"Lao Lu, is there any new progress in the artificial intelligence laboratory?"

Rebus put down his coffee cup and asked Lu Bing on the other side.

Since Kupai and HOC announced the release time of Moss's co-branded mobile phone, he felt that the aroma of coffee had faded a little.

Lu Bing was silent and shook his head helplessly.

If it is effective in a few months, these painting software companies will not choose to join the Moss Ai Alliance.

It is impossible for Lelisi's old Jia to be willing to give up 30% of the equity of the TV business.

"There are eight months left."

Lei Jun calculated in his heart that when the contract expired in one year, he had only two ways to go, join Future Technology or fight against Future Technology.

"Mr. Lei, why don't we poach people directly from the other party's R&D team?"

Lu Bing hesitated for a moment, and suddenly opened his mouth to propose.

"In this way, Chen Heyu will be offended to death."

Lei Jun sighed, a little difficult to choose.

"The day we set up the AI lab, we had already offended him, and we were destined to be competitors to each other."

Lu Bing said in a deep voice.

"You are personally responsible, help me dig up a group of people and horses, I don't believe that only they can make artificial intelligence in Huaguo."

Rebus stood up and walked in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the entire Rice Science and Technology Park, where the company's future was in his hands and every decision had a huge impact.

"Okay, Mr. Lei."

Lu Bing took over the task, and the real business war was often unpretentious, digging people, going undercover, and splashing dirty water were all one of the tricks.

……

"Hey, hello, is it Mr. Zhou Hai?"

Zhou Hai, a mid-level researcher of Future Technology, was about to return to his workstation after breakfast in the cafeteria to start his day's work, when he suddenly received a strange phone call.

"Well, who are you?"

Zhou Hai replied suspiciously.

"I'm an HR from Houde Headhunter, would you like to consider a new job opportunity? This position is a perfect match for you, and the salary package is also very lucrative. ”

The headhunter on the phone has a crisp and touching voice.

Zhou Hai smiled, are there any other artificial intelligence companies in China?

How did you not know?

With the idea of finding out the news, he decided to continue chatting with the other party, not because her voice was gentle and moving.

"Oh, let's tell me, which company is it?"

Zhou Hai said tentatively.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I need to keep the employer's information confidential before you agree to the interview, but I can tell you that the other party is a big company and is not inferior to the BAT Big Three."

The headhunter smiled lightly.

"I now have an annual salary of more than 400,000 yuan, what conditions can the other party offer?"

Zhou Hai teased.

"Mom, is it so much? It's terrible! ”

The headhunter lady was at a glance, before making this call, she did her homework, and the core information she learned was that the monthly salary of future science and technology researchers was between 1.5 ~ 20,000.

Zhou Hai's offer exceeded her expectations!

This is because headhunters are calculated based on 12 months' salary, but employees of Future Technology generally receive an annual salary of 18 salaries.

With such a big difference, could it be that Zhou Hai wants to raise his own value?

"Mr. Zhou, as long as you agree to change jobs, you can increase by 30% on this basis."

The headhunter lady let go of the doubts in her heart, recorded the problem, and continued to tempt.

Anyway, the rice group pays for it, and she is responsible for the negotiation first.

"And how many hours do they work every day?"

"How many days of annual leave do you have each year?"

"Do I need to take time off to work on holidays?"

"Is there supplemental commercial insurance? Can I cover my family? ”

"Is there a meal allowance, transportation allowance and rental allowance?"

"Is there an equity award?"

Zhou Hai's series of questions made the headhunter miss miss confused, could it be that he has these benefits in the future technology?

Incredible!

What a fairy company this is!

The headhunter lady wanted to ask him at the beginning, big guy, is your company still recruiting?

Good professionalism made her quickly adjust her mentality and answer Zhou Hai's questions one by one.

"Mr. Zhou, the employer is an Internet company, and there will be overtime, and the working hours will not exceed 10 hours a day;

The annual leave is 5 days per year, and the service experience of more than 10 years is 7 days;

Holidays are carried out according to the statutory system;

Commercial supplementary medical insurance is available, which is only available to employees themselves;

I also need to confirm with my employer about equity and other information. ”

Zhou Hai looked disgusted when he heard this, what kind of garbage company is this, he only gave a 30% increase, and he wanted him to work overtime?

Are you kidding?

