"Mr. Jiang, hello."

"Hello, Manager Dong."

Jiang Lixing and Dong Qi exchanged business cards, and they made an appointment that Jiang Lixing would send a team to Shenzhen Deep Sea Company for negotiations early tomorrow morning.

"It's rare for Mr. Jiang to come to the deep sea. I'll treat you to seafood tonight."

After sending Dong Qi away, Hu Yang and Jiang Lixing began to talk about the world. Although Jiang Lixing came from a technical background, he was not as taciturn as ordinary technical geeks. He was not only well-informed, but also quite funny.

.

"Okay, since you, a rich man, are treating me to a treat, I won't be polite to you. I will definitely go there. Then I'll go back and prepare for tomorrow's negotiations. We'll see you in the evening."

Jiang Lixing stood up and said goodbye. He wanted to go back to discuss some things with his team members.

"Assistant Wu, ask Ajie to prepare the car. I'm going to go check out Ark Computer."

Ark Computer's Chang Sheng often takes the initiative to contact Hu Yang, but Hu Yang is never free and has not been to Ark Computer for a long time.

This morning, Chang Sheng called again, saying that the company was about to launch the latest laptop computer, and he wanted to invite Hu Yang to come and take a look. Hu Yang couldn't resist, so she agreed to him.

It was still early for dinner in the evening, so Hu Yang asked Wu Xinhui to notify Chang Sheng, who left the investment building with a large group of assistants, secretaries and security personnel.

"Mr. Hu, you are welcome to come to the company for inspection. Let's go to the conference room first and let me report to you on the company's recent production and operation status, okay?"

Since Chang Sheng introduced Hu Yang's investment, Ark Computer led by him has gradually integrated into the "Huijia system".

This is the thing he is most proud of from starting his business to now.

Capital, technology, and talent are all indispensable for the development of an enterprise. And capital is the cornerstone of everything. Without Yang Hu’s capital injection, Ark Computer would still be a little-known brand.

Hu Yang smiled and nodded, then walked into the conference room with Wu Xinhui and Mi Qi.

"Mr. Hu, let's take a look at the introduction of the new product first, and then go to the R&D department to look at the prototype later. Xiaoliang, turn on the projector."

After everyone took their seats, Chang Sheng asked the company's employees to turn on the projector on the wall.

Hu Yang and others turned their attention to the screen, and soon a video produced by the company began to play.

Hu Yang watched this video absent-mindedly. To be honest, the shooting quality was very good. However, this latest laptop uses high-end chips produced by Intel, so the price is a bit expensive. Compared with similar products on the market

Compared with other products, except for the slightly higher price/performance ratio, there are no outstanding highlights.

"Mr. Hu, do you think our new product is not very eye-catching? Don't worry, listen to me explain slowly. The most important reason why we have high hopes for this laptop is the localization rate of its components.

Very high.

For example, the motherboard and graphics card are independently developed by us, and all technical parameters have reached the international advanced level. The memory is purchased from Charming Semiconductor, which is a new DRAM product that has just been put on the market. The display device is produced by Oriental Technology

The latest generation display screen, power supply and cooling system are also purchased from domestic manufacturers..."

Chang Sheng stood in front of the big screen and talked.

Hu Yang did not expect that except for the CPU, almost most of Changsheng's components were made from domestic products.

"Mr. Chang, what you hear is what you hear and what you see is belief. In this case, you can show us the prototype and experience it for yourself."

Supporting each other with domestic manufacturers is something that Populus euphratica has been strongly advocating. However, there is a premise for this, that is, it cannot be at the expense of product quality.

You can tell whether something is good or not as soon as you use it, so Hu Yang asked Chang Sheng to take him to see it with his own eyes.

Chang Sheng had long expected that Hu Yang would do this. He immediately agreed and took Hu Yang and others to the R&D department.

"Mr. Hu, this is the product!"

Changsheng asked people to set up a prototype. From the perspective of Populus euphratica, the appearance design of this laptop is very good.

After the power is turned on, the laptop boots up quite quickly.

Hu Yang sat down and operated it casually for a while, feeling that the performance in all aspects was much better than he expected.

"This new product is good. If the cost can be reduced further and the market price is lower, I think it will still be very competitive."

Hu Yang gave him a positive review on the spot, and bursts of cheers erupted from the scene.

"Thank you, Mr. Hu, for your encouragement. We will continue to work hard. Next, will we go to other departments to have a look? Or, can I report the company's financial status to Mr. Hu?"

Chang Sheng looked at Populus euphratica in a good mood and asked cautiously.

"Mr. Chang, we don't need to do anything formalistic between us, right? Let's go directly back to the conference room. I'd like to see what kind of medicine you sell in your gourd."

Hu Yang glanced at Chang Sheng and couldn't help but smile. Looking at him like this, something must have happened, most likely related to funds.

"Oh, let's go to the conference room and talk about it."

