Chapter 217 Artificial Intelligence + Car?
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Carmen Rothschild." Seeing Carmen enter the meeting room, Jiang Chen got up to meet him and said with a friendly smile.
"Thank you for your enthusiasm. It's also a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Jiang Chen, the mysterious Oriental." With the same friendly smile, Carmen held Jiang Chen's extended hand and shook it.
High nose bridge, deep eye sockets, light green pupils. He looked very thin and lean. Judging from the self-cultivation of his gestures, he is indeed right for his background.
"Haha, do I look mysterious?" Jiang Chen joked to him with a smile.
"Of course, there are countless possibilities in your body, which is enough to be called a mystery in our opinion." Carmen said with a meaningful smile.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, then smiled and calmly invited him to sit down.
Regarding the Rothschild family, Jiang Chen had heard a lot about it. It's just that most of these news come from unknown sources, and the truth and conspiracy theories are mixed, making it difficult to figure out which part is true and which part is false.
According to public information, the annual turnover of Rothschild Banking Group is less than 10 billion US dollars, and the profit is less than 3 billion US dollars. It is estimated that its total capital will not exceed 30 billion US dollars, which is less than a fraction of the big European and American banks. .
Whether the status quo of this family has declined as it seems, or if they just deliberately faded out of the world's sight, as conspiracy theories speculate, it is all unknown. For example, Jiang Chen didn't know that Daimler Group was actually one of Rothschild's industries.
Of course, Jiang Chen was not interested in doing in-depth research on the history of the family's ups and downs. He simply learned about the identity of Carmen Rothschild who came to discuss business, and invited him to hold this discussion meeting.
At this moment, the two were sitting opposite each other at the conference table, with two cups of hot tea and two identical documents on the table.
"Our group is very interested in your company's achievements in the field of artificial intelligence. I believe that Mr. Jiang has read this letter of intent. I wonder if you have any good suggestions?" After downloading, Carmen got straight to the point.
Artificial intelligence is almost the development trend in the next 50 years. This can be glimpsed from the history of the wasteland at that time period. Although there have been divergences at historical nodes since the Cold War period, the overall development trend of civilization will not change.
In order to grasp the pulse of the times, Daimler Group also made a move in line with the trend of the times. So I found a futuristic technology company that has sprung up in the field of artificial intelligence, and explored the possibility of applying artificial intelligence to the automobile production industry.
"certainly,
But before we start, can I ask a question? "Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Excuse me." Carmen also said with a smile.
"I don't know why your company chose us? You know, our field of expertise is in the field of mobile phone software. As for the automotive industry, it is no exaggeration to say that we know nothing about it." Jiang Chen told the truth frankly.
Regarding Jiang Chen's confession, Carmen did not give up, she shook her head and continued.
"This has no effect. We have already designed the radar sensor equipment and the main control computer for artificial intelligence driving, leaving only the software."
"Originally we had a partner, but something went wrong with the software developer we cooperated with, which caused the software and hardware to not be perfectly compatible, and the car may crash when the car is driving. You know, on the highway What are the consequences of such a mistake, so we terminated the contract."
After a pause, Carmen looked at Jiang Chen meaningfully, smiled and said.
"We asked high prices. Asked equally high."
"Can I ask how much is the asking price?" Jiang Chen took a sip from his teacup and smiled.
"1 billion dollars." Carmen stretched out a finger and said slowly.
Hearing Carmen's offer, Jiang Chen was secretly speechless.
Good guy, should it be said that it is a large consortium spanning the century? The selling price is 1 billion U.S. dollars, and the business of selling software is simply more profitable than selling gold.
When thinking this way, he selectively forgot that he is now the chairman of a large company with a market value of tens of billions. This 1 billion US dollars is equivalent to one month's income of Future Technology.
But who would hate more money?
However, in Carmen's eyes, Jiang Chen's silence was interpreted as a lack of money, so he smiled slightly. He said, "Of course, the price is negotiable. If Mr. Jiang is not satisfied with the price, you can ask me."
After all, if competitors Audi and BMW can take the lead in entering the field of "artificial intelligence vehicles", it will undoubtedly help them seize market opportunities. A measly $1 billion. In 2014, Daimler Group's pre-tax profit was 10.8 billion euros, and its liquidity can be said to be very ample.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chen spoke slowly.
"A billion dollars is fine, but I have one condition."
She frowned slightly, but the smile soon returned to Carmen's face.
"Oh? Please tell me."
"I need to add Futureman 1.0 to the system's boot interface."
"Joining Future People 1.0? Is it just this? I have to remind you that we have no plans to introduce a social platform into the autopilot system." Carmen said in a humorous tone.
"It's okay. It's just adding one, and the duration is within 1 second." Jiang Chen said with a nonchalant smile.
After thinking for a while, Carmen nodded, then smiled and held out her hand.
"Then I think our deal is done, right?"
"Of course." Jiang Chen also smiled and held his hand, "It's a pleasant cooperation."
Since it was only a minor change, Carmen also brought a professional lawyer with her when she came, and the contract revision was completed on the spot.
After signing, Carmen waved to the secretary behind her, and then took a briefcase from her.
"After signing the non-disclosure agreement, we will submit the specific software requirements and chip samples to you, and you only need to create a program compatible with our chips. Although the contract is a little 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 have to be postponed, and the new car will have to skip the launch of the new car regrettably.
In May, Yao Yao's strength was too underestimated.
"Of course, by the way, is there any reward for early delivery?" Jiang Chen asked with half-joking luck.
Frozen for a moment, Carmen really didn't expect Jiang Chen to have the ability to finish ahead of schedule. 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. Jiang can finish it ahead of schedule, I can give you a small gift." Carmen said with a smile.
"Can you tell me what the gift is?" Jiang Chen said in a relaxed tone.
"I heard that Mr. Jiang's car is the Maybach s600 of our group. Are you satisfied with our company's brand?" Carmen said with a mysterious smile.
"Of course, both comfort and reliability are very satisfactory."
"If Mr. Jiang can deliver the car before May, I can give you a luxury sports car - the Maybach ex under design. The global sale is limited to 5 units." To be continued.
