Chapter 590: Business Answers
Continue to look, this company is doing VR vision, using AI algorithms to calculate art resources in real time, and the goal is to achieve CG level visual effects through the modification of art resources of general level.
"Hey, hey, this is awesome!" Chu Yuanxi instantly became interested, this is just suitable for the game development of the "Enemies of Rome" project.
The biggest problem with VR games is that the art resources are too large when they are made into MMORPGs, because in VR games, players can observe art resources close to them, and they can observe them in a 360-degree circle.
In traditional games, in order to save art resources, many games lock the perspective and only show the player the places that need to be seen, and the camera is biased for a while, because only the places that need to be seen have resources, and other places are empty.
The current mobile game is a great improvement compared to traditional games, and MMOs dare not lock the player's perspective. But that's from a distance, and the game is filled with so-called "average-level art resources", which claims to be real-time rendering, but it's definitely unsightly when viewed in virtual reality. This kind of art, players will play freshly, and it will definitely not last long.
Last week's technology, from Chu Yuanxi's point of view, may be aiming at this potential market demand and developing corresponding technologies to solve the visual pain points of related companies. In this way, it is a toB business, and as various technologies in the VR field get closer and closer to the application level, this business will definitely get better and better.
And this company should also take into account the timetable of the 5G network, without 5G even if they make this technology, it is a big problem to monetize. A company that can think about the future is worth taking a look at.
But then again, when Pengfei Technology issued a press release, it was also very bluffing, and it was a lot of words. The problem is that Pengfei is also a "technology company", and the valuation is more than 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
So it's hard to say how much water is in it!
Just as he was thinking quickly, Yuan Yuan had already brought someone here, and as soon as Chu Yuanxi looked up, he saw a bald man in his fifties sitting on his table with Yuan Yu.
Yuan Yu didn't wait to sit down and said: "This is Shang Zhou, the president of last week's technology, the noble Shang, and the Zhou of the Zhou Dynasty." I see that you have been very interested in VR recently, and Mr. Shang's VR technology is more suitable for game development, so I will help you get to know it. ”
"Thank you, thank you, that, Yuan Alfalfa, don't just send an introduction, if you have any financial information, send me it, it's best to have an annual report and a semi-annual report. ”
"Yes, all for you. Yuan Yu sent a bunch of documents over, and Shang Zhou nodded and smiled beside him: "Mr. Chu is also from a financial background?"
This voice was relatively smooth, and Chu Yuanxi didn't dare to slack off: "Ah, no, no, I used to be a product manager." ”
"He studied science and engineering in college, and after graduation, he did Sankei, and he knew a little about apps and games. Yuan Yu said casually while looking for the report, Shang Zhou continued to maintain a polite smile, and he was full of slander in his heart, and said in his heart You are still pretending to read the financial report and not dozing off?
For the vast majority of non-specialists, the reading of financial reports is extremely boring, annoying at a glance, and it is difficult to see any clues. As for the data on the financial report, there is a lot of knowledge there, which is not something that ordinary people can understand.
At least Shang Zhou himself looks very sleepy, and he wants to doze off every time he opens his company's financial report, which is all supported by his wife, who is an accountant.
And accounting in the field of entrepreneurship is a kind of open existence, far from returning to China next week, near Changchun Changsheng, are the chairman of the board of directors from accounting to manage the development of enterprises, so the result, emmm......
But after all, he wanted to find a good buyer to sell the company at a good price, Shang Zhou's etiquette was impeccable, but he soon found that Chu Yuanxi was not easy to fool, because he always asked him technical questions. But he is not engaged in technology, he does not understand the technology itself, only understands the research and development results and functions, but this achievement is not easy to brag, so he has to talk about the support of the district and the city for his enterprise.
Chu Yuanxi looked at the financial information, and said in his heart, I didn't know that you had the support of the government? Without the government's subsidy, a technology company like you, with an E round valuation of 800 million, would have gone bankrupt a long time ago!
However, it can be seen that Shang Zhou is an entrepreneur and not a technical person, and he has a good relationship with the government and investors, so it is understandable that he does not particularly understand technology. If he doesn't brag about how advanced his company's technology is, it won't even be a defect at all.
In other words, Chu Yuanxi's question should be asked to the CTO rather than the chairman, and asking the CEO may not necessarily get an accurate answer. Just like when someone asks him how the AI robot trained by Baren Entertainment to interpret the plot, he can only answer the guarantee of "input model output matrix through deep learning", and the person who asked him also guarantees to be disappointed. But can it be said that the Pakistani people have no technology?
Shang Zhou also needs to test Chu Yuanxi. He knows the problems of his company, but he also knows that his company is not unskilled.
The problem is that the implementation of technology requires a lot of trial and error, and trial and error has a cost, labor cost, material cost, and time cost. The most fatal of the three is the cost of time, which can be done theoretically, but how long can it be done? Anyway, the money is enough to spend, and the problem is that the money is not enough to spend.
Of course, this weakness can't be shown in front of Chu Yuanxi and Yuan Yu, and when Chu Yuanxi came to an end thoughtfully, Shang Zhou pinched his mouth and asked, "Does Mr. Chu want to invest or acquire?"
"It's better to buy, at least I don't have to invest in technology companies, unless I invest a certain percentage and you can share the technology with me. ”
"That's impossible, my brother still has to settle the account. Shang Zhou was overjoyed in his heart, and asked lightly: "Then what is the purpose of your acquisition?"
"I have a big need for vision, and I have a lot of needs. Developing AR and VR games requires visual technology. ”
Yuan Yu was beside him, and his eyebrows moved, because he really couldn't understand why Chu Yuanxi was suddenly keen on VR and AR. Chu Yuanxi told her that both the Ba people and the well-off project were needed, which not only did not alleviate her doubts, but increased it a lot.
Hearing Chu Yuanxi be so honest, Shang Zhou was a little embarrassed, and said in his heart, don't blame me for being ruthless!" "Then, our company, what do you think?"
"It's hard to say this now just by looking at the information, why don't you have to take a look at it on the spot and communicate with the CTO?"
"But I need an intention to communicate with my investors. I also need to know if they are willing to give up their shares, and their psychological value. ”
"You didn't negotiate a charter before you came?"
"Yes, it's basically between 1.8 and 2.2 billion. "An offer that is not yet a trace.
"Uh...... What if you put aside the acquisition and don't acquire, and only apply for technology authorization from your company?" Chu Yuanxi quietly pointed out the cruel fact that your family has no strength to license technology to the outside world.
"It's a complicated question. Shang Zhou skillfully rounded this question in a vague way.
Chu Yuanxi asked himself, is this price high? If technology has made the technology they depicted last week, it is not high at all. Even the technical characteristics are realized. This kind of toB transaction is generally a big deal, because this kind of authorization is not that I share the code base with you, or I encrypt and package my functional modules to you, and that kind of technology will be lost in three days under the attack of reverse engineering.
