According to the contract, Meng Fanqi could continue to take 20% of the project revenue based on the YOLO algorithm, and adding 10% is indeed a lot, already close to one-third.
Especially for government projects, a lot of manpower is required, and the regulations in various aspects are also relatively complex.
"But Mr. Li, I'm in Shanghai now and I don't have any equipment at hand. I'm afraid your Shanghai branch needs to make some preparations for this." Is this the Baidu branch in Shanghai? Meng Fanqi smiled with complicated emotions. Is this a return visit to his old place in some sense?
"Shang Hai? Why did you go there?" Li Yanhong was confused at first, but then suddenly realized that Meng Fanqi was not from Yanjing. Now that his studies and work have moved to Silicon Valley, it is strange to stay in Yanjing.
"I came to Shanghai and invested in a game company with my friends. I haven't left yet. If I have to talk about this matter, I have to ask Mr. Li to look after me and advertise for us if I have the opportunity in the future."
This can only be regarded as a show of words at best, but it still greatly increased the confidence of the three founders of Mi Huhu.
"No problem, there is absolutely no problem with this. As long as this government project can be signed, the fields recommended by Baidu Games will not matter at all." Li Yanhong clearly distinguishes priorities.
At this time, Baidu already had a Shanghai branch in the Tianlin Road Science and Technology Oasis. This address was also where Meng Fanqi worked before his rebirth.
It's not too far from Mihuyou's address, about two subway stops.
Li Yanhong promised to have everything ready later, and Meng Fanqi agreed to spend two or three days starting tomorrow to help Baidu solve some of the problems and needs encountered in government projects.
From a personal perspective, Meng Fanqi believes that Baidu himself has the strength and ability to solve these problems.
It’s just the breakthrough and practical value of the real-time detection algorithm that made Robin Li too eager to prove that his choice in the direction of AI was correct and wise.
Too much attention is placed on project negotiation and business needs, and professionals lack enough time and energy to fully understand the inner principles of Meng Fanqi's method.
Naturally, no solution can be given in a short period of time.
Just now, Meng Fanqi has pointed out one of the several mainstream and useful methods in the future, which is the SORT algorithm in 2016-17.
It adopts an online tracking method, which does not use information from future frames and can operate at a higher FPS. It is very suitable for use with the YOLO algorithm.
SORT+YOLO was the standard for many real-time methods in 18-20 years.
One of its main contributions is to change the two-stage matching to a one-stage method. Like the core logic of YOLO, it achieves real-time and fast predictive reasoning by simplifying steps and processes.
Meng Fanqi believed that if Wang Haifeng was talking to him on the phone, as long as he did not hide his secrets, it would take about 30 minutes to an hour for Wang Haifeng to understand the main logic of the method.
Unfortunately, the one he was talking to was Robin Li. His perspective contained fewer components of algorithms and technology, but he was eager to win the big piece of government projects.
"I'm very happy to have successfully reached a consensus today. Let's contact you if something happens in the future." Meng Fanqi was basically not prepared to get involved in Mi Huliu's matter. He didn't even bother to ask for real shares. He came here purely for money.
Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to stay any longer.
Regarding the two-dimensional matter, even if there is a situation in the future, it will be left to Tang Juan, who has taken the real shares, to take care of it. I really don't know much about it, and I am not prepared to pay attention to it. I just want to have the right amount of money.
"Things went much smoother than I thought, so there won't be much trouble recently." Meng Fanqi was originally more cautious and thought it would take a few days.
However, thanks to his current close relationship with Baidu and Google, this investment went extremely smoothly.
"Then let's meet again after the new year. I will continue to supplement relevant knowledge and practice code in the past few months, so as not to hold you back."
He dropped out of school due to dissatisfaction with his major and planned to go abroad. Tang Juan was the most deeply involved in Meng Fanqi's affairs, and even sponsored the high-end computers initially used to implement all current algorithms.
In addition, he is currently the only classmate who is about to go to the United States with Meng Fanqi. While Tang Juan is grateful, he is also feeling a lot of pressure and fear.
I believe that my virtue is not worthy of my position and I may be replaced at any time. This strong thigh cannot hold me.
How could he have imagined that he still had many emotional points in Meng Fanqi's heart that future generations would fight for together, and that he was actually the one who truly guided the 'AI genius' Meng Fanqi to embark on the path of AI?
However, Meng Fanqi didn't reveal anything. He thought it was a good thing to keep Tang Juan's nervous state of mind and let him learn more and practice more.
If nothing else, his level of effort in the past few months has been unprecedented.
There are so many geniuses in Silicon Valley, and it’s really hard for Tang Juan to get in if he doesn’t work hard. It will be very difficult for him to share some of the pressure in the future.
Meng Fanqi has been given a great opportunity. How much he can achieve depends on whether he can live up to his expectations.
After dealing with the matter of rice fraud, Tang Juan directly bought the high-speed rail and left Shanghai, returning to his hometown in Anhui Province.
Nowadays, the transportation is convenient, and the one-way trip only takes three or four hours.
Meng Fanqi plans to stay in Shanghai for a while and wait until after Christmas to return to his hometown to visit his parents.
Since discussing cooperation with Robin Li, Meng Fanqi has not done much serious work for about a month without knowing it.
Negotiated the contract, made demonstrations, changed the code, went to Australia to attend the conference, and traveled around for a few days.
It's good to have established a cooperative relationship with two technology giants, but you still need to be vigilant at all times. The foundation for your early success is to have enough technological innovations and breakthroughs.
At present, this is far from enough.
After planning to leave Yanjing, Meng Fanqi also had enough money to buy a 2013 version of Apple notebook so that he could work at any time.
At this moment, he found a nearby coffee shop, sat down alone, and started sorting out the development plan for the next ten days in front of his notebook.
First, we need to resolve the two or three demands from Baidu as soon as possible. This should not take too long, and can be divided into three days at most.
Meng Fanqi already has specific ideas in this regard, so there should be no problems.
In the remaining time, I have to go to Google Shanghai to debug the recommendation and advertising algorithms there.
"Google Advertising generates more than 20 billion US dollars in revenue per quarter. This should be done sooner rather than later."
Although the number of years for drawing the commission is fixed, there is still a big difference in how early and how late you get hundreds of millions of dollars.
If Meng Fanqi already has a quarter's commission in his hand at this time, then the shares that can be picked up during this trip to Shanghai are far more than just Mi Huhuang's family.
This experience gave Meng Fanqi a slight sense of urgency.
If you don’t have money on hand, the opportunities that you remember in your memory will be wasted one by one.
Thinking of this, I immediately became full of energy and started coding with high morale.
At this moment, my phone vibrated. When I opened it, I saw a WeChat message from Wang Kai, "Brother, can you take me away?"
