Chapter 896: Chapter 462: Have You Become Forgetful as You Age?_3
"For instance, 3G is currently being widely adopted, but maybe in a few years it’ll be 4G, 5G. We’re about to enter the era of smartphones, yet we haven’t developed a mobile APP, right?"
"That means we’re falling behind the times. Even if we could make it big on the PC side, without an APP it’s useless. Everyone is going to use mobile phones, but not everyone uses computers."
"We’re still small scale, so we can control things. It’s easy to avoid losses, too. We’ve capitalized on the early advantage and acquired a certain scale of users. It’s not much, but the operational model is already built. For many big companies, what they need is the model, the basic framework. Traffic is actually the least of their worries."
"So what then?" Sun Liang asked. He seemed to already know the answer.
"Sell it!"
Zhao Yi said matter-of-factly, "You can’t expect to monopolize the market, can you? A continuously losing business is better left to those big internet companies. If we can sell it, we’ve made a profit."
"Sell it..."
Sun Liang and Zhao Linlin exchanged glances, and even Lin Xiaoqing was somewhat reluctant to let go. She hadn’t done much more than others, but had still invested a lot of time for their small company. The sudden proposal to sell the company was hard to bear.
"Or what?"
Zhao Yi didn’t see any issue, "Do you really want to grow big? Later on, policies and such might become our biggest limitations, and even losses of several hundred million might not make it achievable."
He was very serious when he said this.
It was the truth.
Zhao Yi didn’t quite understand business matters, but the memories he had beyond others allowed him to make a basic judgment. Even with massive capital and time, the likelihood of success was low as they were on the cusp of the smartphone era, and the internet landscape was fundamentally changing.
Once those big companies realized there was a market for online healthcare, they would make big moves immediately. Having traffic was the key factor. Many online healthcare services would emerge, and compared to them, they had no advantage. It was better to sell while they had some achievements and make a small profit from the sale.
In conclusion, Zhao Yi said, "It’s like with our university, we’re nearing the end now, but in relation to life, it’s also a new beginning, right?"
...
A new beginning, a new starting point.
After the New Year.
Zhao Yi’s starting point was to urge research institutes and organizations to provide data for the latest improvements in fighter jet equipment. He also requested that a few research institutions send professionals to carry out data handover and design verification with the Warhawk Special Research Group.
This was necessary.
Certain parts related to the design of the fighter jet had to be developed with the involvement of professionals. Every fighter jet was a brand new design, not a standard product ’manufactured on a production line.’ The verification might even involve the equipment’s circuit connections, which the Warhawk team alone couldn’t complete—unless they understood the operation of every single component. However, considering the difficulty in doing so, and that it was solely for the design of the fighter jet, it was entirely unnecessary.
After delegating the tasks to the Warhawk team, Zhao Yi immediately checked in on Zhang Zhen’s work.
Zhang Zhen had been running around during the Chinese New Year and even visited Zhou Haoren’s home. The negotiations were almost settled.
Zhao Yi had stakes in two companies. He owned ninety-nine percent of Star Billion Technology Company, with the remaining shares being a tiny fraction held by Xu Chao, Zhang Zhen, and Zhao Zhenxi.
Therefore, under the name of Star Billion Technology Company, they would purchase ten million shares of Red Wind Industry Group (at 10 yuan per share) at about ninety-five percent of the market price. freewebnσvel.cѳm
As for the main spindle technology research and development collaboration, Red Wind Industry reached a cooperation agreement with the Mechanical Systems and Vibration Lab at Yanhua University, with Zhao Yi as the lead researcher responsible for the project.
This plan was the agreed outcome.
Whether Zhao Yi was actually a researcher at the Mechanical Systems and Vibration Lab was a question both parties chose to ignore.
That day.
Zhu Lin, the person in charge of the Mechanical Systems and Vibration Lab, returned to the lab to check on project information and was suddenly faced with a partnership confirmation letter from Red Wind Industry.
"Red Wind Industry Group collaborating with Yanhua University’s Mechanical Systems and Vibration Lab to develop industrial main spindle technology? Industrial main spindle? Do we have that capability?"
"Initial sponsorship for research and development funding... five million? So much at the initial stage?"
Zhu Lin was puzzled. He murmured to himself in confusion, "Such a big deal, such a major research collaboration. Why do I seem to... have never heard of it?"
"This isn’t right. I have no recollection at all. Could it be that with age, my memory is deteriorating?"
He tapped his forehead in frustration.
But still, he couldn’t remember anything.
