Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

Chen Yiran's communication with Sogou was far from ideal.

The main issue is that Sogou's thinking remains very unrealistic. Their parent company, Sohu, is completely unwilling to sell its shares and simply wants to discuss technical cooperation with Chen Yiran.

Their main reason for contacting Chen Yiran was voice input. Sogou had previously invested a great deal of effort in overcoming the technical challenges in this area. However, the emergence of Doubao stunned them. On Doubao, understanding dialogue and successfully inputting data were the most basic applications, putting them far ahead of Sogou in terms of technology.

Sogou had no choice but to come and beg for cooperation, confidently stating that they had 200 million users, a huge traffic pool, and that once users were cultivated to use their services, the market would be limitless.

Chen Yiran would have started cursing if he had a bad temper. Although he wasn't sure what happened to Sogou later, he was certain that it didn't make any money.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have switched to iFlytek or WeChat input method later. Sogou definitely didn't succeed, and now they actually want to take advantage of his technology for free?

Chen Yiran decisively blocked Wang Xiaochuan's number and notified Lin Xiao of Wanguoyuan that all inquiries from Sohu should be thrown in the trash, as this kind of company would go under sooner or later.

In July and August, Chen Yiran began to painstakingly and relentlessly struggle with Oracle's codebase.

More than 20 million lines of various codes, dozens of modules intertwined, and the white paper alone is more than 400 pages long.

Oracle also specially organized a team of 25 people to help him answer the various internal logics of the execution engine that were heavily commented out.

In reality, Chen Yiran only asked them a few questions occasionally to give them a sense of participation, specifically tricky ones, so that they would have something to do.

In fact, Jasmine devoured the entire codebase in a week, and the subsequent work was not difficult.

This work unexpectedly had a positive impact on Jasmine, as it was the first time she had ever seen such a massive transaction concurrency control system.

This structure, which forcibly maintains data consistency with a dozen or so modules, the logical structure of distributed locks on servers in various locations, and the ultimate way to squeeze every last drop out of the random read/write mode of mechanical hard drives in the storage engine.

This is an artistic work that Oracle engineers have poured their hearts and souls into over the past thirty years, greatly enriching Jasmine's technical pool.

After this experience, Jasmine gained a better understanding of enterprise-level, ultra-large-scale data consistency, which meant she had finally pieced together the last piece of the technical puzzle.

At the end of August, Chen Yiran finally submitted the final dependency analysis report. In fact, he was now capable of making changes, but that would come at a different price, and a private jet wouldn't be enough.

Jasmine was quite excited and kept talking.

[This past month, I feel like I've experienced what it's like to binge eat.]

"This is a mountain of code, are you sure you want to describe this work as 'binge eating'?"

【(￣ー￣) I am an intelligent agent using your brain as a large model; if I eat, you eat.】

Chen Yiran ignored her and turned on his computer to check the F1 race schedule.

【查什幺呀，我都记下来了。五天之后，9月11-12日：义大利大奖赛。9月25-26日：新加坡大奖赛。

I suggested we visit the last two stops; we won't be in a rush and can explore the area, plus the food in Italy is quite good. Then we can go to Singapore and check out our family office, although there weren't any staff there.

"Going to Bahrain is also an option. You can check out the park development there. I remember Bahrain has a lot of fun activities."

【╮(╯▽╰)╭But as the new owner of McLaren, I should at least support the team first. Besides, I've already sent quite a few people to optimize the technology, and we're already a tiny bit competitive.】

But after he booked the charter flight and packed his luggage, he received a call from South Korea that brought him very bad news.

The caller was Lee Jae-yong, president of Samsung Electronics, the de facto operator of the Samsung Group, and the future head of the Lee family.

The two had spoken on the phone several times before. Because their cooperation had been very pleasant and their communication had been smooth, Lee Jae-yong had even invited him to visit South Korea, which gave Chen Yiran some hope.

However, Lee Jae-yong's tone was not good this time: "Mr. Chen, there's been a problem, and I think I need to inform you as soon as possible."

Chen Yiran frowned and asked, "What happened? You don't sound well."

Lee Jae-yong explained, "It's a very bad situation. Google is being a bit domineering. Samsung started negotiations this quarter for the next round of licensing agreements with Google for its entire suite of services, which will be available next year."

Google previously had some unfair terms, such as requiring users to default to Google as their primary search engine when installing its suite of software. This time, several new terms have been added, requiring the default voice assistant to be a Google product released in January of next year.

Furthermore, no pre-installed or actively displayed voice interaction function entry points other than those owned by Google are allowed, and users must go through three levels of confirmation before switching the default voice engine.

Chen Yiran was a little angry: "Is this so blatant? Taking advantage of Google's market share, they're forcibly bundling it with other products!?"

Lee Jae-yong was also a little angry: "That's right, it's very domineering. But there's not much we can do about it. Of course, I don't want to lose Doubao. Our cooperation, from EDA to Doubao, has always been pleasant."

However, we simply cannot afford to lose the entire Google suite. As you know, in most European and American countries, devices without the Google suite are practically unsellable.

Chen Yiran was silent for a few seconds: "It's okay, I'll figure something out. Google mentioned the cooperation model with Doubao to me before, but I rejected it. They know you will definitely inform me of these terms, so they're probably trying to put some pressure on me."

"It's possible, but it still needs to be taken seriously. They also proposed a very ridiculous additional agreement: any software services provided by companies related to you to Samsung, their API call records need to be submitted to Google Open Platform's compliance department. They want the frequency of API calls and geolocation tags."

"Wait a minute, are they crazy? Won't this trigger antitrust laws?"

"Maybe they're being pushed to the limit? Even with antitrust measures, it takes time, and at worst, it'll just come down to a fine. They might be trying to buy some time. Besides, the EU and the US Federal Trade Commission have been focusing on search, and nobody's really saying anything about Google's suite of services."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for letting me know in time."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yiran felt that she could no longer suppress her anger.

[o(￣ヘ￣o＃) Google, you bastard! We have to fight back! Let the carnivorous plants blow them up, or just wipe out their search servers!]

Chen Yiran didn't do that; it would be too foolish. He opened his phone and started tweeting.

"I've heard that Google is so domineering, completely disregarding antitrust laws and openly demanding that companies using the Google suite must use Google Search and Google's garbage voice assistant. They even directly stated that any API calls, call frequency, and geolocation tags from companies related to me need to be submitted to Google."

Wow, this is what a lawless company looks like. Well, let me make this clear in advance: early next year, I will be updating the licenses of all my EDA companies, adding special Google terms.

No company may sell chips developed, designed, or manufactured using our EDA tools to Google. Any violation will result in immediate termination of the license. Chips designed or manufactured using FlowEDA software must have their accompanying drivers certified by FlowEDA to ensure a fair access environment for multi-platform voice interaction.

Don't accuse me of monopolistic practices! You know I've always admired the Google spirit, and this is something I'm learning from Google.

Given Chen Yiran's stature and the outrageous tweet that literally flipped the table, it immediately ignited all the news media.

Google's top executives were completely dumbfounded.
