Chapter 103: The Fearful Xiaojiang Drone (Part 1)
On the other side, in the best hotel in Xiaohe Town.

At this time, Wang Tao, Wu Di and Professor Li Ze were all gathered in Wang Tao's hotel room.

"For some unknown reason, Xingtu Technology suddenly suspended negotiations today."

Professor Li Ze said what he said with a worried look in his eyes.

Two days have passed since they came here to negotiate. Early in the morning of the third day, they were preparing for the negotiations.

As a result, Lin Feng suddenly called and said that he had something to do today and had to stop the negotiations for a day, which naturally made the Xiaojiang UAV side nervous.

"I got the news."

The person who spoke was Wu Di, the financial director of Xiaojiang Drone. When Wang Tao and Professor Li Ze turned their eyes to him, he smiled and said:
“According to the information I got, Lin Feng suspended the negotiations today.

The reason is that Professor Xie, the head of the Skynet Research Institute in Beijing, is here, and Lin Feng is personally receiving them. "

"Skynet Research Institute?"

Professor Li Ze felt a little puzzled when he heard the unfamiliar name of the research institute. After all, he lived in Hong Kong and didn't know much about Daxia's institutions, especially its research institutions.

Of course, Wang Tao was also one of those who didn't know much about it. After all, as a technology geek similar to Lin Feng, Wang Tao, who was often either in the company or in the laboratory, didn't know much about these things.

"This Skynet Research Institute is not simple. Although it looks like an ordinary research institute, it is actually responsible for the software and hardware development of the entire Daxia monitoring system!"

Hearing Wu Di's words, Wang Tao and Professor Li Ze both showed surprised expressions.

They didn't expect that such an important research institute would suddenly come to Xingtu Technology. This really surprised them.

"not good!"

After being surprised, Wang Tao was shocked, and this reaction also surprised and puzzled the other two.

“Now that the Skynet Research Institute has come to Xingtu Technology, they must have taken a fancy to Xingtu Technology’s second-generation artificial intelligence technology and want to integrate the second-generation artificial intelligence technology into the Skynet monitoring system.

In the meantime, if the Skynet Institute proposes a technical development concept that allows artificial intelligence to control the operation of public security surveillance drones, we will be in trouble.

Originally, Xingtu Technology was not planning to enter the drone field, but what if the prospects of the drone market suddenly expanded?
There are so many cities in the country. If every town needs ten security surveillance drones, how many can be sold nationwide?
If we can penetrate overseas markets, how many units can we sell?
With this broad market prospect, Xingtu Technology may enter the drone market itself. If this is true, it will be a disaster for us!"

By the way, Wang Tao once considered launching security patrol drones to expand the use of drone market, but after his investigation and analysis.

The final conclusion was the same as Professor Xie's, who found that the cost of maintaining such a drone security patrol system was too high.

Although there are other ways, such as developing an automatic cruise system, developing unmanned charging and other functions, and trying to reduce labor costs.

However, such technology is destined to not be developed in a short time. Under such circumstances, Wang Tao can only choose reality and focus his energy on other areas first.

Who would have thought that the Skynet Research Institute, which is responsible for the development of the Skynet monitoring system, would take the initiative to approach Xingtu Technology.

If Xingtu Technology is attracted by the huge market of public security surveillance drones and prepares to enter the market personally, then everything will be bad.

When Wu Di and Professor Li Ze heard Wang Tao's words, they were also shocked. Thinking of the terrible future after Xingtu Technology personally entered the market, they all couldn't help but shudder.

Because compared to Xingtu Technology, which has the artificial intelligence Jarvis, their Xiaojiang drones are simply no match for it.

"We should go to Xingtu Technology headquarters immediately and try to reach a cooperation agreement on equity investment. We can't delay any longer. If we delay any further, everything will be over."

Wang Tao finally chose to bow to reality and accepted a contract worth 293 billion for the exclusive use of Jarvis, an artificial intelligence in the drone field.

Even if Xingtu Technology's cash investment was lower, Xiaojiang Drone would have no choice but to accept it. After all, if Xingtu Technology really entered the market, Xiaojiang Drone Company would not be able to win.

So, after the three of them made the decision, they and their support staff, a total of seven people, immediately drove to the headquarters of Xingtu Technology.

Then they saw Lin Feng and Professor Xie with smiles on their faces, which naturally made Wang Tao, Wu Di and Professor Li Ze feel depressed.

"Boss Wang, why are you here?"

I was just about to take Professor Xie and others to the best hotel in Xiaohe Town for dinner, but I didn't expect to see Wang Tao and others with Xiaojiang drone at the door.

By the way, didn’t he call them before to inform them to stop negotiations for a day? Why did people from Xiaojiang Drone Company suddenly come over?

Following Lin Feng's doubts, Wang Tao forced a smile and said:

"We thought about it and felt that your offer was acceptable, so we came here to continue the discussion with you."

Looking at Wang Tao's extremely contrasting negotiation attitude, and then turning to look at Professor Xie, Lin Feng, who was a smart man, reacted quickly.

It seems that he may not need to pay 20 billion Xia yuan, but only 13 billion Xia yuan, which is a disguised saving of 7 million Xia yuan.

The remaining money can be used to purchase graphics card mining machines to increase computing power.

However, the eagle still had to endure for a while and continue to lower their psychological bottom line, so Lin Feng smiled and said:

"We are preparing to go out for lunch. I wonder if you have eaten yet?"

"No, we've already eaten."

After that, Wang Tao asked nervously:

"I wonder if we can continue the negotiations this afternoon?"

This issue represents the future development plan of Xingtu Technology if Xingtu Technology does not accept the negotiation.

That means Xingtu Technology has decided to enter the drone market, which is pretty bad news for their Xiaojiang drones.

"can."

Lin Feng's answer made them feel relieved, and then they watched Lin Feng and Professor Xie leave with mixed emotions.

When he saw the car going away, Wang Tao said decisively:

"Let's go talk to Qu Qiongying and see what kind of cooperation Xingtu Technology and Skynet Research Institute have reached."

"Ah."

Wu Di and Professor Li Ze all nodded slightly in approval, and then walked into the Xingtu Technology headquarters building.

I want to find out what kind of cooperation Xingtu Technology has reached with Skynet Research Institute and why they all have smiles on their faces.

It didn't take long for them to learn that Xingtu Technology and Skynet Research Institute had reached several letters of intent.

Although this is only a letter of intent, there are still many details to be finalized for the specific contract, and Xingtu Technology also needs to apply for many qualifications and licenses.

But since there is a letter of intent, it would be almost a natural thing for it to become a real cooperation contract. This naturally made Wang Tao and others nervous.
