Chapter 028 Collection of protection money

Again, artificial intelligence is very useful.

Translation is only a small piece, and in terms of software, search and system are big highlights, and it is also overwhelming for traditional enterprises.

The hardware is more time-consuming, the basic requirements are high, and there must be funds, and the "Eva" built by Anyang, which has now mastered the function of the vacuum cleaner, but it does not have hands yet.

If you want to meet Anyan's requirements, it is estimated that you can only achieve it after the base is established, or after finding a better industrial environment.

Back to the present, exclusive cooperation is very important to the investment in the base, and Chen Mengmei's negotiations with major enterprises have reached a certain number of times, and it is close to the decision stage.

It should also be him who comes out of the horse.

Focusing on the core thinking of the current short-term multi-exchange funds, exclusive licensing has become the first choice, among which Google and Facebook are seriously competitive.

Although Facebook is not as big as Google, and its revenue is less than one-fifth of Google's, its stock price is very high, and it has made achievements in the fields of social networking, news, and video.

In the long run, it has the ability to threaten Google.

If there is a competitive relationship between the two, then it is easier to negotiate the price of exclusive licensing.

An Yang looked through the latest report and looked up: "What is the offer of both parties?" ”

Chen Mengmei replied: "Google is willing to cooperate exclusively with $1.5 billion, but the traffic price of search content must be reduced; Facebook is offering $1 billion, but the content fee is as good as our standard. ”

"Google is good." An Yang thinks.

Chen Mengmei made the situation clear: "Although they offer a higher price, Facebook's content traffic is not necessarily less than Google's. ”

"I have a plan." An Yang knew that she cared about the company's career, so she revealed: "It's hard to say too bluntly just now, but now it's just you and me." ”

"I'll keep it a secret." The trust of the boss makes her very useful.

An Yang said: "I want to say that the future traffic translation profits are all false, have you seriously thought about the foundation of intelligent translators?" ”

She didn't seem to understand: "You mean...... Artificial intelligence? ”

An Yang nodded: "Although it is not comparable to a real person, it already has a certain degree of logic and can think simply under the algorithm, so its application is not only in instant translation, but also in other aspects of the Internet, intelligent services and intelligent search have prospects." ”

Linked to what An Yang said just now, Chen Mengmei understood: "So you plan to enter the intelligent derivative market and start a search business?" ”

"I have more than one hole card." Anyan gave her confidence.

"If that's the case, the cooperation with Google will not affect the company's subsequent development." Chen Mengmei clarified An Yang's thoughts.

"Yes, so the cooperation is prioritized for cash."

……

Under the attitude led by Anyang, the company's senior management agreed to a video conference with Google's senior management, and through the Internet connection, Anyang met with Larry Page, one of the founders and CEO of Google.

Although they had never met before, the two men greeted each other warmly, like a pair of old friends.

"Mr. An, it's a pleasure to talk to you."

"Me too, Mr. Page, your career is admirable."

Smart translators translate their language into each other's language and voice output. This hand allows Google experts to improve the rating.

Anyan faced Larry Page with a calm and unfazed expression throughout. In the eyes of others, there is a sense of immediacy when the two equal bigwigs are talking, and even An Yang has the overall situation on his face.

The two vice presidents were aware of this scene, but they didn't expect that Mr. An, who was casual on weekdays, would also have this side.

An Yang, who was in a suit and leather shoes, talked calmly.

When a person surpasses the natural person and assumes a transcendent profession, his mentality and vision will leap no matter what, and then in the face of the backward natural person, An Yang can't think of any point where he should be humble or inferior.

So his momentum is very strong, and Page also takes it seriously: "Mr. An, I am very interested in your company and am willing to carry out business cooperation. ”

An Yang was very direct: "I believe you are inclined to cooperate exclusively, so your bid?" ”

Page showed sincerity: "We are willing to cooperate with an exclusive cooperation price of 1.5 billion US dollars, plus the standard price of video and social network translation." ”

Previously, Google lowered the price of translated content, but in order to reach a cooperation, they took the initiative to raise the price of video and social network, which can be said to be a big concession.

