"Aceone, a real commercial drone, a top technology equipment manufacturer born in China, one of the top fifty unicorn companies, Fang Yi, do you know what a unicorn is?"
Seeing Wang Tao again, Wang Tao took him into his personal laboratory. However, instead of introducing new products, he praised himself.
Fang Yi could only do the right thing:
"What is a unicorn?"
"An unlisted startup company that has been established for less than 10 years and has a valuation of more than US$1 billion... This is a broad interpretation. Strictly speaking, it also requires that the company has unique technology in the industry and has no absolute competitors."
Wang Tao said word for word, "Only in this way can we become one of the top large companies in a very short time."
Fang Yi answered his words, praised a few words, and picked up the white drone in the laboratory to take a look:
Although I knew it would be a good thing at that time, I didn't expect it to be so successful. It would cost people 700 million US dollars to come in.
What is the magic power?
Fang Yi smiled softly, remembering that he had just finished filming "Love Is Afterlife", and on that endless grassland, the crew members who were excited about killing people were rolling around in all directions.
I have been filming since then, but I am really not as impressed as that day.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Think about my filming."
"Is filming fun?" Wang Tao asked.
"Is it fun for you to make drones?" Fang Yi asked back.
Wang Tao, a man from science and engineering, smiled knowingly and led him out of the laboratory and up to the top floor, which had been rented by DJ and turned into Wang Tao's personal office.
"From the floor you came in to..." Wang Tao made a gesture like a plane climbing vertically, "Whoops~"
"Going up, all the floors belong to DJ."
There was a person standing in the office to greet them, but Fang Yi didn't recognize him.
"My classmate." Wang Tao shrugged, "It's the guy who invested 70,000 yuan in me. He's very mysterious, right? He's made a lot of money now, but I never regret it. Without him, there would be no me."
Looking at Fang Yi: "You have also made a lot of money. How much did you spend on investment at that time? Well, one million or ten million? It can't be ten thousand yuan."
Fang Yi joked: "I don't remember."
The joke wasn't funny, but both of them were laughing, to the point of exaggeration.
Wang Tao is young, but his hair is sparse. He likes to wear a peaked cap to cover up when meeting people. But now he threw away the hat, carelessly fiddled with the hair on the top of his head, and said:
"I haven't introduced it to you because I think few investors can understand me. But you are an exception, and your cultural level is not bad. It's not like you don't understand everything."
He told Fang Yi the history of DJ development, mixed with the history of his own business, one by one.
From being frustrated in love in college, to participating in a certain technology competition, to not being able to find the job of your choice after graduation... The difficulties of starting a business, the lack of funds, and the departure of employees...
"I'm not the Wang Tao in the newspaper, or the 'entrepreneur' they call me. What I was thinking about at that time was whether what I was doing was meaningful and whether I could persevere."
"But the reality is too bad, and I am too impatient. I think what I make is very good and cannot be sold casually. I have to be careful. As a result, no one really invests, until..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Tao's classmate answered: "Until I met Director Fang."
Wang Tao nodded heavily: "Yes, it was until I met you, and it was indeed a turn of events after that."
"Sometimes I think subjectively that you are the same person as me. It may be like you filming a movie and me making drones. Of course money is also important, but I don't make drones just to make money."
Fang Yi listened silently.
It was obvious that Wang Tao had made some decision today, which was when his mood fluctuated.
Before boarding the plane, Zheng Qiudong, who came from Sequoia Capital, gave Fang Yi a guess in advance:
"The bid from Gaoling Capital is too high. Maybe there are shareholders who are really interested this time... Think about it carefully, apart from the alumnus Wang Tao, you are actually the only individual shareholder left. The others are all hundreds of billions of big capitals. Boss,
Wang Tao will probably be very lonely in the future."
Fang Yina asked: "Don't Wang Tao own more than 50% of the shares?"
Zheng Qiudong said: "The reality is not what Wang Tao says. Everyone makes money. He must take into account the interests of all parties and maintain a balance. He should not only let those who are spitting out money now run away, but also let them see that they will eat more in the future."
The hope of money... Besides, the shareholders also include the Shencheng State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and a bunch of young men who cannot be written in this article. Making money is their natural right. It is power, not right."
"You mean..."
"Wang Tao may not be able to handle the pressure."
——Back to this office.
It displays pictures and texts of various major events since DJ was founded, with brief introductions. For example, when he received investment for the first time, such as Fang Yi's movies "Love Has an Afterlife" and "Love Letter"...
Walking here, it seems like you have walked through the past few years of your life and recalled everything.
Stop by the movie "Love Has an Afterlife".
The photo shows the whole crew rolling in the grass. But there are two standing ones. Well, actually one is standing and the other is hanging. I can’t see the exact face. I can only roughly guess who it is from the color of the clothes.
.
Wang Tao said: "What a blessing. If this photo leaks out, I'm afraid it will turn the Internet upside down."
Fang Yi chuckled: "It's not that big of a deal. I know a lot about it, and it's also available on the Internet."
"Oh, that's because I don't understand your circle. I thought that if you have photos, you have to hold a press conference. You have to make up a reason to say that the two are brother and sister, or admit it honestly - I didn't expect that you can do nothing."
"My agent told me that if you treat it coldly, the fans will explain themselves."
Wang Tao seemed to understand: "However, we who are in the industry are not like your entertainment industry. You do things in a high-profile way, and I can see you every day, but you can actually hide things that you want to hide; we do things in a low-key way.
, except for a few people in the industry, but you can't hide it at all. Once you get involved, someone will immediately be watching you... You can't just pretend to be an ostrich and get through it."
Fang Yi thought Wang Tao was going to get down to business right away, but he didn't expect that he would change the topic and never mention the matter again. Instead, he said:
"High Ling Capital invites us to play golf and ride white horses... Of course, it is to please us and for us to vote for him, so as not to delay his entry and not delay everyone's making money... Now it seems to be something that makes everyone happy."
He continued: "Director Fang, you are our face..."
Wang Tao picked up his peaked cap and put it on, his expression gradually became serious: "...he is also their distinguished guest, right?"
A group of people took the elevator down.
I met the company employees, who seemed to have been added later. I was waiting for the elevator and pressed the button. Unexpectedly, the elevator of several directors was stopped.
The employees should have understood that this was a critical time and there were people from Gaoling Capital waiting downstairs, so they apologized desperately.
Wang Tao and his classmates were used to this kind of respect and did not move a muscle.
But when he saw Fang Yi smiling and mouthing "It's okay", Wang Tao noticed it and had no choice but to smile and nod.
After the elevator door opened, I saw people from Gaoling Capital already waiting at the door. But they were neither far nor close. They seemed to be waiting, but also seemed to be just chatting nearby.
The leader snapped his fingers, attracting Fang Yi's attention, and motioned Fang Yi to look at the watch on his wrist:
"I've always worn a Rolex, and I don't know why. I saw Director Fang's endorsement a few days ago, and it turns out that heroes have similar opinions... We are all Rolex wearers."
