Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 268
Pengcheng, one of the most economically vibrant regions in China, is also a city most suitable for young people to pursue their dreams.

Especially in terms of entrepreneurship, it is far from comparable to other cities.

Since the early days of reform and opening up, countless young people have flocked to this city to pursue their dreams of wealth.

Even grassroots people can start from scratch and make a career here.

Although many companies are small in scale and not as well-known as Internet companies, and their revenue and market value are far inferior to those giants, they can still bring entrepreneurs enough wealth to make ordinary people extremely jealous.

Especially in the field of electronic hardware, driven by the foundry industry in Pengcheng for more than 20 years, it has incubator soil that is unmatched by other regions.

If Beijing is the best place to start a business in the Internet field, then Pengcheng is the dream place for starting a business in the field of hardware technology.

Too many small giants in the field of hardware technology have been born here, and these companies have further driven the development of upstream and downstream, forming a unique industrial ecology in Pengcheng.

If you want to start a hardware business, you can easily find suppliers of various spare parts in Pengcheng.

It is also because of this that many talents in the hardware field regard Pengcheng as the first choice for starting a business.

Wang Tao, the founder of Dajiang UAV, is one of them.

Futian District, Shennan Avenue, near Chegong Temple, Sunshine Golf Building, is the birthplace of Dajiang UAV.

Arrived in Pengcheng yesterday afternoon and stayed at the hotel for one night. Ma Liang brought Lin Fengyun to the door early this morning.

No advance contact, no appointment.

Because the current Dajiang UAV has only been established for less than half a year, and it is still nothing, and no information can be found on the Internet.

Even if Ma Liang wanted to contact him in advance, he didn't have his number.

He can only actively find the door based on the information he learned in his previous life, and he doesn't care whether he will scare him or not, so he kills him directly.

"Are you sure it's here? Why isn't there even a signboard?" Lin Fengyun didn't understand what Ma Liang was thinking at all, and insisted on investing in a company that didn't even have a formal office location.

Ma Liang was also a little anxious, based on the information from his previous life, he should have found the right place: "Wait a minute, I'll go ask someone."

The entrepreneurial journey of Wang Tao, the founder of Dajiang UAV, was not all smooth sailing.

Although he was born in a middle-class family, he has no financial worries at all, but that's all.At most, the family supported him to study at Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology, and there was nothing else he could do.

As for the start-up capital for starting a business, he managed to find two classmates to raise it together.

And the most important thing is that I didn't even have an office at the beginning of my business. Instead, I borrowed a warehouse from my uncle's magazine and used it as a temporary office.

Although Ma Liang remembered the information and found the magazine, he didn't know where the warehouse was.

He could only go to the office of the magazine and find someone to inquire about it.

He knocked on the door, walked straight into the magazine office, and asked the lady at the front desk, "Hello, I'm here for an interview. Is Dajiang Company, which makes remote-controlled helicopters, here?"

He wouldn't say that he was here to invest. Naturally, the lower the profile, the better.

"Go out and walk along the aisle to the end, then turn right, the innermost warehouse is." The girl at the front desk did not raise her head, and impatiently pointed in the direction with the pen in her hand.

Recently, people have been asking about interviews, and the young lady has also been annoyed recently.

If it weren't for the fact that Wang Tao is the nephew of the owner of the magazine, she might not even have such a perfunctory attitude.

Ma Liang thanked him, turned his head and led Lin Fengyun inside.

After walking to the end, I saw an extremely simple office, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a warehouse.

"This is the company you want to invest in?" Lin Fengyun looked at the extremely shabby office in front of her, her eyes widened, and she wondered if there was something wrong with Ma Liang.

Ma Liang is also very embarrassed, after all, Da Jiang is really nothing at this moment.

Unless there are special hard-core patents for technology start-ups like Dajiang, it is rare for them to be able to successfully raise funds at the initial stage.

At the very least, a product prototype must be made, and even a certain amount of orders must be made before a chat with an investment institution is possible.

Let alone domestic, even abroad.

