Yang Chaolang analyzed for Lu Fan several problems that intelligent robots have not yet been able to overcome.
Lu Fan shook his head and smiled:
"Alright, stop thinking about it. If I were to invest in your project, it wouldn't be robotics, which currently seems to have no commercial prospects."
Yang Chaolang was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "Then what are you trying to do, Brother Lu?" Lu Fan pointed to the document Lu Fan handed him: "Look, this is it." Yang Chaolang's eyes widened: "Ah, but this..."
The words Lu Fan pointed to were clearly "mechanical skeleton," and he stated them succinctly:
"You, who have studied this, know better than I do that whether it's domestically or internationally, it's very difficult to do this project without official support."
It's not that it's impossible to succeed, but rather that even if you succeed, the authorities simply won't give you any opportunities to develop.
Yang Chaolang knew, and Lu Fan knew too.
Lu Fan handed Yang Chaolang a cigarette and said, "633."
"However, we can take it one step at a time and see. If we can actually secure orders from the domestic government in the future, that will be a considerable sum."
Yang Chaolang swallowed nervously. He understood what Lu Fan meant; the other party hadn't asked him to come for the interview because of his brother.
Rather, they valued his skills and abilities.
This immediately lifted Yang Chaolang's spirits, which had been quite low.
He asked Lu Fan what the first project would be if he were to invest.
Lu Fan laughed and said, "I've heard that when mobile phones and cars release new products, they all have concept phones, concept cars, and so on."
"Since we already have this technology, why not use it as a gimmick?"
But when it came to deciding which part or module to start with, Lu Fan smiled and asked Yang Chaolang:
"Alright, I've reviewed the information. I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration from now on."
"Whenever you have time, complete the onboarding procedures as soon as possible." Yang Chaolang was dumbfounded again. He never expected that his future and job, which had been hanging in the balance for so long, would be secured with just a few simple words.
Even as he walked out of the Fanyue Group building, Yang Chaolang felt unsteady on his feet, wondering if he was sleepwalking.
He felt like he was dreaming, little did he know that Lu Fan also felt like his dream had come true.
Following the successful establishment of Baiyue Supermarket, Millennium Convenience Store, and Tianchen Technology Company, and the subsequent recruitment of suitable senior management talent, the company has achieved significant progress in these ventures.
Lu Fan then felt as if he had some free time.
People can't be idle; if they are idle, they tend to overthink.
Lu Fan, on the other hand, was thinking about what kind of business to start next.
Should we continue with the physical business, or take Tianchen Technology abroad?
Before he could even make a decision, Yang Chaolang came knocking on his door with cutting-edge, high-tech information.
For both Yang Chaolang and Lu Fan, it was like a dream come true, exactly what they wanted.
Lu Fan had also heard of the mechanical power company from the United States.
Representatives from this company also came to China at his previous new energy battery launch event.
The robot project Yang Chaolang was involved in was indeed not very intelligent. Commercializing robots is quite complex, so Lu Fan decided to start small.
Yang Chaolang is in charge of the software, while Fanyue Group can solve the battery and drive system issues for him.
Instead of opening a separate subsidiary, Lu Fan put the product under the name of Tianchen Technology.
As for production workshops and factories, the group currently has no shortage of land.
After confirming Yang Chaolang's employment, Lu Fan took him to the site for verification.
The Human Resources Department assigned the entire team to this new mechanical research and development department.
For other startup tech companies, the biggest challenge at the beginning might be technology.
But in this regard, Lu Fan already has Li Tian and Yang Chaolang.
For them, the real challenge is figuring out how to market their products.
We can't exactly put our products in chain supermarkets like Baiyue, can we?
When Yang Chaolang arrived and saw what was happening, he was immediately stunned:
"How much will this cost?"
Lu Fan originally wanted to tell him that this was the group's land, but seeing that this kid seemed a bit lost except for his research work, he decided to tease him and said with a smile:
"The rent is over 300,000 yuan every month."
This is just the rent; if you include decoration, equipment, staff salaries, and so on, the investment is already considerable.
Because Yang Chaolang also had technical expertise as a shareholder in this department, he thought it wouldn't be appropriate to ask his brother's friends to cover all the investments, so he said:
“Brother Lu, actually, I received my severance pay when I came back from the US. I still have about two million left. Why don't you take this money? I can't…”
Seeing that although this young man was devoted to scientific research, he was kind-hearted and grateful, Lu Fan felt a warmth in his heart. So he said to Yang Chaolang:
"Alright, I was just kidding. Let's not even talk about the land; these factory buildings all belong to the group."
"Even if someone else is short of money, your brother Lu would never be short of money!"
Lu Fan told Yang Chaolang to swallow his anger:
"Regarding equity, Brother Lu won't cheat you. You're contributing your technology as equity, so you'll get 30% of the shares. The company will also distribute dividends at the end of the year."
