An hour later, Hatsune Networks Technology Co., Ltd.'s office area.

Until the last minute before the Canadians came to the appointment, Gu Mojie was still struggling with one problem: he found that his company did not have a private conference room.

Talking to employees or brainstorming things is done next to the sofa and coffee machine in the lounge area. And this kind of occasion is obviously not suitable as a place for meeting and talking.

Don't look at Gu Mojie's tens of millions of properties, this money, doing a little Internet business may be able to support a certain corner of this sky, but in the real estate world, it is a speck of dust. Just renting a few more office buildings will be enough for long-term expenses to cause major cash flow problems for Mo Jie.

It's hard to start a business.

Gu Mojie's final solution was: meet the two Canadians in his office; As for the problem that his office also functions as a server room, he came up with a temporary solution. That is, I went to the company next door and borrowed two Chinese-style decorative screens, which were fenced in front of those server cabinets.

At ten o'clock, the two visitors arrived as scheduled according to the appointment time.

When he saw people, Gu Mojie was stunned, because he found that not all the people who came were foreigners with high noses and deep eyes.

The two men, one in his forties, had gray wavy hair and a deep hooked nose, and were distinctly Jewish. Although the other complexion is fair, but the facial features are subtle, he is a real yellow race, maybe he is Chinese, less than thirty years old.

Gu Mojie was very strange why Zhou Lixin didn't introduce this situation to him when he called him. I knew that the other party had brought Chinese, so I must be able to speak Chinese, and Gu Mojie didn't need to take Feliro by his side and borrow Feliluo's spoken language.

Gu Mojie's English level is better than that of ordinary college students, but he has not yet reached the level of direct and fluent communication with foreigners; Fei Liluo is a mixed law firm, and she learns English very hard, and there is no problem in waiting for business communication.

"Welcome to China, I don't know how many people have come, how can I help you."

The host and guest sit down. The opening remarks were said by Gu Mojie himself, and he didn't need anyone to translate these few simple sentences of English. Feliro just sat implicitly on the side of his desk, in the posture of an assistant.

The Jews were somewhat surprised by Gu Mojie's spoken English. But he didn't answer, just gave the young Chinese a look, and the Chinese spoke and communicated with Gu Mojie in Chinese.

"Mr. Gu is really young and promising, before he came to China. We really didn't expect our upcoming guests to be so young and thank you so much for taking the time to meet with us. Let me introduce myself: we are from the School of Computing and Applied Mathematics at the University of Toronto. Professor Benjil; My name is Yan Lei, Ph.D. candidate, you can also call me Alexei. ”

Yusuf is a typical Jewish name, and when Yan Lei mentions this surname, he still pronounces it in a pronunciation close to Hebrew. From the pronunciation of this word, Gu Mojie can tell that Yan Lei must be a native of Canada and a Chinese. Because all Chinese who go abroad halfway have difficulty in pronunciation habits, they often confuse the Jewish sound "Yusuf" with the Russified sound "Joseph".

When Yan Lei introduced himself. Feliro poured the dragon well and placed it on the coffee table next to the two of them; Gu Mojie made a defensive gesture and bowed slightly: "Professor Bangil, Mr. Yan, it's a pleasure to meet you." Can you tell me directly about your intentions, I'm a curious person, and I don't like to be polite and polite. ”

Yan Lei and Professor Bangil glanced at each other, but Professor Bangil spoke, naturally speaking in English, and speaking very quickly. Yan Lei was half a sentence behind. Translate there.

However, Yan Lei did this too much, because Gu Mojie didn't need him to translate at all, Gu Mojie could have understood most of it, plus he disguised Hatsune Niang on the frame of his glasses. It is completely possible to rely on Hatsune Musume to translate for him in real time as an aid. The English translation ability of Hatsune Niang's body is far superior to the "Hatsune Translation" software that Gu Mojie put on the Internet, and there is no problem in translating the spoken language synchronously.

Professor Bengil was to ask Gu Mojie if he was interested in publishing papers in international first-line academic journals.

Gu Mojie had imagined countless possibilities for the other party's intentions, but he never thought of this.

"Can you be specific? I...... I don't quite understand. You have come all the way to China. Would you like to help me get my paper published? ”

Fei Liluo also had no clue when she heard it, she was a liberal arts student, and her thesis was mixed with a diploma, and now she is a junior, and she has never been in contact with it, and she can't say a word next to her.

Yan Lei smiled crampedly, as if he was hiding his feelings, and after brewing the wording, he gave Gu Mojie a detailed explanation.

"That's right, Professor Bengil meant, I hope you can join us in one of our projects, do some ancillary work that doesn't require you to pay any extra cost, and then sign a last name in a few of our upcoming papers -- the two software you have recently put on the market, called Hatsune Input Method and Hatsune Translation, have caught our attention.

