Chapter 170: Strategic Cooperation

Lucy said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Fengyun! ”

"But ......" Mr. Fengyun stopped talking, and looked at Lucy with a somewhat solemn expression.

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

He said with a solemn face: "In the past ten years, although Lu Hongfei and I have occasionally cooperated in the shopping mall, there is also a certain competition, but the previous competition, because the subdivisions and markets of the two companies are very different, so there has been no big head-to-head confrontation all along."

Our company and New World Capital are very good partners, only cooperation, there has been no competition, and we do not want to have any competition with your company.

But this time is different, as you know, the AI field is the commanding heights that all Internet companies must compete for, and we are also determined to win, and we must also occupy a place.

In the next few years, in the field of AI, it is inevitable that we will have a fierce competition.

Of course, our competitors are not only the Sino-American Xinfei Company, but also the domestic Kirin Company, Leiwei Company and Feihu Company, as well as the major giants in the United States, such as Singer Company, IB Company, Company A, etc. It is said that they are also stepping up their layout and preparing for war.

There are countless small and medium-sized companies at home and abroad that are interested in grabbing a corner of the AI field, and there are more than 30 companies that can be listed as competitors and pose a certain threat to us.

It's an AI war coming!!

In the past 20 years, the Internet war has been fought vigorously, the sky is dark, and a hundred deaths have been made. However, if you compare it to this AI war of the century, it can only be regarded as a small fight. ”

"Yes. Lucy still said calmly: "Because of this, I just said that we will have many opportunities to work together in the future." ”

Mr. Fengyun suddenly stirred up, and his originally solemn expression suddenly relaxed, and he became eyebrows raised, and said, "How do you say this?"

Lucy smiled slightly, still looking at Mr. Fengyun quietly and leisurely, and said calmly: "The AI division of Fengyun Company and the AI division of Hongfei Company have focused on a relatively large difference in direction and field since their inception, and there is not much competition between the two, in fact, there is a huge complementarity between the two. This is number one.

Second, as you just said, the AI war of the century is imminent, and in the face of fierce competition in the Chinese market and the international market, the best strategy for the two companies is not competition, but alliance and mutual assistance and common development. ”

"Cooperate with Hongfei Company!?cooperate with Lao Lu!?......" Mr. Fengyun frowned slightly and muttered.

"To be exact, it is a cooperation with Sino-US Xinfei, a cooperation with New World Capital, and a cooperation with me. ”

"Uh...... Mr. Fengyun hesitated, and he hesitated for a while, and then finally said, "This matter is very important, I need to think about it, and then I have to discuss it with the directors of the board."...... ”

"Of course. ”

"However, we can try to talk about it first, and we can get to know each other first. ”

"Absolutely. Just in the car, I also invited you to visit the New Era Industrial Park. I'm not just talking, I'm serious, because from the very beginning, I had the idea to make the two sides work together. ”

"Oh, that's it!" Mr. Fengyun lowered his head and thought for a moment, slowly raised the teacup, raised it in the air, put the teacup down again, raised his head, his eyes flashed with joy and expectation, and said: "Well, let's talk about it first, if we can finally reach cooperation, of course, it will be the best result; no matter what kind of cooperation, no matter what kind of cooperation, no matter what kind of cooperation, cooperation is better than confrontation." ”

"Yes, you're right!"

"If, unfortunately, we fail to reach a cooperation, I hope that we can at least reach a gentleman's agreement that will not go head-to-head with each other, so that we can avoid a big fight between us and a lose-lose situation. ”

"That's a great idea!" Lucy said with a smile.

"Okay, then it's a deal!" said Mr. Fengyun, laughing, and stood up, stretching out his hand to shake her hand.

Lucy also graciously stood up and shook hands with a smile.

When the two stood up, Xu Xincheng naturally stood up as well, and he looked at them with admiration, feeling emotion in his heart.

Just now, it only took about half an hour for Lucy to resolve Mr. Fengyun's displeasure, and also reached a preliminary cooperation intention with him, creating the possibility of cooperation between the two companies in the future.

After learning what had happened, Mr. Fengyun immediately let go of his suspicions and showed the generosity and elegance of his exemplary Confucian businessman, and his resolute choice to form an alliance with fellow practitioners showed the wisdom and determination of a leader in the business world.

If the two companies really compete in the future, it will cost an extremely staggering amount of manpower, material and financial resources in vain, and in terms of money alone, it will be as little as hundreds of millions, as many as billions, or even more.

In the past few years, price wars and subsidy wars between competitors have been common in China, such as the food delivery market and the online car-hailing market, and the arms race in terms of production and market expansion has also occurred frequently, such as the bike-sharing market. In the end, this kind of disorderly competition can only force each other into the huge whirlpool of vicious competition, and in the end it always leads to the loss of both parties and a huge waste of social resources.

The conversation between the two avoided the vicious competition between the two companies and avoided the extremely huge and senseless losses of both parties.

And, more importantly, if the two companies can really reach a cooperation and reach a strategic cooperation, then they will definitely be able to win each other's chances of winning in this AI war of the century.
