Chapter 169 I Deserve to Be Rich
Luo Yang rested at home for a whole day.
Fei Mingde, an old acquaintance of the Modou Talent Recruitment Company, called him and told him that they had found a suitable candidate for management.
To this end, he made a special trip to Minhang the next day to interview the other party.
This middle-aged man named Shang Guozheng is 45 years old this year. He was originally the director of a medium-sized garment factory in Zhejiang Province.
This factory originally received foreign trade orders, with its main business coming from Europe and the United States.
Unfortunately, the boss took out a loan to expand production in the first half of 08, but good times did not come and the subprime mortgage crisis hit at the end of the year.
A storm sweeping the world has directly affected foreign trade orders.
To make matters worse, during the period from 09 to 10, the US dollar triggered the European debt crisis in order to recover its losses, which directly led to a sharp drop in business in Europe.
The factory couldn't survive the first half of this year and had to go bankrupt.
Shang Guozheng was unemployed and happened to meet Luo Yang who was recruiting. Yingcai Liepin acted as a matchmaker and the two parties hit it off immediately.
After agreeing on the terms, Shang Guozheng followed Luo Yang to Yang City that afternoon.
It turns out that the so-called JK and Hanfu mentioned by the boss Luo Yang are still just ideas. Currently, Qingqing Garment Factory No. 2 only produces sexy lingerie!
Shang Guozheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Fortunately, Luo Yang promptly brought out the sales and growing momentum of Midnight Phantom, which helped Shang Guo to get some relief.
By the end of June, the daily sales of the two stores on Taobao had reached nearly 6. Even if Luo Yang kept 40% of the profit for Midnight Phantom, the garment factory's monthly sales revenue exceeded 15 million, and the gross profit reached 1000 million.
With such an income, and looking at the huge empty factory area, he felt excited with Luo Yang's firm support.
Wouldn’t it be more fulfilling to draw on a blank piece of paper?
With Shang Guozheng joining, Luo Yang can temporarily let go of the clothing business and only need to provide style ideas and grasp the general direction.
This summer is destined to be busy.
After settling Shang Guozheng down, before he had time to catch his breath, he received a call from Shanghai, informing him that the Kunpeng 1 unmanned helicopter had been assembled and they were waiting for him to come and announce the start of the first test flight.
Luo Yang immediately called Liu Jun and drove to Minhang overnight.
In fact, a series of preparatory work had already started in early July.
For example, during the assembly of Kunpeng 1, some members of the R&D team had already visited several test flight locations, even the nearby Baimaoling in Anhui Province.
In the end, they did not choose a mountainous area with complex terrain, but instead located it in Jinshan, a flat land not far from the sea.
"Mr. Luo, we have customized two Kunpeng unmanned helicopters this time, named Kunpeng 1 and Kunpeng 2."
The chief technical officer of this test flight was Wang Liqiang. After arriving at the test flight site, he began to introduce the situation to Luo Yang. The test flight team members in the distance were also busy in an orderly manner. Some of them lifted the Kunpeng 1 unmanned helicopter from the rented pickup truck, and some people unloaded other tools.
"Is this our Kunpeng 1?"
After seeing the prototype, Luo Yang couldn't help but widen his eyes.
It’s not that it’s strange, but I think it’s too similar to DJI’s Everest 1.
"Mr. Luo, successful products always end up in the same place, there's nothing strange about that."
Wang Liqiang said without blinking, "Besides, our Kunpeng flight control system was originally borrowed from DJI, so this form of unmanned helicopter can best verify our various indicators."
"Okay, you guys try it first."
Luo Yang moved his feet and walked to Song Wan's side.
"There is a department in our company that must be established as soon as possible."
"?"
Based on the principles of economy and efficiency, Song Wan set up an extremely simple company framework in the early stage, and all redundant functional department personnel were saved as much as possible.
Now her boss Luo Yang actually wants her to recruit people as soon as possible?
She frowned and wanted to state her point of view and persuade Luo Yang not to expand blindly.
“The legal department that applies for patents and fights patent lawsuits can’t wait any longer.”
Luo Yang's eyes were fixed on the test flight site. He didn't see Song Wan's expression. He continued quickly, "From the appearance to the flight control system, everything is copied from DJI. Even Kazakh sheep can't stand being fleeced like this."
