I just want to deliver express, but you insist on recruiting me?

Chapter 276 The snowstorm weighed on me for two or three years, which adds up to five years
The concept of family was a little hurtful to Chen Chen. He didn't say anything, which was considered as agreeing to Song Jie's request.

Now that you have decided to help, help to the end.

If you go alone, at most you can provide some macro-level advice, which is of little use.

He has seen many venture capital projects like this before. If it can be called venture capital, it must be innovative.

Most problems arise in the specific details of implementation.

Chen Chen also knew that the help they needed was definitely technical guidance, not metaphysical nonsense, so he called Cao Zihua back from the northwest.

"Unmanned delivery vehicle?" Cao Zihua was confused as he read the project introduction in the car.

“Yes, the project led by Shunfeng was definitely a hot spot five years ago.”

"But it's five years later now. This thing is worthless."

Cao Zihua closed the information and put it back on his seat as it was, not even bothering to look at it.

This project was planned by Shunfeng a few years ago.

At that time, Wei Xiao had not yet taken over Shunfeng. It was the former top leader who made the decision.

There was a lot of noise when the project was launched.

We promise to achieve mass production within three years and ring the bell within five years.

Lutong Technology, which is in charge of this project, was once at the center of controversy.

then……

There's no after that.

Cao Zihua thought this didn't seem like Wei Xiao's work: "Why didn't President Wei withdraw his investment?"

“I can’t withdraw.”

"What? The police station won't let us." Cao Zihua picked his nose.

Chen Chen glanced at Lutong Technology outside the car window: "It's nepotism. The CEO of Lutong is Wei Xiao's elder."

"Ow—"

Cao Zihua immediately had no questions.

That makes sense, if you put it that way.

It's not surprising that wealthy people would have something like this to play with.

And in Mr. Wei’s situation, the word “elder” is the most fatal.

The power in Huawei is being transferred, and President Wei’s position is not particularly stable yet, and he particularly needs the support of his elders.

Therefore, the existence of Lutong Technology is equivalent to a disguised gift.

While talking.

The two got out of the car. This was an inconspicuous company located in the Jiangbei Science and Technology Industrial Park.

Lu Tong also received news in advance that Shunfeng would send a team to inspect, and prepared a team to welcome them at the door.

"Su Xuesong?"

Looking at the young man in front of him who was about the same age as him, Cao Zihua shook his head in his heart.

Or you should just stop doing this empty act of lining up to welcome someone.

Or you just show some sincerity.

President of Chendun Group, strategic partner of Shunfeng, and future son-in-law of Huawei...

My godfather came to inspect with so many titles, and you sent a yellow-haired boy?
It’s better not to send.

"Mr. Su, are you the company's public relations director?" Cao Zihua asked.

"I'm not."

"Is that a human thing?"

Su Xuesong answered directly: "I am the boss, I have no business dealings with people."

Chen Chen couldn't help laughing: "You are from the south, right?"

"correct."

"People in the south shouldn't learn to use the erhua sound. You can't add er after '人事'."

Cao Zihua was surprised after hearing this: "I heard that your company is run by Mr. Wei's elders, and I haven't seen any of them..."

Su Xuesong was a little embarrassed: "It's me."

"You???" Cao Zihua's question mark was full of doubt.

"Yes, my sister is Mr. Wei's stepmother, so nominally I am Mr. Wei's uncle..."

Su Xuesong still felt a little embarrassed after explaining his relationship with Wei Xiao.

I am about the same age as Wei Xiao, and I am trying to act like an elder by flattering her. And it is because of my mother's family relationship, so it is not glorious to tell others about it.

If Cao Zihua hadn't insisted on asking, he would have just rowed past it.

After knowing this fact, Cao Zihua was a little overwhelmed.

Beyond the mountains there are green mountains and beyond the buildings there are buildings.

I've seen men hanging out with rich women and men having godfathers.

I just haven't seen an uncle before.

This person hugs the thigh...

Some people are born in Rome.

And Su Xuesong...was born as Roma's uncle.

Finish!
My generation status has been lowered again.

Godfather Chen Chen has to call the boy in front of him "uncle", and he has to call him "grandfather". Where can he go to seek justice?

"Mr. Su, please introduce your project." Chen Chen started working before he even entered the door.

"To be honest, we have a lot of problems with this project."

Su Xuesong did not take Chen Chen into the company, but went directly to a closed road in the industrial park.

There is a square electric minibus parked in front of me.

Just like a kid under a minibus, so cute.

Su Xuesong pointed at the car, without any pride in his eyes: "This is the core of our unmanned delivery project, the Lutong No. 1 unmanned vehicle."

Chen Chen did not respond, but just circled the car three times to the left and three times to the right to observe it.

Essentially.

This is a product of a shrunk and flattened express delivery cabinet.

Add a lithium battery to the bottom of the express cabinet and it becomes a car.

If you install a few more radars on it, it becomes an electric car.

If it can be equipped with a set of horizontal algorithms, it will become an intelligent express delivery vehicle.

When Cao Zihua heard that this thing had cost hundreds of millions of dollars over five years to make, he was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

At his alma mater.

There are similar driverless car and drone competitions every year.

Each department sends out a group of people to build cars and airplanes, and then conduct simulations of some subjects to determine a winner.

Just like the robot competition that was very popular a few years ago.

The players eliminated in this kind of competition are probably at a similar level to Lutong No. 1.

Therefore, Cao Zihua suspected that Lutong Technology was laundering money for President Wei?
"Come, let's demonstrate it to the two guests."

