Chapter 43: The Gathering of Internet Bigwigs
Zheng Yi didn't promise any company for the time being, because he was still waiting for bigger fish, and it was not yet time to close the net.
He knows very well that his intelligent voice assistant will bring many aspects of technological changes, its value is not only an excellent APP, it has even basically stepped into the ranks of artificial intelligence, Zheng Yi believes that those bigwigs with a keen sense of smell will be able to see the technical value and great significance.
Sure enough, Baidu, 360, and Sogou also called one after another, hoping that their search engines could cooperate with Zheng Yi's intelligent voice assistant software.
You must know that Baidu has been committed to new search methods over the years, and voice search is the one that Robin Li values the most, and it is also the future development trend.
However, the biggest difficulty of voice search is also in the semantic recognition engine, with the current technology, it is not possible to recognize 100% of the user's semantics, and the recognition and retrieval of fuzzy semantics and complex semantics are very limited.
However, the technology of this software may solve the problems they face, and it also makes him see the hope that Baidu's search engine will expand again, and even shake Google's position.
Of course, it also made 360 and Sogou see the opportunity to counterattack Baidu.
Therefore, at this time, whoever grabs the opportunity for cooperation first will have a more advantage, and even whoever can call first may have one more opportunity.
Finally waited for a few big fish he was waiting for, and Zheng Yi was satisfied, so he began to call back and ask them to discuss cooperation at the Hilton Hotel tomorrow.
However, depending on the way of cooperation, Zheng Yi made appointments with people from various application market companies to the evening slot.
As for Baidu, 360 and Sogou will cooperate with the three search companies, which will be around 12 noon tomorrow.
Thinking about tomorrow's dinner, Zheng Yi thinks it will be very interesting, peers are enemies, and tomorrow's dinner will sit and watch the snipe and clam fight, and this is why he invited these people to talk together.
In the evening, the number of downloads of the intelligent voice assistant is still soaring, and the remarks on the major forums are also quickly showing a one-sided trend, and most people have changed from the beginning of complaining and discussing the topic of this anti-heaven brush god, to the discussion of the function of this intelligent voice assistant.
As for the major software evaluation media, they will naturally not miss such a hot topic, and immediately conduct evaluations and publish articles as soon as possible, and the evaluation results naturally amaze them, and various praise evaluation articles have sprung up for a while.
So the next day, the keyword of the intelligent voice assistant topped the search list, and the Weibo headline was also about an evaluation article about the intelligent voice assistant.
The birth of an epoch-making product always causes a great sensation, just like the advent of Apple's touchscreen mobile phone.
In the morning, Zheng Yi slept until he woke up naturally, then got up to wash and dress up, and then went downstairs to eat something simply, and when it was almost noon, he put on a suit unhurriedly and drove a bumblebee to the Hilton Hotel, but just came to the hotel and got out of the car, Zheng Yi met an acquaintance, his old classmate Wang Xuemei.
But if Wang Xuemei hadn't recognized Zheng Yi and greeted him first, Zheng Yi really hadn't noticed Wang Xuemei, although Wang Xuemei now has a sweet face and is very beautiful, but since Wang Xuemei finished plastic surgery, Zheng Yi sees that many girls look like Wang Xuemei, but he always can't remember Wang Xuemei's appearance.
Wang Xuemei was a little surprised to see Zheng Yi get down from Camaro again, she thought that Zheng Yi's car must have been rented, but now that so much time has passed, he actually drove this car to the Hilton Hotel again, is that the car really his, or did he rent this car again and come here to save face?
Speculating wildly in her heart, Wang Xuemei said hello to Zheng Yi and walked over, wanting to ask him what he was doing in order to verify his guess.
"Zheng Yi, what a coincidence, why are you here?" Wang Xuemei said with a smile.
"Hey, Xuemei, I'll come over to meet some customers!" Zheng Yi casually greeted, "What about you?" ”
"Haha, I'm coming over to have dinner with my husband and one of his business partners!" Wang Xuemei said with a smile.
"Welcome, sir, how many of you have, do you have any reservations?" The hotel welcome also came to receive them.
"I have a reservation! Private room No. 301! Zheng Yi said with a smile.
"It's Mr. Zheng, isn't it? This way, please! ”
Wang Xuemei's eyes flashed slightly, I didn't expect this Zheng Yi to book a private room here, the consumption of the Hilton Hotel is not low, it seems that Zheng Yi wants to see a lot of customers, but this Zheng Yi is a programmer, how to meet customers, didn't he see at this stage, he changed careers to do business.
Wang Xuemei muttered in her heart, but her face was silent, and she said with a smile: "The private room booked by my husband is also on the 3rd floor!" ”
"Haha, what a coincidence!" Zheng Yi said with a smile, and immediately entered the elevator with Wang Xuemei.
After coming to the private room, Zheng Yi looked at the time, there were still more than 20 minutes before the time he agreed with Baidu, Sogou and 360, Zheng Yi sat down casually, guessing who would be coming to discuss today?
Just as Zheng Yi was thinking, Zheng Yi suddenly received a call from 360, and it was a department manager of 360 who contacted him before, but today this voice sounded like another person.
