Chapter 358: Xia Wa

"The new formula: AI + inflatable doll = girlfriend."

"Artificial intelligence + missiles, when this kind of thing comes out, isn't war more terrifying? If artificial intelligence becomes conscious and begins to rebel, and robots destroy human beings, wouldn't it be easy?"

"The Army Ant Corporation is ready to let artificial intelligence spread to all corners, and then control the whole world in one fell swoop."

"Humanity is one step closer to destruction."

...

The announcement of the 'Artificial Intelligence +' project has undoubtedly caused a sensation. On the live broadcast platform, many people are expressing their concerns in comments and barrage.

Like ordinary people watching the excitement, some entrepreneurs and industry leaders at the summit forum are happy and sad.

This is a strategic-level project announced again after the release of the holographic mobile phone by Army Ant, and there is a lot of room for cooperation.

For some businesses, this is a very important opportunity.

If they can reach a cooperation on the 'Artificial Intelligence +' platform of Army Ant, it will be a great news for their company.

As soon as the project was released, many business owners began to think about how to cooperate with Army Ant Company.

But it's not all good news for some companies that are developing artificial intelligence.

Twenty minutes later, Lin Shucai walked off the podium amid the applause of the crowd. Musk, who was wearing a translation headset beside him, moved his body to Chen Mo's side and spoke in a low voice.

"Mr. Chen, are you interested in cooperating?"

Chen Mo was a little surprised that Musk would take the initiative to talk to him: "What cooperation?"

"Cooperation in autonomous driving, are you interested in investing in my company? I am seeking to privatize Tesla and recycle the stock for delisting. If Mr. Chen is interested, he can take a stake. Your company's technology, plus my company's starting point , I believe there will be very good results." Musk said.

Now Tesla is losing money again and again. If this problem is not solved as soon as possible, it will have a great impact on the company. In order to create the best operating environment for the company and turn losses into profits, he is considering privatizing and delisting the company.

Today, Army Ant has an intelligent core that has the potential to become autonomous driving.

Tesla's situation is not very good now.

Xu's real estate invested in Faraday and is now building a factory in Huaxia. He also has a sense of crisis and urgency.

If Army Ant cooperates with other automakers, I am afraid they will have more trouble. Moreover, his company is now entering a critical stage of building a factory in China. This news is not a good thing for him.

If Army Ant Company is willing to take a stake in them, this may be a good result.

With the support of Army Ant Company and the research on autonomous driving technology, there should not be too many problems, and Tesla may also become the largest

"What is your valuation of your company?" Chen Mo asked.

"$80 billion." Musk didn't beat around the bush and quoted a price he liked.

"Aren't you joking?" Chen Mo shook his head and smiled: "Your company's current operating conditions are not very good, and it loses money every year. This valuation is too high."

"The loss is temporary. As long as the M3 production line is completed, we will be able to turn losses into profits. In order to stabilize the stock, we must have good revenue data, which greatly affects operations and management. I am a little envious of Army Ant being not a listed company." There was a hint of exclamation in Tesla's tone.

They are listed companies, and shareholders want money, money that appears quickly, for no other reason. Therefore, in terms of company operation, it is not like the Marching Ant Company at all, and he cannot let go of his hands and feet, so he has the urgency of privatization.

Chen Mo still shook his head and said nothing.

Their company has laid out as early as the beginning, and is developing self-driving electric vehicles, and it is progressing well, but it has not been announced to the public. Zhao Min is following up on this project, so when it is announced, Zhao Min will handle it.

It's not that important to work with Tesla.

If the price of the other party is right, he can invest, but now the valuation is too high, he can't spend billions or tens of billions, and he will not receive a return.

There are still many places for his money to be used, such as the next nuclear fusion research project, which is a lot of money.

"We can also put it aside for a while. We can also have another kind of cooperation, such as licensing the source code of your smart core to us. We can discuss the licensing fee."

Musk pointed to Lin Shu who walked off the podium.

Although their company's autonomous driving is already a global leader, it is not perfect, and some defects exist, which often cause them many problems.

If you can get the smart source code of the army ant company and improve the vehicle system, it is definitely a big good thing.

"About authorization, you can talk to Zhao Min. She is in charge of managing this project. If she is willing to authorize it, there is no problem with me."

Chen Mo threw the ball directly to Zhao Min.

Regarding the smart code, the company has never licensed it, because it is the core technology of their company.

It seems that it is not very good to directly reject Musk here, so I throw the question to Zhao Min. He believes that Zhao Min understands the meaning of intelligent source code better than him, and it is impossible to authorize it.

"If Zhao Min is unwilling to authorize the source code, there is also a kind of cooperation. The 'Artificial Intelligence +' project is an open platform. Although the intelligent core is closed source, it has open relevant permissions. You can also use this intelligent core to join yours. Program technology, forming a new intelligent system, and licensing fees can also be discussed with Zhao Min."

Chen Mo knows that mastering core technologies is the key to making money for technology companies.

For a long time in the past, the products produced by Huaxia, the core technology was authorized by foreign imports, most of the profits were earned, and they were only part-time workers. Now that the role is just transferred, he can also do patent licensing and take most of the profits.

"Okay, then I have a chance to talk to President Zhao." Hearing Chen Mo's words, Musk's eyes showed a trace of loss, but he did not show it.

The World Artificial Intelligence Conference Forum Summit is still going on, and the next few companies have featured products from major global technology leaders. Chen Mo is only interested in knowing about these products, and there are no products that can make his eyes shine.

With the end of the last technical speech of the summit forum, the people off the field also showed their anticipation, because they knew that this year's summit forum had a final "peak question and answer" session.

As far as they know, the organizer invited Chen Mo to the scene in the "Q&A" session. Usually, Chen Mo keeps a low profile. Many forum meetings are attended by Zhao Min, and Chen Mo is rarely seen.

Chen Mo came over today, this is a rare opportunity to witness the demeanor of this genius.

In addition, there is another point to watch in the Q&A session of the peak, that is, the host of the peak Q&A is the intelligent robot of the Academy of Engineering.

This is the scene of the artificial intelligence conference, and many people want to see the progress of Huaxia's research and development in artificial intelligence. Although Army Ant Company is a leader in artificial intelligence, the intelligent robot of the Academy of Engineering is the official technology of China, and the natural world attracts attention.

Amidst much anticipation, the host of the conference finally spoke.

"Next is the event unique to this year's AI Summit Forum - Summit Q&A. For this summit Q&A, we invited two special people.

One is Mr. Chen Mo, the founder and chairman of Army Ant Company. Mr. Chen Mo has created a new river of artificial intelligence and is also the inventor of seismometers; the other is the host of 'Peak Q&A', an intelligent robot from Huaxia Academy of Engineering— —Xia Wa, let’s invite Xia Wa, an intelligent robot from the Academy of Engineering, to appear first.
