Chapter 376: Big customers come to your doorstep, market segmentation(2/3)
"Isn't this bad?" Jian Ziyan still felt that the 6.18% discount was too much and was suspected of bribery.
Xu Haitao smiled: "Well, Mr. Jian, tell Director Wang this and see what he wants. If Director Wang thinks it's okay, don't refuse anymore."
"This..." Jian Ziyan thought for a while: "Okay, I'll ask Director Wang before talking."
Jian Ziyan walked to the side and dialed Wang Yi's number:
"Chairman, I come to Yanlord to book a room..."
Jian Ziyan explained the process again, and Wang Yi smiled: "Yanlord wants to cooperate with Xingyi Technology and introduce Xingyi Smart Home. We also sold a house, parking space, and basement worth 6.6 million, half of it, and half of it."
Give it to you?"
"Yes, I don't dare to accept it, he is..."
Wang Yi interrupted Jian Ziyan: "It's okay, just accept it, it doesn't matter. As for the cooperation between Xingyi Zhijia and Yanheng, there is no problem at all if you accept it directly. This small discount will be used as an intermediary fee for your matchmaking.
"
"Ah? This..." Jian Ziyan was in disbelief: "Chairman, isn't our company always anti-corruption? I am suspected of crossing the line, and the amount is too large!"
But Wang Yi didn't care: "If the water is clear, there will be no fish. If we really check it out, there are not many who are completely clean. Our company's anti-corruption campaign also targets those worms who don't generate much revenue for the company but are greedy."
Or executives with excessive appetites. Others, as long as they generate more revenue for the company, contribute more, and get a little benefit, they will turn a blind eye."
"This cooperation with Yanlord can create hundreds of millions of profits for the company. With the face of Professor Mo and me, it is normal for you to get a 20% discount. The difference of one million won't matter."
Cooperating with Yanlord, we won big customers and brought hundreds of millions of profits to Xingyi Smart Home. Jian Ziyan played a leading role and naturally made outstanding contributions. She saved more than 1 million yuan in buying a house, which was only a hundredth of the profit. Wang Yi
How could there be a chance?
Wang Yi's principle is that if he creates a profit of 10 million for the company, in addition to salary and performance, he can get another 100,000.
Otherwise, who would work hard?
"Is this appropriate?" Jian Ziyan still found it difficult to accept.
Wang Yi nodded: "It's okay. You will be responsible for the subsequent cooperation with Yanlord. If the project is done well, everything is appropriate. If the project is not done well, I will deduct it back to you."
"okay!"
Jian Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, then responded and walked back to the conference room.
"How is it?" It's about the future, Xu Haitao is full of expectations.
"Director Wang believes that cooperation with Yanlord is possible, and I will be responsible for this project. Next, Xingyi Technology will launch a series of smart home products. Yanlord can set up a business department. The two parties will contact each other and strive to make a decision before the end of the year.
Sample room."
"Before the end of the year? So efficient!" Xu Haitao was shocked.
"What? Mr. Xu wants to advance more slowly?"
Xu Haitao waved his hand decisively: "No, the sooner the better! I'll go find the chairman in a minute!"
"good!"
After signing the house purchase contract and applying for the loan, Jian Ziyan hesitated.
In her hand, she had 3 million lent by Wang Yi and 300,000 raised by herself and her family, for a total of 3.3 million.
Now after a 6.12% discount, the total price is only 4.08 million. It is a loan of 1 million. How about borrowing less from Wang Yi?
Or still borrow 3 million and only borrow 780,000?
After a little hesitation, Jian Ziyan chose to lend Wang Yi 3 million!
'Well, I've already borrowed so much anyway, so there's no point in borrowing hundreds of thousands less. The worst I can do is give him a child!'
Thinking of this, Jian Ziyan directly made a down payment of 3.3 million and a loan of 700,000, and bought her first flat in her life!
In Imperial Capital, a large apartment with an area of 150 square meters is definitely a flat floor!
After all, housing prices in the imperial capital are too high, and every inch of land costs a lot of money. Most people buy a house for 80 square meters, or even 70 square meters...
What surprised Jian Ziyan was that not only did she win the big flat today, but she also picked up the Xingyi smart home introduced by Yanlord, which was a double happiness!
iFlytek Headquarters.
Wang Yi and a group of shareholders and executives of iFlytek held the first shareholders' meeting.
One shareholder spoke first:
"Director Wang, iFlytek and Xiaoi Robot have conflicts in many businesses. One is your wholly-owned acquisition, and the other is your investment as the largest shareholder. How do you plan to balance these conflicts?"
