The old man's will is firm.
On that day, Yu Dazui and other Huayao executives simply packed up their things and boarded a plane to Tianhai City.
Some people may think that Huayao is making too much fuss. It is just an artificial intelligence technology and is not very mature yet. It is not necessary to take it so seriously and even regard it as a matter of life and death.
Besides, Huayao’s main business is network communication technology, and mobile phones can only be regarded as a sideline business. After the emergence of Dark Technology’s artificial intelligence technology, it will at most affect Huayao’s software business, and will have little impact on hardware.
It is unlikely that Huayao will collapse immediately after the emergence of artificial intelligence technology.
Of course, anyone who can sit in the senior leadership of a company with hundreds of thousands of employees is not stupid or mediocre. At least their perspective on things is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Artificial intelligence technology represents an imaginative future.
No matter which field artificial intelligence is applied to, the field will undergo earth-shaking changes.
For example, in the medical field, if artificial intelligence masters a series of medical theories and then self-studies for a period of time, when people go to the hospital for surgery, the robotic arms controlled by artificial intelligence can perform surgery on patients, replacing a considerable number of doctors.
If applied in factories, it can greatly reduce the number of workers, reduce production costs and improve production efficiency.
In addition, a large number of intelligent robots can be produced to take over most of the work that needs to be done by humans, and even completely eliminate low-skilled jobs, freeing humans from simple, repetitive labor.
In short, no matter which field, as long as artificial intelligence is used, a huge change will break out.
The benefits contained therein are unimaginable.
If Huayao missed this opportunity and failed to catch up with this trend, even if the company's revenue would not be greatly affected in the short term, in the long run, it would sooner or later suffer a dimensionality reduction attack and be defeated by the trend driven by artificial intelligence.
Therefore, no matter what, Huayao cannot fall behind in this competition and must obtain the most advanced artificial intelligence technology!
After Yu Dazui and the others discussed it, the first thing they thought of was to buy it from Dark Technology.
"The last time I came to Tianhai for negotiations, Mr. Li from Dark Technology made it clear that their AI technology could be purchased for licensing or lease, or it could be bought outright! They're willing to sell their AI technology!"
"And if I heard correctly, the buyout price Mr. Li mentioned is no less than 10 billion. This means that about 10 billion can buy out the artificial intelligence technology."
"At the time, I thought it was expensive and didn't even want to listen to it. Now it seems like I missed out on a huge opportunity!"
Yu Dazui's face was full of regret. If he could turn back time, he would definitely say ten thousand deals.
"I don't know if the price will remain the same, but it's clear that Mr. Li is either desperately short of money or doesn't fully appreciate the potential value of this technology. This is good news for us; at least we still have hope of buying the technology."
"Besides, Mr. Li's target price isn't too high, so we still have a chance to get a great bargain!"
Yu Dazui spoke excitedly. He felt that there was still great hope of buying artificial intelligence technology from Dark Technology.
However, given Huayao's emphasis on research and development and self-reliance, how could they even think of paying for it?
In fact, if core technology can be purchased on the market, why should Huayao carry out the arduous independent research and development?
Foreign advanced technology will never be sold to Huayao, and you can’t buy it even if you have money!
Since Dark Technology was willing to sell its core technology and the price was right, why wouldn't Huayao buy it? They were overjoyed.
…
Dark Technology Corporation.
Inside the conference room.
Looking at the Huayao executives sitting across from him, Li Wei shook his head: "20 billion, you want to buy artificial intelligence technology? Are you taking me for a fool?"
"That's absolutely not my intention, Mr. Li!"
Yu Dazui said sincerely and apologetically, "Doing business is a process of bargaining. If Mr. Li is not satisfied, the price can be increased until it meets the psychological requirements of both parties."
"My target price is 1 trillion. Can you afford it?" Levi said expressionlessly.
"How is this possible, Mr. Li!"
Yu Dazui smiled wryly, "Last time we discussed this, you said it would only cost around 10 billion. Now it's gone up a hundredfold. Even if I sold Huayao, I could still raise that much money."
"It's a different time now. Who made you not seize the opportunity?"
"Mr. Li's lesson is true. I'm deeply regretful now. But Mr. Li, please don't be so exaggerated. Who can afford one trillion? How about 50 billion? Your company's artificial intelligence technology is very powerful, but it's still in its early stages and not yet mature and complete. It's just a good potential stock, but no one would buy a piglet at the price of a full-grown pig."
"The problem is that the adult pigs you mentioned may be worth more than 10 trillion. What's wrong with selling the piglets for 1 trillion?" Levi said without falling into the trap.
The two sides began to bargain back and forth.
Yu Dazui and the others were so exhausted from talking that they took turns trying to convince Levi.
But Levi is not stupid. His butler Bowen has analyzed the value of artificial intelligence technology in detail for him. The potential is even greater than that of the high-energy battery project. If it can penetrate into various fields, the value it creates and drives may be over one trillion.
Just one trillion to buy out artificial intelligence technology, Levi doesn't think it's an exaggeration.
However, Yu Dazui and others were also very persistent. They kept pestering us and could not be driven away. They acted like rogues who would not give up until they achieved their goal.
Levi was annoyed and talked with them for two more days. He made some concessions and on May 28, the two sides finally reached a strategic cooperation.
The cooperation mainly includes three aspects:
1. Huayao will provide 100 billion in cash as the cost of buying out the technology and pay the full amount within three years.
2. After acquiring the technology, Dark Technology will charge Huayao Company a patent fee of 30 yuan for each device for any smart application developed based on the "Smart AI Assistant".
3. Within three years, Huayao shall not develop artificial intelligence voice similar to Dami Technology’s “Tian Ai Tongxue” on mobile phones to avoid competition.
The above three.
Levi felt that he had given up considerable benefits only in exchange for sufficient funds in the short term... However, this matter was somewhat beyond his expectations. Originally, he just planned to make a small move in the Internet field and leave with a pot of gold.
Huayao could only be barely satisfied, thinking that if it invested the 100 billion yuan in independent research and development, it might be able to develop its own artificial intelligence technology. However, time did not allow it. Once it lost the initiative, it would fall behind in every way. It had no choice but to accept three rather harsh terms and give up considerable benefits.
…
Huayao and Dark Technology have reached a strategic cooperation.
And on May 28, it was announced to the outside world.
Just like a calm lake, a blockbuster bomb suddenly dropped, instantly exploding in the technology circle and public opinion field!
