American drama life begins with Dr. House
218 We are the light of mankind! (5000 words~)
Donkey Sk thought that after he proposed such a bargaining chip, Du Wei's face would show surprise.
After all, his company is an extremely well-known enterprise in the world, and he himself is officially one of the top ten richest people in the world.
His promise is something that many people dream of.
But when Du Wei, who was sitting opposite him, heard these words, his face was still extremely indifferent.
It's as if what Donkeyk just said was not about the prospect of a trillion-dollar industry, but about whether to spend two dollars to buy a cabbage.
Just when Donsk was about to think that his promise was actually not as valuable as he thought, Duwei finally responded to him.
"Promise is worthless in the face of huge benefits.
If you really want to know that information, exchange your shares for it.
I want 51% of the shares you own.
If you can afford the price, we can discuss it again."
Lusk admitted that promises would indeed turn sour in the face of huge interests.
Can 51% of the shares?
Du Wei is really a lion with a big mouth!
This is tantamount to letting Lusk hand over control of the company!
Donkeyk took a breath and glanced at Bobby beside him in disbelief, as if asking him if he heard correctly.
But the look on Bobby's face was even more surprised than him, and he didn't expect that the reward Duwei wanted was the shares held by Donkey Sk.
In Bobby's opinion, Donkey Ske's promise just now was sincere enough.
You must know that what Du Wei possesses is not the technology itself, all he possesses is some valuable information.
With Donkeyk's ability, he will definitely be able to shine in related industries.
What Du Wei needs to do is to share the information about the future in advance now.
But Du Wei's request sounded like he didn't want to trade at all.
Let’s not talk about whether Donkeys is willing to spit out current profits for future benefits.
We must know that one of the reasons why Donkeyk is ranked among the top ten richest people in the world is the net worth brought by his holdings of shares.
If he really gives 51% of his shares to Du Wei, he will immediately fall out of the top ten richest people.
For Lusk, this is completely different from the development strategy he has formulated.
Lusk has always been a person who likes to use his popularity in the public sphere to promote the development of his company.
If he loses his status as one of the top ten richest people in the world, then his words will not have enough weight.
This is like giving up the existing advantages and starting from scratch.
No one would give up a great advantage and gamble on an unknown future for no reason.
At this time, what Donsk was thinking was similar to what Bobby was thinking.
He showed his sincerity, but Du Wei did not reciprocate his sincerity. This is not the way to do business.
When doing business, it is always possible to conclude a deal only if both parties are sincere.
If someone like Du Wei directly makes an unreasonable request, he won't be able to do business.
Lusk frowned and pursed his thin lips, thinking in his heart whether he had missed any key information.
But after much thought, he couldn't find anything worth 51% of the shares in Du Wei's words, except... this bionic man!
Thinking of this, Donkey Ske cautiously said:
"Can I use this android to reverse engineer the key code of the mind ball?"
"No, the mind ball has an extremely sensitive intrusion and self-destruction device.
If it detects traces of intrusion, it will activate the self-destruction device and eliminate all traces."
After understanding that the motionless android in front of him was completely unable to bring him huge benefits, Lusk finally couldn't help but said:
"Then do you know what 51% of the shares I own means?"
"Of course, that means you will work for me from now on."
Seeing that Du Wei clearly understood the meaning behind his proposal, Donkey Ske finally understood something.
Du Wei had no intention of doing more transactions with them.
Their trading has stopped in the area of androids.
Du Wei obviously had no intention of using the remaining sensitive information in exchange for anything with him.
Lusk smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"That means there's nothing to talk about?"
"Yes, as long as you are willing to put up 51% of the shares, we can talk about it."
Donkeyske waved his hand. It was absolutely impossible for him to agree to this business before seeing benefits that were comparable to the 51% shares.
This is only possible unless his brain is really kicked by a donkey.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to reach a deadlock, Bobby, as the introducer, immediately came out to smooth things over:
"You two, I think there may be some misunderstanding between you, please listen to me.
Since Donkeyk and I have the funds, Du Wei has the information.
Then we can sign a confidentiality agreement and the three of us will jointly establish a new company.
Because Du Wei invested with the most critical information, I suggested that Du Wei personally take 51% of the profits, and Donkey and I would share the remaining 49% shares equally according to the amount of investment.
What do you two think?"
Luske's eyes lit up, even though he had to advance his own funds for this proposal.
But this is much better than Du Wei's direct request for 51% of his shares just now.
If he feels that this cooperation model is not working, he can immediately stop providing funds.
At most, he lost a little money that could be earned back at any time.
He nodded immediately and said:
"I think it's feasible."
After finishing speaking, the two of them looked at Du Wei together.
Du Wei smiled lightly, and things were developing as he planned.
This is the skill of negotiation, a psychological technique called the house-breaking effect.
First make a proposal that the other party will never accept.
