Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

Chapter 134 Huayao Admits Cowardly, An Important Part of Mountain and Sea Ecology

"Lao Lu, artificial intelligence laboratory, is there any new progress?"

Rebs put down his coffee cup and asked Lu Bing opposite.

Since Kupai and HOC announced the release date of Moss's co-branded mobile phone, he feels that the aroma of coffee has faded a bit.

Lu Bing was silent and shook his head helplessly.

If there are results in a few months, painting software companies such as Meitu will not choose to surrender one after another and join the Moss Ai Alliance.

It is impossible for Lao Jia of Lelisi to be willing to give up 30% of the equity in the TV business.

"Eight months left."

Lei Jun thought in his heart that the contract expired in one year, and he had only two options, to join future technology or fight against future technology.

"Mr. Lei, how about we poach people directly from the other party's R&D team?"

Lu Bing hesitated for a moment, then suddenly opened his mouth to propose.

"This offends Chen Heyu to death."

Lei Jun sighed, a little hard to make a choice.

"The day we established the artificial intelligence laboratory, we had already offended him, and we were destined to be competitors."

Lu Bing said in a deep voice.

"You are responsible for it yourself, and help me recruit a group of people. I don't believe that they are the only ones in Huaguo who can make artificial intelligence."

Rebs stood up and walked in front of the French windows, overlooking the entire rice science and technology park. The future of the company was in his hands, and every decision would have a huge impact.

"Okay, Mr. Lei."

When Lu Bing takes over the task, real business wars are often simple and unpretentious. Poaching people, going undercover, and splashing dirty water are all one of the tricks.

……

"Hi, hello, is this Mr. Zhou Hai?"

Zhou Hai is a middle-level researcher of Future Technology. After breakfast in the cafeteria, he was about to return to his work station and start his day's work when he suddenly received a strange call.

"Well, who are you?"

Zhou Hai replied in doubt.

"I'm the HR of Houde Headhunting Company. Would you consider a new job opportunity? This position is very suitable for you, and the salary is also very generous."

The young lady headhunter on the phone had a crisp and touching voice.

Zhou Hai laughed. Are there any other artificial intelligence companies in China?
Why don't you know?
With the idea of ​​finding out the news, he decided to continue chatting with the other party, not because of her gentle and touching voice.

"Oh, it's convenient to disclose, which company is it?"

Zhou Hai tentatively said.

"Sorry, Mr. Zhou, I need to keep the employer's information confidential before you agree to the interview, but I can tell you that the other party is a big company, not inferior to the BAT Big Three."

Miss Headhunter smiled lightly.

"My annual salary is more than 40 yuan, what conditions can the other party offer?"

Zhou Hai joked.

"Oh my god, are there so many? It's terrible!"

The headhunting lady was stunned. Before making this call, she had done enough homework, and the core information she learned was that the monthly salary of a future technology researcher is between 1.5 and 2.

Zhou Hai's offer exceeded her expectations!

This is because headhunting companies calculate based on 12-month salary, but employees of Future Technology generally get 18-month salary.

With such a big gap, could it be that Zhou Hai wants to raise his own value?
"Mr. Zhou, as long as you agree to change jobs, you can at least increase by 30% on this basis."

The headhunting lady let go of her doubts, recorded the question, and continued to seduce.

Anyway, the rice group paid, and she was in charge of the negotiation first.

"Then how many hours do they work every day?"

"How many days off do you have every year?"

"Do you need to take time off to work on holidays?"

"Is there supplemental business insurance? Will it cover my family?"

"Is there any food allowance, transportation allowance and rent allowance?"

"Is there an equity award?"

Zhou Hai's series of questions made the headhunting lady confused. Could it be that he has these benefits in future technology?

Incredible!
What kind of fairy company is this!
The headhunters wanted to ask him first, boss, is your company still recruiting?

Good professionalism enabled her to quickly adjust her mentality and answer Zhou Hai's questions one by one.

"Mr. Zhou, the employer is an Internet company, there will be overtime, and the working hours will not exceed 10 hours a day;
The annual leave is 5 days per year, and 10 days if you have worked for more than 7 years;
Holidays follow the legal system;

There is commercial supplementary medical insurance, which can only be used by employees themselves;

For equity and other information, I still need to confirm with the employer. "

Zhou Hai looked disgusted when he heard the words, what kind of rubbish company is this, only giving a 30% increase, and you want him to work overtime?

