Chapter 298
Qin Shaoyan held his cell phone and pondered for a long time, then carefully sent a text message to Xiong Xiaoge.
"Mr. Xiong, what have you been busy with recently?"
Five minutes passed, but the other party did not respond.
Qin Shaoyan thought for a while and made another one.
"Mr. Xiong, why don't you reply to my message? Are you really angry?"
Still no response.
Qin Shaoyan was a little unhappy, hey, you are still in high spirits, right?
I have humbled myself so low and you are still holding on.
Qin Shaoyan quickly pressed a message and sent it again.
"Old Xiong, the money from Kuaibo.com has been spent. Send me money quickly."
Ten minutes later, the information was still lost, and Xiong Xiaoge was as silent as gold.
Qin Shaoyan thought about it carefully and finally sent a message.
"Xiong Xiaoge, selling your artificial intelligence stocks will be the most regretful choice in your life, just like when you sold Penguin stocks."
"Dingling bells..."
As soon as Qin Shaoyan put down his cell phone, the harsh ringtone rang.
I picked it up and saw that it was Xiong Xiaoge.
"Hey, Mr. Xiong."
"Qin Shaoyan!" Xiong Xiaoge's voice came from the receiver, "Are you interested?"
"I really haven't I’ve never seen a liar as arrogant as you.”
"..." Qin Shaoyan immediately retorted, "Old Xiong, we are familiar with each other, but if you slander me, I will still fall out with you."
"I slander you?" Xiong Xiaoge laughed angrily, " Qin Shaoyan, do I need to slander you for what you did?"
"Why am I a liar?" Qin Shaoyan said angrily, "Have I ever cheated you of money? Have I ever made you lose money in your investment? "
Xiong Xiaoge snorted, "Let's not talk about anything else. Just talk about the artificial intelligence project. Do you still need me to explain it to you? "
" Come on, come on, tell me clearly now," Qin Shaoyan said forcefully, "I want to hear what Mr. Xiong has to say about artificial intelligence."
"Xing Wenqiang, who presides over the artificial intelligence project, is a graduate student in computer applications. His mentor is a well-known artificial intelligence research expert in my country. Xing Wenqiang has been deeply involved in artificial intelligence neural networks for several years."
"Facebook's The technical team highly affirms our AI image recognition system and believes that it has broad application prospects. They are investing real money.”
“These technical co-authors have not seen artificial intelligence. Intelligence is deceptive, you understand, right?"
Xiong Xiaoge sneered, "You Qin Shao are so eloquent, I can't tell you."
"I dare not do it. Yes, you know whether there are any problems with the artificial intelligence project. If you can deceive others, can you deceive yourself? ”
Qin Shaoyan also laughed, "Mr. Xiong, if you take a step back, even if there is really a problem with my artificial intelligence project, let me ask you."
"You know that there is a problem with the project, then you are How could you have the nerve to sell your shares to SoftBank and make a profit of US$1.5 million? "
"You have changed from a victim to a perpetrator. If there is a problem with the project, you then sell it to someone else. This is tantamount to you. You are also responsible, okay."
Xiong Xiaoge was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "I didn't sell the shares."
Qin Shaoyan raised his voice and shouted angrily: "Don't dare to do it. Dare you admit it? You know in your heart whether you are selling it or not. If you can deceive others, can you deceive yourself? ”
Xiong Xiaoge was stunned.
Isn’t this right? Why is it my fault again?
"Qin Shaoyan!" Xiong Xiaoge retorted angrily, "Stop talking nonsense to me. It's obvious that you are committing fraud, so you are here to beat me up."
"Old Xiong!" Qin Shaoyan He also shouted loudly, "You say I'm a fraud, show me the evidence!"
"Is my artificial intelligence project fake? You have seen it with your own eyes, and you are the one who made the investment. .”
"Not long after the purchase, you turned around and sold it to SoftBank, making a profit of US$1.5 million."
"Why didn't you think that I was a liar when you were making money? After the sale, you said that I was a liar. It’s just that you’re jealous of me for making money.”
Killing kills the heart, killing kills the heart!
Xiong Xiaoge was extremely angry, "You have the nerve to call that piece of shit artificial intelligence!"
"I have asked experts in this field, and there is something wrong with your thing."
"Don't vote if you have questions." Qin Shaoyan retorted, "Which expert said that I am not artificial intelligence?"
"Is there a unified standard definition of artificial intelligence now?"
" What is artificial intelligence? ”
“Use computers to simulate certain human thinking processes and intelligent behaviors, learning, reasoning, and thinking.”
“I have this image recognition system. It can learn to recognize and reason independently, and can improve the recognition accuracy through manual training. This is artificial intelligence.”
"And my system has begun to enter commercial applications. In the second half of this year, this image recognition system will be connected to the audit system of the campus network."
"Help the campus network identify illegal images and assist Manual reviewers conduct the screening."
"Huh?" Xiong Xiaoge was stunned for a moment, "You have entered the application stage?"
