Abayun, Penguin, and Huawei arrived at Xihai University in the afternoon of the next day, as if they had agreed.

The first to come was Zhu Zhen, manager of the Penguin Technical Department.

Zhu Zhen didn't come alone, he also brought two algorithm experts from the technical department, and after arriving, he called Wang Hao, Wang Hao invited them to the teaching and research department, and also asked Li Ming from the science and technology department to help receive them.

The science and technology department of the school is responsible for R&D, projects, enterprise cooperation and other affairs, and helping to receive enterprise representatives is also a work counterpart.

Then, representatives of Huawei came.

The representative of Huawei is also the manager of the technical department, named Xu Jingwen, and also brought an algorithm expert Zheng Zhiguo, Zheng Zhiguo is somewhat famous in the industry, and has been invited to give lectures at famous foreign universities, and he also has a certain personal influence.

After the representative of Huawei came, the teaching and research department was relatively small, and Li Ming proposed to go to the conference room on the second floor of the academic affairs building.

In the conference room, the representatives of Penguin and Huawei, including a few people from the school, all looked at Wang Hao seriously.

Luo Dayong and Zhu Ping sat next to Wang Hao, one left and one right, like personal bodyguards.

Zheng Zhiguo asked about the algorithm of the 'Rubik's Cube Cracker', and Zhu Zhen also asked if he intended to sell the source code.

Wang Hao didn't speak for a long time.

The phone rang.

He picked up the phone and listened to a few words, and then put it down before saying, "Abayun's people are also here, let's talk together when they arrive." ”

I see!

Zhu Zhen and Xu Jingwen glanced at each other, and they both felt that things were a little tricky, but it was okay for the two companies to discuss it, and the competition between the three companies was a little too fierce.

Penguins and Abayun have been at odds.

As the two largest Internet companies in China, the competition has covered all corners of the Internet, and it is almost impossible for Penguin and Abayun to work together.

Abba Yunlai's representative is an acquaintance, Feng Youlai, he is not alone, he also brings two algorithm experts.

Feng Youlai greeted Wang Hao a few times, and nodded to Zhu Zhen and Xu Jingwen.

Although they are in different companies and work in different cities, the top industry circles in China are not large, and they are all director-level figures in the enterprise technology department, and they have seen and known each other.

At this time, Wang Hao finally opened his mouth, and he said very seriously, "Everyone's intention, I know, is interested in the algorithm contained in the 'Rubik's Cube Cracker', right?" ”

"Manager Zhu should know best that this is my latest algorithm achievement, which is a brand new algorithm."

Zhu Zhen nodded lightly.

Wang Hao said, "I have been doing this project for more than a month, and Penguin has sponsored the project, although we have agreed in advance and do not involve the ownership of any results, but if you want to sell the results, you will definitely give priority to Penguin." ”

Zhu Zhen was overjoyed when he heard this.

The representatives of the other two parties listened silently, their expressions were very calm, and it was difficult to judge the result of anything until the end, not to mention, until now, they still don't know what the algorithm contained in the Rubik's Cube Cracker is and how valuable it is.

Wang Hao continued, "However, this is not a commodity, and the algorithm results are not patented. ”

Zhu Zhen was stunned.

Wang Hao stood up and walked to the blackboard, picked up a piece of chalk and said, "I am not a businessman, and I will not deliberately inflate the value of my achievements to extract profits." Next, I will tell you what my latest achievements are. ”

The people in the conference room suddenly became serious.

"Valid vs. Irrelevant Carry Algorithm." Wang Hao wrote a few big words on the blackboard, "This is the name of the algorithm, which can be simply understood as, chaotic screening and elimination, and its main role is to eliminate the steps in the system that make the whole more chaotic." ”

"It's screening, it's doing mathematical analysis, and it's eliminating confusion in a calculated way."

"For example, when making the next step of the Rubik's Cube, you can calculate to judge whether it will make the state of the Rubik's Cube more chaotic, that is, it is farther away from restoring the initial state."

"That's what the algorithm is for."

"The key to achieving this goal is obviously the analysis and control of the whole system, and the chaotic calculation method, which supports the calculation is the mathematical architecture of the whole system."

Wang Hao said very seriously, "The algorithm is completed on the basis of the mathematical architecture, and the underlying architecture is a little difficult to understand. After I finished my research, it took me nearly three days to just sort out the core architecture and complete the core algorithm to crack the Rubik's Cube. ”

This sentence is a bit of a twist.

Several people in the conference room couldn't help but tug at the corners of their mouths, and it took three days to complete the core code...... Is it complicated?

Wang Hao really felt very complicated, he completed the relevant research alone, and the purpose of the research was to crack the Rubik's Cube, and it took a lot of three days to complete the core content with a simple algorithm.

