Xiao Yunhai smiled bitterly. "I really don't know much about these technical issues. Mr. Lan, are you planning to change the direction of your research to artificial intelligence? "
Lan Jiancheng nodded and said, "That's right. Mr. Xiao, we think that artificial intelligence will be the fourth technological revolution for mankind. Now, every country has started to pay attention to this. I think we should also put artificial intelligence on the agenda so that we don't fall behind the times. "
Kree said, "Mr. Lan, we're not technical people. We don't understand how convenient artificial intelligence will be for mankind's development. But we understand economics. I want to know how much this thing can bring us? "
Lan Jiancheng said seriously, "It's impossible to estimate. For example, it's like a search engine. It looks simple, but it's actually made up of many different algorithms. When we search for something, there will be countless spam messages or messages that are useless to us. It's very difficult to find what we want. "
"Let's put it this way. The current search engines are only accurate, but AI search engines are humane and intelligent. It will selectively provide you with the most suitable information according to your requirements. If the information changes in the future, it will try its best to inform you. This is a necessary requirement for future development. Therefore, I can't determine how much this industry can bring us. "
Xiao Yunhai was very interested in artificial intelligence. He asked, "What do you need?"
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Lan Jiancheng knew that there was a possibility. He quickly said, "Financial and personnel support. If we want to be at the forefront of artificial intelligence technology, we need to set up a separate research institute. It's best if we can have three thousand people and fifty billion US dollars per year. This isn't included in the current research funds. "
"That's impossible." Kree Christie exclaimed and said, "Mr. Lan, according to what you said, we have to give your lab more than a hundred billion US dollars per year. The burden is too heavy. I don't believe any company in the world would do that. "
Lan Jiancheng's face turned red. He said awkwardly, "Ms. Kree Christie, that's a bit much. But once there are results, the benefits will be unimaginable."
Kyle Morris nodded and said, "That's right. Artificial intelligence is the future of development. If our Yun Qing Network Company wants to stand firm in the future, we have to put it on the top of our list. "
Kree said, "But your demands are too high. 50 billion USD a year. Even the Bessey family and the Anderson family might not agree to it. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "They don't agree, but I agree."
Everyone was shocked and looked at Xiao Yunhai, who had a determined look on his face.
"Madam Kree Christie, it's not like we can't afford 100 billion USD."
Kree said, "But …"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "But you're afraid that the money you invest will go to waste, right?"
Kree Stephen nodded and said, "That's right."
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said magnanimously, "You can't be overcautious when doing things. For example, when we were developing 3D technology, everyone was doing it. But in the end, we still took care of it. Artificial intelligence represents the future. I don't want to miss it. Even if we have to pay a heavy price, we have to do it. "
Kree Christie sighed and said, "Mr Xiao, I'm just giving you a suggestion. You still have to make the decision. It's your money anyway."
Everyone laughed when they heard that.
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's good. From today onwards, artificial intelligence research will be on the agenda. The laboratory will be the most important place in the entire Yun Qing Network Company. Once our security company is established, I'll send people to guard it 24/7. "
Lan Jiancheng and the other two stood up when they saw how supportive Xiao Yunhai was of them. They said, "Mr Xiao, don't worry. We'll definitely succeed."
Everyone chatted for a while more before leaving. Xiao Yunhai left Wen Yanhong and Kree Christie alone.
"CEO Wen, I want to sell 10% of Yun Qing Network Company's shares to the Anderson family. Do you have any objections?" Xiao Yunhai asked.
Wen Yanhong rejected without even thinking. She said, "It's best if you don't sell it. If you really want to sell it, we'll have to discuss the price. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "How much do you think we should sell 10% of the shares to them for?"
Wen Yanhong thought for a while and said, "At least 500 billion USD."
Xiao Yunhai and Kree Christie looked at each other and laughed.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Great minds think alike, beautiful ladies."
Wen Yanhong was stunned. She smiled and said, "This is called telepathy."
Xiao Yunhai said, "I have my reasons for not selling it. However, 500 billion is too little. 800 billion is more like it. "
Kree Christie said, "Mr Xiao, don't joke around. 800 billion. I'm afraid Mr. Apollo will be shocked by you. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "The profits from firearms are huge. I think it'll be at least 300%. 800 billion USD. To Apollo, the cost is less than 300 billion USD. I'm already giving them a huge advantage by being willing to exchange my shares for their weapons. Just wait and see, he'll definitely agree. "
Only then did Wen Yanhong realize that her boss actually wanted to control an army.
At noon, Xiao Yunhai treated the people in charge and key personnel of each company to lunch. The atmosphere was very lively.
Just as he returned to the office, Apollo Anderson called again.
"Mr Xiao, I heard you're back in New York."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I'm here to take a look at my company. Mr. Apollo, we've done some research and feel that 20% of the shares is too much. We're only willing to sell 10%. "
Apollo said unhappily, "10% is too little. How about 15%?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "Mr. Apollo, this isn't a market. You can sell as much as you want. 10% is our limit, and it's not cheap. "
Apollo asked, "How much?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "800 billion USD worth of firearms."
"What?" Apollo almost jumped up when he heard that. He shouted, "800 billion USD! Mr Xiao, if it were you, would you agree?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "It can also be 500 billion USD in cash."
Apollo suddenly went silent. If it weren't for his panting, Xiao Yunhai would have suspected that he had hung up.
After a while, Apollo gritted his teeth and said, "700 billion USD worth of firearms. This is our limit. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Mr. Apollo, I can tell you clearly that Yun Qing Network's profits will be more than 1 trillion USD in the future. Do you think this price is expensive? The reason why I agreed to let you use firearms in exchange for cash is to build a good relationship with you. You don't really think that I can't buy firearms except for the Anderson family, do you? Let's not talk about other things. Huaxia is much cheaper than you. "
Apollo went silent again. Finally, he said, "I'll have to discuss this with my father. If he doesn't have any objections, I'll give you a copy of the price list of the various weapons. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Don't forget, the price is 70% of the market price."
Apollo's tone was a little unpleasant. He said, "Mr Xiao, you're too ruthless."
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "You'll realize that you've made a fortune in five years."
