Chapter 397 The Next Kazuo Wada (4211)
There was a loud knock on the door. Just as the assistant was about to go over to open it, the door to the president's office was pushed open rudely.
"Sir, you can't go in there, sir!"
"Get out of here!"
From outside the door came the panicked voice of the girl from the president's office trying to stop her and the voice of an irritable man.
"Robert, it's been a week, why hasn't Chihiro been restored yet? Don't you see that Chihiro's stock price has plummeted to ashes?"
A middle-aged man with a big belly, accompanied by two tall and strong black men, broke through the obstruction of the president's office and rushed into Robert Lee's office. He put his hands on Robert Lee's desk and stared at Robert Lee's eyes fiercely.
Robert Li suppressed his anger and said, "Mr. Qian, our technical team is working hard to investigate..."
Before he could finish his words, the pot-bellied middle-aged man jumped up and started cursing, "Mr. Li, stop spouting these nonsense. I'm asking you, when will access be restored? I just spent 700 million on you before the outage! Are you setting me up for a honey trap?"
Robert Lee's temples were throbbing. He felt like a tiger in a desperate situation. Anyone could bully him.
That being said, he also knew that although this fat guy Qian Dinghui was just an ordinary person, the person behind the fat guy was not.
But am I afraid of you?
Who was it that had been crying and begging for inside information from me before?
I told you about BlackRock's financing in private with good intentions so that you could make some money. Now that you've lost money, you dare to cause trouble for me?
The trading volume increased a lot before the agreement between Qianxun and BlackRock was signed. Although there seemed to be no institutions involved, everyone understood where these seemingly normal transactions came from.
"Restore access?"
Robert Lee sneered: "Mr. Qian, we can resume access at any time as long as you can handle Yi'an Mansion."
After saying this, Robert Lee stood up with his eyes wide open in anger.
"What are you standing there for? Go! Go find Yi'an Mansion!"
Robert Lee roared.
"Isn't Yang Chongshan very powerful? Let him handle it!"
The fat man was startled by Robert Lee's sudden outburst. Looking at Robert Lee with red eyes and a crazy look, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
He never expected Robert Lee's reaction to be so big, and he would even expose Yang Chongshan who was behind him.
For a character like him, generally no one would mention the person behind him in front of him. This can be regarded as a tacit understanding between each other. Unexpectedly, Robert Lee seemed to have no scruples today.
"Can't handle it? If you can't handle it, then don't come here to make a name for yourself. Yang Chongshan is fine, but who the hell are you, Qian Dinghui? How dare you talk to me like that?"
With a "bang", Robert Lee slammed his fist on the messy desk, hitting a pen that was scattered on the table without a cap. The tip of the pen curled up, scratched the bottom of Robert Lee's fist, and then pierced deeply into the bottom of Robert's fist.
Blood slowly seeped out, leaving a bloodstain on the table.
Although Fatty Qian was not a good man, the gap in their social status was indeed too big.
"Boss Li is so impressive." The fat on Fatty Qian's face twitched a few times, and he smiled with a forced smile. "If that's the case, I'll report everything I need to do when I get back. Let's go."
After saying that, Fatty Qian waved to the two men in black and left Robert Lee's office angrily without looking back.
After Robert Lee sat down, he scratched his collar with two fingers. Just as he relaxed, he heard new noise coming from outside the door.
"Robert! What happened? You must give an explanation today..."
Another group of new creditors.
In just over an hour, four waves of uninvited guests came to Robert Lee's office, two groups came to accuse him and two groups came to ask for payment from suppliers.
After finally sending these people away, Robert Lee took two long breaths and picked up the phone to inform the security guard that no outsiders would be allowed to enter Qianxun Building without his permission, and if anyone broke in by force, he would report to the police.
In fact, he didn't even need to give any orders, as there were already police patrolling outside Qianxun Building, but there were some people that the police couldn't stop.
After sending these people away, I just took a breath when I heard footsteps outside the door again.
"Get out! No matter who you are! Get out!" Robert Lee leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and gasped, feeling like his head was about to explode.
"Even you have no right to ask me to get out of here."
A familiar voice sounded in Robert Lee's ears.
As soon as Robert Lee opened his eyes, he saw the familiar face and his expression froze.
