Chapter 17: Negotiations
Hailing Airport has not had such a big battle for a long time.
Because Hailing is a third-tier city after all, there are not many people coming and going, and they usually take cars. Because Hailing doesn’t even have a high-speed rail, this has always been a pain in the hearts of Hailing people.
This airport that was finally built is shared with Yang City. It is just a 4E-level civil airport with only one terminal building, covering an area of more than 30,000 square meters, one runway, and 13 aprons. It is really shabby.
Moreover, there are only 45 domestic and international routes and 36 domestic city routes, so many people have to transfer before they can come here.
It was rare that Yanghai Airport was bustling with people today. Well-known entrepreneurs and foreigners appeared one after another. The airport leaders thought something big had happened and personally led the team to entertain the guests.
Ten Hongqi L5 welcome cars have been parked at the entrance of the airport. This one cost 5 million. In order to buy these cars, Hailing and its surrounding areas were almost sold out.
Every time a guest came, a car was specially taken to check in at the Haiyan Hotel. So many luxury cars attracted passers-by's attention and took pictures. The photos also went viral on WeChat Moments and the Internet, sparking heated discussions.
The department manager of Haiyan Hotel is also ready to receive guests at the door, striving to leave a good impression on the guests.
At this time, Chu Feng was receiving Zhou Hongwei, chairman of 361 Company, who arrived first.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou." Chu Feng took Zhou Hongwei's outstretched right hand, welcomed him with a smile, and then invited Zhou Hongwei and others to take a seat.
He has neat short hair, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, sharp eyes, and generous lips, giving him the impression of an honest person.
But if you really think he is an honest person, you will definitely be swallowed to pieces. This is Zhou Hongwei, chairman of 361 Group.
Zhou Hongwei was accompanied by a few people, including an ordinary female white-collar worker, probably a secretary or something. Zhou Hongwei also introduced the others, who were also the company's vice president and technical manager.
"Secretary, get the good tea I brought last time."
Chu Feng asked his secretary to make tea.
"You're welcome, Mr. Chu is really young and promising."
After Zhou Hongwei sat down, he first sighed and praised.
However, Chu Feng did not take it seriously, "I don't dare to take it seriously. Mr. Zhou is an old man and a role model for us to learn from."
Zhou Hongwei smiled and shook his head. This little guy was just trying to sugar-coat his cannonball, and he also put away his contempt.
"Mr. Chu, I see that you are also very busy today, so I'll keep the story short."
I didn't expect Zhou Hongwei to be so direct and not submissive. Chu Feng was a little surprised, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Please say"
"The purpose of coming today is, first of all, I naturally want to see for myself what kind of person Mr. Chu is who can build such a foundation in just one month."
Chu Feng did not interrupt Zhou Hongwei's words, but just listened with a smile.
"Secondly, I also want to see if our 361 company has the opportunity to cooperate with your company."
"Then I wonder how Mr. Zhou wants to cooperate?" Chu Feng remained calm.
Zhou Hongwei took the folder handed over by his secretary and handed it to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng finished the file, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
"This old fox is very good at planning, technology sharing, and customer interoperability. Does Lightyear need 361's technology? Return customers? Based on the development of Lightyear Company, are you afraid that there will be no customers?"
Chu Feng closed the folder without moving his expression.
"Mr. Zhou, your company's intention to cooperate is somewhat insincere."
Before Zhou Hongwei could speak, a senior executive next to him spoke: "Mr. Chu, the number of monthly active users of our 361 company on both computer and mobile terminals has reached 562 million, with the computer terminal accounting for 72% of the market share, and the market penetration rate of the mobile terminal is 62%.
With such a huge customer base, isn’t it sincerity to cooperate with your company and share the customer base?”
"Haha, I still have a certain understanding of the scale of your company, and I believe what this gentleman says, but have you ever heard about Lightyear Company?"
Without waiting for the other party to continue speaking, Chu Feng picked up a document on the table and spoke.
"Lightyear Accelerator currently has 730 million computer installations, and Personal Butler System currently has 820 million installations. This data is still growing. This is the data from yesterday morning, and Xiaoke just released a number of
It’s only been a week.”
Hearing Chu Feng's words, Zhou Hongwei and others were also a little surprised. They didn't expect that the development of Lightyear Company was so terrifying. Then what they just said was just a joke. A millionaire would care about a thousand yuan investment from a household with ten thousand yuan.
What?
Zhou Hongwei stopped the department manager whose face was red.
"Mr. Chu, have you ever thought about the fact that your company's primary artificial intelligence has a first-class design. Although the technology is powerful, has Mr. Chu ever thought about how if a hacker cracked the program and finally stole the customer's information, where could he even get it?
If you break the law and commit a crime, what will happen?"
Chu Feng was dismissive in his heart.
"You can crack it and why are you here?"
"Then your company should have tested our company's software, right? The results should be very clear."
Chu Feng smiled and waited for Zhou Hongwei to finish before speaking.
"Regarding the security of Xiaoke, we have made a commitment in the customer's installation and use instructions. As long as there is a loss caused by cracking Xiaoke, we will learn from Teacher Ma's promise and pay ten thousand times the compensation."
Zhou Hongwei was also shocked by Chu Feng's confidence. How much confidence does it take to say such a thing? Even the famous payment companies in China dare not say 10,000 times the compensation.
At this time, the manager of the technical department also spoke.
"It seems that Mr. Chu is very confident in his software, but we cannot give up on customer privacy protection. We have also analyzed Xiaoke to a certain extent within a legal and reasonable framework, but we cannot confirm whether the software has a background program.
The collection of customers’ privacy ultimately leads to customers’ distrust of our company’s irresponsible attitude.”
Chu Feng almost rolled his eyes when he heard this. The most humble person is invincible, and it is extremely shameless to be so shameless.
I really want to throw my phone at his face and ask him to see how many background programs are in his app store. Last time, he was criticized by the Ministry of Telecommunications for a bunch of junk software. Now that he can’t be cracked, how can he still have the nerve to say that it’s for the sake of customer privacy and security?
Seeing that Chu Feng was silent, he thought that he had persuaded Chu Feng and wanted to continue talking, but was stopped by Zhou Hongwei.
Zhou Hongwei also sighed secretly in his heart: "Made is mentally retarded! Do people have to download it through your 361 software manager? There are really too many downloading channels... They are just like useless teammates."
"I believe what Mr. Chu says. There is another document here that Mr. Chu can take a look at."
Zhou Hongwei asked his secretary to take out another document and handed it to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng came over casually, opened it, and was a little surprised.
Hongwei is really going to take action this week.
10% of 361 Group shares, customer sharing, resource sharing, company endorsement, and technical support from Lightyear Company.
This is a big investment.
Not to mention anything else, with 10% of the shares, the current market value of 361 Company is more than 300 billion. It is a big deal to give away more than 30 billion at this time.
Other sharing and endorsements are what Chu Feng needs most today.
After all, although Chu Feng has the strength and ability, he still has too little development time, and there is no big company to endorse it. For a new technology, everyone is still not so confident.
After all, due to the influence of current movies, TV novels and the like, everyone still has a certain resistance to artificial intelligence. Have you not seen that artificial intelligence in movies is a villain? They only want to rule mankind.
Moreover, Chu Feng didn’t dare to release many of his ideas without a foundation. Can’t Xiaoke have the function of Taobao? Can’t he have the function of WeChat?
The only reason why we can survive in the cracks now is because no one dares to push Chu Feng too hard. If our opponent obtains Chu Feng's technical support, we will be completely defeated.
