A mouth cannon is a mouth cannon after all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Especially the kind of mouth cannon that predicts the future, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable.

Before the facts are revealed, we can only "set up posts as proof" to influence the opinions of the people who eat melons, but we cannot make the enemy surrender.

Just as ten years later, when Boss Li of Du Niang's family sang "The next era is the era of artificial intelligence" at major media industry conferences, although seventy or eighty percent of them were in this intention, but two or three points were because Du Niang missed the Internet mobile outlet, and he could only say this in the interests of the people.

Similarly, Ma Teng in that time and space will only repeatedly and publicly refute on various occasions: What the hell is the era of artificial intelligence! It will take at least many years to truly mature enough to be qualified to solve the people's rigid needs, and it is still the era of mobile Internet and social coercion!

The difference between the mouth cannon between Gu Cheng and Ma Teng and the polemic between Boss Li and Ma Teng in another time and space is only that Gu Cheng is now stronger and more competitive and superior. But this advantage is definitely not to the extent that the enemy kneels and surrenders to the wind.

Then let history finally slap you in the face.

There was a lot of arguing on the Internet, and more than two-thirds of netizens did support Gu Cheng's views, and they also hated the increasingly unlimited click-through rate economy and eyeball economy of the Internet in the past two years.

After just a few days of public opinion statistics, after Zhang Yiming's rebuttal article came out, the number of people who supported the real-name system of YY accounted for at least ninety percent - this is a bit like another time and space ten years later, before the election, there are many more people verbally supporting Greece than supporting Donald.

After all, supporting Gu Cheng seems to be compelling, not a lover of the lower three roads, and elementary school students are also ashamed to publicly say that they are primary school students. As long as it is a social opinion occasion where his real name is exposed, everyone verbally supports Gu Cheng.

Only troll forums that post under their real names, and the opposite is true.

However, although the controversy was inconclusive, the miscellaneous speculations propagated by Zhang Yiming brought two side effects.

FIRST OF ALL, JOBS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE OCEAN WAS DEEPLY SENSITIVE, AND HE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW THE COMPANY'S FUTURE MOBILE PHONE PROJECT, WHICH HAD BEEN SECRETLY ESTABLISHED FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF, COULD THE IPHONE BE EXPOSED SO MANY DESIGN CONCEPTS BY GU CHENG.

You know, in Jobs's plan, this epoch-making project will take at least three years to complete, that is, it will not go public until 2007. ALTHOUGH THE CURRENT DEMONSTRATION DESIGN STAGE HAS BEEN COMPLETED, MANY SPECIFIC TECHNICAL ROUTE DETAILS HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN FINALIZED BY APPLE ITSELF, GU CHENG SAID CONCLUSIVELY HOW APPLE WILL DO IT, AND THE POT OF FUTURE INFORMATION ISLANDS AND FRAGMENTED LEARNING HAS BEEN DEDUCTED TO THE MOBILE PHONE TREND LED BY THE IPHONE WITHOUT REASON.

Isn't this a crime to be added to? Can't we make our own products look like a certain thing! They don't lead the trend of the industry, so they put the pot on Lao Tzu's head that "the industry may be brought to a lower limit in the future"? Is this not Chiguoguo's slander?

So Jobs also joined the debate at the right time, and hurriedly officially announced that Apple does have a project to develop the next generation of mobile phones, but he has all the accusations made out of nothing on YY's side.

At the end, he also asked YY Electronics if there was any commercial espionage, or wanted to fight for the unfair competition between YY-mini and Ipod, or even promote YY Electronics' new product Kindle.

Of course, there was no positive response from YY, Gu Cheng just said in an informal setting: I hope my prediction is wrong, and I hope that some companies will not follow the technical route I said.

As for commercial espionage, it is purely false, because even Apple has not done this, what commercial spy can have the ability to spy on the technical intelligence that the other party has not done and is not prepared to do?

As for the cause of that speculation, Gu Cheng completely explained that "based on his understanding of the humanity of this guy Jobs, he predicted that he would do this".

However, this controversy did indirectly make the sales of YY Electronics' new product Kindle jump in a wave. Some pretentious and compelled people above the middle class who want to test the waters of artificial intelligence consumption push have bought a Kindle in line with the idea of supporting domestic products and supporting new technology concepts.

As a result, the Kindle e-book, which has only been on the market for less than half a month, is out of stock, and the first batch of 100,000 units is sold out at the end of October. Having to discount pre-sales and schedule shipments - the scenario is similar to the kind of hunger marketing when the original generation of Xiaomi mobile phones was released.

……

The debate between Gu Cheng and Ma Teng, Sun Zhengyi will naturally be deeply concerned.

Speaking from the heart, after listening to the views of both sides, although he had regarded Gu Cheng as his mortal enemy, Sun Zhengyi was still more inclined to Gu Cheng's point of view in his heart.

There is no other reason, Sun Zhengyi's background, after all, is not the same as Ma Teng - the biggest business he invested in in the early days of the Internet was Yahoo. So far, among the Internet companies directly operated by Sun Zhengyi as president, the largest is Yahoo Fuso.

Yahoo, on the other hand, is a company that started with search. Although its search is not pure, it has more of the shadow of the push portal in the early obscurantist era of the Internet, so that it was later overturned by Google and Baidu, but its search genes will not change.