Are you kidding me?
Roughly calculated, the hourly salary did not rise but fell, and a lot of benefits were lost, Zhou Hai laughed angrily.

"I'm sorry, after listening to your introduction, I can't feel the slightest sincerity. Maybe I will contact you when I want to change jobs in the future."

Zhou Hai directly refused, and the meaning in his words was very clear.

The headhunting lady was dumbfounded, and before he hung up the phone, she asked for his WeChat ID, and Zhou Hai readily agreed because of the beautiful words of the girl.

Back at his work station, he told his colleagues about the matter, but unexpectedly, the other party also received a call from a headhunter.

Zhou Hai realized that something was wrong, he got up and asked his surrounding colleagues, and found that most of them had received calls from headhunters.

He immediately walked to Wei Gang's work station and reported, "Mr. Wei, someone is poaching people on a large scale..."

Then, he told the story of the incident, Wei Gang frowned and said lightly: "Okay, I understand."

Then, Wei Gang reported the situation to Zhang Nan.

Zhou Hai picked up his phone and clicked on the new friends section. There was a girl with a cute headshot. Is she a headhunter?

"Pretty pretty."

He clicked the agree button and secretly chatted with the girl.

……

"Boss, recently a headhunter has been secretly contacting the company's researcher."

Zhang Nan called to report.

"Oh? Who is such a rich man?"

Chen Heyu smiled and said that with the salary he gave, he could live a prosperous life in a beautiful country. Spending money to recruit people will not be feasible in the future with technology.

Because all researchers and engineers will get a lot of valuable equity on the day they become full-time employees. Salary is only a small part of the salary and welfare system, and equity is the big meal.

In the future, if the company goes public or repurchases, these shares will be enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. Anyone with a normal mind will not choose to change jobs and backstab their old employers.

"Rice's Rebus."

Zhang Nan said word by word.

"Mr. Lei? No wonder I haven't asked me out for coffee for a long time. It turns out that I have a new idea. Has anyone proposed to resign?"

Chen Heyu asked curiously.

"Not currently. Most of the employees reported the situation to the company in a timely manner after receiving the headhunting call. After investigating the headhunting company, I found out that the operator behind it is Dami Group."

Zhang Nan explained.

Compared with Dami Group, Future Technology is the God of Wealth of the headhunting company. On balance, some companies that have made good friends with her secretly released internal information to her.

"Technical personnel have signed non-compete agreements. If anyone is tempted, let the legal department directly solve it."

Chen Heyu said coldly.

His remuneration, benefits, and working environment are all top-notch in China, but some people are stupid if they are not guaranteed, and coupled with the constraints of the law, he is more at ease.

"Boss, I will handle it properly."

Zhang Nan promised.

Chen Heyu put down the phone, thinking to himself that it was within his expectation that Rebs dared to challenge.

How can someone who is used to being a boss be willing to be his younger brother?

But take your time, don't worry, Rebs hasn't felt the pressure of survival yet, he has prepared several plans in his mind, all tailor-made for him, and needs to break down the opponent's psychological defense bit by bit.

……

mid to late December.

Kupai Dashen and HOC ONE mobile phones equipped with Moss intelligent voice system were released one after another.

The main sales positions of these two companies are online, easily breaking the record for the number of mobile phone reservations in Jingdong Mall.

In that month, Kupai Dashen sold 100 million units. This thousand-yuan magic machine and Moss joined forces and set a good result of No.1 in the March shipment list. Lian Xiang, who relied on contract machines to occupy the market Down.

HOC ONE is a high-end machine, its sales volume is not as good as that of Kupai, and it still sells 30 units. The big boss of the business line, Cai Zhen, laughed.

"The money is worth the extra money. Hurry up and increase production capacity. We can't give up the low-end market even if we choose a thousand-yuan machine."

He ordered to his subordinates.

Seeing this, Jia Ting of Lelisi immediately announced the release plan of Moss's co-branded TV, which ignited the enthusiasm.

Secretly opened, Lelisi super mobile phone research and development plan, directly take rice's flagship mobile phone, pay tribute to the pixel level.

In the new year, in the first quarter, all these major Internet events seem to be inseparable from Moss, the artificial intelligence.

Sanxing's market share was crazily squeezed, and it fell by 5 points at one point. Cui Youzhen tried his best to stop the decline.

