My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!

Chapter 498 Solving the Problem at Its Root_2


"Hmm! Have them hurry up. I always feel that behind each product of the Demon Hunter, there seems to be some unusual significance..." Mr. Hu mused thoughtfully.

Intelligent AI, autonomous driving, data centers, Tianshu ERP...

Everyone knows these things are absolutely the future of humanity, but if ordinary companies were to do these, Mr. Hu wouldn't even give them a glance, because there's nothing worthwhile in the domestic market.

But Baiyeji is different; once they make a move, they cause a stir, each one is astonishing...

After reviewing the report on the two pilot projects, he was even more convinced that this seemingly inconspicuous ERP might well be as groundbreaking as the Space-Based Missile Defense System or autonomous driving...

In the new era, companies need a highly efficient ERP to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Yet government systems need it even more!

When it comes to management costs, government institutions in every country are practically the pinnacle of the industry!

The academic elite is just the tip of the iceberg.

As a staunch reformist, Mr. Hu understands the capital oligarchy, bureaucratic elite, and even military elite...

This represents the class solidification issue every country faces.

Class solidification means the decline of social vitality, the intensification of social conflicts, the stagnation of social development, and the rapid increase in social management costs...

The various "elites" not only control power, property, and upward mobility, but also crucial "information!"

"Information disparity," or in other words, lack of information transparency, is the most important means to maintain the various statuses of these elites and the fundamental reason why national governance costs only ever increase.

Can income and expenditure be made public? Can bids be announced? Are audits falsified?

Throughout history, those able to break the information disparity have always been heroes of the people, including Marx's revelation of the exploitative nature of capitalism.

And the suddenly emerged "Tianshu" seems to be a highly efficient, practical "digital management system."

Everyone knows that intensification and informatization are important ways to solve the increasingly bloated management institutions.

When everything can be digitalized.

The result is a more transparent and open social management system...

Coupled with that Demon Hunter's "unfortunate encounter," Mr. Hu even has reason to believe that this is very likely a retaliatory effort to "solve problems at the root..."

As for its effect...

After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Hu instructed.

"Forget it, make some arrangements. I will personally go there to take a look in a couple of days."

"Yes!"

The female officer nodded and then glanced at Mr. Bao and others celebrating below.

"By the way, Mr. Hu, regarding the situation here, do we need to temporarily block the information?"

"Block the information?" Mr. Hu shook his head.

"How many people are there in this testing center? After so many days, can it be blocked?

I fear the information has already leaked out..."

...

Just as Mr. Hu predicted.

Despite the testing center being closed, with so many people, such a matter could never be completely airtight.

The first to receive the information were several prominent families in Beijing who immediately notified interested parties, and then the information quietly spread internally among several car companies via social circles...

At first, the executives naturally didn't believe it.

Oh my, currently only Tesla barely touches on L3 level, and you tell me L4 is out?

You must know that the currently known national requirements for L4 level autonomous driving include comprehensive testing scenarios, dynamic traffic testing, emergency response testing, high-precision mapping testing, safety testing, stability testing, and over hundreds of specific testing projects.

These tests cover all aspects of the performance of autonomous driving systems, ensuring they can operate normally in real road environments and under various complex conditions.

These requirements, just by looking at them on a PPT, make the executives feel suffocated, and now you're telling me you've completed them?

This isn't just leading by a margin; this is a generational leap!

Who would believe this?

BYD still expressed disdain, Baidu commented that the younger generation is too impulsive, and Hua Wei speculated about the situation at Baiyeji...

As for the three new forces of Wei Xiaoli, their attitude was rather jaw-dropping.

The trio came together to Baiyeji headquarters, seeking collaboration...

"Uh... Do the three of you truly intend to introduce our 'Tianxuan Intelligent Selection'?"

Ai Dou New Energy's Intelligent Selection system has been validated by the market for a period, earning quite a reputation.

If it's gold, it will shine, and sooner or later someone will come knocking for technical collaboration.

Hu Yifei just didn't expect that the first to arrive would be these three.

In the new energy arena, these three companies can be said to be the second tier, barely below BYD.

Of course, it's not that they had any technical highlights, mainly their capital dared to burn money...

"To be honest, ever since Ai Dou's new car launch event, we've been very interested in your company's autonomous driving solution and have long wanted to come over and exchange technology."

"Indeed, we initially wanted Mr. Bao to act as a liaison, then visit together, but it turns out Mr. Bao has been on a business trip in Beijing, and hasn't returned for a long time.

Unexpectedly, your company made big news in Beijing..."

"Yes, President Hu, you never make a move, but when you do, it's astonishing!"

Though verbally courteous, their attitude regarding the L4 level driving system was naturally skeptical.

However, whether it's L4 or L3, the fact that the other side dared to launch such a big satellite clearly indicates a breakthrough in autonomous driving technology, which is undoubtedly true.

The three who originally had collaboration intentions came this time both to discuss cooperation and to gauge the stance of Baiyeji.

"Haha! Didn't expect you three to be so well-informed, I just received the message from Beijing myself."

Hu Yifei, elated for the good news, replied with a smiling greeting.

Seeing that the other party didn't deny, the trio simultaneously revealed a hint of surprise.

"President Hu, your 'Tianxuan Intelligent Selection,' has truly reached the L4 level?"

"Haha! Well... By the time of the press conference, there will naturally be detailed presentations.

I'm not a technical person either, can't say for sure on many detailed matters."

Asked if it has, who cares if you can say or not!

Realizing Hu Yifei was unwilling to reveal more, they glanced at each other.

"President Hu, we're all peers, so let's not hold back on some things.

Competition in the new energy domain is so fierce, with BYD leading ahead and traditional brands like BBA following, even Hua Wei is eager.

I think we, the emerging car manufacturing forces, should unite and exchange advantages.

Only by integrating our strengths can we better survive the future, don't you think?"

Hu Yifei nodded in agreement.

"Exactly! I've always believed this, which is why I chose Mr. Bao for collaboration first, and it proved hugely successful!"

The implication is, you see, Ai Dou New Energy set a precedent; using our Tianxuan Intelligent Selection... there's definitely profit to be made!

The trio naturally saw Ai Dou New Energy's astonishing comeback performance.

This is also the reason they came for cooperation negotiation.

But...

Ai Dou couldn't be counted as collaboration; it was essentially a direct acquisition...

"President Hu, if it were us, what conditions would there be for introducing this system?"

They worried the collaborative conditions might include unreasonable demands like "tech for equity" swaps.

They wanted Baiyeji's technology but didn't want to be entirely consumed like Ai Dou.

Of course, if the other side asks for little, becoming a non-controlling core shareholder, they might consider such terms.

Originally suppliers integrators, outsourcing the vehicle "soul" car machine and autonomous driving to the technological leader Baiyeji carried no psychological burden for them.

In fact, as of 2018 at this time, Wei Xiaoli were still losing money annually, still in the nascent startup phase.

Facing Baiyeji, which showed potential as a technology unicorn, their collaboration attitude was humbly set.

Unlike traditional top car companies like BBA.

With both funds and heritage, announcing a sale of "soul" might implicitly admit their shortcomings?

How would a high-end brand's reputation be maintained?

Certainly, the reason these three are so eager for Baiyeji's cooperation is also due to another reason.

Preparing for the upcoming IPO across the ocean...

For a "concept car company," the buzz and valuation practically equate.

Rather than seeing them attracted purely by the somewhat exaggerated marketing of "autonomous driving," it might be more accurate to say they're drawn to the "Bajie" within the Intelligent Selection package...