It's just that An Yang shook his head: "I have no objection to content cooperation, but the price of exclusive cooperation needs to be increased." ”

Page smiled: "Mr. An, your offer?" ”

An Yang's offer: "$2.5 billion for an exclusive partnership." ”

Paige shook his head when he heard this: "Your offer is too high, it has exceeded half of the company's quarterly net profit, which will affect normal operations." ”

An Yang insisted: "After the translation service is accessed, it will bring you more users, higher activity, and the funds will be expected to be recovered within one year; Conversely, if your opponent is empowered, you can lose more than $2.5 billion. ”

"You know very well that this opportunity must not be missed, and Facebook, which is eyeing it, and Netflix, which is catching up behind it, will use this strategic weapon to surpass. In the age of the Internet, user experience is king, and instant translation is able to achieve this. ”

Page has his own reasons: "But don't forget, sir, that content translation will cost Google a lot of money, and your conclusion that you will recoup your investment in a year is not valid; As for other companies, the traffic is far inferior to ours, are you willing to give up our best customer? ”

When a smart person talks, he understands in a few words.

Anyan requoted: "$2 billion is the bottom line, but I ask Google to cooperate with my company's product promotion." ”

Page is weighing the pros and cons, and getting a cooperation will be a big leap forward for Google's traffic, user loyalty.

If the cooperation fails, they will lose their social and video businesses, and YouTube alone will make four or five billion dollars a year.

It is clear that before absolute technical suppression, there can only be sum.

And as Anyan said, they can't give up.

Eventually, Page smiled and nodded, "I think we agreed on a price." But I have a request, Google will have priority over your company's future shares and financing. ”

"Priority under the same conditions, no problem." An Yang agreed to this condition, which means that the company will sell shares and raise funds in the future, and under the same conditions, Google will be preferred.

Google has clearly not given up its stake ambitions, even its coveting of intelligent algorithms.

After An Yang readily agreed, the other party also smiled, and it can be said that Page's request met their expectations for cooperation.

Paige is a smart guy.

Of course, An Yang is not stupid, Google is a big dog and has a lot of money - he is eyeing it.

Chen Mengmei watched them congratulate each other, with a smile on her face, in the end, it was the boss, the whole meeting took less than five minutes, and the business of 2 billion yuan was negotiated.

There are 2 billion exclusive licenses, not to mention the translation business of Google content, and the annual activity of users around the world generates immeasurable traffic.

……

The cooperation is now a verbal agreement, and the details will have to wait.

This kind of cross-border large-scale cooperation can not be done in three or two words, just the drafting of the contract takes several days, but also needs to be notarized and translated into the contract, the lawyer needs to check from beginning to end, and then the signing of the enterprises and leaders of both parties.

And Larry Page has also made an itinerary for China.

Two days later, Page and his team arrived in Linhai City on a charter flight.

As a star-level billionaire, his arrival successfully attracted the attention of the media, and the Google CEO and his team went to China, which inevitably made people speculate about his purpose, focusing on the government and enterprises in Linhai City, and were suspicious, trying to find out what people associate with.

Google's return to China?

What is the purpose of a high-level visit?

Talking on the Internet, some reporters even made a special trip to follow the film, all the way to the door of An's Technology Company.

The well-known Google actually made a special trip to visit a little-known company?

In this atmosphere, Anyang will represent AY-Group (AY-Group) and the chairman of An's Technology to sign an exclusive cooperation agreement with Google, with an exclusive fee of 2 billion US dollars, to be paid in two installments; At the same time, a branch in Silicon Valley will be built for enterprise-level cooperation with Google.

On the day of the successful signing, Google cooperated with the publicity and announced the news.
