Chapter 284 We agreed
The next day, Liu Yuanrui and Jiang Mingsheng did not come to sign the contract.
In response, Liu Yuanrui and Jiang Mingsheng personally called Mr. Qin to explain that it would take time to raise funds, and it would also take time to find and convince another partner.
Specially ask Mr. Qin to give him a little grace for two days. If Mr. Qin is not convinced, they can sign a cooperation agreement in advance.
Qin Shaoyan said generously that the prerequisite for cooperation is trust. He trusts the two bosses, so there is no need to sign an agreement.
You can also wait until you raise money or find new partners to join before signing.
Liu Yuanrui and Jiang Mingsheng were naturally overjoyed and thanked Mr. Qin repeatedly for his understanding.
There is nothing difficult to understand. You have just eaten a big cake and naturally need to digest it well. Simple backing is always necessary.
Boss like Liu Yuanrui are reckless people who have been in the world for many years, so they still have the most basic vigilance.
If they agree without even thinking about it, then Qin Shaoyan should think about it carefully.
Making a trap is the same as fishing. After the bait is placed, the fish cannot keep pulling the hook tightly, but should release it appropriately.
It was originally a profitable business, so it was Liu Yuanrui and the others who begged Qin Shaoyan to take a stake.
Mr. Qin seems to be too eager, but it will be a little short of heat.
Since there is hesitation over there, Qin Shaoyan is not in a hurry.
If you have no idea, just say no. Hesitation is just an idea.
Taking action when you have an idea is half the battle.
As a whole show, Qin Shaoyan specifically asked Zhang Tianshi and Teacher Fan to find AI talents.
Teacher Fan quickly recommended someone to come over, but he was not doing AI, but specializing in image recognition.
Qin Shaoyan had a special meeting with this technician who studied image algorithms. From the look of his face and appearance, he looked like a standard coder.
Wearing a plaid shirt, he looked stiff and reserved.
"Xing Wenqiang, right?" Qin Shaoyan glanced at him, "You used to study artificial intelligence?"
"Yes, I have been studying artificial intelligence with my supervisor since I was a graduate student." Xing Wenqiang looked a little nervous, " But after graduation, I switched careers and started studying image recognition algorithms."
"What about artificial intelligence?" Qin Shaoyan continued to ask, "Is there any research?"
"A little, but. Not much." Xing Wenqiang hesitated, "Qin always wants me to do artificial intelligence?"
"Can I do it?" Qin Shaoyan asked.
Xing Wenqiang replied directly, "It depends on how much money Mr. Qin is willing to spend."
"Artificial intelligence costs a lot of money, and it is uncertain to what extent it can be achieved and how long the research and development cycle will be. , it’s probably a bottomless pit.”
“I think it will take ten years.”
“Money is not a problem,” Qin Shaoyan laughed, “The company is also very interested in artificial intelligence. Interested, but I think the image recognition algorithm you are currently working on has more potential."
Xing Wenqiang's eyes suddenly lit up and his spirit became high. "I also think there is great potential for research in the field of image recognition algorithms."
"Every day, a large number of users upload photos and pictures on our company's campus network, including many illegal pictures, such as bloody, violent and erotic images."
"These illegal pictures are manually identified by administrators, and work like this The efficiency is very low, and the administrator's work is also very heavy, so I think image recognition technology can reduce the administrator's pressure."
"Very good," Qin Shaoyan said with satisfaction, "Your idea is very good. Insightful, image recognition and image processing have broad prospects."
"So the company decided to set up a separate company to let you develop this image algorithm."
"Huh? "Xing Wenqiang was shocked by Mr. Qin's eclectic approach to promoting talents, "Let me take the lead in research and development?"
"You were recommended by Teacher Fan, and your abilities are also satisfactory. It is very suitable for you to take the lead." Qin Shaoyan continued to ask, "How far is your research and development progress now?"
"Well, you can identify the most basic Things, such as simple colors and numbers, can also distinguish humans.” No."
"I can identify people, but I can't tell the difference between men and women."
"It doesn't matter," Qin Shaoyan said nonchalantly, "Rome was not built in a day. Yes, you can’t reach a thousand miles without taking small steps.”
“Have you ever thought about using artificial assistance to train?”
"Yeah." He asked, "I asked immediately, right away?"
Xing Wenqiang was stunned.
……
In the campus network conference room.
Qin Shaoyan was playing with a laptop in front of him with great interest, and the images on the computer were simultaneously projected onto the projection screen.
Behind Qin Shaoyan, his right-hand men Zhang Tianshi and Teacher Fan looked at the scene in front of them with tangled faces.