"Hello Mr. Zheng, I'm Zhou Hongyi from 360! I'm at the hotel! ”
Zheng Yi was shocked, Zhou Hongyi, Zhou Hongyi, CEO of 360 Company, Zheng Yi never expected that this week Hongyi would come out in person, it seems that their company really attaches great importance to intelligent voice assistants, and also attaches great importance to this cooperation opportunity.
But think about it, his own software is an epoch-making black technology, and Zhou Hongyi's personal appearance is nothing.
And he has also started a business in the world of Spider-Man, opened a company, talked about investment, and met Wall Street business tycoons, so this week Hongyi is nothing in comparison.
"Hello Mr. Zhou, I'm in the 301 private room now, come over directly!" Zheng Yi said without humility or arrogance, and then walked out of the private room, no matter what, there should be politeness, so he came to the elevator to greet Zhou Hongyi's arrival.
Zhou Hongyi was very surprised when he saw Zheng Yi, seeing that Zheng Yi's face was only in his early twenties, he really didn't expect that someone who could make such a powerful voice assistant would be so young, if it was placed in the United States, it might not be so incredible, but under China's education system, it is really rare.
shook hands with Zhou Hongyi, and after a few simple greetings, Zheng Yi took Zhou Hongyi and another vice president into the private room, and it didn't take long for Zheng Yi to think about it again on the phone, and the caller turned out to be Baidu CEO - Robin Li.
Zheng Yi secretly said that this time, it seems that several companies should have guessed that the other party must attach great importance to this cooperation opportunity, so they will all come out in person to show their sincerity, and if their side is sluggish, they will probably give the opponent a chance.
"Mr. Zhou, you sit first, I'll pick up Mr. Li!" Zheng Yi said with a smile, and immediately hurriedly went to the elevator to greet Robin Li.
Soon, the elevator door opened, and Robin Li and a middle-aged man walked out.
Like Zhou Hongyi, after seeing Zheng Yi, Robin Li was also very surprised, he never expected Zheng Yi to be so young.
"Hello Mr. Li, I've really admired my name for a long time!" Zheng Yi smiled and shook hands with Robin Li!
"I really didn't expect Mr. Zheng to be so young, what a young talent, you are only in your early twenties this year!" Robin Li said with a smile.
"Haha, Mr. Li has won the award, I'm already twenty-seven! Just look a little younger! Zheng Yi said with a smile.
Just as Zheng Yi and Robin Li were greeting, Wang Xuemei also happened to come to the elevator with his husband, ready to greet their customers, but they happened to bump into the scene in front of them.
Seeing Zheng Yi and Robin Li shaking hands and laughing, Wang Xuemei's jaw of surprise was about to fall to the ground, although she is not working on the Internet, but Li Robin She still knows, she also saw Robin Li when she accompanied her husband to a business dinner before.
He never expected that the client Zheng Yi wanted to see turned out to be Robin Li, and the one who could let Robin Li go out in person would definitely not be a small person, and Robin Li actually called Zheng Yi Mr. Zheng, could it be said that Zheng Yi really opened a company, or was he suddenly promoted?
Wang Xuemei was completely stunned, why did Zheng Yi, who was originally a little impoverished, suddenly soar? If it is a beauty, maybe she can marry into a wealthy family and become a phoenix, but it is not so easy for a boy, is it possible that he is a rich woman?
Wang Xuemei speculated with her slightly incorrect three views.
"Hey, Mr. Li, I'm glad to be there!" Wang Xuemei's husband and Robin Li also knew each other, and after seeing Robin Li, they hurriedly went over to say hello and say a few words.
Zheng Yi invited Robin Li into the private room, Zhou Hongyi was not surprised to see Robin Li coming, although he was very unhappy, he still got up and shook hands with Robin Li.
If this scene is photographed by reporters, I am afraid it will become the headlines, these two business rivals actually shook hands with each other, you know, in the past few years, Baidu and 360 tearing war made many people who eat melons look at it with relish, the so-called enemies are very red when they meet, but the two bigwigs are not ordinary people after all, although they are industry competitors in private, but there should be politeness.
Soon, Sogou CEO Wang Xiaochuan also came, and the three leaders of the search industry were all there, and Zheng Yi also hurriedly greeted and served the food and wine.
Everyone chatted casually while eating, but they didn't directly say anything about cooperation, but simply asked Zheng Yi about software development and the company, Zheng Yi could only lie and say that he and some friends jointly developed it, and the company has not yet been registered.
The three bigwigs didn't get to the bottom of it, but just praised Zheng Yi for their talent again and again, and did not hesitate to praise them.
After waiting for a few people to eat, Robin Li took the lead in mentioning the great significance of the cooperation between Baidu's search engine and Zheng Yi's intelligent voice assistant, and constantly emphasized Baidu's strength between his words.
This made Zhou Hongyi a little unhappy, and hurriedly interjected, saying that his company was good, and Wang Xiaochuan naturally would not play low-key, if he didn't fight for it at this time, wouldn't he give the opportunity to others, even if it would be slim, they would do their best to fight for it, which is why they can succeed.
