Chapter 726(1/2)
The storm rises again
Mondelli Consulting Company is indeed very powerful and gave a positive answer to the questions asked by Boss Ren.
The world's major giant companies and various institutions are currently developing different artificial intelligence technologies, with the same development trends and different technologies.
Correspondingly, the underlying core code is also different.
Artificial intelligence technicians from other companies are poached to other companies to engage in artificial intelligence development, which requires at least two years of adaptation time. These people need to start from scratch.
Seamless connection is not possible!
Immediately afterwards, the report listed Guge’s artificial intelligence technology and Xingling Group’s artificial intelligence technology.
The goals of both companies are the same, which is to build a nervous system to give programs thinking attributes.
However, ancient songs have gone further in this process.
From another perspective, Xingling Group has gone relatively far in the application of artificial intelligence technology.
The two companies have different focuses. It is difficult for artificial intelligence technicians from each company to adapt when they arrive at the other company.
The core code is different, the technical perspective is different, the progress is different, etc. It is very cumbersome and difficult to integrate itself in less than two years.
This is also the reason why major giant companies only recruit those who have just graduated from college when they develop artificial intelligence projects.
Only you can adapt to me, but I cannot adapt to you!
This is currently the biggest problem in global artificial intelligence technology. If this problem can be solved and interoperability can be achieved, human artificial intelligence technology will usher in a new era.
The general idea is the above. After reading this, Boss Ren leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes. He felt very painful. If he had known this earlier, he would not have poached people.
A lot of money was lost in vain, but the people who dug it couldn't get started immediately.
Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye it was time for the video conference. Boss Ren turned on his computer to participate in the meeting, and then sent the report to everyone.
After everyone read the report, they were silent.
What Gao Jin said is absolutely right, even if you recruit people, they won't be able to form combat effectiveness immediately, and they might even cause chaos.
"Let's completely terminate the poaching operation." Boss Ren said this with a helpless expression. This time, no one would push him.
"I have a suggestion: form a team of people recruited this time and let them have a collision of ideas to develop new artificial intelligence projects."
"They all have actual experience in artificial intelligence technology research and development. Let them communicate among themselves. Maybe we will have unexpected gains."
"If there are no results within three years, we will not renew the contract then."
"If there are results, we will increase investment in them."
"This is a protracted war, and we must be patient. Although our lives will be difficult in the past few years, we must persevere!"
"in addition"
"The salary system of the Joint R&D Center is being reset to prepare for the graduation season next year. This time, we must introduce a large number of talents."
"If you throw money at it, you have to throw it at us to create a future!"
Rebus said these words with a solemn expression. Rebus had had enough of being controlled by others with his technology. He didn't want to go through this anymore, and he had to make radical changes.
"I agree!"
Jiang Jiachuan, chairman of ZTE Technology, agreed. This kind of life can no longer be tolerated.
If you don't have the skills, other than giving away profits, the other party will not look at you seriously and will not consider your feelings no matter what you do.
Only by self-improvement and mastering technology can we get rid of this kind of life.
Next, Boss Ren also expressed his agreement, and two more companies expressed their agreement one after another.
However, four companies did not express their opinions. Obviously, these people were confused.
Gu Shengliang, the president of TFF Mobile Phone Company, looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I will not be able to withdraw funds in a short time. I will officially withdraw from the mobile phone industry and transform."
Upon hearing these words, Boss Ren, Rebus, Jiang Jiachuan and others were stunned, and then their faces sank.
"Lao Gu, why are you talking about this at this time?" Jiang Jiachuan looked at Gu Jiamin and said. Gu Shengliang said this at this time, which was a huge blow to everyone's morale.
"Everyone, I really have no choice. In two months, a loan of up to 70 million will expire, and I need to pay back more than 80 million with interest."
"Coupled with the various expenses of the company and the current continuous decline in mobile phone sales that cannot form a virtuous circle, I really can't hold on anymore."
"Don't blame me"
Gu Shengliang said this with a helpless expression. He originally hoped that the joint R&D center's artificial intelligence technology could make a breakthrough and launch a new generation of mobile phones to save the company.
Who knows that at this moment, research and development is blocked, poaching people has turned into digging holes, and a lot of money is wasted. Your company really cannot survive.
You must blame Gu Shengliang, but you also know Gu Shengliang's condition. The TFF phone really can't last, not to mention two years, not even one year.
