Unconsciously, Laihi has developed to today's volume and has become an out-and-out competitor of the prestige of the goose factory.

Regardless of whether the goose factory admits it or not, people are increasingly comparing Laihi with prestige, and Laihi's epoch-making video compression and decompression technology makes Laihi completely crush prestige in terms of the quality of video calls.

Especially with the increase of Laihi users, every time there is a multi-channel video session, the server will send the video as a sample to the Gödel system for further training, and the neural network has a higher and higher abstraction ability for this kind of video session, that is, it can fully describe the details of the face with less data.

Every week, based on the results of neural network training and evolution, Laihi compiles an updated version of the binary video compression and decompression target library, and then updates the version of the app, all of which is automated.

So the competitors desperately found that after each week passed, the quality of Laihi's video calls would be improved, and the bandwidth occupied would also decrease to a certain extent, "I can't play", after testing each version of Laihi for a month, the new boss of the core team responsible for providing underlying support for Weixin and Penguin video and audio communication submitted his resignation.

"It's like running 10,000 meters, running a lap with the strength of milk, I thought I could get closer, but who knew that when I saw it, people pulled down a hundred meters more", the turtle's senior programmer said hatefully,

"What do I have to do?"

So that morning, in a conference room in the goose factory, the bigwigs of all factions gathered together and began to discuss how to deal with this "damn heretic", in the words of Brother Xiaoma.

The product manager of the prestige team first began to complain with a sad face.

"From the perspective of the overall function of the product, the gap with our prestige is still very obvious."

"They currently only have the most basic point-to-point instant messaging and multi-person instant messaging between groups",

"But their video communication function, whether it is peer-to-peer or group video communication, the effect is really good, and it is not a little bit ahead of us, and users have questioned us many times."

"What's even more scary is that more and more users are switching from prestige to hi as soon as they're ready to start face-to-face conversation, and that's a really scary start," says the product manager.

"What does your technical team do, and the hundreds of millions of soft girl coins invested in R&D funds every year are fed to the dogs?" , an SVP (senior vice president) who has always been at odds with him is starting to go berserk,

"I can't even do a simple video communication function",

This kind of map cannon that hit one piece immediately encountered a strong backlash, and the CTO of the goose factory immediately jumped out, "Simple video communication function? ”，

"You said it easily, you must know that we have evaluated it ourselves, and we have also invited the top video and audio experts in China to evaluate, Laihi's video compression and decompression technology is more than two generations ahead of the best level of Bluestar except for them!" , CTO said angrily,

"If you say it's simple, then you can make one for me and try it."

"Just before I came to the meeting, the boss of the core AV R&D team submitted his resignation, which is the third team boss to resign in three months."

"Research and development of this kind of thing, if you can't do it, you can't do it, and it's useless to invest no amount of money."

"Okay, okay", Brother Xiaoma, who presided over the meeting, stopped the attempt of the two sides to prepare for the film, and he turned to the SVP in charge of the acquisition, "Haven't I been in contact with their people before, and they don't seem to rule out the possibility of acquisition, what is the specific situation, you can introduce it to all of us",

"Okay", this middle-aged man from Hong Kong Island, wearing white and gold-rimmed glasses, cleared his throat,

"The big backstage boss of Laihi is Professor Wang Yinan of Imperial Capital University, we all know this",

"We have not been able to contact Professor Wang directly, so we mainly talked to Chen Zihao, the actual leader of the Laihi team."

"Chen Zihao also showed no rejection of being acquired, and even a little interested", said the SVP.

For this kind of cliché, CTO said that his ears had already heard calluses, and he interrupted the SVP's tirade, "Then did you make an offer?" ”，

The SVP glanced at the CTO very unhappily, but under the gaze of Brother Xiaoma, he still answered his question, "We made an offer of two billion soft sister coins",

"Their reply is that they are still under careful consideration, and there are also some rumors in the industry that they are running out of investment and are desperately looking for financing, and we understand that they are indeed in contact with some VC (venture capital)."

"So the opinion on our side is to wait and see."

"I've heard these rumors as well, and their biggest selling point is multi-channel video sessions, so the demand for server bandwidth is indeed relatively large," said another SVP in charge of the IT infrastructure of the goose factory.

"But every day passes, their users will grow by one day, and the competitive pressure on us will also be greater than one day," said the product manager of Vixen, still worried.

"By the way, how long has our offer been made to them", Brother Xiao Ma suddenly thought of a key question,

"It's been more than a week," said SVP, who is in charge of investment.

