Yes, in the face of Ge Lingyue's questioning, because of the business that had just been finalized with Ma Huaide, Wang Yufei had the confidence to connect with the CEO of his own company.

So Wang Yufei said confidently in his usual gentle tone: "I just want to tell Mr. Ge that I just talked to Mr. Ma of Penguin Group on the phone, and the company will package and sell co-production software and related technologies to Penguin Group for a price of 1.3 billion yuan." The money was directly invested in the Quantum Intelligence Division. In addition, for the company, co-production is not expected to be profitable for the time being, and it can reduce the investment in servers and operation and maintenance, which can be regarded as reducing the burden. ”

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, apparently still digesting the news.

This is still Wang Yufei selling software in the name of the company.

Of course, it is not without precedent before, the second system was once sold to Apple in exchange for $100 million in the company's reserve funds.

But the situation is obviously not the same as the second system.

The second system is suspected of infringing Apple's intellectual property rights.

If you really want to go to court, it is very troublesome.

But the co-production is completely independent and has a relatively good market prospect, Ge Lingyue really didn't expect Wang Yufei to be willing to package and sell the software to Penguin.

Of course, it's not that Ge Lingyue doesn't support this decision.

In fact, from the perspective of the operator of the enterprise, Ge Lingyue did not agree with the business philosophy of multi-point flowering.

Ge Lingyue is far more aware of the current situation of Changxiang Technology than Wang Yufei.

Making chips and operating systems is already the limit that Changxiang Technology can support.

The essence of Hepao is a software that focuses on stranger socialization, and unlike other stranger social software, Hepao has extremely distinctive characteristics, but if the company wants to deeply cultivate stranger socialization, it will definitely have to compete head-to-head with Penguin Group.

It's not that Changxiang Technology is afraid of Penguin Group, the key is that market competition is not simply about technology. To compete for the market and customers, drainage everywhere involves a series of market operation methods.

These methods are all about money.

In fact, Wang Yufei's proposal to build his own data center everywhere is a market means to enhance the core competitiveness of his own products.

In short, there are competitors in co-production to become bigger, and it is necessary to spend money on the market in order to gain a firm foothold in the cruel market competition. Now the company is mainly focused on the Xin system, building data centers everywhere, and the co-production has naturally become a chicken-like existence.

Simply selling it is naturally the most suitable option.

Penguin Group is not a wrong buyer, after all, 1300000000000000000000000000000000000000000 After all, the technical content of co-production was still very mysterious before the macro language was launched, but when the macro language was launched, for example, Penguin had already spread the news that some functions of co-production would be added to WeChat.

The reason why he has never mentioned selling co-production is not because Wang Yufei is more arbitrary in this regard.

In Ge Lingyue's opinion, although Wang Yufei is a good boss, he is still too stubborn in some aspects. For example, they are unwilling to accept venture capital, and are likely to regard their own software as a treasure, without a sense of the big picture and business. Purely technical people have more or less such shortcomings.

What she didn't expect was that her humble boss suddenly opened up.

Without her to do the work, she even took the initiative to sell the company's software.

Of course, this also made Ge Lingyue realize that Wang Yufei's emphasis on quantum computing is probably not a joke.

It is better to sell the software developed by one-handedly than to prepare for the establishment of the Quantum Intelligence Division.

This determination was probably not something that could be changed by her persuasion.

That's the disadvantage of a company not going public.

Without the constraints of shareholders, Wang Yufei does not pay much attention to ordinary trivial matters, but in the key direction of the company's future development, it has become the chairman's word.

At most, she can only put forward her opinions, and whether to adopt it depends on Wang Yufei's decision.

But after this period of running-in, Ge Lingyue already had a general understanding of how stubborn Wang Yufei was on some key issues, so when she heard the news, she didn't even bother to mention her opinion.

The only thing that reassures her is that although Wang Yufei is always a word in the general direction, the execution at the technical level is extremely strong. It's like the release of the Xin system, which seems like a dream to her.

So she just needs to execute.

The CEO of Changxiang Technology is really an executive!

Ge Lingyue sighed in her heart, but when she spoke, she had already decided to cooperate with Wang Yufei's idea unconditionally.