A line of titles displayed on the screen, "Artificial Intelligence Assisted Image Recognition System"
In the center of the screen is a landscape photo. The mouse keeps shaking over the photo, and then at a certain The area stopped.
Soon a red circle appeared in the area where the mouse arrow stopped, and then a line of words appeared below.
"Stone!"
"Lawn!"
"Rockery!"
"Wall!"
Looking at the correct answers that kept appearing, the conference room The atmosphere was strange and silent.
After testing, the image recognition accuracy is 100%. It can even distinguish between flowers, trees, men and women, and can also identify cats, dogs, birds and other animals.
Qin Shaoyan couldn't close his mouth. He kept playing with the image recognition system and praised: "Not bad, not bad, the effect is unexpectedly good."
"This is the future. , This is a vast money scene, image recognition has great potential!”
“Hey, why did you stop?”
Xing Wenqiang next to him poked his head out from behind the screen and said helplessly: "Mr. Qin, that's almost enough."
"How can that be done? A system function must be fully tested before it can be shown to customers." Qin Shaoyan urged, "Continue, don't stop, I will continue to test for bugs."
Xing Wenqiang sighed. He took a breath and turned his gaze back to his computer screen.
The screen on his computer is synchronized with Qin Shaoyan's computer. The difference is that Mr. Qin's side identifies it as the output terminal, while his side is the input terminal.
Xing Wenqiang's current job is to perform manual-assisted recognition based on the area pointed by Mr. Qin's mouse, and then manually input the recognition results and then display them.
To sum up, the answers obtained through image recognition are all done manually in the background.
Fan Xiaoqian's mouth twitched a few times, turned to look at the expressionless Zhang Pingyi, and asked with a confused face: "Isn't Mr. Qin just lying?"
Zhang Pingyi sighed, "It's okay. , you will get used to it in the future."
"Is this how you used to find investments?" Fan Xiaoqian obviously couldn't understand Mr. Qin's thinking and integrity. Zhang Pingyi remained silent.
Qin Shaoyan, the main leader of the gang, finally ended the test at this time, "I announce that the artificial intelligence-assisted image recognition system demo1.0 version has an accuracy rate of 99.99%, and the demo version can be officially launched!"
"Everyone applaud!"
Looking at Qin Shaoyan's excited expression, everyone applauded perfunctorily.
“Now everything is ready and all we need is the east wind!” Qin Shaoyan raised his arms and shouted, “Quickly go and invite Mr. Edward Damon, President of TNB Greater China, we have important business work to discuss.”
......
Two days later, a piece of not-so-big news began to circulate on the Internet.
"Campus Network recruits experts in the field of artificial intelligence with high salaries."
"Campus Network is looking for image recognition algorithm engineers, and the salary is negotiable."
"The vice president of TNB in the United States personally rushed to Campus Network to meet with President Qin Shaoyan met and the two parties negotiated cooperation on the development and future applications of artificial intelligence."
Liu Yuanrui, who has been paying attention to news related to artificial intelligence, soon became unable to sit still because he saw a photo.
In the photo are Zhang Pingyi, Vice President of Campus Network, and Edward, Vice President of TNB Company in the United States. Both parties attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of a company's "Artificial Intelligence Research Institute".
There is very little background information on TNB, but the information Liu Yuanrui found shows that this company is the largest shareholder of Facebook in the United States.
Liu Yuanrui immediately took out his phone and called Jiang Mingsheng, "Old Jiang, we can't wait any longer. It will be a long night and we have to give Mr. Qin an answer quickly."
It was obvious to Jiang Mingsheng that Before he could recover, he asked, "It's only been two days, don't you seem too anxious?"
"If you don't reply quickly, we won't be able to do anything good!" Liu Yuanrui said eagerly, "Give it to me immediately. Song called, let's go find Mr. Qin immediately."
Jiang Mingsheng heard that the tone was wrong and did not dare to shirk anymore, so he agreed directly.
The two people directly picked up the newly hired coal boss Song Daorong and rushed to the campus network in a hurry.
Different from the previous warm reception, the smile on the front desk's face became much stiffer after seeing Liu Yuanrui and others, and he said politely and bluntly: "Mr. Qin is meeting guests and is not free now."
"Three bosses, please go back first and come back for the next appointment."
"You can wait, but I can't guarantee that Mr. Qin has no other schedule today. Mr. Qin is very busy and has many important guests. I want to see you."
Liu Yuanrui and the other three had no choice but to wait in the reception room and watch the situation in the conference room next to them through the glass door.
