"Mr. Ma, this is..." The person in charge of Stars Capital noticed two dog-like robots next to him. He became interested in these two bionic robot dogs. One of them had a mechanical arm on its back.
"This is a robot dog, and it is also a second-generation product." Ma Gaoyuan immediately motioned for everyone to look at the mechanical dog with the robotic arm installed, and further introduced them: "This robotic arm has six degrees of freedom and can be used at any time. The bionic robot dog moves together. Like the robot dog, this robotic arm is not just hardware, it also has an intuitive UI and can operate through remote control and supervised autonomous behavior based on tablet devices." The person in charge of Star Capital Quite surprised: "So advanced?" Ma Gaoyuan glanced around and quickly found a tablet computer placed in the warehouse. He opened the tablet and said: "The robotic arm can be accessed through aip, and it can achieve Let me show you how to open the door, grab, drag and other actions." After he operated on the tablet for a while, the small screen UI in front of the robot dog that was originally lying motionless on the ground lit up. This robot dog There is an independent battery on the body.
Under the gaze of everyone, the robot dog suddenly stood up, and the mechanical arm installed on its body moved freely with it.
Ma Gaoyuan smiled and said: "The robot dog is equipped with computer vision system recognition, and can also control its own direction to move. It can pick up garbage, jump rope, open doors, etc." At this point, Ma Zhiyuan threw a rag on the ground. Worked on the tablet for a while.
The robot dog wandered around the warehouse and quickly locked on the rags on the ground through the computer vision system and identified them as garbage.
Then, the robot dog came to the rag. The end of the robotic arm installed on its back had a grasping function. The robot dog picked up the rag on the ground, and then wandered around the warehouse. It was looking for the trash can, but it was not there. Room found.
Then the robot dog walked towards the other side. It came to the door, but the door was closed, so it put the rag aside, and then under the gaze of several investors from Stars Capital , using the robotic arm to grasp the door handle, and the door was opened by it.
From a human perspective, it seems very clumsy, but as a bionic machine, that's another story. Boston Dynamics is currently unable to do this, which to some extent also explains Ma Gaoyuan's technological research and development capabilities. .
Then, the robot dog picked up the rag again, placed it in the trash can, returned to the room, closed the door, and then continued to identify foreign objects on the ground.
Ma Gaoyuan operated on the tablet for a moment, and then the robot dog returned to its original position and lay down to sleep.
"Although the second-generation robot can do a lot of things, there are still many areas for improvement. I believe that this robot can one day be used by families to provide nanny-level indoor cleaning and tidying services." Ma Gaoyuan said.
"Mr. Ma, let's not talk politely. This time the company headquarters assigned me to bring 500 million yuan to invest in you to start a new robot company again and directly give you a valuation of 2 billion yuan. Star Capital only needs 25% of the equity." The person in charge also got to the point straightforwardly.
"What did you say? Invest 500 million?" Ma Gaoyuan was very surprised when he heard this figure. When he submitted the project to k3478, he planned to sell 20% of the equity to raise 10 million. Unexpectedly, Qunxing Capital was going to smash it as soon as it took action. 500 million, but only 25% of the equity.
The rumors are indeed true, he is really famous for Kai! If we can get investment from Qunxing Capital, we don’t need to worry about k3478, and there is no need to go abroad.
The person in charge of Qunxing Capital nodded and smiled: "The company headquarters said that we will try our best to meet any conditions you have. If you can't meet them, we have to find a way to solve them." Such sincerity made Ma Gaoyuan difficult to adapt to for a while. .
However, in business, he did not dare to underestimate capital, not to mention that the last tragic experience was still vivid in his mind.
At the end, Ma Gaoyuan said in a deep voice: "The money actually doesn't cost that much. My condition is that the investors must sign a concerted action agreement with me, and the voting rights are given to me. To be honest, I have learned the lessons of Enlightenment Intelligence first. I don't want to Fall again in the same place."
"That's natural. I understand it completely. There is no problem. Qunxing Capital has only one appeal. When the company gets up in the future, it will enter the A-share market." The person in charge of Qunxing Capital smiled and said: "Qunxing Capital's strategy is to build a company in the A-share market. The listed subsidiary of Bixunxing must be listed on its high-quality assets." Ma Gaoyuan did not object to this at all. After all, the other party was a capital giant group and also had interests to express.
However, after learning from the profound experience of being kicked out of Qiming Intelligence, Ma Gaoyuan also realized the importance of corporate control. As long as Qunxing Capital does not seek control, that will be easy.
The two parties discussed in this large warehouse for half an hour, and finally reached a consensus. Ma Gaoyuan accepted the investment from Qunxing Capital. He originally planned to ask for 50 million, and the equity was transferred to 25%, but the people from Qunxing Capital insisted on investing. 500 million equity still requires 25%, otherwise we will not invest.
Okay! This kind of thing can still happen these days, Ma Gaoyuan is also very confused, and for a while he can't understand the operation of Stars Capital.
A total of 500 million yuan, this is not 50,000 yuan, but an astronomical figure of 500 million yuan, an amount of wealth that ordinary people cannot have in several lifetimes.
However, the sincerity of Qunxing Capital also made Ma Gaoyuan's favorability towards this capital group soar.
The investment cooperation was negotiated, and the people from Qunxing Capital also said goodbye and left. Ma Gaoyuan was also encouraged, and he was ready to make a comeback. Moreover, after meeting a sincere funder like Qunxing Capital, his confidence was higher than last time. It needs to be bigger and become the domestic Boston Dynamics.
After the new company is established, funds will be available immediately. However, Ma Gaoyuan still has a non-compete agreement for one and a half months, so this problem is not a big problem. He can make advance preparations now, and when the non-competition agreement expires, he can directly start new projects in the industry.
...The news that Ma Gaoyuan was settled quickly reached Fang Hong. The other party attached great importance to control, but Fang Hong didn't care. With the reputation system in hand, as long as Ma Gaoyuan's new company became a subsidiary of Qunxing Capital , it would be impossible for him to turn back and become a second-rate boy.
Fang Hong still attaches great importance to what Ma Gaoyuan studies and has high hopes for it. Powered robots not only have civilian prospects, but also have great potential military applications. This is also related to Blue Fox International's future creation of intelligent unmanned armed forces.
Products such as robot dogs can undertake logistical transportation work, and things like wall-climbing robots can also play a role in investigation.
It’s certainly early days for the technology right now, but it will definitely be achievable given time. Ma Gaoyuan is a talented person. In the past two years, he has been able to develop so many advanced technologies by renting a warehouse by himself and doing DIY. In the future, with the full support of his father, a funder like Qunxing Capital, he will definitely be able to accelerate breakthroughs in research and development results. .