It is a helpless move to carry out transformation while there is still funds.
This time the ancient music mobile phone was launched and sold well, which became the straw that broke the camel's back.
"Do you want to withdraw your investment in the research center?" Boss Ren asked calmly.
"No"
"Although I have left, I still hope to see you succeed. I will continue to hold the shares in the joint R&D center and will not sell them!"
"I hope you can achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible!"
Gu Shengliang expressed his stance.
Facing Gu Shengliang like this, no one knew what to say for a moment.
The joint R&D center is a collective investment by everyone. After it starts operating, all investments are converted into shares. The more you invest, the more shares you have.
One share is one yuan, and the shares are calculated according to the capital invested by everyone.
There was an agreement at that time that if you quit midway, you can sell your shares in exchange for funds to protect the group and the Rice Group.
"Anyone else want to quit?"
"If we quit now, we will still be friends. We all know the difficulties we are facing now. There is no shame in not being able to hold on. No one has failed along the way."
"If we fail this time, let's start over from the beginning."
Rebus looked at everyone and said this. Boss Ren frowned, thought about it, and understood Rebus' intention.
Weiwei Group, Dami Group, and Zhongxing Group are all large enterprises and can survive the current market environment. As for other companies, their economies are small and they may not be able to survive.
After a short time, the five people expressed that they could no longer hold on and quit.
However, none of these people will sell their shares, hoping that Mr. Ren and others can break through as soon as possible.
Although they have withdrawn, these people also know that artificial intelligence technology is the future. Although the joint R&D center cannot bring profits now, with continued investment, unique technologies will definitely be born in the future.
Maybe the shares in your hands will be more valuable in the future.
At the end of one meeting, six companies withdrew.
There are only seven companies left in the alliance: Weiwei Group, Dami Group, Zhongxing Group, Queer Group, Xinwei Group, Mingzhe Group, and Jiaxi Group.
Boss Ren contacted the other six families and asked them all to meet and have a meeting to discuss the next step.
We all had no objections and agreed to meet up in the Imperial Capital three days later. It happened that the relevant departments of the Imperial Capital were organizing an economic seminar and everyone had received invitations to meet and have a chat during the meeting.
USA, Fruit Company.
Cook presided over the board of directors. At present, Guoguo's stock price has been falling continuously, with a drop of more than 22%. Some directors can't sit still.
"Gentlemen, isn't the stock market falling exactly what we said we needed?"
"Now I can tell you for sure that funds can be pooled. I will formally report to the relevant departments in half a month. The current stock price is not in line with the actual value of Guoguo Company."
“We at Guoguo Company and the company’s directors have unanimously decided to buy back shares.”
Cook looked at everyone and said this. The original plan was for the stock price to fall to a certain level, and then everyone would spend money to buy back the stocks from the market, and then sell them for arbitrage when the stock price rose.
If you cut a crop of leeks, the board of directors won't care if the company loses money for a few months or even for a year.
"Cook, the product is ready," Chief Director Burled asked with curiosity on his face. Others also looked at Cook, hoping to get an accurate answer.
Including former CEO Howard.
There were conditions for Howard to step down and let Cook take over. Cook could only stay for five years. After five years, Howard would still take over after stepping down as CEO.
This is a unanimous decision by the board of directors. If the board of directors defaults on its promise, Howard will need to be compensated with one billion dollars.
If it weren't for this agreement, Howard would definitely have to fight back and give him a hard time, and the handover of Apple's CEO would never be so easy.
"certainly"
"I have brought samples, and you can try them out, of course, only in the conference room." After Cook said, he waved his hand, and the assistant stood up and bent down to pick up a box from the ground.
After opening the box, there was a Golden Apple prototype inside. He took it out and slowly handed it to the directors. Everyone had one, and everyone could use it for testing as they pleased in the office.
The phone is all gold, not the rich gold, but a golden brown with a noble temperament, and the thickness is slightly thicker than the original model.
"Everyone, when it comes to mobile phone hardware design and the use of electronic components, we at Apple are considered second, and no manufacturer dares to be first."
“This time our Golden Apple is destined to amaze the world.”
"The mobile phone is golden brown and has a ceramic body. The screen is the same level as the Starlight mobile phone. The camera lens we use is a new generation lens in the laboratory that has not been put on the market."
