City’s Best Divine Doctor

Chapter 2170 - 2130: Robit’s Company

There are many entrepreneurs, but less than one percent end up succeeding.

Many people, when starting a business, might have initial success, but without financial support, even the best projects die.

Many know that the future surely belongs to intelligence and automation, and this Robbie, being a top student from MIT, definitely understands this.

However, the initial startup expenses were too high. He has already spent tens of millions of US Dollars of investor funds, and due to lack of results, he can no longer attract new investors.

"So what will you do now?" Ye Qiu asked, looking at him.

"There’s no other way; either get more money or face death."

All connections exhausted, money unattainable, naturally, there’s no other way.

And the high-interest loans from those Mafia people keep piling up; those people definitely won’t let him off the hook.

Robbie didn’t know who this young Chinese person in front of him was.

"Take me to see your company, maybe I can help you!"

"Really?" Robbie asked incredulously.

But seeing this young man didn’t seem to be joking.

Moreover, he was with two young women, who seemed like they were touring Silicon Valley, but didn’t quite look like tourists.

Hearing there was hope, Robbie’s demeanor naturally changed, and he hurriedly wiped the dust off his face, leading Ye Qiu, Xia Jing, and Miranda to his company.

Robbie’s company and laboratory were nearby.

However, due to owing a lot of money, the office and lab rent had been unpaid for several months, though the inside was still intact.

If it were back home, things would’ve been moved or damaged long ago.

Silicon Valley, where high-tech companies from around the world gather, is exceedingly valuable, so the office tower rents here are naturally very high.

Robbie’s company team only rented one floor for office space, with partitions for laboratory areas.

Now Robbie, with Ye Qiu and the two women, had just arrived at the thirty-some-story building, attracting odd looks from many passersby.

Robbie, a top talent in MIT’s intelligent robotics, was highly welcomed by the American military, who always wanted him in their lab.

But Robbie didn’t want to join.

And now, because of his startup debts, he became a local celebrity.

Others gave him strange looks, as if he were a swindler, duping people to visit his company.

In fact, many famous American companies, including that fruit-themed mobile company, once faced similar situations without any investor interest.

But now their market value has exceeded one trillion US Dollars.

Taking the elevator to the fifteenth floor, when they stepped out, Robbie led Ye Qiu and the two women towards his company.

At the company entrance, it read Robit’s Future Intelligent Robotics Company.

Robbie used a key to unlock the door, and inside, there were rows of partitioned computer desks, yet no one was there.

The computers and everything else were there.

Just nobody was around.

The core of future intelligent robots lies mainly in AI and algorithms, making robots increasingly intelligent, even surpassing humans.

Thus, the main focus is on software programming.

As for hardware, although important, it isn’t as technologically advanced as software programming.

In truth, Robbie and his team have already developed the first generation of work.

But it is still in the experimental phase.

"Mr. Ye, this is where our company team works. Originally, there were over a hundred employees, but since we haven’t paid salaries for several months, they’ve either gone home to wait or sought other jobs."

With high salaries in America and a substantial research budget needed, without strong investors, it is indeed not feasible.

"Have you not developed a finished product yet?"

"The first generation is already in testing, but it’s a prototype."

Robbie was leading Ye Qiu and the three to the partitioned lab.

Inside was spotless, with many robots.

Including robotic vacuums.

These robotic vacuums weren’t like the ones on the market but more powerful, likened to a nanny that could clean floors, wipe tables, etc.

Other robots covered many areas; according to Robbie, within a decade or two, people could completely free their hands, and robots could handle all tasks.

In the future, it’s said that whatever you wish for, robots would do it for you.

According to Robbie’s plan, running such a company requires constant financing, potentially a bottomless pit.

But one could, while producing products, sell them, and continue developing simultaneously.

Yet, now with the first generation not even out, the company’s situation is as it is.

While Robbie personally demonstrated those works to Ye Qiu, Ye observed that compared to back home, America had much stronger capabilities in this area.

If Robbie were in Huaxia, he could find many investors.

But here in America, there are too many companies of this kind, with intense competition; survival relies not just on strength but also on luck.

Ye Qiu didn’t need to examine further; based on Robbie’s speculations and plans, the technological world of the future matched Robbie’s vision quite closely.

Stepping outside, standing by the window, one could see signs of many high-tech companies.

Robbie introduced, "These companies have their R&D departments and invest even more money in developing future robots. It would be easy to join them, but I don’t want to be restricted, so I chose independent entrepreneurship with a team."

With Robbie’s skills and abilities, whether at Google or Microsoft, he could perform excellently and avoid his current situation.

But time waits for no one; now over thirty, joining these companies to earn money and then starting out, he might be considered too old.

"Aren’t you afraid of losing, competing against those big companies?"

"There’s no fear involved. Surviving relies on strength and luck; I trust my abilities, but now investors have a blind and bandwagon mentality."

Good projects are swarmed by venture capital firms, but companies like robotics, being too numerous, have failed to attract these firms’ attention.
