Xu Zhe: "I'm at home, you saw it too."

Tang Lingfei smiled and said, "That's great. I have something to talk to you about. I don't quite understand a math problem the teacher taught me today. Can I ask you a question?"

Xu Zhe glanced at the computer screen. The screen contained company information, which was not very important, but he would be worried if he didn't look at it more often.

However, compared to reading company financial statements alone, explaining the questions to beautiful girls seems to be more interesting.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll open the door for you."

Tang Lingfei asked again: "Are you still studying now? What if you don't know how to do it?"

Xu Zhe: "That's unlikely... By the way, you live with Xiao Ye, why don't you ask her?"

Tang Lingfei stuck out her tongue and disappeared from the window in a flash.

Without having to think too much, Xu Zhe could guess that this girl didn't ask Xiao Ye for help because she wanted to spend more time with him. Of course, he wouldn't resist.

Xu Zhe opened the door and let the girl in, and moved a chair to the study.

Then, they sat at the desk with a math test paper on it. The question she didn't know how to answer was the last one on the test paper.

Tang Lingfei scratched her head and said, "The teacher talked about the other topics in class."

Xu Zhe: "You're not going to tell me the last one?"

Tang Lingfei: "No, I did say that, but I didn't understand."

Xu Zhe said as he looked at the questions: "That's normal. This question is a little more difficult. Your teacher probably doesn't expect you to fully understand this type of question."

Tang Lingfei: "Anyway, judging from the reactions of the students around me, few of them really understood it."

Xu Zhe subconsciously wanted to say, "This is what it's like to be at the bottom of the class," but he stopped himself before he could say it. After all, this kind of thing was obviously not a good idea.

But the next moment, Tang Lingfei smiled and said, "We are from Class 17, we can't compare with you."

The girl's honesty made Xu Zhe smile as well.

He pointed at the question and said, "The knowledge points are all common. It's just that you haven't mastered the learning method or haven't followed the train of thought. Okay, listen to me. The train of thought of this question is to test..."

In the next ten minutes or so, Xu Zhe explained the math problem in detail from beginning to end. He started from the questioner's train of thought and explained each step of the problem in detail, making it very clear.

After all, he had been a tutor for this girl in the past two years, so he naturally knew how to explain the questions to her.

After thoroughly understanding the problem, Tang Lingfei smiled and said, "I knew it would be most useful to find you! What a pity, no one can hire you as a tutor now, right?"

Xu Zhe shrugged: "At least the normal tutoring fee is meaningless to me. My time is very valuable."

Tang Lingfei: "Then why are you willing to spend your valuable time on me?"

Xu Zhe: "Because it's you."

Tang Lingfei was still smiling, but after hearing his brief but very meaningful answer, her smile froze. The girl stared at his face and blinked, with a hint of disbelief in her eyes.

Xu Zhe was about to say something else, but he saw her stretch out an index finger and press it in front of her lips.

Tang Lingfei: "Don't say anything else, these four words are enough. I know that I am definitely different from other girls in your heart, but hearing you say it like this, I still feel really happy."

Just then, Xu Zhe's cell phone rang.

He picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID.

Tang Lingfei: "Your time is very valuable, so is this the company's business again?"

"No, it's the associate professor from Jiaotong University. I'm going to take a call, Feifei, please be quiet."

After saying that, he answered the call.

Associate Professor Zou's voice came from the phone, and his tone was obviously excited: "Xu Zhe, I have good news for you! Qiandu Company is interested in our group's research and said it would provide financial support for our research."

Xu Zhe: "Are you the Baidu of search engines?"

Zou Tianyan: "Of course not! People all over the country often use Baidu search engine, but few people know that they are researching artificial intelligence..."

If it were in the past, Xu Zhe would definitely subconsciously think that this was a good thing. Who wouldn’t be happy when someone gave him money?

But now, before he feels happy, he will first consider what conditions are attached to the money others send him.