"It is just a test application. The system needs to continue to learn and evolve. It is indispensable to have a large amount of data and picture training." Qin Shaoyan replied, "Upgrading while applying is the best development environment."
"This set of things is not only used by our campus, but also by Facebook. We have signed a commercial contract and will be connected to Facebook’s backend review system in three years.”
Xiong Xiaoge frowned, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"You're not a shareholder, so I don't need to report everything to you." Qin Shaoyan retorted hard.
Xiong Xiaoge regretted a little. He did sell the shares too early.
Although he already felt that there was a problem with the project at the time, and although he was not very interested in the project, he still invested some money.
Seeing that Qin Shaoyan was trying his old tricks again and brought Facebook in to blow up the valuation, he concluded that Qin Shaoyan was cheating and immediately sold out his shares.
But I didn't expect that Qin Shaoyan didn't feint this time. He really brought Facebook in to cooperate.
However, Xiong Xiaoge is also a big boss in the venture capital industry. He has never seen any big storms. He sold Penguin stock as soon as he said it would be sold.
He is not too entangled in the small project of artificial intelligence.
Xiong Xiaoge was angry because Qin Shaoyan, an entrepreneur, did not do business properly and did everything possible to inflate the valuation, and even roped him in to cooperate.
That's all. The most important thing is that Qin Shaoyan kept hiding things from him and didn't say hello to him in advance, which made Xiong Xiaoge very passive.
Qin Shaoyan is a talent he is very optimistic about. He is very thoughtful and capable at a young age.
But it seemed that he might have gone down a wrong path, which made Xiong Xiaoge a little uncontrollable.
Isn’t it better to go public and make money by listing a company properly? You have to degenerate into deceiving investors.
Xiong Xiaoge sighed with regret. The temptation in this society is too great and the water is too deep. Young people cannot grasp it.
"Mr. Qin, please stop." Xiong Xiaoge said slowly.
"Stop?!" Qin Shaoyan was stunned, and then said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about."
"Qvod.com is doing well, why should you stop."
Xiong Xiaoge was excited, and shouted in shock: "What are you going to do with Kuaibo Network?"
Compared with the two million US dollars in artificial intelligence projects, the funds invested in Kuaibo Network are an order of magnitude higher, then But it's more than 20 million US dollars.
Be sure not to make any mistakes.
"Qvod.com is going to apply for the exclusive live broadcast rights of the 2008 Olympic Games. This project may cost a lot of money. I have to inform you in advance." Qin Shaoyan then added. "You haven't sold your shares in Kuaibo.com, have you?"
Xiong Xiaoge ignored Qin Shaoyan's weirdness and asked directly: "Online broadcast of the Olympic Games?"
"Are you sure about this?"
"Just give it a try." Qin Shaoyan said perfunctorily.
Xiong Xiaoge had several thoughts in his mind. If it could really be done, this would be great news.
Qin Shaoyan is well-connected in the Olympic Organizing Committee, and he is very tough.
Xiong Xiaoge saw it during the last Global International Marathon.
Since we have already cooperated once, it is natural to continue and deepen cooperation.
Qubao.com won the exclusive online broadcast rights of the 2008 Olympic Games, which can be said to be a dimensionality-reducing blow to other competitors.
During the Olympics, don’t even think about how much traffic other video websites have.
Xiong Xiaoge quickly calmed down. No matter how good this happened, it would only happen three years later.
The most important thing right now is to finalize the exclusive live broadcast rights.
Xiong Xiaoge continued to ask, "Are you technically confident?"
"Zhang Pingyi said that the technical problem is not big, but the live broadcast screen will be blurry." Qin Shaoyan told the truth.
Xiong Xiaoge breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay. The network infrastructure will be improved in three years, and this problem may be solved by then."
"It's okay even if it's blurry, as long as users can see it."< br>
"Well, I think so too." Qin Shaoyan agreed calmly.
In fact, Qin Shaoyan knew that even in 2008, no matter how much the network situation improved, it was not enough to watch live broadcasts.
It’s just a matter of drawing a pie. Just make the pie big and round to make it look particularly good to investors.
As for how to make this cake later, investors will not care about the process of making it.
It depends on whether the last cake is delicious.
However, in three years' time, domestic video website competitors will be almost dead. By then, Xiong Xiaoge probably won't care whether this cake is delicious or not.
“This matter must be done step by step.” Qin Shaoyan said seriously, “Tomorrow I will go to have dinner with a leader of the Olympic Organizing Committee, and the next step will be public relations activities.”
"Well, you have to entertain the leaders of the Olympic Organizing Committee." Xiong Xiaoge said generously, "Don't be reluctant to spend money. You can spend this public relations fee as you like."
"Mr. Xiong is very generous." Qin Shaoyan smiled and complimented, "But the public relations fee must be explained clearly in advance, so as not to have you ask me for the debt anytime."