At this time, the conference room was crowded with people, and it was obvious that there were several foreigners.
Qin Shaoyan stood in front of the projector, gesturing as if he was explaining something.
Liu Yuanrui stood on tiptoe, eager to lean in and listen.
Song Daorong was a little impatient after being forced over, "I say Lao Liu, do you think this artificial intelligence is reliable? Don't be a liar."
Liu Yuanrui glared at him fiercely With one glance, he asked in a cold voice: "Have I ever tricked you in these years?"
Song Daorong was startled by Liu Yuanrui's eyes, "Uh, that's not the case."
"Then shut up!" Liu Yuanrui said forcefully, "Stop talking for a while, I will make you rich for the sake of it." After many years of friendship, if you mess with me, don't blame me for being rude."
Song Daorong stopped talking when he saw Liu Yuanrui's unkind expression.
About half an hour later, warm applause and faint cheers came from the conference room, and then the door of the conference room was pushed open.
Qin Shaoyan and Edward held hands all the way and discussed something with smiles.
Edward used proficient English and exaggerated gestures, and praised him repeatedly.
The translator next to him quickly followed up, "Mr. Edward Damon said that he is very optimistic about the prospects of artificial intelligence. He feels that Mr. Qin has grasped the pulse of the future again this time."
"At the same time, your company has made amazing breakthroughs in the fields of artificial intelligence and image recognition, which will shock the entire Internet industry."
Qin Shaoyan said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Damon for your praise. Our research is just A small step has been taken in the field of artificial intelligence, which is a big step for the future development of the Internet."
Edward Damon shook Qin Shaoyan's hand again, "Then I will bring a lawyer over tomorrow and we can sign directly. The contract is signed, and I wish us a happy cooperation.”
"Happy cooperation!" Qin Shaoyan greeted again, "Xiao Chen, hurry up and bring the champagne!"
Mr. Qin's secretary immediately trotted back to the president's office, and soon came back with champagne and wine glasses.
Then TNB Vice President Edward Damon and Mr. Qin opened the champagne together, and the foam sprayed everywhere.
The golden wine filled the goblet, and in the collision of the glasses, the two parties reached a cooperation.
……
After seeing off the people from TNB Company, Liu Yuanrui immediately came out of the reception room and rushed forward with a smile on his face: "Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin!"
"Hey, Mr. Liu, why are you here? ?" Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, then a little confused, "Is something wrong?"
Liu Yuanrui felt something bad in his heart, and he quickly put on a smile, "Mr. Qin, you told us before that you wanted to develop artificial intelligence. Well, I went back to raise some funds and came here quickly."
"When did I say that I wanted to engage in artificial intelligence with you?" Qin Shaoyan frowned, "Yes?"
"You, noble man, are so forgetful." Jiang Mingsheng said quickly, "I just said it last time when we met."
"It seems that this is the case." Qin Shaoyan suddenly realized, "I was short of funds at that time, but I don't need it now. The American TNB Company has agreed to invest money."
Liu Yuanrui was a little anxious, "Mr. Qin, did you It’s all agreed...Mr. Qin, this kind of scientific research and development doesn’t cost much. Artificial intelligence is so difficult, so it definitely needs money, right?”
“It won’t be needed for the time being,” Qin Shaoyan said with a smile. , "If you have money, you can invest in film and television companies."
"Film and television companies can also make money. I agree to this, I accept it."
"Mr. Qin! Liu Yuanrui waved the check, "I brought the money from the projection video company, and I also brought the money from the artificial intelligence. Please give me a chance."
Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds, "One code means one code."
"Let's talk about the film and television company today, and we will talk about artificial intelligence later."
"No. Question!" Liu Yuanrui nodded in agreement, "We should do business first."
Qin Shaoyan called to the secretary, "Xiao Chen, go clear the conference room and call the legal affairs department."
Soon, Mr. Qin’s lawyers rushed over and handed over the investment letter of intent they had already drawn up to the three coal bosses.
When Liu Yuanrui looked through the agreement, Qin Shaoyan added, "If you can't finish it now, you can take it back and read it again."
"No need." Liu Yuanrui took out his pen and signed the investment letter of intent. .
Anyway, it’s just a letter of intent. It’s not too late to get more serious about the investment agreement. Just sign it first.
Liu Yuanrui put down his pen and looked at Qin Shaoyan who hesitated to speak.
Qin Shaoyan asked falsely, "Does Mr. Liu have anything to say?"
"Um, Mr. Qin, I have a heartfelt request." Liu Yuanrui asked tentatively, "Can you let us see your artificial intelligence?"