Roughly calculated, the hourly salary does not rise but falls, and a lot of benefits are missing, Zhou Hai smiled angrily.

"I'm sorry, after listening to Ling's introduction, I don't feel the slightest sincerity, maybe I will contact you when I want to change jobs in the future."

Zhou Hai directly refused, and the meaning of his words was very clear.

The headhunter was dumbfounded, and before he hung up the phone, she asked for his micro-signal, and Zhou Hai happily agreed for the sake of the girl's beautiful speech.

When he returned to his workstation, he told his colleagues about it, but unexpectedly, the other party also received a headhunter call.

Zhou Hai realized that something was wrong, he got up and asked his colleagues around him, and found that most of them had received headhunter calls.

He immediately walked to Wei Gang's workstation and reported: "Mr. Wei, someone is poaching people on a large scale......

Then, he told the story again, and Wei Gang frowned lightly and said, "Okay, I know." ”

Then, Wei Gang fed back the situation to Zhang Nan.

Zhou Hai picked up his mobile phone and clicked on the new friends column, there was a cute girl with a headhunter, was it a headhunter?

"It's pretty good."

He clicked the agree button and secretly chatted with his sister-in-law.

……

"Boss, a headhunter has been secretly contacting the company's researchers recently."

Zhang Nan called to report.

"Oh? Who is so tyrant? ”

Chen Heyu said with a smile, the salary he gave, he can live a rich life in a beautiful country, and relying on spending money to poach people will not work in the future.

Because all researchers and engineers will get a lot of equity on the day they become regulars, and the salary only accounts for a small part of the salary and welfare system, and the equity is the big meal.

In the future, the company will be listed or repurchased, and these shares will be enough for them to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, but anyone with a normal brain will not choose to jump ship and backstab their old club.

"Rice's Rebus."

Zhang Nan said word by word.

"Mr. Lei? No wonder you haven't asked me for coffee for a long time, it turns out that I have a new idea, and someone has proposed to leave? ”

Chen Heyu asked curiously.

"At present, no, most employees have responded to the company in a timely manner after receiving the headhunter call. After investigating the headhunting company, I learned that the operator behind it was Rice Group. ”

Zhang Nan explained.

Compared with the rice group, Future Technology is the god of wealth of headhunters, and under the trade-off, some companies that are good friends with her secretly release inside information to her.

"Technical personnel have signed a non-compete agreement, and if there is a temptation, let the legal department directly solve it."

Chen Heyu said coldly.

His treatment, welfare, and working environment are all of a super-first-class standard in China, but he is more at ease if he can't afford to make a fool of himself, and he is more at ease because of the constraints of the law.

"Boss, I'll take care of it."

Zhang Nan assured.

Chen Heyu put down the phone and secretly thought that Rebus dared to challenge, which was also expected by him.

How can a person who is used to being a big guy be willing to be his younger brother.

But take your time, don't be in a hurry, Rebus hasn't felt the pressure of survival yet, he has prepared several sets of plans in his head, all tailored for him, and he needs to dismantle the opponent's psychological defense line little by little.

……

Mid to late March.

Kupai Dashen and HOC ONE mobile phones equipped with Moss intelligent voice system have been released one after another.

The main sales positions of these two are online, which easily broke the record of the number of mobile appointments in Jingdong Mall.

In the same month, the Kupai god sold 1 million units, and this thousand-yuan god machine and Moss combined to set a good result in the first place in the March shipment list, pressing the ripples of relying on contract machines to occupy the market.

HOC ONE is a high-end machine, and its sales volume is not as good as that of Kupai, and it still sells 300,000 units, and Cai Zhen, the big boss of the business line, is smiling.

"This money is worth it, seize the time to increase production capacity, pick a thousand-yuan machine, we can't give up the low-end market."

He commanded his subordinates.

Seeing this, Jia Ting of Lelisi immediately announced the release plan of Moss's co-branded TV, which rubbed off the heat.

Privately and secretly opened, Lelisi super mobile phone research and development plan, directly take rice's flagship mobile phone, and pay tribute at the pixel level.

In the new year, in the first quarter, these major events on the Internet seem to be inseparable from Moss, an artificial intelligence.

Sanxing's market share was frantically squeezed, once falling by 5 points, Cui Youzhen tried his best, but failed to save the decline.