He talked about the mathematical architecture problem.

It is not to explain all the algorithm architecture, but to emphasize the complexity of the underlying architecture.

After the introduction of Datong, he concluded, "So, this is not a simple algorithm, not like doing multiplication, as long as the method is given, it can be applied, on the contrary, it is a complex architecture, just to provide a solution idea, to apply it needs to have a certain level of mathematical support, and have a very deep understanding of the architecture." ”

Everyone in the room understood.

The effective and irrelevant carry algorithm, unlike other algorithms, is just a way to solve the problem.

For example, if someone wants to go to the capital, other algorithms directly say 'take the XXX bus' and 'do the XXX bullet train at the XX station'.

This algorithm only indicates the direction in which the capital is located, and as for whether to go by foot or by car, you need to think for yourself.

If you can understand the algorithm thoroughly, just like an adult, you can find all kinds of ways to 'get to the capital', and if you are an ignorant child, you can only be at a loss.

Even so, it's quite remarkable.

Because the 'effective and irrelevant carry algorithm' can solve the problems that cannot be solved originally, the evaluation of the entire system and the calculation of chaotic screening judgments can be said to be of great significance in various fields, and the application prospects will definitely be very extensive.

Wang Hao returned to his seat after explaining, and continued, "Just now we explained the new algorithm, and everyone should have an understanding. First of all, the results of the algorithm will definitely be made public, and this method-style thing cannot be completely kept secret as long as there is an application. ”

Everyone else nodded in response.

Algorithms are definitely impossible to keep secret, as long as the application will be exposed to others, it is natural that it cannot be completely confidential, and conversely, it is meaningless if it is not applied.

Wang Hao continued, "Once the algorithm is made public, the whole world will know about it, and it is only a matter of time before you can apply the algorithm and make code similar to the function of the 'Rubik's Cube Cracker'. ”

"But I think that the source code of the 'Rubik's Cube Cracker' is still very valuable, and its value lies in time."

"As I said just now, the new algorithm is not so easy to understand, it was originally made for cracking the Rubik's Cube, and the source code of the 'Rubik's Cube Cracker' can be said to be the best reference example."

"Last night, I thought about it carefully, and it is not good to assess the value of the source code, you are all large domestic companies, and selling to either party alone is not good for the other two. If you are all interested in buying and want to know the core algorithm content inside, this way. ”

Wang Hao compared two fingers, "Two million, two million each, I can share the source code with you." ”

As soon as this price was spoken, Zhu Ping, Luo Dayong, Li Ming and others all trembled in their hearts.

Two million in a family? Six million in total?

For an algorithm that will definitely be made public in the future, the asking price of the application code is six million, which is too dark!

Wang Hao's words were not finished, "But I have a premise, after you get the source code, you can't use it to make Rubik's Cube-related programs", he said with a smile, "We are working together to make the Rubik's Cube cracker, and we hope that more users can order it." ”

Zhu Zhen, Feng Youlai, and Xu Jingwen nodded together, they didn't care about the 'Rubik's Cube Cracker', a small tool software, no matter how much money they made.

They were still thinking about the 'two million' they just mentioned, and they looked at each other with a clear heart.

Conscience price!

For large Internet enterprises, time is more valuable than money.

Wang Hao is a real top algorithm expert, and he should not exaggerate the professional issues when negotiating with enterprises, he said that the underlying architecture is difficult to understand, and the difficulty will definitely be very high.

If you gather a large number of top mathematics and algorithm experts, and slowly do research and then application, the salary and labor costs alone are not low, and having a source code as a reference can greatly shorten the time and labor costs.

Two million does sound like a lot, but it's nothing compared to the cost of time.

Having a new algorithm that greatly reduces the computational cost and putting it into use could bring huge economic benefits sooner rather than later.

The three nodded together.

"We agree!"

"Huawei has no problem either."

"We agree!"

They nodded directly in agreement with a tacit understanding, which made everyone else present marvel at the arrogance of the big company.

Six million!

That's what you earn?

Wang Hao didn't feel any surprises, what is a company out of two million, they asked themselves to give a lecture, hundreds of thousands of dollars were thrown out directly, for large Internet companies, the time cost is very high, the new algorithm is applied a day earlier, you can easily make more money.

However, there is no way to ask for a higher price.

It's okay to speak, but it's not necessary.

The price of two million per company is within an acceptable range, because it is not a 'monopoly purchase', and competitor companies can also obtain the same source code, which is equivalent to contributing money and making progress together.

……

The representatives of Abayun and Huawei left two million with the source code in a hurry.

Zhu Zhen is still there.

The purpose of his visit was not only to buy the source code, but also to talk about other things, and when the representatives of the other two parties left, he went to the teaching and research department with Wang Hao and talked about the project.

