Chapter 56: The Great Gift
"If you want me to say, the food in this house is okay!"
"What can it be, it's so unpalatable, I won't go in the future!"
"Is it that unpalatable?"
"Well, if I knew it was so unpalatable, I might as well order takeout!"
After eating near the company, Yang Qing and Chen Qian walked to the company leisurely, and just as the two of them expressed their opinions on whether the restaurant was good or not today, a black car slowly drove into the factory and stopped at the side of the company.
"Mercedes-Benz 600, it is estimated that someone from the investment company is here again!" Chen Qian glanced at the stopped car.
"Is it a Qiandu person?" asked Yang Qing.
"It's about 2 o'clock, could it be that they came early?" Chen Qian guessed.
"Just look at it," the two said as they stopped at the door of the company, looking at the stopped car from a distance.
A young man in the passenger seat got out of the car first, then trotted all the way to the other side of the car and opened the door of the back seat.
An old man got out of the car, this person was wearing a casual jacket on the upper body, a pair of light blue jeans on the lower body, and a pair of brown casual leather shoes.
After getting out of the car, the middle-aged man looked up at the gate and said to the young man next to him with some confusion: "Are you sure it's here?
When the young man heard this, he said: "It is indeed here, and this factory next to it is Rice Technology!"
"Oh, let's go in!"
"Well, minister, please!"
The young man in front and the old man in the back, walking towards the door of the company.
When the two came to the door, they saw Yang Qing and Chen Qian standing at the door, and the young man stepped forward and asked with a smile, "May I ask if you are employees of this company?"
"Yes, who are you?" Yang Qing nodded.
The young man smiled and said: "We are from the Qiandu Strategic Investment Department, and we have made an appointment to meet your President Yang in the afternoon, I don't know if your President Yang is here?"
"Mr. Yang!" Yang Qing is the first time to be called Mr. Yang, although he knows that this thousand degrees of people are not good, but in line with the old saying that he doesn't hit the smiling face, he still smiled and said: "I am"
"Are you Mr. Yang?" the young man was taken aback, but then introduced: "Hello Mr. Yang, I am Xiao Wang, and this is Liang Guohua from our Strategic Investment Department, Minister Liang." ”
"Hello!, Minister Liang!" Yang Qing politely greeted the middle-aged man.
Liang Guohua showed a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and said: "I have long heard that Mr. Yang is young and promising, and when I see it today, he is really a talent!"
Yang Qing smiled and shook Liang Guohua's hand and said modestly: "Minister Liang said that he laughed, I am a small boss, how can I have what you said young and promising!"
"Mr. Yang is humble, you are not a small boss, and now I don't know how many people in the venture capital circle want to send you money!" Liang Guohua said and shook Yang Qing's hand vigorously.
Yang Qing worked his hands, and said with a smile: "Is it? Then Minister Liang is here to send me money today?"
"Of course, I came with a big gift today!" Liang Guohua said as he stared at Yang Qing's eyes.
"What kind of gift is worth your effort, I really have to take a good look at it!" Yang Qing said fiercely in the face of Liang Guohua's gaze.
The eyes of the two were intertwined, and it took more than ten seconds before they separated, Liang Guohua smiled: "It's really terrifying!"
Yang Qing raised the corner of his eyes and said: "Minister Liang, let's talk inside, don't freeze you on such a cold day!"
"Hahaha!" Liang Guohua let go of his hand when he heard this, and smiled: "Okay!"
"Please!"
"Please!"
Passing through the office area, the group entered the lounge.
"The employees in Yang's head office are really young! All of them are full of vigor and vitality, which is really enviable!" Minister Liang sighed as soon as he sat down.
Yang Qing smiled when he heard this: "Minister Liang is right, our company has nothing, just a little, young!"
"It's good to be young! have ideas, have energy, and often can do a lot of things that others can't do, but sometimes, this young person is also easy to make mistakes, especially some young people who have made some achievements, often no one in their eyes, this is definitely a taboo for young people, and many start-up companies are falling on this!" Minister Liang sighed again.
Yang Qing smiled when he heard this: "Presumably, Minister Liang must have been in his eyes when he was young, right?"
Minister Liang nodded when he heard this: "That's right, when I was young, I suffered a big loss because I had no one in my eyes, and I still remember the days when I was in prison, Mr. Yang is so young, don't make the same mistake!"
Yang Qing was curious when he heard this: "Oh, Minister Liang has also been in prison, I really haven't seen it?"