In view of the importance you attach to the Quantum Brain Division, the office location is arranged on the 21st floor of the company, and the entire floor will be allocated to the future Brain Division. However, I would like to remind you that the follow-up R&D funds of the Smart Brain Division also need to be raised by the department itself. In fact, the company's finances can be said to be very unhealthy right now. And it's hard to find the right professionals these days. ”

With this deal, it is not a big problem to build the department.

As long as you don't ask her for money, everything else is a small thing.

People don't even have to think about it.

According to the statistics of a scientific and technological institution, there are less than 1,000 people in the world who can be called experts in quantum computing, and they have already been carved up.

Silicon Valley's high-tech giants already account for more than half.

The EU invests more than $1 billion a year in the development of quantum computers, and at least 100 people have to be raised.

The rest are probably in Huaxia.

Ordinary countries simply cannot afford high-end research such as quantum computers, which is extremely expensive and has no way out for the time being.

For example, Huaxia's quantum computing research project started slowly, but there was no ambiguity in throwing money at it.

The investment in the construction of the quantum application research center in Luyang City alone has reached the scale of 10 billion US dollars.

There are other quantum technology research centers in Beijing, Hangzhou and other places, and among the private enterprises, only the Damo Academy of Xiaoli Baba, an Internet giant in China, has a similar laboratory for research.

In comparison, the quantum brain division of Changxiang Technology can be said to have no advantages at all.

The investment of 1.3 billion yuan, as Ge Lingyue said, can only build a shelf and build one or two basic laboratories to serve as a façade.

If you really want to work hard in this industry, 1.3 billion yuan is about a fraction.

"It's okay, just put up the shelves first, and I'll figure out a way for the follow-up funds. Yes, has the project begun to convert the fourth floor of the garage into a cryogenic laboratory?"

"The garage has been renovated, but the laboratory project has not yet been officially established. The approval was not approved, and the relevant authorities are still carefully assessing the safety of building a cryogenic laboratory on the fourth basement floor of the building. The initial advice was that if there was a real need to build your own cryogenic laboratory, you could choose another location. ”

Wang Yufei thought for a while and said: "Well, I thought about it again, it is really not good to build a cryogenic laboratory in the headquarters building, and this project has been cancelled." You give me a diagram of the whole building, and I'll look at how to renovate it. If I can, I can use it for other purposes from the minus four to the minus two. ”

"Wait, the underground parking lot has been requisitioned, so what will happen to the employees parking in the future?"

"The company tries to arrange shuttle buses, and isn't it enough to add parking spaces on the negative floor?"

"At present, only about half of the parking spaces on the negative floor are still available, and the remaining half has been converted into a canteen. ”

"In this way, then you can go and discuss with Mr. Wu, Wu is always a very capable person. ”

"Black Rabbit security is still responsible for helping us find a parking space?" Ge Lingyue looked surprised.

"You can ask first, maybe there is a way?" Wang Yufei replied.

After finishing the business, Ge Lingyue suddenly gave a suggestion: "Okay, nothing else." By the way, since you want to bet with Google, it's better to bet bigger, we can rely on the account if we lose, but if we win, the other party may give it if we want to make a face?"

Wang Yufei was really shocked by Ge Lingyue's words this time.

It turned out that the CEO he was looking for could really be so inhibited.

Before the other party could fight, this side had already thought about losing the bet, and instantly felt that his company was invincible in this gambling game.

But Wang Yufei still explained very sincerely: "Mr. Ge, to be honest, I never thought that we would lose." ”

The other side was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Okay, boss, I'm hanging!"

Probably Wang Yufei's self-confidence also made Ge Lingyue at a loss, and she wanted to complain, but she was embarrassed by the boss's face.

The relationship between the chairman and CEO of Changxiang Technology never seems to be on the same channel.

Therefore, Ge Lingyue naturally didn't expect that Wang Yufei never thought that he would invest a large amount of money in the construction of his own laboratory in the early stage.

Isn't it good to work with a lab that's already been built?

Hanging up the phone, Lu Yuxin said happily: "Google responded." ”

"Oh?"

