592 Turn your hands into clouds
"Gentlemen, I have good news and bad news here, which one would you like to know first?"
When Yu Xiaogoose Interactive Entertainment Technology Company was determined to be established, Love Dracula had already arrived at the hotel and gathered the big names within the alliance who came to the press conference this time, and began to inform everyone of the situation they were about to face.
Fortunately, the bigwigs who came to the press conference this time came together, although not all of them, but they were enough to represent the attitude of the richest group of funders in the alliance.
Intel, IBM, Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, these companies have accounted for half of the American high-tech companies, and they are the most arrogant financial fathers of the World Quantum Computing Technology Alliance.
Things that cost money, it is enough to nod on behalf of the bigwigs of these enterprises.
So Love Dracula did not expand the scope of the meeting, holding the plenary meeting through the video network. To be honest, he felt insecure discussing this kind of thing on the Internet in the quantum era.
Of course, the pressure on Laccula is also very high at this time.
Before, he swore that he could satisfy Lu Yuxin's appetite with five billion dollars, but now the other party is sitting on the ground and raising the price, which makes it somewhat difficult for him to do.
Although these people in front of them can be seen as dollar billionaires who can walk, it is actually difficult to deduct money from the capital represented by these people.
"Let's start with the good news, there's been enough bad news lately. Sundar Pichai was the first to speak.
Indeed, what has happened recently is not really good news for the CEO of Google.
The most important layout for the future has been surpassed by Yuxin Technology, and the quantum supremacy announced by him has made competitors a success, and what he can't afford is that his position within the company is no longer stable, and the directors who have different ideas about the future are thinking about how to kick him out of Google.
At this time, Sundar Pichai really needs some good news to cheer himself up.
Of course, no one will refute the face of Google's president for this kind of small matter that is not mixed with any interest disputes, which also makes Love Dracula feel relieved.
He could sense that everyone's mood was not very beautiful.
If the bad news were to be said first, there would be no doubt that he would be questioned first.
"The good news is that the plan has been well underway, and the other party has promised that we will start negotiations on a quantum computer technology transfer agreement within a week, and my work in Huaxia has achieved phased results, ladies and gentlemen. ”
This is really good news that boosts morale.
Everyone in the meeting was instantly refreshed.
In fact, even if Valent Dracula hadn't summoned these people to meet, they would have found the secretary general of the coalition today.
Today's quantum computer launch is too stressful, and without access to the latest technology, it could be devastating for the future of these companies.
This is not simply a quantum computer progress, but an all-round blow.
It is conceivable that when Huaxia's high-tech enterprises popularize quantum computers, Huaxia's product competitiveness will show a direct upward trend. In the field of smart phones, domestic enterprises such as Weihua and Rice, whether they are software or hardware, may be greatly improved with the help of quantum computers, and the network security crisis brought by quantum computers will not affect Chinese enterprises, but will affect all their payment systems......
What's even more terrifying is that the cost of Huaxia Hi-Tech industry may also be compressed to a lower level because of the popularity of machines.
People use quantum computer programming to produce a bunch of high-quality software every day, and the developers who serve them still have to follow the old-fashioned process, and a high-quality software development cycle is calculated in at least half a year, how will they play in the future?
Therefore, having its own quantum computer has risen to a strategic level.
Absolutely can't do without!
There is no doubt that the easiest way to obtain quantum computer technology is to import it from Yuxin Technology.
But no one believes that Wang Yufei will really be short-sighted enough to give them quantum computer technology.
It's like Intel won't license its own technology to a chip company in China. This is no longer a question of giving money, even if Huaxia is really willing to give Intel five billion dollars, it is absolutely impossible to get a complete technology license.
But now that Love Dracula has actually done it, it's a surprise.
"Are you saying that within a week, the other party will take the initiative to negotiate with us on the technology licensing project?"
"Initiative? Of course not, we need to take the initiative to apply, and then we start negotiating, but Ms. Lu spoke for us, and she assured us that in the end we would be authorized, which of course could be very costly. However, everyone has experienced the scene at today's press conference, and I believe that no matter what the cost, we must get this key technology. Of course, I have consulted the Academy of Sciences on this part, and the Academy of Sciences will also give top subsidies for the introduction of this technology. ”
Once again, Valent Dracula has good news for everyone.
"Well, Love, we already know the good news, so what's the bad news? I'm sure that with this good news giving us comfort, we can at least listen patiently to any bad news. Tim Cook asked, rubbing his brow.
"Quite simply, the lady decided that the price we were paying didn't match what we were getting, and she offered to raise the price, and we would need to pay seven billion dollars to get this technology licensing deal with her help. Love Dracula said quickly.
There was silence for a long time.
Tim Cook asked, "So you've promised her, right?"
"Yes!" Love Dracula nodded calmly and continued, "but I think it's worth it, and this woman will be in the negotiations." IMHO, we simply wouldn't have gotten our hands on this technology if it hadn't satisfied her appetite. ”
"That's two billion dollars, two billion dollars! God, the times are different, two billion is just a small number? You know? If a person has a net worth of two billion dollars, he can be in the top 100 richest people in the world!" someone immediately complained.
Love Dracula was silent.
It is inevitable to complain, after all, it is to take money out of these people's pockets, and it is the kind that cannot be repaid in the open.
But by this time Love Dracula was in no hurry.
The reaction of these people just now speaks for itself, and they will certainly accept this plan, and at most they will only verbally complain.