So Xu Zhe asked, "What did Qiandu tell you? Are they going to set up a company, and you can invest in the technology and participate with your research results, algorithm data, etc.?"

Zou Tianyan: "Yes, you are now an entrepreneur and a boss, so you must know a lot about this kind of thing, right? Hahaha..."

Xu Zhe didn't laugh, but asked calmly: "How much do they want to give you? What's the asking price?"

----

328. Chapter 326 325 My conditions are better

328.

Xu Zhe had heard about an auction in his previous life.

It is said that after the ImageNet competition, the winner formed a company. Then, the company, which had nothing but the winning algorithm and a few AI experts, was sold at a high price of more than 40 million yuan in a secret auction.

That translates to nearly 300 million.

That secret auction later became a legend in the industry, and the four big buyers involved were DeepMind, which created AlphaGo, international search engine giant Google, operating system giant Microsoft, and Qiandu.

Of course, Qiandu is just a pure foil, getting up early and arriving late.

In this life, the winning team became the project team led by Associate Professor Zou Tianyan, and the time was also advanced by one year. Qiandu still had vision, but unfortunately, those who knew the subsequent process were always more daring to bet.

"How much are they going to give you? What's the asking price?"

In response to Xu Zhe's question, Zou Tianyan on the other end of the phone was stunned for a few seconds and said, "They offered 70 million yuan and wanted % of the equity."

Xu Zhe said in a deep voice: "Ten million, 70% right? Well, I'll pay six million, but only 30% of the shares."

Zou Tianyan: “Ah?”

Xu Zhe: "You heard me right, Mr. Zou. The conditions I can offer are better than theirs. They don't know how valuable this technology is yet, but I do."

Zou Tianyan subconsciously questioned: "How can you give so much money?"

Xu Zhe: "My games make more than this amount a month, so of course I can afford it."

Zou Tianyan was silent.

Xu Zhe waited for a while but didn't hear any response, only the other party's panting. Compared with the usual breathing, the heavier breathing at this time clearly showed that Professor Zou was not in a calm mood.

Zou Tianyan suddenly said, "Qiandu actually approached me two days ago. I told you today because I just asked the school leaders and they confirmed that we can use that algorithm to start a company, and the school will also give us some preferential policies to help us start a business. In fact, the choice to set up a new company instead of letting us directly join Qiandu is to give face to our school."

Xu Zhe understood and immediately said, "I can also sell this face. So, this means that there are no obstacles. As long as my money arrives, our company can be opened."

Zou Tianyan: "Yes, but I actually don't know what to do. Because I don't know what business I can do after the company is established."

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about this. Just let me think about it."

Zou Tianyan was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "But our project team was able to win the award because of the ideas you provided. You provided inspiration and money, but you only took 30%. I think it's a bit unreasonable. I called you today because I wanted to give you some shares."

Xu Zhe said with some emotion: "Mr. Zou, you are a good person, really. If you are willing to give me more shares, I will certainly be happy to do so. But I will not let you suffer a loss, I will add a little more to the previous offer. As for the subsequent operation, you don't have to worry about it. Apart from Qiandu, we also have plenty of business."

He knew that even if he had no business, the results of the ImageNet competition and the papers published by Associate Professor Zou would be enough to attract the pursuit of big companies such as Softmicro and GoGo. By the time an auction was held, the millions of dollars invested in the early stage would be multiplied many times!

Zou Tianyan sighed: "The conditions you offer are really good, very good. I have to discuss it with other people in the group and the school. There is no precedent for students to invest money to support school projects..."

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "As long as we can give money, we can set a precedent. I believe there will be no problem. Mr. Zou, I will wait for your good news."

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."

After saying that, Associate Professor Zou Tianyan hung up the phone.

When Xu Zhe put down his phone, he noticed the curious baby next to him was staring at him.

Tang Lingfei asked, "You want to give someone six million?"

