Reborn: Billionaire in College

The reason for the surprise attack was partly due to Chen Pingjiang's personal bad taste.

He wanted to see how embarrassed Wang Tao, who would be a big shot in the future, was at the moment.

In addition, you can also see DJI’s environment in real life, which will be of great help in the next round of negotiations and price bargaining.

The next day, at just before 11 o'clock in the morning, Chen Pingjiang and others arrived in Shenzhen.

When he arrived at DJI's address, Chen Pingjiang was still a little stunned.

DJI’s current office is located in a three-bedroom residential building, which, from the outside, appears to be no more than 90 square meters.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Bu Housheng took a step forward: "We are Tianyuan Capital. Is Mr. Wang Tao here?"

"Yes, yes, I'll take you there."

In a sea of ​​parts and circuit boards, Chen Pingjiang met Wang Tao.

Wang Tao, who had stayed up all night, looked a little tired. His thin hair was shiny and greasy, and he looked quite haggard.

"Old Wang, someone is looking for you."

Wang Tao, who was stretching and yawning, was stunned. When he turned around, he saw three "successful people" dressed in suits.

The conversation also attracted the attention of other DJI members.

"You can't recognize him? Mr. Chen Pingjiang."

After being reminded, Wang Tao suddenly realized: "No wonder I said you looked so familiar. Sorry, Mr. Chen, you don't look like you on TV."

Chen Pingjiang looked around with a smile: "Is your team all here?"

"Our marketing manager Guo Jia is out to collect orders. There is also a teacher Zhu who will come over this afternoon."

All the DJI team members seemed very excited. Anyone who was not a fool would understand what it meant to meet Chen Pingjiang here.

Some people silently said in their hearts: "Don't mess up the negotiation."

"Let's find a place to chat?" Chen Pingjiang saw that there was not a single extra chair in this small place.

The group finally chose a private room in a nearby teahouse.

After sitting down, Chen Pingjiang asked curiously, "Your annual sales are about 3 million, why don't you change the location?"

Wang Tao smiled shyly: "Three million is not enough. After deducting the cost and staff salaries, there is not much left, and then there is research and development."

With a sales volume of 3 million, even if the profit is 50%, it is only 1.5 million. Let's say the average salary is 5,000. The team now has 8 people, and the monthly salary is 40,000, which means 480,000 a year. After taking into account social security and other administrative expenses, there is really not much money left.

As they were talking, an old man and a young boy walked into the box together.

Wang Tao was relieved after seeing them. It was good that Guo Jia and Zhu Xiaorui came. He knew that he was not good at speaking and rarely interacted with people. He was afraid that he would say something wrong and finally ruin the cooperation.

"Mr. Chen, this is Zhu Xiaorui, formerly a doctoral supervisor at Harbin Institute of Technology, and now the chief scientist of our company. This is my childhood friend, and now the marketing manager of our company. They are also shareholders of our company."

Zhu Xiaorui and Guo Jia were both stunned when they received the call.

He never expected that it would be Chen Pingjiang, the hottest star in the country, who would come in person, so he immediately rushed over as fast as possible.

Chen Pingjiang didn’t know these two people, but he thought they were probably the second generation founders of DJI.

Because all the first generation founders ran away.

Because it was too tiring and there were equity issues.

In the early days of his business, Wang Tao had no experience in company management and was completely focused on technology.

When we first started the company, everyone was very excited and the shareholding promises became huge all of a sudden.

Finally, Wang Tao felt a little uncomfortable. He had the best skills and made the greatest contribution, but he did not receive shares to match, so his salary was reduced twice.

This also made other people unhappy, and due to other factors, they ran away.

After exchanging pleasantries with the two, Chen Pingjiang said without beating around the bush: "The reason I came here today is naturally because I am interested in your company. I will definitely invest money, but the specific amount of investment and the shareholding need to be discussed in detail. It depends on how you convince me."

The three science and engineering men, even a technical master like Zhu Xiaorui, were choked up. They were all somewhat uncomfortable with Chen Pingjiang's direct and strong style.

"Our helicopter flight control system is very good and is considered to be leading in China."

“Our team’s skills are very impressive.”

Several people spoke one after another.

But Chen Pingjiang shook his head and said, "It's all in the information. You've been looking for investment for a while, right? Besides me, have other people expressed interest? Your annual sales are only 300 million. Even if I multiply it by 10, it's only million, which is still far from enough."

Finally, the mature and steady Zhu Xiaorui said, "Mr. Chen, just tell us what you think and we will analyze it."

"It's simple. Give up making helicopter flight control and switch to making other products."

"What product?"

"Consumer drone! Multi-rotor." This concept is still very new at the moment.

The market in the past 10 years has been either model aircraft, helicopters, or drones used by the military.

"We have studied multi-rotor aircraft models before, but their stability is very poor."

