Chapter 180 Investing in Sweepers and Inviting Development

"Haohao, why did you give her so much money?"

Jiang Hai had a serious face at the moment, and his voice was so loud that even passers-by turned their eyes to him.

In the waiting hall of the long-distance bus, Jiang Hao drove Jiang Hai and Jiang Yue to the station, and the two immediately prepared to take the bus back.

I arrived in Songjiang early in the morning, but apart from the time spent on the bus, I didn't spend much time in Songjiang.

Jiang Hao no longer carries cash with him. But when he was in the coffee shop, he asked Sister Lin to count out a thousand dollars in cash from the store in advance.

Seeing that the father and daughter were about to leave, he stuffed the money into Jiang Yue's pocket.

However, Jiang Yue also looked panicked and did not dare to take the money.

"Uncle, this isn't for you. Yueyue did so well in the college entrance exam, so what's wrong with me, as her brother, giving her a red envelope?"

"Yueyue, you should have fun during the summer vacation. There will be a lot to do when you just start your freshman year."

As he said that, he threw the red envelope into Jiang Yue's shirt pocket.

"Uncle, that's enough! It's just a small amount of money, don't let others laugh at you."

Seeing that Jiang Hai was still unhappy, he seemed ready to return the money.

Jiang Hao continued to add, and then he waved and left without any more giving way.

Actually, he and Jiang Yue were close only when they were young, but their relationship immediately faded after he graduated from college and started working.

At that time, let alone contacting Jiang Yue or Uncle Hai, he was even a little impatient with calls from his parents.

People who work under high pressure have become so indifferent to their relatives that they want to put everything aside and only care about their own feelings.

In this life, facing Uncle Hai who has treated him like a son since childhood, he naturally wants to repay his uncle now that he has the ability.

However, Jiang Hao knew that he could not help Uncle Hai in any major way.

Just like his own parents, he often won't be asked for help.

The best way to help Uncle Hai is to help him live his own career and life well.

At the same time, I will take better care of my younger sister, who has been very close to me since childhood, in the future. This is the biggest reward for Uncle Hai.

……

The next morning at 9:30.

Jiang Hao, who had just finished his morning class, hurried to the coffee shop.

When he arrived, Professor Duan and Pang Yi were already waiting in the coffee shop.

"Teacher Duan, Junior Brother Pang, I didn't expect you to arrive so early."

"I don't have much to do this morning. I heard from a student in my group that this coffee shop is owned by you. It really has a nice environment!"

"The store was for sale at the time and I just happened to like it so I bought it."

The few of them didn't bother about his coffee shop. Instead, they took the opportunity to ask him about the situation before Professor Zheng arrived.

"I heard from you that the investor coming this time is Professor Zheng from our School of Economics and Management?"

"That's right. Professor Zheng is the vice president of Songjiang Yifan Investment. The company's main business is private equity funds, but of course they also invest in other areas."

"Professor Zheng Yifan Investment also participated in the Series A financing of Totoro Live, which is under my name."

"I never thought there would be such an investment professor in the school!"

It was only after Professor Duan asked Professor Zou last night that he found out that there really was such a person in his school.

Unlike Pang Yi, who is still a little confused at the moment and has no practical idea about this professor investor from the School of Economics and Management of his school.

Professor Zheng does not do scientific research at Songshan University of Technology and teaches few courses, so his presence is indeed not high.

In the school, unless they are school leaders or people who have been contacted by Professor Zheng, such as Professor Zou, not many people know him.

"Professor Zheng!"

Professor Zheng, still dressed like a business elite, walked into the store at the door.

He was wearing a light blue polo shirt and black trousers, and was taking off his sunglasses.

The POLO shirt, which Jiang Hao thought was extremely difficult to wear, was surprisingly suitable for Professor Zheng.

"Teacher Xiao Jiang, long time no see!"

"Have you received the money our company transferred?"

"Haha! Got it, Professor Zheng, I never urged you!"

