Global Monopoly of Technology

Marcus Lyle's face is a standard European and American face. The "Lyle Binary" company he founded is located in Menlo Park, California, less than 40 kilometers away from the headquarters of Bluestar Technology North America.

Lyle Binary is a standard start-up technology company with 21 employees and Marcus Lyle himself.

Strictly speaking, 20 people, these 20 employees never knew that their boss was not a natural person at all, but that's not the point, the point is that no one knew that Marcus Lyle was an android.

...

In a building workshop in Menlo Park, the Lyle Binary Company was established here, a few engineering men plus a garage, workshop or something, the standard start of a Silicon Valley start-up technology company.

At this moment, Marcus Lyle and several young engineers are testing several drones together, and the manpower is not enough, so the BOSS will end.

Luo Sheng didn't give him too much start-up capital, but only gave him a $2 million angel round of financing through anonymous investment. Marcus Lyle's layout is secondary to making money, and breaking into the opponent's interior is the only thing. main purpose.

Over the course of a few months, the two million dollars were almost spent.

At this moment, an employee excitedly ran into the workshop, locked his eyes on Marcus Lyle and said loudly: "BOSS, an investor has come to the door, and he is a superstar in the technology circle. !"

"wow~~"

When other employees heard it, they cheered, because they also held a certain option stock of Lyle Binary. The company started as a standard. At first, they wanted to attract some excellent engineers to start a business in your small workshop. In addition to the salary in place, the founder's technology can be , the company's prospects are good, and it has to share the company's future residual value, that is, allotment.

Otherwise, the outstanding engineers here in Silicon Valley will not ignore you, and foreigners are very realistic, but they are understandable.

Lyle Binary has also set aside 12% of its equity as an option pool, which is a reserve for attracting more outstanding top talents in the future.

"Who?"

Marcus Lyle clapped the dirt on his hands and looked at the staff of the newspaper and asked who the visitor was. As a android, Marcus Lyle integrated emotional simulation and IQ, and the high-precision emotional logic coding program made He can accurately simulate the real emotions of human beings.

This technology can be said to be the most valuable technology among all the technology companies under Luo Sheng.

So far, it has been listed as the highest secret by him, and only he knows it.

The employee who came to the newspaper replied excitedly: "It's Larry Page, one of the founders of Google."

Larry Page? Google?

All the employees present looked surprised when they heard it, and became even more excited. Larry Page is a member of the top tech giants club in today's Silicon Valley tech circle. Who in the tech circle doesn't know this character? of?

Marcus Lyle was not too excited, he calmly went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and then went to receive him.

"Mr. Page, it's a pleasure to meet you. It's our honor to be here at Binary." After meeting, Marcus Lyle stretched out his hand with a polite smile and tone.

Larry Page, who had some gray hair, was wearing a plaid shirt, and he also happily reached out and shook it, smiling: "Are you Marcus Lyle, the founder of Lyle Binary?"

Marcus Lyle nodded: "Exactly."

Paige smiled and said, "Aren't you going to invite me in to take a look?"

Marcus: "Oh, sorry, of course it's fine, this way please."

After speaking, he personally brought Larry Page and several assistants and other staff into the company's office. Lyle Binary's office is a large garage, and twenty or so young people are crowded. working here.

Larry Page looked around silently, and some of the employees and engineers present were also quite excited. Some even took out Azure-5 and recorded it. There is a more than 50% probability that his mobile phone is a parallel import, or from the black market. I bought it because so far, the Azure-5 that has been re-sold from the Mexican market to North America has exceeded the share of more than half of the regular channels, and this proportion is still increasing.

That is to say, the Azure-5 smartphone in the North American market has reached one out of every two inflows from the Mexican market.

Larry Page doesn't mind them filming himself. He has the easy-going and indifferent aura of a big guy, but he was actually pushed by Bluestar Technology and Luo Sheng, and all kinds of Madfakes blurted out. He's out of stock, but of course, in this case, it is necessary to maintain the demeanor of a boss.

"Seeing everything here reminds me of when I founded Google in my garage nineteen years ago, how similar it is." Larry Page said suddenly with emotion, as if it evoked his past memories. .