Madeline was standing opposite him, looking at him coldly.
"When did you come back? What did you come back for?" Robert Lee's eyes dodged. "I'm here for now, so don't come back and get involved in this mess."
Madeline looked at him with disdain: "Don't worry, I'm not back to seize power."
"I don't think so." Robert Lee subconsciously denied, "I'm just worried that we are all in the country..."
Hearing Robert Lee's words, Madeline was slightly moved, her expression brightened, and she pulled out a chair opposite Robert Lee and sat down.
"That's exactly why I came back."
Madeline smoothed her hair, took out a stack of documents from her backpack and handed them to Robert.
Robert took the document and flipped through it, not understanding why Madeline wanted to show him this document that looked like a prospectus.
I didn't understand why Madeline came back at this time.
Sally ran away before, and Madeline returned to England the next day. Although it seems that everything is calm now, it is still dangerous to come back so soon.
Moreover, from an apparent point of view, Madeline has no relationship with Chihiro anymore. The Class B shares she holds have actually been transferred to Robert Lee. However, because Class B shares cannot be transferred, the excess voting rights will be lost after the transfer, so the transfer procedures have not been completed.
In exchange, Madeline gained control of the twelve trusts that she and Robert Lee had jointly opened, and issued a letter of authorization, allowing Robert Lee to exercise the voting rights of these shares on her behalf.
Why are you looking for me now with company information?
According to this document, the AI company called Chloe Neurotechnology has currently developed a new deep learning neural network architecture called "Chloe", with a parameter volume of up to 450 billion, and its performance surpasses Juzi2.5P of Yuzu Technology in all aspects.
The number of parameters of the "Chloe 2.0" version under development has exceeded 1.3 trillion, and the goal is to develop a large AI model with deep and continuous thinking capabilities.
Among the large models currently available on the market, no matter how much Facebook brags, the market generally recognizes that their "Tomato" large model may have larger parameters than Juzi2.5P, but its performance is still some distance away.
In the Mensa IQ test, Juzi2.5P was able to get a score of around 100 points when faced with IQ test questions that had never appeared on the Internet. This is similar to the median IQ of ordinary humans, while FB's Tomato only scored 80 points.
But if it is an IQ test question that has appeared on the Internet, FB's Tomato can get a score of more than 115, which is one standard deviation higher than the average human IQ.
In fact, insiders had already started criticizing Zuckerberg when he announced the news, saying that IQ tests are simply not suitable for evaluating AI capabilities.
The evaluation of AI models is more often measured through practical applications, such as text generation, reasoning, translation and other tasks, as well as standardized task benchmarks. Zuckerberg's claim that the IQ of "Tomato" exceeds that of ordinary humans is purely hype and is not worth mentioning at all.
It is hard to believe that this AI company named "Chloe" actually claims that its large model can crush Juzi2.5P.
Could it be that another Yuzu Technology is about to be born?
"What is the origin of this company? I've never heard of it before." Robert Lee frowned and rubbed his temples.
Madeline sneered, "Its origins don't matter. What matters is that this is a company worth three billion dollars."
Robert Lee was stunned. The long period of mental stress had slowed down his brain's reaction speed. It took him a full second or two to react, and his face showed horror.
"You! You mean..."
Madeline narrowed her eyes: "I didn't say anything, but do you really think Chihiro still has a chance?"
Robert Lee's eyes twitched, and he shouted angrily, "Do you know what you're talking about?! As long as the current downtime problem is resolved, Qianxun will still be the second largest search company in the world and the number one in the Great Zhou! Our foundation..."
"Have you forgotten how Google was defeated?" Madeline interrupted Robert Lee with a sneer. "No matter how great a product is, if it's inaccessible every few days, users will disappear."
"That's different!" Robert Lee opened his mouth for a long time, but didn't know how to refute Madeline. In the end, he had to wave his hand angrily, turned his chair to the other side, and didn't look at Madeline.
Before Google withdrew from Dazhou, its market share had already fallen far behind Qianxun, which was only about a quarter of Qianxun's market share.
But this does not mean that Qianxun was really more popular than Google back then.
It’s just that Google’s server was often inaccessible. Of course, some people later said that this was a self-torture tactic by Google, but no matter what, when the server was inaccessible from time to time, Google’s loyal users were forced to use Qianxun, which eventually became the direct fuse for Google’s withdrawal.