"More than a week, how long exactly, how many days?" , Brother Xiao Ma is very dissatisfied with this vague statement,

"Well, it should be exactly two weeks by tomorrow", after thinking for a while, the SVP said,

"No, this matter can't drag on like this any longer", Brother Xiao Ma began to make a decision, "You find the person in charge of Hi, it is best to contact Professor Wang, and you should express your position as soon as possible whether you accept our acquisition or not", Brother Xiao Ma said,

"We can take a step back and not ask for a controlling stake, but at least 34% of the shares", (most company laws stipulate that if more than two-thirds of the shares are agreed, almost all the proposals can be passed, so 34% of the shares can almost be considered to have partial veto power),

"We must be given a clear answer within a week".

Turning to the core decision-making team of the goose factory, "At the same time, we are going to start preparing for the crackdown against Laihi", Xiao Ma said murderously,

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace, we can't start to be careless and even let our competitors grow because we have today's market position."

Looking around with stern eyes, "many people may have forgotten how we got our market position",

"From now on, the technical department, as well as the operations and our media relations department, are going to be in a state of imminent war",

"Also, Steven and I are looking for some partners with ambiguous attitudes, they definitely want us to be beaten to the head in the head, so that we can get the benefit of it, these guys need to be beaten up",

"Let them understand who is talking in the Chinese Internet world!"

What happened in Pengcheng, Wang Yinan didn't know about this scene of Lai Hi, of course, even if he knew, he didn't care about it, just when the goose factory was in a meeting, he was sitting next to Qian Lao, and the car passed through the small red door next to the magnificent building that Wang Yinan had seen many times on TV, and after a simple security check, Wang Yinan came to a small conference room.

There were few people in the conference room, Wang Yinan saw a familiar face, and sure enough, Chief Master Yang of the 116th Institute was also one of the invited experts, he sat next to Chief Master Yang, "When did you arrive in the imperial capital", Wang Yinan asked,

"I've been here for a few days, but you're very leisurely, and I watched the video of your public lecture at Hanjiang University last night, and the lecture was very good," said Mr. Yang.

"But I guess President Lin of Imperial Capital University won't be able to sit still, it's time to talk to you."

This Chinese person just can't chatter, it's not good to talk about it, this is not Chief Yang As soon as his voice fell, Wang Yinan's phone rang, and when he picked it up, it was indeed Principal Lin calling.

"Professor Wang, I heard that you have returned to the imperial capital? When do you have time to come to school, a few of our old guys discussed it, and we always feel that a young and promising professor like you can appropriately increase the burden on his shoulders."

You see, Chinese people are so skillful in speaking, obviously they are making people promoted and rich, but it seems that they are troublesome to you, and the burden on their shoulders is heavy, and they need you to take care of it more.

Principal Lin probably also knew that Wang Yinan should have something important, so after making an appointment with him, he hung up the phone.

"Are you going to be promoted", Chief Master Yang looked at Wang Yinan and hung up the phone, and said with a smile, "By the way, I heard that the Academy of Sciences is also urgently deliberating on the promotion of your two academicians, and I estimate that there will be a result."

"No wonder they're in a hurry, if the news comes out from the Nordic side, you two haven't even entered the Academy of Sciences, and it's too embarrassing to say it."

So this world is the icing on the cake, no one is in the snow, I think when Li Shiyao ran to Beijing to find justice, if so many people jumped out to support him back then, things might be completely different.

Just thinking about it, Wang Yinan saw Qian Lao accompany a few old people into the conference room, Chief Yang should often appear on this kind of occasion, so he was still very calm, and Wang Yinan and the other two experts he didn't know were a little nervous.

The leading elder probably saw Wang Yinan's embarrassment, and took the initiative to come over and shake Wang Yinan's hand, "This is Professor Wang Yinan of Imperial Capital University."

"Recently, my daughter has been watching the news about you every day, you are her idol, for which she is a liberal arts student, and she also took physics as an elector",

The elder's words immediately shortened the distance between him and Wang Yinan, and also resolved his embarrassment very well.

In the next few minutes, several more elders arrived one after another, and two of them even shook hands with Wang Yinan, which made several other experts envious, jealous and hateful, but there was no way, who called people hot recently.

Of course, Jackie Chan will still become a worm, it will be revealed in two days, if Jackie Chan will not say anything, in the future in the Chinese scientific community, Wang Yinan can definitely walk sideways, if he is an adult, it is estimated that life will not be so good, many people are waiting to see his jokes.

Qian Lao was the host of this meeting, and he first asked Wang Yinan to introduce the process of deciphering these eight positions, intentionally or unintentionally, which made Wang Yinan show his face greatly.

And then came the big thing, "What are we going to do?" ”