At the command, several people hurriedly set up the car and started it.

The roads in the park are almost completely closed, which is the mildest environment for the operation of such vehicles.

Even so.

The performance of Lutong No. 1 was also a mess.

It speeds fast in straight lines, moves slowly in curves, and changes lanes abruptly.

I almost hit a stray dog ​​that jumped out.

"Lutong is already in the design completion stage, but it is still lacking a little in terms of artificial intelligence," Su Xuesong introduced with room for improvement.

Cao Zihua couldn't help but say: "This is not about artificial intelligence, this is artificial stupidity."

Although the words are ugly.

But Su Xuesong also listened.

He is not the kind of person who is content to rely on a supportive sister for support. He still has some dreams.

otherwise.

What kind of driverless car?

It would be great if I could take the money given by SF Express and go drive with the internet celebrity.

Just when Su Xuesong was embarrassed, Chen Chen suddenly said, "It's okay, not that bad."

Cao Zihua looked unconvinced.

Is this something a small boss could say?

Is this okay?

If I were to come up with this kind of product, I would have packed up my bags and run away overnight.

Because the boss’s swearing is extremely dirty.

Chen Chen continued: "Unmanned vehicles don't have high requirements for hardware, but they have very high requirements for software."

"Just one algorithm can stump a large number of people."

"With Lutong being such a small company, it is unrealistic to tackle this problem."

Su Xuesong looked like he had met a bosom friend: "Mr. Chen is an expert in technology! The algorithm is simply too difficult."

"Well, especially for express delivery, not only do you need vehicle-road coordination, but you also have to add a freight network, which makes it even more difficult to connect."

"Yes, yes, yes! We spent two years developing the hardware, and the third year developing the freight network algorithm." Su Xuesong was full of emotion. "I told my employees at the time that the snowstorm weighed on me for two or three years, but I laughed at the snowstorm and thought that everything would be fine after the product came out."

Cao Zihua had anticipated the result, but still asked with some distress: "What's the result?"

"As soon as our product came out, Shunfeng started using drones to deliver packages, and I was devastated," Su Xuesong shed bitter tears. "The wind and snow weighed on me for two or three years, five years in total."

Comparing people will make you die, and comparing goods will make you throw them away.

Su Xuesong believes that his driverless car is the future of Shunfeng.

Unexpectedly, they skipped directly to the drone stage.

From then on, the long night fell.

Technology, there is no breakthrough in technology.

There is no bias in terms of funds.

The worse the technology, the more research and development we need to do.

The more research and development we do, the more money we lack.

The less money there is, the worse the technology becomes.

It's a complete vicious circle.

"Sometimes I wonder if I could lend out that much money at high interest rates, and the returns would be higher than what I get now."

Looking at Su Xuesong's guilty expression, Chen Chen felt somewhat relieved.

This uncle doesn't seem to be a heartless person.

At least I know that I am in trouble.

So he consoled her: "Your project can still be saved."

Cao Zihua also had good intentions: "Yes, it's not completely hopeless."

Chen Chen immediately turned around and said, "Director Cao is right. You help one first."

"????"

Cao Zihua was stunned.

I was just talking nonsense. I didn't even bring my brain with me when I went out today.

But looking at everyone's eager eyes, Cao Zihua was held back.

Don’t say no.

So he started to think a little.

"Actually, the boss is right. Autonomous driving doesn't need to rely too much on hardware."

"I mean don't rely too much on the sensors in the car."

“The real future lies in the direction of cars, roads and clouds.”

“Car+Road+Cloud”, specifically for express delivery, add cargo, then we have car, cargo, road and cloud.

“As long as the cloud is solved, your car can still be used even if it does not have its own algorithms and radars.”

After Cao Zihua finished speaking, everyone on Lu Tong's side looked as if they had just been enlightened.

Don't say...

This idea is very correct.

Previously, Lutong has been obsessed with improving the level of vehicle radar and autonomous driving, and the cost has been rising rapidly.

The most exaggerated time was when the cost of a prototype car was close to that of Porsche.

Su Xuesong didn't even dare to disclose the progress to Shunfeng.

Would someone use a Porsche to deliver packages?
Isn't that crazy?

Cao Zihua’s idea may be the ultimate solution in this regard.

Chen Chen glanced at Lao Cao and nodded with satisfaction: "Let me add one more thing to Lao Cao. He didn't say that hardware is not important at all. Your company can focus on the layout of vehicle-road-cloud. I can help you find a solution for the hardware."

"Really?" Su Xuesong's eyes were full of longing.

"I happen to have plans in this area. In Linyang, there are serious science and technology companies. You can join forces."

Cao Zihua raised his head and discussed the industry in Linyang.

I couldn't think of a factory related to science and technology no matter how hard I tried.

Are you talking about the tractor factory, boss?

But Su Xuesong didn't know about this situation. All he thought about was industrial integration.

While I focus on algorithms and the cloud, Chen Chen comes to solve the hardware and vehicle problems. It's a match made in heaven.

"Okay! Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

Cao Zihua pretended for Chen Chen again: "What's the use of calling him Mr. Chen? We are all family."

With this successful start, subsequent inspections became extremely harmonious.

Su Xuesong did not act like an elder, but lowered his posture and spoke to Cao Zihua and Chen Chen in accordance with their positions throughout.

Until the business dinner in the evening, he insisted on becoming sworn brothers with Chen Chen and strengthening their relationship, and no one could stop him.
