Chapter 647: Scientists have national boundaries, and so do businessmen
The entire demonstration process lasted for more than an hour, allowing Tang Yuan to have a relatively comprehensive understanding of the artificial intelligence technology developed by Wan Xinming's team, and initially mastered the operation method of [Wahuang].

"Chief Engineer Wan, it seems that Supervisor Danny is not exaggerating. The product you have developed is indeed worthy of the word "epoch-making".

After the demonstration, Tang Yuan sounded a little emotional: "Once [Wahuang] is successfully launched, its application scenarios will be too wide, and it will definitely be used in media, film and television, marketing, education, finance, medical care, scientific research, and games. It will cause huge changes in many industries, and the prospects are hard to estimate.”

At this moment, Tang Yuan can already predict that after [Wahuang] is released, many industries around the world will inevitably set off a wave of layoffs in the short term. After all, capital has always been indifferent and ruthless. For the same job, [Wahuang] Emperor] not only can do it, but can do it better, and can even do it 24 hours a day, all year round. In this case, humans have no competitiveness at all, and the result can only be kicked out.

In this regard, Tang Yuan's heart is like a mirror, but he has no sense of guilt, because this is the pain caused by the changes of the times. If he cannot keep up with the times, he is destined to be eliminated.

Technological changes will definitely bring about more vigorous productivity, and in comparison, those people who are submerged in the tide of the times are really insignificant.

After refilling the pot of tea, the two chatted for a while while drinking tea. Then Tang Yuan spoke again: "General Manager Wan, now as the chairman of the Victor Foundation, I want to announce a decision to you."

When Wan Xinming heard this, he looked stunned for a moment, and then immediately showed a serious expression: "Chairman, please speak..."

"From now on, Wahuang Technology will be completely separated from the Victor Foundation. All the equity it owns will be transferred to my personal name. In the future, the largest shareholder of Wahuang Technology will no longer be the Victor Foundation. Can you Do you understand me?"

Tang Yuan looked at Wan Xinming and said in a slightly solemn tone.

Speaking of this, Tang Yuan smiled: "People often say that science has no borders, and scientists have borders. In fact, the same is true for businessmen. I know that if Wahuang Technology belongs to the Victor Foundation, it may be more beneficial to its development, but Some things cannot be measured in terms of money. We can’t bear the name of [Wahuang] for our technology, and in the end the Chinese can only watch it and not use it.”

"Forehead……"

"So before [Wahuang] comes out, I have to separate Wahuang Technology from the Victor Foundation. In the future, I can make [Wahuang] go online smoothly in China and avoid the restrictions of Western technology blockade."

"Although I am the highest authority of the Victor Foundation, and all assets of the Victor Foundation belong to me, you must know that the roots of the Victor Foundation are in the United States, and my roots are in China."

"Chairman, I don't quite understand."

"In recent years, the international situation has been undercurrent, especially disputes in the field of science and technology. The conflicts between China and the United States have been put on the table. If Wahuang Technology belongs to the Victor Foundation, then Wahuang Technology will inevitably be affected by Western influence in the future. Technical blockade to prevent [Wahuang] from flowing into China.”

There are some things that Tang Yuan has to take precautions for.

"Chief Engineer Wan, there is naturally a difference between the two."

Wan Xinming asked with some confusion: "Does Wahuang Technology belong to the Victor Foundation or does it belong to you? Is there any difference between the two?"

Warwick's tragic experience is right in front of us. If Wahuang Technology remains under the control of the Victor Foundation, after [Wahuang] is released, the US empire will most likely launch a technological blockade and prohibit the flow of this technology to China.

In the dispute between major powers, what will Tang Yuan do?
Is it possible for him to take a nuclear submarine, run to the US imperialist, and tell him that if you don't lift the technological blockade, I will send a nuclear bomb to bomb your hometown?
Such an idea can only be said to be whimsical.

The strategic nuclear submarine was for Tang Yuan to lift the table, not to show off his power. Since everyone was sitting at the card table, they had to follow the rules. Between enterprises, there is a way of playing between enterprises.

Between big countries, there are also ways of playing between big countries.

Wan Xinming is a highly intelligent person, and Tang Yuan said all this. If he still doesn't understand what Tang Yuan means, then he is too stupid.

Obviously, Tang Yuan planned to focus the future development direction of Wahuang Technology on the great eastern country.

"Chairman, oh, no..."

Wan Xinming made a decision quickly. He looked at Tang Yuan and said, "Director Tang, I support your decision!"

When Tang Yuan heard this, the smile on his face became a little brighter. He picked up the teacup and touched it with Wan Xinming: "General Manager Wan, I made this decision just to prepare for a rainy day. No one can predict what the future will be like, and you can't predict it either." There doesn’t need to be any big psychological burden.”

"As for financial support and technical support, it makes no difference whether you belong to the Victor Foundation or to me personally. Now that we have finished talking about the ownership of Wahuang Technology, next I want to talk about the company's equity distribution question."

Having said this, Tang Yuan paused and raised his hand to drink all the warm tea in the cup. However, Wan Xinming, who was sitting directly opposite Tang Yuan, became nervous in vain.

Equity distribution is related to one's own interests, and this is the real highlight.

Facing Wan Xinming's eager gaze, Tang Yuan raised the corner of his lips slightly: "Chief Engineer Wan, according to the information given to me by Supervisor Danny, if your team can successfully develop an epoch-making artificial intelligence within the specified time limit, The product will give you 15% equity as a reward, right?”

"Is such that."

"The 15% equity is divided into four years of exercise and a six-year lock-in period."

Wan Xinming nodded slightly and answered truthfully.

As a capital behemoth in California, the Victor Foundation naturally has no loopholes in finance. In order to prevent core technical personnel from directly cashing out and running away after obtaining the equity, the Victor Foundation naturally set up corresponding preventive measures.

The four-year exercise means that the 15% equity will be awarded to the Wan Xinming team one after another within a period of four years, and the six-year lock-in period means that the Wan Xinming team will receive these 15% equity. After holding % equity, you will not be able to choose to cash out during these six years.

Wan Xinming's team understands these many restrictions. After all, the Victor Foundation invested US$6 million in the early stage. Even if the equity appreciation is not taken into account, the value of this 15% equity is as high as nearly US$9000 million.

Such wealth is enough to allow most people to directly achieve financial freedom.

If there are no restrictions, then some people will most likely choose to cash out and leave the market after receiving the equity. At that time, a large number of core technical personnel will leave, and the entire company will not be far away from collapse...
