My Age of Investment
Chapter 803: Sincere and love
Chapter 803 Sincere and Love
"Are you an investor?"
Wang Tao stared at Xia Jingxing for a second time, then laughed, "You're making fun of me. See if you are younger than me, have you graduated from college?"
Xia Jingxing is indeed younger than Wang Tao. He was born in 1984, while Wang Tao was born in 80 years.
"Oh, you said on the Internet last time, you are a Stanford student."
When talking about the three words Stanford, Wang Tao's eyes were faintly envy, this is the college he once dreamed of.
The reason why he graduated with a bachelor’s degree at the age of 25 is because when he was 21, when he was a junior in the Department of Electronics at East China Normal University, he chose to drop out, and instead applied for admission to his favorite world-renowned universities such as Stanford and MIT. .
However, his grades are only above average, not very good. After applying for top-ranking schools, he was rejected one after another, so he chose the Department of Electronic Engineering, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
"If I don't drop out, I will graduate this year."
Xia Jingxing’s understatement made Wang Taolei half dead, his eyes widening, "You dropped out of Stanford?"
Then he raised his thumbs up, "Awesome!"
Xia Jingxing smiled, “I have dropped out of school for several years. I came out of society early and barely gained a reputation in the arena.”
At this point, Wang Tao still didn't recognize Xia Jingxing, because this guy had never asked Xia Jingxing's name.
"Is it fun to invest? Can I get in touch with many outstanding entrepreneurs?"
Xia Jingxing looked at Wang Tao seriously, and shook his head, "It's not fun at all, there are too many fools."
Wang Tao laughed, "You are still as funny and humorous as you are on the Internet."
Xia Jingxing smiled and said: "I came here today just to see your company, because I think you are a person who is obsessed or obsessed with drone technology. If there is a chance, I want to support your drone research and development. plan."
"Do you support me?"
Wang Tao waved his hand, “No, we don’t lack funds now.”
Although Xia Jingxing had a hunch that Wang Tao would refuse, he did not expect that he would be so direct that he would not even inquire about the price.
"You don’t want to know how much DJI is worth in my mind?"
Wang Tao shook his head, “It’s not a matter of money. I want to control the development direction of the company by myself, and I don’t want other people to interfere with me.”
"Investors will not interfere with you too much, have you known VC?"
Wang Tao hesitated for a while, and after a while, he said firmly: “For me, this is my lifelong career, but for you, it’s just a business.”
Xia Jingxing smiled and started playing philosophy for me.
"you do not believe?"
Wang Tao glanced at Xia Jingxing, and then told the latter how he became attached to the drone.
"I remember when I was in elementary school, I read a comic book "Grandpa Brainstorming", which was painted with a red helicopter, telling the story of a red helicopter expedition.
I was less than 10 years old at the time and was deeply attracted by the story and the airplane. I started to imagine the sky full of imagination, hoping that one day I could build an identical helicopter and travel with it. "
Speaking of this, Wang Tao showed a childlike smile on his face, “When I was 16 years old, because of my good exam results, my father rewarded me with a remote control helicopter that I had longed for for a long time.
Although the plane was broken by me a long time ago, it completely opened the door to aviation for me.
When I was studying at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, in order to realize my aviation dream, I signed up for two robot competitions and won the championship in Hong Kong and tied for third place in the Asia-Pacific region.
During competition training, I also broke several airplane models, and the rotating propeller blades left a scar on my hand. "
Speaking of this, Wang Tao raised his left hand and showed Xia Jingxing a look.
Sure enough, there was a deep-marked scar on the back of Wang Tao's hand. You can imagine the **** scene of the skin and flesh at the time.
"Even if DJI fails in the end, and I find a job to support my family, I will still stick to my aviation dream."
Wang Tao looked at Xia Jingxing, smiled and said, "You should understand how deeply I am for drones, right?"
Xia Jingxing nodded, "To be honest, when I was in junior high school, my dad also bought me a model airplane..."
Wang Tao listened carefully to Xia Jingxing’s story. He did not expect that Xia Jingxing also had an aviation dream.
However, he did not doubt what Xia Jingxing said, because the other party really bought a model airplane he assembled.
If you don’t really like drones, who would buy them to play with?
Xia Jingxing said lightly: "Back to my dad, he is the principal of a college in our hometown of Rongcheng. He really wants to open a drone major in the school..."
"Professional drone?"
Wang Tao was shocked. He thought he was in the forefront of the country. He did not expect that someone was more radical than him and wanted to set up a drone major in colleges and universities.
At this moment, he suddenly had an impulse in his heart, he wanted to run to Rongcheng to meet with the father of the netizen in front of him and have a conversation.
Xia Jingxing nodded without explaining too much.
In fact, the drone profession is still in his father's planning book. Now, let alone the drone industry in China, there are not even a few private companies that manufacture drones, or there is no one, all called model aircraft companies.
Therefore, his dad dare not set up projects indiscriminately. Education is a lifelong matter for the child and must be treated with caution.
"Do you understand now? With the development of the times and the progress of science and technology, I believe that drones will inevitably enter thousands of households and will no longer be a niche collection of model aircraft enthusiasts."
Xia Jingxing stared at Wang Tao and said with a serious expression: “Once drones are promoted on a large scale, an industry will surely be formed, and then huge amounts of money will flow into this industry.
You want to make it a career, others want to make it a business.
