Chapter 287 Change of Heart
In the conference room of the campus network.
Mr. Qin’s right-hand men and capable generals sat together with serious expressions on their faces, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Zhang Tianshi and Teacher Fan each sit in the top spots on the left and right, and the others sit in order in different camps.
The big BOSS of the company, Mr. Qin, was sitting in the main seat with his hands crossed in Commander Ikari's classic movements, and he was quietly listening to his subordinates' work reports.
After the two CTOs finished reporting their work, there was a strange silence in the conference room.
Everyone was looking at Qin Shaoyan secretly.
Qin Shaoyan coughed a few times and said expressionlessly: "Recently, the main focus of the campus network is on two things."
"One is the international college student summer camp."
Zhang Pingyi, who was sitting on the left, remained silent, saying that he was responsible. In fact, many things were done by Qin Shaoyan himself.
"The other one is the college student station pusher."
Zhou Yuan, a new member of the young group, immediately puffed up his chest and his face was full of pride.
“This year, all the company’s resources will be invested in these two projects, and other departments must fully cooperate.” Qin Shaoyan made the final conclusion, “Everyone deserves credit for success, and responsibility for failure. "
"When the time comes, those who should be demoted will be demoted, and those who should leave will be let go. "
Everyone's heart is filled with fear. They look at their noses and their hearts.
"Don't think I'm being alarmist." Qin Shaoyan glanced at everyone sternly, "The success or failure of these two projects is related to whether the campus network can be successfully launched in the United States next year."
"Okay, let's go get it together. Stark rang the bell."
"We have to wait a few more years."
"Time is money, everyone!" Qin Shaoyan sighed, "The campus network will not be what it is today. It’s easy, everyone has put in a lot of effort.”
“The first hurdle for Campus Network is to go public. As long as the listing is successful, you will get promotions, salary increases, year-end bonuses, and stock dividends, which will be several times more than ten times. A doubled increase.”
"It's almost time to harvest. You don't want to waste all your hard work just because of a small mistake, right?"
Everyone was in high spirits, and instantly became murderous. Everyone looked at each other with unkind eyes. .
Mr. Qin’s words make sense. They are about to reap the rewards, and no one wants to be held back by their pig teammates.
Destroying people and making money is a life-and-death affair!
"Okay, the morning meeting is over." Qin Shaoyan slowly glanced around, "Mr. Zhang, Zhou Yuan, Xu Lei, Li Le, and Director Xing stay, and the others go out."
< br>
There was a sound of tables and chairs moving in the conference room, and the middle-level staff stood up and left one after another. Only Mr. Qin's confidants were left behind to plot.
Qin Shaoyan's expression became extremely serious, "Have you all heard about it?"
"The company has recently established a new artificial intelligence research institute, which is the company's top secret."
"Now the outside world has begun to spread the news."
The hearts of several people who didn't know the inside story were worried. Could it be that Mr. Qin wanted to find out the inner ghost?
"Many people are interested in our artificial intelligence research institute." Qin Shaoyan said slowly, "Some people will definitely come to you to inquire about information."
"Maybe Zhou Dao from IDG is among them, I know Many of you are familiar with him and have communicated with him in private."
Zhou Yuan quickly expressed his loyalty, "Mr. Qin, you know me, and I am loyal to the company."
Xu Lei. He immediately said, "Mr. Qin, you know me. I don't know the inside story of artificial intelligence at all. It's useless to ask me."
Li Le said not to be outdone, "Mr. Qin, you He knows me well. Zhou Dao’s drinking ability is not as good as mine, so I can only ask him.”
Director Xing Wenqiang also quickly said, "Mr. Qin, you know me, I, I don't know Zhou Dao."
Qin Shaoyan raised his hand to stop his subordinates from continuing to express their stance, "I can tell, you all have different identities. Have unique skills."
"Our artificial intelligence research institute is to reserve technology for the future and seize the commanding heights of Internet technology. Research on artificial intelligence is our strategic need."
