619 Cessation of land and indemnity(1/2)
It is rumored that Tim Cook has decided to visit China again. Although it is a rumor, it is highly credible.
Because the news came from the airport, Apple urgently applied for a route to China for Cook's private jet, and under Apple's operation, it was approved immediately.
So when you watch the news, you have to read them together.
It has just been reported that the chairman of Yuxin Technology has extended an olive branch to Tim Cook. It is suspected that Apple is booking a flight for Tim Cook and wants to send him to China for an interview with Yuxin Technology. Good boy
, what does this mean?
Ordinary people may not think much of it, but for those journalists, they are sensitive to the fact that there seems to be something wrong.
As a result, more news was linked together. A month ago, Facebook sued Yuxin Technology and won the lawsuit. Recently, Yuxin Technology withdrew its three offices in Europe and the United States...
Some people soon speculated: Could it be that a large number of quantum computers controlled by the West had a big problem?
This is the biggest secret of the alliance now, and it is still an untouchable secret.
For the big guys within the alliance, they must keep this secret. Basically, this matter is only known to a few people, scientists, engineers, and the top group of people closely related to the company, so this matter has been kept confidential.
very good.
Who dared to think that the media's reaction was so fast, that people had guessed it, and it was only three days before the incident happened.
At this time, Google, which had been silent, suddenly spoke up and invited several well-known European and American media to visit one of Google's confidential data centers, where three quantum computers are located - the Council Bluffs Data Center No. 1 in Iowa, with a high-profile introduction.
Google’s future layout plan for using quantum computing power in the next stage has finally dispelled many people’s doubts.
Of course this is only temporary.
The anxious bosses have set their sights on China, which is the main battlefield, and time really cannot afford to delay.
Yes, the big guys are pinning their hopes on Love Dracula and Tim Cook.
Then they got the news that Love Dracula rushed to Silicon Valley that day.
When Tim Cook rushed to China, he happened to rush back to the United States.
A reincarnation.
The battlefield also changed from one to two again.
…
Time goes back to three days ago.
After the emergency meeting of the alliance convened by Tim Cook, Love Dracula had just returned to the hotel. Before he could collect his emotions, he received a phone call. More than one, several phone calls hinted that Yuxin Technology was
It's a good company, you can actually give it a try.
Through these phone calls, Love Dracula also got some news.
For example, Tim Cook resigned as rotating chairman, and Google withdrew from the alliance.
This made Love Dracula sigh a lot.
The alliance he single-handedly brokered is probably about to fall apart.
Of course, there's not that much sadness at all.
Looking back now, it seems that from the very beginning of the alliance's birth, it seemed that the alliance would not last long.
In the past, this kind of technical alliance was formed to raise industry barriers, making it difficult for latecomers to pass through various traps jointly arranged by everyone, allowing a certain industry to maintain a relative monopoly for a certain period of time, and seeking benefits within the alliance.
But this time is different. The biggest problem with the alliance is that it has never mastered the most advanced technology, and Yuxin Technology has firmly refused to join the alliance.
Therefore, the mission of the alliance is different this time. It hopes to pool everyone's abilities to develop technology that can compete with the other party.
Obviously, the lack of results in two years has caused too many people to lose confidence.
However, everyone's interests were put in danger at a critical moment. Coupled with Yuxin Technology's obvious operation to sow discord, the alliance finally fell apart.
If there were other interests, perhaps Google could compromise, but the interests involved in whether the quantum computer can operate normally are too huge. Love Dracula felt that if he were in Sundar Pichai's position, he would also
Make the same choice.
After all, you can die as a Taoist friend, but you can't die as a poor Taoist.
Of course, these are all trivial matters to him, and he is thinking about whether he should join Yuxin Technology.
It must be said that when Wang Yufei invited him to join Yuxin Technology in the Yuxin Technology headquarters building, he was really moved. If he hadn't been worried about offending too many people, he might have nodded and agreed at that time.
But now that everyone supports him to join Yuxin Technology and restart negotiations immediately, he hesitates again.
It’s not that Love Dracula has a stubborn temperament that likes to go against the mainstream opinion. The key is that after calming down, he suddenly thought whether he would be killed if he joined this Chinese company so rashly, such as killing the donkey.
