558 Being a journalist is hard

Things in the world are so coincidental, when Guo Xiaoyi was secretly dissatisfied with the domestic search engine leader, Lu Yuxin was talking to the world search engine leader.

......

"You may not know that before I met my man, I always thought that those who go to the road of entrepreneurship without hitting the south wall and not looking back can probably be divided into two kinds, one is that the ability matches the ambition, and the other is that the ability is far less than the ambition. But after meeting him, I realized that there is really a third kind of person in this world, and his ability is far greater than his ambition. ”

From November to late autumn, although the weather is sunny, it is already cool, and from the glass on the roof floor, you can look into the distance, and the huge city even has a bit of a bleak taste. Fortunately, the central air conditioning and fresh air system in the Yuxin Technology headquarters building always run 24 hours a day, no matter what the environment outside the house is, the interior is always warm like spring.

It's not extravagance, it's mainly that many laboratories in the building are running 24 hours a day.

Lu Yuxin was wearing a thin shirt at this time, sitting leisurely in the rest room on the top floor of the company, looking at the scenery outside the window, and at the same time, according to the agreement, leisurely talking on the phone with Sundar Pichai, the current head of Google.

There are still two hours left before the scheduled dinner time, which is a lot of time, and Lu Yuxin is not in a hurry.

Of course, as for whether it will disturb the rest of the other party, Lu Yuxin doesn't care too much.

In fact, with this girl's character, there are not too many people and things she cares about in this world.

......

"What do you mean?" asked Sundar Pichai directly.

After talking to Lu Yuxin for three minutes, he had to admit that he didn't like this way of communication, it was inefficient and boring.

Of course, it may also be that the Google he represents is now at a disadvantage, or the woman on the other end of the phone who can't hold it makes him unhappy, whatever the reason, he really hopes that Lu Yuxin can be more dry.

"Mr. Pichai, this is not an attitude of hoping for help. Still, I decided to answer your question. My man is not ambitious, but it just so happens that I am very ambitious. ”

Sundar Pichai was silent on the phone for a moment, not angry, maybe a little happy.

In fact, for a big guy like him, when he needs someone, he wants the other party to be ambitious. A desireless and wantless personality like Wang Yufei is the most terrifying, you don't know what he wants, and you often have an illusion that he just wants to play people to death to be happy.

Of course, the key is to be strong.

The advent of quantum computers has explained a lot of things, and Yuxin Technology has only taken half a year to go from an opponent worth treating with heart in his eyes to a behemoth that he has to look up to.

"Miss Lu, you should know that Google is a member of the World Quantum Computing Alliance, and I actually ......"

As soon as Sundar Pichai began to speak, he was directly interrupted by Lu Yuxin's cold voice: "Mr. Pichai, if you want to talk about this on the phone, I will hang up immediately." ”

Sundar Pichai was slightly stunned by this, the girl on the other side was only eighteen years old, was she? Cautious, crisp, and decisive to the point of being too mismatched for her age.

"Okay, Miss Lu, you say. ”

"It's not early, and I don't want to disturb Mr. Pichai to rest, the $500 million that Google owes to Yuxin Technology will arrive within ten days after the press conference, and we can happily continue to talk about the next step." Lu Yuxin said briskly.

"$500 million? Google owes Yuxin Technology $500 million?"

Obviously, Sundar Pichai probably didn't take the unofficial gamble of this year ago seriously, and he doesn't remember this thing at all.

"Mr. Pichai is really a noble person, on the second day of your company's quantum computer press conference, have you forgotten the bet that my man made with your company on Weibo? Within a year, Yuxin Technology's quantum computer can surpass Google, and you can bet 500 million US dollars with your company, your company will not hesitate to make it, should you plan to regret it now?" Lu Yuxin elaborated with a smile.

Hearing this, Sundar Pichai really felt a headache.

$500 million in assets is not a big amount for Google, but $500 million in cash is not a small amount of money to any company in the world, and the gambling contract on Weibo does not even have a gambling contract, of course, it is impossible to play out so casually, even if he is the CEO, even if he wants to get the support of the company opposite.

