Brainwave Deception Toy

"Model drones are divided into three major categories: propeller-driven, ducted, and turbofan.

For propeller-driven drones, DJI has already taken the lead and become the dominant player.

Ducted fan technology has low technical barriers, leading to fierce competition.

Only turbofan drones, due to their high price, are currently the choice for high-end and niche players.

However, this doesn't mean that ordinary users reject turbofan model aircraft; it's simply that the price prevents them from choosing.

Now, Yifei has the technology, the strength, and the buzz.

If we can launch a turbofan drone with better cost-effectiveness, a lower price, and wider accessibility, combined with internet promotion, it will open up a new track in the drone industry and create a market worth hundreds of billions for turbofan drones."

He Yu confidently outlined her plans for Yifei.

"This plan has good direction," Chen Yi offered an objective assessment.

Although He Yu was unaware that the turbofan engine material currently in production was a low-temperature heat-strengthening material that would crumble due to accumulated thermal stress after exceeding 500 hours of operation, rendering her plan to pioneer a new drone sector futile, her idea of popularizing high-end turbofan model aircraft, improving cost-effectiveness, and ultimately opening a new drone track was worthy of full marks.

If Yifei continued to operate along these lines, it would pose a significant threat to DJI, the current drone overlord.

If Yifei could withstand DJI's counterattack and succeed in this new drone sector, it would become a brand-new, multi-billion dollar tech company.

Even if they ultimately couldn't compete with DJI and the venture failed, as long as they didn't stubbornly push forward, the worst-case scenario would be similar to the founders of a certain bike-sharing company years ago, easily cashing out billions and exiting.

Of course, what truly mattered to Chen Yi was that He Yu's "Internet + Technology" approach perfectly aligned with his positioning and vision for Yifei.

After all, without the internet, there would be no fame or buzz.

Without fame and buzz, where would the consciousness waves come from?

With this thought, Chen Yi made up his mind. He stood up and extended his hand to He Yu. "Manager He, welcome to Yifei."

"Thank you," He Yu replied, a hint of joy in her expression as she stood up and eagerly shook Chen Yi's hand.

"Next, Manager He, you will need to complete the corporate restructuring of Yifei, changing it from a limited liability company to a joint-stock company, and you will be fully responsible for the company's operations, planning, and management.

The laboratory and studio I control will be separated from Yifei and managed by me independently.

All future technologies will be licensed to Yifei for operation through authorized agencies.

I have only a few simple requirements for Yifei's future.

Internally, foster a people-oriented, caring culture and create a positive work environment.

Externally, we will not pursue maximum profit but aim to change the world with technology.

Yifei will invest the highest amount in research within the industry.

Things like 996 working hours and 'wolf culture' will not exist in Yifei."

"Understood," He Yu acknowledged, accepting the tasks. She then added with a hint of helplessness, "President Chen, your 'simple' requirements are anything but simple."

"It's alright, I believe in you, Manager He. Do your best," Chen Yi encouraged her before standing up, ready to leave.

"Wait, President Chen! Do you have any explanations or instructions regarding the company's current personnel, financial situation, or future plans?" Seeing Chen Yi about to leave so casually, He Yu quickly called out.

"Oh, you're right, I almost forgot," Chen Yi nodded, pulling out his phone to add He Yu on WeChat. He then downloaded the report Qin Xiaoyu had sent that morning and forwarded it with one click.

"Manager He, all the company's information is in there. Please review it yourself and formulate the company's future plans, as long as they don't deviate from my requirements."

Watching Chen Yi download the day's report and forward it, with the previous two days' reports still in an un-downloaded, unread state, He Yu was stunned.

"Um, President Chen, is this how you usually manage the company?" He Yu asked cautiously. "Do you delegate all company matters to your employees?"

At that moment, she felt like she had fallen into a trap. Although she was a professional manager responsible for all aspects of the company, her authority stemmed from the boss's authorization. For major decisions or plans involving significant funds, she was required to report to Chen Yi, the boss, and obtain his approval. This was not only a mark of a professional manager's integrity but also a means of self-protection. After all, with engine technology capable of reaching space and the materials to manufacture it, Yifei would no longer be the small workshop it was today but at least a multi-billion dollar conglomerate. For a small workshop, Chen Yi could afford to be a hands-off boss; as long as the compensation was sufficient, he wouldn't mind.

But for a large company, without the involvement of Chen Yi, the boss, it wasn't a matter of treatment, but a matter of legality.

Funds involving millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, all handled by her alone as a manager, without the boss's approval.

It would be fine if nothing went wrong, but if something did.

A post-mortem accounting would definitely earn her ten years of experience in a sewing factory.

"I trust my employees, and I also trust your character and ability, Manager He. I'm at ease leaving the company's affairs to you from now on."