It is better than Gangzhu Qiao, who founded Apple, and he also worked in a garage in the early days of his business. Later, Google was actually similar.

Therefore, in the US technology and venture capital circles, the culture of starting a business in a garage has always been prevalent.

This trend has gradually spread to China, and many cup-packers even found garages or warehouses to work in the early days of their businesses.

It's like not showing your determination to start a business without setting up a warehouse as an office.

Even the Entrepreneurship Avenue, which was built in Zhongguancun, Beijing seven or eight years later, opened a coffee shop with the theme of venture capital exchange activities, called [Garage Coffee].

This shows how much the old American garage culture has had an impact on the venture capital circle.

According to rumors, the idol of Wang Tao, the founder of Dajiang, is Gangzhu Qiao. He chose to start his business in the warehouse, and I don’t know if he did it deliberately.

Seeing that Lin Fengyun's eyes were full of doubts, Ma Liang could only make up for it: "Technology start-up companies are like this. Only hard work and plain living can concentrate on research and development."

As he said that, he rushed into the warehouse, afraid that Lin Fengyun would continue to ask questions.

If he continued to ask, he didn't know how to justify himself.After all, with the current situation of Dajiang, no one with a normal mind would choose to invest at this time.

"Who are you looking for?" Seeing the two of them rushing in, a chubby young man raised his head and asked.

Although he had only seen photos on the Internet in his previous life, Ma Liang quickly recognized the person who was asking the question in front of him, Lu Zhihui, one of the four heavenly kings of Dajiang Creation.

The reason why he recognized the other party was because he also founded an industrial drone company after leaving Dajiang Company.

Although not as well-known as Dajiang Company, it is also a quasi-unicorn company.

In his previous life, Ma Liang had seen Lu Zhihui's bright moments in the media several times, so he was very impressed with this guy.

Facing Lu Zhihui's inquiry, he still didn't explain why he came, but directly called: "Excuse me, is Mr. Wang there?"

Although this guy in front of him is one of the founders of Dajiang, he can't make the decision at all when it comes to investment.

"You guys are here for an interview. Sit down and wait a while. He has gone to the toilet and will be back in a while." Seeing that Ma Liang was young, Lu Zhihui secretly guessed.

But looking at Lin Fengyun beside him, he muttered in his heart again.

What kind of young master is this? He is so timid in interviews, and he still wants to bring such a beautiful sister with him?
Lu Zhihui planned to turn around and try to persuade Wang Tao. Even if Ma Liang's conditions were right, he couldn't take him. After all, such a hypocritical guy would not last long.

Just as he was talking, a young man with glasses whose hairline receded to the top of his head walked in.

"Wang Tao, you have another interview?" Lu Zhihui turned his head towards Ma Liang, and immediately gestured.

Wang Tao glanced at Ma Liang, but was also confused: "No!"

Although the previous founding team of Dajiang Company had completely disbanded, and even the three heavenly kings Lu Zhihui, Chen Jinying, and Chen Chuqiang were newly recruited by him, they did not continue to recruit in the past few days.

"Mr. Wang, I'm not here for an interview.

Is it convenient to find a secluded place to chat, I want to talk to you about some business! Seeing this, Ma Liang immediately walked up to the other party and explained.

Now Wang Tao is even more confused. Dajiang Company has not even developed mature products at the moment, and sales are even more impossible to talk about. How could anyone come to him to discuss business.

What's more, he didn't publicize it to the outside world, how did Ma Liang find out about his place.

Wang Tao was very puzzled, and he couldn't help becoming wary, so he asked, "Excuse me, are you...?"

"Mr. Wang, why don't we go to the coffee shop downstairs?" Ma Liang looked around, deliberately showing a disgusted expression, indicating that this warehouse is not a place for conversation.

Seeing this, Wang Tao agreed: "Alright then!"

After finishing speaking, he told Lu Zhihui to watch, and then followed Ma Liang and the other two downstairs.

On the elevator, Wang Tao looked at Ma Liang, who was younger than him, and kept muttering in his heart.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't guess that Ma Liang came to him to invest.