After he has finished talking about this matter and offended his wealthy old employers one by one, and Yuxin Technology will no longer care about him, you can imagine how miserable he will be in the rest of his life, and whether he will even be able to survive the rest of his life is not very clear.
Easy to say.
Based on his understanding of Lu Yuxin, at least that woman could definitely do such a thing.
What made Love Dracula determined to give it a try was the visit of Guha Seth.
When he saw the current secretary-general of the alliance at the door, the look of defeat on his face made him almost unrecognizable.
After being stunned for a long time, he invited: "Come in and sit."
Welcoming Guha Seth into his room, the two sat opposite each other and remained silent.
After another long while, Guha Seth broke the silence: "I envy you very much."
"Huh?" Love Dracula felt a little surprised. Of course, he didn't quite agree with what the person opposite him said. After all, only he knew how much pressure he had endured. What did this person who had just become the secretary-general know?
However, Guha Set's next words made Love Dracula suddenly feel that maybe he really should give it a try.
"At least you still have a choice."
Love Dracula opened his mouth, wanting to comfort him, but nothing came out.
Indeed, he still had a choice, but Guha Seth had no choice.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the alliance is destined to fall apart unless Yuxin Technology changes its mind and joins the alliance.
But even so, with the strength of Yuxin Technology, the position of secretary-general of the alliance is definitely not something Guha Seth can get his hands on.
It's very pitiful that I have just taken a step forward and before I have time to see more scenery, I am destined to be pushed down. Love Dracula can understand this feeling. You must know that a person who used to focus on research has to switch to administrative work.
This determination is not easy.
If there wasn't much hope ahead, who would make such a choice?
The result was so cruel. He knew that Guha Seth was even ten years older than him. Basically, he would never have this chance again, especially since he was of Indian origin.
It’s over!
Love Dracula thought to himself.
As soon as he thought of this, the blood in his heart began to surge again.
What is he still hesitating about?
At least he still has a choice!
Five minutes later, Guha Seth left.
Five minutes and three seconds later, Love Dracula called Wang Yufei.
"Mr. Wang, thank you for your appreciation. I want to try it."
…
Returning to the Yuxin Technology headquarters building again, Love Dracula was very determined in his heart, and only one sentence repeatedly appeared in his mind, "At least I still have a choice."
Yes, he still has a choice. This is his greatest luck. Look at how many people can only remain mediocre in this life and have no choice at all?
So when he walked into Wang Yufei's chairman's office again, his expression was even more flattering.
In the morning, he met with his negotiating opponent, and now, he wants to meet with his future boss.
"Have you figured it out?" Wang Yufei asked, looking at Love Dracula with a smile.
Wang Yufei was not surprised by the arrival of Love Dracula. After all, he had personally blocked all negotiations. If the opponents wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible, they would definitely put pressure on the former Secretary-General.
"Yes, I think you are right. Compared to retirement, I am indeed younger and can still work for a while." Love Dracula said simply.
"Okay. Today the company will conduct some basic reviews on you. Please cooperate as much as possible. After passing the review, I will assign you the position of director of the company's future strategy department. As I said yesterday, your first task after taking office is
He is responsible for the renegotiation. Here I will give you a bottom line, all previously signed contracts are invalid. If the alliance wants us to send technical personnel to provide technical maintenance services for their quantum brain again, all contracts need to be re-signed."
"What about the standards for re-signing?" Love Dracula asked humbly.
Wang Yufei glanced at Love Dracula and replied with a smile: "This standard is also very simple. I can summarize it in two terms. The first is to cede territory; the second is to pay compensation!"
"Certain territory? Compensation?" Love Dracula felt a little confused.
"That's right, it means ceding land and paying compensation."
Wang Yufei nodded, stood up from his spacious boss chair, walked to the window, turned around and looked at the bustling capital outside the window, and continued: "The compensation is easy to understand. We recalled the people and re-selected them.
In the past, after such back and forth, we naturally had to pay compensation. Moreover, the shutdown of these quantum brains also delayed a lot of things for us, so of course we had to compensate. I set a bottom line for the standard of compensation, which is US$500 million for a quantum brain.
But this is the price that can be negotiated within three days after you arrive. If it is not extended for three days, this standard will automatically increase by US$100 million."
Love Dracula nodded blankly, the price is really not low.