Chang Sheng showed a humble smile and became more and more respectful when facing Populus euphratica.

Hu Yang felt that this guy Chang Sheng was the thickest-skinned among all the people he knew. Moreover, if you gave him a ladder, he would dare to go up to the sky to pick the stars for you.

"Tell me, Mr. Chang, has the company encountered any difficulties?"

Hu Yang returned to the conference room and sat down again. He looked at Chang Sheng and asked seriously.

Chang Sheng also put away the slightly exaggerated expression on his face and said with a wry smile:

"Mr. Hu, the company independently develops motherboards, graphics cards and system integration optimization, especially investing a lot of money in the research and development of new products. However, our market share is not high, which results in tight cash flow.

Look, can you give us some funds from Hi-tech Venture Capital, preferably in the form of corporate bonds, even if the interest is slightly higher?"

Ark Computer is in a stage of high investment and low output. It is not easy for a brand to find a correct positioning in the market. This requires exploration in long-term business activities and the continuous launch of new products suitable for the market.

Changsheng, like Gao Mingkang, is willing to invest in technology research and development. However, when it has not yet developed, R&D expenses remain high, which can sometimes bring down a company.

Ark Computer entered the industry relatively late. After Chang Sheng started his business, he had to face various multinational giants, as well as domestic giants like Ideal Computer.

To be able to develop to this day, I have to say that Chang Sheng still has considerable ability and courage.

"Mr. Chang, the company needs financing, I understand and support it. How much capital do you need?"

Before Hu Yang came, he guessed that Chang Sheng would mention the issue of funding. He knew that the development of Ark Computer had just encountered a bottleneck.

His idea can be considered if the amount is less than 5 billion yuan. If it exceeds 5 billion yuan, it is out of the question.

"So, Mr. Hu, can you help us solve the problem of 1 billion yuan of funds?"

Chang Sheng's throat rolled a few times, and for a while he struggled to spit out a number from his mouth.

"One billion yuan?"

Hu Yang immediately laughed. For Ark Computer, although 1 billion yuan is a lot, it cannot solve the fundamental problem.

"Ahem, Mr. Hu, a little less is fine. But if it's less than 500 million yuan, it won't have much effect on the company's current financial difficulties."

Chang Sheng understood what Hu Yang meant wrongly, and had no choice but to reduce the amount of financing he needed.

"Mr. Chang, that's not what I mean. What I actually want to say is that the financing amount of Ark Computer can be larger. In this way, you can go back and write a financing application to the Hi-tech Venture Capital Fund in the form of corporate bonds as you said.

.As for the total amount of funds, let’s apply for 5 billion yuan.”

Hu Yang feels that the figure of 5 billion yuan is just right. If it is too little, it will not solve the problem. If it is too much, it will cause a heavy interest burden on the company.

Chang Sheng was overjoyed when he heard Hu Yang's statement. The financing amount has greatly exceeded his expectations. With this funding, Ark Computer will no longer have to worry about funds in about a year or two.

"Mr. Hu, you instantly showed us a bright future. I'm so excited that I don't know what to say..."

Chang Sheng showed his true feelings this time, so he seemed a little incoherent.

"Your goal has been achieved, and I also understand the situation on your side. Is it time to end today's activities? Mr. Chang, let me take the first step. Remember to make a financing plan as soon as possible."

Hu Yang stood up and left, but Chang Sheng, who had reacted, quickly grabbed him.

"Mr. Hu, you have to have a meal before leaving, right? It's not troublesome."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chang, I have an appointment tonight. Otherwise, Mr. Jiang from Huaxin and I will have dinner together tonight, and you can come too."

Hu Yang estimated that there should be common topics between Jiang Lixing and Chang Sheng. In addition, he also wanted to connect people, mainly because he wanted to see if Huaxin and Ark Computer could have further cooperation in the future.

"Okay, I'll have a meal with Mr. Hu tonight. But it's almost five o'clock now, why don't you take a rest and we can go to a restaurant together later."

Chang Sheng was quite open-minded in front of Hu Yang. He looked at his watch and then made a suggestion to Hu Yang.

"That's okay. I'll sit there for a while. When the time is almost up, we can go together."

Hu Yang had nothing to hesitate about. After agreeing to Chang Sheng, he sat down again.

6:30 pm.

Hu Yang and Chang Sheng arrived at a private room on the second floor of this seafood restaurant together. When they pushed the door open and walked in, Jiang Lixing was already sitting in the room waiting.

After a few people sat down, Hu Yang told the waiter to serve the food.

Today's dishes were ordered when Wu Xinhui called to reserve a private room.

By the time the wine had passed three rounds and the dishes had gone through five flavors, the owner of Populus euphratica had been left out in the cold. Chang Sheng and Jiang Lixing were chatting animatedly.

"Hey, these two guys are still technical geeks at heart, but they are usually better at pretending. After these few glasses of wine, their true colors were immediately revealed."
Chapter completed!