"Of course I know that two billion dollars is a lot of money, but let me be clear, it's a seller's market right now. The woman was greedy, but I think her greed was exactly what everyone expected. And her reason is also very good, because she is not interested in technology, so when she first came to me to talk about this matter, she did not know that Yuxin Technology's quantum computer technology had solved the technical problem of artificial intelligence, which also led to the difficulty of persuading Wang Yufei to license this technology. ”
"What's more, friends, she will be personally involved in the negotiations and will be able to facilitate this cooperation after we send her the money according to her arrangement. Friends, she directly offered 10 billion dollars, and I rejected this unreasonable offer! And then she finally talked about adding only 2 billion dollars, and she made it very clear that we were not the only ones she could choose to trade, God knows how many people in the world are eyeing this technology, if you think it's expensive, you can go and talk to that woman again, and I'll find a way to help you organize your time, how about it?"
No one was silent.
No one can afford to stop negotiating if the negotiation fails.
"Well, two billion dollars, let's share it, it shouldn't be a big problem. Sundar Pichai opened his mouth and started a round.
There is no way, Google is imperative on this technology, and of course it does not want to be sideways at this time.
"Yes, let's discuss the details of the transaction. Don't think that with this layer of insurance, the Chinese people will let us bring back the technology at a very good price. With my understanding of Ms. Lu, she will not be soft at the negotiation table. There are all variables until the deal is finalized. Tim Cook said.
It was probably the limited number of encounters with Lu Yuxin that left a deep impression on him.
"If you dare to ask for a price, she won't be afraid that we will break the net and poke this matter out?" someone questioned.
"It depends on who is more afraid of this being exposed. Do you really dare to break the net? If this thing is really going to be stabbed, do you think we can still get this technology from formal sources? Not to mention that I don't think Mr. Bolt will be able to produce enough evidence to prove that the woman really has any agreement with us before the final deal is completed. Do you know what she proposed? Before the final deal, she just got us into a quagmire of money in a quagmire project in China, but it had nothing to do with her. ”
Tim Cook said with a glance at Stephen, who asked the question.
Love Dracula was silent, and was again caught by the truth.
But in the face of the Intel president's questioning, he still explained quite awkwardly: "Yes, I can't show any evidence." All my conversations with her took place in a heavily guarded room. You will also have to be searched before entering, and it is not possible to bring any electronic devices. According to our agreement, we are absolutely not allowed to talk about any matters related to this transaction on the phone, otherwise the agreement will be cancelled directly. Of course, there is no paper document that proves that there was a transaction between us. ”
Tim Cook shrugged.
"Well, then what are you waiting for. Ladies and gentlemen, what price are you willing to pay for this opportunity? We still have about an hour to go, and I'm sure you've all received an invitation to the King's dinner. If what the lady said was true, maybe we'll get accurate information after tonight's dinner. Of course, if anyone is not interested in the technology, or feels that the cost is too high, it is okay to quit. ”
Sundar Pichai said coldly.
......
The celebration dinner after this press conference was set in the company's internal canteen of Yuxin Technology.
Not only is it an internal celebration banquet, Wang Yufei also has to entertain all the guests who came here today.
In addition to the two domestic Internet industry bigwigs who have just reached an agreement, foreign friends from afar, leaders in various industries, and elite leaders are impressively listed.
Of course, everyone didn't come for this meal, but for a meeting with Wang Yufei after the meal.
Although it was not said whether there was such a link when inviting everyone to the dinner, there was always a chance to pull down the old face.
After all, it was also a friend who went on stage during the press conference and helped Yuxin Technology stand on the scene.
After the dinner, there were indeed surprises for these foreign bigwigs.
Everyone really received an invitation to chat with Wang Yufei after the dinner.
If there is anything that is not very satisfying, it is probably that many people have received invitations, even not only these bigwigs within the International Quantum Technology Alliance, but also the partners who came to support this time, such as the presidents or representatives of the world's three major car companies. After all, these car companies also have extremely important business dealings with Yuxin Technology, and their high-energy solid-state batteries still need to be taken from Changxiang Technology, and they are jointly researching the on-board Xin system.
According to the staff, two batches of meetings were arranged after the dinner, and Wang Yufei would first meet with their foreign friends, and then discuss cooperation with domestic friends.
This information also made these bigwigs nervous, for fear that the good situation they had created with great difficulty would be picked by others.
After all, Lu Yuxin can only persuade Wang Yufei to license this technology at most, and if those companies in China can get the authorization, Yuxin Technology may not consider them.
Before you want something in particular, but you can't be sure whether you can get it, your mentality is somewhat of a gain and a loss.
The big guys are not exempt from vulgarity, but their city government is deeper, and they can hide their true thoughts well from being seen.
So when everyone sat down, it was really peaceful, everyone casually greeted, expressing their congratulations on the rapid progress of Yuxin Technology, and the happy scene was indeed like an old friend who had not seen each other for a long time and could finally talk about tea together.
"Well, I'm a person who doesn't like to say too many polite words. I also know that everyone has their own purpose in coming to see their faces this time. Let's put it this way, our quantum computer technology was not intended to be licensed, but Yu Xin convinced me. Our inventions and creations are to be used to change the world, if we cherish ourselves, it is obviously not in line with our intention before the development of this technology, and it is no different from those companies that want to make money for hundreds of years with one or two patented technologies, so after careful consideration, I think quantum computer technology can be externally licensed in exchange for funds for the next stage of the company's research and development. ”
"I have also received verbal requests from people who want to be authorized. So we can talk briefly now, if you want to get the technology license and get the complete quantum computer technical information of our company, what price are you willing to pay?"