Xu Zhe: "This is to make more money in the future."

The girl seemed to understand: "I know, it's an investment... No wonder your time is so valuable, it only took a few minutes and six million went out, it's easier than splashing water!"

Just then, the phone rang again.

Xu Zhe picked it up and took a look. This time, it was an unfamiliar number.

Tang Lingfei asked, "Is that Mr. Zou going to tell you that he agrees?"

Xu Zhe shook his head: "It's not him, it's someone else... I'll take it and see."

After answering the call, he heard an unfamiliar young male voice:

"Hello, Mr. Xu, my name is Yao Hao. My father just talked to you today."

"Oh, is that Mr. Yao's son?"

"Yes, yes, yes. My name is Yao Hao. I also studied investment and management, and I got a master's degree from Columbia University. I heard about your ideas from my father, and I am very interested."

Xu Zhe simply asked: "You want to join? Does this have anything to do with Morningstar Group?"

Yao Hao immediately explained: "It has nothing to do with the group, it's purely my personal behavior. However, because of my father's relationship, maybe I can do something, especially in terms of personal connections..."

Xu Zhe: "No problem, I'm very welcome. We can meet and talk in detail. When are you free?"

Yao Hao's tone was very modest: "I can come anytime, it depends on your schedule."

Xu Zhe was just about to arrange a meeting time, but at this moment, his phone alerted him that there was another call coming in. He looked again and saw that it was from Xiao Ye's father, Uncle Song.

Tang Lingfei snickered and complained quietly: "You are really getting busier and busier."

Xu Zhe: "How about this, we can meet tomorrow. Someone else is looking for me now, I'll send you the address later."

Yao Hao: "Okay, no problem."

So Xu Zhe hung up Yao Hao's call and dialed Song Huaifeng's number.

"Hey, Uncle Song, is there anything urgent?"

Song Huaifeng reported: "Soni Music has put forward its latest conditions, which I think are quite good. In addition, the agent they arranged just got off the plane and plans to have a meeting with us."

Xu Zhe: "Another interview..."

Song Huaifeng was a little puzzled: "Isn't the interview good?"

Xu Zhe: "There's nothing wrong with that. Well, since he's already here, let's meet tomorrow."

"Okay, Mr. Xu, I'll continue to contact them."

After Song Huaifeng agreed, he hung up the phone in a hurry.

Xu Zhe looked at the girl next to him and said, "Tomorrow, we will meet with the people from Soni Music. You can come with us."

Tang Lingfei was stunned: "But tomorrow is Monday, I have to go to school."

Xu Zhe: "It's okay, just take a leave."

Tang Lingfei: "Is it so easy to ask for leave?"

Xu Zhe: "Why, you are not happy?"

Tang Lingfei's eyes widened: "Why would I be unhappy if I didn't attend class? As long as you help me ask for leave, I will definitely go with you... No, if I can't get leave, I will skip class and go with you!"

Xu Zhe smiled and patted the girl's head: "That's not necessary. I think it's okay to ask for leave for such a big thing."

329. Chapter 327 326 Now I really have to call Mr. Xu

329.

On this Monday in March, Xu Zhe accomplished three things in one day.

At noon, he met Yao Hao, a well-mannered young man in his twenties, dressed in a suit and tie like his father, with the demeanor of a workplace elite.

The two chatted very smoothly. Yao Hao wanted to come, and Xu Zhe wanted to recruit him, so the two agreed to set up an investment company. Xu Zhe invested, and Yao Hao used his connections to help recruit people and get a small portion of the shares.

As for the first investment target of this investment company, it is Associate Professor Zou Tianyan’s AI project.

Of course, Shen Lan still acted with him.

In the afternoon, Shen Lan drove back to the school gate. After waiting for a while, Xu Zhe took Tang Lingfei into the car.

Xu Zhe still sat in the passenger seat, so this time, Tang Lingfei was the only one sitting alone in the back seat.
