Pei Qian suffered a blow on the way back.
He had been prepared for the distribution of the ICL league's broadcasting rights to make money, but he had not expected to earn so much!
The money that he had spent had come back on its own with interest. Who could take it!
Pei Qian thought about where he should spend the money.
There was still a long time before settlement. It would not be too difficult to spend it. However, he had to think about it carefully in order to prevent the same sum of money from coming back on its own.
The first thing Pei Qian thought of was to spend the money on Bunny Tail Live-Stream based on the principle of 'whoever earns money will spend it'.
However, on further thought, it did not seem feasible.
That was because live-stream platforms were actually very limited in places where they could spend money. Hiring more technical personnel and developing more functions would not cost much.
If he only spent a few million after earning tens of millions, it would be a drop in the bucket. It would not quench his thirst at all.
The place where he could really spend a lot of money was nothing more than buying copyrights and poaching big streamers.
However, spending money like this meant that the popularity and attention of Bunny Tail Live-Stream would soar again. The risk was too high!
It could be said that everything had been inexplicably smooth ever since Bunny Tail Live-Stream was released. The ICL league and GPL league were in their hands. After the other live-stream platforms gave them some big gifts, Bunny Tail Live-Stream's attention and popularity were not lacking. There was also quite a lot of content on the platform.
Spending tens of millions to buy broadcasting rights and poach big streamers under such circumstances?
It would probably cause a chain reaction.
Thus, after much consideration, Pei Qian felt that he could not spend the money on Bunny Tail Live-Stream. The risk was too high.
Bunny Tail Live-Stream was currently a critically ill patient. He had to observe it. He could not use strong medicine and had to recuperate slowly.
Then, where was the safest place to spend the money?
Pei Qian thought about it and suddenly thought of a good direction.
He would spend it on Otto Technologies!
More accurately, he would spend it on Otto Technologies' laboratory and ask them to research artificial intelligence.
Otto Technologies had AEEIS and it was profitable to research artificial intelligence technology. However, artificial intelligence technology should have already made a technological breakthrough in the previous cycle!
It had been less than two months since the last settlement. It was not appropriate for him to make another breakthrough, right?
What's more, the last technological breakthrough was decided by the System. The System could not possibly cheat him, right?
People can't fall at the same place twice, right?
That way, spending a lot of money to build an artificial intelligence laboratory might produce some small results, make AEEIS more useful, and even trigger some small-scale chain reactions …
However, as long as there were no breakthroughs or leaps in artificial intelligence technology, there wouldn't be much return on these research funds.
Or rather, even if there were any returns, it would not be during this cycle.
The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more suitable he felt. He said to Little Li, "Let's go to Otto Technologies first."
…
Half an hour later, Pei Qian arrived at Otto Technologies' conference room and told his thoughts to the new person-in-charge of Otto Technologies, Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan's expression was blank, and he was unable to react for a moment.
"Boss Pei, do you mean to invest forty million yuan to build another artificial intelligence laboratory for Otto Technologies? Poach a ready-made team with a high salary to conduct research on artificial intelligence technology? Or buy some ready-made companies? "
Pei Qian nodded. "That's right.
Jiang Yuan quickly said, "Boss Pei, think twice!"
"At the moment, the best artificial intelligence technology in the country is Xunke Technologies. AEEIS also uses Xunke Technologies' technology. They have been working hard in the relevant fields for many years. The application of artificial intelligence technology can be said to be the result of accumulation. "
"Even if we invest a huge sum of money to build an artificial intelligence laboratory and poach a ready-made technical team, we would only be researching and developing on the existing foundation. It is unlikely that there will be any technological breakthroughs. At most, we would optimize AEEIS 'current situation."
"Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to recoup such a huge investment in research and development. The same amount of money would actually be much better spent elsewhere. "
"The key is that the price-performance ratio is not high, and it's unnecessary!"
Pei Qian could not help but chuckle.
Not high price-performance ratio? Very unnecessary?
That's right, we're thinking the same thing!
Pei Qian could actually not say anything and directly arrange for Jiang Yuan to do it. However, Jiang Yuan had just taken over Chang You's position after all. He had not been the person-in-charge for long. He was afraid that he would not be able to do things quickly, so he had to remind him to strengthen his belief.
Pei Qian said meaningfully, "You're wrong!"
"We might be using the technology of Xunke Technologies well at the moment, but it would not be good to use other people's core technology."
"Look at our company's name, Otto Technologies. How could we not do independent research and development?"
"In the short term, the benefits might not be big, but in the long term, it is absolutely necessary to set up our own laboratory and do independent research and development."
