Chapter 39: Innovative Companies
Zhou Yunsheng put down the contract, and he said to Li Hao: "Next time there is a business negotiation, I will go with you." β
When Li Hao heard Zhou Yunsheng's words, he knew that he had reached an agreement, but Zhou Yunsheng was not satisfied.
He can listen to other people's opinions, especially Zhou Yunsheng pointed out his shortcomings, he will be very happy.
"Yunsheng, tell me what you think. We don't have a formal contract yet. Now ask the problem, work out a detailed contract, and it can be easily solved. β
Li Hao felt that his negotiations were successful, but he was not too proficient in business matters. Mistakes and omissions are inevitable.
That's why he didn't want to sign a formal contract.
Zhou Yunsheng spread the letter of intent on the coffee table and pointed to the terms of the time limit, scope and payment of the authorization.
"It's a letter of intent, but the terms are too crude. There is no operational value at all. β
"No, it's for them to manipulate." Zhou Yunsheng looked at these terms with disdain.
"What the hell is the problem, why didn't I find out." Li Hao humbly asked.
Zhou Yunsheng stretched out two fingers, and then pointed to the terms on the letter of intent.
There are two vague points in this letter of intent.
One is the time when we authorize, they want to be exclusive in the field of online social networking.
This is an exclusive clause, they say that after the official release, the time will be counted.
In line with the upfront payment clause, if they keep rolling out beta versions, we don't license them perpetually.
It's an unclear place, and it's easy to be exploited. β
Li Hao suddenly realized, and he couldn't stop nodding.
He often decompiles various software and looks at their algorithms.
There is a lot of software among them, and it has been in beta all the time.
If Tencent really does this, and it is not clear, it will be really difficult to do it at that time.
"The second point is about fees. Although you put the issue of fees on a formal contract to solve.
But I can see between the lines of this letter of intent that their company tends to pay for the whole group.
This can save a lot of costs for Tencent.
But our profits will be greatly squeezed.
I'll give you an example.
Our intelligent translation software, which can translate the video that is playing.
Perform voice translation and annotation translation of other text on the video.
This is especially true for videos that are being broadcast live and TV series that have been successfully recorded.
The cost of their translation is different, and the fee must also reflect the difference. β
Zhou Yunsheng said this, and Li Hao reacted.
Intelligent translation software for translation activities consumes the parrot's computing power.
Different translation activities consume different costs.
Different fees are charged depending on the nature of the project. This is how the company maximizes the benefits of intelligent translation software.
If you want to pay for it as a whole like Tencent, your company will lose a lot of money.
"We don't have a contract yet, we just have a rough outline. Just do what you said, revise the contract we are going to sign.
Now it's a seller's market, and this small-scale modification will not affect our cooperation. β
Li Hao immediately decided to change the company's contract in this direction.
Zhou Yunsheng saw that Li Hao agreed, and she was much more relaxed.
I was afraid that Li Hao would insist on his own ideas for the sake of face. Causing unnecessary losses to the company.
She opened the food brought back by Li Hao on the coffee table, opened the box and asked Li Hao, "What are the ingredients in here, why did you pack them back." β
"It's roast pork, and after I ate it, I felt it tasted very good.
The chef's craftsmanship is very good, and the taste is more authentic than the roast duck roasted whole lamb. I'll bring it back for you to taste. β
This is also the original intention of Li Hao to bring back the food. Of course, Zhou Yunsheng could also see his hidden meaning.
"It just so happens that I've been designing how to use parrots in depth for the company, and I haven't eaten yet. I'll save on cooking. Zhou Yunsheng said happily.
"By the way, my attention was all on this letter of intent.
I forgot to tell you that I designed the company's development model, which can make better use of the value of parrots. β
Zhou Yunsheng remembered the plan she had designed for several days. It's her hard work.
"The plan you've been writing these nights is to use parrots.
Exactly how it uses the parrot, I can only think of making it learn faster. β
Li Hao asked curiously, he wanted to know what good ideas Zhou Yunsheng had.
Zhou Yunsheng was confident and said very confidently: "I found that the company's artificial intelligence parrot has many applications.
We design projects alone, far from satisfying the parrot's abilities.
We should mobilize the enthusiasm of employees, and our company has established a cloud intelligent platform to allow employees to apply for projects and make better use of parrots. β
"Yun Sheng, you are still too naΓ―ve. I don't agree with this plan. Li Hao sternly refused.
He then explained: "This plan will gradually divide my control over the company.
Especially after the success of the project, they want to take the opportunity to occupy the equity, and we will be very passive.
And what they have developed using our AI parrots.
How do we deal with the situation of resigning and leaving. Ownership of patents is also a nuisance. β
Zhou Yunsheng kept smiling all the time and knew Li Hao's reaction well.
She said gently: "Don't object yet, you listen to me after the detailed plan, and then think about whether my plan is feasible." β
Li Hao also felt that he was a little reckless, and he listened carefully to the plan designed by Zhou Yunsheng.
Zhou Yunsheng saw Li Hao's serious look, and she carefully explained her plan.
She was inspired by the four major artificial intelligence platforms that the country is now preparing to launch.
They are not yet able to compete with the big corporations, and can only use the power of parrots. Form a cloud intelligence platform within the company. Gradually provide an external interface.
The products and patents developed by this cloud intelligence platform are owned by the company.
10% to 20% of the profit is distributed to the host of the project.
This is given as a bonus, which is an additional benefit that the company reserves the right to withdraw at any time.
After Li Hao listened to Zhou Yunsheng's explanation, he was also very satisfied.
"It's a good solution, and there are many uses that can be used to exploit the parrot's abilities.
Only three or two people are needed per group, and they can be set up in their spare time.
This can be used as a game of chess if certain items are very popular.
We can also invest directly and become a direct subsidiary of the company. β
"I'll go get something."
Zhou Yunsheng saw Li Hao agree, she returned to the bedroom and brought the plan she had designed.
Zhou Yunsheng handed the plan to Li Hao and said happily: "I not only designed the plan, but also designed the method to implement it."
This is the cloud intelligence platform I designed, I don't know much about computer networks, you see if it can be successful. β
Li Hao looked at Zhou Yunsheng's plan, and he felt that this plan was very good.
"Your solution has been optimized in some details in terms of program design. Can be successfully made. β
After they talked about it, Li Hao went back to the room to design this cloud intelligence platform.
According to her ideas, Zhou Yunsheng consulted Han Xuan again and carefully completed the authorization contract of the intelligent translation software.
It's not just Tencent, they're going to negotiate with a number of companies to design a standard contract.