Park Changcan was very angry, staring at the alluring Cui Youzhen in front of him, he said lightly: "Don't you have anything to explain to me?"

"My lord, Rice, Kupai and HOC are all equipped with the Moss system. Our mobile phones have no advantages and lack competitiveness. I have made a huge sacrifice to keep 20% of the market."

Cui Youzhen said softly, unbuttoned the neckline with her slender hands, and bent over in front of the table, trying to get the minister's forgiveness.

"If this continues, it will be very difficult for me. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep you."

Park Changcan's eyes lit up, white flowers blooming, what a charming scenery, he said cryptically.

"Oppa~"

Cui Youzhen bit her lip and whispered.

Park Changcan was like a wild dog in an iron cage. When he heard the signal, he felt it instantly. He walked around behind her and whispered, "Your sacrifice is indeed great. I can see it."

After all, physical activity to relive youth began.

About ten seconds later, Park Changcan let out a soft growl, and slowly stopped his simple and boring movements, and lay back on the soft chair.

"call!"

He recalled the short-lived happiness just now, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses, and said to Cui Youzhen who was already dressed: "Go to Yancheng, I made a work report to the headquarters last week, and we also need to use the Moss intelligent system , to open up the market for the mobile phone business.”

It is impossible for Park Changcan to be a complete idiot to take this position. In order to keep his position and market, he tried his best to convince the headquarters.

"Yes, my lord."

Cui Youzhen replied, not daring to reveal the resentment in his heart.

"Go out."

Park Changcan waved his hand feebly, signaling the other party to get out.

……

In the mobile phone market, the sales volume of Kupai and HOC has been rising steadily, as if reborn, which also stimulated Lianxiang, Huayao, Zhongxin and other companies.

"In one year, are you sure to make an intelligent voice system?"

Huayao's vice president, with a tense face, asked the person in charge of the technology opposite.

"Yes, but the function is only [-]% of Siri's level at most."

The person in charge of the technology replied boldly, but he didn't have the slightest chance of winning in his heart.

"How does it compare to Moss Intelligence?"

asked the vice president.

"Incomparable..."

The person in charge of the technology looked embarrassed, lowered his head and replied, voice intelligence involves too many technologies, and it takes at least three months to build a complete team.

How could it be done in one year?
The vice president sat down slumped, and it seemed that he could only buy the road with money. After making up his mind, he immediately reported to the higher authorities and prepared to start the second round of negotiations with Future Technology.

Lianxiang and the person in charge of Zhongxin's mobile phone business also had similar ideas. Several giants in the domestic mobile phone industry gathered in Yancheng again.

This time, there is also a delegation from Goryeo Sanxing.

Zhang Nan was responsible for the reception. She led the business team and met and discussed with the heads of various companies.

"Mr. Zhang, Huayao has no objection to the authorization fee you mentioned last time, and is willing to accept the previous plan."

The representative of Huayao Mobile is a VP of the business line, who is in charge of the two major modules of marketing and sales, but in front of Zhang Nan, he also lowered his arrogant posture.

"Mr. Zhang, Lian thinks and agrees."

The representative of Lian Xiang immediately stated that if he wants to maintain market share, he can only accept the authorization conditions of Future Technology.

They have paid the chip and chip architecture patent fees, and there is nothing shameful about paying an intelligent voice authorization fee. If they can make money, it is not a shiver.

Seeing that the two big bosses agreed, Zhongxin didn't dare to put on airs, and replied with a smile: "I'm fine, when can the contract be signed?"

Everyone came with a mission, and the early completion of the early peace of mind, the mood is particularly urgent.

"Mr. Zhang, Sanxing also needs to be authorized by Moss."

Cui Youzhen is fluent in Chinese, so she made a request along with her.

"Section Chief Cui, I may disappoint you. The boss explained that Moss's authorized use is limited to domestic mobile phone brands."

Zhang Nan smiled slightly.

"This is not fair!"

Cui Youzhen was impatient, she couldn't get the authorization contract, how could she go back and explain, when she thought of Minister Park's ugly face, she panicked for a while.

"The boss' request, I'm just a wage earner, I hope you understand."

Zhang Nan narrowed his eyes and explained.

The boss doesn't want to see Koreans, so she must strictly enforce it. No matter how pestered Cui Youzhen was, she didn't let go.

Finally, ask the security guard directly to send the other party away.