"Our goal is to develop all core technologies independently and not be controlled by others!"
"What's more, artificial intelligence technology is the future. It is related to many of Tengda's industries. It would not be a lot no matter how much money we invest in this direction!"
"You have to remember this in your work in the future. Marketing is just a facade. Core technology is the real deal. Do you understand?"
This impassioned speech made Jiang Yuan's hot blood boil when he heard it.
"Understood, Boss Pei!"
"I was indeed short-sighted."
"I'll make arrangements immediately. I'll poach a research team if I can. I can invest or buy a research team if I can. In short, I have to investigate the specific situation."
Pei Qian nodded. "Yes, just do it!"
…
Pei Qian came to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, intending to have a cup of coffee and rest after settling everything on both sides.
Pei Qian felt a little tired from the Bunny Tail live-stream. Now, it had finally come to an end.
The broadcasting rights of the ICL league had been distributed. Long Yu Corporation would continue to spend a lot of money to promote the ICL league in the future, but it was not an exclusive broadcast after all. Its popularity would be divided by other live-stream platforms. Bunny Tail Live-Stream should be safe in the short term.
It was about time to see how the other industries were doing.
…
At the same time, the Vice Presidents of the various live-stream platforms had already returned to their companies to prepare for the broadcast of the ICL league.
These Vice Presidents had already informed their technical teams when they were discussing the contract. They had been making the best use of their time to prepare the live-stream and various publicity materials for the ICL league over the past two days.
Tomorrow was Thursday. There was a popular focus battle at night. All these live-stream platforms requested their teams to work overtime and arrange all the preparations for the live-stream before tomorrow night.
The competition on Friday was not very good after all. If they missed the popularity of this match, the next focus battle would have to wait until Saturday. They would miss a lot of popularity for nothing.
At the same time, Long Yu Corporation was also arranging for teams to connect with the various live-stream platforms. Both sides made the best use of their time to copy the function of Bunny Tail Live-Stream: real-time data display during the competition.
The data was originally available in the background. However, it needed to be retrieved in real time and displayed in a certain diagram. The specific packaging still needed to be developed for a period of time.
However, there was no rush. The season had just started after all. A week earlier or later would not have much of an impact.
Zhao Xuming did not expect this function to bring much popularity to the ICL league. It was just a defensive method.
If the GPL had it but the ICL did not, others would think that the ICL league was not professional enough. Thus, this function had to be done even if it would be accused of plagiarism.
The only small problem was that the live-stream time of the various live-stream platforms was actually slightly different. This greatly slowed down the development progress.
Bunny Tail's live-stream was the fastest. It was thirty seconds faster than other live-stream platforms. The other platforms might also have a few seconds of delay when broadcasting the competition due to network delays, lags, and other problems.
However, it was very difficult for this data to change with the progress of each platform. That was because the ICL league officials only gave live-stream signals to the various live-stream platforms. The data in the game were all in their own backstage. It was very difficult to match the time on both sides perfectly if they had to transmit this data to the various platforms. It was more troublesome to do it.
For example, a player had just obtained a big head and his finances had increased by 1,000 yuan. However, the real-time data had not been updated yet. It would appear very stiff.
Bunny Tail Live-Stream did not have to consider this problem at all because only Bunny Tail Live-Stream had this function. There was no need to consider other platforms at all. They could just use Bunny Tail Live-Stream as the standard.
However, it would be more troublesome for Zhao Xuming to create this function for all the platforms that were broadcasting the ICL league.
Zhao Xuming thought about it for a moment. There were actually only two solutions: either he could ignore the time difference between the various platforms and forcefully give them a compromise time, or he could spend a lot of effort to make this data follow the current live-stream of the various platforms.
After discussing with the technical team, Zhao Xuming felt that he had to do the latter.
That was because Bunny Tail Live-Stream was 30 seconds different from other platforms. If he forced a compromise, 15 seconds would be enough to finish a relatively fast team battle. The equipment and economic data might not change in time. Instead, it would appear that this function was done very amateurishly.
Thus, he could only choose the second plan and spend more effort to develop this function so that the data would be consistent with the current live-stream of the various platforms.
That way, the development time would be delayed. However, Zhao Xuming thought about it and felt that it was worth it.
Zhao Xuming heaved a sigh of relief after settling all the work.
After so many twists and turns, the ICL league was finally on the right track!
The various live-stream platforms were broadcasting it one after another. The popularity of the league was also steadily increasing. As long as they could smoothly publicize it, accumulate viewers, and accumulate popularity, it would definitely be a good promotion for IOI's local server in the future!
When IOI's mobile game was released in the future, it could sound the horn of a full-scale counterattack!