Hearing this, everyone looked over.
This is very important.
The resources of the two are integrated and strong cooperation is achieved.
But business conflicts can also be fatal.
How Wang Yi weighs the balance is related to the development of the two companies. After all, Wang Yi plays a very important role in both companies.
“Not only does iFlytek conflict with Xiaoi Robot, but the iFlytek input method also conflicts with Sogou input method!”
Someone spoke again.
Wang Yi waved his hand and said: "Let's talk about it one by one. As we all know, there are two major development directions of AI at the moment, intelligent speech and intelligent semantics."
"iFlytek is the leader in the field of intelligent speech. You have absolute advantages in speech recognition and speech synthesis. Even dialect recognition is no problem."
"And Xiaoi Robot is a leader in intelligent semantics, that is, natural language processing."
"In this way, the AI technologies of iFlytek and Xiaoi Robot are two dimensions."
"Even Xiaoi Robot has developed intelligent speech recognition and speech synthesis, but in the field of speech technology, it is far behind iFlytek."
"Most directly, the Xiaoi robot can recognize Mandarin, and dialects close to Mandarin, but not dialects from other provinces. This is also the current pain point of Xiaoai Audio. And you, iFlytek, can handle it."
"Similarly, iFlytek has also made achievements in the field of semantics (natural language processing), but it is far behind Xiaoi Robot."
Everyone nodded.
As Wang Yi said, iFlytek and Xiaoi Robot are two development directions, each with its own strengths.
Wang Yi continued: "But the competition in the AI field is comprehensive. A single iFlytek or a single Xiaoi robot can only crush its opponents in the field of speech or semantics. But combined, it is easy to be defeated by BAT and others."
The rising star is defeated!”
Everyone nodded again, this was indeed the case.
"This is also the reason why I acquired Xiaoi Robot and made a strategic investment in iFlytek!"
"You each have your own strengths. One is good at pronunciation and the other is good at semantics. It can be said that you are two excellent students with partial subjects. If things continue like this, neither of you will be able to get into a good university."
“But the advantages complement each other!”
"If we integrate technology and databases, iFlytek can also achieve rapid breakthroughs in semantics and natural language processing."
"The Xiaoi robot can also develop rapidly in the fields of speech recognition and speech synthesis."
“Cooperation benefits both sides!”
Hearing this, everyone fell into silence.
This is indeed a good idea, technology sharing and database sharing.
With Xiaoi Robot’s semantic recognition technology and database support, iFlytek’s semantic shortcomings can also be filled.
Similarly, with iFlytek's language recognition technology and speech synthesis technology, the Xiaoi robot can also recognize more dialects!
This is an excellent opportunity for both parties.
Originally, the two parties were competitors and it was impossible to cooperate, let alone share databases.
But now, because of the emergence of Wang Yi, a wholly-owned acquisition and a company with the largest shareholder can be regarded as a community of interests and can fully cooperate.
But then, someone else asked: "Director Wang, once we share technology and database in this way, it will indeed make a qualitative leap for both of us. But the technology will also be the same, and there will only be more business conflicts in the future."
Wang Yi waved his hand: "This is also not a problem. In terms of business, there is a big difference between the two. Xiaoi Robot is mainly for B-side enterprise users, while iFlytek is for C-side individual consumer users."
"Instead of letting Xiaoi Robot and iFlytek enter each other's fields, fight with each other, and eventually be swallowed up by competitors, both lose miserably. It is better to concentrate on shining in their respective fields, defeat other rivals, and finally meet at the top!
"
"In the future, Xiaoi Robot will continue to focus on corporate customers, continue to conduct in-depth research and development in the field of natural language processing, and continue to use AI to provide AI customer service services for operator platforms and e-commerce platforms, smart city services for the government, and smart finance for banks.
, providing smart medical care for hospitals..."
"iFlytek will continue to focus on C-end customers, continue to work hard in the fields of speech recognition and speech synthesis, and become the first in the industry, or even a monopoly!"
"In addition to continuing to make iFlytek input method, we can also launch iFlytek Translator, iFlytek Hearing (speech to text)..."
"Of course, Sogou can also make input methods and speech-to-text. However, Sogou can't make translators, and neither Xiaoi Robot nor Xingyi Technology can make translators. The entire translator market has been ceded to Xinxun.
fly!"
"Director Wang, is this serious?" Liu Yifeng became interested, and everyone else also looked forward to it.
Once Xingyi Technology builds a translator, the iFlytek translator will be useless.
Even if they are better, they can't beat Xingyi Technology.
