Chapter 13: Two Billion Buyouts

Wanli Technology Co., Ltd., one of the three Internet giants in Huaguo, has a stock market value of more than one trillion yuan. It is a super factory that countless young people want to work in.

However, the vice president of such a giant company actually took the initiative to call himself to discuss cooperation.

Although Ma Wanli, the president of the company, did not call personally, Li Xingyang was still slightly surprised.

Immediately replied: "I have time tomorrow, how about we make an appointment to talk?"

"Okay! I have asked someone to buy a high-speed rail ticket, and I will be able to arrive in Suhong City tonight. Tomorrow morning, we will meet in a cafe in the city."

Li Lihong said on the phone.

...

May 13, ten o'clock in the morning.

Urban area, Longjiang Road, Rebuck Cafe.

In a private room with a quiet environment.

Li Lihong, who is 56 years old this year, has thick black hair and few wrinkles on his face. He looks like a middle-aged man in his thirties. Li Lihong has arrived at the appointed place ahead of schedule. Drink a small half cup.

He squinted slightly and tapped his index finger on the table, preparing for the next negotiation.

And the purpose of his coming this time is to represent Wanli Technology Company to propose the acquisition of the software "God-level Painter", and strive to get it.

That's right.

As early as three days ago, the software "God-level Painter" attracted his attention, because a P9-level architecture engineer in the company's technology department felt very happy after experiencing the functions of the software "God-level Painter". Surprised, he immediately reported the situation and gave a very high evaluation:

"An epoch-making intelligent drawing software!"

"The ability in image processing is more than ten times that of Wenxin Qianwen!"

"The developer of this software is a top artificial intelligence genius. This kind of talent can exert the ability of thousands of ordinary talents."

"It is recommended to offer the most lucrative treatment and introduce this talent!"

The architect is most concerned about the developers behind "God-level Painter".

After seeing the report, he also downloaded "God-level Painter" himself, and experienced it for a while. Li Lihong, the vice president, paid more attention to the smart software "God-level Painter" itself.

powerful.

This software is really powerful.

There is no comparable product on the market yet.

And most importantly, this software can make money. The activation price of 1999 yuan is too high in the eyes of ordinary users, but it is just right in his eyes.

If the software can be acquired at a suitable price, Wanli Company will be able to tell a lot of stories in the investment circle immediately, stimulating a wave of the company's stock price to soar.

Because the generative AI Wenxinqianwen has been out for more than two years, it has evolved through four versions, and its functions have become stronger and stronger, and it has burned 40 to 50 billion yuan. In terms of profitability, Wenxinqianwen has not made any money until now, and it dare not even collect membership fees. It is free for users to use. The purpose is to attract the rapid growth of users and curb the development of similar generative AI in China.

The strategy was successful.

But the burning of money was really too much. Even a giant like Wanli Company couldn't take it anymore. Investors even complained. Some wanted to withdraw their investment, because there was no hope of making money.

The appearance of the software "God-level Painter" made Li Lihong see how to boost investors' confidence.

One, this software is a fee-based software based on Wenxinqianwen. Although it is only aimed at the field of drawing, it has a wide range of applications. Tens of millions of users all pay, that is a 20 billion market.

And this is just the domestic market.

Second, "God-level Painter" makes people see the direction of generating AI profits, which will greatly boost the confidence of investors and the market, inject a strong impetus, and drive the stock price of Wanli Company to rise significantly. The software itself is profitable, and the significance is even greater.

With the current market value of Wanli Company, a 1% increase in the stock price means that the total market value has increased by tens of billions. If the stock price rises by 10%, it is a concept of hundreds of billions, and no matter how profitable "God-Class Painter" is, it is impossible There are hundreds of billions of such an exaggeration.

So Li Lihong immediately introduced the situation of this software to the board of directors, and put forward the idea of ​​wanting to acquire it. All the executives were very surprised, discussed it enthusiastically, and finally expressed their support for the acquisition.

President Ma Wanli also expressed his support, and authorized Li Lihong to take charge of this matter, demanding that it be done, no matter what means were adopted.

...

Inside the private room.

Just when Li Lihong was thinking about how to get the software.

With a click, the glass door swung open.

Li Xingyang walked in and said, "Excuse me, are you Vice President Li of Wanli Company? I'm here for my appointment, so I shouldn't be late, right?"

"No, no, just right."

Li Lihong got up immediately, stretched out his hand, and was extremely polite. After asking about Li Xingyang's taste, he asked the waiter to order two more cups of coffee, some fruits and desserts, and exchanged greetings for a while, praising Li Xingyang for being handsome, young and promising Unfortunately, his daughter is already married, otherwise he would definitely introduce her to him.

