619 Land cession and indemnity
It is rumored that Tim Cook has decided to visit China again, and although it is rumored, it is extremely credible.
Because the news came from the airport, Apple urgently applied for a route to China for Cook's private jet, and under Apple's operation, it was approved as soon as possible.
So when you watch the news, you have to watch it together.
It has just been rumored that the chairman of Yuxin Technology handed an olive branch to Tim Cook, and it is suspected that Apple is booking a plane ticket for Tim Cook and wants to send him to Huaxia to meet with Yuxin Technology, obediently, what does this mean?
Ordinary people may not associate it too much, but for those journalists, they are sensitive to the fact that there seems to be something wrong with it.
As a result, more news was concatenated, and a month ago, Facebook sued Yuxin Technology and won, followed by the recent withdrawal of three offices in Europe and the United States......
Soon some people speculated that there was a big problem with the mass production of quantum computers controlled by the West.
This is the biggest secret of the alliance now, and it is still an untouchable secret.
For the bigwigs within the alliance, this must be kept a secret, and basically this matter is only known to a few people, scientists, engineers, and the people at the top of the company who are closely related to the company, so this matter has been kept secret very well.
Who would have thought that the media reaction would be so quick that it would be guessed, and it would only be three days after the incident.
At this time, Google, which had been silent, suddenly spoke out and invited several well-known European and American media to visit one of Google's confidential data centers, where the three quantum computers are located - the No. 1 data center in Conseil, Iowa, and introduced Google's next stage of using quantum computing power for the future layout plan, which finally dispelled many people's doubts.
Of course, this is only temporary.
The anxious bigwigs set their sights on Huaxia, which is the main battlefield, and time really can't be delayed.
That's right, the bigwigs are pinning their hopes on Love Dracula and Tim Cook.
Then they got the news that Love Dracula was heading to Silicon Valley that day.
When Tim Cook rushed to China, he happened to be back in the United States.
A reincarnation.
The battlefield has changed from one to two.
......
Rewind the clock to three days ago.
After the emergency meeting of the alliance convened by Tim Cook, Love Dracula had just returned to the hotel, and before he could clean up his mood, he received a phone call, not one, several of which suggested that Yuxin Technology was a good company and could actually try it.
Through these calls, Love Dracula also got some news.
For example, Tim Cook's resignation as chairman, and the news of Google's withdrawal from the alliance.
This made Love Dracula sigh a lot.
The alliance he single-handedly created is probably about to fall apart.
Of course, there is not so much sadness.
In retrospect, it seems that from the beginning of the alliance's inception it meant that the alliance could not be long-lasting.
In the past, this kind of technical alliance was formed to raise industry barriers, so that it was difficult for latecomers to use various traps arranged by everyone to unite, so that a certain industry could maintain a relative monopoly for a certain period of time, and seek benefits for the alliance.
But this time is different, the biggest problem of the alliance is that it has never mastered the most advanced technology, and Yuxin Technology resolutely refuses to join the alliance.
Therefore, the mission of this alliance is also different, it is hoped that everyone's abilities can be combined to develop technologies that can compete with each other.
Obviously, two years without results has made too many people lose confidence.
However, at a critical moment, everyone's interests were put in danger, and Yuxin Technology was obviously sowing discord, and finally the alliance fell apart.
If there were other interests, or Google could compromise on everything, the stakes involved in the normal operation of quantum computers were too large, and Love Dracula felt that if he were in Sundar Pichai's position, he would make the same choice.
After all, you can die as a friend of the Tao, but you can't die as a poor person.
Of course, these are all small things to him, and he is thinking about whether he should join Yuxin Technology.
To say that in the headquarters building of Yuxin Technology, when Wang Yufei invited him to join Yuxin Technology, he was really moved. If it weren't for his scruples that he might offend too many people, he might have nodded and agreed at the time.
But now that everyone supports him joining Yuxin Technology and immediately restarting negotiations, he hesitated.