With this foreshadowing, other suggestions that would have been awkward to make directly became acceptable.
Just like now.
Du Wei relied on intelligence to obtain a company with sufficient funds.
However, Du Wei still pretended to be embarrassed and nodded reluctantly:
"Okay, just do what Bobby says.
But I have a requirement. It must be stated externally that this company was founded by you and Bobby.
And this company absolutely cannot go public.
Only by doing this can we move on to other things.”
Upon hearing Duwei's request, Bobby and Donkey looked at each other involuntarily.
As trendsetters in the financial industry, they naturally understand what it means not to be listed.
Not being listed means that they don't have to disclose financial reports to the public, and there is a lot of knowledge that can be done in it.
At the same time, Du Wei, the actual controller of the company, can be well hidden.
But not being listed also means that they cannot rely on the secondary market to realize their equity.
However, if the company's products are amazing enough, it actually doesn't matter whether the equity pass is realized through the secondary market.
So the two of them quickly made a decision.
"good."
"OK."
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
The three of them reached out and shook each other's hands to reach a preliminary agreement.
This dazzling operation left Lincoln, who had regained his mobility, scratching his head.
He just felt that this real world was full of things he couldn't understand.
Karen, who was following Du Wei, relied on his status as a bystander to clearly see what had just happened.
Bobby and Donkeys unknowingly fell into Duwei's rhythm during their conversation.
From the moment the androids appeared, the two of them were already in a state of confusion.
So that it is difficult to maintain normal standards.
Their hearts were completely distracted by the precious information that Du Wei had not revealed, so much so that they did not even notice the demolition effect Du Wei used.
I have to say that Du Wei can make himself the real protagonist no matter where he is.
He actually successfully completed the operation in Bobby's home court.
Karen, who was filled with emotion, suddenly heard Du Wei asking him to help draft the relevant agreement.
This sudden trust made Karen feel ashamed for broadcasting the live broadcast to Winston.
As if Duwei didn't notice the flash of embarrassment on Karen's face, he followed Bobby to the large open kitchen of his house.
A private chef wearing a top hat is busy here.
According to Bobby, this outstanding chef once worked in a three-star Michelin restaurant and is proficient in French cuisine.
But it was obvious that neither of them paid attention to the small, delicate Ositra caviar appetizer on the plate in front of them.
Now that the three parties have reached a preliminary agreement, the two businessmen, Bobby and Donkey Sk, naturally want to know how much benefit they can get from Duwei's information.
"Well, Du Wei, why don't we talk about artificial intelligence first?"
Lusk looked at Duwei who was dealing with Ositra caviar with bright eyes.
Compared to the two people who often eat these things, Du Wei has never eaten such high-end meals since he came to this world.
Although the meal in front of you is just an appetizer, you can clearly see the skill of the chef.
River shrimp broth is made into jelly, which is a thin layer on the bottom of the bowl and has an amber-like sheen.
The top is decorated with river shrimp, artichoke puree, and osetra caviar in a dot-like composition, bringing a visually balanced beauty.
But although it looks good, it actually doesn't have a special taste when you eat it.
After finishing the appetizer in two or three bites, Du Wei wiped his mouth with a napkin and answered Donkey Sk's question.
"Sorry, I haven't eaten yet today. I'm a little hungry. Sorry.
Since we mentioned artificial intelligence, we have to mention the Terminator, a movie from the 1980s.
I think you should know that Skynet, which rules all mankind in that movie, only has 60 trillion floating point operations per second.
But in fact, this floating point computing power is not even comparable to the 4090 graphics card produced by NVIDIA.
In other words, in the 1980s, a 4090 graphics card could surpass the global computing power...
Oh, wait a minute, I’ll finish the smoked porcini first.”
Seeing that Du Wei went to deal with the appetizers in the middle of speaking, Bobby and Donkey Sk were speechless.
They didn't even understand why Du Wei gave this example.
Technology in the 1980s limited people's imagination, so it is normal for Skynet to have only 60 trillion floating point operations per second in the movie.
But the key is what Du Wei didn't say later.
The two of them felt itchy and could only watch Du Wei eat the smoked porcini mushrooms covered with cuttlefish gauze.
This dish was a big surprise to Du Wei, because the cuttlefish gauze was actually wrapped with eggplant puree, squid, capers, green olives.
One bite, five flavors.
The only pity is that the portion is too small.
Du Wei now misses the Oriental egg fried rice very much. The portion is large and generous, and it is something that can fill his stomach.
Michelin French cuisine?
It's just stuff between the teeth.
Du Wei, who had filled his stomach a little, continued:
"...I mentioned the example of Skynet just to say that if we blindly pursue floating point computing speed, artificial intelligence will never be born.
But in fact, someone has already taken a different approach and developed an artificial intelligence that can learn.
If the mind ball replicates human consciousness, then this artificial intelligence imitates human consciousness.