"It is precisely because of the blank that it is worth researching. If there are already competing products in the market, why would I come to you? If it cannot hover, then research the flight control technology. If there is image jitter, then research the gimbal." Chen Pingjiang said with a smile.

Wang Tao was still a little confused: "Will anyone buy this kind of thing? A drone model costs hundreds of thousands of yuan."

"How do you know no one will buy it if you don't make it?"

It is quite interesting to see how this process of leading future industry leaders around detours is accomplished.

Historically, DJI first developed the Zenmuse gimbal, which was a huge success, and then turned to developing a consumer drone that can carry aerial photography - the DJI Phantom 1.

Chen Pingjiang continued, "I know your company may not be worth much money now, but I am willing to invest 100 million RMB and only acquire 40% of the shares. In addition, I will build a building for you at the Orange mobile terminal base, Qingshan Lake, as DJI's headquarters. With ready-made talents, ready-made foundries, and publicity and sales channels, I dare say that as long as you can produce a prototype that meets the requirements, I can make it quickly occupy the market."

Wang Tao, Zhu Xiaorui and Guo Jia looked at each other and saw the heat in each other's eyes.

Some of them even couldn't believe their ears.

The offer was too tempting.

Right now, DJI is worth at most 20 to 30 million, but Chen Pingjiang managed to raise its valuation to 100 million.

The most important thing is that with the empowerment of Orange mobile phones, we don’t have to worry about future production and sales.

Bu Housheng, who was standing by, was a little confused.

Is there anyone who still invests like this?
Isn’t this too unrestrained?
If someone else were to talk about this, Bu Housheng would have spit in disgust.

Who can guarantee that after investing money, providing a site and a bunch of resources, a qualified product can be produced? If not, won’t everything be wasted?
Zhu Xiaorui has seen the world, so she couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, why is Mr. Chen so optimistic about us? To be honest, the conditions are a little too good, so good that we can hardly believe it."

Chen Pingjiang glanced at them and said, "I've learned about your helicopter flight control system and it's really good. I also admire the strength of your team, especially Professor Zhu and Wang Tao's personal level."

"I have always wanted to make a consumer-grade, inexpensive and good-looking drone, but I haven't found a company that I like. You are one of them. Let professionals do professional things. I like you very much."

"UAVs are a promising direction for me in the future. Besides that, rocket launches, nuclear fusion, virtual reality, and AI are also my interests."

Wang Tao swallowed his saliva. As a technology fanatic, these concepts sounded exciting to him.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Chen Pingjiang differently.

The boss is the boss, and he plays differently from us.

Oh, it's not just us, it's different from other rich people in the world.

The big guys are playing with innovation and subversion, all of which are high-tech.

Look at their vision and mission.
What kind of social responsibility?

Chen Pingjiang's voice continued: "I'm not afraid of being laughed at. My current wealth is enough for me to squander for ten lifetimes. I no longer have any motivation to make money. The reason why I haven't just laid down to enjoy life is purely because I still have some expectations for this world. I believe that technological innovation can solve the problems facing mankind, such as climate change, energy crisis, space exploration, etc. Humanity needs to move towards a better future, without war, poverty, and disease; we cannot only pursue our own interests, but should focus on the community with a shared future for mankind."

large and luxurious!
This was everyone’s first feeling.

Wang Tao's blood boiled when he heard this, and his eyes were shining as he looked at Chen Pingjiang.

Zhu Xiaorui was also somewhat moved.

If an ordinary person talked about a community with a shared future for mankind in front of them, they would definitely be dismissive.

But when this person is changed to Chen Pingjiang, the meaning is different.

He could really do it!
Regardless of whether he did it or not, the sentiment behind this wealth is enough to make people respect him.

Looking at their eyes, Chen Pingjiang felt that this trick was very useful.

No wonder Musk later had so many big germs.

How many people worship him.

The Internet is full of praise and compliments for him.

In the eyes of the world, he and entrepreneurs are different.

Chen Pingjiang naturally does not deny Musk’s awesomeness, but the key lies in the cleverness of his character creation.

"No problem, Mr. Chen, your conditions are very good, I agree."

"Yeah, us too."

Chen Pingjiang confirmed: "Isn't it too fast? Don't you need to think about it again?"

Wang Tao waved his hand and said, "With such good conditions, why would we consider it? If someone else comes, they will only exploit us. But you are different. You really understand technology and respect it. Compared with the vast starry sky you envisioned, if we don't follow suit, we will seem too hypocritical and a little ungrateful."

"Okay! Then it's settled. You can pack up tomorrow, and I'll find a car to transport them to Dongjiang. We'll sign the contract and pay the money when we get there." Chen Pingjiang stood up with a smile: "Then I wish we can change the world in the future!"

Everyone else stood up and high-fived. (End of this chapter)
