The autobiography I wrote cannot be a tragedy

Magic City, digital exhibition center.

"President Hu, hello, hello!"

"I have admired you for a long time!"

"Nice to meet you!"

"Sora you seven!"

"Peace and peace!"

Hu Yifei greeted industry elites from all walks of life with a reserved but polite smile.

Among them are industry leaders who often appear in well-known IT media, as well as digital industry leaders from well-known major companies.

There is a blond European uncle and a respectful East Asian man in a suit.

There are people from all walks of life, some come to find out, some come to become familiar with each other, and some come to discuss possible cooperation...

As the number one ranked team in this qualifying round, they also entered the finals with a complete victory record and a 5:0 lead over the second place team.

Cretaceous Company's "Star Formation" has undoubtedly become the most eye-catching presence in this competition!

Countless people want to know how this little-known company can stand out on the Go AI track where big manufacturers gather, and even make several seed players lose completely.

The competition seat where Hu Yifei's team was located became the focus of the audience.

Industry bosses who were worth hundreds of millions and could only look up to in the past handed over their business cards to him with enthusiasm.

Several cameras were almost glaring at the Cretaceous team for close-ups.

All this made Hu Yifei feel like he was in a dream.

"As soon as I fly, my face is frozen with laughter. Relax."

Her boyfriend's highlight moment was naturally accompanied by big waves, and she asked Hu Yifei to adjust his mood in a funny way.

"It's not like you've never seen a big scene before..."

"Alas! The person who just handed me his business card is Mr. Xie, Vice President of Alibaba Mama's Strategic Investment Department, one of the Eighteen Arhats next to Mr. Ma.

And the previous Mr. Wang was the chief technology officer of Baidu...

You don’t know the status of these people in front of you. If you throw a stone casually, the people you hit will probably be the famous figures on the cover of magazines..."

"Huh? Is it so exaggerated?"

Hu Yifei smiled bitterly.

The companies that make Go AI may not be well-known, but they are basically inextricably linked with those IT industry giants.

These days, most of those who have the funds and ambition to take a share of the AI ​​​​track have strong capabilities and extraordinary backgrounds.

Without a few big capital investors such as BAT, "Lanshan", "Gaoling" and "Soft Win" to join in, you would be embarrassed to call yourself a high-tech startup company.

In addition to the affiliated companies of the participants, as an important track in the field of AI, this global Go AI competition will also attract the attention of various IT giants, intelligent industries and investors.

Therefore, in addition to the participating teams, there were also many capital representatives from home and abroad who came to sniff out business opportunities.

To be honest, even if he had expectations, Hu Yifei did not expect that what he exchanged for a mere 25% of the shares... would be such a "lonely loser".

Not only did they make it to the finals, but they also left all their opponents behind with an unmatchable gap...

The moment he saw the results of the qualifying round, Hu Yifei was confused.

Based on these results, let alone the finals, if nothing else goes wrong, it is very likely that the "Star Formation" will win today's championship.

In a team supported by giants and capital, they actually became the most handsome boys on the street...

Normally, a start-up company like Cretaceous would be the best competitor in the finals.

Even so, as long as it shows its face on the list, a lot of venture capital will be willing to spend money to speculate, and doubling the company's valuation will not be a problem.

"Yi Xiaotian" and "Qi Elf" who were also shortlisted this time belong to this kind of lucky ones.

This is still the treatment for accompanying runners. In a situation like the Cretaceous that created a technological generation gap... it’s hard to say how many times it would be doubled...

"Mr. Hu! Hello!"

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses, a suit and leather shoes came over.

"I am the person in charge of Penguin AI lab and a representative of Jueyi. My surname is Liu."

Director Liu forced out a smile and reached out his hand.

"Uh...Mr. Liu, hello, hello, I have long admired your name!" Hu Yifei quickly stretched out his hand.

Although he was a defeated general, he naturally did not dare to neglect his status.

"Mr. Hu is so young and has led such an excellent team to create such an excellent product as 'Star Array'. It is really amazing!"

Director Liu said with emotion.

Although he almost had high blood pressure due to the trash talk, the more he learned about it, the more he found that he lost his temper towards this product...

No matter how they adjust the model and make targeted changes, the trash talk is always there and never absent!

After N attempts, his unique skill is still a disappointing zero win.

Director Liu and his team finally had to admit that the lead of "Star Formation" was not accidental, but a comprehensive technological crush...

In terms of algorithms and models, "Xingzheng" is at least several versions ahead of "Fine Art".

The technical gap between the two parties is at least 3 years.

And even if they are given another five years, they may not be able to develop a Go AI of the same level.

What is embarrassing is that the 5:0 record of both sides in the qualifying matches was quickly posted online, which added some traffic to the topic of "Star Formation".

The topic of "Exquisite Art" has also become popular, and the traffic has also reached, but the effect is completely opposite to what Director Liu expected.

The reputation of "Star Array" has once again increased, and by stepping on the stepping stone of "Exquisite Art", it has become a popular player in the Go AI world who is "both good-looking and capable of playing"!