Minister Liang laughed and said: "Hey, it was more than ten years ago, not to mention this bad thing, today I came to talk to Mr. Yang about the acquisition!"
"Acquisition, Minister Liang, is this going to buy my company?" said Yang Qingzhengse.
"It's not about buying your company, it's about buying your rice engine!" said Minister Liang.
"Minister Liang knows about the rice engine? It seems that Minister Liang has done a lot of work?" Yang Qing was a little surprised, this rice engine has always been called within the company, when did it spread to the outside.
Minister Liang said with a smile: "Our company is very interested in Mr. Yang's rice engine and is willing to pay 1 billion US dollars to buy a rice engine!"
Yang Qing was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "This is really a big gift?"
1 billion US dollars is converted into Chinese dollars according to the current exchange rate of 6.5062, which is 6.5 billion, which is really a huge amount of money, Yang Qing thought that Qiandu would buy it at a high price, but he didn't expect it to be at such a high price, but thinking of the current situation of Qiandu, it is normal to pay such a high price.
After entering the mobile era from the Internet, as one of the three giants of the Internet, the other two giants have got the tickets of the mobile Internet, and only Qiandu is still in the PC era, in recent years, it has been surpassed by rising stars, and almost lost the status of the three giants, in order to recover the disadvantages in the mobile era, Qiandu has invested huge manpower and material resources in the research of intelligent AI, hoping to return to the top again with intelligent AI.
At the 2017 Qiandu Conference, in order to build momentum for his own autonomous driving technology, the founder of Qiandu personally took an unmanned car to run around the fifth ring road in Kyoto, for which he was fined by the traffic police, but Qiandu's automatic driving has successfully attracted the attention of countless people and has become the hottest technology in the current AI field.
Although Qiandu has hyped up automatic driving, he has his own problems, many core people of autonomous driving technology have left, set up new autonomous driving technology companies, and compete with Qiandu, which made Qiandu once take the resignation of the executives to court, not only from internal traitors, but also external competition, especially foreign companies such as Apple, Google, Tesla, these technology giants, have invested a huge amount of money in autonomous driving technology.
This makes Qiandu feel the crisis even more, if it can't dominate in this competition, then Qiandu is likely to become a second-rate Internet company and fall from the position of giant.
Autonomous driving technology is a system technology that includes software and hardware, not only the support of software but also the support of hardware, such as radar, sensors, etc., the recognition of images in software technology is a very important link, the rice engine allows Qiandu to see a new possibility, which may allow them to get rid of the current embarrassing situation, quickly lead other manufacturers in technology.
Minister Liang saw Yang Qing's surprised expression and said lightly: "I don't know if Mr. Yang is satisfied with this price?"
Yang Qing nodded and said, "Satisfied, very satisfied, this is 1 billion US dollars!"
Minister Liang laughed when he heard this: "That ......"
Before Minister Liang's words came out, Yang Qing continued: "Although I am very satisfied, I don't sell it!"
The smile on Minister Liang's face froze, but the next moment he smiled and said, "What does Mr. Yang mean?"
Yang Qing said in a deep voice: "You can cooperate, but you can't sell it!"
"But not satisfied with the price?" asked Minister Liang.
"It has nothing to do with the price!" Yang Qing said.
"That's why you can't look down on us a thousand degrees?" the smile on Minister Liang's face disappeared.
"That's right!" Yang Qing's face turned cold.
"Okay, good, it's really young and frivolous!" Minister Liang said three times in a row, and then said to the assistant: "Let's go!"
"Minister Liang, don't you take a sip of tea before leaving?" Yang Qing said coldly.
"I can't drink your tea!" Liang Guohua said this, and slammed the door with his assistant Xiao Wang.
Yang Qing walked out of the lounge slowly, and then Chen Qian said, "Why did you leave the popularity?"
Yang Qing said with a smile: "I am desperate for those investors, so that they don't have to worry about our company every day!"
Chen Qian said worriedly: "Aren't you afraid that Qiandu will retaliate against us?"
Yang Qing laughed and said, "Qiandu is busy researching his own automatic car driving now!
"I said, why do you have to spend time with Qian, this is the giant of the Internet!" Chen Qian said puzzled.
Yang Qing explained: "It's not that I can't get along with them, but that no matter what you do on the Internet, the three giants are three mountains that can't be bypassed, either they are acquired or they go to war, and there is no third way to go." ”
