593 Hands for rain

Is it so straightforward?

Several bigwigs looked at each other.

Love, in particular, felt that he should reassess the importance of Lu Yuxin in Wang's heart.

Sure enough, this young man in front of him is still too young, and he is still at the age of believing in love, but he doesn't know that smart women are liars, who can trick young men to death, and they are willing to give everything for each other and are afraid that they will not give enough.

Not like a middle-aged man like him.

He has always been the only one who calculates women, and women will never be able to calculate him.

There were a lot of ideas in his mind, but Love's reaction was extremely fast, and he immediately said, "Wang always really wants to resell the technology to us?"

Wang Yufei smiled and corrected: "It's not a resale, but a conditional authorization." Although I think what Yu Xin said is very reasonable, I may make the company lose the momentum of research and development, but I am not generous enough to directly give you all the technology without reservation. I've heard Yu Xin probably say that your Quantum Technology Alliance wants to introduce our quantum computer technology as a whole, and I agree in principle. But the details definitely need to be discussed, so I feel that everyone has concerns, so why don't I talk about my thoughts first. ”

All the bigwigs nodded one after another.

How to say it, they are really not easy to say at this price.

Theoretically, it is natural to pay the least price to get the coveted technology is the most perfect, but the situation is different now.

Wang Yufei is the actual controller of this technology, and the shareholding structure of Yuxin Technology determines that he does not need to be responsible to anyone, and whether the quantum computer technology is authorized is completely up to him.

What if the conditions offered are not suitable, offend this person and don't take them to play?

So Wang Yufei himself put forward the conditions first, everyone is bargaining is the king, life is so helpless, these people really never thought that one day let others make money and even look at his face.

"There are several conditions for reaching cooperation, first of all, the precondition is that Google needs to honor the $500 million bet with me on Weibo, and this Google should be fine, right? Wang Yufei asked calmly.

Sundar Pichai was stunned, and he could feel the eyes of almost everyone in the scene fall on him.

Well, he must admit that he didn't expect that at the beginning of the negotiations, Wang Yufei would jump out of such a condition, or a precondition?

What's going on?

He couldn't even bargain with Wang Yufei at this time, because no one would consider it from his standpoint. Even if he refuses at this time, he will immediately become the target of public criticism.

This is the situation now, everyone knows that quantum computer technology must be obtained, although Google is not afraid of these big factories, but if he refuses at this time, Silicon Valley is afraid that Google will not be able to tolerate it.

IBM, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Qualcomm and other companies in the alliance can not afford to attack and put pressure on Google, let alone the involvement of the American Academy of Sciences, which is led by the current secretary general of the Academy of Sciences.

At this moment, Sundar Pichai thought a lot.

Although it will be difficult for him to do it in the company, as long as he is still in Huaxia, there will be room for turnaround after all. But if he dares to refuse now, he will immediately be pushed out by the company as a scapegoat.

In less than three seconds, after going through the pros and cons in his brain, Sundar Pichai immediately nodded and replied succinctly: "Of course, I am willing to accept the loss of the bet, and I agree with the outcome of this bet on behalf of Google." ”

"Very good!" Wang Yufei nodded.

Since Google's response on Weibo, the $500 million has been regarded as its own property, and of course it is impossible to give it up.

"The second condition is simpler, the external licensing of quantum computer technology adopts a per-unit billing model. For every quantum computer you use our technology to produce it, you need to pay $2.5 billion to Yuxin Technology. At the same time, the parts and equipment required for the production of quantum computers must be purchased from the distributors designated by Yuxin Technology, otherwise Yuxin Technology does not guarantee that the quantum computers produced can be used. In addition, each quantum computer needs to pay 100 million US dollars in maintenance service fees to Yuxin Technology every year, if there is a technical problem in the use of the quantum computer, Yuxin Technology will carry out technical maintenance for you twice a year free of charge. ”

The second condition made everyone start to look at each other again.

This condition is not the same as they imagined, especially the upstream and downstream supply chain seems to be very stuck, but the price offered is really not expensive, and even unexpectedly cheap.

The licensing cost is 2 billion US dollars, and the production of a machine, according to the statement given by Wang Yufei at the press conference, is about more than 3 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 5 billion US dollars, and you can have a super quantum intelligent brain that can replace countless artificial people.

You must know that these super companies pay nearly 10 billion dollars in salaries to those programmers every year, and after owning these quantum computers, even if the programmer's position is cut by half, this money can be saved in two years.

Not to mention the increase in production, and maybe there is a way to save costs.

As for the annual maintenance service fee, of course, it will be given in the first year, but as long as they have thoroughly eaten the technology, and even on the basis of the original technology, they can still make progress, how can they still pay obediently after that?

Of course, there is a restriction in this, that is, those units within the alliance that are not financially strong may not be able to obtain authorization.

After all, two or three billion dollars is not a lot of money for those big companies in Silicon Valley, but for some laboratories that need financial allocation, it is definitely a huge amount of money.

And the labs themselves don't generate commercial value, they are more inclined to research.

All in all, this authorization method is good news for everyone on the scene.

Even Sandal felt like he saw a turnaround.

The only person who wasn't quite happy was probably Lov Dracula.

There is no doubt that this form of delegation will minimize the existence of the Alliance.

Because technology is not authorized to the alliance, and then distributed by the alliance, it is equivalent to whoever has money in the alliance can get the authorization, which makes him have to restrain those bigwigs who have huge amounts of money.

