Consumer God

The next day, Han Lie was woken up by Pan Zi's phone call.

He picked it up in a daze, and an angry accusation came from the opposite side: "You bastard, little red man, you cheated on me!"

"what?"

Han Lie doesn't know anything and doesn't know anything!

So, the voice asked eagerly: "Dad, what's the matter? Don't worry, I'll let my daughter listen together, you speak slowly!"

Pan Zi was dumbfounded.

Grass!
Dear family members, who of you has ever seen such a cheap son-in-law? !

The breath was stuck in Pan Zi's chest, making him unable to utter a word.

Then, Gou Lie really pulled Pan Ge who was sleeping next to him. Little Pacai couldn't wake up at all, and murmured, "What are you doing? It's annoying..."

Gou Lie took the phone away, and improvised his lines in a very serious tone: "Get up, my dad seems to have something..."

"it's okay no problem!"

Pan Zi was frightened to death on the spot, and changed his words decisively.

He was punished by his wife for lying about drinking flower wine, and then confronted his son-in-law to settle a small account. How could he have the face to tell Pan Ge about such a shameful thing?
"Then what, I didn't sober up, I made a mistake... You guys go on to sleep... Okay! Daughter! Son-in-law!"

Pan Zi gritted his teeth and spit out the last three words, but it was useless, and finally hung up the phone with blood in his hands.

Gou Lie casually threw the phone away, curled his lips in disdain: "Tch! I can't carry it clearly!"

What is your position in the family, you really don't know in your heart...

Then he hugged Pan Zi's little padded jacket and squinted again.

As for what kind of beating Pan Zi got... don't care, don't pay attention, don't care about me!
……

Sleep until you wake up naturally, and start a new busy life.

Gu Yitang's secretary had already contacted him last night, and this morning, he called Han Lie back.

"Mr. Han, I have already communicated with the person in charge of the relevant media about your lawsuits. The problem is not a big one. It is not a conflict involving core interests. The companies here in Shanghai will withdraw their lawsuits soon..."

"Thank you thank you!"

Han Lie warmly invited: "Secretary Zhang, I'll set up a game later, let's sit down and have a meal and chat?"

Secretary Zhang politely and sincerely refused.

"Mr. Han, I personally look forward to consulting with you face to face. I have already heard of your reputation.

But you may not be clear, the nature of my work is there, the degree of freedom is too low, and I am usually very busy. In the past half a month, today is the only day I can spend with my family. I have already made plans to take my daughter to the playground, so... …

Look, can I organize this dinner tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and we can chat together on business and personal matters? "

Ouch, this dude is interesting!

Han Lie had a good impression of this Secretary Zhang, who handled things properly and did not ignore them, so he agreed with him.

"Then tomorrow night, add me to Byte. There will be about eight people present. You will arrange where the dinner will be held. We will see you there!"

"Okay, thank you for understanding..."

Zhang Dami's attitude is very low, but this is not normal, maybe the secretary of another bureau dares to trip Han Lie, so Han Lie's attitude is also very polite.

"It's not impossible, Secretary Zhang, I'll report back after being kind."

……

10am.

Zhang Lidong brought Chen Lin and the staff of the legal department, a group of five, to the magic capital.

Today is Sunday, and their original plan was to meet with Han Lie to press for the lawsuit, and then go to Han Lie's company for an on-site inspection tomorrow.

The main thing is to look at all kinds of information about Tianxing, and be aware of the second shareholder of the company.

Sange Han drove the company's business car to pick them up from the airport and settled them down at the Ritz-Carlton downstairs.

Han Lie and Liu Minghao were waiting in the hotel lobby. Zhang Lidong walked up quickly and greeted warmly: "Mr. Han, how dare you bother you... Hey, where is Mr. Pan?"

Gou Lie almost couldn't help laughing.

President Pan?
Maybe it's not convenient to meet people today...

Of course, in front of outsiders, he must save enough face, so Han Lie talked nonsense.

"Mr. Pan is investigating another project. The initiator of that project is difficult to deal with. He may not have time for the past two days. He asked me to apologize to Brother Zhang on his behalf..."

"Hey, no, no, no!"

Zhang Lidong quickly waved his hands: "I just miss Mr. Pan very much. I have benefited a lot from his insights in management!"

Ah, yes, yes, his insights on being beaten by his wife are even more valuable to learn from!

A group of people chatted for a few words, and soon got to the point.

"Mr. Han, when can we start public relations?"

"What's the matter?"

Han Lie smiled casually: "When we are on our territory, how can we let the guests bother about this kind of thing?"

"Ai?!"

Zhang Lidong understood Han Lie's subtext, but he couldn't quite believe it.

Such a troublesome matter, when I communicated with Mr. Liu the day before yesterday, I didn't take any action. Most of the purpose of this trip is to urge Tianxing to do my best. Could it be...

He turned his head to look at Liu Minghao in astonishment.

Mr. Liu?
Liu Minghao nodded with a smile, confirming his guess.

"Well, the media here in Shanghai have already settled the case. There is no time to go through the procedure today, and the lawsuit will be withdrawn tomorrow."

