Good guy, is it worthy of being said to be a large consortium that has spanned the century? The purchase price is US$1 billion, and the business of selling software is simply more profitable than selling gold.
While thinking this way, he selectively forgot that he was now the chairman of a large company with a market value of tens of billions. This US$1 billion was equivalent to Daming Technology's monthly income.
But who would mind having too much money?
However, Zhu Tian's silence was interpreted in Carmen's eyes as being too short of money, so he smiled slightly and said: "Of course, this price is negotiable. If Mr. Zhu is not satisfied with the price,
If you are not satisfied, you can raise it with me."
After all, if we can take the lead in entering the field of "artificial intelligence + automobiles" before our competitors Audi and BMW, it will undoubtedly help us seize market opportunities. It is only US$1 billion. The pre-tax profit of Dailem Group in 2014 was 10.8 billion euros.
, the liquidity can be said to be very abundant.
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Tian slowly spoke.
"One billion dollars is fine, but I have a condition."
She frowned slightly, but the smile quickly returned to Carmen's face.
"Oh? Please speak."
"I need to add the Daming Technology 1.0 logo to the system startup interface."
"Adding the logo of Daming Technology 1.0? Is it just this? I have to remind you that we have no plans to introduce a social platform into the autonomous driving system." Carmen said in a humorous tone.
"It doesn't matter, just add a logo, the duration is within 1 second." Zhu Tian smiled casually and said.
After just thinking for a moment, Carmen nodded, then smiled and stretched out her hand.
"Then I guess our deal is done, right?"
"Of course." Zhu Tian also smiled and held his hand: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
Since the changes were only minor, Carmen also brought a professional lawyer with him when he arrived, and the contract revision was completed on the spot.
After signing the contract, Carmen waved to the secretary behind her and took the briefcase from her hand.
"After signing the confidentiality agreement, we will submit the specific software requirements and chip samples to you. You only need to produce a program that is compatible with our chips. Although the time in the contract is somewhat tight, I believe that in the future
With your strength, you will definitely be able to produce amazing results before May next year."
In order to catch up with the launch of new cars next year, the procedures must be submitted before May, otherwise the filing and approval will be delayed, and the launch of new cars will unfortunately be delayed.
In May, Ye Quan’s strength was too underestimated.
"Of course, by the way, are there any rewards for early delivery?" Zhu Tian asked with half-joking luck.
Stunned for a moment
, Carmen really didn’t expect Zhu Tian to have the ability to complete it in advance. Generally, the development cycle of this kind of professional software is not very short, and it is not easy to complete it in 5 months.
"If Mr. Zhu can finish it in advance, I can give you a small gift." Carmen laughed and said.
"Can you tell me what the gift is?" Zhu Tian said in a relaxed tone.
"I heard that Mr. Zhu's car is our group's Maybach S600. I wonder if you are satisfied with our company's brand?" Carmen said with a mysterious smile.
"Of course, both comfort and reliability are very satisfying."
"If Mr. Zhu can deliver the goods before May, I can give you a limited-edition luxury sports car - the Maybach ex under design, with a limit of 5 units sold worldwide."
Maybach ex, limited to 5 units worldwide, is expected to sell for 4.2 million euros, equivalent to more than 40 million yuan!
Although this amount of money is nothing compared to their assets, it is undoubtedly a symbol of friendship as a gift.
What's more, it is a global limited edition, so if you want to buy it, you may not be able to buy it.
After sending Carmen out of the company, Zhu Tian checked his cell phone.
It was only around three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was a bit too early to go back, so he decided to go back to the office and sit for a while.
Leaning on the boss's chair, Zhu Tian sat in the chairman's office on the top floor, lazily overlooking the bustling street scene outside the window.
This feeling is really amazing.
Just half a year ago, he was just an ordinary person walking at the bottom, doing nothing for his meager salary. But now, he has gained the qualification to overlook it all.
On the other hand, just looking at these, he really couldn't think about it. Different from those "traditional chairman images" who have majestic faces and conscientiously make decisions on all matters of the company, he is very young and very energetic. His office
The desk is very clean, which means that no files can be seen.
His eyes were a little lazy, and he just looked out the window motionlessly. Looking at the endless flow of vehicles and hurried people on the street, she didn't know what was good about those things, except that they were crowded. She couldn't think of any better words to describe this.
Everything on the street.
The above is Xia Yuhe’s perspective.
At this moment, she was standing in Zhu Tian's office.
Just like Zhu Tian was looking out the window quietly, she was also looking at his side face unconsciously. She observed it for a long time, so much so that she lost track of time.
They had been working together for a long time, but she always felt that she still didn't understand him at all. But he seemed to know her well.
"Ahem, what's the matter?" Zhu Tian was the first to break the silence.
With Zhu Tian's insight, he noticed her from the moment she came in
.But what he didn’t expect was that this girl didn’t actually speak, but looked at him dumbfounded.
Speaking of which, I haven't had a good conversation with her since the last party.
"Ah, yes, a little bit. Ahem," Xia Yuhe, who realized that her tone was a bit panicked, coughed slightly, adjusted her mood, put on her professional expression, and said again: "It's about just now
Regarding the agreement with the Daimler Group.”
"Um."
Zhu Tian turned around and slid his chair back to his desk. He sat up straight and said, "Let's talk."
"Are you planning to enter the automotive industry by applying the Daming Technology 1.0 system to cars?" Xia Yuhe asked habitually, pushing up his glasses.
"We don't have this plan for the time being, but we don't rule out the possibility in the future." Zhu Tian shook his head: "In addition, the system customized by Daimler Group is not a transplant of Daming Technology 1.0. The development of the software is still left overseas.
The team will do it, and I will be responsible for getting it done."
According to Zhu Tian's plan, Daming Technology will naturally not let go of the automobile industry. As a major selling point, artificial intelligence is naturally indispensable.
If that's the case, then why accept the commission from the Dailem Group to help them design this artificial intelligence autonomous driving system? This is of course not about extending the cake to them first, but Zhu Tian has another meaning.
considerations.
As we all know, the quality of a car is one aspect, but in a sense, the more important thing is the brand that takes decades to operate.
To give a very simple example, the quality of Dongfeng Motors is actually quite good, but can it be sold at the same price as a Mercedes-Benz or BMW?
To a certain extent, the make of the car you drive can reflect the value of the car owner. To a large extent, a car is not just a means of transportation, but a symbol of status. In layman's terms, it is a tool for showing off.
Picking up girls in a Lamborghini is definitely easier than driving a Volkswagen.
The reason why we proposed to put the logo of Daming Technology 1.0 on the startup screen of the system is not for advertising purposes. After all, the new car launched by Dailem Group and equipped with an artificial intelligence autonomous driving system is positioned as a high-end car.
Luxury cars on the market. Since they are positioned in the high-end market, sales are destined to not be very high. As an advertisement, the efficiency is naturally extremely low.
What Zhu Tian likes is the brand! Let Daming Technology 1.0's brand be linked to the high-end market. With the newly launched luxury cars of Dailem Group, Daming Technology 1.0's brand will be exposed and warmed up to enter the market independently.
Imagine that as soon as you start a luxury car launched by Dailem Group that contains this system, you will see the eye-catching and cool logo of Daming Technology 1.0. Naturally, the trademark Daming Technology 1.0 will be used in the automotive field and high-end market
It's on the edge.
As for those car manufacturers seizing the "first opportunity"...
