As soon as these words came out, three people immediately looked at Chu Yuanxi. Unexpectedly, he said: "Your product has been made, but it only takes 0 to 1. It takes 100 to complete the business closed loop. Among them, let users use your product is 2. The only reason why investors are unwilling to invest money is how can users use your product?"

Monica was very surprised to find that this ordinary problem caused God Hotz to fall into a long-term state of static. How can I use it for users? I can sell them to buy it? What else can I do?

However, Hotz, who made the product at the Speed ​​of Light and iterated once in the second year, could not give this simple answer because he had tried various ways he could think of, including but not limited to posting tutorials on the oil pipes and then remotely directing fan users to operate. But there is no use for anything, I sell it, they can't buy it, they can't buy it, and they can't use it. The remaining bit of users are not even able to maintain daily maintenance, and it is impossible to support a startup.

So his smile gradually disappeared.

Sometimes his team has to complain. The biggest gain is to shoot a bunch of technology videos, which are so hard-core and funny. If autonomous driving is not good, the advertising expenses of oil pipes have become the main source of income. In name, the entrepreneurial track is an on-board system, but in fact it is created by self-media...

Learning from the pain, Hotz found that the problem he had to face could be simply attributed to - we don't make complete vehicles.

The ambition of making in-car systems is great. However, Tesla sells whole vehicles, so it can directly make the system into a car state and make equipment such as cameras that sense road conditions into the car. BMW and Mercedes-Benz are the same. All whole vehicle players who want to develop an autonomous driving system can do this, but it cannot.

The on-board system can be solved with a box, but the perception equipment is not good. There is no unified standard for autonomous cars, and it pursues universality for all models, not only adapting to one or several brands. Then his users face a crucial problem, the problem of how to install the perception equipment, and those physical devices must be correctly installed on the user's car.

Just this step has stumped the genius. This thing is not a mobile phone case. You can finish it after buying one set. The difficulty is equivalent to that if you sell air conditioners, you cannot deliver the air conditioner to the customer's home, you must complete it.

This is a very simple problem for traditional large companies. Skilled workers come to the door to install the company and charge service fees. However, there are people who have processes and complete systems. But small companies are not good. Hotz brings two or three big cats and kittens. There is no problem with technology, but it will be unbearable to do other cash flows. The key is that he doesn't know how to do it.

There are actually many teams like this who only know how to develop and make products but don’t know how to operate and do business. Hotz will not be the first or the last one. So his product is bargain, with a set of 999$ per month, and a service fee of 24$ per month. It is cheap and good, but it cannot be sold because this knife 999 does not include installation.

And this is not a problem that can be solved by sitting in front of the computer and turning on the oil pipe to broadcast live videos. Hoz doesn't understand anything else, but understands that what he does is autonomous driving, which is a life-threatening thing. It is inevitable that the user can do it by himself. If the maintenance is not good, he may have a car accident...

In fact, even if this problem can be solved, there are even bigger problems waiting for him, such as the issue of supervision and accident responsibility determination, which are institutional issues that can only be promoted by large companies.

Then, there are insurance issues, industry standards issues, and a series of other difficult issues, and finally, the most important licensing issues.

All these are solved, and only the distance from 1 to 100, and the journey is a hundred and a half miles away. It can be said that from the test license to the demonstration license to the commercial operation license, the distance between several thousand miles of the Long March is so far.

Autonomous driving is a track that naturally excludes "small and beautiful" with extremely high threshold. The solution provider model used in other industries allows small and beautiful companies to exist, but there will be huge deformations in this track. Only super companies can provide solutions, because this solution itself is insignificant and requires more than technology.

So George Hotz is always dormant, waiting for an opportunity, such as the opportunity when 5g arrives.

But he didn't understand why Chu Yuanxi understood this problem? Why did you, a self-media and games, understand the problem of sales of autonomous driving systems? Ah—

Why did Chu Yuanxi understand the crux of it? Because he had thought for a long time in his original world. The main goal he wanted to achieve was to make a system similar to iOS and Android to mobile phones, but in the end he found that Apple could not push its own iOS without making it. Android was at a good time back then, and there was no such opportunity again. Traditional vehicle manufacturers would not give this opportunity, and they had to have their own cars.