After a pause, he said meaningfully: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. You can only clearly feel Mr. Han's influence when you come to Shanghai. This matter didn't even involve Mr. Pan... ..."

Look at Lao Liu's flattery!
How fresh and refined!

Not only did it hold Han Lie high, but it also boosted Pan Zi's strength and enhanced Tianxing's overall background.

In fact, Pan Zi can't help you with this matter at all, just don't make trouble...

So, what if Liu Minghao was able to win every battle without relying on professional ability to fight lawsuits?
It's not all background.

If you just talk about flattery, Uncle Yu has to stand aside.

Zhang Lidong, Chen Lin, and even the employees of the legal department were shocked.

Before coming here, they expected many situations, but this one was not included.

It's such a difficult thing, just take care of it? !

How solid is Mr. Han's foundation in Shanghai...

In fact, in real history, a number of media once pushed Byte to the verge of going to court. It was a two-pronged approach of finding someone outside the court + ceding land for compensation, and they achieved a settlement before the trial.

The so-called compensation for land cession is naturally more profit-oriented.

This directly led to Toutiao’s profitability not being as expected, and higher costs. The $1 million in financing was stretched in 2016, and then the C round of financing was launched.

Therefore, Han Lie did not intend to intervene too much in the distribution of benefits, using Papa Gu's power to forcibly interfere with the media.

It is not in his fundamental interest to develop Toutiao too well.

It is not a normal business practice for you to steal money from the media by following their heads. They must have resentment, and if things go on like this, you will suffer instead.

Moreover, once Byte increases revenue and cuts expenditure, and the valuation of the C round of financing is too much higher than that of the previous life, Han Lie will have to spend a lot of money to keep the 20% of the equity from being diluted.

That's no small fortune.

Investment behavior and no consumption experience, it is really unnecessary.

Therefore, Han Lie showed his strength in front of Zhang Lidong and others, and then he never intervened in normal business negotiations.

Even so, the communication with Modu Media is still very smooth.

Wenguang Group has 6 newspapers and magazines, 3 vertical new media brands, "First Finance and Economics" new media matrix and so on.

Compared with the thousands of media and new media in Shanghai, it seems nothing.

But it is no exaggeration to say that in the media arena of Shanghai, Wenguang is the absolute leader of the martial arts. One-third of the various media are founded by Wenguang people, and the rest follow orders.

It's so easy to do things from top to bottom.

On the second day, Zhang Lidong and others hurriedly visited the entire floor of Tianxing's frighteningly large office building, and then started a relaxed but boring business visit.

Under Han Lie's reminder, Zhang Lidong put in place the conditions that should be given, and directly swept the media circle in Shanghai.

After receiving the relevant news, the media in other provinces and cities who wanted to sue Byte also urgently stopped their actions and resumed communication.

Things began to develop in the most ideal direction, and Zhang Lidong was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear every day.

However, at this moment, Han Lie had already devoted his energy to more important matters.

In the first week of April, the broader market was extremely weak.

Han Lie's two funds began their first profit retracement since their establishment.

The securities companies, banks, Chinese prefixes, and mobile Internet-related companies that previously focused on building positions are all falling.

Zhongmei's customer service phone line suddenly became busy.

Zha Zha and Sister Qing Ting couldn't hold back and called to feel his mood.

Of course Han Lie didn't care, he didn't take it seriously.

Not only because of the self-confidence of the previous knowledge, even before the rebirth, Han Lie, who was very average, could bear a reasonable loss.

A stockholder who has really experienced correct training must be able to face up to risks and losses.

When buying a stock, it may follow the best judgment, or it may not.

As long as the fundamental logic of buying it has not changed, short-term losses are not wrong, but fluctuations that must be endured.

For example, AI must be positive in the long run, so if you buy a company with core competitiveness or great room for imagination, short-term fluctuations should not be a reason for you to doubt yourself.

A leek is a leek precisely because self-doubt begins at the slightest sign of trouble.

Han Lie didn't put any pressure on Jiao Fangyan at all, and gave an order to try his best to raise funds, and then devoted all his energy to the creation of quantitative strategies.

On Wednesday afternoon, the 1.0 version of Zhongmei Quantitative Strategy finally took shape.

There are two days of testing on Thursday and Friday, and a bunch of bugs need to be corrected every morning.

In the second week, I tested it for two more days and felt that it was quite OK. Han Lie called Yu Pingan to deliver the goods.

When Yu Ping'an came to the company, he was extremely excited.

"Mr. Han, how is the effect?!"

Han Lie himself didn't like the accuracy of quantification, but he said fiercely: "Leading in the country, it's very comfortable to run!"

"That……"

Yu Ping'an asked expectantly: "Should I send someone to study, or will you send two teachers to guide me?"

Han Lie wanted to deliver the goods as soon as possible, so he asked the other party to send someone to teach him.

Many people have a misunderstanding about quantification, always thinking that it is a programmatic transaction.

Actually not.

Real quantification is not a fixed set of rigid procedures, but a semi-intelligent strategy that is constantly changing according to the situation.