To put it simply, penguins want a name.

They sponsored one million and got everything, hoping to have a good name, so they came to talk to Wang Hao about whether they could announce 'cracking the number of God', and it would be good to have a news.

Zhu Zhen's idea is very simple, "This algorithm can be improved backwards, and with the use of supercomputers, it only takes a short time to calculate all the most chaotic states of the Rubik's Cube." ”

"Not only the third-order Rubik's Cube, but also the fourth-order Rubik's Cube, we can also announce that the R&D project of Xihai University, which we sponsored, has developed a new algorithm and cracked the number of gods in a short time."

"This is also the propaganda of the results of the algorithm."

Wang Hao thought about it carefully, but there was no objection, Penguin sponsored the project with millions of funds, and it was natural to announce the results of the sponsored project and make a news.

Then there's the 'little things'.

Zhu Zhen said that the 'Rubik's Cube Cracker' can cooperate with Penguin, because the ordering and downloading of 'Rubik's Cube Cracker' has limitations, and it can only support iOS users to order for the time being, and it is different to cooperate with Penguin, Penguin can organize a team to correct and improve the code, add a simple input method for taking pictures, and correct the interface.

The app can then be added to the applet of the Penguin-owned software, and you will need to pay a fee to use it.

This makes it a perfect solution to the ordering problem.

Of course, at least half of the money you make from working with Penguin goes to Penguin, but there's no doubt that Penguin can help expand your user base.

Even if a user can only earn one dollar, and the scale of users is expanded by a hundred times, they can earn more than ten times more money.

In addition, on the Penguin cooperative app, you can also add ads to generate an additional advertising revenue.

Wang Hao thought about it carefully and found that there was no reason to refuse, so he talked to Zhu Zhen about the ordering price, sharing and other issues, and finally could only agree with tears, he felt like being PUA by the hateful capitalist, but he had to admit that the penguins are indeed very good at doing business, and similar semi-acquisition cooperation has brought too many benefits.

……

After talking about a big business of six million in one go, Wang Hao felt that his whole body was wrapped in the smell of copper.

When I returned to the office, I walked a little lightly, and Luo Dayong and Zhu Ping felt the same way, and other people who knew the news could only be envious, jealous and hateful.

After Zhu Ping came back, she kept swiping her phone, staring at the screen without moving, and then showed a distressed look.

Zhang Zhiqiang passed by and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" Still troubled? Didn't you say you talked about big business? ”

"It's because of this distress that I've always wanted to buy a bag, but I've never been willing to give it up, isn't this a look? But I think there's another bag that's better, you can help me see ......"

Zhu Ping turned the screen of her mobile phone around.

Zhang Zhiqiang glanced at the selling price on it, and a series of five numbers were formed, and he shook his head sourly, "I don't understand, and I can't afford it." ”

When he returned to his seat, he had just sat down and noticed that Luo Dayong was also staring at his phone, posing as a thinker, and he suddenly asked curiously, "You also swipe your phone?" ”

Luo Dayong generally doesn't look at his mobile phone, and almost only looks at the computer in the office, or thinks about life outside the window.

Luo Dayong raised his head and said, "I've always wanted to buy a watch, and I didn't just make money, so I planned to buy one." ”

Zhang Zhiqiang was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and scolded secretly, "Buy a watch, buy a watch...... Cousin! ”

Six million!

Although Luo Dayong and Zhu Ping can only get one percent, each person also has 300,000 incomes, the key is that they are still constantly showing off here, buying things when they buy things, why do they have to say it?

It must have been deliberate!

Zhang Zhiqiang took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality and read the code patiently, but he couldn't read it at all under the irritability, and then he simply brushed the web page to pass the time, and suddenly noticed a letter prompt, opened it and saw that it was sent by the Zhucheng International Computer Conference held next month, and his application to participate in the conference has been approved.

Suddenly, confidence returned.

He glanced left and right, and said to Wang Hao, who was immersed in writing papers, "Wang Hao, do you know about the International Computer Conference to be held in Zhucheng next month?" ”

Wang Hao thought for a while, opened the mailbox and found an invitation, he pointed to the screen and asked, "Brother Zhang, is this what you are talking about?" I received it the other day and didn't care. ”

Zhang Zhiqiang glanced at the past and found that it was the invitation letter of the conference, inviting Wang Hao to attend the meeting as an expert and participate in the review of the conference, and at the same time, he was also invited to report on the academic work at the conference.

When he looked at the letter he received, it was only a letter of application for participation.

Suddenly, the confidence was gone.

Autistic.

He said with a sad heart, "Coincidentally, I'm going to participate too, let's be together when the time comes......"