It's not that Love Dracula has a stubborn temperament that likes to go against the mainstream opinion, the key is that after calming down, he suddenly thought about whether he would be played to death after joining this Huaxia company so rashly, such as unloading the mill and killing the donkey.
When he finishes talking about this file, he offends those wealthy old clubs one by one, and when he turns around, Yuxin Technology doesn't care about him, you can imagine how miserable he will be in the second half of his life, and it's not even easy to say whether he can have the second half of his life.
With his understanding of Lu Yuxin, at least that woman can definitely do this kind of thing.
It was because of the visit of Guha Seth that Valent Dracula decided to give it a go.
When he saw the current secretary general of the alliance at the door, he almost didn't recognize the gray look on his face.
He was stunned for a long time before he invited, "Come in and sit down." ”
Welcoming Guha Seth into his room, the two sat opposite each other, again silent.
It was another hour before Guha Seth broke the silence: "I envy you. ”
"Huh?" Love Dracula felt a little surprised, of course, he didn't quite agree with the sentence of the other person, after all, how much pressure he took on only he knew, and what did this person who had just become secretary general know?
However, Guha Seth's next sentence made Love Dracula suddenly feel that he really should fight.
"At least you have a choice. ”
Love Dracula opened his mouth to comfort him, but he couldn't say anything.
Yes, he still has a choice, but Guha Seth has no choice.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the alliance is destined to fall apart, unless Yuxin Technology changes its mind and joins the alliance.
But even so, with the strength of Yuxin Technology, the position of the secretary general of this alliance is definitely not something that Guha Seth can touch.
It's pitiful, just one step ahead, and before he has time to see more scenery, he is destined to be pressed, and Love Dracula can relate to this feeling. You must know that it is not easy for a person who used to focus on research to change careers and engage in administration.
If it weren't for the lack of hope ahead, who would have made such a choice?
It turned out to be so cruel that he knew that Guha Set was even ten years older than him, and he basically never had that chance again, especially since he was still of Indian origin.
It's the end!
Love Dracula thought to himself.
As soon as he thought of this, the blood in his heart began to surge again.
What is he still hesitating about?
At least he still has a choice!
Five minutes later, Guha Seth left.
Five minutes and three seconds later, Love Dracula called Wang Yufei.
"Mr. Wang, thank you for your appreciation, I want to try. ”
......
Returning to the Yuxin Technology headquarters building again, Love Dracula was very firm in his heart, and only one sentence was repeatedly floating in his mind, "At least I still have a choice." ”
Yes, there is still a choice, this is his greatest luck, look at how many people, this life can only go on mediocrity, there is no choice at all?
So when he walked into Wang Yufei's chairman's office again, his expression was much more flattering.
In the morning, he met with his negotiator, and now, he wants to meet with his future boss.
"Did you figure it out?" asked Wang Yufei with a smile as he looked at Love Dracula.
Wang Yufei is not surprised by the arrival of Lov Dracula, after all, all the way to negotiations has been blocked by his own hands, and if the opponents want to solve the problem as soon as possible, they will definitely put pressure on the former secretary general.
"Yes, I think you're right, I'm still a little younger than I am retired, and I can still work for a while. Love Dracula said dryly.
"Okay. Today, the company will conduct some basic audits on you, and you try to cooperate. After the approval, I gave you the position of head of the company's future strategy department, and as I said yesterday, the first task after you took office is to be responsible for renegotiation. Here I will give you a bottom line, all previously signed contracts are null and void. If the Alliance wants us to re-locate technicians to provide technical maintenance services for their Quantum Brain, all contracts will need to be re-signed. ”
"What about the re-signed criteria?" said Love Dracula, humbly.
Wang Yufei glanced at Love Dracula, smiled and replied: "This criterion is also very simple, I can sum it up to two things, first, land cutting, and second, compensation!"
"Cut-offs?" Love Dracula felt a little confused.
