Chapter 195: Google Action!

Wall Street Journal: Google is interested in source code, a new intelligent voice assistant company, and has expressed its intention to acquire it.

"NEW YORK TIMES": XIAOYUAN'S VOICE ASSISTANT FROM XIA GUO IS NOT UNADAPTABLE, AND IT HAS EATEN A 30% SHARE OF EUROPE IN ONE GO, AND THE USAGE RATE FAR EXCEEDS THAT OF APPLE'S SIRI. Google, as the old owner of the Android system, is ready to include Xiaoyuan's voice assistant.

BBC: In the European market, Xiaoyuan's voice assistant and SIRI competed, Xiaoyuan won completely, and many users gave up Apple to join the Warwick camp. Google has shown a keen interest in Xiaoyuan's voice assistant.

The Times: Because of Google's liberalization, Xiaoyuan's voice assistant has achieved great success in Europe, but Google's information regulator in Europe said that Xiaoyuan's voice assistant still has serious shortcomings in protecting users' privacy.

Google's first step is to shout out to the media.

Cry wolf!

When Xiaoyuan's voice assistant achieved great success in Europe and was well received by various capitals, the wolf came.

Zhou Xiao knew that this was another tough battle, and its difficulty was far greater than that of Hopkins University's false accusation of Origin Technology for stealing technology.

Zhou Xiao has spent most of the past few days analyzing the situation in Europe with Ma Xin and others.

Wang Kai has handed over the European research report to Zhou Xiao.

The research report is very interesting.

Many European users are accustomed to using Xiaoyuan's voice assistant, but if they are asked to choose between Xiaoyuan's assistant and common software, they still choose the most common software.

Ma Xin said: "Google really wanted to do something to Xiaoyuan's voice assistant, but I didn't expect Google to use the media to inform us first." ”

Zhou Xiao put a few reports on the table and said: "Isn't this the usual practice of Western capital? First, major capital companies have successively announced the valuation of Xiaoyuan's voice assistant, and then Google expressed interest, is the next step to talk about acquisitions? ”

Before Zhou Xiao's words were finished, a blockbuster scientific and technological message popped up in the major consulting apps on the mobile phone.

Weibo: "Heavy! Google seeks to acquire Xiaoyuan's voice assistant for 10 billion meters. ”

Headline: "Google offers 10 billion meters to buy Xiaoyuan!" ”

The Paper: "Google bid 10 billion meters, Xiaoyuan's voice assistant is about to change hands." ”

Ma Xin also saw the pop-up news, and said angrily: "What does Google mean by this? Acquisition, acquisition! How did we not know about the acquisition of us? ”

After Wang Kai, Xue Ninglu and others saw the news, they also felt that Google was completely unkind to do this, not to mention whether the acquisition was successful, you haven't talked about the source code company yet, why should you announce the news! Moreover, the valuation of Xiaoyuan's voice assistant by major capitals in the United States is about 30 billion meters, and Google offers 10 billion, isn't this humiliating!

Xue Ninglu turned off her mobile phone and said: "No wonder the boss said that Google was originally uneasy and kind to us to open up the European market, this is to see our performance in the European market, and then price us, and finally eat us!" ”

Ma Xin has been in Warwick for many years, and it is no surprise that he has been overbearing and hard-eating by overseas capital.

He said: "This kind of thing usually happens to small companies that have just gone overseas and have some development potential, and their own strength is not strong, and it is easy to be eaten." ”

Zhou Xiao joked: "Now Xiaoyuan's voice assistant is a beautiful yellow flower girl, do you still want to greet you in advance if others want to QJ?" ”

Everyone laughed and couldn't be happy, since Google was talking directly to the media instead of just talking.

After the media reported on the media, Google officially quoted the source code company, 10 billion meters of knife is no more than no less.

In the acquisition plan, Google is to acquire the entire overseas market share of Xiaoyuan's voice assistant from the source code company, including the right to operate in overseas markets, servers, the underlying code and algorithm of the voice assistant's design, etc.

The wolf unabashedly bared his fangs.

Google is interested in the core technology of the source code company Xiaoyuan's voice assistant - artificial intelligence!

Although the source code company has never said that it is an artificial intelligence research and development company, everything that Xiaoyuan's voice assistant shows undoubtedly shows that its artificial intelligence is very strong, and its intelligence even exceeds that of some artificial intelligence laboratories in the United States and Europe.

Google's formal acquisition letter was given not only to the source code company, but also to Warwick.

The acquisition letter mentioned that after Google completes the acquisition of Xiaoyuan's voice assistant, the profit sharing between Google and Huawei will be based on the profit sharing between the source code company and Huawei, and the only term of use of the voice assistant signed by Huawei and the source code company will also be protected.

But in a year's time, Google will have the right to use voice assistants on Google's own phones and even other brands.

At that time, Warwick's competitiveness will be greatly reduced.

Among Google's mobile phones, although the sales of Pixel are relatively bad, it is its own son, and it will definitely be equipped with Xiaoyuan's voice assistant in the future.

Samsung is a godson, and it must also be equipped with Xiaoyuan's voice assistant.

As for Warwick, Xiaomi, blue-green manufacturers and other Xia Guo mobile phone brands, they are outsiders, and the overseas market will give you another word in the future.

Yu Jiangdong immediately contacted Zhou Xiao after seeing the acquisition letter.

He expected Google's move, but he didn't expect Google's move to be so fast, and Yu Jiangdong was worried about it.

If Google acquires Xiaoyuan's voice assistant, Warwick's chips and voice assistants will be stuck by the United States, which will undoubtedly make matters worse!

Zhou Xiao replied: "The source code company is studying the acquisition. ”

Without an accurate reply, Yu Jiangdong was very uneasy.

Yu Jiangdong said: "Mr. Zhou, if your company encounters any difficulties, Huawei will definitely help." ”

Yu Jiangdong has said this very bluntly, that is, he hopes that the source code company will not sell the source code company at a low price because of lack of funds.

After hanging up the phone, Xue Ninglu came over and said.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Ma, many reporters called to inquire about Google's acquisition of Xiaoyuan's voice assistant, and many continue to want to interview us."

Zhou Xiao said: "Reply I don't know." ”

This is Google's first card, and it didn't play A, so what's the hurry?

Zhou Xiao is ready to ignore Google's acquisition request this time, you say that the acquisition will be acquired? The source code company is not a street girl.

Xue Ninglu replied to reporters one by one, and wrote on the company's official website and official Weibo:

"The source code company has not received any information about Google's cooperation and is not aware of the news circulating on the Internet......"

The employees of the source code company are also a little impetuous, most of them are just college students who have just graduated and worked, and there is no pattern of Zhou Xia and Ma Xin.

They were a little shocked when they saw the news of Google's acquisition of Xiaoyuan by 10 billion meters! Although the 10 billion meter knife is more than a lot of valuation, it is also a very terrible acquisition amount!