On the contrary, if he wants to make some benefits for those labs, he has to look at the faces of these rich bigwigs, such as asking each of these big companies to contribute more dues to help those physics labs that can't afford to buy licenses get a quantum computer for research.

At this moment, Love Dracula felt bitter in his heart, but he couldn't show it yet.

At this time, to express dissatisfaction is to go against all the bigwigs on the scene, as long as his brain is not withdrawn, it is impossible for him to do such a thing.

Even Sundar Pichai could only nod and admit a debt of $500 million under the pressure of everyone, how could he, the secretary general, who was even more unconfident, do something that angered the public?

You can only force a smile.

But at this moment, Love Dracula knew that the so-called World Alliance for Quantum Computing had probably died in name only under this licensing model.

He couldn't even question the supply chain when the alliance had to get the technology.

"Do you think there is anything wrong with the second condition?" asked Wang Yufei.

No one answered.

For the people on site, this condition is already very favorable, even if the designated supply chain may raise costs, but compared to their previous psychological price, it is already very generous, and of course I don't want anything to change.

"It seems that everyone thinks that there is no problem, so I will talk about the third condition, which is also the most important condition. No matter how many units you subscribe, when Yuxin Technology feels the need, you can borrow 50% of the quantum computing power from you for free, and you can't refuse at any time. ”

Wang Yufei calmly put forward the third condition.

It dawned on everyone.

No wonder the second condition was opened so generously, it turned out to be waiting for them here.

This is equivalent to paying the license fee first, and then spending money to build the machine, and half of the result still belongs to someone else.

It's really unbearable.

For these bigwigs, they are even willing to pay more, and they are not willing to share computing power with Yuxin Technology after the quantum computer is built.

The reason is very simple, this belongs to paying for the enemy's bullets.

A very simple arithmetic problem, the first batch of the alliance will purchase at least more than ten to twenty quantum computers, Apple, Google, IBM, Amazon, Intel and other large companies that are not short of money are basically standard.

Then there is a problem, the company has produced two quantum computers, one of which is produced for Yuxin Technology.

If this condition is agreed, 365 days a year, if Yuxin Technology finds out the reason why it needs computing power for 360 days, and then unconditionally borrows the computing power of its own quantum computer.

After the production of twenty quantum computers within the alliance is completed, Yuxin Technology will have eleven, no, it should be the computing power of twelve quantum computers, and they still only have the computing power of one quantum computer.

This also means that they will never be able to catch up with the computing power level of Yuxin Technology in the future.

The more they buy, the gap will be widened, and they will never be able to surpass Yuxin Technology, who can stand this?

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

thought that he had picked a big bargain, but who would have thought that Wang Yufei would become so cunning. Eighty percent of the idea was come up with by that woman, who is so yin in a normal person?

"What's the matter, do you think the last condition is not fair?" Wang Yufei asked, tilting his head.

Love Dracula has finally found his presence.

At this time, when everyone refutes this unreasonable demand because of various concerns, it is the time for him to play.

Therefore, the secretary general said in a timely manner: "There are indeed some things that need to be discussed. We all know that quantum computing power is very scarce for a long time, in this case, if Yuxin Technology has been in need of quantum computing power assistance, then wouldn't everyone have to delay their own business, to give priority to meet the needs of Yuxin Technology? ”

Wang Yufei nodded, pondered for a moment and asked, "Is that what everyone thinks?"

The bigwigs all began to nod, and when it came to their vital interests, naturally no one would hide their true thoughts, especially when someone finally said what they were worried about.

"It's true that if you don't put it on the line, it can be misleading. So let's do it, Yuxin Technology unconditionally borrows 50% of everyone's quantum computing time to limit it, and the total time per year does not add up to 180 days, what do you think?" Wang Yufei picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and asked again.

Sure enough.

Yuxin Technology: This is definitely the idea of occupying his family's quantum computing power for a long time.

The opening is to borrow 180 days a year, if you have no objection before, I am afraid that it will really be borrowed from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, there is no lower limit at all, who is to reason with this?

These bigwigs probably understand what Wang Yufei said at the press conference that quantum computing power will be the most competitive capital for technology companies in the future. To put it bluntly, Lu Yuxin was able to license quantum computer technology to Wang Yufei with this kind of intention to quickly master a large amount of quantum computing power.

When someone got to know each other more, the atmosphere in the room began to become more subtle, and many people began to exchange glances.

"180 days is still a bit more, and I think most people would still be able to accept it if it could be halved. Tim Cook said calmly.

From Wang Yufei's attitude, everyone saw hope.

This young man is obviously better than Lu Yuxin, this is indeed a good opportunity, that woman is presiding over the celebration banquet inside Yuxin Technology outside, and she is not with Wang Yufei, so it is naturally best to reach a consensus on the price issue at this time.

It's always hard to go back on their word when it comes to their identity.

Wang Yufei glanced at Tim Cook, nodded slightly, raised a hand and touched his chin, frowned and said, "I know you may think this request is a little excessive, so I decided to be more excessive, 200 days!"

Everyone was terrified.

Wang Yufei straightened his waist and said seriously: "Do you know what I have learned from dealing with you? I have learned how to be shameless for the sake of profit." ”

"I think it's necessary to remind everyone, thinking about how much you have to pay, think about what you can get! Do you think it's a loss to allocate computing power to us? I don't mind having less computing power in the early stage of quantum computing development, but not authorizing Yuxin Technology to be at least ten years ahead of you, and wait until ten years later, or after the group company you represent has changed its leader, what do you think?"

This time, no one was silent.

What do you mean?

Is this a disagreement and going to flip the table again?