"That's right, it's land cession and compensation. ”
Wang Yufei nodded, got up from his spacious boss's chair, walked to the window, turned around to look at the lively capital outside the window, and continued to speak: "The compensation is very understandable, we recalled people and re-selected people to go over, so we tossed back and forth, naturally we have to compensate." And the shutdown of these quantum intelligent brains has also delayed us a lot, and of course we have to compensate. I set a bottom line for the standard of compensation, a quantum brain is 500 million US dollars, but this is the price that can be negotiated within three days after you rush there, and if it is not extended for three days, this standard will automatically rise by 100 million US dollars. ”
Love Dracula nodded blankly, this price is really not low.
"Of course, that's the standard that I've set, and if you can talk a little bit more, for every million dollars in the total compensation, you get 30 percent of it, and for every 10 million dollars in compensation, you get 1 percent. In other words, you can talk about $600 million per quantum computer, and you get 40 percent of the extra $100 million, or $40 million. In this way, ten quantum brains are 400 million US dollars, 20 are 800 million US dollars, and after taxes, this bonus company will help you pay taxes. ”
Hearing this, Love Dracula felt his heart beat a lot faster, and even felt a dizziness in his brain.
An extra $600 million for a quantum computer is not a big deal, and it is not difficult to reduce the damage.
Of course, it is likely to offend people, but who knows?
The point is that he will become a real billionaire, the richest one percent of the world's pyramid.
What is the concept of $800 million?
In the future, he will not have to do anything, and this money will bring him millions or even tens of millions of dollars every year just by relying on financial management.
It's not too difficult to order a small private jet, according to his understanding, a Gulfstream G700 can be won for about 100 million US dollars, of course, with his net worth, it is still a bit difficult to raise two crews plus maintenance costs, but he can rent it out when he is not in use, and the rent should be enough for maintenance.
Could it be that his goal in life could be achieved so easily?
"Well, this one should be fine, right?"
"Of course, I'll do my best!" said Love Dracula, suppressing his excitement.
"Then the next step is to cut the land. Cutting land is actually very simple, the origin of this matter is the battle for computing power, cutting land is naturally to cede more computing power, my bottom line requirement is 50% of the computing power, unconditionally completely owned by us. Moreover, the unit with the quantum brain must have at least two quantum brains, if it is not enough, it must find a way to make up the licensing fee within half a year and start building a second brain. ”
"In other words, I don't care how they distribute the benefits, and I don't care whether they make quantum brains for scientific research or profit, but since they are on board, there must be a standard. In short, every two quantum brains are manufactured, one of which is made for Yuxin Technology, and the assets of the quantum brain belong to them, we don't covet them, but the computing power belongs to us, how we use it, and we must not interfere!"
Wang Yufei's voice fell, and Love Dracula was completely stunned.
This requirement for land cessation ......
He didn't know what to say for a while.
But there is one thing to say, whether it is a large company or a laboratory, this condition will inevitably explode after hearing this request.
It is difficult, and even exceeds the bottom line that many people can accept.
"This, Mr. Wang, isn't the request for cutting the land a little too ruthless?"
"Too ruthless? So you say that Facebook suddenly stopped the computing power that should belong to us? ruthless, that's relative. And Mr. Dracula, you don't think I'm really God, do you? Give you a chance to become a billionaire without you having to put in any effort? If you can't do that, why do you become a billionaire?" Wang Yufei asked rhetorically.
Love Dracula was silent.
Wang Yufei was right.
If it's just a reparation, there really doesn't need him to go out at all, and he believes that changing people to talk will have the same effect.
The real difficulty is in the land cut!
So the next moment, Love Dracula raised his head full of fighting spirit and began to express his determination: "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I will definitely negotiate this matter." For example, if I can help Changxiang Technology win 55% of the computing power, and at the same time increase the minimum number of quantum intelligence brains per unit to three, is there a reward?"
Wang Yufei looked sideways at Love Dracula, he thought that Love Dracula was very cute, so he smiled.
"Of course, if you can do what you just said, I guarantee that you will have a place in the top 100 of the Fox world's richest people within a year. ”