Xiong Xiaoge was stunned, and then laughed, "You, you, I find you... you have a good grasp of some principled issues."
This is what Xiong Xiaoge admires most about Qin Shaoyan. He is very principled and never spends money from investors indiscriminately. Money, and I won’t do any tricks secretly.
It is not that he has never seen entrepreneurs who are more capable than Qin Shaoyan, but entrepreneurs who are cleaner and more principled than Qin Shaoyan are rare.
After receiving investment, most entrepreneurs spend money in a confused manner, taking investors' money completely inappropriately.
Some even start to enjoy it before they have any results.
"There is one more important thing." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "Please help Mr. Xiong."
"Whatever you say, as long as it is not too much, I will try to satisfy you." Xiong Xiaoge at this time His mood improved, and he agreed directly if Qin Shaoyan's request was not excessive.
Qin Shaoyan asked: "Mr. Xiong, does he have any reliable people of his own who are capable and principled?"
"Huh?" Xiong Xiaoge was stunned for a moment, very surprised. "Why do you ask?"
"Our company is currently short of all talents, and we can solve these problems ourselves." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "But there is a thorny problem that is difficult to solve."
"The campus network will begin large-scale deployment in the second half of the year Promotion activities are underway, and you know that marketing is a big and hard-working job, and there will inevitably be people with dirty hands and feet.”
“I originally wanted to set up an internal compliance monitoring department, but there were no suitable candidates. . ”
“And it’s not suitable to choose one from within the company, so I would like to ask Mr. Xiong to recommend one.”
Xiong Xiaoge hesitated for a moment, and Qin Shaoyan said that he would set up an internal supervision. There was nothing wrong with checking the department, and he was surprised that Qin Shaoyan had such awareness.
But Qin Shaoyan asked him to recommend candidates, which was a bit...
Previously, Qin Shaoyan asked Xiong Xiaoge to recommend the financial director, which made him dumbfounded.
Although Qin Shaoyan’s gesture satisfied investors, it was very difficult to implement it.
How can Xiong Xiaoge have so many talents to send to him? He doesn’t even have enough talents himself.
"Let's talk about this..." Xiong Xiaoge thought for a moment, "It's hard to find qualified talents in China at present. Supervision positions are usually full-time investigators who have worked in the police, anti-corruption and other professions."
"At the same time, there must be experienced auditors. They are all veterans and know a lot about the unspoken rules."
"Well, I will try my best to find it for you."
"Then thank you, Mr. Xiong." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "We can find the people of the supervision team ourselves, but we have to ask Mr. Xiong to worry about the person in charge."
It stands to reason that the position of supervisor is the best. Fortunately, a die-hard confidant of the boss can take the position, but Qin Shaoyan now uses this position as cannon fodder, so it is difficult to use one of his own.
……
The next morning.
Liu Yuanrui and the three coal bosses walked into the alley excitedly and stopped outside a small door.
This is a courtyard that looks very inconspicuous, with traces of time mottled on the blue-grey wall.
The small vermilion door has a door god attached to it and couplets hung on both sides.
This is a private restaurant hidden in an alley.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, a waiter came to greet them and led the three people inside.
Go through the courtyard door and enter the room.
"Mr. Qin." Liu Yuanrui was the first to say hello.
At this time, Qin Shaoyan was sitting in the main seat, with two middle-aged men sitting next to him. The three of them were chatting very happily.
Liu Yuanrui took a glance and found that the two men looked like local bosses, and he felt a little surprised and wary.
Where did these two people come from?
"Brother Liu, sit down quickly." Qin Shaoyan waved, "Let me introduce to you, these two are boss Tian Qingmin and boss Wang Dalin."
"These two Although they may look inconspicuous, their status is not ordinary.”
“They have worked as clothing suppliers for the International Olympic Committee and the National Olympic Organizing Committee. They are the designated suppliers of Facebook in the United States, and they are the official suppliers this year. "A partner of the Games."
Liu Yuanrui was very surprised. If you want to be a supplier, you must have connections. It doesn't matter if you don't have a background and can't even drink soup.
But the relationship between these two people can extend to the International Olympic Committee, which is quite a big deal.
“These three bosses are all from Jin Province, and they are all in the coal mining business.” Qin Shaoyan introduced the two parties to each other.
Tian Qingmin and Wang Dalin were also a little surprised. Although they were in Jiangnan, they had also heard of the name of the coal boss.
Both parties were interested in making acquaintance, and being veterans of shopping malls, they naturally became acquainted with each other very quickly, and almost wanted to take over on the spot.
Qin Shaoyan raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "It's almost time, the real owner should be arriving."
Liu Yuanrui was a little surprised, "Mr. Qin, who are you inviting?"
"Well, no one." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "A leader of the Olympic Organizing Committee, we worked together before Passed."
"Invite him here today to talk about the Olympics while reminiscing about old times."
His~
Liu Yuanrui and others took a breath. Mr. Qin’s business has reached the Olympic Games?
