"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Carmen Rothschild. Watching Carmen enter the conference room, Jiang Chen got up to greet him and said with a friendly smile.

"Thank you for your enthusiasm, and it's also a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Jiang Chen, a mysterious Oriental. Smiling equally friendly, Carmen took Jiang Chen's outstretched hand and shook it.

High nose bridge, deep eye sockets, light green pupils. He looked very thin and lean. Judging from the self-cultivation of his gestures, he is indeed right about his origin.

"Haha, do I look mysterious?" Jiang Chen quipped to him with a smile.

"Of course, there are countless possibilities in you, which seem to us to be mysterious. Carmen said with a meaningful smile.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, and then smiled and quietly invited him to take a seat.

For the Rothschild family, Jiang Chen has heard a lot of news about it. It's just that most of these news are unknown, and the truth and conspiracy theories are mixed, making it difficult to determine which part is true and which part is false.

According to public information, the Rothschild banking group has a turnover of less than $10 billion a year and a profit of less than $3 billion, and it is estimated that its total capital will not exceed $30 billion, less than a fraction of the large European and American banks.

It is unclear whether the current state of the family is in decline as it seems, or whether they are just deliberately fading into obscurity, as conspiracy theories speculate. For example, Jiang Chen didn't know that the Daimler Group was one of Rothschild's industries.

Of course, Jiang Chen was not interested in doing an in-depth study of the history of the rise and fall of this family, but simply learned about the identity of Carmen Rothschild who came to negotiate business. He was invited to convene the meeting.

At this moment, the two of them are sitting opposite each other at the conference table, on which there are two cups of hot tea. and two identical documents.

"Our group is very interested in your company's achievements in the field of artificial intelligence, and I believe that Mr. Jiang has already read this letter of intent. I don't know if you have any good opinions?"

Artificial intelligence is almost the next 50 years, and this can be glimpsed from the history of the wasteland at that time. Although there have been divergences at the junctures of history since the Cold War, the development trend of civilization as a whole will not change.

In order to grasp the pulse of the times, Daimler Group has also made measures to adapt to the trend of the times, so it has found a future technology company that has emerged in the field of artificial intelligence, and explored the possibility of applying artificial intelligence to the automobile production industry.

"Of course. But can I ask a question before the topic begins?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Excuse me. Carmen said with a smile as well.

"I don't know why your company chose us? You know, our field of expertise is in the field of mobile phone software. It is no exaggeration to say that we know nothing about the automotive industry. Jiang Chen was very frank and told the truth.

Regarding Jiang Chen's confession, Carmen did not give up, shook his head and continued.

"It didn't make a difference. We have already designed the radar sensing equipment and the main control computer for AI driving, and only the software side remains. ”

"Originally, we had a partner, but the software developer we worked with had something wrong, resulting in the software and hardware not being perfectly compatible. The problem of crashing while the car is in motion. You know, what happens when you get off the highway and we terminate the contract. ”

After a pause, Carmen looked at Jiang Chen meaningfully, smiled and said.

"We are offering a high price. The requirements are equally high. ”

"Can I ask how much the price is?" Jiang Chen took a sip of the teacup and said with a smile.

"$1 billion. Carmen held out a finger and spoke slowly.

Hear Carmen's quote. Jiang Chen was secretly speechless.

Good guys, should we say that it is a big conglomerate that spans the century? It is $1 billion. The business of selling software is much more profitable than selling gold.

When he thought about it, he selectively forgot that he was now the chairman of a large company with a market value of tens of billions. The $1 billion is equivalent to a month's earnings from Future Technology.

But who doesn't like a lot of money?

However, Jiang Chen's silence was understood in Carmen's eyes as a lack of money, so he smiled slightly and said, "Of course, this price is negotiable. If Mr. Jiang is not satisfied with the price, he can ask me. ”

After all, if we can take the lead in the field of "artificial intelligence + automobile" before competitors Audi and BMW, it will undoubtedly help seize market opportunities. With a pre-tax profit of 10.8 billion euros in 14 years, the Daimham Group has a very generous liquidity.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chen slowly spoke.

"$1 billion is fine, but I have one condition. ”

He frowned slightly, but the smile quickly returned to Carmen's face.

"Oh, please. ”

"I need to add the Future Man 1.0 logo to the boot interface of the system. ”

"Is this the only one to add the Future Man 1.0 logo? I have to remind you that we have no plans to introduce social platforms into the autonomous driving system. Carmen said in a humorous tone.

"It's okay, it's just a logo, and it's less than 1 second. Jiang Chen smiled absently and said.

After only a moment's thought, Carmen nodded, then smiled and held out her hand.

"Then I think we've made a deal, right?"

"Of course. Jiang Chen also smiled and held his hand, "Happy cooperation." ”

Since it was only a minor change, Carmen also brought a professional lawyer with her when she arrived, and the contract revision was completed on the spot.

After signing the contract, Carmen beckoned to the secretary behind her, then took a briefcase from her.

"After signing a non-disclosure agreement, we will submit the specific requirements of the software and the chip sample to you, and you only need to make a program that is compatible with our chip. Although the contract is a bit tight, I am confident that with your strength, we will be able to deliver amazing results by May next year. ”

In order to catch up with the launch of new cars next year, the procedures must be submitted before May, otherwise the filing approval will have to be postponed, and the new car listing can only regrettably skip the ticket.

In May, Yao Yao's strength was too underestimated.

"Of course, by the way, are there any incentives for early delivery. Jiang Chen asked with half-joking luck.

Stunned, Carmen really didn't expect Jiang Chen to have the ability to complete it in advance. Generally, the development cycle of this kind of professional software is not very short, and it is not easy to complete it in 5 months.

"If Mr. Jiang can finish it in advance, I can give you a small gift. Carmen said with a smile.

"Can you spoil what the gift is?" Jiang Chen said in a relaxed tone.

"I heard that Mr. Jiang's car is our group's Maybach S600, I wonder if you are quite satisfied with our company's brand?" said Carmen with a mysterious smile.

"Of course, both comfort and reliability are satisfactory. ”

"If Mr. Jiang can deliver the goods before May, I can give you a limited luxury sports car, the Maybach EX in design, which is limited to five units worldwide. (To be continued......)