The battle for this in-vehicle system is extremely cruel. It is the survival of the fittest by functional cars from smart cars, which is far less gentle than mobile phones. In fact, mobile phones are not gentle either. The change of dynasty also killed the two generations of overlords of Motorola and Nokia, and then formed a new ecosystem. A group of new players accepted the dominant position of solution integrators, and then came to this day.

But cars are not mobile phones, there is no overlord, and the leaderless group each has its own wheels. Who would be willing to accept the domination of others? Seeing that there are countless new players in this drama of rise and fall, there will inevitably be old-fashioned powerhouses going to the forefront, and even repeat the story of Motorola Nokia. If they could see the form clearly, quickly find a new industrial positioning, calmly accept downgrades, and accept the people of Myanmar, they would not be at the end of the road. I wonder who would follow in the big automobile manufacturers?

Don't know whether Hotz understands these principles?

So Monica was shocked to find that neither of them mentioned investment, let alone valuation or something. George Hotz actually said goodbye and left?

After looking at the hotz account that had just been added to whatsapp, Monica suddenly felt very disappointed, as if she was watching a genius sinking.

"Do you think of Monica?" Chu Yuanxi shook her with his hand, "The spiritual world is strong, we don't have to be pitiful, and Hoz can transform into a self-media kol at any time, so you don't have to worry about him."

"I'm either pitiful, I just feel unhappy. The genius is obviously working very hard, but, but..." Monica spent a long time but couldn't continue. After holding it in for a long time, she suddenly asked: "What if you were him?"

Chu Yuanxi said quietly: "The ancient Greek men came out to work hard before the age of 30, and returned to their families after the age of 30 to get married and have children. We also have the saying that they are at the age of 30, but they are actually the same meaning. After the age of 30, they need to return to normal life and return to ordinary life."

"What's the meaning?"

"Finding a job, set a small goal that is easy to achieve, such as working for five consecutive years."

Monica wanted to speak but stopped. In fact, Chu Yuanxi was a little sad, and even felt a little glad that he was not a technical genius. Otherwise, with his temper, he would probably be worse than Master Hotz. He knew why Monica was unhappy, because Monica was also a genius to some extent, but a sports genius but not a technological genius.

"Listen to me, Monica, don't think it's easy." Chu Yuanxi had already abandoned the bit of regret as he spoke. "He needs to work in a company like Didi and Waymo, need to accept leadership from people who are worse than him, need to accept commands from people who are technically better than him, and even point fingers and pick on him. The more genius, the less easy it is."

"So is there any chance for his business?"

Chu Yuanxi didn't nod or shake his head, but asked Elizabeth, who had been the background wall for most of the day: "Suppose you are Hotz and have the skills, how can you do it?"

"His pricing strategy is wrong." Elizabeth grasped the crux of the problem, "The promotion of autonomous driving peripherals cannot rely on ultra-low prices. This new technology and service has no meaning to users. It is only meaningful for relatively cheap prices, more reasonable services, and can be used smoothly in the end. He should change the pricing strategy to profitable, which is brought by his technical advantages."

When she spoke, she inadvertently showed a confident and ostentatious expression, which Monica had never seen before.

"If there is such an advantage as he advertises, the advantage should be reflected in cost and pricing. For example, if other companies cost 5,000 and their cost 500, then their pricing should be 4,999 instead of 999. Then rely on this profit margin and price advantage to find investors to invest money for him, and use this as the core to get a high valuation and raise a lot of money. Finally, expand the ground team according to the standards of large companies, and push out one block after another, just like Xiaokang did."

After listening to it, Monica's applause was so happy that she thought that it would be great if she had such clear business ideas as well, and she would start entrepreneurship and incubation immediately!

Unfortunately, there is no...

Elizabeth asked Chu Yuanxi: "Why didn't you vote for him in the end? It's not difficult to understand this business idea, right?"

