Chapter 2964: Fate brings together

When working, time always passes quickly.

Zhou Buqi learned from Ziweiyun about the development of EverZoom, a multi-person online video product, in the campus market, as well as the data comparison with competitors. I also learned about some traffic conversion data of the game video website Twitch, and made an outline of ideas for the third book.

The time will soon come.

The secretary came and invited Lu Qi to meet the guests.

Reddit's negotiation team is already here.

Although Ziweixing International wants to acquire Reddit this time, the more proactive and proactive party is obviously Reddit.

After "civil unrest", Reddit's power has now been taken back by the board of directors.

The real actual control, of course, falls in the hands of the most important investor, YC Investment.

The very young YC president that Lu Qi mentioned, who publicly came out as gay at the age of 16, was the most important person in charge of this negotiation.

Zhou Buqi wanted to go over and meet him.

See who it is.

YC Investment is also a well-known investment institution that has emerged in Silicon Valley in recent years. This man is in his twenties. He used to be engaged in technology. He was suddenly selected as the president of YC Investment, which shows that his ability is very good. .

The meeting place was "9P" on the 16th floor, which is actually the internal digital media conference room with the serial number "9".

This is a medium-sized conference room.

Not many people came from the other side.

There are only a dozen in total.

Zhou Buqi arrived a little later, and when he went, the guests had already arrived. However, he has the qualifications. As soon as he appeared with a smile, more than 20 negotiation teams from both sides stood up to welcome Boss Zhou.

Especially the Reddit team, the colors in their eyes seem to be thicker and their emotions are more exciting.

Zhou Buqi went over and shook hands with them one by one.

It was a bit unclear for a while.

Because these people are all young, in their twenties.

I don’t know who is taking the lead.

It wasn't until I shook hands with the sixth person that the other person finally introduced himself and shook hands with him with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, nice to meet you. I am Sam, the interim CEO of Reddit, and I will lead the team this time. , I hope we can start friendly negotiations with you.”

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Of course, I believe we can get a result that satisfies both parties. I have a deep connection with Reddit, you know that?"

"origin?"

"The Reddit domain name was originally purchased from me."

"It's you?"

The interim CEO named Sam was stunned and couldn't help being pleasantly surprised.

He really just learned such news!

He just joined Reddit's board of directors not long ago. He only knew that when Reddit was founded, they didn't have the domain name in hand. They spent money to buy the domain name from China on the other side of the ocean, which cost a total of 150,000 US dollars.

As for who bought it from, so many years have passed and no one cares at all.

I didn’t expect that there would be such a coincidence!

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "This is fate."

Sam said a very mysterious thing in English: "Fate has always been thin and indifferent, and I am extremely grateful to be with you on this journey. If there is fate, you can't avoid it, if you don't have fate, you can't touch it. When fate arises, we gather together, and when fate ends, we scatter. Mr. Zhou, no To think we would bond over this!”

Zhou Buqi was slightly startled, a little stunned.

However, Lu Qi said that this kid came out publicly when he was 16 years old, so it is not strange for him to study some Buddhist practices.

Zhou Buqi asked tentatively: "Do you still meditate?"

Sam smiled and said: "Yes, I am a mindfulness practitioner. I have a meditation teacher. Whenever I have the opportunity, I will study and meditate with him. In my opinion, people's social relationships are living in It’s about relationships, not relationships.”

"It makes sense, it makes sense."

Zhou Buqi laughed haha.

I thought to myself that this guy was really mysterious and could deceive me.

Lu Qi seemed to notice his disapproval and added next to him: "Ultraman is a staunch meditator. He and Steve Jobs are the same meditation teacher."

"oh?"

Zhou Buqi became serious.

Didn't you expect to come?

Um?

etc!

What's his name?

Ultraman?

Sam...Ultraman...

"I go!"

Zhou Buqi was stunned for a moment, and then he carefully looked at the young man in front of him again. In a daze, he finally realized what the so-called legendary nature that Lu Qi was talking about was.

No wonder!

No wonder his resume is so legendary, no wonder he is a young genius, no wonder he publicly came out as gay at the age of 16, no wonder he and Steve Jobs are fellow Zen practitioners... What the hell, he is Sam Altman, the father of ChatGPT!

It’s fun now!

Found a treasure!

Zhou Buqi's goal suddenly changed.

Compared to acquiring the anonymous community Reddit, the person in front of you is more important!

Our own large generative AI model has been unable to find a suitable person in charge.

Shen Xiangyang and Lu Qi even had bad ideas, hoping that Boss Zhou would step down personally to lead this big project.

Zhou Buqi knows how much he weighs, how can he have that ability?

If he wants to make an application-based product, he is confident.

It will definitely be done well.

But this kind of general-purpose generative AI large model can be said to be one of the few areas in the Internet industry that requires hard-core technology. It is also the most cutting-edge technological project that will subvert the direction of the entire artificial intelligence industry and lead a group of eccentric people. Scientists...how can this be human work?

Even if Zhou Buqi really accomplishes this, he still has to take off several layers of skin.

He can't do such a thing!

As men get older, they must be careful in this regard!

Work is important, but you shouldn’t make it too difficult for yourself.

Many men are no longer capable when they reach middle age, and their married life becomes powerless.

Not only is the time shorter and the hardness weaker, but the length is also shortened.

Having been immersed in the IT industry for so many years, Zhou Buqi has heard too many private conversations of the middle-aged men around him. Even many guys in their twenties have encountered such physical difficulties. This is all about technology. The negative effects of the job!

The stars and the sea are quite beautiful, but the longing for the beauty of the stars and the sea is not to be practiced, but to call for it.

I always let others do it, how can I do it myself?

Zhou Buqi has been really annoyed by this matter for the past two days, but he didn't expect that there would be no way out, and there would be a bright future in another village!

In the process of acquiring the small website Reddit, I discovered a turning point!

The current interim CEO of Reddit is actually Sam Altman!

It's true that you can't find anything even if you wear iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

It is indeed fate!

Dependent origins bring together!

No wonder this man was so young, and even when his business failed, he was able to cross over from a technical position to a financial position, and became the president of YC Investment, a well-known venture capital institution.

Does this require huge charisma (ability to deceive)?

It would not be surprising at all if it were placed on Ultraman Sam.

Ultraman Sam also saw the change in Boss Zhou's expression, and felt a little strange, "Is there... any problem?"

Zhou Buqi coughed and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I was just a little strange just now. I always feel that you have a certain trait that is very similar to Steve Jobs. I noticed it when I first saw you. I didn’t expect that you actually have some connection. It’s probably fate!”

"Well, fate."

Ultraman Sam laughed.

Zhou Buqi had already made up his mind.

To poach him from YC investments.

We want him to complete his "Ultraman transformation" in Ziweixing International!
