Chapter 170: An Invitation from the Automotive Industry

Nie Shuying told Xu Yuan about the various situations in the game for a long time, and she said that she had a dry mouth, but when she looked up again, Xu Yuan listened very seriously.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that at least her efforts were still rewarding!

"Come, thirsty, aren't you? Drink some water and speak slowly," personally poured a glass of water for Nie Shuying, and Xu Yuan showed a very "harmonious" smile.

With Nie Shuying here, he is simply too trouble-free!

I have to serve this girl, if she runs away, I guess I will be exhausted to death.

"Knock knock," just then, there was a knock on the door.

After being stunned for a moment, Xu Yuan said, "Come in." ”

The door was pushed open, and a girl in professional clothes walked in, and after taking two quick steps to the two of them, the girl whispered, "Hello chairman, good manager." ”

"What's the matter?" Nie Shuying turned his head sideways and asked.

"That's right, BMW sent a representative, hoping to negotiate with us on the issue of cooperation, because the other party sent the company's general manager, so you can only come to negotiate in person."

"BMW? What are they doing here? Xu Yuan was stunned and looked up at Nie Shuying.

"I don't know," Nie Shuying also shook her head, but she seemed to remember something, and she said again: "I remember that BMW seems to have acquired Rolls-Royce, could it be that they have launched a new product and want you to test drive?" ”

Although he had some doubts, Xu Yuan still decided to receive him personally, he wanted to know what this person was going to do.

……

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Alexander Hutar," Xu Yuan got up to greet Hutar as he entered the conference room, extending his hand in a friendly manner.

"Thank you for your enthusiasm and it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Xu." Smiling equally friendly, Hutar shook Xu Yuan's outstretched hand and shook it.

"This is the general manager of our source technology, Nie Shuying." Letting go of Alexander Hutar's hand, Xu Yuan introduced Nie Shuying to him again.

"Hello, beautiful Oriental lady!"

Alexander Hutar, with that fine gentlemanly demeanor, reached out again and shook hands with Nie Shuying.

After a brief introduction, the three parties took their seats together.

At the same time, the assistants of the two put an identical document in front of the two at the same time.

Without too much greetings, after Hutar sat down in his position, he went straight to the point, "Our group is very interested in your company's achievements in the field of artificial intelligence, I believe Mr. Xu has already read this letter of intent, I don't know if you have any good opinions?" ”

What is certain is that artificial intelligence is definitely the trend of future development, and in order to grasp the pulse of the times, the BMW Group has also made measures to follow the trend of the times.

They went directly to the source technology company, which is the leader in the field of artificial intelligence, to explore the possibility of applying artificial intelligence to the automotive production industry.

However, Xu Yuan did not reply directly, but asked rhetorically: "I'm still quite curious, I don't know why your company chose us?" You know, the field we are good at is in the field of mobile phone software, and for the automotive industry, it is no exaggeration to say that we know nothing. ”

Hutar shrugged his shoulders and said, "It doesn't really have any effect, does it?" We've already designed the radar sensing device and the main control computer for AI driving, and now we're only left with the software, and you're the most suitable and best company we can think of at the moment, so I'm here. ”

"Haha," after smiling, Xu Yuan said: "I like to go straight, I can tell you that I can meet your requirements and conditions, so the price ......"

"$1 billion." Alexander Hutar got straight to the point.

Hearing the other party's offer, Xu Yuan couldn't help but sigh, it is worthy of BMW, the shot is 1 billion US dollars, and having money is anti-manufacturing!

However, Xu Yuan's mental activity at this time was understood in Hutar's eyes as a lack of money, so he smiled slightly and said: "Of course, this price is negotiable, if Mr. Xu is not satisfied with the price, you can ask me." ”

After thinking for a while, Xu Yuan slowly spoke: "$1 billion is fine, but I ask to add the logo of our source technology to the boot interface of the system." ”

After only thinking for a moment, Hutar nodded, then smiled and stretched out his hand, "Then I think our deal is done, right?" ”

"Of course." Xu Yuan also smiled and held his hand, "Happy cooperation." ”

Since it was only a minor change, Hutar also brought a professional lawyer with him when he came, and the contract revision was completed on the spot.

After signing the agreement, Hutar thought for a while and said: "Due to time constraints, in order to catch up with the launch of new cars next year, the procedures must be submitted before May, so your company's scientific researchers may need to be fortunate for a while." ”

"Don't worry," Xu Yuan smiled, it's just a small piece of software, so many scientific researchers on the Yuanxing side are bored every day, and the technology that is hundreds of years ahead of the earth is not a joke.

Somewhat amazed by Xu Yuan's self-confidence, Alexander Hutar gave a thumbs up, and then handed a booklet to Xu Yuan at the same time.

Looking at the beautifully designed pictures on the booklet, Xu Yuan looked up at Alexander Hutar with some confusion, "This is?" ”

"Rolls-Royce has designed a car with BMW designers called the Rolls-Royce Honorable, limited to five units worldwide, in an exclusive custom version, which will be available to you on the day your software is delivered."

Alexander Hutar is gone, and he is happy when he leaves, because this intelligent software is their most fatal weakness.

The emergence of the source technology company just makes up for this weakness, although it comes at a considerable price.

But so what?

Looking at Alexander Hutar who was leaving, Nie Shuying asked with some confusion: "Applying the baby system to the car, are you planning to enter the automotive industry?" ”

"There is no such plan for the time being, but it is not ruled out that there is a possibility in the future." Xu Yuan shook his head.

According to Xu Yuan's plan, Yuan Technology will naturally not let go of the big cake of the automotive industry.

But he wasn't in such a hurry.

As we all know, the quality of the car is one thing, but in a sense, what is more important is the brand that takes decades to operate.

To a certain extent, the brand of the car can show the value of the owner, and the car is not only a means of transportation, but a symbol of status.

The reason why it is proposed to put the logo of the source technology on the boot screen of the system boot is not for the purpose of advertising.

Xu Yuan is interested in the brand, as long as the brand of Source Technology is linked to the high-end market, and the brand is shown with the new luxury car launched by the BMW Group, then the next source technology will definitely be guaranteed to enter the automotive industry.

If in the near future, Xu Yuan can launch a new energy vehicle with better performance, then there will be absolutely a place for active technology in the high-end automotive industry.

Of course, these are all things in the future, the next strategic focus of source technology is not the automobile, the mobile phone industry is Xu Yuan's real idea.

Just like Boss Lei, from software to mobile phones, this is Xu Yuan's real goal.