"Miss Lu, I think there may be some misunderstanding here......

"There is no misunderstanding, I specifically studied the contract signed by Changxiang Technology with Google and Amazon today, and the cooperation with the Xin system is actually mutually beneficial, not to talk about who takes advantage of whom. The conditions given by everyone are almost the same. I don't care what kind of business style you Westerners have, but Chinese people pay attention to honesty in doing business. Since Wang Yufei said on Weibo that he would bet 500 million US dollars, and your company also agreed on Weibo, it is equivalent to signing a contract in my opinion. ”

"I don't know what Google thinks about this, but Yuxin Technology takes this bet very seriously. First of all, the company made a special provision of 3.5 billion yuan for the financial department as compensation in case of losing the bet. And secondly, why do you think we're working so hard to solve the technical problems of quantum computers because we want to win this bet. Wang Yufei promised our researchers extremely high bonuses for this. ”

"If you don't want to admit it, there is no basis for cooperation and trust between us. Mr. Pichai is invited to consider this carefully. Similarly, if we include Google as a partner, or even Yuxin Technology can reach a deeper cooperation with Google, the $500 million bet is a prerequisite. I believe that if you don't value this thing, you will lose even more. ”

"Of course, if you're a bit more straightforward about this, maybe Google will get the benefits. The most important thing is that Google will definitely come out with this money, just to see how it comes out. As you just said, the World Alliance for Quantum Technology hopes to cooperate with Yuxin Technology, if Yuxin Technology proposes to the secretary general that Google first recognize this bet before it can officially sign the cooperation agreement, how do you think Mr. Kudra will choose?"

Sundar Pichai was silent for a moment, and then spoke in a somewhat bitter tone: "Ms. Lu, I even hope that they will force me to make this decision, rather than that I will take the initiative to make this decision. ”

"I understand what you mean, it's nothing more than an explanation to the board. It's actually very simple, after fulfilling the $500 million bet, Mr. Pichai will get our support, how?" Lu Yuxin said in a relaxed tone.

"What do you mean?" asked Sundar Pichai immediately.

"For example, in the future, we will only cooperate with the president who signed the Xin system contract with Changxiang Technology, and help Google win some benefits before officially signing an agreement with the World Quantum Alliance in the future, you should know that this is not a problem for us. Lu Yuxin continued to casually throw the conditions.

With a dominant position, this kind of conversation doesn't require much effort.

Of course, when these promises are really to be implemented, it is absolutely impossible to be as simple as Lu Yuxin said, just like playing a house, there must be complete wording. Otherwise, even if Yuxin Technology really wants to give Google more benefits, Sundar Pichai will most likely not dare to ask for it.

At the very least, Google must not be infamous for colluding with China.

The key issue is that Sundar Pichai doesn't want to be a thorn in the side of everyone in Silicon Valley and the industry.

"Maybe we can meet and talk. After a moment of silence, Sundar Pichai said.

"Of course, you should soon receive an electronic invitation to this Yuxin Technology quantum computer conference, and I personally look forward to your visit on behalf of the company. "Okay, goodbye, Miss Lu. ”

"Goodbye, Mr. Pichai. ”

......

If you want to fight for consumers, there is also a complete process.

It can also be said that as a professional reporter, you can't just listen to one side of the story and make biased reports, and such a program will most likely be scolded to death by the audience. After the interview, Ms. Lin, of course, had to contact Wandu and listen to what the company had to say.

Of course, to make the show more exciting and interesting, it is best to let the two sides of the conflict talk or meet directly to see what kind of sparks can be sparked.

Baoxing chose to let the two parties meet directly.

There are three reasons, Wandu's headquarters is in the capital, and it is not far from the place where we met today, and secondly, this Ms. Lin also expressed her willingness to confront Wandu face-to-face.

Of course, the most important thing is that Baoxing plans to take Guo Xiaoyi to see the world.

