Collaboration terms?

Hu Yifei smiled at this question.

About the issue of "Tianxuan Intelligent Selection" external cooperation, Gao Yuan had already disclosed the detailed plan to him very early, so he already had a draft in his mind.

"There are no additional conditions for introducing this system, regardless of the type of car, each vehicle only requires an initial installation fee of 20,000.

As for the subsequent software update and maintenance fees, we plan to adopt a subscription model, with a monthly fee of 19.9 per vehicle."

"What?"

Hearing this condition, the three of them were dumbfounded.

It wasn't that the terms were too high, but rather that they were absurdly low.

"President Hu, you're not talking about US Dollars, are you?"

"Of course, it's RMB."

Confusion flashed across their eyes.

It should be known that currently, Tesla's FSD (Full Self-Driving) single optional price is as high as 5000 US Dollars, which is more than 30,000 RMB.

Even if this "Tianxuan Intelligent Selection" has not reached the hyped L4, even if it's just at the same level as Tesla's current level, with little difference, they are willing to pay the same procurement fee.

After all, even if you want to buy it, a company like Tesla wouldn't sell it, since it's an exclusive monopoly technology, their competitive moat.

Moreover, just Bajie's account is already being speculated at several tens of thousands in the market, well... the kind that comes with a car.

This way, they're practically making a bloody profit!

As for the so-called "user subscription model," it's quite novel in the automotive circle.

Paying monthly like a telephone card subscription, surely many users would not be used to it at first, but for users who can afford a car, a monthly fee of 19.9... it's practically no different from free...

At such a low price, if they set it at 39.9, users would probably still accept it. Wouldn't they be able to earn a buck from it?

"President Hu, are you sure there are no other additional conditions?"

They were a bit incredulous.

"Of course, I'm sure!" Hu Yifei said with a smile.

With their technical advantage, they could charge high prices to reap profits if they wanted.

But compared to short-term profits, Gao Yuan values long-term strategy more, and has even formulated a comprehensive plan that could disrupt the new energy market.

As long as Tianxuan Intelligent Selection can quickly seize the market, the subsequent platform ecosystem and supporting benefits are a cash cow...

And to quickly capture the market in a short time and achieve the effect of gold buying bones, they need to adopt a thin profit, high sales strategy!

With terms so favorable, the three of them had second thoughts.

"Um... President Hu, can we see the compatibility of this 'Tianxuan Intelligent Selection' with our respective models before making a decision?"

"Certainly! As long as you can provide the hardware parameters of your new models, we can quickly customize an improved system for you."

"The effect really can reach L4?"

Hu Yifei laughed instantly, what are you thinking?

"Of course not!"

He spread his hands and said with a smile, "Our L4 solution requires a coordinated integration of software and hardware, including communication modules and various radar designs, and even specially designed vehicle bodies for a perfect autonomous driving experience.

Unless you can modify the design according to our plan, based on your current model styles, it might only be somewhat better than Tesla's Mao Dou Series."

"Uh..."

Only somewhat? Better by a notch?

They're all pure vision routes, it seems you look down on the current self-driving leader?

The three exchanged looks, unable to refuse under such favorable conditions.

Moreover, joining "Tianxuan Intelligent Selection" was their main goal for this trip after all.

Thus, the three immediately engaged in in-depth talks with Hu Yifei about specific cooperation details.

Model compatibility, software optimization, performance testing, technical training...

They only left Baiyeji Building with a satisfactory intention contract when the sun was setting.

"I didn't expect the negotiation to go so smoothly this time."

"Yeah, I didn't anticipate such a huge gain before coming!"

"Still too young, haha..."

All three exchanged looks, seeing the joy in each other's eyes.

They are a start-up, not a deep-pocketed, established giant, the money they can burn is ultimately limited.

Hence, the predicament they face is not much different from Mr. Bao's back in the day, no matter how well packaged, they're still a "trade, industry, and tech" company.

Talking concepts, emphasizing promotion, and ignoring technology.

For the particularly burning autonomous driving technology, self-research is impossible.

Just look at one of the BAT giants, Baidu, how it got dragged to the back of the line by this project, and until now there's hardly any disruption, it shows how much of a trap this thing is.

Just a "high-precision map" led Baidu around countless detours.

In contrast, Tesla's "sensation-heavy, map-light" vision solution immediately left them in the dust...

With their financial prowess, saying complete self-research is nothing but self-flattery.

But it doesn't stop them from poaching people, building teams, and telling technological stories.

They've been doing it this way all along.

After all, whether Baiyeji's autonomous driving technology is L3 or L4, they don't really care, nor do they have high hopes that their models equipped with the options would truly rival Tesla's Mao Dou Series.

What truly matters to them is... their models will become the second batch of new energy vehicles bundled with "Bajie" following Idol!

Selling their souls, so what? Their most urgent need now is to increase sales, increase fame!

No matter if this self-driving system is as miraculous as claimed, as long as they can hitch a ride with "Bajie," their purposes are fulfilled.

