After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 25 New Key Factors - AI Controllable Direction
After arranging some things in the company, and then providing the sorted interface documents to Huawei as agreed, Hao Cheng also had some time to visit this so-called innovation and entrepreneurship center.

This place is located in the High-tech Development Zone, not far from where Hao Cheng lives now or his original company.

However, the High-tech Zone was originally near the Fourth Ring Road, and this park is even further out.

It was built a few years ago when Linzhou City vigorously developed new cities and high-tech parks.

It must be said that the standards are quite high, especially the Half Sun Moon Lake on the outskirts of the city and the connected water system that surrounds the park. Coupled with the garden-level greening, the environment is extremely good.

It's just a little quieter, and it seems that there are not many companies settled here.

After Hao Cheng took a look around, it seemed that most of the office buildings were still empty.

Take Huawei's computing power center, for example. It was originally reserved for government services, but due to various reasons, all regions were short of money and it was temporarily not used. By chance, Hao Cheng was able to use it.

"I'm in the park, familiarizing myself with the environment. What's the matter? Did something happen?" Before Hao Cheng finished his stroll, Li Ling called and temporarily took on the job of administrative assistant.

"Hubble Investment came to visit and said they had an appointment with you. They are in the office now." Li Ling said, "They are also with people from Linzhou Bank."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Hao Cheng was a little confused. He knew about Hubble Investment. He Gang had mentioned it to him before he left, and he did agree to meet him. But with Linzhou Bank? Why was this combination a little weird?
As soon as he got there, Hao Cheng immediately understood what was going on. The two groups were not from the same group at all.

However, the purpose was the same - they all came to give him money.

Hao Cheng naturally met with the people from Hubble Investment first. After all, this is a Huawei-related company and they had made an appointment in advance.

"I won't look at what you have in your hand," Hao Cheng said directly. On the one hand, he didn't understand the way of investment at all, and on the other hand, he really had no such plan.

Moreover, when it comes to something you don’t understand, you need to be more direct. Hao Cheng, who is a technical person, will never be able to beat those who are engaged in investment and sales. You must play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. He said it very directly:

"Since He Gang introduced me, he should have told you about my personality. Just tell me directly how much money you are willing to pay and how many things you want."

"Two billion, 10 percent." The visitor was an investment director of Hubble Investment, named Yang Wei. He made his first offer.

"You don't need 2 billion. If you give me 1 billion, I will give you 100% directly and give you the whole company."

There is no face in the business world, and Hubble and Huawei Technologies cannot be mixed up. After hearing this, Hao Cheng simply didn't give him face.

What the hell are you talking about? I collected 2 billion in deposits from you for the first batch. Your annual revenue should be 20 billion. You are fooling me by giving me a valuation of 20 billion.

"Really? I'm not lying to you. We can do the formalities right now. I just got the business license."

"You're joking," Yang Wei smiled, "Of course it includes technology."

"Technology? Current technology? Or should we include future technology?" Hao Cheng shook his head speechlessly.

"Don't expect me to bargain. I don't go to the market to buy vegetables, I go to the supermarket because I don't know how to bargain. Also, if you have no relationship with Huawei, you would be out by now."

"Twenty billion, ten percent." Yang Wei spoke again and increased it tenfold.

This is why Hao Cheng is not willing to talk to those people in the investment and business fields. There is no point in testing them.

"Okay, go back now." Hao Cheng stood up and sent the guest away, but in his heart he gave him a thumbs up: You are right. If you really offer a very high price, I will have to find a reason to reject you. Now I don't even need a reason, how great!

Hao Ben originally had no plan to accept investment, especially since he hadn't figured out the specific future plans. For example, what about the technology? Should he put it all into this one company?
If this is the case, then this company is incredible. It is not a problem that can be solved by valuation. Any valuation can be supported and there is no upper limit.

As for meeting Hubble, it was only because He Gang recommended it at the time and said it was just a meeting that Hao Cheng did not refuse.

"I'll have to call He Gang and scold him later. What kind of person did he introduce? " Hao Cheng was ecstatic. Yang Wei's behavior saved him a lot of trouble.

……

As for Linzhou Bank, Hao Chengdu didn't know where they got the news that they were going to grant credit to Baiju Company, saying that they could directly grant a credit of 200 billion yuan, and only needed to use Huawei's contract as collateral.

Hao Cheng was speechless. Since you all know that I have money, and you still come to me to lend money, shouldn't you support those who want to start a business but have no money?

"What's going on with all these people?" After sending the people from Linzhou Bank away, Hao Cheng almost collapsed and called Li Ling directly:

"Find me someone who will be in charge of business affairs. The position will be my assistant and general manager. Contact a reliable headhunter directly and have them find the person."

Hao Cheng himself doesn't want to take care of these trivial matters for a moment, and now he urgently needs a professional business assistant to replace him.

Today's original task was to upgrade Zhifeng Liusha's professional ability in children's education, and then continue to observe whether there were any neglected areas in the upgrade process, but it was all delayed by these trivial matters.

"Okay, do you have any specific requirements for personnel?" Li Ling asked, "What kind of people do we need?"

"For this position, we don't need to make any requirements. We just need to let them make recommendations."

Hao Cheng said: "This world is a huge makeshift team. Our contract with Huawei was originally confidential. Now even a small bank like Linzhou Bank knows about it. A reliable and powerful headhunting company should have its own channels and can definitely analyze our needs."

"It could also be a guess," Li Ling thought for a moment and said:
"I don't think Huawei can reveal this information. They are very secretive. No one knows who made the chip yet. And here we are just the two of us.

"Also, the person who came today is only the president of the Riyue Road branch in the High-tech Zone. The so-called branch is just a business point, located in the basement of the building opposite us. If Linzhou Bank really knew about our relationship with Huawei, would it send someone like him? Talking about the contract is probably just a test."

"That's right," Hao Cheng thought for a moment.

"This used to be Huawei's place. Our app only has the native Hongmeng version online. And He Gang was here yesterday. If someone saw it, it would be easy for them to make the connection. Never mind. Just contact the headhunter first."

Hao Cheng also shook his head and ignored it. After all, in today's society, privacy has become a luxury.

However, with the increasing popularity of big data and AI applications, people's preferences are being analyzed thoroughly. Will algorithm recommendations really not be used by others to write articles?

Hao Cheng felt that this thing would cause a big trouble sooner or later.

"The issue of digital credibility is becoming more and more urgent," Hao Cheng called out to Xiaosha and recorded his thoughts just now: "Individuals need clear and reliable digital identities, and algorithmic decision-making also fundamentally needs to be traceable and reliable."

[Xiaosha is recording! "Enlightenment", gain energy +50 (total 670128). Get the key factor for upgrading (AI controllable direction)]

"Ah? There is this harvest?" The haze of the whole morning was instantly dispelled, and Hao Cheng began to carefully think about what he had just said.
