Chapter 141 30 billion licensing fee, if you want it, exchange it for equity!

"Mr. Lei, try my tea."

In the courtyard of the courtyard, Chen Heyu personally made a pot of tea and placed it on the stone table, with lush branches and leaves above his head.

The breeze blows on your face and you can feel the comfortable coolness.

"The place is nice and the tea is good."

Lei Jun picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The aroma was fragrant and the taste was refreshing, which made him put aside his worries for the time being.

"Super-grade melon slices. The new tea that just came from my hometown this year is not expensive, but it is better than fresh. I took two cans with me when I left."

Chen Heyu slowly explained with a calm expression.

Ding Mo stood in the corner with his hands behind his back.

Cheng Xi, the female secretary, looked at him curiously. He was not acting like a driver. Could he be a bodyguard?

"Then I'm not welcome."

Lei Jun nodded and agreed.

"Mr. Lei, can you tell me now why you asked me to have tea?"

Chen Heyu asked with a smile.

He could guess right about the other party's ambivalent thoughts. He not only wanted to deepen cooperation with Future Technology, but also coveted Future Technology's advanced research and development capabilities.

"Mr. Chen, the licensing contract for the Moss Intelligent Voice System is for one year. Next year, will Rice have a chance to obtain the exclusive license?"

After Rebus pondered for a moment, he asked with expectation.

"Mr. Lei, could you please help me calculate the licensing fee income of Future Technology this year?"

Chen Heyu asked rhetorically.

Things are different now. To him, the mobile phone industry is like a piece of rich and sweet cake. When he holds it in his hands, he realizes how tempting it is.

"More than 20 billion."

Lei Jun quickly named a number. He was very clear about Moss AI's sphere of influence and also knew the data of his friends.

"What if I give the license to Sanxing?"

Chen Heyu continued to ask.

He has taken up nearly 50% of China's mobile phone market share. If Sanxing enters the market, more than 60% of smartphones will be equipped with the Moss system.

"About 30 billion."

Lei Jun envied that in 2013, DaMi Group sold 20 million mobile phones, and its net profit only exceeded 3 billion, which was only one-tenth of the other party's.

“What is rice’s current valuation?”

Chen Heyu asked again.

"$30 billion."

Rebus was a little unsure. Was the rice worth the money? It was worth nothing. This was a price quoted to deceive investors.

The meaning behind Chen Heyu's words was that he understood very well that the annual licensing fee for Future Technology was too high, and he couldn't afford it, nor was he qualified to pay it.

"Yeah?"

Chen Heyu laughed when he heard this. Lianxiang's sales last year were 40 billion US dollars, which was 6 times that of rice. The other party's market value was only 15 billion US dollars.

No matter how you convert it, rice's valuation cannot exceed US$10 billion.

Lei Jun was silent. His rhetoric could fool the media and fans, but in front of Chen Heyu, it was unconvincing.

Future Technology's two-year licensing fee can earn a rice company back!

"In the field of artificial intelligence, future technology cannot always maintain its leading position, and profitable businesses will never lack challengers."

Lei Jun thought for a moment and said harshly.

"You mean the Artificial Intelligence Research Laboratory of Rice?"

Chen Heyu sneered and said disdainfully.

Lei Jun was not angry when someone pointed him out to his face. He still looked calm and calm. After thinking for a few seconds, he replied: "In the future, technology can be developed from scratch, and the same can be done with rice."

"I have interviewed the person in charge of your research laboratory before. The reason why I didn't hire him is because apart from bragging, he is a mess in other aspects. How do you expect such a person to develop intelligent speech?"

Chen Heyu released big news.

"Mr. Chen, this kind of thing is not something to joke about."

Lei Jun stood up suddenly and looked at him angrily.

Chen Heyu smiled, picked up the teapot, refilled the other party's hot tea, and turned a deaf ear to his questions.

"The domestic version of Moss Intelligent Voice System has been developed to 2.0. Mr. Lei, who do you think is the first batch of authorizations to be more suitable for?"

Chen Heyu continued.

When Rebus heard this, his mind suddenly cleared. Whether Chen Heyu's words were true or false, it would not be too late to go back and investigate slowly.

Moss Intelligent Voice 2.0, as it sounds, will surely make a qualitative leap in its functions and speech recognition capabilities based on 1.0.

"Mr. Chen, please tell me clearly. What price does Rice have to pay to obtain exclusive authorization?"

After Rebus sat down again, he asked in a deep voice.

"Has Mr. Lei heard of the cooperation model between Future Technology and Lelixi?"

Chen Heyu said with a smile.

"..."

At this moment, Lei Jun just wants to punch him. Damn it, you want to have sex for nothing, right?

Rice has a dual-class share structure. Lei Jun has the advantage of excess voting rights and is not worried about losing control.