After understanding the gap between the two sides, they have basically lost confidence in winning the championship today.

However, Director Liu thinks that his skills are inferior to others, so he can afford to lose...

After the two sides exchanged a few polite words and exchanged business cards, he finally explained his intention.

"Mr. Hu, I wonder if the technical person in charge of the 'Star Array' is here? Can you introduce me to him?"

I can't beat you, but I can poach you!

As the saying goes, water flows to higher places. How can such talents be left to gather dust in such a little-known small company?

"Uh..." Hu Yifei twitched the corner of his mouth.

He is not stupid, how could he not see what the other person is thinking.

However, he immediately pulled over the confused "technical person in charge" beside him.

"This is Chief Engineer Wang, our Chief CTO! He is the most technically capable in the company!"

"General Engineer Wang, I'm sorry! We are both technicians. I think we can exchange technical experiences with each other.

Please tell me, I don’t know how you use the Alpha-beta pruning algorithm to greatly reduce the amount of calculations..."

Seeing Director Liu approaching with enthusiasm and enthusiasm, Hu Yifei felt like hesitating in his heart.

Still want to poach someone?

Can I say that the corner you want to dig is at the end of the world?

I also want to know where the corner of my house is...

While a few people were chatting, several middle-aged people in casual clothes came over.

"Mr. Hu?"

"Hello, may I ask who are..."

"We are from the Huaguo Chess Club. My name is Kong Jie." One of the middle-aged men smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Oh~ I remembered, you are Kong Jiuduan!"

Hu Yifei immediately recognized the person in the previous video. Sure enough, it was the middle-aged man in front of him, and he immediately became enthusiastic.

"I would also like to thank Teacher Kong for his previous affirmation of our Star Array Go game."

Hearing Kong Jie's name, Director Liu, who was wielding a hoe at the side, couldn't help but look over.

"Haha! The products developed by your team are indeed excellent. To be honest, I didn't expect such an excellent product to be developed by our own domestic company.

It was so comforting. Kong Jie said with a smile.

"Teacher Kong has given me the award."

"Haha!" Kong Jie looked Hu Yifei up and down, smiled and nodded.

"He really looks like Lao Hu when he was young. He really has a tiger father and no dog son."

"Uh...you know my father?" Hu Yifei was stunned for a moment.

"Yeah! When we went to the countryside, your father and I were chess friends. Speaking of which, I hugged you when you were born." Kong Jie said with a smile.

"So that's it...Hello, Uncle Kong!" Hu Yifei immediately showed his junior attitude.

No wonder they are willing to help with publicity. It turns out there is such a connection...

This matter...could it be that his father was helping behind the scenes?

This person seems to be honest, but he still cares about his own career even though he doesn't say it...

Director Liu over there also heard the conversation between the two, and felt MMP in his heart.

I said, this is indeed a 50-cent party!

Kong Jie seemed to notice something strange in Hu Yifei's expression, and immediately smiled and waved his hand.

"Hey! Don't get me wrong, I'm not as fussy as that guy Lao Hu. When I say this software is good, that means I really think it's good!

I came here specially today and was sent here as a representative to discuss cooperation matters with you after internal negotiations within the chess club. "

"Cooperation?" Hu Yifei was a little confused.

"Well! After being tried by many chess players and senior executives of our chess club, I feel that your company's products are generally better than similar products on the market in terms of guidance and training design.

So I wanted to see if I could introduce it to our chess club to enhance the training effect of our chess players. "

"Uh..." Hu Yifei was a little confused when his brain was hit by a pie.

Director Liu's face was a little dark.

Kong Jie obviously hasn't noticed yet that one of the "similar products on the market" he calls is right next to him.

And he is also their official collaborator...

"Well... doesn't the Huaguo Chess Club already have training software?"

Hu Yifei glanced at Director Liu and winked at Kong Jie.

However, this look was obviously in vain. Kong Jie, an upright boy who was addicted to Go, was completely indifferent to this hint.

"You're just pretending to be confused because you understand, aren't you? Compared with your products.

Other training software...haha..."

Hu Yifei: "..."

Director Liu: "..."

Haha, it’s a very special word.

When it is simple, it can be a mere modal particle without any meaning.

But sometimes, it can express the complex linguistic connotation of "three thousand words are omitted here"...

Director Liu's heart at this time was severely damaged by these two simple overlapping words.

I wanted to poach someone else's corner, but my own corner turned to the enemy first...

That feeling...

"Ahem! Uncle Kong, look... about cooperation, why don't we wait until after the game and find a time to talk about it?"

Hu Yifei said quickly.

It’s a surprise to be smashed into pieces. It’s the official training software of the National Chess Club... This is almost the ceiling of similar products in China!

But if you smash it, make sure you don't offend the director of the big factory next to you to death...

"Yeah! That's fine. When you win the championship and you deserve it, the previous collaborators will give up."

Hu Yifei: "..."

Director Liu: Orz...
