Today, the students of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Tokyo laughed miserably.

Chen Xu has finally become the most beautiful boy in the whole system.

When he went to eat in the cafeteria at noon, several overlord flowers from the computer department frequently cast "admiring" glances at him.

Chen Xu was depressed, he was actually talking about the ILSVRC, the Global Visual Identity Challenge, and the result was thought to be talking about tomorrow's AI Challenge, and the dean's face was black at that time.

Professor Tang also called and asked him if he had any resistance to tomorrow's game.

He resisted, just casually complained.

He felt like he had been a little inflated lately, and he was getting less and less able to speak.

There is a need for some introspection.

So in the afternoon he skipped class and went to the gym.

When it comes to fitness, his six lower abdominal muscles have already begun to appear, and the other two pectoralis major muscles are also ready to move, which looks like that.

Anyway, if it continues to develop like this, if you go to the swimming pool this summer, you will definitely be able to show off.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, just after getting off the bench press, Meng Xianghe called and said that he wanted to talk to him.

Twenty minutes later, Meng Xianghe rushed over from the Dehong Building.

After changing into a set of sportswear, Meng Xianghe exercised with him.

In fact, Meng Xianghe didn't have anything important to find Chen Xu, just to find someone to talk to.

Meng Xianghe graduated from university and started his own business, and the journey was smooth, and in a few years, Xingjian Company became a well-known network security company in Zhonghai City.

But Xingjian doesn't have its own core technology, and the company's business is completely obtained by running sales, so he has been kneeling. I can't stand up after kneeling for a long time.

Then this time I finally got tough, and seven or eight companies came to the door to talk about acquisitions, half of them have state-owned backgrounds, and the others are industry bigwigs, with deep backgrounds, and one finger can kill the existence of the Star Sword.

In the case of so many large enterprises taking turns to come to the door to coerce and lure, he did not let go, and did not even call Chen Xu, and finally successfully survived.

In the past two days, no company has come to the door, and no one has called to persuade him.

It's just another way to tell him what it means to toast and not eat and drink.

Two people are tired from exercising, and they sit on the floor and drink sports drinks.

Meng Xianghe gasped and said, "I'...... I've already decided to turn off the Star Sword at the end of next month. ”

Chen Xu: "Why do you turn it off...... Isn't there still some small factory business? ”

"It's boring...... Those small factories can't make money from their lists, they just make a reputation, mainly by taking over the outsourcing orders of those large companies of Chuangan Technology. ”

"What's the origin of Chuang'an Technology?"

"A relative of a powerful leader of the Municipal Cyberspace Administration of China. Then Meng Xianghe said a name.

Chen Xu nodded, "No wonder." How much are they asking?"

"Don't mention it, it sounds weird. After a pause, Meng Xianghe said: "In fact, half of my own responsibilities are also involved, and I have been busy doing business in the past few years, and I have not developed my own core technology, otherwise it would not have decayed so quickly." ”

At this moment, Yang Yue sent a hot towel, Chen Xu took it and wiped his forehead, and said, "Sell the company to me." ”

Meng Xianghe nodded, "Okay, don't say sell it, I'll give it to you." ”

Yang Yue, who was waiting for the towel in his hand next to him, laughed out loud and said, "A few people's company, are you going to give it away?"

Meng Xianghe wiped the beads of sweat that had cooled behind his ears, returned the towel to her, and said, "More than 100 people." ”

"Ah......" Yang Yue rolled her eyes in choking.

A company of more than 100 people, the wages of workers are millions per month, and the scale is not small.

Yang Yue was not embarrassed to ask what company Meng Xianghe opened, so he left with a towel.

Chen Xu said: "I said seriously. ”

Meng Xianghe smiled: "I'm not joking. ”

Chen Xu: "How many fixed assets does Xingjian have now?"

Meng Xianghe: "Counting depreciation, it may only be three or five million." The main ones are some equipment and vehicles, and the rest such as office space are rented. ”

Chen Xu was a little incredulous.

He had heard before that Xingjian's assets were hundreds of millions, but the result was only 5 million, one-twentieth of the level, no wonder people said that the bubble of Internet companies was big.

But it's right to think about it, the real value of the Internet company is its technology and business channels, and the real physical assets are not much.

The Star Sword technology is not good, and the business channel is also cut off, and the greatest value is lost.

Meng Xianghe said: "To be honest, as long as there is technology, in fact, it is very, very profitable to do enterprise database security, and you don't need to look at anyone's face, it is the big enterprises that take the initiative to come to the door."

You're sure to know that.

Like the last order of Weiye Group, at least 5 million will be given to you, right?"

"Ahem, cough, cough—" Chen Xu was drinking a drink, choking and coughing.

Meng Xianghe brought a towel over.

Chen Xu took it and covered his mouth and coughed for a while, and asked, "That...... 5 million is the market price?"

Meng Xianghe: "5 million is the price of favors. If the market price is concerned, it depends on whether you are ruthless enough, even if you want 10 million, Weiye Group can only pinch your nose and admit it. ”

Chen Xu: "............"

