"Do you have a photo of Li Zhou?" Chu Yu asked.
Xiao Jin was taken aback for a moment, "Should I go look for it?"
Generally speaking, they don't have photos of the founders, since it's not important; they're investing in startups, not the founders' faces.
However, during their research and photo-taking process, they also took photos of the boss.
Xiao Jin went to look for him and returned quickly. Chu Yu picked up Xiao Jin's photo and saw that, sure enough, the man in the photo wearing a white shirt, jeans, and limited edition sneakers was none other than Li Zhou.
It's surprising that people were already collecting limited-edition sneakers in the late 1990s.
"It really is him."
"Mr. Zhou, do you know Li Zhou?"
"He is my friend's fiancé."
Xiao Jin was a little surprised. He always felt that capable people were surrounded by other capable people. However, Xiao Jin was also doing well. He had worked with Boss Zhou for several years, and Boss Zhou promoted and gave him a raise. Now his salary was very high, and he could afford to buy a house in Beijing.
“If you’re interested in Li Zhou’s project, why don’t we help you negotiate first? Once we’ve agreed on a reasonable price, you can then talk to him directly,” Xiao Jin said.
Xiao Jin was very thoughtful. With Chu Yu involved, and everyone knowing each other, it would be difficult to negotiate the price. Moreover, Shen Zhuyu and Li Zhou weren't married yet. If they didn't end up getting married, it would be awkward for everyone to meet.
Work is work, and life is life; Chu Yu keeps these distinctions very clear.
"Are there any companies worth investing in this year?" Chu Yu asked.
Chu Yu wasn't very interested in most of the projects Xiao Jin brought.
"Mr. Zhou, would you be interested in this project? It's a company that develops drones. Since the advent of ternary lithium batteries, the drone industry has developed rapidly, and this company specializes in researching civilian drones."
Chu Yu opened the project proposal. Xiao Jin's project proposals were always very straightforward. This was a company that made drones. Chu Yu had heard of this company before. Their drones were very famous. He heard that because of their strong technology, they also provided technical support to the military and made many drones for reconnaissance.
Seeing that she was looking at it very seriously, Xiao Jin said, "Drones have been around in foreign countries for seventy years. my country started developing them later, only in the 1970s. But we've caught up and surpassed others. The drones made by this company can be used to spray pesticides, take photos and videos, explore the ocean, and automatically track things. Oh, and these drones can also transport things."
Xiao Jin became more and more excited as he spoke. He was interested in electronic products, and drones were one of the products that interested him. This brand had been doing well, and Xiao Jin hoped that the brand could get funding so that he could have better products to use.
"Oh?" Chu Yu smiled. "You're very interested in drones?"
Xiao Jin scratched his head, not denying it. "Boys all like electronic products, right? But what I said is true. The boss showed me a video of the drone. This drone is quite stable, can fly a long distance, and can transport some simple things, such as apples, boxed lunches, and express deliveries. Spraying pesticides is also no problem. Right now, drones are expensive and not widely used, but I believe that in the near future, drones will be used more extensively."
Chu Yu smiled. "How much investment is needed?"
"Twenty million."
"Go ahead and invest. Although small businesses are slow to make profits, the advancement of drone technology is a good thing for the country and its people, and it can also improve work efficiency. It's really great," Chu Yu said with a smile.
Xiao Jin was deeply moved. It was true that President Zhou was a businessman, but he also had a heart that benefited the country and its people. President Zhou often donated to help girls in distress, helping them to read and write and escape their harsh environment.
President Zhou has a truly charismatic personality.
Xiao Jin left happily, and Xiao Qian came in again to talk to Chu Yu about some investment matters.
Gaoyang Capital invests in several companies every year, and now its portfolio spans more than twenty industries. Chu Yu hopes to incubate more and better product brands, and even beyond China, to incubate projects worldwide.
Since its listing, Hongyu Shopping Website has maintained stable development. Recently, Chuyu held a mid-year promotion with particularly low prices on books, which attracted customers through website discounts.
Promotions always attract crowds, and the website's user base doubled in just one month, proving to be a resounding success.
However, Hongyu also encountered some problems during its operation. Yan Hongzhe and his team have been making improvements, and the shopping website is now becoming more and more stable.
Time flies so fast. After summer vacation, Zhouzhou and Duoduo will be in the middle class of kindergarten.
But time was passing too slowly, so slowly that Chu Yu hoped the internet would become widespread sooner, so that online shopping would experience explosive growth, humanity would enter the internet age, and Chu Yu could truly feel how his company was influencing people's lives.
This year, Qi Ping's company released a new mobile phone with a larger screen, a more advanced system, and a certain degree of intelligence.
The new phone has fax and data functions, and it's a slider phone with excellent screen operability; it even supports handwriting input!
It has to be said that Qi Ping's R&D capabilities are truly impressive. He failed to develop a mobile phone in his previous life, probably because he lacked investment. In this life, Chu Yu invested in Qi Ping, and Qi Ping's R&D path has progressed very steadily.
The new phone sold out as soon as it hit the market.
Let alone ordinary users, even Chu Yu couldn't put down this phone when he saw it.
She bought herself a white flip phone. The phone was small, had a sensitive feel, and had a larger screen than her previous one, but was still smaller in size. In short, it was very suitable for girls to carry.
Chu Yu saw a hint of what a smartphone might be.
At Qi Ping's current pace, smartphones could be developed in three to five years.
The first real smartphone didn't appear until 2007. This year is already 1998. If a smartphone can be developed in three to five years, it will be about the same time.
