The secret auction of the Eureka Company has begun.

The auction site is on the campus of Modu Jiaotong University. This Sunday, the school arranged an entire floor of the school building for them. But the four potential buyers, plus the founding members of Eureka, made a total of thirty or forty people.

All of these people sat together to fill a large classroom, not to mention that they were scattered across five classrooms. As a result, the entire floor seemed exceptionally empty and quiet.

Xu Zhe sat in one of the classrooms, next to Zou Tianyan and the three doctoral students, only Shen Lan was by his side. The top of Mr. Zou and his students are a little sparse, but to a different extent. Compared with them, Xu Zhe and Shen Lan, two good-looking boys and girls, seem to be a little out of place, especially Shen Lan.

But they only looked at the short-haired beautiful girl a little, and didn't look any further. After all, today's auction was too important for them to be sloppy.

Everyone had a laptop in front of them, and a router on an empty table in the row in front of them.

Considering that all parties involved in the auction are Internet business bosses, the most important thing under his command is hard-core technology nerds, and when it comes to this level of competition, Xu Zhe does not dare to overestimate the moral standards of all parties. Therefore, it is necessary to cut off the possibility of someone cheating in advance.

Didn't go to either party's home stadium, didn't use either party's platform or software. Mr. Zou simply led someone to get a LAN email server, and then in this self-created platform that eliminated all loopholes as much as possible, let everyone communicate by email.

Even the computers used by potential buyers were prepared by Mr. Zou.

Suddenly, Teacher Zou turned his head and asked, "They're all right, shall we start now?" ”

Xu Zhe nodded: "Let's start." ”

So Mr. Zou knocked down the enter key and sent a prepared email to the four families at the same time.

Xu Zhe glanced at the girl beside him and asked quietly: "The starting price of the first round is fifteen million meters, guess which one has the highest bid?" ”

Shen Lan analyzed it seriously: "I don't know about Deep-mind, but I've heard the other three too many times. Softmicro should be the richest, just a Windows system I don't know how much I have earned over the years. Gu Gou is also very powerful, and now in the world except for our country, when it comes to search engines, they are all used. I've also heard that Gu Gou has recently started to buy some technology companies, and he has made a lot of money. Of course, Qiandu is not weak. Less than 100 million meters is a small amount of money for them. ”

Xu Zhe nodded: "So what about your conclusion?" ”

Shen Lan: "The financial resources of these three are all super boss level, so it depends on determination." Whichever one is more resolute, the more will not let go. Deep-mind, I think it can be ruled out, and the financial resources alone can't compare with these three. Eureka's visual algorithm seems to be the most useful for search engines, so the ones you are most optimistic about are those two, Qiandu and Gugou, right? ”

Teacher Zou suddenly reminded: "Everyone has bidd, all of them are above 1,005, and the highest is Softway, 1,08." ”

Shen Lan couldn't help but pat his chest: "Eighteen million meters ......"

Xu Zhe: "Did Deep-mind also make a bid?" ”

Zou Tianyan: "Yes, although the lowest is out, 15.6 million." ”

Xu Zhe: "It's really difficult for them, they have only been in business for two or three years and have come to grab food." Well, then follow the plan and continue. ”

According to the plan discussed by everyone, after each round of bidding, the highest price and the bidder will be displayed for other parties to know. After 30 minutes, the next round of bidding begins.

So half an hour later, the results of the second round of bidding also came out.

This time, Mr. Zou was about to remind, but he heard Xu Zhe's emotion: "Deep-mind is really persistent......

Shen Lan was also saying: "No, they actually bet on their shares?" ”

As you can see, Deep-mind's bid is $16 million, plus an estimated $3 million of its own shares.

Zou Tianyan scratched the back of his head: "But even this can't compare to the giants." 20 million for soft micro and 1000 degrees, and 20.48 million for Gugou. ”

Xu Zhe smiled: "Gu Gou's bid is exactly twice as much as 1024, is this a little fun?" But the price is definitely useless. As long as there are contenders, there is a third round. ”

Shen Lan suddenly grabbed his hand: "It's already 20 million meters, and it's hundreds of millions ......of yuan."

Xu Zhe pinched the palm of the girl's hand: "Steady, it's still early from their bottom line." ”

Shen Lan couldn't help but ask, "How do you know?" ”

Xu Zhe didn't explain at all, but said unreasonably: "I just know." ”

Shen Lan looked at his smiling expression on his chest, and couldn't help but be stunned, swallowing all the doubts on his lips.

Zou Tianyan didn't ask again, and directly issued the Gu Gou Fang with the highest bid in the second round, and announced the start of the third round.

After another half hour, there were only three bidders left in the third round.

Zou Tianyan: "Deep-mind has withdrawn." ”

Xu Zhe: "As expected, they can't keep up." To be honest, it can give out more than 10 million meters of cash, and Deep-mind has surprised me. ”

Shen Lan covered her mouth: "Qiandu has 24 million meters!" ”

Xu Zhe: "Yes, the soft micro is only two thousand one, and the valley hook is two thousand two, and this time it is the highest price of 1,000 degrees." They exerted their strength. I guess they want to set a high price at once and scare their opponents away. ”

Shen Lan: "Will it scare away?" ”

Xu Zhe: "I don't think so, at least Gu Gou shouldn't be so easy." ”

Zou Tianyan: "The third round ......"

Xu Zhe stretched out his sweaty hand and slapped the table: "Go on!" ”

With this kind of number in front of them, who can keep their composure?

However, not long after the start of the fourth round of emails was sent, there was a knock on the classroom door.

Without waiting for others to open the door, Mr. Zou himself quickly stood up, trotted over, and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was the executive of Qiandu Company, Mr. Yu. This person is not in a suit like many executives of large companies, but wears a simple T-shirt and jeans, and if it is not for his old face, he does not seem to be much different from the students outside.

Mr. Yu walked in and said bluntly: "I won't go around in circles with you, the price just now is already the bottom line that Mr. Li gave me." No matter how high it is, I can't afford to be responsible. ”

Zou Tianyan subconsciously asked, "Then you mean that the next round will be ...... Not bidding? ”

Mr. Yu shook his head: "I don't want to give up, and I believe that Mr. Li doesn't want to give up either." So I want to ask, can you guys pause a little bit? I'm applying to Mr. Li to see his decision. ”

At this time, Xu Zhe came over and asked, "Qiandu wants to apply for a suspension?" ”

Mr. Yu looked at the overly young man, then at Teacher Zou, and asked, "Is this your student?" ”

Zou Tianyan shook his head: "No, he is our investor, the majority shareholder of Eureka Company, and the first person to inspire us. ”

"Huh?"

Mr. Yu was stunned. He has been immersed in the field of AI in China for a long time, how come he has never heard of such a genius?