I’m an investor, and I understand the logic of capital flow. They only flow to those virgin land that has not been cultivated, because it is called a low-value land. "
Xia Jingxing said so much, and coupled with the shock brought by the drone profession, Wang Tao, who was originally carefree, suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
He doesn't understand finance, but he knows that big companies and big capitals are thinking about the previous industry, and there will be drastic changes. However, whether his ideal country, Dajiang, can withstand the impact is a big question mark.
"Some things are not something you can avoid if you want to avoid them. Only by making yourself stronger can you truly protect the things you want to protect."
Wang Tao was still giving Xia Jingxing a philosophy class, but he was immediately taken a lesson in reverse.
"Okay, I'm leaving now!"
Before Wang Tao could react, Xia Jingxing suddenly stood up and said.
This once again gave Wang Tao a critical strike, who hadn’t recovered yet. Why did he leave? Not finished yet!
"Sit down for a while, I want to hear your thoughts on the future development of drones."
Wang Tao is actually a very proud person in his heart, but Xia Jingxing's depiction of the future is so terrifying, as if DJI will be crushed by the torrent of the times in the next moment, which shakes his thoughts a little.
At this moment, he wants to consult with his mentor Li Zexiang and listen to the other party’s opinions.
"Don’t say anything extra, the key is to understand yourself, what do you want to gain through drones? Fame? Wealth? Ideal?"
Xia Jingxing smiled faintly, “Only when you want to understand this, will you understand what you should do instead of drifting with the flow.”
The three employees discussed with Liu Xiaoduo also stopped the discussion at this time, all of them stared at Xia Jingxing intently, feeling that they made sense.
They joined DJI in a daze, and then they screwed the screws secretly in this small warehouse. They screwed the screws day after day, and their lives were lost.
Wang Tao is also at a loss. He just wants to become a small company to support his family while realizing his ideals. Is this a problem? Is weakness the original sin?
"Big Flower, put down other people's plane and go."
Xia Jingxing called Liu Xiaoduo, who was still spinning the propeller, and opened the warehouse door under the gaze of all the members of DJI, that is, four people.
As soon as the door opened, Xia Jingxing found a few sneaky people standing outside. He and Liu Xiaoduo glanced at these people and left quickly.
Several magazine employees saw Xia Jingxing’s face clearly this time, and there was a high probability that this was the richest man.
But no one dared to step forward. When you saw Ma Yun, did you dare to step forward and pat Mr. Ma on the shoulder, or block Mr. Ma’s way?
Stunned by Xia Jingxing's handsome appearance, a few people only dared to watch Xia Jingxing and two go away.
and others are all gone, the few people recovered, and then complained to each other.
"I think it is President Xia 80%. Compared with the photos I just searched on the Internet, even the hairstyle is exactly the same."
"Then you didn't go to say hello just now?"
"When you meet a stranger on the road, will you say hello?"
"The problem is that we know Mr. Xia and we are called by name."
"Does that person know you?"
……
Several magazine employees fought each other for a while, laughing at each other's timidity.
Finally, to find out, they walked into the warehouse.
"Xiao Wang, was that handsome guy your friend just now?" someone asked.
Wang Tao was confused, "Forget it, what's the matter?"
"Oh, nothing, what's his name?"
"How do I know his name?"
Wang Tao replied confidently, and then he patted his head, fucking, talking for so long, he didn't even know what they called.
Several magazine employees shook their heads and sighed. They were really stupid nephews of the boss, so they only played airplanes.
"Is he called Xia Jingxing?" Someone is unwilling to ask, and must understand the question in his mind.
"I do not know!"
Wang Tao was very irritable, and his tone of answer became a little impatient.
"What did he ask you for?" someone continued to ask.
"I want to invest in our company." Wang Tao replied casually.
"Fuck, you agree?"
"Refused."
Wang Tao’s answer left a group of people speechless.
There was nothing wrong with it. A group of people stayed in the warehouse and began to ask questions, and at the same time shared some information they knew with Wang Tao.
After a while, a group of people are stupid.
"Stanford dropped out of school, the investor, and his hometown of Rongcheng, it was Xia Jingxing, and he didn't run away."
Some magazine staff sighed. If you know that it is Xia Jingxing, you should rush up and shout "Hello, Mr. Xia" if you say anything. In case the other party is interested in us, it is not impossible to invest in an Internet magazine.
The opportunity to change the fate of a lifetime was so regretfully missed.
After understanding the truth, Wang Tao was also very surprised. He had heard of Xia Jingxing, but he really did not connect his netizens with the richest man.
You can meet the richest man if you go to the forum and sell an airplane model. This luck is comparable to the netizens who talked about horse fork bugs with Xiao Ma.
A group of people discussed in the warehouse.
On the other side, Xia Jingxing and Liu Xiaoduo were already in the car.
"Mr. Xia, do you want to invest in DJI?" Liu Xiaoduo suddenly turned away from the co-pilot and asked.
Xia Jingxing sat in the back row, looking at the scenery passing by the window, and exhaled for a long time: "I'm not sure, which step did he do right?"
"What did you say?" Liu Xiaoduo asked.
Xia Jingxing did not answer. He was thinking that with Wang Tao’s current virtues, no one could predict that he would become a top entrepreneur in the future. He can only say that his growth potential is really strong.
The early employees of DJI also commented: Wang Tao’s personal growth is very obvious. From the beginning, he got along with a group of people bluntly, and then he easily drifted among the groups.
Wang Tao’s greatest strength is that he knows how to make this thing, and knows how to use resources to keep doing the right thing.
sounds quite mysterious, in fact, he is an excellent CTO, who is very good at leading the team in research and development, has technical foresight, can judge the right direction, and most importantly persist.
The sincere love for an industry can really do miracles vigorously.