Meng Xianghe saw that his face was wrong, and asked, "What's the matter, he was cheated?"

Chen Xu shook his head, "...... No. ”

It's pointless to say more now, not to mention that Weiye is now paying him 30,000 yuan a month for security consultants!

Forget it, don't think about it, the liver hurts.

Then the two of them casually talked about the Star Sword.

In the end, it was decided that Xingjian would be merged into the name of Sword and Shield Technology Co., Ltd. and exist as a wholly-owned subsidiary, and then Meng Xianghe's shares in Sword and Shield would be readjusted.

From the previous 32 percent, it was reduced to 15 percent, and Lin Weiqiao's side was reduced according to the proportion.

Meng Xianghe was very satisfied with this.

Once Chen Xu turns around and develops enterprise-level data security management system products, then the 15% of the shares in his hand will definitely catch up with the value of ten or twenty star swords.

And Chen Xu is also very satisfied.

To be honest, he also thought about doing enterprise data security before, but it was too troublesome, and this field is much deeper than the security of mobile phones, and there are some deep-water giant crocodiles hidden in it.

Not to mention Venustech, 360, Sangfor, Huawei, NSFOCUS and other familiar ones, the rest like Xinhua III, AsiaInfo Security, Tianrongxin, Weishitong, Anheng Information, DP Technology, Landun Shares, any one of them is tens of billions of enterprises.

And behind these companies there are also various alliances of interests.

He, a person who did not graduate from college, rashly stretches out his hand, and the consequences may be serious.

It just so happened that although the channel of Xingjian Technology was cut off, after all, the donkey could not fall, and it had also made a name for itself in the security community of China Shipping, which could be used to test the water.

Even if you end up being crushed to death, it's not a big deal.

……

At 9 a.m. on March 16, the Global University AI Challenge Zhonghai Station was held in the Science and Technology Expo Center.

A total of 17 universities participated, including Fuzi, Jiaotong University, Tong University, China Normal University, Finance University, Foreign University, Dong University, Shanghai University, Medical University, Haida University, etc.

A total of 11 awards have been set up in the domestic station of this competition, and the champion of each award will receive a cash prize of 300,000 yuan and an award certificate;

The runner-up will be awarded an award certificate of 30,000 RMB;

The third runner-up will be awarded a certificate of 15,000 RMB.

After dragging on until 10 o'clock, the vice mayor of Zhonghai City attended the opening ceremony and made an important speech.

Then the representatives of the AI Challenge Organizing Committee and several student representatives from 985 universities took the stage to give speeches.

It was already eleven o'clock when the speech ended, and half a day passed in the morning.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xu rushed to the large conference room of a five-star hotel near the Science and Technology Expo Center, where the 9th International Symposium on Computer Natural Language Processing was being held.

It is said to be "international", that is, it sounds better, but it is actually a domestic peer exchange meeting.

In the middle of the meeting, under the recommendation of Professor Tang, Chen Xu met Professor Liu Chenglin.

What Chen Xu didn't expect was that Professor Liu Chenglin, who is well-known in the field of international artificial intelligence, turned out to be a little old man who was not good-looking, less than 1.7 meters tall, and he didn't look like he had any aura, and he was ordinary.

Professor Liu also looked him up and down, then patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "The young man is good, he looks quite energetic." ”

Chen Xu smiled reservedly.

Professor Liu said happily: "I have read both of your papers, and they are very well written. ”

Chen Xu: "Thank you for your compliment! If there are any deficiencies, please give me some advice." ”

Professor Liu was very happy, and took his shoulders as he walked, "Of course, there are shortcomings, but today I am not here to criticize you, and we don't want to praise first and then belittle that ......"

Professor Liu Chenglin really has the heart of love for talents, and he did not hesitate to praise between words, Professor Tang Tianhua, who was next to him, was shocked, he knew that he still underestimated Chen Xu, or rather, underestimated the weight of those two papers.

This is Professor Li Juanzi Li of Qingdao University, and she is an authoritative expert in knowledge graph and computing. ”

"This is Professor Wang Zhengjian Wang of Yan University, and his main direction is article analysis, which is ...... with your research direction."

Professor Liu Chenglin introduced many experts and scholars to Chen Xu, including Qing University, Yan University, Fu University, Renmin University, Jiaotong University, etc., all of whom are authoritative professors in the field of artificial intelligence.

Each one of them took the trouble to introduce Chen Xu.

It can be seen that he really likes Chen Xu very much, and vigorously promotes him with practical actions.

……

The Global AI Challenge is in full swing at the Zhonghai Science and Technology Expo Center.

China Shipping Dragon TV and CCTV Technology Channel both conducted live broadcasts.

Three chapters of the competition process are omitted here.

Five chapters of psychological description.

Passers-by were shocked by ten chapters.

A total of 55,000 words.

After three days of fierce competition, the team represented by Richard successfully entered the top five universities in Zhonghai City, and competed with the four 985 universities of Fuzhi, Jiaotong University, Tongda and China Normal University.
