In 2004, He Peng and Liang Jie founded UC. When they were looking for investment, they met Yu Yongfu, who was still in charge of investment at the time.

The investment was rejected by the fantasy company, but Yu Yongfu was obsessed with it and found his old friend Lei Jun to help.

As a fellow villager in Xiangbei, Lei Jun took a look at the uc project at first sight and agreed to invest, but there was a condition that Yu Yongfu had to join in.

So Yu Yongfu joined uc in 2006, and then joined forces with He Peng and Liang Jie to build uc into Huaguo's largest mobile Internet browser, until today.

Needless to say, the relationship between Li Rui and Lei Jun, I’m a good guy!

He Peng met at a meeting with entrepreneurs in northern Hunan during the Spring Festival. He was both a fellow villager and Lei Jun. It would be fine to invite Robin to have a cup of coffee.

Li Rui's match with Robin was definitely not for giving back, but for having plans.

He hopes that Qiandu will acquire uc instead of 91, because he wants to make more money.

Judging from the current situation, Ali and Qiandu are eager to get the mobile Internet entrance, so it is imperative to acquire it. The only difference is which one to acquire.

At present, the largest entrances in the mobile Internet market are just a few: Credit Suisse, VSign, cu, 91, mobile phone chuck...

Credit Suisse is from Xingrui, VSign and mobile phone are from Penguin, Ali and Qiandu will definitely not be able to win, the best choices left are uc and 91.

Even with the size of Ali and Qiandu, it is too difficult to swallow these two families in one bite. The best way is to get one each.

In the previous life, the two companies first bid for 91, and finally won by Qiandu taking out 1.9 billion magnesium yuan in cash.

This acquisition was a big deal at the time, setting a record for the acquisition of Xiaguo Internet, but it was quickly broken by Ali.

Ah Li, who lost 91, aimed at cu and acquired cu in two installments, spending 7 billion yuan and some stocks.

At that time, the price of Ali's acquisition of cu was similar to the price offered to 91, but in the later period, due to the premium of Ali's stock, the final value of the entire acquisition reached 5 billion magnesium!

As the major shareholder of 91, Li Rui can get more than 30 cents for every extra dollar sold in 91. Since this investment can no longer be retained, Li Rui’s idea is to sell more, the better.

Only 1.9 billion magnesium dollars of 1,900, pass.

Ah Li, who can take out more than 5 billion magnesium, please come in there!

Of course, Li Rui was not entirely considering his own interests, and he also wanted to do an experiment.

Li Rui always felt that Qiandu acquired 91 mobile assistant instead of uc in his previous life, and he made a mistake in making a move.

Qiandu only saw the prosperous 91, but ignored the laws of development of things.

When the mobile Internet was just emerging, app stores, as a tool with a mission of popularization, did play a role in communication, education and promotion. However, as users continue to mature, they tend to use national-level software they are familiar with. The exploration of new things comes more from word-of-mouth recommendations rather than searching in app stores, which leads to the disappearance of the dividends of app stores as traffic entrances.

In the later period, with the rise of social networks and the emergence of social marketing, the entrance to the mobile Internet gradually became fragmented, and it was no longer possible to have a situation like the dominant ones in the PC era. Without the function of the entrance, 91 Assistant is like a piece of idiot for Qiandu. It is tasteless to eat, but it is a pity to throw it away. It has no important role in Qiandu's overall strategy.

Moreover, compared with the uc acquired by Ali, it still has a place ten years later, and has become the main battlefield for many netizens to find source films when reading novels. With the emergence of major mobile phone manufacturers' own application stores and the gradually accepted Apple store model, 91 Assistant has long become silent. Few people still remember its existence...

In other words, the 1.9 billion magnesium dollar of Qiande was wasted.

If Qiandu acquired uc instead of 91 in this life, what different changes would it have occurred to the Xiaguo Internet industry?

So whether it is for the benefit of Li Rui or for Qiandu, Robin, Robin, don’t stare at 91, go and have a look at uc. That girl is naturally charming, cute and cute, and the people who are asking for marriage have almost cut off the threshold of her house. If she doesn’t take action, it will be too late!

Robin listened to his advice, and uc was indeed more in line with Qiandu's requirements for traffic entrances than 91, so he set a time with Li Rui at the moment.

After talking about the main business, both of them gained something. Robin relaxed a lot and his conversation became more relaxed.

Robin said enthusiastically: "I think your view on future technology is highly consistent with me in many places. Chatting with you is particularly interesting. It is easier to chat with Ponney and Jack, and you can learn a lot!" ωωw..net

Li Rui smiled and said, "I've seen Jack, but I haven't seen Ponny."

Robin laughed and said, "Don't see Ponny, he hates you so much that he is tickle. By the way, what do you think of Jack?"

"He is a philosopher." Li Rui replied sly.

Robin smiled even happier: "Yes, he is an absolute philosopher who likes to say something that is incomprehensible to people!"

Jack and Robin are completely opposites.

Jack was a metaphysical philosopher, and he talked about mysterious principles. He was suitable for going to the Wei and Jin dynasties, sitting in the bamboo forest with open clothes and tugging at the calf.

Robin is a practical practitioner who focuses on practical interests. He is proficient in technology and pursues practical results. The Qin Dynasty, which was under Shang Yang's reform, should have more room to play.

Two people who are so in a completely different way will definitely not be able to pee in a pot, so it is no wonder that Robin and Li Rui complain about Jack together.

Having a common complaint makes the office full of an active and pleasant atmosphere.

Li Rui remembered the artificial intelligence mentioned by Robin last time, and asked casually: "Has Qiandu invested in any artificial intelligence project recently?"

Robin said in surprise: "Are you interested in artificial intelligence too? I mentioned it last time, and you didn't respond much, and I thought you weren't interested."

Li Rui thought to himself, it’s not that I’m not interested, but that I don’t want to join the game too early.

Robin said enthusiastically: "If you want to talk about the biggest news in the artificial intelligence circle recently, it is that challenge."

"What challenge?" Li Rui didn't understand at all.

Robin explained: "It is a competition to identify images using deep learning technology. This year, Jeffrey Hinton of the University of Toronto and two of his students developed a deep neural network that is interesting. It can reduce the error rate of image classification in half. At this development rate, it may take less than ten years to apply artificial intelligence to all aspects of life. Qiandu is very interested in this project."

Li Rui really doesn't know what is, nor what is, but he knows deep neural networks and Jeffrey Hinton.

When he was a child, Li Rui watched the news of the battle between Deep Blue Computer and Chess King. That was the first time he knew what artificial intelligence was.

In a few years, Google will launch an alphago that sweeps all kinds of experts in the Go project that mankind is most proud of and completely changes the rules of the game!

In another ten years, openai, chatgpt, stablediffusion... these names will completely subvert human life.

Qiandu is one of the earliest Internet companies in Li Rui's memory to embrace artificial intelligence in his previous life. This vision is indeed amazing, that is... the luck and development are not very good.