"If Mr. Lei is not interested, I have other options, Huayao, Zhongxin, Coolpad, or Sanxing."

Chen Heyu said leisurely.

"Is there a finished product for Moss 2.0?"

Lei Jun hesitated for a moment and then asked.

"Go to the company."

Chen Heyu replied that Moss 2.0 has only completed initial testing and has not yet entered the final acceptance stage, but this does not affect it as a bargaining chip in negotiations.

"If it's convenient, I'd like to take a look."

Lei Jun said sincerely that he wanted to know where the upper limit of Moss 2.0 was and whether Rice still had a chance to catch up.

"Old Mo, prepare the car."

"Yes, boss."

There is a tacit understanding between the patrons and they are straightforward.

Rebus' car followed the Maybach, and Cheng Xi couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Lei, are we going to follow the same path as Lelis?"

The fact that Jia Ting gave away his equity for free became a joke in the industry. At such a young age, he was manipulated by a young man named Chen Heyu, and his face was completely lost.

"Lelix Super TV sold 200,000 units in Q1, which is three times the previous number, and its market share ranks first.

Lao Jia lost face and made a lot of money."

Lei Jun sighed.

The courtyard was not far from the company. After a while, two luxury cars, under the command of security guards, parked in the back entrance parking lot.

"Mr. Lei, please come this way."

Chen Heyu walked in front, leading Lao Lei towards the Moss Research Institute.

"Hello, Mr. Chen!"

"Hello boss!"

The employees on the roadside greeted each other warmly, with respect in their eyes. Chen Heyu is not only the sponsor of salary, but also a skilled artificial intelligence master.

Every obstacle in project research and development was overcome by the boss leading them.

"Where's Lao Wei? Call over."

Chen Heyu nodded and asked an engineer.

"The director is with the testing team and is still doing the final acceptance process."

The other party pointed in a direction.

Several people walked over and saw that Wei Gang took the boss of the test team and tried the functions of Moss 2.0 one by one according to the acceptance plan.

"Mr. Wei, are you busy?"

Chen Heyu opened his mouth and said.

"Ah, boss, you're here, sit down quickly."

Wei Gang raised his head, saw Chen Heyu, and immediately vacated his seat.

"Find a conference room, bring the computer, and demonstrate Moss 2.0 to Mr. Lei."

Chen Heyu waved his hand and refused.

Wei Gang looked at Lei Jun, slightly surprised, but didn't have any big reaction. There were too many mobile phone bosses negotiating with Future Technology these days, and Lei Bus was not the one who stood out.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, Mr. Lei, please come this way."

Wei Gang took a few people to a conference room on the first floor. It was fully enclosed and had a large speaker next to the projection.

After he sat down, he connected the program and said directly to the air: "Moss, introduce yourself."

"I am very honored to introduce myself to you. I am Moss, an intelligent voice system and a second-generation product of future technology.

I use the latest natural language processing and voiceprint recognition technology and can understand and answer a large number of questions, including but not limited to history, technology, politics, culture and other fields. I can also help you complete translation, search, calculation and other tasks.

If you need anything, you can call me.”

Moss's answer came over the stereo.

"Mr. Wei, what is the biggest difference of Moss 2.0?"

Lei Jun asked impatiently.

Wei Gang did not answer immediately, but looked at Chen Heyu, saw him slightly nodding, and then explained to Lei Jun.

“The growth of Moss 2.0 is mainly reflected in four aspects.

First, the intelligence level. The intelligence of Moss 2.0 is equivalent to three times that of 1.0, and it can respond more accurately in terms of emotional expression and understanding;

Second, the model scale, the number of training times of 2.0 is as high as billions, and 2.0 can output more intelligent and accurate voice answers;

Third, stronger transfer learning capabilities can adapt to applications in different fields and show better performance and effects;

Fourth, speech synthesis technology, after feeding a large amount of speech data, Moss 2.0 can simulate the fundamental frequency and formant of a person's speech, and perfectly reproduce the corresponding timbre, tone and pitch."

Wei Gang slowly introduced, and added: "As far as I know, the marketing department has signed the rights to use the voices of more than 30 first-line stars."

"Mr. Lei, just imagine that there is a virtual assistant on your phone with the same voice as your idol, serving you every day. No one will refuse this kind of enjoyment.

Like Yu Jie, there are Jia Jingwen, Zhang Tianai, Zeng Li;

I like cute girls, including Lin Yichen, Tan Songyun, and Zhao Liying;

People who like to be funny include Xiao Yueyue, Guo Yungang, and Yu Qian;

My favorite singers are Zhou Jielun, Lin Jie, Xu Shangao..."

Chen Heyu added that speech synthesis technology will be widely used in the future. The most common one is map voice navigation, which can switch the voice of your favorite celebrity.

These are the basics, and there are more powerful functions hidden among them!

"Moss, help me sing "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" in Zhou Jielun's voice."