"It is a good thing to be strict. , But..." Qin Shaoyan then became tactful again, "Zhou Dao is from IDG after all, and he is also Xiong Xiaoge's right-hand man."
"Ask yourself, why did Mr. Xiong spend a lot of money on us? He can be considered the top brother on the list.”
"It's understandable that Mr. Xiong wants to inquire about the situation from the side. When the time comes, you can reveal a little bit about the situation."
"Huh?!"
Except for Zhang Pingyi, everyone else is satisfied. Confused.
What does Mr. Qin mean by this? Is there any other hint?
For a moment, even Zhou Yuan, who claimed to know Mr. Qin best, was in a daze and didn't know how to understand the spirit of Mr. Qin's instructions.
"Xu Lei, Li Le, you two will be responsible for receiving Zhou Dao when the time comes." Qin Shaoyan directly began to arrange the tasks.
Xu Lei and Li Le were at a loss, "Then what should we say to Zhou Dao?"
"Just say whatever you know." Qin Shaoyan said casually.
“But we don’t know anything.” Xu Lei was a little confused.
"It's okay if you don't know. You can combine it based on the information you have and the gossip circulating in the company." Qin Shaoyan simply stopped and gave guidance, "add some artistic processing and brainstorm a reasonable explanation. Just fine.”
Xu Lei and Li Le looked at each other and could only say: "Then let's give it a try."
Qin Shaoyan turned to look at Xing Wenqiang again, "Director Xing, please tell me how much development you have done behind closed doors recently. Oh my god, it’s best not to see guests.”
Xing Wenqiang was stunned for a moment and asked cautiously: “Can’t you see family members too?”
“Immediate family members are allowed, but others are not required. See you." Qin Shaoyan hinted, "Our demo version still needs to be improved, and we can't do it without you."
"Of course, you can give it to me."
Xing Wenqiang looked stern and said quickly: "I will call my wife right away and tell her that she has been working overtime these days and will live in the company."
"Thank you for your hard work, Director Xing." Qin Shaoyan reassured, "Wait a minute After a few days, I approved your paid leave, and your year-end bonus at the end of the year will be calculated based on one year of employment."
Xing Wenqiang nodded quickly, "Thank you, Mr. Qin!"
At this time, Xu Lei. Suddenly raised his hand, "Mr. Qin, Zhou Dao asked me to get together tonight."
Qin Shaoyan became more energetic, "Where are you going?"
"He said he would go to heaven and earth." Xu Lei looked quite excited.
"The consumption in heaven and earth is too high, please save some money for Mr. Zhou." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "Just change to a restaurant and have a meal, don't put on any shows, don't let anyone catch you, I I can’t catch you.”
I have never been to heaven or earth.
Xu Lei was a little disappointed, so he had to reply a few messages to Zhou Dao and make an appointment to meet.
……
Zhou Dao and Xu Lei walked out of the hotel arm-in-arm, standing there smelling of alcohol and comparing themselves to each other.
One claimed that he could still drink until dawn, and the other claimed that he could independently develop a neural network algorithm for artificial intelligence.
After struggling for a long time, Zhou Dao called a taxi, stuffed Xu Lei into it, and sent the person away.
Back in his car, Zhou Dao called a driver, then picked up his cell phone and called Xiong Xiaoge.
“Mr. Xiong, I’ve asked you all.” Zhou Dao took a deep breath, “Qin Shaoyan has indeed developed an artificial intelligence thing.”
Xiong Xiaoge frowned, "How far has the project progressed?"
"The specific situation is unclear." Zhou Dao replied, "According to Xu Lei, the confidentiality level of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute is very high, even Vice President Zhang Pingyi didn’t understand the development progress.”
“All the technical personnel involved in the project are doing closed research and development, and they are not even allowed to see their families.”
Xiong Xiaoge was stunned for a moment. "Are the confidentiality measures so strict?"