"This is probably the highest comment I've ever heard of Binary, Mr. Page, Alphabet's current market cap is as high as $600 billion, and Google is a great technology company. How dare Binary compare to Google... ' Marcus Lyle responded with modesty.

"Haha, nineteen years ago, no one would believe that Google can achieve today's achievements nineteen years later. I am very optimistic about the future of binary." Larry Page laughed: "I noticed that you shared on BV video online. The drone video, wow, that's great, can you tell me about the drone project you're developing?"

Gradually brought to the topic in the business exchange, Marcus Lyle smiled and nodded happily, indicating that there was no problem, and then brought Larry Page to the workbench, opened a few computers and pointed to the data on the display panel, Then said:

"The military application of the technology UAV swarm technology currently developed by Binary aims to realize the development of multiple technologies such as practical combat management on the battlefield and autonomous formation control of swarms."

Larry Page nodded, he is also a technical engineer, and immediately asked the key point: "The larger the scale of the bee colony and the more complex the combat environment, the higher the technical requirements. You should know about the drone swarm technology, and it is likely to be the handwriting of Cote d'Azur and Bluestar Technology. They have realized the autonomous formation control of at least 5,000 drone swarms. If the competition of Lyle binary Your opponent is Luo Sheng, where is your technical advantage?"

Marcus Lyle said without hesitation: "Our development of UAV technology, these key technologies can be summarized into three aspects."

Page: "Which three aspects?"

Marcus: "The first is the development of collaborative technology between swarms and equipment systems. This technology refers to the management and control of drone swarms through airborne early warning aircraft or ground signal stations to establish a unified combat scenario, formation control and adjustment, And the formation coordination as needed is communicated to the swarm network in a short time."

"The second is the development of collaborative technology within the swarm, which realizes the interconnection and autonomous formation control within the swarm through the data link, as well as the swarm cooperative situational awareness and sharing and coordinated task distribution planning decision-making. It also needs to have the ability to avoid The core of a series of information and data comprehensive processing capabilities such as strong electromagnetic interference capability, low interceptability capability, and identity recognition capability is to create an autonomous task allocation algorithm and a response mechanism for autonomous decision-making."

Hearing Larry Page here nodded silently, he realized that he was right to come in person. This start-up technology company called "Lyle Binary" has great prospects in the future, and it may be able to cooperate with Luo Sheng in the military. If you fight for a shot, you may be able to fight with DJI in the field of commercial drones.

If Luo Sheng knew Peggy's inner thoughts at this moment, he would probably smile happily and use his opponent's resources to incubate his own company. Is there anything more exciting than this?

Marcus Lyle continued: "The third is the swarm drone platform and combat system technology, which is the core of the swarm drone and an indispensable hardware device for the formation of a drone swarm. With the characteristics of low cost, high efficiency and multi-functional load, the swarm drone concept requires the low cost of the drone equipment, which can be a one-time or limited-life drone, and can be used on the premise of meeting the functional requirements. Reduce equipment costs in terms of materials, manufacturing processes and engines, so as to focus more on quantitative advantages under the premise of 'quantity' and 'quality'."

At the end, Larry Page nodded very satisfied and smiled: "Ness, OK, Mr. Marcus, I want to invest in your company. May I ask which capital institution participated in your company's angel round financing?"

Marcus: "Anaheim Capital."

Larry Page couldn't help but frown. He thought it was from Sequoia Capital, and he seemed quite unfamiliar with the name.

The big boss behind Anaheim Capital is Luo Sheng, who was originally born to invest in Toutiao, which is now ByteDance. Zhang Yiming and Zhang always refused to rely on others and rejected Bluestar Technology's investment intentions many times.

He thought that he could get rid of Bluestar Technology and develop independently, but he didn't know that he had been working for Luo Sheng all the time, and that the terrible veto power had not been used so far, and President Zhang also trusted security. Naheim, because he has not interfered with the operation of the company for so many years, that veto has not been activated once.

Larry Page nodded and said bluntly: "Mr. Marcus, I think your company's recent angel round financing has bottomed out. I am afraid that the A round financing will be carried out. I think the exclusive contract is expensive. For this round of financing, how much money do you want and how much equity to sell, please make a price directly.”

Page came over in person today. After a brief understanding, he no longer has any hesitation about investing in the company. The Series A financing of Lyle Binary is an inevitable posture.