"I know. After all, it's the company that's lending the money. I'm also worried that the financial part will delay the development of Totoro Live, which is not worth it."

Several people stood up to greet Professor Zheng. As for the amount of money they were talking about, it was the A round of financing that Yifan Investment had invested in Totoro Live.

It was agreed that the money would be received in several installments. After this money is received, the third installment will be received after a while. If the development goes smoothly, the B round of financing can be started.

"Let me introduce you. This is Associate Professor Duan Hong from the School of Information Engineering. He is in the same group as Professor Zou."

"This is Professor Duan's favorite student and this year's master's graduate, Pang Yi."

"Hello, Professor Zheng."

After greeting each other, the few of them sat down. Professor Duan turned on the computer on the desk and sent the currently planned products to the two of them.

"What I am currently developing is a laser radar sweeper, which mainly uses laser radar technology to measure distance and build a 3D map model through data algorithms."

"And we also have the support of automatic cleaning route planning, breakpoint memory recovery cleaning, etc."

The main projects include product introduction, which Jiang Hao simply talked about with Professor Zheng on the phone.

Of course I am interested in this product, otherwise I wouldn’t be sitting here.

"Professor Duan, can you guarantee the intelligence of the product you designed? How does it compare with the mainstream products on the market?"

"No one can guarantee the level of intelligence at present. We can only say that it can reach the mainstream level of the market."

"After all, this function is mainly in the software, and my main work is in the hardware, so I can't give any guarantee."

In response to Professor Zheng's question, Professor Duan answered very honestly. If it shouldn't be possible, it shouldn't be possible, and he didn't make any big promises.

This is what we are facing when facing the two of them. If we really say this to venture capital companies, and they cannot guarantee anything right from the start, they will probably turn around and leave.

"Have you considered how much you can reduce the cost?"

"It depends on the specific R&D costs. The actual accessories of the sweeper are not expensive. It may still be the cost of chips, cameras and sensors."

"If we really buy in large quantities, I estimate that it will be around 200 yuan, but once the R&D costs are spread out, it's hard to say."

"If the production quantity is really small, the cost may be very high."

Professor Zheng's expression remained unchanged when he heard this, and he was ready to continue asking questions about several projects that he was more concerned about.

"Professor Duan, where has our project actually been completed so far? What are the main problems that need to be solved?"

Jiang Hao finally spoke before Professor Zheng.

It’s better not to let Professor Zheng continue asking questions, even though he is communicating with the two of them.

But Professor Duan’s answer doesn’t even paint a rosy picture, so how can they be willing to pay?

Thinking of this, he quickly helped to change the subject and let Professor Duan talk about the difficulties and needs first.

"At present, I have been able to complete the technical solution of LiDAR, and the cost of subsequent testing and adjustment is not high."

"And I can guarantee that the lidar solution I have designed is the most accurate on the market."

"The product design has already taken shape. As long as the funds are in place, we can try production testing. However, the supporting software has not yet been developed."

"Xiao Jiang, I remember you're a computer major, are you interested in helping out?"

Unexpectedly, the progress of the work is quite fast, which means that Professor Duan has almost mastered the hardware technology.

The only thing left is the software support, and they actually want him to participate in the hosting.

But he didn't have the time for that, and it had nothing to do with his major, so he politely declined.

"Teacher Duan, I'm not very good at this!"

"What I know is traditional software development. What you do is embedded development. I am not as good as Brother Pang in this area."

Although many aspects of software development are similar, this area is actually a combination of software and hardware development.

Jiang Hao has now learned some basic knowledge of electronics, so he can do it.

But firstly, he has no interest in it. At present, he has completely moved away from the model of making money through technical labor, so there is no need for him to go back to the old path now.

Second, he really has no experience in this kind of software and hardware combined development, so he can't be very professional, just a jack of all trades.

Not to mention that in the future, when it comes to real machine learning algorithms, we still need to recruit more professional technical experts to work on them.