Quantitative engineers don't quit after writing the program. Every day they have to fine-tune the system, remove some bugs, modify some parameters, and manually intervene in certain operations.

Especially when there are major changes in policy and news in the market, the quantitative strategy is out of balance, and the trading manager has to manually judge the operation idea.

No matter how awesome Han Lie is, he has no ability to incorporate the influence of news into the entire system.

The only thing that can do this is the professional financial AI tool iterated by openAI. That thing is still not particularly mature in 25 years, but it has already shown signs of sweeping the financial market.

Another wave of AI evolution will surely be able to dominate the financial market undefeated.

It does not have all the weaknesses of human beings, rational, extreme, and pure.

Only AI of the same level can fight against it.

The international financial market includes the stock market, foreign exchange market, gold and crude oil, bulk commodities, derivatives, etc. How huge is that market?
Whoever masters the super financial AI first will be the next richest man in the world, and he will be the richest man at the crushing level.

However, according to Han Lie's speculation, if the super financial AI really appears, it is more likely that each sovereign country will return to financial islands and implement stricter and super-regulatory intervention.

How it will develop is still unclear.

However, mastering an AI company with sufficient potential in advance is the key to competition in the next generation.

In the original history, China was lagging behind. OpenAI was only the strongest and most famous large-scale language model, and none of the inferior models came from China.

Expanding to the company level, more than [-]% of the world's top AI companies are in Silicon Valley, [-]% are in China, and the rest are shared equally among the world.

China is the largest AI application market, but it is not at the forefront of technology.

Before Han Lie was reborn, domestic capital poured money into AI companies like crazy.

How crazy exactly?
An algorithm engineer who has some experience and is not too strong, originally got an annual salary of about 200 million, but he can find a new job at any start-up company, and he can get at least 500 million annual salary + 1000 million options.

Because most start-ups don’t expect to achieve any real results, but in the face of huge subsidies and crazy investors, they can tell a good story as long as they recruit enough talents.

With a story, there is enough money to burn, what if it does something famous?

Yes, they only want the quantity of talents, not the quality.

Because there are not a few top-quality talents in the field of artificial intelligence in China...

And investors and state subsidies know this situation, but they have to pinch their noses and vote for all companies, or those two words-what if?
ChatGPT really drove the country crazy at that time, not an exaggeration at all.

That kind of situation is like when the United States forced the former Soviet Union to engage in "Star Wars". They knew it was a pit, but they had to step in and gritted their teeth.

Falling behind is already falling behind, and there is no way to do it, but no one can afford the price of falling behind too much.

So at that time, the investment and financing circle was in a hurry, and the middle and lower levels had great opinions on the two horses and one Li.

The general opinion is: "Jack Ma really dared to be the first in the world when he was engaged in cloud computing, but unfortunately later he paid too much attention to the reputation and wealth of the family. superior.

As a result, you see, are you behind again?

Hey, Ali doesn't do it, Painxun is slow to catch up, Baidu does everything badly, which big domestic company can do it? ! "

At that time, Han Lie felt that the matter had nothing to do with him, so he followed up with a few words, made some comments, and then gave up.

But now, he had the desire to go deep into it and stir up the situation.

At the last gathering of overseas students, he had a lively chat with those academic masters who were engaged in algorithms in a friendly and easy-going way.

Of course, the current bytes are not enough to carry his dream.

However, even if he starts from scratch, Han Lie still has to try.

The first step is to expand the company's quantitative department, lose money to support them for ten years, and grind out the prototype of a financial AI!
The second step is to start early contact now, and invest heavily in AI companies as soon as the bull market is over!

The psychological plan was extremely clear, and Han Lie started digging holes again with a smile on his face.

"Brother Yu, come on, I'll allocate another 5000 million funds to you, and you can do it yourself!"

Yu Ping'an was obsessed with quantification itself, so he didn't move for a whole day during this run.

He was so excited when it was over.

"Mr. Han, you are so awesome! The logic of these judgments is absolutely amazing!"

Gou Lie raised his eyebrows: "How is it? Leading the country, are you not bragging?"

"No no!"

The stupid son of the landlord's family couldn't pick out a bad word, and even took the initiative to increase Han Lie's weight: "It's not just domestic! There is no better quantification in Europe than it!"

Although there is only buying and no selling operations today, as a true industry expert, Yu Ping'an can indeed see its potential.

The word awesome, I want to say it more than once!
So, Gou Lie's expression changed, and he saw the picture.

"Brother Yu, to be honest, I didn't expect that I could do it so well. I definitely won't go back on what I promised you, but judging from the current situation, our bargaining chips are not quite equal..."

Yu Ping'an was in the right mood, thought briefly, and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, the broken company of Byte is incomparable to the value of Mr. Han's quantitative strategy... OK, how do you want me to compensate, I will try my best!"

Hey, look, isn't this another win-win round?
Gou Lie smiled brightly, and at the same time his affinity was full, he put his arm around Yu Ping'an's shoulder.

Good brother, don't worry, I specified that I can't cheat you!
