Chapter 754: I want it
Li Yanwu wouldn't go so far as to break up with Chen Wei because of this, but this incident also aroused some of Li Yanwu's vigilance.
For more than a year, the Li Group had never given up on their program, and from the initial single method, it had now developed to infiltrating the people around the team.
He and Chen Wei had only been together for three or four months.
This Li Group not only had many methods, but their reach was also long enough!
"I'm going to the studio. You go back to school first."
"Ah? Didn't you say you were going to accompany me to get a manicure!"
"Another day."
Li Yanwu raised his hand to hail a taxi. With things on his mind, he couldn't care about Chen Wei anymore. He got in the car and left.
When Shen Ci received the call from the studio, she was still in the dormitory admiring herself in the mirror.
"What's the matter? Is it urgent?"
Shen Ci asked with the speakerphone on.
Usually, Senior Tianrui rarely contacted her, and when he did, it was usually only in two situations.
One was that the project had made a breakthrough or phased progress.
The second was that he needed money.
Today, it was rare for him to say that he needed her to go over for something.
"It can't be considered urgent, but if you have time, Junior, come over. It's better to talk about this in person."
Shen Ci didn't ask much. She more or less understood Luo Tianrui's personality. He would absolutely not bother her if he could avoid it. It was probably something real.
So she hung up the phone, made an appointment with Pili and Lianxing to meet directly at the bar in the evening, and went out directly.
When she arrived at the studio, the employees' state was all normal.
"Miss Shen, President Luo and the others are in the reception room."
Shen Ci nodded, walked to the door of the reception room, and looked inside through the glass, just in time to see several seniors laughing and joking.
The atmosphere seemed good, and Shen Ci breathed a sigh of relief; it shouldn't be anything bad.
Pushing the door and entering, everyone stood up one after another when they saw Shen Ci coming. "Junior."
Shen Ci had a smile on her face and asked everyone, "What's the matter? You had to call me over."
Luo Tianrui looked at Li Yanwu. "Yanwu, you tell Aci."
Shen Ci looked at Li Yanwu in surprise, only to see that he was a little embarrassed, but still spoke up, telling the story of meeting Li Xiao today.
He didn't cover for Chen Wei either, because the most critical and serious part of the whole thing was Chen Wei. He told others about this incident also to remind everyone.
"Junior, Chen Wei was just smashed dizzy by a pie that fell from the sky. I have already scolded her. But in the final analysis, this method of the Li Group is really disgusting. It's a pity they could think of it."
Shen Ci was not angry after hearing Li Yanwu's words, but shook her head amusingly. "Although this method is disgusting, I have to say it is quite tempting."
"Today, Senior Yanwu, your will was firm. If it were someone else, plus a girlfriend pushing from the side, they might have really been tempted."
Once these words were spoken, the other people in the studio looked at each other.
Ge Youcai stared and said, "Where is there anyone else? Let me see who dares to be someone else!"
Luo Tianrui curled his lips. "I don't have a girlfriend."
Senior Paipai also said, "Whoever really can't withstand the temptation and goes to the Li Group is the greatest betrayal to our studio and Junior, and will not have a good end."
Others also echoed, saying that if it were them, they would definitely not waver.
"So, except for Senior Yanwu, have you others had any contact with people from the Li Group?" Shen Ci asked.
Everyone shook their heads in unison. "No."
Li Yanwu said, "It may be because Chen Wei and Li Xiao knew each other before, and it was more convenient for him to find me, so he came to me. I guess he didn't expect that I would not give him face like this."
Shen Ci nodded in understanding. In order to get their technology, the Li Group didn't hesitate to think of the method of poaching internally. Although this move was damaging, it was a common method in the business world.
"They must be really anxious."
Luo Tianrui suddenly looked at Shen Ci and said, "I heard before that the Li Group is in contact with a technical company in Europe. The other party is not providing a patch program like ours, but a full set of terminal technology. It is not cheap to want to get the right to use it, at least much, much more expensive than our program."
"Now that they are using such underhanded tricks on us, I guess it's because they didn't negotiate with the company in Europe, and they have put their attention back on us."
This was the first time Shen Ci had heard of this. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. "There's such a thing? The Li Group has been consuming with us for more than a year, and now the 2.0 program is almost finished. If they can't crack our seamless egg, they might really cooperate with the company in Europe."
Speaking of this, Shen Ci couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior, I don't understand the professional side, but I just want to know if the terminal technology of this European company is more powerful than ours?"
Luo Tianrui nodded without denying. "It is definitely much more powerful than the 1.0 program on the market now, but it's expensive. Domestic companies buy our right to use it for only a few hundred yuan a year, but to buy the other party's full set of technology, I'm afraid a few thousand yuan a year won't be enough, and it has to be in pounds."
Foreigners will not be polite to Chinese enterprises; if you want it, you have to spend a lot of money!
Ge Youcai reminded at the right time, "The Li Group is not short of money, it's just that our program is more cost-effective and has a greater temptation for them."
Shen Ci said, "But when people are at the end of their rope, I'm afraid they can only choose that one path."
Everyone nodded gently. Luo Tianrui had already assumed in his heart what changes would happen to the domestic artificial intelligence market after the Li Group used Europe's more high-end technology.
Not only him, but Shen Ci was also thinking, "No, if they really don't hesitate to get the technology from Europe at a high price, then the Li Group's products will achieve a great leap in performance, and even far lead other brands. Then the advantage of our program will no longer exist."
"With the quotation of European technology, if they really buy it and use it, I'm afraid they won't be able to earn back the cost, right?" Ge Youcai analyzed. "As far as I know, the Li Group's current artificial intelligence products are mostly daily types, such as sweeping robots, smart homes, etc. It takes tens of thousands of pure profit a year to offset the cost of foreign technology, and there are other costs that haven't been calculated. No matter how you calculate it, they are going to lose money!"
Ge Youcai's words were not false, because in the current domestic artificial intelligence market, the demand for home appliances is the greatest, so some enterprises started from the home appliance category at the beginning.
For more than a year, the Li Group has been held back by the studio's program optimization, and artificial intelligence has stagnated, failing to get further development, so what they produce now is still those things.
And just at this moment, Shen Ci, who had been thinking for a long time, finally raised her head and looked at Luo Tianrui. "Senior, contact the European technology company as soon as possible. This technology cannot fall into the hands of the Li Group. I want it!" ===== CHAPTER 755 =====
