Because the popularity brought by the Magic Star Engine has become the iconic business card of future technology, everyone does not understand what kind of cooperation Warwick will have with a game engine development company.

Purchasing servers from Warwick to build a data center is a normal development layout.

Perhaps the purpose of letting Ren Yuanwei go to Binjiang City in person is worth guessing, at least it will never be as simple as it seems.

For this reason, although many industry professionals have analyzed the fate and even inquired about the news through various channels, in the end, they have not gained any substantial results.

It seemed like just a normal business transaction.

However, there are still many people who do not believe in evil, and with the idea of ​​killing boring time and adding spices to their lives, they began to collect information related to the two companies on the entire Internet. Among them, the little baby of the Xu family on the Zhihu account who has published insider articles many times also It has become the target of questioning, and the number of messages left by netizens has shown a sharp increase.

"Big brother, please post another article and talk about the recent affairs between Warwick and Future Technology."

"I swear that my roommate has been single for ten years. This time, the chairman of Warwick suddenly went to Binjiang City to meet Mr. Xu. It will definitely not be that simple. Don't forget to give me a thumbs up when my prediction comes true."

"If the prediction is true, then you should first consider how to survive at the hands of your roommate."

"The previous articles published by this Zhihu account all involve internal information about Future Technology. I don't believe it if you are not an employee of the company. Now that you are suddenly pretending to be dead, it is even more problematic."

"It doesn't matter what kind of cooperation he has, as long as it is good for us."

"Stop spreading rumors here. Warwick's chairman loves talents. He probably just wants to meet that Xu Lei this time."

…

Regarding the situation of Yinglong EDA, since Warwick has not publicized it to the outside world for the time being, Xu Lei will be even more reluctant to break the news.

How could this Zhihu account registered by Xingtong publish new articles?

And at the same time.

Imperial capital.

Xiaomi mobile phone headquarters building.

In the chairman's office, Lei Jun was flipping through a paper document on the desktop. After a moment, he frowned slightly and raised his gaze to ask his subordinates standing in front of the desk.

"Why is there only this little information?"

"Director Lei, this is all the information that can be collected so far. I'm afraid it will take some time for other aspects." Wang Yang, vice president of the marketing department, replied truthfully.

After hearing this explanation, Lei Jun's face still looked solemn, but he did not punish him in any other way.

I just fell into deep thought and carefully judged the impact this matter might have on the company.

Warwick mobile phones cover almost all low-, mid-, and high-end markets and have always been a strong rival of Xiaomi mobile phones. The two sides have always been in a competitive relationship with each other.

Seeing that major manufacturers are now developing their own 5G mobile phones, there is absolutely no room for neglect.

But at this critical moment, Ren Yuanwei, who had always been at the headquarters, actually ran to Binjiang City, which forced him to pay more attention.

In the past, Binjiang City as a second-tier city would not have attracted his attention, let alone Ren Yuanwei going there in person, even if Warwick really laid out its plans there, it would be nothing.

But things are different now.

A future technology suddenly appeared in Binjiang City. The Magic Star Engine alone occupies the vast majority of the global game market share, and will bring tens of billions of dollars in revenue to the company every year in the future.

This is equivalent to Xiaomi’s annual revenue.

Although there seems to be no connection between the business scope of Future Technology and the mobile phone industry, the other party recently purchased servers from Warwick to build a data center and met in Binjiang City, which always gives people a feeling of worry.

For this reason, he specially sent someone to carefully investigate the situation to see if he could get any effective clues from it.

The result ended up being so disappointing.

As the office fell into silence, Wang Yang, who was still standing in front of his desk, hesitated for a while and finally made up his mind to speak on his own initiative: "Director Lei, I think the matter may not be as serious as we thought. Maybe in the future technology and Warwick There is only pure server buying and selling cooperation.”

"Chairman Ren of Warwick went to Binjiang City personally just to make good friends with Future Technology."

"After all, future technology has such great development prospects, and Ren Yuanwei's character will definitely make contact."

Lei Jun listened to everything Wang Yang said, and his brows relaxed a lot.

"What you said does make some sense." He stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window next to him and said: "However, Future Technology has advanced research in the field of artificial intelligence. If this technology is authorized to be used in the smart voice of Warwick mobile phones, I am afraid that It will be a big selling point.”

"Our advantage will then be smaller."

Both Pingguo, Warwick and Xiaomi now have smart voice functionality in their mobile phones.

Although this thing is essentially different from artificial intelligence and does not have a very powerful effect, at least it is very high-end for ordinary users and is a core selling point of mobile phones.

In this regard, Xiaomi’s smart voice Xiaoai is more well-known.

But if Warwick uses artificial intelligence technology from the future, I am afraid that this advantage of Xiaomi will disappear in an instant.

By then, it will be even more difficult to compete with Huawei for the 5G mobile phone market.

"Director Lei, how about we get in touch with Future Technology to see if we can get authorization for their artificial intelligence technology?" Faced with Lei Jun's worries, Wang Yang asked again tentatively.

But Lei Jun shook his head.

"no."

"Our classmate Xiao Ai has managed to accumulate so many loyal users. Replacing him at this time will only put us at a further disadvantage."

The words just fell.

Lei Jun may have made some decision, and immediately turned around and said in a deep voice: "Inform the technology department and ask them to focus all their work on the R\u0026D upgrade of Xiao Ai. This time we must Let our market share increase significantly compared with last year.”

"I understand, Director Lei." Wang Yang nodded solemnly, then turned around and exited the office.

——

The end of the month is coming soon, and there are only a few days left before the Spring Festival.

Because the company basically didn't go back to celebrate the New Year last year in order to complete the Magic Star Engine, so this time Xu Lei received his year-end bonus in advance and took a holiday.

As for him, he naturally wants to go home and reunite with his parents.

Although his parents went to Hainan to travel to Hainan last time for the New Year, as the only son in the family, he would definitely have to go back the next year no matter what.

However, it is worth mentioning that because Cheng Fei had to follow Xu Lei at all times no matter what, Xu Lei finally had no choice but to let him return to the small county town of his hometown with him and opened a room in a hotel near his home.