"Absolutely." Zhou Dao added, "According to the scattered information they got, they did come up with something very powerful."
"Using artificial intelligence to intelligently identify images and photos, the accuracy can reach 90%."
Xiong Xiaoge took a breath of air, "Is it so powerful? Isn't it just a boast?"
< br>"Probably not." Zhou Dao was a little unsure, "They have conducted many external demonstrations, which shows that they are very confident in their technology."
"External demonstrations?" Xiong Xiaoge immediately noticed something was wrong. , "To whom? Who has seen this project?"
"About three times, the first time was to a few senior people in the company." Zhou Dao thought for a while, "The second time was to Edward, the vice president of TNB, demonstrated, and several assistants of the vice president of TNB were present. ”
"The third demonstration was given to three coal bosses." "Coal boss?!" Xiong Xiaoge was a little surprised, "What does this have to do with coal bosses?"
Xiong Xiaoge quickly remembered Qin Shaoyan brought three coal bosses that day, so he asked: "Is the leader's surname Liu?"
"It is Liu, his name is Liu Yuanrui, and he is a well-known local coal boss." Zhou Dao confirmed, "He also voted for Kuaibo Media."
Xiong Xiaoge frowned, "They really hooked up together."
Zhou Dao changed the subject, "Mr. Xiong, are you still so anxious that I voted for an audio book website before?"
"Remember." Xiong Xiaoge felt a little strange, "Why did you mention this?"
>"The boss of the audiobook website is called Liu Mingzu, and he is Liu Yuanrui's son." Zhou Dao sighed, "They have known each other for a long time."
Xiong Xiaoge was silent for a long time, and then said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. You, go and have a rest.”
After hanging up the phone, Xiong Xiaoge sat on the sofa and pondered.
Then he stood up, picked up his laptop, went online and started to search for information, and at the same time called some technical experts he knew for consultation.
After an hour of tossing, Xiong Xiaoge finally confirmed.
Theoretically, there is no problem with Qin Shaoyan's artificial intelligence image recognition.
In other words, he may have really made big news.
But if you want to say how valuable this thing is, it’s hard to say.
After all, he is not the only one who studies this thing.
To say that this thing is worthless, the application range of image recognition is very wide, and the market prospect is very broad.
How much this thing is worth depends on the technical effect.
Xiong Xiaoge gathered his emotions, picked up his cell phone and called Qin Shaoyan.
"Mr. Qin, I heard that your artificial intelligence's image recognition is very powerful." Xiong Xiaoge said straight to the point, "I want to broaden my horizons."
Qin Shaoyan was silent for a moment, "Mr. Xiong, where did you get the news?"
"I have my own news channels." Xiong Xiaoge fooled him casually, and then sighed, "Mr. Qin, we have known each other for such a long time. It's time, how's the relationship?"
"It's okay..." Qin Shaoyan said uncertainly.
“…” Xiong Xiaoge was speechless.
What does it mean to be okay?
I've spent a lot of real money on you, so it's okay if you just say this to me.
Sure enough, people’s hearts can change!
“Qin Shaoyan.” Xiong Xiaoge’s tone became melancholy, “I remember that you shared any new results with me immediately.”
“Now you have changed. "
Qin Shaoyan was stunned and said with a bit of laughter: "Mr. Xiong, what you said...is there any misunderstanding between us?"
"Misunderstanding?!" Xiong Xiaoge sneered, "I don't think there is any misunderstanding."
"Your treasured artificial intelligence can be shown to coal bosses and foreigners, but it can't be shown to me. That counts. What?”
“Qin Shaoyan, just tell me, which project of yours did I not invest in?”
“I have invested so much money in you, but I still have to apply for an artificial intelligence project. ? ”
Qin Shaoyan sighed, “Mr. Xiong, this is really a misunderstanding.”
"My artificial intelligence project... is actually a semi-finished product, of no use at all."
