Although Zheng Youyuan runs an electronics factory, he is not a front-line R&D person and has only a vague understanding of technology. Therefore, what he does is actually the simplest business and is not a scientific research enterprise.

This is easy to understand. Just like the Lenovo company, although it claims to be a technology company, it is actually engaged in processing trade. Although it makes a lot of money, its technological content is completely negligible.

There were many companies of this kind in the 1970s and 1980s, because there was not much in Xia State, but the labor force with basic education was the largest. Coupled with the low prices, human resources were quite cheap, and the land was vast and there were all kinds of natural resources.

The total amount of resources is also very large, so all the things that have low technical content and are in high demand are produced in the Xia Kingdom.

This is why Xia Guo later proudly claimed to be the "world's factory", but in the final analysis, it was just a job.

But now, Lu Yiming has drawn a big pie for Zheng Youyuan, telling him that he can climb up from the lower reaches of the industry. How can the latter not be excited?

Lu Yiming showed Zheng Youyuan an appearance rendering, explained how to use this thing again, and then said to Zheng Youyuan: "How about it? Think about it, with this thing, in the future, carrying information will be as big as your thumb

One thing can hold the entire library. The optical drive can also be eliminated directly. How troublesome is it to burn optical discs? Moreover, the thing is so fragile that it will break if you don't pay attention when it is put in a briefcase."

Although Lu Yiming's words were clear and logical, Zheng Youyuan was still a little skeptical: "This thing is so powerful, can you really produce it?"

Lu Yiming said: "To be honest, I have applied for appearance patents and technology patents, and can enter mass production at any time."

Although Lu Yiming is not engaged in technology research and development, he has heard of many versions of the so-called USB disk dispute.

In 1998, a man named Deng Guoshun discovered during several business trips that the floppy disk he brought with him was accidentally damaged, making the stored data unreadable. He was thinking at the time if there was a new kind of

What products can replace floppy disks?

By chance in 1999, he met Cheng Xiaohua, a fellow from Hunan Province, in Singapore. The two hit it off and talked about a topic of common interest: the entire computer, from the main version, CPU to mouse and keyboard, is constantly being updated.

Despite the replacement of generations, only the floppy drive has remained unchanged for many years and has always been the standard configuration. Can we abandon the floppy drive and make a mobile memory that is compact, stable, and has a capacity many times larger than a normal floppy disk?

Just do it! Deng Guoshun and Cheng Xiaohua gave up the attractive treatment abroad and resolutely returned to China. They rented a house in Luohu District and began to attack a completely unfamiliar field without any ready-made products to learn from.

.

After more than a year of exploration, a flash drive called "USB flash drive" was finally born in their hands.

At the Second International High-tech Achievements Fair, when Deng Guoshun hung a "USB flash drive" sample slightly larger than a key around his neck to display, it immediately gained the favor of many companies. The listed company trek2000iion-alltd co-invested with them

Sz City Langke Technology Co., Ltd. was established with 8.88 million yuan.

Deng Guoshun is hailed as the "Father of Flash Drives" by the IT industry.

The technical content of a thing itself may not be high, what is important is the flash of idea. The principle and manufacturing method of the USB flash drive are very simple, but for a long time, no one has thought about this aspect. And for

For Lu Yiming, who has lived in the world for the next twenty years, these are not problems.

Zheng Youyuan was naturally shocked when he saw that Lu Yiming had taken out all the design drawings.

"So, the USB flash drive you mentioned is ready to enter the actual mass production stage?"

Lu Yiming smiled slightly and said: "Yes. How about it? Do you want to cooperate? I believe you can imagine how big the market for this thing is. The most important thing is that this is an invention patent, and it will be used even abroad.

Our things. We can leave a name in history."

Speaking of leaving his name in history, Zheng Youyuan suddenly became more excited and said: "Okay, I will cooperate with you."

Obviously, Zheng Youyuan was moved by Lu Yiming's words just now, and now he is thinking about creating a brand and leaving a resounding reputation.

Lu Yiming said: "We jointly invest in setting up a company to specialize in R&D and production of this thing. You can choose the name of the company."

Lu Yiming didn't care about the name of the company. He gave the naming right to Zheng Youyuan to give Zheng Youyuan a sense of involvement. In this way, Zheng Youyuan would be more interested in this company.

Zheng Youyuan was very excited. This naming right was handed over to him. Then when people talk about the USB flash drive product, won’t they always think of him?

After pondering for a long time, Zheng Youyuan said: "What do you think of the name 'Mingyuan Technology'?"

Originally, he wanted to call it "Youyuan Technology" directly, but when he thought about using his own name, Lu Yiming didn't like it at all. He was afraid that Lu Yiming would object, so he took one word from his own name and one from Lu Yiming's name.

As the name of the new company.

This is actually the way many people choose names. If you look at the names of many partnership companies, you will see that they are actually a combination of the names of several founders.

"Celebrity Technology?"

Lu Yiming took a breath of cold air.

Is this name really suitable for a technology company?

Before he could ask questions, Zheng Youyuan wrote the word "Ming Yuan" on the paper with a pen.

Feeling that there was something wrong with Lu Yiming's tone, Zheng Youyuan raised his head and asked, "What? Is this a bad name?"

Lu Yiming looked at the two words written by Zheng Youyuan and said with a smile: "Very good, it's decided. On behalf of Future Capital, I will invest 50 million, accounting for 40%. At the same time, we will set up a research and development team to carry out technical research.

