Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 425 The Boatman’s Ambition
At noon, Zhou Rui took Gan Yuan to the hotel. Mr. Ren and others, who had come all the way, were still in Shanghai.

It was too late yesterday and I had no chance. I have to make up for a meal today. This is the way to treat guests.

But when Zhou Rui didn't come in the morning, these people had already started chatting.

Speaking of circles and friends, they spread out one after another.

When everyone is excellent and well-educated, it doesn't seem surprising that they can chat with each other.

When Zhou Rui arrived, Mr. Ren and Lin Guangrong were chatting happily, while Wang Chuanfu and Hu Hou were sitting together drinking tea.

In the corner, the eldest daughter Ren and Zhang Richeng met each other very late.

I feel that they are quite independent whether Zhou Rui will come or not.

Especially Ms. Meng and Zhang Richeng, every time they meet, they feel like they have met very late. If it weren't for the different genders, they would have fallen asleep.

Zhang Richeng has his own residence in Shanghai, but he still came over early in the morning and continued yesterday's topic with Ms. Meng.

Ren Laoze and Lin Guangrong were discussing seniority in the capital ranking process. The two discovered that in the 80s, they both worked in the same chemical factory. It was just a few years apart and they had never met each other, but the old factory director was the same person.

Zhou Rui found it a bit interesting, but he didn't feel nervous about being pried into the circle. It was also a good thing that his friends could chat with each other.

No one is anyone's accessory, and friendship is not a property.

As long as everyone is indispensable, there is no question of who can pry whom. If you are easily pried off, it simply means that you are redundant!
When Mr. Ren saw Zhou Rui, he smiled and said, "Xiao Zhou, how were the sales figures last night?"

"It's not bad, but I don't have enough stock. I have to go back to Shencheng to help me arrange it."

Wang Chuanfu turned around and said, "Don't worry, I just explained it."

Zhou Rui called them to the restaurant one by one and thanked everyone again for coming to support them.

According to Mr. Ren's character, he would definitely ask for two drinks if he had an excuse.

During this period, Gan Yuan became more and more understanding of the ways of the world. When she saw Mr. Ren drinking by himself, she took the initiative to stand up and said: "We, Mr. Zhou, are driving today and cannot drink. I will propose a toast to you on his behalf."

Mr. Ren drank a glass with a smile and said: "I know how to drink, but don't force it, little girl, we won't talk about this."

Zhou Rui also pushed Gan Yuan back to her seat and said, "Mr. Ren is drinking and playing, just like a young man eating and drinking milk tea. It's okay!"

Mr. Ren praised: "Mr. Zhou! Your work partner is also very good. Yesterday I saw her managing the whole scene. She has a flexible mind, high resistance to pressure, and she also handles things calmly and has the demeanor of a general! It is rare among young people! "

Gan Yuan was said to be embarrassed, and her thin legs in stockings were twisted together under the table.

Zhou Rui smiled and said: "Indeed, without Gan Yuan, I would not want to make the company so complicated."

After the meal was finished, some of the people wanted to leave Shanghai, while others had their own arrangements and dispersed.

Only one person remained, and that was Wang Chuanfu.

Zhou Rui has another task today, which is to introduce someone to Wang Chuanfu.

Yang Rubin.

Yang Rubin was also at the press conference last night and saw the "Water God" and the "Farmer God". I think he will have an updated understanding of Zhou Rui's speed.

As for the production of military drones, Yang Rubin has always hoped that enterprises within the military industry system would be responsible for it.

But Zhou Rui had a little different idea.

Because Zhou Rui had already given a preliminary design plan and left it to Yang Rubin to calculate the cost.

As a result, the cost given by the military industry system was more than twice that of BYAT.

This is not to say that the military industry is struggling with final assembly. The cost of an industrial product can be said to be in all aspects. For example, BYAT has more mature workers, a higher yield rate, a more matched and advanced production line, and a more flexible and complete supply chain. .Even other people's electricity bills may be cheaper.

Under this circumstance, Zhou Rui felt that drones, which were originally pursuing "cheap consumables", did not need to be made in the military industry system.

The extra money is the cost, not the profit of his "Furui", which will directly affect the number of final assembly orders.

This time, Yang Rubin and Wang Chuanfu happened to be in Shanghai, and Zhou Rui thought they could sit down and communicate.

Zhou Rui took Wang Chuanfu directly to the "Innovation Space", where the confidentiality measures were better.

On the way, Wang Chuanfu said: "Mr. Zhou, what is the personality of Mr. Yang, the general?"

For some reason, he attached great importance to this meeting.

Zhou Rui said while driving: "Character? It's nothing. Treat people with sincerity?"

When the car returned to the smart space, Yang Rubin had just arrived and waved: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Wang!"

The two of them had already become familiar with each other at the press conference yesterday.

Wang Chuanfu quickly stepped forward to shake hands to show respect.

The three of them entered the conference room together and chatted for a while. After chatting about last night's press conference and sales situation, Zhou Rui said:
"As for military drones, the secret is not in the structure, but in the algorithm and control. The lower the cost and the greater the number, the more obvious the advantages."

"I think the software and hardware can be separated, and the main OEM part of the drone can be handed over to a mature company like BYD, which is cheap and fast. The input and management of the 'enlightened algorithm', as well as the implementation of the weapon system and mobile platform It will be completed by the main body under the general assembly and has nothing to do with BYD. Brother Yang, do you think this is okay?"

“It takes into account both confidentiality and cost.”

This is what Zhou Rui currently thinks is the best plan.

Only an OEM king like BYAT can achieve the best price and output.

Yang Rubin hesitated: "The key is the stability of private enterprises, which makes us more worried."

The so-called stability is a very vague concept. For example, the survival and assembly of military industrial units can be controlled. If you say you can survive, you can continue to live. If you say you are abolished, it will be abolished immediately.

As for private enterprises, what do you say if they fail?Five or ten years later, the company is gone. Wouldn’t all the previous accumulation have been in vain?

Moreover, military-industrial enterprises are also forced to work overtime, and all other plans have to be put to the back. They also have to build what they need, while private enterprises need to arrange orders and calculate costs.
This is something that the military industry system is more concerned about.

Wang Chuanfu suddenly said: "Mr. Yang, what if we are willing to invest in a factory specifically for this purpose."

Even Zhou Rui was a little surprised now.

We haven't figured out the order quantity yet, so you want to open a separate factory?
Moreover, when it comes to drone manufacturing, to put it bluntly, the right to speak does not lie with BYD, and the order was placed with Zhou Rui instead of BYD.

It's one thing to make money with the power you already have, but it's completely unnecessary for BYAT to specialize in production for this purpose.

"We can set up a new factory in Shenzhen together, and Furui Technology can also take a stake, specifically to meet military orders. The management can be strictly in accordance with the standards of military industrial enterprises."

After listening for a long time, Zhou Rui roughly understood Wang Chuanfu's thinking.

Brother Boatman wants to get on the assembly line.
No wonder, I can still get a license and go back.

For him, this is indeed a good opportunity, and he also owes Zhou Rui a favor.

The manufacturing industry is not like the financial industry. The more deeply it is tied to the ground beneath its feet, the more stable and long-lasting it will be.

　It's a bit slow, sorry.

　　I had a bad cold today. I used up a whole pack of tissue paper in one day. My eyes are crying all the time. I can’t see the screen clearly. It’s so uncomfortable.
