"Thirty million!" An Lan gritted his teeth and said the maximum price granted to him by the company's senior management. No matter how much it was, he wouldn't be able to make the final decision!
With An Lan's words of 30 million, those accompanying Li Jingran who accompanied him to the negotiation, and even several of the people accompanying An Lan, showed a look of surprise and nervousness on their faces, especially after being caught by Li Jingran. The young men who were young men were so nervous that their palms sweated, as if the 30 million was going to fall on their heads.
"Mr. Li, our company is very sincere in cooperating with your company. I am not the kind of person who likes to haggle. Thirty million is already the highest price our company can offer. I believe Mr. Li also understands that this is not a small amount. As for Whether it¡¯s successful or not, Mr. Li just give me a word.¡±
After saying the quotation of 30 million, An Lan himself exhaled. In just a few dozen seconds, he could feel a lot of sweat on his back, becoming very sweaty and uncomfortable. Comfortable.
However, even though he was uncomfortable, he had to endure it and wait patiently for the young man opposite to speak. As a CEO with a technical background, An Lan knew very well that if the cooperation with Tomoko Voice did not achieve any results this time, then he would have to wait for the news. Flying technology is likely to be a disaster!
Three days ago, when iFlytek's technicians used USB to put an input method called "Zhizi Voice Input Method 0.0" in front of An Lan and asked him to experience it for himself, he was a little unconcerned and asked the technician first. After getting off, I asked him to leave.
"Sophon Voice? It seems that it is another small voice input company trying to get a share of the voice input method market." At that time, An Lan only glanced at the USB on his desk and put it on He looked away and muttered to himself with some contempt.
As the leading developer of intelligent voice input in China, it has been focusing on the underlying technology of speech engines for many years. The "iFlytek Voice" currently launched on the market has made Xunfei a leader in terms of market share and comprehensive feedback from users after use. FeiVoice is the best in the country in voice input, leading the way and becoming the benchmark in the industry with its absolute advantage! The speech engine developed by iFlytek is not only used by iFlytek itself, but many domestic high-tech companies engaged in voice input have to turn to iFlytek for help with the speech engine, allowing iFlytek to authorize themselves to use their speech engines. Use it as the core to build your own voice input method!
Since he didn¡¯t pay much attention to what was called ¡°Sophon Voice¡±, it wasn¡¯t until half a day later that An Lan, who was free, had the time to take a look at the installation client of the Sophon Voice Input Method left by the technician.
And when he looked at it, he sat at his desk and stared at it for three hours without even taking a sip of water. He did a lot of testing, recording and analysis. Three hours later, An Lan collapsed on the chair. My heart went cold!
After that, it was urgent to report to the company's senior management. The leaders attached great importance to it and called in the company's testers overnight to test the newly emerged Sophon Voice one by one. The test results made several leaders of the company almost unbelievable. own eyes:
Whether it is in terms of response speed or recognition rate, Sophon Voice surpasses iFlytek Voice in all aspects; and Sophon Voice's recognition of local dialects is far beyond the reach of iFlytek Voice. Its ultra-high recognition rate surpasses iFlytek's several tests. The technician was so frightened that his face turned pale and he shouted, "It's against the sky!"
Feeling that the problem was serious, the senior executives of iFlytek suddenly lost their sleepiness and held a meeting overnight to discuss countermeasures. The basic strategy that was finally discussed was to have comprehensive contact with Tomoko Hi-Tech and negotiate and cooperate with Tomoko Hi-Tech according to the three strategies of high, medium and low.
The highest strategy: reach a strategic partnership with Tomoko Hi-Tech, and then obtain the source code of Tomoko speech recognition engine!
Medium strategy: Acquire Tomoko Voice¡¯s voice engine at a high price!
If the first two don¡¯t work, then¡ª¡ª
The lowest strategy: Obtain the authorization from Tomoko Hi-Tech and let him agree to use his core speech recognition engine for yourself!
It is precisely based on the three strategies of "high, middle and low" formulated by the company's senior management overnight that a group represented by An Lan has emerged!
An Lan's words made Li Jingran slightly moved. From the first contact with An Lan, he had a certain degree of affection for Mr. An, who had gone through many hardships all the way from an ordinary technician to the top of the company, because An Lan, who had a technical background, had nothing to do with him. There are not many of the slickness and accidents that ordinary bosses have, and there is no such twists and turns. Although he doesn't talk much, his words give people the feeling of being more upright and outspoken.Go ahead and have the bold feeling that your actions will lead to results!
When iFlytek's senior management decided who to send to negotiate with the newly-emerged Sophon Hi-Tech, they were hesitant. In the end, considering that a company that can develop such an excellent voice engine must have great respect for technology and use technology as the basis. As a company that pursues core concepts, in order for both parties to have a common language and be able to talk together, in the end, iFlytek sent a negotiating team represented by An Lan, the company¡¯s vice president and technical director!
