Chapter 1724 Artificial Intelligence

Xiao Yunhai smiled bitterly: "I really don't understand these technical issues very well. Mr. Lan, are you going to adjust the research direction to artificial intelligence technology?"

Lan Jiancheng nodded and said: "That's right. Mr. Xiao, we believe that artificial intelligence technology will be the fourth technological revolution of mankind. Now all countries have begun to pay attention to this aspect. I think we should also put artificial intelligence Technology is on the agenda so as not to fall behind the times.”

Christie said: "Mr. Lan, we are not technicians. We don't understand how much convenience artificial intelligence will bring to the development of human beings. But we understand the economy. I want to know how much benefit this thing can bring us?"

Lan Jiancheng said solemnly: "It is immeasurable. For example, it is like a search engine. It seems very simple, but it is actually composed of various algorithms. When we search for a thing, countless garbage will appear. Information or something that doesn't do us any good. It's very hard to find what you want."

"Let's put it this way, the current search engine is only accurate, but the intelligent search engine can be humanized and intelligent. It will selectively provide you with the most suitable information according to your requirements. If the information in the future If there is a change, it will try its best to notify you. This is an inevitable requirement of future development. Therefore, I cannot judge how much benefit this industry can bring us.”

Xiao Yunhai was very interested in artificial intelligence, and said, "What do you need?"

Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Lan Jiancheng knew that he had a door, and quickly said: "Support from funds and personnel. If we want to be at the forefront of artificial intelligence technology, we need to set up a separate research institute. It is best to have 3,000 personnel. People, R&D funds are $50 billion a year. This is not included in the existing R&D funds.”

"It's impossible." Christie exclaimed and said, "Mr. Lan, according to what you said, we have to give your laboratory more than 100 billion US dollars every year. The burden is too heavy. I believe that there is no company in the world. will do it."

Lan Jiancheng blushed and said embarrassedly: "Ms. Christie, this is indeed a lot, but once there is a result, the benefits we will get will make us unbelievable."

Kyle Morris nodded and said, "That's right. Artificial intelligence is the trend of future development. If we want to gain a foothold in the future, Yunqing Network Company must put it in the first place."

Christie said: "But you're asking too much.

At $50 billion a year, even the Bessie family and the Anderson family would probably not agree. "

Xiao Yunhai said: "They don't agree, I agree."

Everyone was shocked and looked at Xiao Yunhai with a firm face.

"Ms. Christie, $100 billion, it's not that we can't come up with it."

Christie said: "But..."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "But, you're afraid that the money you put in will go to waste in the end, right?"

Christy nodded and said, "That's right."

Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said in a grand manner: "You can't do things in a forward-looking way. Like 3D technology, when we were developing it, everyone was working on it. But in the end, it was not done by us. Artificial intelligence represents the future, I don't want to miss it, even if it is for We have to pay a heavy price for this.”

Christie sighed and said, "Mr. Xiao, I'm just giving you advice, I decided to ask you to do it anyway, it's your money anyway."

When everyone heard it, they all laughed.

Xiao Yunhai said: "That's good. From today, artificial intelligence research will be put on the agenda. The laboratory will be the most important place for the entire Yunqing Network Company. After our security company is established, I will send people to guard it 24 hours a day. ."

Seeing Xiao Yunhai supporting them so much, Lan Jiancheng and the others all stood up and said, "Mr. Xiao, don't worry, we will definitely succeed."

Everyone chatted for a while before they dispersed, and Xiao Yunhai left Wen Yanhong and Christy alone.

"Mr. Wen, I want to sell 10% of Yunqing Network Company's shares to the Anderson family. What's your opinion?" Xiao Yunhai asked.

Wen Yanhong refused without thinking, and said, "It's better not to sell if you can. If you really want to sell, then the price should be discussed carefully."

Xiao Yunhai said, "How much do you think it would be appropriate to sell them ten percent of the shares?"

Wen Yanhong thought for a while and said, "At least $500 billion."

Xiao Yunhai and Christie looked at each other and laughed.

Xiao Yunhai said, "The two beauties really see the same thing as heroes."

Wen Yanhong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's called having a good heart."

Xiao Yunhai said: "I have a reason to sell it. However, 500 billion is too little, and 800 billion is about the same."

Christie said: "Mr. Xiao, stop joking. Eight hundred billion, I am afraid that Mr. Apollo will be frightened by you."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "How big is the profit of arms, it is estimated that it must be at least 300%. Eight hundred billion US dollars, for Apollo, the cost is less than 300 billion. I am willing to exchange shares for them. Weapons and equipment have already given them a huge advantage. Look, he will definitely agree."

Only then did Wen Yanhong know that her boss actually wanted to control an army.

At noon, Xiao Yunhai invited the heads and key personnel of each company to dinner, and the atmosphere was very warm.

As soon as he returned to the office, Apollo Anderson called again.

"Mr. Xiao, I heard that you have returned to New York."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I'll take a look at my company. Mr. Apollo, after research, we think that 20% of the shares are too much, and we're only willing to sell 10%."

Apollo said dissatisfiedly: "Ten percent is too low, how about fifteen percent?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "Mr. Apollo, this is not buying vegetables at the vegetable market, any amount will do. Ten percent is already our limit, and the price is not cheap."

Apollo asked, "How much?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "800 billion dollars in arms."

"What?" When Apollo heard this, he almost jumped up and shouted, "800 billion dollars, Mr. Xiao, if it were you, would you agree?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "It could also be $500 billion in cash."

Apollo suddenly lost his voice. If he hadn't heard his breathing, Xiao Yunhai would have suspected that the other party had hung up.

After a while, Apollo gritted his teeth and said, "700 billion ammunition. This is our bottom line."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Mr. Apollo, I can tell you clearly that our Yunqing Network Company will make more than one trillion in profits every year in the future. Do you think this price is very expensive? The reason why I agree with you to use arms instead of cash. , mainly to have a good relationship with you. You don't really think that apart from the Anderson family, I can't buy arms. If nothing else, Huaxia is much cheaper than you. "

Apollo was silent again, and finally said: "I want to discuss with my father. If he has no opinion, I will give you a copy of the price list of various weapons."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Don't forget, the price is 70% of the market price."

Apollo said in a bad tone, "Mr. Xiao, you are so cruel."

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said: "Within five years, you will find that you have made a lot of money."