"Like?"
"I bought two DJI Everest-1 unmanned helicopters, but unfortunately they were dismantled."
Luo Yang turned around and looked at Song Wan, and after gesturing for a while, he said, "At least 80% similarity!"
"I think Mr. Luo is quite comprehensive in his considerations." Song Wan blinked and said sincerely, "After we go back this time, we will make the establishment of the legal department our top priority."
"Fortunately, our ultimate goal is not this style."
Luo Yang thought for a moment and said, "Let me know when it's done. I have some patent drawings of the appearance. The sooner you apply, the better!"
"Mr. Luo also knows how to design industrial product appearance?"
"Have you ever noticed the most beautiful electric bikes on the streets?"
"I haven't noticed this. Could it be designed by you, Mr. Luo?"
"Well, I designed it, and the idea was sold for 75."
A slight cheer came from an open space not far away, and the Kunpeng 1 unmanned helicopter had already begun to fly shakily.
Luo Yang pointed over there and said, "It was all used in the initial start-up of the Kunpeng UAV project."
After he finished speaking, he looked up, staring at the sky without blinking, his mind also swaying with the Kunpeng 1 flying into the sky.
The verification operation lasted for more than three hours, flying on and off. Due to the limited battery life and the gradually darkening sky, the test flight was ended.
We wanted to celebrate in the evening, but those tech geeks decided to work overtime.
Because we encountered quite a few problems during today's test flight. Although they were not serious, we still need to find out the causes one by one.
Subsequent targeted improvements will take time, so who has the time to have a celebratory drink?
Even Liu Jun refused to go back to the hotel. After taking a bite of his lunch box, he willingly followed in to help in the operation room.
Passion based on extreme love is the lasting source of motivation.
After having dinner with Song Wan near the Science and Technology Park, Luo Yang returned to the hotel, took a shower, sat in the living room outside the suite, turned on the computer, and browsed the news events as usual.
He needs to constantly absorb fragments of information from the outside world in order to awaken the useful knowledge sleeping deep in his memory.
“Shit, the iPhone 4 has been released for over a month?”
When Luo Yang saw the information on the web page, he couldn't help but exclaim.
After coming to his senses, he quickly searched for relevant information and found out that as early as 6 . on June 8, Jobs held the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference at the Moscone West Convention Center in the United States and announced the iPhone 1 at the conference.
Although before his rebirth, he despised the company.
But now, at this moment, he had to admit that Steve Jobs had ushered in an era, the era of smartphones.
For 2010, the iPhone 4 was simply too good to be true.
Luo Yang silently looked at the Nokia phone on the side, then looked at the picture of the iPhone 4, and couldn't help but sigh: "The appearance alone is not on the same level, there is really no comparison."
No matter how hard everyone tried to imagine, two or three years after the birth of iPhone 4, who could have predicted that Nokia, the giant that dominated one-third of the global mobile phone market, would collapse?
"Is the Hong Kong version available now?"
"I don't know when the product will be available in China. Will it start selling in September or October?"
“I remember that the iPhone 4 has a nickname in the country called the Kidney Machine?”
A lot of complicated information impacted Luo Yang's memory, and many things began to emerge little by little to correspond to it.
After thinking about it for a while, he collected his thoughts and turned his attention back to the computer screen.
After browsing the web for several minutes and reading some online comments, he was suddenly stunned.
Then he slapped his head hard.
“I almost missed something important!”
Although it was painful, Luo Yang still grinned happily and said to himself: "The selfie stick should be able to work, right?"
After closing the webpage, he found the proposed drawings of his original design in the folder on his computer desktop.
Now, there are many technical geeks in Kunpeng Technology, and they also have simple design drawings and concepts. Combining the two, it should not be difficult to make a sample, right?
And there is something even more coincidental.
Today, because of the Kunpeng 1 incident, I asked Song Wan to quickly set up a legal department.
Once the selfie stick is invented, it’s time to start applying for a patent!
“Is there a divine will in the dark?”
Luo Yang raised his head proudly and laughed: "I deserve to be rich."
Robbery as usual, give me your monthly ticket!