"Where is it, you're too proud." Li Xingyang was a little embarrassed by the praise.

"Mr. Li, about the cooperation, why don't we get straight to the point and get to the point." Feeling that the atmosphere is almost the same, Li Lihong said.

"Okay, Mr. Li, please tell me." Li Xingyang turned serious and made a gesture of please.

"Our Wanli company wants to acquire 100% of the "God-level Painter" developed by you. I wonder if you have any consideration in this regard?" Li Lihong said.

"Sell, of course consider selling, as long as the price is right, I will sell the software to you right away, no problem."

Li Xingyang said beyond the other party's expectations, even beaming with joy, eager to sell the software, now Li Xingyang is going crazy because he wants to make money, and he is only interested in making quick money. Fast money coming speed.

If anyone can spend a large sum of money and throw it in front of him, the software "God-level Painter", which has cost him a lot of sweat and effort, is completely irrelevant to him, and he never thought of relying on it. This software will last him a lifetime, and he still has a greater plan waiting to be realized.

"Okay, Mr. Li is a straightforward person. I like partners like Mr. Li the most... But in terms of price, how much does Mr. Li think is more appropriate?" Li Lihong looked happy, and it was done. This thing is half done.

Li Xingyang thought for a while and said: "Now the download volume of "God-level Painter" has exceeded 500,000, the actual users are close to 100,000, and the data is still increasing rapidly. In the future, it is no problem for the actual users to exceed one million. Yes... I am a down-to-earth person, and I am never greedy. Let’s calculate it based on 1 million paid activation users. Multiply it by 1999, that’s 2 billion. As long as your company gives me 2 billion in one go, this software I will sell it to you in good faith."

"Two billion?"

Li Lihong almost spit out his coffee, and shook his head again and again: "Two billion, our company can form a technical team to develop a drawing software that is more powerful than "God-level Painter", maybe even one billion is enough, young man , Your quotation is too exaggerated."

"Exaggerated? Let's not talk about whether you can make a billion, and even if you do it, how long will it take? After the software is made, how much user space will there be left in the market? Competition in the Internet field is about First-mover advantage, if you lose this advantage, no matter how good the subsequent products are, it will be difficult to take away much market share, unless you continue to fight price wars, you will not earn a penny.”

Li Xingyang spread his hands and analyzed it for him.

"Xiao Li!"

Li Lihong changed his address again, knocked on the table and said: "You are talking about the lion, and the technicians of our company noticed that your "God-level Painter" is based on our Wenxinqianqian. , the secondary processing of pictures is done on the shoulders of our company. But have you purchased Wenxinqianwen’s license for your software from us? Have you obtained the license? If you are concerned about this issue Go to court, don’t talk about making money, your software will be taken off the shelves and blocked.”

His face became serious and gloomy, releasing a sense of oppression.

"It's okay to file a lawsuit at will. At worst, my software will strip out the function of Wenxin Qianwen, and find other domestic generative AIs to cooperate with, such as Longteng's 'Chaos Zhuyuan', Huayao's 'Pangu Shengyi', Although the models of Rice Company's 'Nuwa' are inferior to 'Wenxin Qianwen' for the time being, it's not impossible to use them. My software can also speed up the maturity of these AI models.

Li Xingyang said calmly, not afraid of the other party's faint threat, who made the generative AI model on the market today not only Wen Xinqianwen, but it was in the Warring States Period, and what was missing was "God-level Painter" His powerful intelligent software, as long as he releases a cooperation signal, he will definitely be wooed by all parties.

"Xiao Li, no, little brother, I was joking just now, you must not take it seriously! Wen Xinqian asked that your software can continue to be used, and you can use it casually! It's just that two billion is really too much, we really can't take it With so much cash flow, I can't be such a big master, my authorization is within one billion, may I ask one billion, can you consider it?"

Li Lihong's attitude softened immediately, and said.

"No, one billion is too little."

Li Xingyang frowned, shook his head and said: "With the popularity of "God-Level Painter", it is inevitable that the number of users will exceed one million, and this will bring in an income of two billion. You can buy me out for two billion. In a short time, you will still pay through genuine users and earn the money back, which means you will get this software without spending a penny. If you sell more copies in the future, it will be your profit, and you will also get the credit for this software. The core algorithm can greatly improve the intelligence level of 'Wen Xin Qian Wen', it's a big win, and I'm the one who suffers the most...Anyway, two billion is my bottom line, so I can't give in!"

Seeing Li Xingyang's attitude is so firm.

Li Lihong could only say: "Little brother, don't be in a hurry. I'll call the headquarters and discuss it carefully. Wait for me for about an hour, and I will give you an answer."

He picked up his mobile phone and called the company's top executives, and had to discuss it again.