Park Changchan was very angry, staring at the seductive Cui Youzhen in front of him, he said lightly: "Don't you have anything to explain to me?" ”

"Your Excellency, Rice, Kupai and HOC are all equipped with the Moss system, our mobile phones have no advantages, and they lack competitiveness, and I have made great sacrifices to keep 20% of the market."

Cui Youzhen said coquettishly, unbuttoning the neckline with her slender hand, and bent over in front of the table, trying to get the minister's forgiveness.

"If it goes on like this, it will be difficult for me, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep you."

Park Changcan's eyes lit up, white flowers and flowers, it was really a charming scenery, he said vaguely.

"Oba~"

Cui Youzhen bit her lip and whispered.

Park Changchan was like a wild dog in an iron cage, when he heard the code, he instantly felt it, and went around her back and whispered: "Your sacrifice is indeed great, I see it in my eyes." ”

After that, I began to relive the physical activities of youth.

After about ten seconds, Park Changchan roared softly, slowly stopped his simple and boring movements, and lay back on the soft chair.

"Whew!"

He reminisced about the short-term happiness of Fang Cai, and only came back to his senses after a long time, and said to Cui Youzhen, who was already fully dressed: "Go to Yancheng, I made a work report to the headquarters last week, and we will also use the Moss intelligent system to develop the market for the mobile phone business." ”

Park Chang-chan can sit in this position, it is impossible to be a complete fool, the trend of the times, in order to keep the position and the market, he worked hard to convince the headquarters.

"Yes, Minister."

Cui Youzhen replied, and he didn't dare to reveal half a point of resentment in his heart.

"Let's get out."

Park Changchan waved his hand weakly and motioned for the other party to get out.

……

In the mobile phone market, the sales of Kupai and HOC are rising, as if they have been reborn, which also stimulates companies such as Lianxiang, Huayao, and Zhongxin.

"In one year, are you sure to make an intelligent voice system?"

Hua Yao's vice president, with a tense face, asked the technical person in charge opposite.

"Yes, but it's only at the level of 30% of Siri."

The technical leader replied boldly, and there was no chance of winning in his heart.

"How does it compare to Moss Smart?"

The vice president asked.

"Incomparable......"

The technical person in charge looked embarrassed and lowered his head and replied, there are too many technologies involved in voice intelligence, and it takes at least three months to build a perfect team.

A year, how can it be made?

The vice president sat down in a daze, and it seemed that he could only spend money to buy the road, and after making up his mind, he immediately reported upwards and prepared to start a second round of negotiations with Future Technology.

Lianxiang and Zhongxin's mobile phone business leaders also have similar ideas, and several giants in the domestic mobile phone industry gathered in Yancheng again.

This time, there was also the delegation of Samheung, Goryeo.

Zhang Nan was in charge of reception, she led the business team, and met with the heads of each family.

"Mr. Zhang, Hua Yao has no objection to the authorization fee you mentioned last time, and is willing to accept the previous plan."

The representative of Huayao Mobile is a VP of a business line, who is in charge of both marketing and sales, but in front of Zhang Nan, he also lowered his arrogant posture.

"Mr. Zhang, Lianxiang also agrees."

Lianxiang immediately stated that if he wants to maintain market share, he can only accept the licensing conditions of Future Technology.

They have paid the patent fees for chips and chip architectures, and there is nothing shameful about paying an intelligent voice licensing fee, and it is not a shudder to make money.

Zhongxin saw that the two bigwigs agreed, and he didn't dare to put on a fight, so he replied with a smile: "I'm okay, when can the contract be signed?" ”

Everyone came with a task, and they were relieved to complete it early, and they were in a particularly urgent mood.

"Mr. Zhang, Sanxing also wants to get Moss's authorization."

Cui Youzhen is very fluent in Mandarin and asked for it together.

"Section Chief Cui, I may be going to disappoint you, the boss explained that the current authorized use of Moss is limited to domestic mobile phone brands."

Zhang Nan said with a slight smile.

"It's not fair!"

Cui Youzhen was in a hurry, she couldn't get the authorization contract, how could she go back and explain, when she thought of Minister Park's ugly face, she panicked.

"The boss's request, I'm just a wage earner, I hope you understand."

Zhang Nan squinted and explained.

The boss doesn't want to see the Koreans, so she naturally has to strictly enforce it, no matter how Cui Youzhen entangles, she doesn't let go.