In fact, every time Google’s server becomes unstable, it will cause a considerable proportion of users to leave.
At that time, Robert Lee had reviewed and analyzed the situation with Qianxun's management.
But I never thought that I would face such a situation one day.
"Besides, Ysou is already number one in the Great Zhou." Madeline's words were like a knife. "Even if Chihiro recovers, do you think she still has a chance?"
"How can you say that!" Robert Lee's expression changed from anger to disappointment to heartache...
This company is also the result of your hard work!
Have you forgotten the days when we worked together?
"During this period, the search engine I used in the UK has always been Y search."
Madeline was silent for a moment. "Of course I have feelings for Qianxun, but after using Ysou for such a long time, I have to admit that Ysou's product strength is indeed far superior to Qianxun's."
"As an ordinary user, whether it's traditional or traditional content, Ysou offers a better user experience than Qianxun, and the search results are more targeted and helpful to users."
"From the looks of it, I guess you haven't found the problem that caused the malfunction yet?"
Robert Lee trembled slightly when he heard Madeline's words, but he didn't say anything.
"Every day we delay, Qianxun is one step closer to complete decline." Madeline sighed, "We all know that Yi'an Mansion will not compromise on this issue."
"How long can we hold out? A week? Two weeks? Even if we can find the problem tomorrow and restore access the day after tomorrow, can Chihiro really survive?"
"Although I've secured $3 billion in funding for you from BlackRock, if you don't lay off any employees, how long will this money last? Half a year or a year?"
Before Madeline could even ask a question, Robert Lee's face turned a shade paler.
"Chihiro has nothing to do with me now. I can completely ignore this matter. It won't affect the trust for me and the children in the slightest."
Madeline's eyes flashed.
"I just think that after working so hard for so long, isn't it time for you to think about yourself?"
Robert Lee's face couldn't help but show emotion when he heard Madeline's words.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
It turned out that she was the only one who truly cared about him when he was in danger.
Everything I have is in Chihiro. If Chihiro is really finished, then I will be another Kazuo Wada!
Kazuo Wada is the president of Yaohan in Japan. His mother is the prototype of the heroine in the legendary Japanese TV series "Oshin" more than 30 years ago.
Yaohan is considered one of Japan's legendary companies. It was once the largest chain retailer in the entire Yazhou, with more than 450 shopping malls in 16 countries around the world.
Until now, the First Yaohan in Haipu is still one of the landmarks of Haipu. A few years ago, when e-commerce was just emerging, the First Yaohan was still the shopping mall with the highest sales in Haipu.
It is true that Yaohan was founded by Kazuo Wada's mother, but Kazuo Wada actually made the greatest contribution to the company's development from a fruit stall to a world-renowned chain shopping mall group.
Unfortunately, in his later years, Kazuo Wada mistakenly trusted his younger brother, who was caught for falsifying accounts, leading to the company's reputation being ruined and the company's cash flow being cut off. As a result, Yaohan was eventually forced into bankruptcy.
Before his bankruptcy, Kazuo Wada was a big shot wherever he went, and was welcomed and treated with respect everywhere. He associated with people at the level of heads of state.
After bankruptcy, Kazuo Wada started a second business and came to Dazhou to participate in a TV program. As a result, a group of pseudo-experts and so-called entrepreneurs who had no right to talk to Kazuo Wada before talked in front of Kazuo Wada on the TV program, saying that the reason why Yaohan went bankrupt was because the company had lost the "Oshin" spirit.
Kazuo Wada knew clearly that what they said was nonsense, but for the sake of his livelihood, he could only smile and agree.
If Chihiro is finished and he has no money, he will end up like Kazuo Wada!
No! It will be worse than Wada Kazuo!
Robert Lee couldn't help but shudder and turned his gaze back to the pile of documents on his desk.
"But... this is already serious... Blackrock..."
"Besides, this is an Anglo-American company. Anglo-American and Miami-American extradition cases exist. I'm afraid..."
Robert Lee licked his lips, his heart pounding.
Madeline smiled slightly: "Are you stupid? It's true that Angguo and Maiguo have extradition, but Da Zhou doesn't."
Robert Lee slapped his forehead.