.You invest 150 million, accounting for 60% of the shares, and are responsible for production and sales. What do you think of this arrangement?"

Zheng Youyuan hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

Although proportionally speaking, Zheng Youyuan invested 150 million and Lu Yiming invested 50 million, Zheng Youyuan should hold 75% of the shares.

But for technology companies, the proportion of technology shares is very important, because this is the foundation of technology companies.

Moreover, the patent for such a thing as a USB flash drive is now in the hands of Lu Yiming. If Zheng Youyuan disagrees, Lu Yiming can change the cooperation at any time.

It can be said that Zheng Youyuan had no choice at all.

What's more, if you think about it, this thing will be a cross-generation product. There is no doubt about its market prospects. Zheng Youyuan will never miss such a money-making opportunity.

The two drafted a cooperation framework, agreeing that "Mingyuan Technology" will conduct research and development of new products, and "Dayuan Electronics Factory" will conduct production and sales. The specific cooperation details will be discussed in a meeting three days later.

The day after Lu Yiming left Zheng Youyuan's home, Zheng Youyuan mobilized his contacts and began to snipe Liang Shuzhen and Zuo Chunrong.

In the clubhouse of the Lingdong Merchant Mutual Aid Association, Liang Shuzhen and Zuo Chunrong gathered together, both of them looking panicked.

Liang Shuzhen frowned deeply and asked, "Why did this old fox Zheng Youyuan suddenly come forward to protect the boy named Lu?"

Zuo Chunrong was also extremely depressed: "How did I know?"

The two of them were not afraid of Lu Yiming because Lu Yiming had nothing but money, neither strong connections nor deep-rooted influence, so they had nothing to fear.

But Zheng Youyuan is different. This person is also one of the veterans of the Guangfu Merchant Gang. He can't be said to be rich, but his connections are absolutely powerful. It won't be a problem to crush the two of them.

Liang Shuzhen asked: "What should we do now? With Zheng Youyuan coming forward, let alone trouble Lu Yiming, I am afraid we will be in trouble ourselves."

She just runs a restaurant, and her connections are a bit thin to be honest.

Zuo Chunrong was also worried. Once Zheng Youyuan took action, the Mutual Aid Association would not be able to continue. If the previous members wanted to redeem their funds, it would be completely ruined.

After thinking for a while, Zuo Chunrong gritted his teeth and said, "Run away. There is still a chance to run away now."

"Run away?"

When Liang Shuzhen heard this, she disagreed at all. She said dissatisfiedly: "You are engaged in foreign trade, but you can just slap your ass and leave. My hotel is still here. A monk who can escape can't escape from the temple."

Zuo Chunrong sneered: "Do you think I have no losses at all? This is my best plan. We can make a comeback in the future by preserving our strength. If they catch us, we will go to jail."

Liang Shuzhen retorted: "Then who said to do this in the first place? It was you. If you tell me this now, who will bear my losses? Unless you give me a sum of money to make up for my shortfall."

"How can I have money..."

Just when the two were arguing, Liang Shuzhen's cell phone rang. She picked up the phone angrily and pressed the answer button.

"Hello?"

On the other end of the phone, a slightly childish voice came: "Mr. Liang, this is Lu Yiming."

"ah?"

Liang Shuzhen screamed, which shocked Zuo Chunrong and complained: "What is your ghost name?"

Liang Shuzhen pointed to her mobile phone and wanted to say Lu Yiming's name loudly, but she was afraid that Lu Yiming would hear it, so she swallowed it hard, poked the phone hard with her finger, and whispered with an exaggerated expression: "

Lu~Yi~Ming!”

"What?"

Liang Shuzhen thought that her current situation was all caused by this Lu Yiming, and she was immediately filled with hatred for this young man she had never met. She said coldly: "It turns out to be Mr. Lu. You are calling me at this time. Are you planning to laugh at me?"

?”

On the other side of the phone, Lu Yiming said with a smile: "I'm not that boring. I'm a businessman. When I call you, I naturally want to do a business with you."

Liang Shuzhen said angrily: "We have no business to discuss!"

Originally, if Lu Yiming had not appeared, none of this would have happened. Lu Yiming was the culprit. From this relationship point of view, Liang Shuzhen was opposed to cooperation with Lu Yiming from the bottom of her heart.

On the other end of the phone, Lu Yiming said calmly: "Ah? Are you sure? I thought you planned to sell the restaurant. Could it be that I guessed wrong?"

"Ah this..."

Liang Shuzhen was immediately shocked. He had been discussing running away with Zuo Chunrong just now, but he hadn't told anyone yet. How could Lu Yiming know about it?

Just before she could think of how to respond to Lu Yiming, Lu Yiming spoke again.

"Are you thinking about how I guessed that you were going to run away?"

Liang Shuzhen's heart was filled with turmoil, but she forced herself to calm down and said, "What are you running away from? I don't understand what you are talking about."

Although Liang Shuzhen tried her best to deny it, Lu Yiming had already seen through her guilty conscience and said, "I asked someone to do the statistics. You and Zuo Chunrong probably raised about 1.2 billion yuan, right? With so much money, every month is just interest.

That’s 60 million. Unless your new members each month can bring in more than 60 million, you can only use the original principal to pay interest.”

"As the number of members increases, the gap will only get bigger and bigger. How long can you last? Unless you can find a business that can earn more than 1.5 billion yuan in net profits in a short period of time to fill the gap.

Continuing is a dead end."