In the end, directly ask the security guard to send the other party away.

The representatives of Lianxiang, Huayao, and Zhongxin were originally a little aggrieved, but when they saw that Sanxing did not get the authorization, they immediately smiled.

I instantly felt that the authorization contract in my hand was extraordinarily weighty.

The next day, the three major mobile phone brands announced to the outside world that each Moss co-branded mobile phone launch plan.

Fans raised their hands in support, and more and more mobile phone manufacturers choose to carry the Moss system, which is also a good thing for them.

Seeing this, Rebus regretted his previous decision, and it was better to agree to Chen Heyu's harsh conditions.

If Rice gets the exclusive license, it will definitely be able to win more mobile phone market share within a year and enter the top three.

But now, he is on the opposite side of the future of technology.

After the contract expires, it is the darkest hour for rice, and I hope that the laboratory can complete the development of the system, not to reach the level of Moss, and only half of the functions are satisfied.

At the same time, the first 4G phone bill package was officially launched!

Compared with the network speed and tariff in the 3G era, the traffic price of 4G is more cost-effective, and Chen Heyu changed to a new package for the first time.

Otherwise, watching a movie will be stuck, which will affect the good mood.

With the advent of the 4G era, the business focus of Internet giants has begun to slowly shift from the PC side to the APP side, and applications are booming.

He took this opportunity to establish Shanhai Video Technology Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shanghai, with an office area next to Shanhai Film and Television.

Shanhai video PC website and APP application are under development, and the R&D team of hundreds of people is proceeding in an orderly manner.

"Lao Zhou, did you make any progress on what I explained to you last time?"

Chen Heyu called Zhou Xiaoyu.

"Mr. Chen of Shengda, I promised to meet you, but whether I want to sell Shengda literature or not, I have to talk to you in person.

Judging from the other party's tone, he probably just wants to meet you and see what kind of ability the first person in the AI field has. ”

Lao Zhou replied.

"You come with me."

Chen Heyu thought about it and said to Lao Zhou.

Shanhai Video has entered the R&D stage, and only a basic IP manufacturing pool is needed to complete the ecological chain, and Shengda Literature is an inevitable part of it.

Thinking of the upcoming meeting, it suddenly occurred to him that he had already met two of the richest people in China, an e-commerce horse and a social horse.

Cheng Tianqiao sat on the throne of the richest man in 2012 and made a fortune with a "Legend" online game, and now his worth has exceeded tens of billions.

In the business world, it belongs to a veritable big man.

In his last life, he sold Shengda Literature to Penguin in 2015.

"I think Shengda is a highly mature company that has also encountered growth bottlenecks, and selling it is positive for the group."

Chen Heyu paid attention to relevant information in his previous life, and the information he got from the Internet showed that Cheng Tianqiao sold Shengda Literature at that time, and used this reason in an interview with the media.

But in this life, from a business point of view, he keenly found that the popularity of Shengda Group's funds is mostly concentrated in the field of online education and games.

Then, there is only one truth, Cheng Tianqiao's cash flow has problems, and he urgently needs a fund to relieve the pressure on the group.

On the last Thursday of March, Chen Heyu and Zhou Xiaoyu sat in a luxury Maybach sedan and drove towards Shengda's headquarters in Shanghai.

"Lao Zhou, is there a value evaluation plan for Shengda literature? Show it to me. ”

Chen Heyu said.

"Yes, it has just been sorted out this week, mainly using the cash flow method and the price-earnings ratio method to make a valuation assessment, the data source is the opinions of the PwC Dao institution, and combined with investment bank information.

There is a certain difference between the two statements, with a minimum of 2.3 billion and a maximum of 2.9 billion. ”

Zhou Xiaoyu explained, and the assistant on the side handed over the document prominently.

Chen Heyu took it and looked through it, after all, it was a door-to-door purchase, the price was high and low, and he always had to know it in his heart to be able to advance and retreat in a certain way.

In the last life, the penguin spent 40~5 billion yuan to acquire it a year later, but there was a lack of specific figures, so it could only be used as a reference for him.

He rushed to start ahead of the outbreak of 4G, hoping to be the first to pick up a big leak.

More than 30 minutes later, a towering commercial building stood in front of me, and the top floor hung a huge "Shengda Group" signboard.

Good night, gentlemen, I'm going to see Brother Qiao tomorrow