In a few days when the announcement is made and the media promotes it, with the buzz heating up, they can make at least 30% more money when listed across the ocean!

That's more than tens of billions of huge cash flow!

How many years of tireless hard work does it take to earn billions just by manufacturing cars?

Do you think today's entrepreneurs care about whether their cars sell well?

Wrong! What really matters is how well the story is told!

The reason why the three value "Bajie" so much is not without reason...

...

How popular is "Bajie" right now?

After continuous dissemination and fermentation, on several mainstream Western social media platforms these days, among the top ten trending short videos related to Bajie, there are three or four.

This AI, whose name is extremely tongue-twisting to foreigners, has become popular all over the world in just over a month.

"Oh my god! This AI can actually understand my emotions and provide me with perfect suggestions. It's simply more impressive than humans!"

"It can automatically generate images, answer questions, and even talk to me fluently. These are things only humans could accomplish!"

"I'm utterly amazed! It found the information I needed accurately even without clear hints from me. What a miraculous technology!"

"I was a C-student, but recently all my professor's grades for my assignments are A+. Don't ask me how I did it, I can only tell you I bought a car..."

"Today at the bar, I shared yesterday's World Cup group match with my Italian friend, during which one of his Romanian friends condemned the home referee's biased actions but was protested by a Slav on-site. In the chaos, a group of Spaniards warmly greeted the two's relatives, and finally, that French boss called in a British policeman...

Known fact: I am German. Question: How many translators are needed on-site?

Can you believe it, my friend, the answer is zero! Zero!!"

"Friend upstairs, can I hire your 'Bajie'? There's an eight-nation congress tomorrow, no need for the person to come, salary paid daily."

"Translators around the world are on high alert..."

"Is the company called Baiyeji really from Country Hua? It's hard to imagine their AI level is already at the forefront of the world. I always thought they were bragging?"

"Look at Silicon Valley and the major labs and you'll know, the actual technology of this world is now controlled by the yellow races..."

"I don't care about anything else, I just want to know this 'Bajie'... oh no, when will this car be available in America?"

"Is there a friend in Europa who can procure a car and mail it over? I'm offering a high price!"

"Technology knows no borders, I strongly demand Baiyeji opens account registration!"

"..."

The highly intelligent communication experience, rapid and precise translation capabilities, coupled with somewhat outlandish "hunger marketing", makes Bajie One hard to come by.

Most people can only wait eagerly, while a rare few who manage to purchase the car are busy with various extreme tests and filming videos to increase followers, satisfying their desire to show off and vanity.

But only people within Wanwu Holding Group know the true way to unlock "Bajie"...

The subsidiaries are beginning to transform towards flattened management and vertical business models thanks to extreme informatization and intelligence.

Lingjing Media's collaboration regarding AIGC image synthesis technology and "Pegasus" is in full swing.

Even the biotech laboratories within Changqing Biological are experiencing a technological revolution...

"Can you confirm the accuracy of this comparison result?"

Professor Zheng held a diagram of the double helix structure, his face full of astonishment.

"We've cross-checked it a dozen times and finally confirmed, the prediction model matches the experimental protein structure completely! Professor, it really achieved it!"

The young assistant was also extremely excited.

Is AI's role to chat with people?

Act as a translator?

Or is it to do people's homework?

Ordinary people may only see the impact of AI on jobs and positions, witnessing its tremendous influence on changing lives.

But they've yet to see its deeper meaning capable of altering the progress of human civilization...

In Professor Zheng's hands is a protein structure prediction assistant tool based on artificial intelligence. It can predict the three-dimensional structure of proteins with unprecedented accuracy by using only amino acid sequences.

Theoretically, it can predict the structure of all known proteins on Earth!

Initially, Professor Zheng did not believe it.

But in just two days after going online, it successfully predicted tens of thousands of models, including 12 that are brand new protein structures never recorded worldwide...

Proteins are the expression of genetic materials, the origin of various characteristics of organisms, and the cornerstone of biology!

Previously, determining the three-dimensional structure of a protein required a research team to work on it for months or even years.

And now... it only takes a few seconds!

Once the problem from zero to one is resolved, from one to a hundred will have no difficulty!

He can almost foresee that with the help of this system, new protein structures will keep increasing.

Soon, their database will be filled with millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of protein structures.

Biologists no longer need to spend massive energy, struggling to explore a new protein structure.

This is like turning a closed-book exam into an open-book exam, and the difficulty of research in related fields will decrease geometrically!

The elementary application of artificial intelligence already renders Professor Zheng, a lifelong geneticist, utterly dumbfounded.

It might just be a string of code, but what it ultimately illuminates is the entire protein universe...

And this is merely just the tip of the iceberg of AI's assistance in biological research.

Drug chemical structure research, medical imaging recognition, medical data analysis, auxiliary diagnosis, AI doctors...

Professor Zheng was deeply shocked.

At this moment, he profoundly feels the company's extraordinariness.

While mainstream businesses worldwide are still chanting "Internet+", his own company is already sprinting wildly on the path of fully embracing "AI+"...