Chen Heyu issued the order.

"Cut a period of time and slowly flow into the moonlight, rippling slightly.

Play a piece of Xiaohe, and the beautiful sound of the piano falls next to me..."

While Moss was running at high speed, a gentle melody sounded, and a voice that was more than 95% similar to Jay Chou emerged.

Low, magnetic, dull and penetrating, this is simply Jay Chou's own voice!

“Can Moss 2.0 do this?”

Lei Jun was frightened and a little unbelievable.

"Moss can do better in the future, Mr. Lei, we should not be enemies, just like I said this morning."

Chen Heyu smiled slightly.

Lei Jun smiled bitterly, being an opponent or not being an opponent, the price that Rice has to pay is too heavy.

"Mr. Chen, I need time to think about it."

Rebus stood up and said solemnly.

Chen Heyu showed him Moss 2.0's thoughts, and it was obvious that he was just interested in the equity of the Rice Group.

"Mr. Lei, the international version of Moss Intelligent Voice has not been authorized to any mobile phone manufacturer. I hope Rice will be the first and only one."

Chen Heyu held his hand and increased the chips.

A series of temptations made Rebus feel very complicated. Riding on the big ship of future technology, Rice will surely brave the wind and waves and soar into the clouds.

"What's your bottom line?"

After all, Lei Jun couldn't hold back and asked as he was going out. He had been holding back this question all the way.

"51%."

Chen Heyu said calmly.

It is certainly possible to establish a new mobile phone brand, but there is still a lack of experienced managers to help it deal with the complex interest relationships in the communications industry. Mergers and acquisitions are the best choice.

Lei Jun is his chosen worker.

"Don't worry, the decision-making power is still yours. I have no interest in the company's operation and management. Zhang Nan and Zhou Zi will be responsible for future technology."

Seeing his angry expression, Chen Heyu shrugged and comforted him casually.

"Mr. Chen, your appetite is too big. I'm afraid I won't be able to satisfy you."

Rebus shook his head and said with a bitter smile.

"I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. I disagree with this sentence. No matter how clear the stream is, it is not as majestic as the sea."

Chen Heyu replied.

"Give me some time."

Lei Jun said.

"Mr. Lei, I hope this is not your delaying strategy. I said that Dami cannot make an artificial intelligence voice system at the same level as Moss.

In the golden age of 4G, for me, every day is precious. If Mr. Lei does not give a clear answer in half a month, I will officially enter the mobile phone field with future technology."

Chen Heyu said seriously, this is his final notice.

Lei Jun didn't say anything. He was threatened in person by a young man who was more than 20 years younger than him. He was somewhat embarrassed about his face.

"Old Mo, help Mr. Lei bring the tea."

After walking out of the door, Chen Heyu walked Lei Jun to the car and asked Lao Mo to bring out a bag of gifts.

"Mr. Lei, don't keep me waiting too long."

Chen Heyu delivered the tea to Lei Jun.

"Mr. Chen, remember to come for coffee next time."

In just a few minutes, Lei Jun readjusted his mentality and replied calmly.

After the other party left, Zhang Nan, who rushed back to the company, came over and asked, "Can Rebus agree?"

"It's not important, is it?"

Chen Heyu smiled and asked about the closing process of the press conference. He felt relieved when he learned that Zhou Zi was still entertaining channel dealers.

In order to succeed in overseas markets, it is ultimately inseparable from the help of channels and dealers. Only a strong and multi-faceted marketing network can allow Moss to go further.

…

"Cheng Xi, help me investigate the person in charge of the laboratory. I want to know his true level."

After the car drove away, Rebus gave instructions to his assistant with a cold face.

"Yes, Mr. Lei."

Cheng Xi agreed that if you want to understand a person, a comprehensive background review or seeking industry consultation are one of the solutions.

In order to develop an intelligent voice system, Daimi took this step too fast and too hastily, and people took advantage of loopholes.

Lei Jun already had a clear answer in his mind as to what the outcome would be.

Will Chen Heyu's identity deceive him?

Meaningless!

Dami mobilized a strong network of contacts and quickly completed the back-up job. There were no problems with this person's academic and professional background, but his project experience was all fake and he had no R&D experience at all.

At Rice Research Laboratory, the current research and development is still limited to algorithms and search calls, and basic voiceprint recognition is a mess.

"Call the police, this bastard, he's wasting more than half a year of my time."

Lei Jun was very angry and cursed at Lu Bing. He had recruited this person, so he would naturally bear the main responsibility.

"Mr. Lei, do you want to continue the laboratory?"

Lu Bing asked cautiously. He saw that Lei Jun looked exhausted and didn't know what happened.

"Pause it, Future Technology's Moss Intelligent Voice System already has version 2.0, what are we chasing after!"

Rebus was unable to answer.

"What!"

Lu Bing said in shock.