We found that the software leverages a new type of convolutional neural network design idea that is worth studying, and it is very much in line with our ongoing research work, so we sincerely hope that you will join us. Let me tell you the truth, the group of papers that are about to be published is not led by Professor Bangil, but by our dean, Professor Jeff Hinton, and it is enough to be published in journals with SCI impact factors of 30 or above, which is also good for you. ”

If it weren't for Gu Mojie's repeated homework the night before, Gu Mojie would definitely not be able to understand Yan Lei's whimsical words today, and maybe he would be bluffed. The other party flew to China, but he didn't make an appointment in advance to explain his intentions, and he had to place it as soon as possible, obviously he didn't want to give Gu Mojie too much time to think about the cause and effect, and wanted to give Gu Mojie a first impression of Amway.

At the moment, although Gu Mojie still doesn't fully understand the logic and motives of the other party, he can confirm one thing: he is very important to those Canadians, and he can grasp the conditions and stabilize the other party first.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yan, I think you have misunderstood me - I'm just an undergraduate, and I don't study computer science, I study law. As far as I know, I can get my degree by messing around with a graduation project in my senior year, even if the thesis doesn't get published in any journal; Just give it to the guru. I'm essentially a businessman, and I don't want to be a false name in academia. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm really not interested in what you're saying. ”

Hatsune Network Technology is not a public company, but a small private company, so all the relationships between the equity and various technical rights behind it are hidden behind the scenes. Yan Lei and Professor Bangil could not find enough information before coming to China. In contrast, in this case, the people of the University of Toronto are in the open, and Gu Mojie is in the dark.

Gu Mojie is still an undergraduate student, not even a science student. Both of these points were slowly investigated after they arrived in China.

I have to say that Gu Mojie's current identity does give Yan Lei some helpless illusions: before they fly across the Pacific Ocean, they are expected to meet a pedant in China, or at least a person who is looking for fame in the academic circle.

Unexpectedly, although Gu Mojie is the writer of the Hatsune input method, he has no scholarly atmosphere, and he has no interest in being famous in the academic world.

Yan Lei was in a cold sweat. Hurriedly explained: "Mr. Gu, don't worry. You also said that you are still a student and that you may not need this thesis for your degree, but as long as you join our topic, the benefits to you in terms of prestige in the future will be obvious, and you will get more advantages in school. Maybe you don't know what the concept of a journal with a SCI impact factor of 30 is. OUR PAPER WILL BE PRESENTED TO IEEE-TRANSACTIONONPATTERNANA**ISANDMACHINEINTELLIGENCE, WHICH IS A VERY GOOD JOURNAL ......"

"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in any of the best journals. I'm just a businessman. Gu Mojie interrupted Yan Lei's words, thought about it for a while, and asked, "Why do you have to pull me into the gang." Do you need to infringe on some of my software's interests? ”

Yan Lei was anxious, and hurriedly cleared up this suspicion, and Professor Bandier also chattered there, making a fuss like a vegetable market for a while.

"Mr. Gu, you misunderstood. Canada is also a country governed by the rule of law, how could we do such a thing. Your software copyright has been registered, and no one can take it away. If you just imitate your design ideas from the functional field and write another software, as long as you don't directly plagiarize your source code, it's not infringement, right?

What's more, we are only doing academic research, and there is no commercial interest behind this matter. Attribution of a paper. It has no legal effect in the economic field, and it is impossible to take away any copyright from you, nor any other economic interest, but it is only an affirmation from the academic field -- unless you intend to compete with us academically, we cannot have any conflict of interest with you in this kind of matter. ”

Academic competition, Yan Lei only mentioned this word as a last resort. Because if they have the possibility of infringing on Gu Mojie's interests, academic competition is the only possibility. If Gu Mojie is a university professor engaged in computer algorithm research today, and wants to compete academically with Jeff Hinton and Youssef Benjir and compete to be a master in a certain field, then what Jeff Hinton asked his subordinates to do is undoubtedly infringing on Gu Mojie.

But if Gu Mojie was really that kind of professor, he would never have met these two Canadians at all.

Yan Lei originally didn't want to say this word and remind Gu Mojie of it. And the reason why he said it at this moment is nothing more than based on a judgment:

Gu Mojie's previous appearance was too much like a pure businessman, and he did not have even the slightest ambition and ** in the direction of the academic circle.

"Academic competition?" This word really reminded Gu Mojie, making him silent, and his mind quickly calculated, "It seems that the other party is unlikely to seek profit from me, but should try to ask me to assist him in seeking fame." It's a pity that I don't know much about what they're studying, so I can't judge it right now. But I'm not in a hurry to say it......"

Thinking like this, Gu Mojie changed his relatively pleasant expression: "What you said today is too professional, I am not academic, so I can't make a judgment right away." Can you give me a copy of the academic project you would like me to attend? The introduction outlines it is fine, but I need a few days to think about it. ”

Yan Lei and Professor Benjill glanced at each other and shrugged helplessly. This thing was not done today, they can only blame them for not doing enough intelligence work, who let them just bump into Gu Mojie, a master who has no interest in becoming famous in the academic world, and the bargaining chips they originally expected have become flattering eyes and thrown to the blind.