Wang Yufei also became interested and opened Weibo.

"@天才宇飞, accept the gamble, you decide what to bet!"

Be concise and to the point, and don't want to write an extra word.

Full of cold style.

......

In fact, Google did not want to respond to Wang Yufei's Weibo.

If it weren't for the fact that Wang Yufei has been teasing Google's sensitive nerves, if it weren't for the fact that the whole network was @Google Huaxia, waiting for Google's response, Google really didn't want to respond to Wang Yufei's provocative behavior on the Internet.

After all, it is a world-class technology company, and it still has to be face-saving.

It can't be said that Google has to respond if someone provokes it.

Then Google's PR department is going to die.

Not to mention that Changxiang Technology has not even conducted any research on quantum computing before today, and even admitted on Weibo that it would wait until the next day to officially establish the Quantum Intelligence Brain Division.

Google really won't respond to any company.

Are you kidding?

Isn't this an overt touch of porcelain?

However, the situation is different with Enjoy Technology.

After all, last night's press conference was, to some extent, the high-level response to the release of the Xin system by Changxiang Technology.

If you admit it, then yesterday's press conference has basically lost its original meaning.

As for the slow response, it is understandable.

When the presentation at the press conference has caused debate throughout the academic community, it is no longer up to Google to decide how to respond.

This will have to be decided by the headquarters study.

It can be seen that once the mouth cannon is bigger, it is also a big thing for large companies, for example, it may affect goodwill.

Of course, for technology enthusiasts, this response has shown everyone a big melon that can last for a year.

It's exciting.

This is much more exciting than the previous bet between the spiritual leaders of two domestic companies.

After all, Changxiang Technology and Google not only represent two companies, but also belong to different countries.

At this time, everyone began to wait for Wang Yufei's response.

No matter what you gamble on, it is definitely a major event in the history of the world's scientific and technological development, and it must be recorded in history.

......

At this time, Wang Yufei had already begun to discuss with Lu Yuxin what it was more appropriate to bet on.

Wang Yufei's opinion is very direct: "Just bet on money, I think Google will cheat on other bets." ”

Yes, if this is really a gamble that must be fulfilled after the results are released with third-party supervision, Wang Yufei actually wants Google's X Labs.

For example, the entire laboratory was moved to Huaxia, including the laboratory instruments and all the scientists.

But this is most likely impossible.

Even if Google loses, it will definitely be a cheat in the end, and it has nothing to do with the company's reputation, and even if Google wants to fulfill the contract, it will inevitably be stopped by a mysterious force.

So the most simply thing is money.

And now Wang Yufei also knows the importance of money.

If there are tens of billions of dollars lying on the account of Changxiang Technology like Apple, his big data center plan can be launched directly.

From the main data center to the first-level data center at the provincial level to the second-level data center at the Huaxia municipal level, it is best to build three to five secret disaster recovery data backup centers......

Of course, you can also take a large amount of money to the current Quantum Intelligence Brain Division, and use the world's highest salary to poach the top talents.

Well, that's all for now.

"But gambling money doesn't necessarily have to be given. ”

Lu Yuxin smiled and replied, then rolled her eyes and said, "But if you have the confidence to win, it's not impossible." Find a third party to be fair, the two parties formally sign the VAM agreement, and after the contract officially takes effect, the amount involved in the gambling game will be deposited into the third-party account. After the verdict is announced, the neutral third party collects the management fee and transfers the money to the other party's account. Of course, this is more troublesome, and most importantly, this third party is not easy to find. ”

Wang Yufei added: "It's not just that it's hard to find a third party, but the key is that Changxiang Technology has no spare money to invest in gambling contracts now." Forget it, just gamble the money, half a billion dollars. If Google does lose, I'm still confident that they won't dare to owe money. ”

Lu Yuxin didn't say anything, picked up the phone and entered quickly.

@谷歌华夏On April 31, 2020, scientists from all over the world refereed for us, and the losing side transferred 500 million dollars to the winning side one week after the end of the bet!"

This time, the two didn't have to wait too long, and Google responded.

"@天才宇飞, bet!"