Generally speaking, people who do search always respect free will more - because searching for products are passive, and the search engine will give results only if the user takes the initiative to initiate the absolutely active action of searching.

Social networks, on the other hand, pay more attention to the view that "the free will that influences others, or tends to believe that free will does not actually exist, and everyone is easily coerced and guided by public opinion", believing that "it doesn't matter what you want, look at what's popular around you".

Regardless of whether free will really exists or not. But believing that the will of the crowd is superior to free will is the eternal common sin of all social media companies. Even if Gu Cheng does YY, it is the same, not to survive with Yao, not to die.

"It is estimated that Ma Teng makes people say this, and he doesn't want to lose too ugly on the scene, but artificial intelligence push still has to spend money on development. It is impossible to suppress Gu Cheng by social interaction alone, and without the measure of overtaking in corners, he can't win the other party at all. ”

Sun Zhengyi made his own judgment the day after the incident.

Then he contacted Ma Teng to try to match SoftBank and Tengyun for further in-depth cooperation.

Since the red envelope war at the beginning of the year and QQ being fully overtaken by YY, the cooperation between Sun Zhengyi and Ma Teng has begun.

It's just that at the beginning, the mode of cooperation was relatively superficial: Sun Zhengyi tried to help Ma Teng internationalize QQ in Fuso with the resources at hand, and then Tengyun symbolically received some investment from SoftBank Group and gave Softbank a few more points of equity.

At that time, Tengyun did not particularly need to spend money, and accepting SoftBank's investment was more a consideration of strategic alliance and absorbing SoftBank's resources, rather than for cash.

Later, QQ's internationalization process in Fuso failed, and Gu Cheng relied on various combinations with entertainment industry drafts this year, and his fans in East Asian countries were very ferocious, and he has occupied the position of the second largest chat software in addition to MSN, and has become one of the few SNS community providers in Dongyi and Fuso. Ma Teng also felt that the cooperation with Sun Zhengyi was not bright because of this setback.

Now, a new opportunity for cooperation has finally come: if Tengyun also wants to deploy artificial intelligence, on the one hand, it needs technical cooperation from search-based enterprises, and on the other hand, it also needs massive R&D funds. After all, the technical investment in artificial intelligence is more than 100 times higher than that of chat software.

And what Sun Zhengyi is best at is raising money.

"Within two years, Tengyun Company can be given no more than 500 million US dollars in convertible bond financing, and after maturity, additional follow-up funds of the same scale can be added, and Tengyun can be financed by equity mortgage, and the mortgage price can be compared with the Hong Kong stock price in the same period. ”

This is Sun Zhengyi's invitation to Tengyun on October 25 for preliminary negotiations, and the specific price and scale have not yet been discussed, just to test Tengyun's reaction.

Ma Teng's reply was very simple, he was willing to accept cooperation in this regard, and asked Sun Zhengyi to send someone to finalize the details as soon as possible.

It seems that Tengyun is really short of money, and he really wants to fight. He talks so well to the outside world, but looks down on artificial intelligence so much, but in fact he is not straight-mouthed?

Sun Zhengyi was determined and immediately asked his confidant business representative to negotiate.

……

It was about a week since Sun Zhengyi sent an offer to Ma Teng, and it was October 31, a Monday.

Mr. Sun arrived at the SoftBank Building in Roppongi on time as usual, ready to hear the results of last weekend's contact.

He is a very hardworking man and rarely takes weekends off. However, last weekend, he made a rare trip to Okinawa to sunbathe, so many things in the company are a bit out of touch and need to be understood quickly.

The reason why I went to Okinawa was because Sun Zhengyi felt that this weekend's Roppongi was so smoky that he couldn't stay for a moment - it was a weekend, and the Tokyo International Film Festival, which was about to end, was very popular, from the sub-venue of Shibuya Bunka Village to the main venue of Roppongi Hills, and even the ENTAMATURI Pavilion in Akihabara.

Roppongi Hills is a new landmark of the cultural and creative media industry and IT industry in the Roppongi area, a CBD complex that was completed and put into use in 2003, so since 2004, the main venue of the Tokyo International Film Festival has been moved here, and in 05 this year, the Akihabara venue was added because of the addition of a joint project between the Internet and the animation industry.

The headquarters of the SoftBank Group is also located near Roppongi Hills.

Sun Zhengyi didn't want to see groups of hooligans who were expecting Gu Cheng to win the championship crawling under his feet, so out of sight was clear, so he chose to go to Okinawa for a weekend vacation.

"Did Tengyun make a specific price offer for our convertible bond investment? Why haven't you sent it to me until now?" Sun Zhengyi suddenly felt angry after reading the memorandum given by the secretary.

The female secretary was very innocent and said euphemistically: "President, there are some internal directors who want to invest in Tengyun, and they will talk to you about it first, and they will suspend the negotiation process on the weekend, saying that they will discuss with you in person when you return to the company." ”

Sun Zhengyi was stunned, his contact with Tengyun was indeed done without going through the board of directors, but he asked himself that there was no problem, because he had always done this for many years. The stake he controls, as well as the two major shareholders who have always supported him hardcore, add up to more than half of SoftBank's shares.

"What's going on?" Sun Zhengyi twitched his eyebrows, his nasolabial folds twitched, and he was not angry and arrogant.
