Chapter 144: AI War of the Century
Angela said excitedly: "Chairman, our company and Hongfei Co., Ltd. cooperate with Sino-US Xinfei Company, which is a first-class event in the investment banking circle and the Internet circle, and the two companies invested 20 billion US dollars in the first phase, which set a new record in the history of China's investment banking.
Prior to this, because we only officially entered the Chinese market two years ago, our company's popularity and influence in China have always ranked outside the top five in the domestic investment banking industry. Now, we are a superstar in the domestic investment banking industry, and our popularity and influence have soared to the top three. ”
Lucy said lightly: "The reason why Chairman Lu and I set the investment so high is, firstly, that we want to prepare all the start-up capital required in one step, so that we can quickly establish a global R&D, production and sales network within two years; ”
Angela laughed heartily and said, "Your benchmark has reached the pinnacle of the investment banking industry as soon as it stands." The chairman is bold. ”
"The world will always remember the first place, not the second place, and we went for the first place from the beginning this time. This is a good start for the future development of Sino-US Xinfei Company, the realization of the company's eight-year plan and goals, and the future listing. ”
Angela was obviously interested in chatting, and she said with some excitement: "Chairman, do you know? Now in the circle, the story of how you and Lu Hongfei negotiated, how to reach a cooperation intention, and how to establish Sino-US Xinfei Company is becoming more and more amazing.
Some people say that you and Lu Hongfei have only met three times, and they have only talked three times before the cooperation has been finalized; some even say that you and Lu Hongfei have only met once, and they have only talked once, and the cooperation has been finalized on the same day. ”
Lucy smiled softly, apparently completely unconcerned about such rumors.
Angela's face was full of excitement, and she said with a smile: "I estimate that in the future, this story will become that you and Lu Hongfei will finalize the cooperation in 30 seconds by taking the elevator." ”
Xu Xincheng was attracted by Angela's hearty personality, and was even more infected by her enthusiasm and excitement.
However, Lucy was not affected in the slightest, she was always quiet and leisurely, and she only smiled at the obvious compliment in Angela's words. In front of Angela, who is nearly 20 years older than her and graceful, she is still so extraordinary, and that kind of bearing is far more than Angela from the inside out.
Angela continued: "Now people in the circle, as long as they mention our New World Capital and Sino-American Xinfei Company, the first action is to give a thumbs up and give a thumbs up, which has a very great effect on the expansion of the business of our branches. Chairman, we are now very confident that the business scale and profit growth rate of Hangzhou Branch this year will achieve the target you set last year, which is at least 150% higher than last year. ”
Lucy nodded and said appreciatively: "The development of the Hangzhou branch this year is very good, especially in the second quarter, which achieved a year-on-year growth of 177%, and the first month of the third quarter has also had a good start. It's really good, I'm satisfied!
Angela said gratefully: "Thank you very much for the chairman's recognition of our work. ”
"But," she paused, hesitated, and then continued, "I regret that the three college students were preempted of their skills at the end of May." ”
She paused and sighed, "Oh! what a pity!"
From the rearview mirror, Xu Xincheng saw that when he heard Angela mention this, Lucy's beautiful eyes suddenly appeared slightly, and her originally quiet and leisurely face showed a look of loss.
He was shocked and thought to himself, "What the hell is that?" in the days I've known Lucy for so long, the number of times she has shown a strange look on her face is really rare, so it shouldn't be a trivial matter. ”
Angela also immediately noticed the strange look on Lucy's face, and quickly apologized: "I'm really sorry! Chairman! I am fully responsible for this matter, and I blame my lack of information and reaction speed." ”
Lucy turned her head to look out the window, and after a while, she looked back, and the look on her face had returned to normal, she said: "We need to learn from this incident, the information age, the competition is who can obtain valuable information faster, and who can grasp the fleeting opportunity faster." ”
Angela's face looked very serious, and she said solemnly, "Yes, I will definitely learn from this incident and make sure that I don't make the same mistake again." ”
Lucy continued: "Also, we have to be clear that this $20 billion investment will only earn us two or three months of popularity, and our competitors at home and abroad, especially those in the top few of them, are not going to be left behind, in fact, they are already in full swing." ”
Angela's face was full of surprise and she said, "This ...... What do you mean?"
"This record of our investment amount will soon be surpassed by other companies. ”
"Ahh
Xu Xincheng also said "ah" in his heart.
Lucy continued to say lightly: "The AI field is the commanding heights that all large Internet companies must compete for, and in the next five to ten years, if they cannot win a place in this commanding height, it will be an extremely huge blow to most Internet companies, so they will definitely go all out and will definitely go all out."
For some companies, not being able to gain a foothold on this vantage ground can even be a devastating blow, so they will do whatever it takes to give it their all. ”
"Ah!!h
"The war of the century for AI on a global scale has begun. ”
