While Jiang Chen and MOSS were chatting here, the bidding price soared to 300 million.
Seeing the rich and powerful Douyin making such a bid, people from other major manufacturers stopped talking.
An exclusive usage fee of 300 million, plus a fee for each interface call.
If it weren't for a super big platform like Douyin, no other company would dare to offer this price.
After all, no one knows whether they can get their money back.
After seeing that no one else bid, Douyin's product director and marketing director knew that theirs was a safe bet.
Sure enough, Douyin’s bid was successful in the end.
When going through the formalities, Douyin's marketing director readily paid 300 million yuan in advance.
In order to prevent unexpected changes, they paid the entire amount in one lump sum and took the initiative to pay 200 million yuan as a deposit for calling the API interface.
Is this because of Douyinhao?
No, it was actually because Douyin was worried that Academician Jiang would feel that they were not sincere in cooperating, so they could only use money to show their sincerity.
When Jiang Chen saw the money transferred through MOSS, he really felt the other party's sincerity, so he immediately arranged for MOSS to help Douyin's people call the interface.
MOSS is also an honest artificial intelligence. After receiving Jiang Chen's order, MOSS fully started the full-time nanny mode to serve the benefactor's father.
From "determining the API documentation" to the final "debugging and verification", the programmers from the Douyin development team were not involved in the entire process.
This made every programmer responsible for this project panic.
"Holy shit, is this artificial intelligence? So powerful?"
"It's unbelievable. This artificial intelligence has done all the work for our team! The key is not even a bug!"
"It's too outrageous. I thought artificial intelligence would not replace me, but now it seems that it will happen in a matter of minutes! No! I can't fish anymore, and I have to start working hard!"
With the help of MOSS, a new special effects application was quickly launched in Douyin software.
The name of the application is very simple and crude, it is called "Change Face and Change Age".
At first, Douyin users thought this was an ordinary AI face-changing special effect. What people didn’t expect was that the first video displayed below this application was Wu Gan’s hotly discussed video some time ago.
Users who saw Wu Gan's video immediately began to speculate.
Could it be that this app called "Face Changing and Age Changing" is the one Wu Gan used in The Wandering Planet?
Curious users began to try it one after another.
The operation is very simple.
Just put your face into the camera or upload videos or photos to see the effect.
It doesn’t cost any money to try it out anyway.
After everyone followed the application prompts, it only took a second for them to see themselves young or old.
"Hell, this app is amazing! I chose the option of being ten years younger, and guess what? The person who came out looked exactly like me when I was fifteen!"
"Me too! I never thought that an app could actually recreate what I looked like when I was a child! It's so accurate!"
"Oh my god, I want to thank the inventor of the app. My grandma didn't take many photos when she was young. Just now she saw her youth through this app and she started crying!"
Yulun continues to ferment on social platforms, and Douyin has become popular again because of the "face-changing and age-changing" application!
Users who did not originally use Douyin began to download Douyin after seeing this application and everyone's experience of using it.
Even some elderly people became users of the Douyin platform at this time.
Douyin users increased by nearly 100 million during this period, and the number of users on the entire platform exceeded 1.1 billion.
We must know that so far, the total number of mobile Internet users in Longguo is only more than 1.3 billion.
Douyin directly accounted for nearly 85% of the market share, which made people from other major manufacturers jealous.
After other major manufacturers saw Douyin's user growth, they all regretted why they didn't win the exclusive right to use Jiang Chen's technology during the bidding!
Isn’t it just 300 million yuan?
Including the cost of calling the API interface, the cost of acquiring a user is more than three yuan!
You must know that the current Internet has changed from an incremental era to a stock era. At this level, it is simply more difficult to obtain an accurate user for more than three yuan.
Under Douyin's proud customer acquisition results, people from other major factories could not sit still. They first punished those who participated in the auction that day, with salary cuts for some and demotions for others.
Then he used his connections to contact Renren and Jiang Chen, hoping to seek cooperation.
When the news reached Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen did not completely reject the cooperation intention of these major manufacturers. He only informed them that the "face-changing and age-changing" technology is currently used exclusively by Douyin. If there are other technologies, Jiang Chen will consider them. Cooperate with them.
Although they didn't get the results they wanted, with Jiang Chen's words, the people in these big factories breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, every time Academician Jiang develops a technology, the market buys it. How can such a big guy do it without a good relationship!
After handling this matter, Jiang Chen felt that he could concentrate on studying the props, but he didn't expect that Yan Zhengqian had already made an appointment with MOSS to see him.
"Academician Jiang, we now have a project that is studying super energy. The leader of the project team, Academician Zhao, wants you to attend the meeting together."
"Academician Zhao is..." Jiang Chen had never heard of Academician Zhao, so he could only ask Yan Zhengqian directly.
"Academician Zhao mainly studies the direction of nuclear energy resources. I heard that Academician Jiang has developed heavy fusion technology, so I thought that if Academician Jiang is not busy during this period, I would share it with everyone."
Jiang Chen thought to himself why he wasn't busy. There were a lot of things waiting for him in the crew.
Regarding the matter of re-fusion technology, Jiang Chen reported it to the superiors along with the "66 Spring Festival Rings" data.
But the people above did not express their opinions at that time.
It now seems that the reason why they did not take a position may be because they were still in the research stage at that time.
Now I let myself share and communicate, probably to develop super energy.
"Okay, when is the meeting?"
"At ten o'clock in the morning next Monday, Academician Jiang will participate in the meeting online, so there is no need to go out."
Jiang Chen didn't have any objections to Yan Zhengqian's arrangement. Anyway, he didn't have any need to go out. Let's just have an online meeting.
After Yan Zhengqian left, Jiang Chen looked at the empty warehouse and the Su 57 scattered on the floor, thinking about how to put the Su 57 together.
After dealing with the parts on the Su 57 for so long, Jiang Chen now almost understands the functions and installation locations of each part.
But the problem is that for such a big fighter plane, he would definitely not be able to put it together.
So he set his sights on the multifunctional robotic arm next to the corner.