"It's okay to deceive outsiders, but it's not worth mentioning to an insider like you, Mr. Xiong."
>"I can't fool you with a demo."
Xiong Xiaoge said in a stiff tone, "You have to see whether something is good or not."
Qin Shaoyan said helplessly, "Then I Mr. Xiong is always welcome to inspect and guide the work.”
"Then tomorrow." Xiong Xiaoge asked, "When will you arrive at the company?"
"Come over at ten o'clock." Qin Shaoyan raised his hand and looked at his watch.
“Do you go to work so late?” Xiong Xiaoge was a little surprised.
"Ahem, I have to get an injection." Qin Shaoyan said helplessly, "The cold is not cured yet, and it is about to turn into pneumonia."
After hanging up the phone from Xiong Xiaoge, Qin Shaoyan I found Liu Mingzu's number and dialed it.
After the call was connected, he asked bluntly: "Has Zhou Dao from IDG contacted you? What did he ask you and how did you answer it?"
Liu Mingzu was very surprised, but he also heard that Qin Shaoyan's tone was wrong. , so he replied cautiously: "I met with him today. We just talked about website financing."
"Oh, he also asked about my family situation."
Qin Shaoyan asked: "Didn't you ask anything else?"
"No." Liu Mingzu replied.
"He hasn't asked about artificial intelligence?" Qin Shaoyan pressed.
“There is really no such thing.” Liu Mingzu said immediately, “Mr. Qin, there is no need for me to lie to you. Mr. Zhou did not ask me about artificial intelligence.”
Qin Shaoyan hung up directly. Liu Mingzu was stunned for a moment when he heard the busy tone on the phone.
After thinking about it carefully, Liu Mingzu felt that something was wrong, so he immediately jumped up and went out quickly.
Liu Mingzu drove the car and stopped at a random location, then quickly got out of the car and hurried towards the door of the tea house and rushed in.
Because he left in such a hurry, Liu Mingzu almost bumped into the cheongsam waiter greeting guests at the door.
"Oh, sir, please wait a moment."
A few security guards in suits stood up and blocked Liu Mingzu's way.
"Liu Yuanrui, is Mr. Liu here?" Liu Mingzu took out his VIP card from his pocket and shook it.
The security guard immediately moved out of the way, and the cheongsam waiter next to him said with a smile: "Mr. Liu is in the West Lake private room upstairs..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Mingzu rushed up the stairs.
Pushing open the door of the box, it was still a familiar scene.
My cheap dad is sitting upright with a tea bowl, and the beautiful and enchanting tea master sitting on his lap is still the familiar tea master in the high-slit cheongsam, and he is still skilled in tea ceremony.
Seeing Liu Mingzu rushing in, Liu Yuanrui looked calm and skillfully pushed away the tea master on his lap.
“What do you look like in a panic?” Liu Yuanrui said in a deep voice, “I can’t keep calm at all.”
"How many times have I told you that you will not change your expression even if Mount Tai collapses?"
Liu Mingzu couldn't care less about this and sat directly opposite Liu Yuanrui, "You and Mr. Qin have been doing something recently. What?"
Liu Yuanrui frowned, "Why are you asking? Children should not interrupt in adult matters."
"How long have you been talking about this?" Liu Mingzu was anxious. , "Mr. Qin called me just now and asked me if I knew anything about artificial intelligence."
Liu Yuanrui was stunned for a moment, "He asked you this?"
"It's not just him." Liu Mingzu said eagerly, "Zhou Dao from IDG also asked me about you."
Liu Yuanrui fell into deep thought.
Liu Mingzu urged: "What are you and Mr. Qin doing, why don't you tell me?"
"This matter has nothing to do with you." Liu Yuanrui waved his hand.
Before he could say anything, Liu Yuanrui suddenly received a message on his mobile phone. When he opened it, he saw that it was from Qin Shaoyan.
"Tomorrow morning, at 9:30, I have something to discuss on the campus network."