The representatives of Lianxiang, Huayao, and Zhongxin were a little bit aggrieved at first, but when they saw that Sanxing had not been authorized, they immediately burst into smiles.

In an instant, I felt that the authorization contract in my hand was extraordinarily important.

The next day, the three major mobile phone brands announced to the outside world their plan to launch Moss co-branded mobile phones.

Fans raised their hands in support, and more and more mobile phone manufacturers choose to carry the Moss system, which is also a good thing for them.

Seeing this situation, Rebs regretted his previous decision, and might as well agree to Chen Heyu's harsh conditions at the beginning.

If Rice obtains the exclusive authorization, it will certainly be able to win more mobile phone market share within a year and break into the top three.

But now, he has stood on the opposite side of future technology.

After the contract expires, it will be the darkest moment for Rice. I hope the laboratory can complete the system development and not reach the level of Moss. He is satisfied with only half of the functions.

At the same time, the first 4G phone bill package is officially launched!

Compared with the network speed and tariff in the 3G era, the price of 4G traffic is more cost-effective, so Chen Heyu immediately switched to the new package.

Otherwise, I will get stuck when watching a movie, which will affect my good mood.

After the advent of the 4G era, the business focus of the Internet giants began to slowly shift from the PC side to the APP side, and the applications are booming.

He took this opportunity to establish Shanhai Video Technology Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shanghai, and the office area is next to Shanhai Film and Television.

Shanhai Video's PC website and APP applications are all under development, with a research and development team of hundreds of people working in an orderly manner.

"Old Zhou, is there any progress in what I told you last time?"

Chen Heyu called Zhou Xiaoyu.

"President Chen of Shengda promised to meet with you, but whether he wants to sell Shengda literature or not, we have to talk face to face.

From the tone of the other party, he probably just wants to meet you, to see what kind of abilities No.1 in the field of AI has. "

Old Zhou replied.

"You go with me."

Chen Heyu thought for a while and said to Lao Zhou.

Shanhai Video has entered the research and development stage, and only lacks a basic IP manufacturing pool to complete the ecological chain. Shengda Literature is a link he must acquire.

Thinking of the upcoming meeting, he suddenly thought that he had already met two of the richest men in the country, the e-commerce horse and the social horse.

Cheng Tianqiao sat on the throne of the richest man in 2012, and made his fortune with an online game "Legend". Today, his net worth has exceeded tens of billions.

In the business world, he is a veritable bigwig.

In his previous life, he sold Shengda Literature to Penguin in 2015.

"I think Shengda is a highly mature company that has also encountered growth bottlenecks. Selling it is positive for the group."

Chen Heyu had paid attention to relevant information in his previous life. According to the information obtained from the Internet, Cheng Tianqiao sold Shengda Literature at that time. When interviewed by the media, he used this reason.

But in this life, from a business point of view, he keenly discovered that Shengda Group's funds are mostly concentrated in the online education and game fields. Comparing these two tracks, the value and profitability of online articles obviously cannot satisfy these former richest men .

Well, there is only one truth. Cheng Tianqiao's cash flow has problems, and he urgently needs a sum of money to relieve the group's pressure.

On the last Thursday of March, Chen Heyu, Zhou Xiaoyu and a group of people sat in a luxurious Maybach car and drove towards Shengda's headquarters in Shanghai.

"Old Zhou, do you have a value evaluation plan for Shengda Literature? Show it to me."

Chen Heyu opened his mouth and said.

"Yes, it was just sorted out this week, mainly using the cash flow method and the price-earnings ratio method to make valuation assessments. The source of the data is the opinions of PricewaterhouseCoopers, combined with information from investment banks.

There is a certain difference between the two reports, the lowest is 23 billion, and the highest is 29 billion. "

Zhou Xiaoyu explained, and the assistant on the side handed over the documents.

Chen Heyu took it over and looked it over. After all, he came to buy things at home, and the price was high or low, so he had to know it well in order to be able to advance and retreat.

In the last life, Penguin spent 40 billion to 50 billion to acquire it a year later, but there is no specific figure, so it can only be used as a reference for him.

Before the outbreak of 4G, he started ahead of time, hoping to be the first to catch a big leak.

After more than 30 minutes, a majestic commercial building stood in front of me, with a huge "Shengda Group" signboard hanging on the top floor.

　Good night, gentlemen, I'll see Brother Qiao tomorrow