Yifei's core assets were mainly the technologies mastered by Chen Yi.

Now that the studio and the company were separate, Chen Yi naturally trusted He Yu completely.

After all, without core technical assets, even if He Yu sold the company, it wouldn't cause much loss.

"President Chen, this isn't a matter of trust, it's a matter of legal procedure."

He Yu replied with a conflicted expression, "Without you, the boss, involved, there are many things I can't do."

In the past, when she managed other companies, some bosses knew nothing but still gave nonsensical orders.

Now, at Yifei, the boss let go of everything and handed all the responsibilities to her, which was a bit too much.

So much so that she could already see the sewing machine waving at her.

"Oh, so it's a matter of procedure. Don't worry.

From now on, Manager He, you can seek instructions when you need to, and come to me for approval when it's required. I won't leave all the responsibility to you."

Chen Yi stated his attitude very straightforwardly.

After speaking, he saw that He Yu still seemed worried, looking like she was about to pack up and run at any moment.

Chen Yi thought for a moment and unleashed the boss's ultimate move.

-- Painting a picture!

"Manager He, besides the current turbofan model aircraft engines, Yifei is also researching Hall effect thruster drones.

One of the prerequisite technologies for the Hall effect thruster drone is the ultra-high energy battery technology, which can be completed for mass production soon."

"Ultra-high energy battery?"

He Yu was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked, "How high energy?"

"Conservatively calculated, it's 10 times that of lithium iron phosphate batteries and 5 times that of ternary lithium batteries."

Chen Yi thought about the structure of the Hall effect thruster and its energy source requirements, and gave a figure.

"Hiss!"

He Yu's eyes widened, her expression instantly breaking down as she exclaimed in disbelief, "How is that possible?!"

Facing He Yu's shock, Chen Yi didn't explain much, just continued to paint the picture: "For this technology, the company plans to offer 2 to 3 percent of its shares as stock options for employees.

As a senior executive of the company, Manager He, as long as all company operations go smoothly and achieve my expected goals, you will definitely not miss out on these stock options."

"..."

Looking at Chen Yi who was painting a picture for her, He Yu was stunned, not knowing how to respond.

At first, when she heard that Chen Yi wasn't going to manage anything and was prepared to let her be responsible for everything, taking on unprecedented career risks, He Yu's first thought was to pack up and run.

This boss is unreliable.

But now, faced with the grand vision Chen Yi was presenting, she hesitated.

If Yifei could really produce the ultra-high energy battery technology, then this stock option reward would be truly enticing.

Her expression shifted for a while, and finally, He Yu chose to yield, sighing.

"...President Chen, I'll take this 'cake' you're offering. I hope it's not just a picture to stave off hunger."

"Manager He will not regret today's decision."

Having dealt with the professional manager of Yifei.

Chen Yi returned to the studio and found that Qin Xiaoyu, who had gone out to customize parts, had returned.

He walked over to Qin Xiaoyu, who was busy at the computer, and tapped the desk with his finger.

"Xiaoyu, did you buy the brainwave control toys and accessories I wanted?"

"I bought them. They're all on your workbench on the second floor,"

Xiaoyu looked up and replied.

"Good. I'm on vacation for the next few days. If it's not important, tell them I'm not here."

Chen Yi nodded and went upstairs to the second floor, opening a box on his workbench.

A bag of cut and polished titanium alloy parts.

Fifteen boxes of top-tier brainwave control toys.

Chen Yi picked up one of the toys and took out a black intention control toy inside, similar in style to Sun Wukong's Golden Fillet.

He examined it but couldn't see any item attributes.

Chen Yi pulled open the drawer and took out a screwdriver.

He disassembled a dozen toys into scattered parts, swapped components, and then reassembled them.

The status interface popped up.

[Item: Brainwave Control Toy]

[Attributes: Energy x4.8, Strength x4.6, Information Computation x3.2, Information Processing x0.2, Signal Transmission x0.3, Aesthetics x4.3]

[Consciousness Wave: 2078705↑]

[Note: This is a toy with almost zero technological content, merely capable of roughly sensing brainwaves; it's a scam.]

"Information Processing 0.2, Signal Transmission 0.3."

Looking at the attributes of this latest brainwave control toy, Chen Yi had a rough idea.

This so-called brainwave control toy most likely involved installing sensitive electrodes inside the toy to detect brainwave activity.

When brainwaves were detected, the main control chip would send a signal, activating the toy's preset program, and the toy would move.

To put it simply, the "brainwave control" here was just using brainwaves as a switch.

As for anything else like brainwave reading or mind control, it was all nonsense.

"Looks like I'll have to modify it step by step myself."

Chen Yi took out his screwdriver, removed the toy's outer shell, and replaced it with the custom-made titanium alloy casing.
