"I'll only get paid if the algorithmic content is used by whiteness. Other times, you don't need to pay a penny. ”

Meng Fanqi's purpose is that you can't use my things, and I won't take a penny from you. But if you're going to use my technology, don't think about a one-time buyout and send me away.

"If Mr. Li is interested in this result, of course we can try to cooperate on this technology first. It's just that the reward I want is proportional to the scale of the use of the algorithm, the number of users or the total income of the algorithm as the core, I don't know if Mr. Li can accept it. ”

Li Yanhong doesn't understand where Meng Fanqi's confidence comes from, there are actually many short-lived geniuses, and there are only one or two exceptionally outstanding masterpieces.

Then it was unremarkable, mediocre, and no achievements.

"Why is he so confident?"

With strong incomprehension and curiosity, Li Yanhong nodded and agreed to this condition.

But after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid that we will make adjustments and improvements based on your algorithm, and then gradually dilute the proportion of your technology to avoid paying most of the amount that should be given to you a commission?" ”

"Haha, of course I believe in Mr. Li's wisdom, and I won't do this kind of thing to kill chickens and take eggs. The more I draw, the more value I provide. I think it's too late for Mr. Li to be happy, and he doesn't necessarily tear his face with a junior like me because of this little money, right? ”

Meng Fanqi said this, but in fact, the greatest confidence certainly comes from his precise knife skills for algorithm technology.

It looks very strong from the current perspective and is a revolutionary breakthrough, but in Meng Fanqi's view, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Nvidia squeezes toothpaste every year, and when he comes back from this trip, he Meng Fanqi will also give you a little bit of toothpaste.

If he really turned his face, Meng Fanqi could also overdraw the technical time of two or three years in one direction and teach Baidu a lesson.

If there is any grievance, it is not really impossible to overtake + direct open source by focusing on the other party's core AI algorithm technology.

After listening to Meng Fanqi's words, Li Yanhong smiled heartily and laughed with him, but he still thought about it in his heart and seriously considered the feasibility of this matter.

However, this decision is not in a hurry, and it is completely possible to judge the situation later.

Although the trip did not recruit people as planned, Li Yanhong was still quite pleased with the huge breakthrough in this image detection algorithm.

As Baidu's head of the family, he is quite busy on weekdays, and it is rare to have time to meet in person today, and Li Yanhong naturally does not want to return empty-handed.

The two then had a detailed discussion and game on how to calculate the benefits brought by the algorithm.

Meng Fanqi first advocated a few points:

First, it is the benefit of reducing operating costs. Even without considering the accuracy of the detection algorithm, the increase in running speed alone is more than 100 times, which can greatly save the time cost of whiteness and the running loss of the algorithm.

Friends who know a little about mining know that running a specific algorithm on a large scale is not a small number in terms of electricity consumption. Not to mention the associated equipment and space expenditures.

In the first year of the first application of the series of algorithms, Meng Fanqi took a 20 percent cut of the saved part, and the following year it was 10 percent.

After that, it will be renegotiated depending on the replacement of the algorithm.

Second, it is the popularity and user growth brought about by strong performance improvement. A strong performance breakthrough is able to attract the public, and now netizens are paying a lot of attention to this new thing.

The more breakthroughs that stand out from the crowd and the more breakthroughs that overwhelm the crowd, the more obvious the effect of this similar advertising will be.

Because the propagandist can adopt a more aggressive propaganda strategy, stepping on the face of the competitor and mocking, the other party is helpless.

This kind of strength is very attractive to the people who eat melons.

The revenue in this area is calculated by the number of media reports, attention, number of views, comments and other indicators.

Of course, the most valuable indicator is the number of users and users of related technologies and applications launched by Baidu.

Third, it is the first-mover advantage and R&D time at the technical level, and the saving of capital investment. After Meng Fanqi provided the algorithm, the research time and investment in this area can be saved by at least more than a year.

Not to mention that Meng Fanqi will provide the source code and technical details, rather than just providing a packaged interface or function.

This part of the value is the most difficult to quantify and assess.

Whiteness can be based on these things to take the lead in the later technical research.

On this issue, Meng Fanqi showed great generosity.

Not only did he not pay much attention to the specific amount, proportion and calculation method, but he completely kicked the ball back to Li Yanhong.

In addition to pulling back and forth in negotiations, Robin Li is also like a mirror.

The kid in front of him is retreating into advance, whether he is willing to bleed or not, it is completely something like a name.

Although the contact has not been for a long time, with Robin Li's many years of workplace experience, not to mention reading countless people, he has seen a lot.

He had a very strong feeling that these things were far from the hole cards and limits of the young man in front of him.

In this way, it made him a little passive, and he gave less about the third point, for fear of missing something.

gave too much, and I felt that this time I was completely pinched by a young man in his twenties.

In a dilemma, Li Yanhong pursed his lips tightly, feeling mixed feelings.

After a long time, the two finally negotiated several major aspects and proportions.

No one else was present at the meeting, so the agreed content was only a preliminary verbal agreement.

"In a few days, I will have the draft formal cooperation agreement sent to your mailbox." Robin Li took the lead in getting up, although what he did today was not what he wanted to do at all, but in terms of technology alone, he still achieved a big gain that he did not expect.

"Some of these indicators and dividends may not be so rigid in the contract at that time, after all, the measurement method in this area often changes. In addition, there are some things that are not easy to evaluate, I hope you understand. ”

"Again, I trust Mr. Li's vision and pattern." Meng Fanqi replied with a smile, at this time, Li Yanhong should be the most willing to spend money in this area among domestic manufacturers.

He didn't worry too much about this, this kind of partnership is like the relationship between men and women, and the rigid limit is unbinding. Only by constantly improving one's own attractiveness and ability, making it difficult for oneself to be replaced, can one truly grasp the right to speak.

In the future, the cooperation will be unpleasant, and it is very easy for him to change to other large factories.

"Technology is the core productive force." Meng Fanqi sighed secretly in his heart.