It can draw nutrients from the many failures and success stories in human history to make itself more like a human being.
And the reason why I can speak so clearly is that I have already seen this artificial intelligence.
Speaking of which, you must be familiar with a company, Decima Technology...
Oh, thanks, French blue lobster slow-cooked in hazelnut butter? I’ll try that.”
This time, the two of them didn't pay attention to Du Wei's eating movements. Anyway, their thoughts had drifted to the bankrupt Decima Technology.
Bobby has a very fond memory of this company.
Because it was his short selling of this company that led him to earn crazy profits!
Lusk has also conducted in-depth research on Desima Technology, which suddenly appeared out of nowhere and can rival his own 'SpaceX' company.
This is a company that focuses on artificial intelligence. According to their president, the Samaritan Artificial Intelligence owned by Desima Technology is an epoch-making artificial intelligence program.
It's just that the company didn't officially launch Samaritans until it went bankrupt.
This made Lusk once think that this was a company that used its bright prospects to defraud investors of their money.
Until now, he heard this name from Du Wei again.
This made him realize that if Decima Technology could really successfully launch the Samaritan, the world's richest man would probably have nothing to do with him.
When Du Wei finished eating the firm and elastic blue lobster on the plate, the two of them came back to their senses.
"What did you just say? Oh, yes, Desima Technology.
What they have with Samaritan is actually what I call artificial intelligence that can pull data from big data and imitate it.”
Hearing this, Lusk suddenly interrupted:
"But Desima Technology has never officially launched this Samaritan online. How can you confirm this?"
Du Wei smiled mysteriously:
"That may be because your official friends didn't tell you that Samaritan actually went online temporarily three times.
Before it appeared, there was another project called "Northern Lights" that had been running for several years.
Of course, only seven people knew about this plan at the beginning, so it’s normal for you not to know.”
Lusk opened his mouth, his eyes full of surprise.
Only 7 people know?
Is Du Wei among them?
What is the identity of Du Wei?
Bobby was also shocked when he heard this for the first time.
He had always thought that Du Wei's claim that he was a secret organization hidden in the course of history was nonsense.
But now it sounds like it might be the case.
Otherwise, where did Du Wei learn so many secret things?
Don’t mention it’s Bobby who knows these things. Judging from Donkey’s reaction, you know that he has never heard of these things!
Donkey Sk’s background is beautiful!
Without the official support of the beautiful country, it would be difficult for Donsk to get to where it is today.
You must know that the Starlink he deployed in Ukraine is paid for by the military of the United States.
But even so, Lusk has never heard of artificial intelligence going online to secretly monitor people!
This fact is really shocking. It turns out that their right to privacy has been violated by the hateful official!
If this news breaks out, Washington will be overcrowded in an instant.
Because then the streets and alleys will be filled with people marching and protesting!
After the brief shock, Donkeyske was the first to regain his senses:
"Evidence, I need to see evidence like a bionic man."
Du Wei smiled, put the new sirloin and beef in front of him with a fork into his mouth, swallowed it and said:
“When we signed the agreement and established the company, I will naturally provide the program about Samaritan.
But now, you can treat it as a lie, or try to believe it so that you can better accept more information.
Oh, by the way, if you believe it, please be prepared to arrange 10,000 square meters of top-notch servers.
Artificial intelligence requires far more computing power than you imagine.
That's not what 60 trillion floating point operations per second is enough to support.
I think you two can handle this, right?"
This time Bobby and Donkey took a deep breath together.
Neither of them were more shocked than they were today.
Ten thousand square meters of top-notch servers?
Regardless of money, just what kind of program can use such a huge server group is already worth thinking about.
The epoch-making artificial intelligence mentioned by Du Wei seems to be exactly what it is.
Donkey Ske now feels as if it was not bad that he promised to give Du Wei 51% of the shares.
At least he can share the benefits brought about by this super artificial intelligence equally with Du Wei, instead of having to share a part equally with Bobby like now.
Aware of the huge wealth contained inside, Lusk suppressed his excited voice and skipped all preparations before asking:
"Then what would be a good name for our company? Duwei x United Company?"
Beyond AI companies?
Or just call it ‘first’?”
Hearing Donkey's naming art, Bobby rolled his eyes helplessly.
But he doesn't seem to have a good name to choose from.
After all, his own company is called Akers Capital, but it's no better than Donsk's SpaceX.
Bobby hesitated for a moment and said:
"How about calling it Duwei Capital?"
"Du Wei has clearly said that he wants to be a stealth shareholder, but if you can't do that, you should still use smart technology.
The simplest is the best.”
"Donkey Sk, I'm not telling you, the name of this smart technology is too old-fashioned..."
…
After seeing that the two of them had really begun to think about the future of the company, Du Wei smiled and said decisively:
"No, no, no, first of all, the purpose of our company is to benefit the future of mankind.
So I named it – Humanity’s Light!”
