You are worth tens of billions before you come to the system?

Lin Zitai returned to the hotel and rested for the morning.

Before I could meet with Zhang Yiming in the afternoon, Ma Yun called first and gave an accurate answer.

After a day and night of getting to know each other, Ma Yun roughly understood the extent of Ahri's brain-computer interface and artificial intelligence, and how far it was from the Penguin Group.

In this regard, Ahri is ahead of Penguin. Ali Cloud ranks third among the top 500 unicorn companies in the world, which is enough to prove it.

The only ones ranked in front of Ali Cloud are Zhang Yiming’s ByteDance and Musk’s Starlink.

Although the corporate valuations of the three companies are very different, the first one is more than one trillion, and the second one is more than three hundred billion.

Ali Cloud only has more than 100 billion, but that does not prevent them from becoming the third most promising unlisted company in the world.

"Okay, Mr. Ma, please prepare first. When I return to the capital city with matters concerning the capital, we will hold a press conference."

Lin Zitai simply freshened up, came to the hotel's reception room, and met Zhang Yiming of ByteDance.

Hu Jianren, born in 1983, graduated from Nankai University and is the founder of Toutiao and ByteDance.

Without the emergence of Lin Zitai, Zhang Yiming should be the youngest richest man in the country in the next few years.

The only person in the West who can compete with him is Musk, and even Zuckerberg is far behind. Because Douyin is a super-phenomenal software that can truly kill people all over the world.

The media barriers that the West is so proud of have torn open a hole.

Zhang Yiming smiled all over his face: "Mr. Lin, we have been friends for a long time. I shouldn't be late, right?"

Netizens say Nan Zitai and Bei Yiming, but how can he compare with Lin Zitai? Although his power on Byte's board of directors has not been eliminated, it is almost the same.

As for Lin Zitai, he is unequivocal in the Prince Group and has received treatment that many founders would envy.

But there is nothing they can do. They are grassroots entrepreneurs. Unlike Lin Zitai, who started in finance, he is not short of money at all, does not need financing, and will not have his shares diluted.

Lin Zitai smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Zhang, what can you eat? I went out to do some errands in the morning. I haven't come back until now."

Zhang Yiming: "You can just eat. I'll have a cup of coffee."

"Mr. Zhang, look at Byte's progress in this field."

Lin Zitai doesn’t hide it either. He wants to know Byte’s investment in research and development of artificial intelligence and brain-computer interface so that he can consider whether the two parties should launch in-depth cooperation for this purpose.

Zhang Yiming was stunned. He hadn't told anyone about this for a long time since Douyin became bigger and stronger.

Because there is no need. With today's scale, it is best for investors not to ask and just invest money. Facts speak louder than words.

They are not small businesses. They do not need to explain their understanding to investors carefully, describe their future prospects, and how to make profits in the future in order to obtain venture capital funds.

"Brain-computer interfaces have never been used before, and artificial intelligence is just getting started. We are mainly focusing on big data research and development to provide each short video user with the best content."

Zhang Yiming didn't like Lin Zitai's arrogance. Although he was talking so carefully, Lin Zitai was eating his lunch by himself, making it clear that he didn't take him seriously.

During the chat, Lin Zitai also briefly left for a few minutes because of the assistant's instructions, fully experiencing his arrogance.

Zhang Yiming said solemnly: "Mr. Lin, I don't think we need to talk anymore."

Having been in a high position for a long time, he could not accept Lin Zitai's arrogant attitude.

Moreover, Douyin’s investment in live streaming and e-commerce has initially yielded results. They should work harder and there is no need to change the development route rashly.

Brain-computer interfaces, artificial intelligence, and virtual worlds are indeed full of imagination, but they are destined to fail to develop in a short time.

They have enough time to work hard in their own fields first and lay a solid foundation before investing across industries. At that time, it is completely late.

Lin Zitai's smile continued: "Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, I just want to meet and chat with you today." Zhang Yiming frowned, and Lin Zitai continued: "In fact, we have already negotiated cooperation with Penguin and Ahri. "

Just now, Ma Huateng called and agreed to Lin Zitai's proposal for a three-party cooperation. Penguin and Ahri competed for the final say through technology research and development.

Tomorrow, they will hold a press conference in Shanghai to announce the specific projects of the three-party cooperation. At that time, Zhang Yiming will also know that he is being used as a weapon.

Lin Zitai simply explained the situation to him.

Byte was developing too fast, and there was no time to accumulate technology or launch other projects. He just came to the capital to do some things, and Byte was never within his scope of consideration.

Zhang Yiming was suddenly enlightened, and he relaxed his frown, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Lin, how do you cooperate?"

Lin Zitai is not urgent about this cooperation, and he is not urgent either. Otherwise, he would not stop talking because of Lin Zitai's arrogance.

Now that I know the situation, the grudge will disappear.

After all, there was no intention of cooperation from the beginning, so there was no way anyone looked down on the other.

"Our company is just a newcomer in this field, so subsequent projects will still be led by Penguin or Ahri."

Zhang Yiming was curious: "Penguin or Ahri?"

"It hasn't been determined yet."

In order to express his apology, Lin Zitai also informed some people appropriately about the cooperation between the three of them.

Zhang Yiming couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard that the two companies were competing for jobs. Only Lin Zitai could do this to allow the two giants to compete for the right to speak.

There is no pressure to cooperate,

The two of them chatted more casually.

After a while, Zhang Yiming suddenly asked: "Mr. Lin, last time you were at the Novartis Financing Xiangjiang Station, you said that your company is developing a drug that can effectively treat Alzheimer's?"

Lin Zitai nodded: "The company is indeed developing this project and has achieved preliminary results, but it is not yet ready for the market."

The effect of PE drugs is to increase the activity of neurons, and Alzheimer's patients have fewer and fewer active neurons because they are too old.

That’s why as time goes by, you remember less and less things and you forget them faster and faster.

The effect of the drug is just right to treat Alzheimer's disease, but the side effects of the drug are generally not tolerated by the elderly. The effect of the drug evaporates in ten minutes, which may take them away.

When they can solve the problem of side effects, they may choose to go on the market.

Zhang Yiming's face flashed with disappointment, and he explained: "To be honest, my father was diagnosed with this disease last year. Although the doctor said it was only in the early stages, and there are drugs at this stage that can effectively control the disease, but it is only a temporary delay and cannot be completely cured."

"Mr. Zhang, you don't have to be discouraged. I believe our scientific research team will do its best to develop it."

Lin Zitai suddenly realized that no matter how rich people were, they were still made of flesh and blood. As long as they were made of flesh and blood, they would be subject to birth, old age, illness and death.

Even if you are still young, the people around you are always getting older year after year.

In order to express his apology, Lin Zitai said: "If there are any results in the future, I will inform you as soon as possible."

"Many thanks."

Zhang Yiming left. The conversation with Lin Zitai just now made him learn a very crucial news.

The dominance of the cooperation has not yet been determined. Lin Zitai's adoption of competitive employment means that Byte still has the opportunity to get involved.

As long as they can establish a foothold in the e-commerce field as soon as possible and stabilize corporate revenue, they will have time to catch up and eventually intercept Hu Penguin and Ali. (End of chapter)
