While they were wandering around, the commotion between An Yang and Ali was fermenting.

The bold talk of Anyang's entry into the search field, joint e-commerce platforms, and then looking at Internet social networking is discussed by giants competing at home and abroad.

Let's start with the giants with competitive or acquisition strength: Apple and Google.

The two have been in contact for a long time, and both have shown a strong interest. At the Internet conference, after An Yang's mouth came out of An's next moves, his thoughts were different.

First of all, Apple, after Cook received the news, he held a meeting.

Although Ann's Technology's business has little to do with Apple, as a local tyrant with too much money to spend, Apple has more than $150 billion in cash reserves, which has exceeded the market value of Intel or IBM.

There is so much money overseas that there is nowhere to spend it, so it must be bought and bought.

This is also the reason why Apple is willing to offer more than Google, they are very interested in artificial intelligence technology, and they are as willing to invest as ever.

It's just that the disagreement is over whether 300 billion is stock or cash.

Now Anyan has once again released a bold statement, which is just in time for Cook's previous prediction, he once said: "The intelligent market is very large, the Chinese will not stop, they will also develop intelligent systems, intelligent programs."

Now is an example, Anyan himself admits to opening up to the realm of search.

Cook was trying to convince the directors at the meeting: "Don't you understand? Gentlemen! This guy has the killer weapon to defeat Google! ”

"If we want to expand our business, if we want to make the market value go further and create new highs, we can't miss this opportunity - the further we go, the bigger An's Technology will be."

One of the directors spoke up: "Mr. Cook, we can understand your prediction, but the problem is that you don't have enough reason to convince us to agree to the investment reference of three hundred billion cash." ”

"Intelligent business development is just a concept at the moment. There are many valuable technology concepts, but what can be realized in the end? What's more, this is just a company that has been established for less than half a year. ”

Cook frowned: "Isn't the launch of intelligent translation and intelligent assistant enough to prove the ability of An's Technology in this regard?" ”

"We are aware of the characteristics of these products, but the problem is that Ann's Technology is currently inflated, and IBM and Google have increased their investment in artificial intelligence technology."

"Can you guarantee that the adventure of 300 billion -- cash gambles will come to fruition in the future? Will there be no more opponents? It's just a seed at the moment, and it hasn't germinated yet! ”

The company has the company's concerns, and the money is not for nothing! Even Apple, which has 150 billion reserves, is still living on debt, and it is not as beautiful as it seems.

When Cook saw the expressions on the directors' faces, he knew that most of the matter was not going to pass, and he needed to watch again for a while to determine whether to follow up.

But the problem is that Cook is pessimistic: "We can't take the chance, I'm afraid Google will be the last winner." I'm willing to bet. ”

The directors laughed: "It's Google that has a conflict of interest, it has nothing to do with us, Mr. Cook, I think you need to take a break and relax." ”

Cook shook his head, none of them understood.

……

Google, which Cook thinks might win, is not optimistic at the moment.

Although according to the analysis of business think tanks, An's Technology, which has been established for only half a year, still has a long way to go if it wants to set up a global server and launch a search business that can threaten Google.

It is still unknown whether intelligent search will become a reality and whether it will be popular. Referring to the smart secretary, it's been tested for so long, hasn't it been officially released?

Page and Green, the two founders with absolute decision-making power over Google, are discussing.

Green has an idea: "From a technical and operational point of view, this business will take a long time to prepare, and what Ann said is probably more hype. ”

Page disagreed: "We can't take this risk, the opponent can not succeed, but what if the opponent succeeds?" Even if he fails, we can go further for intelligent algorithms. ”

Green didn't refute when he listened, the intelligent algorithm was the most important, and he followed the other party's meaning: "Are we going to have another high-level face-to-face discussion?" ”

"Hold on." Paige had that idea.

So after Google sent out the invitation, An Yang, who happened to be free, was also willing to have a conversation.

The two companies picked a time when both parties were daylight and had a video conversation. It's morning on the Chinese side, and it's almost late afternoon on the U.S. side.

An Yang and Chen Mengmei were all present, as were Page and Green on the other side, and it is worth mentioning that both sides had various styles of translation headphones on their ears.

The two sides on the screen greeted each other, and after greetings, they quickly came to the point, and Page relaxed the requirements: "After discussion, we are willing to invest in Ann's Technology with a standard reference of 1% of 2 billion US dollars, and require more than 25% of the shares." ”

As soon as you open your mouth, it's a big deal, and if you calculate it that way, the partnership is worth $50 billion in cash.

Chen Mengmei was a little surprised by Google's simplicity, and of course she also admired their foresight, she had used intelligent search and knew how powerful it was.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at An Yang, this genius who has made bold words but has repeatedly come true, how to decide in the face of this mountain-high fund?

But An Yang didn't think much about it, and shook his head very dryly: "I'm sorry two gentlemen, I'm glad that you are willing to raise the price, but it still hasn't met my psychological expectations." ”

Green was very puzzled: "Sir, if you insist on a cash valuation of 300 billion, the value of An's Technology will reach at least 550 billion or even higher." ”

"If being number one in the world makes you determined, I'd be happy to do so," Anyan insisted. ”

Chen Mengmei showed the smile I had guessed. At $550 billion, it is definitely the most valuable company at the moment (2014).

Green stared at him for a few seconds, then sighed: "Seriously, I am very optimistic about your company, but your offer is not sincere and cannot be accepted at all." ”

Anyan said, "Then let's make a bet, gentlemen?" ”

A few people on the other side listened, what does this guy want to play?

An Yang continued: "Bet, your unacceptability only exists for half a year, and you will agree sooner or later after half a year." ”

The people on the other side couldn't help laughing, and Green said: "If you set up a company for one year, you have the ambition to reach a height of 550 billion, I personally don't believe it." ”

An Yang got an answer and looked to the other side: "Mr. Page? ”

Page also shook his head: "If you say three or five years, I may bet on your side." ”

"Miss Chen?" An Yang looked at Chen Mengmei beside him.

She nodded: "Of course I bet on you, I believe it." ”

An Yang smiled and said, "Okay, gentlemen and ladies, in half a year, maybe not half a year, two or three months can witness the outcome of our bet." ”

Google said, "We'll wait for that day." ”

The second "love and affection" cooperation once again collapsed because of money. In Google's eyes, Anyan is like a stone in a pit - smelly and hard.

Both Page and Green are so sincere in raising the price of cooperation, he still doesn't appreciate it.

It is no longer enough to act with arrogance, and this news has not been covered up tightly and spread. Google deliberately let others know, sharing the rhetoric of "Ann Cannon".

Another idea from Google is to let others walk away. Don't fight with us, the other party insists on 300 billion, everyone knows that it is unrealistic.

In this way, the name of "An Cannon" spread to the other side of the ocean, and continued to spread in the circle in the form of English, and once became a topic of conversation after dinner.

An Yang later learned by chance that the United States had even blown a wind of talking about his "An cannon", which made him depressed and a little unable to laugh or cry.

Wait and see, two or three months is not long.