Seeing it with your own eyes is obviously more impactful than hearing it with your own ears.

There was also a small episode, when Ms. Lin got into the car of the central media, she was shocked fiercely.

It doesn't matter if a central media reporter goes out to cover an interview and takes a big run, but when the world is in the world, the interior of the reporter's car is so luxurious?

If this weren't on the border of the capital, the security would still be excellent, Bao Xing and which photojournalist looked quite professional, and the little girl who claimed to be an assistant looked harmless, Ms. Lin should have wondered if she had really run into a liar.

Even so, it was when the car finally drove to the Wandu Building, and Baoxing directed the photojournalist to record several sets of shots outside the building, which made Ms. Lin completely relieved.

......

In the capital, the weight of central media reporters is still very heavy.

When Baoxing and his group expressed their intention to the security guards outside the building, they finished the registration and were soon led to wait in a special reception room.

The reception room was clean and tidy, and the front desk staff brought tea after asking for it.

The next thing is to wait.

The waiting time is a bit long, in the words of the staff, they need to report the situation, and the company's external public relations department happens to be in a meeting again, so they can only bother reporters and friends.

Well, in fact, it doesn't matter if you wait.

Baoxing happened to ask Ms. Lin to cooperate in recording a few videos in the Wandu Building.

Anyway, if it can really be broadcast, these videos can be used after editing.

By the way, it can be regarded as a simple guidance and teaching for Guo Xiaoyi.

The time in front of me came quickly, and half an hour passed in a few simple questions and cameras, but then it was more than half an hour, except for the front desk staff who came to add water twice, several people were just dried here, and no one paid attention to them at all.

This shocked Guo Xiaoyi, and she was very surprised and whispered to Bao Xing: "Brother Bao, are our central media reporters so unrecognizable when they go out?"

Baoxing smiled bitterly, what did he say about it, and he replied after thinking about it: "This score, you look at the general small and medium-sized enterprises, or enterprises that value goodwill more seriously, will still take our reporters seriously." But if the company really achieves a certain scale and doesn't take goodwill seriously, or they have the confidence that they can contact us reporters at a higher level and let public opinion disappear invisibly, then of course they can take our reporters seriously. ”

"I'll tell you, it's nothing to hang us out like this. There are also reporters who go to cover some negative news and are directly detained, or even beaten, which is nothing new. The reporters from our central media are better, there are not many people in this situation, but I have also encountered people who have been beaten black. There are also colleagues who have been under house arrest, to be honest, journalists must have a conscience, it is really a high-risk profession, it is not an exaggeration. ”

Guo Xiaoyi blinked her eyes, which seemed to be a little different from what she imagined.

Can journalists still be a high-risk industry under the camera?

"But don't think it's easy to be a journalist without a conscience. Journalists who collect black money in these years are also at risk. I don't know when I will be taken into a cage when I collect the money, and if I report it backhand, I may have to be arranged to eat in prison. Relatively speaking, I personally think that people should live with a conscience, and you have more choices, so you should think carefully about the direction of employment in the future. Hey......"

Bao Xingchang said with a sigh.

In fact, Baoxing does feel that Guo Xiaoyi's choice of journalist in the future is not a reliable idea.

How hard it is to be a reporter, you need to eat and sleep in the open often at work, you can't even rest on time when there is breaking news, and staying up late is a matter of minutes.

In the future, I will take the doctoral examination in liberal arts, and it is very suitable for the girl in front of me to be a university professor directly.

The work is easy and regular, there are two long holidays a year, and there is no shortage of money, so you can go wherever you want, it is perfect.

However, Baoxing's words did not make Guo Xiaoyi give up the idea of being a reporter, but temporarily aroused the fighting spirit of the little girl.

Isn't it amazing to say that big companies are great?

Look at the guest room here, it is not at all comparable to Yuxin Technology?

If you really want to talk about it, she is also a small shareholder of a large company, and Changxiang Technology should be no worse than Wandu now, right?

At this moment, Guo Xiaoyi decided to uphold justice!
