Chapter 174: Enlightenment
He obviously had something on his mind but didn't say it.
As the head of the project team, his words must have a certain weight, but at this time he chose to remain silent, and he must have his own ideas.
Perhaps he was afraid that his words would destroy the democracy of the outcome, so he simply didn't say anything.
Shen Ci didn't force it, but just nodded gently. As an investor, she would not participate in the vote, but with eight people in the team, it would be easy for there to be a tie.
"Then let's vote by raising our hands. Since we're all of the same mind, let's not have a secret ballot. Those who agree with a one-time buyout, raise your left hand. Those who agree with an installment sale, raise your right hand."
“1, 2, 3, vote!”
As soon as Shen Ci finished speaking, some people raised their hands immediately, some raised their hands hesitantly, and some did not raise their hands.
Three seniors, Luo Tianrui, Ge Youcai and Yuanshuai, chose to sell in installments, while the other four seniors chose to buy out the property in one go.
Senior Sister Pei Pei did not raise her hand, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.
She pursed her lips and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, or rather, I think anything is fine."
Everyone put down their hands, and the expressions on their faces were complicated. In fact, the answer in everyone's heart was not completely certain, it could only be said that there was some tendency.
"Junior sister, you are an investor and have a veto power. In fact, it doesn't matter what we think. In the end, it all depends on your opinion." Luo Tianrui suddenly looked at Chen Ci and said.
Shen Ci naturally did not forget her rights as an investor, she just wanted to see what everyone really thought.
Shen Ci nodded, thought for a while, and then spoke gently: "Let me tell you some of my personal thoughts first, and then everyone can vote after listening."
Everyone nodded when they heard this, and looked at Shen Ci seriously.
Shen Ci said: “I personally think that if anything in this world is monopolized, it is not a good thing.”
"Our project may not have such a grand original intention, such as making a significant contribution to artificial intelligence or leading the industry forever. Perhaps everyone initially thought about making money, because artificial intelligence is the biggest trend now and in the future."
"But since we've chosen this industry, we can't help but consider its future development. If this project is bought out by a company, we might lose the initiative the next time we have new project results to trade with them. If we're bought out a second time, and then repeatedly, our team's voice as developers will become increasingly smaller, or even completely lost."
"Think about it, everyone. The impact and influence that the existing large corporations that monopolize industries have on other groups is what we have. The purpose of the country's introduction of the Anti-Monopoly Law is to allow all industries to flourish, rather than a single dominant company."
"I might have been exaggerating today, but this may not necessarily be a dilemma we face in the future. Sister Pei Pei said everyone is worried that this cutting-edge product might be replaced by other systems within the next three to five years. So why can't that replacement be created by us?"
"We are replacing ourselves. Today, we can all work together to create such an excellent project. In the future, I believe we can also create even more advanced products, constantly surpass ourselves, and continuously provide fresh technical support to the field of artificial intelligence, and we will be able to earn a steady stream of money."
"Unless everyone says you're just a flash in the pan and will leave the industry and change careers after finishing this project and getting paid, then just pretend I didn't say anything today."
"But if you've already decided to focus on optimizing and developing AI technology, then you shouldn't have supported a single company's decision to buy out advanced technology from the start. Only when the entire industry advances in unison and the overall environment improves can we all benefit and absorb greater advantages, right?"
Shen Ci's words were like enlightenment.
As expected, businessmen have their own vision and foresight for the future. No one in the entire team has thought so deeply, nor has they ever taken such a long-term view.
A temporary project can actually involve such far-reaching impact and significance, and Shen Ci's expression is very precise, and the analysis of the pros and cons is very reasonable and convincing.
Senior Sister Pei Pei raised her hand: "I have the answer. I support my junior sister's idea of selling it in installments."
The others also subconsciously looked at the people next to them, and then raised their hands to vote.
This time, their opinions were completely unified and they were all convinced by Shen Ci's words.
And then Shen Ci said: "The profit from selling in installments is actually much greater than a one-time buyout. For example, if a company offers 5,000 yuan to buy out a project, we will get a good profit in one go. It would take ten companies, each offering 500 yuan per year, to equal that."
"But this is only the first year's profit. If we buy it outright, we won't have any subsequent income. However, we can still receive royalties from various companies in the second year, and even more in the third year. Even if this program only lasts for three years, the money we earn in three years will definitely be much higher than a one-time buyout."
Everyone nodded. Everyone understood this principle, but the difficulty lay in where to find so many group companies willing to cooperate.
You should know that when the project was about to end, Luo Tianrui took the project details and went everywhere to look for investors, but he didn't find any. In the end, it was Shen Ci who took the initiative to find them.
Otherwise, I don’t know where this project is today.
They are well aware of the difficulty of finding cooperation, especially Luo Tianrui. Perhaps this is why he did not express his opinion just now. He knows that the reality is too difficult and his opinions cannot stand.
Seeing this, Chen Ci could roughly guess what was going on. She clapped her hands gently to encourage everyone, "The road ahead is long and difficult, but we have persevered through the most difficult part. Now we have a successfully tested product in hand, not just a few pages of paper. This gives us confidence. I believe that as long as we all work together, we will be able to achieve cooperation soon."
As she spoke, she looked at Luo Tianrui: "Brother Luo, do you still remember the place where we first met?"
Luo Tianrui nodded: "In the Gu family's villa garden."
Shen Ci smiled slightly: "The daughter of the Gu family is my best friend. I will find a way to talk to Uncle Gu again and try to promote cooperation with them."
Luo Tianrui's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Chen Ci nodded and continued, "As for Jiang's Group, Senior Brother Luo mentioned earlier that he learned at the artificial intelligence exchange conference that Jiang's Group has also begun to dabble in the field of artificial intelligence. I actually have had some interactions with Mr. Jiang Yuanliang, the chairman of Jiang's Group, but I wasn't sure if I could meet him before, so I didn't mention it."