Chu Yuanxi answered the question terrible question: "It would be great if he could accept my exploitation, to me and to him."

Elizabeth said this sentence in his heart was very meaningful.

After being a background wall for a long time, she was not idle either. She almost learned about Hotz's experience, which looked quite legendary. But some people are suitable to be a technical director. If they can't be the leader of the entrepreneurial team, no matter how big a technical master is, she can't do it. With Hotz's personality, if she is probably able to be a superhero in the Marvel world, she is really not optimistic about it in the real world.

"It seems that he has no chance..." She thought a lot for a moment, and even thought that if she had money, it would be a chance to make money. If she was not optimistic, it would be a good opportunity to make money, but if she didn't make money from users, she would be fine for investors.

Especially in Hotz, he has a great reputation and is hard to say whether he is weak or not. At least he is a world-renowned top technology master, and he has a lot of room for operation just to gain fame. He can invest at the bottom of the valuation and then give advice to Hotz's confusion. At least he looks like he can achieve success, with clear business logic and technical support. When the valuation increases, new investors come to his door and sell his shares in a low manner.

As for whether Hotz can really do it? Then I have to ask God, anyway, he can survive until the next round of financing without showing signs of failure. What a pity...

At the same time, Chu Yuanxi thought that Hotz had no chance. Hotz was not the kind of person who was willing to bow his head. If so, then he should bow his head now.

Chu Yuanxi is actually a more regrettable than Monica, because she doesn’t have many opportunities to play with a car. It would be great if Hotz is worth investing in. She can continue her dream of playing with a car.

As a person, Hotz is very talented and not bad, and even makes friends. However, as a business unit, it is not a good target for strategic investment. It is a investment that is not hopeful, just to satisfy one's curiosity, not for a career. Strategic investment is necessary for a career. Not only does it invest money but also to put out energy and resources. The problem is not only the difficulty of Chu Yuanxi's resources to cross the ocean, but also the difficulty of Hotz himself. Is it useful to give him energy and resources?

"Monica, you can tell Hotz the original words of the detective's suggestion to see if he has any feedback." At this time, Google's meeting was over long ago. Chu Yuanxi said as he glanced at his phone, and then was shocked to find a group of people sending him messages.

What's going on? Open WeChat and scan it one by one. When he saw the screenshot, he immediately understood. Shen Ma was mocking him in his circle of friends. Although the two were not friends, they were both in the media information track and had many friends. What did they say there live broadcasting here?

I'm fucking! Do you have to give me the blame for this woman's failure? I'm embarrassing you? Chu Yuanxi looked at the screenshot and thought to herself that she couldn't spoil her, so she posted it on Moments!

He suddenly thought about his thoughts and wrote a bunch of words:

I heard about some things and I would like to clarify. First of all, Mr. Shen and I only met one person, not even a WeChat friend, so I think it is a bit too much to say that she is my friend, and there is no such thing as "putting my friends to face".

Secondly, I have no obligation to force myself to know who I know. If anyone thinks that I am a celestial dragon, please bring a glass cover first to avoid offending me. I first asked about the purpose of the trip, saying that it was because I developed a game with AI as the core gameplay and wanted to know relevant information. It would not be any benefit for me to let others understand it, so what I refused was not the so-called "unreasonable refusal".

Again, the reason why I don’t want to know the editor of "S" is that this magazine is a top journal. It is a fool who has tried to pick up wallets to list my country as the last most honest person, and it is so disgusting that it is too disgusting.

The editor of this kind of magazine can get a visa to the Magic City, which means that the country is generous, but I am not that generous. This magazine gives me the impression that it is unscrupulous and has great hostility towards our country as a whole. It may not only be of no benefit to know him but also may be harmful. I told him some practical things, and then he took it out of context and wrote it out of context to belittle me what to do? I don’t trust this malicious unscrupulous media, so I simply don’t know him and ask him not to speak out.

If anyone thinks that I don’t cooperate with you to lick your kneeling posture and the Americans look bad, please come and kill me immediately to show your merits?