Since the other party did not make any detours with him, and he already knew the other party¡¯s bottom line, Li Jingran also felt that there was no need to waste the time of both parties, so he straightened his posture and said to An Lan quite seriously:
"Mr. An, let me tell you this, this is not a question of money. Our company is not short of money at the moment, so we will not consider selling speech engines at all. Moreover, Mr. An, you are also an expert in speech engines. , do you think that based on Tomoko¡¯s voice performance, it¡¯s only worth a mere 30 million?¡±
After finishing speaking, Li Jingran looked meaningfully at the middle-aged man in his forties opposite.
Li Jingran¡¯s previous words made An Lan¡¯s heart almost sink to the bottom, but the following words made him seem to see a glimmer of hope. So, An Lan seemed to be grasping the last straw to save his life and said eagerly:
"Ah, Mr. Li, from what you say, there is still hope of selling Tomoko Voice's voice engine?"
"Of course, everything has a price, and Tomoko Voice's speech engine is good, but it is no exception!" Li Jingran answered simply.
"Then, how much does Mr. Li think it will cost?" An Lan immediately asked.
"One hundred million pounds!" Li Jingran said expressionlessly.
Li Jingran¡¯s words caused a brief silence in the conference room. But after the silence, there was a burst of exclamations:
"Ah, one hundred million pounds, did I hear it correctly?"
"Ah, 100 million pounds? Then converted to more than a billion yuan, I'm afraid?"
"Ah, God¡ª¡ª"
"ah¡ª¡ª"
""
"Mr. Li, are you kidding?" An Lan, who had been stunned for a long time, swallowed the saliva in her mouth and could hardly believe her ears.
"Mr. An, do you think I'm joking?" Li Jingran smiled, and then changed to an extremely serious expression, "Yes, if your company is willing to spend 100 million pounds, I am willing to give you this The company¡¯s intelligent voice control platform is here for you!¡±
However, Li Jingran's words were like igniting gunpowder, completely making An Lan on the opposite side angry: "Mr. Li, are you kidding me? Or are you treating our iFlytek Technology as a fool? Your company's voice engine is indeed excellent, but It¡¯s not worth 100 million pounds! We sincerely want to cooperate with your company this time, instead of flying over to humiliate you, Mr. Li! Since Mr. Li is so insincere, then just treat us as blind Roll your eyes and say goodbye!"
After saying that, An Lan stood up extremely angrily, packed his things and prepared to leave; while the four colleagues who came with him next to him were still shocked by Li Jingran's sky-high asking price of "100 million pounds". In the blink of an eye, Suddenly, I saw the company's Vice President An "out of anger", so he also packed up his things, stood up, and looked at Li Jingran with an angry look of "same hatred and hatred".
An Lan's sudden "rage" was completely beyond Li Jingran's expectation, leaving him "speechless" on the spot. He was still thinking that if Vice President An's company opposite him, which he had a crush on, was really willing to spend one billion yuan to buy the so-called speech engine, then he would sell a castrated version of it with D-level intelligence as the core. What if the core anti-piracy and anti-cracking intelligent voice input control platform is given to him? At most, I will just not engage in the field of voice input method in the future, and I have a "start-up capital" of 100 million pounds, so why can't I do it? Whether it is online or physical, there are so many fields where intelligence can be used. Are you afraid of not making any money when you enter any one? Anyway, the voice input he is currently engaged in is still in the stage of burning money. When it will be profitable, even he himself is not very clear!
But I didn¡¯t expect that my good intentions and the determination I made after fierce struggle and suffering were regarded as a "joke and humiliation" by Vice President An!
"Am I so boring?" Li Jingran said innocently in his mind.
iFlytek's negotiators left the meeting angrily and wanted to leave. Li Jingran didn't want to stop him, so he just left. Anyway, he had no interest in so-called cooperation at the moment, whether it was with iFlytek or any other company. , leave early so that he can waste less time. However, it is a pity that iFlytek and his party came with full of hope, but returned with anger and thanks. After all, lifeWithout benevolence and righteousness, even if they can't cooperate, he is not willing to add "enemies" to himself!
And as soon as An Lan stood up after saying harsh words and venting his emotions, he felt a little regretful. He felt that he should not have been so rude just now and said his words so harshly that both parties could not get off the stage. He originally thought that the young man opposite him would come to comfort and save him after he got angry, even if it was hypocritical, but the young man didn't say anything, just looked at him with an incredible, even unreasonable look. Looking at himself, An Lan understood at this moment that there was absolutely no chance between the two parties.
He "fell out", but the other party didn't accept his disapproval. The final result was that An Lan felt that he had no shame in staying here anymore, and left Li Jingran's company in despair with four followers!
