128. Chapter 127 You are too low-key
Chapter 127 You are too low-key
Dongyang, Guangdi Village.
Under the scorching sun, a demolition work involving five villages and nearly 400 households is in full swing.
Construction vehicles keep coming in and out here, raising clouds of dust, and the open space connecting the five villages is also a scene of bustling activity.
Before returning to Dongping, Kang Chi took the time to come and see the construction progress of Datang Heavy Industry.
After getting off the car, Zhang Qing handed Kang Chi a helmet and began to explain to him:
”This is the closest place to Dongyang city, and there are many open spaces. Although there are five villages, the population of each village is not large, and most of them are farmland. The workload and cost of demolition are relatively small.”
As she spoke, she pointed to the construction site in the distance where the foundation had been laid and the main construction was about to begin: “That is the R&D building in the center of the entire park. It can be topped off as early as next spring.”
Kang Chi nodded with satisfaction.
He didn’t expect that the project would progress so quickly after only more than a month from application to launch.
It seems that Dongyang City and Zhang Qing have been working very efficiently during this period.
“Again, on the premise of ensuring quality and quantity, we should complete the first phase of the project as soon as possible, and the rest can be done slowly.”
Back in the car, Kang Chi asked again: “Is the budget enough?”
”Fortunately, it is basically within the planned scope. The main reason is that the demolition exceeded the budget a little, costing more than 2.1 billion yuan, but Dongyang made a lot of concessions on the land price. It only cost 1 billion yuan to get the land, and only 200,000 yuan per mu of land. The sincerity is still very great.”
Kang Chi nodded: “Spend what you should spend. You demolished other people’s houses, so it’s okay to give more compensation. There is no need to waste time with the villagers. Time is more important than money… Once the oil extractor starts to be built, the money will come back like water.”
”Well, don’t worry about this. We can’t force the construction without reaching an agreement.”
Chen Hai then drove the car again, took Kang Chi around for a simple circle, and started driving back to Daqin Optics.
During this period, Kang Chi asked Zhang Qing to help Fang Qiming keep an eye out for any suitable camera R&D teams or companies in China. If possible, they could be directly acquired to rapidly expand the R&D department of Daqin Optics.
As the photolithography machine project has been put on the agenda, Kang Chi can’t wait to make the camera.
It would be best if they could make it together and give Daqin Optics users a big surprise!
“By the way.” While talking about the camera, Zhang Qing suddenly said, “Actually, I’ve always wanted to give you a suggestion.”
”What suggestion?”
”Do you feel that you have been a little too low-key all along?”
”Ah?” Kang Chi was a little confused, “Isn’t it better to be low-key?”
”How should I put it… If you just want to make a fortune quietly, then being low-key is definitely good, but if you want the company’s products to be more widely spread and recognized by users, I think it is still necessary to shape your personal image in front of the public appropriately.”
”Look at well-known technology companies at home and abroad, such as Qiao Busi and Kuo Ke of Pingguo, Musk of Tesla, Lei Zong of Xiaomi, Ren Zong of Huawei, etc…”
”Most of the chairmen of technology companies are actually often active in front of the public, which makes it easier for consumers to have a more vivid and clear understanding of the company’s image, thereby increasing user stickiness and brand value.”
It must be said that Zhang Qing’s words are still very constructive, and Kang Chi couldn’t help but start to think about this issue carefully.
Although Kang Chi has been exposed by official media several times, the public has had a preliminary understanding of him, but Kang Chi has never really interacted with users, and his popularity and influence will soon decline.
As Zhang Qing said, if he wants his products to be more widely spread and recognized by users, and to hear the most authentic voices of users, it is necessary to be active in front of the public appropriately.
”Sure enough, you have been a producer and trained stars.” Kang Chi said with a smile, “You set your sights on me so soon?” ”I just suggest that if you don’t want to, then if we want to further promote our civilian products, such as lens cameras, we can only invite celebrities to endorse them…”
”This expense is actually quite high, and originally this might just be a matter of your words, and the effect is even better than inviting celebrities…”
”Okay, I understand.” Kang Chi quickly interrupted Zhang Qing’s long speech, “Then what do you think I should do? I’m usually very busy and don’t have much time and energy…”
”You don’t need to spend too much energy, you just need to apply for a Weibo certification, and then when you encounter something that can show off, just post it and share it with your users… This shouldn’t be difficult for you, right?”
”Pretend? Look at what you said, am I that kind of person? ! ”
Although he said so, Buji said, Kang Chi was inexplicably looking forward to it…
Could he be a bully?
No,
It’s just that he made a product himself, and he still hopes to get everyone’s affirmation in his heart, at least to know that his hard work has not been in vain.
Yes, it must be like this! After convincing himself, Kang Chi took out his mobile phone and installed Weibo, and registered an account.
The name he used was his real name.
But when he wanted to post something to celebrate the new account, he suddenly didn’t know what to say…
The main reason was that his recent research was confidential and not suitable for sharing.
This was a bit uncomfortable.
It was at this time that Kang Chi suddenly figured out a problem.
Since the system was available, He seemed to have made some scientific achievements, but in fact, apart from the lack of financial pressure, his personal happiness did not seem to increase much.
Thinking back carefully, he was happiest when he first started to build the lens production line with Fang Qiming, and saw Li Chen’s evaluation video and netizens’ comments.
Later, although he solved several bottleneck problems, they were actually only problems at the national level. When it comes to every ordinary person, they are not very touching.
What Kang Chi really wants to see is that the oil worms can lower the oil price so that everyone can feel the joy of low-priced oil. The lithography machine is built so that everyone can afford digital products such as cameras and graphics cards with good quality and low prices…
This is his original intention! Kang Chi slowly put down his mobile phone and suddenly said to Zhang Qing: “Thank you for your advice. It suddenly made me think clearly about what I want to do in the future.”
Zhang Qing was immediately confused.
”What to do? ”
“In fact, I have always been a commoner. What I want to do is to be more down-to-earth, to revolutionize science and technology from the bottom up, to research things that can directly change everyone’s lifestyle and make life better!”
“Isn’t that what you are doing now?”
“Well… yes, but it’s not direct enough, but it doesn’t matter. These are actually the inevitable paths that cannot be avoided. Once the problem of the lithography machine is solved, everything will be smooth.”
Kang Chi, who thought about this problem clearly, suddenly felt that everything was clear and relaxed. After more than a year of high-intensity research, his originally tired heart suddenly became full of vitality.
Kang Chi picked up his mobile phone again and sent a short text:
[It is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone.]
