Collection of Gods

Chapter 751 Poaching
It took Tang Yuan and others about ten minutes to walk from the ticket gate outside the China Overseas Grand Theater to the inside of the China Overseas Grand Theater. In fact, as the organizers, Tang Yuan and others could drive into the China Overseas Grand Theater through the internal passage. However, under the advice of the marketing genius Mr. Lei, adhering to the principle of not wasting free traffic, Tang Yuan and others finally chose not to use the privilege and chose the same entry method as other ordinary guests.

In a sense, from the most senior Mr. Ren, to the two Ma brothers who are at the peak of their careers, to Mr. Lei and Mr. Zhang who are riding the wind and waves, and finally to the up-and-coming Tang Yuan, the topic traffic brought by each of them is no worse than those top stars, it's just that they usually travel in a low-key manner and their whereabouts are not revealed to ordinary people.

If Ren Lao or the Ma Shuang were really thrown into a crowded university campus or pedestrian street at the same time as those popular stars in the entertainment industry, in terms of popularity and support, the former would most likely be more popular and supported.

Now, Tang Yuan and six others appeared at the global launch of "Emperor Wa" at the same time. Thanks to the posts from onlookers and the promotion of media matrices such as Alibaba, ByteDance, and Penguin, Tang Yuan and others had not even entered the Zhonghai Grand Theater, and hot posts about the six of them appearing at the global launch of "Emperor Wa" were already flying all over the Internet.

Seeing such remarkable results, Tang Yuan couldn't help but give Lei Jun a thumbs up: "Boss Lei, great!"

"Boss Lei, your marketing skills are really amazing!"

Penguin Horse glanced at Lei Jun and immediately echoed.

"We at Xiaomi Group cannot compare with those CEOs. We do not have our own media matrix. If we want to obtain the maximum traffic at the lowest cost, we can only rely on our own efforts."

Lei Jun waved his hand and responded with a smile.

Surrounded by the crowd, Tang Yuan and the other five chatted and laughed. After entering the China Overseas Grand Theater, they did not go to the VIP lounge to rest, but went straight to the main venue of today's global press conference.

At this moment, there are about ten minutes left before the start of the [Emperor Wa] global launch conference. The main venue is already packed with people and the seats are full. The scene is noisy and looks very lively.

As a high-tech company, Wahuang Technology's global launch conference today was extremely luxurious. The huge multi-functional media display screen made people look particularly small when standing in front of it.

As Tang Yuan and his six companions entered the main venue, Xiao Yayue, who had received the news, hurried over to greet them. She first greeted them one by one, and then took the initiative to walk in front to lead the way for them.

Tang Yuan asked as he walked, "Boss Xiao, I heard from Wan Xinming this afternoon that Microsoft and Google also sent people to our global press conference today. Is that true?"

"It's true." Xiao Yayue nodded. "Microsoft sent a five-member team, led by a Microsoft vice president, and Google sent a seven-member team, led by a director of Google's AI R&D division. They were arranged in the second row, just behind you on the left."

When Tang Yuan and the other six heard what Xiao Yayue said, they all looked towards the second row at the same time, and easily saw people from Microsoft and Google.

The reason is very simple. The skin colors of the people there are varied, including white, black, and yellow. They are gathered together, and no one knows what they are discussing.

"Mr. Ma, you must have had a lot of dealings with Microsoft and Google. What do you think is their purpose in coming all the way to Zhonghai?"

After Tang Yuan saw the participants from Microsoft and Google, he turned to look at Penguin Ma and Alibaba Ma and asked with interest.

"The fundamental purpose is definitely to see whether our epoch-making artificial intelligence product [Wuhuang] that we have been promoting is really as powerful as we have advertised. At the same time, they will analyze and evaluate the gap between the two sides based on their current technology."

"If the gap between the two sides is not big, they may leave Zhonghai directly after the global launch without any delay and return to the United States to report the situation to the headquarters, and then adjust their research and development progress and direction based on the technological gap between the two sides."

"However, if the gap between the two sides is too big..."

At this point, Penguin Horse showed a hint of amusement at the corners of his lips, but did not continue.

"What if the gap between the two sides is too big?" Tang Yuan saw Penguin Horse stopped talking halfway. He was a little confused and asked subconsciously.

"If the gap between the two sides is too big, they will not leave Zhonghai in the short term. Not only will they not leave, but Microsoft and Google will even send people here."

Alima took over the conversation, looked at Tang Yuan and said with a smile.

"What are you sending people over for?"

Tang Yuan looked at the mysterious Penguin Horse and Ali Horse. He felt a little depressed and asked again.

In response, Ali Ma only replied with two words: "Poaching people!"

When Tang Yuan heard this, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

"Microsoft and Google are both world-class technology giants with strong financial resources. If they find that the technological gap between the two sides is too large and it is difficult to close the gap through conventional means in the short term, they will choose to poach your people. And they will either not make a move or poach your entire core team. Their methods can be said to be very ruthless."

Penguin Horse spoke again slowly, and his expression became a little solemn at the end. The other CEOs also looked very unhappy. It was obvious that they had all encountered similar situations before.

Business is like a battlefield, and sometimes it is just so cruel. After working hard for many years, you will end up making wedding dresses for others, because human nature is often the most vulnerable to the test.

US dollars, green cards, luxury houses, luxury cars, beauties...

There are indeed very few people who can remain firm in their will in the face of the temptation from foreign financial groups.

"Director Tang, you have to be mentally prepared."

Ali Ma glanced at Microsoft and Google not far away and said softly, "After [Wuhuang] is officially released, Microsoft, Google and other foreign companies will definitely go crazy. They will definitely find ways to contact Wan Xinming and will spare no effort to poach him."

"Bosses, don't worry, I know what's going on."

Tang Yuan nodded and replied seriously: "No matter in the past or now, I have been kind to Wan Xinming, and Wan Xinming is not an ungrateful person. I believe in Wan Xinming."

In fact, as early as the National Day, Tang Yuan took the opportunity to give Wan Xinming a loyalty candy. Now, although Wan Xinming is not 100% loyal to Tang Yuan, he can still achieve absolute loyalty.

Precisely because of this confidence, Tang Yuan does not worry that Wan Xinming will be poached. Because on the premise of absolute loyalty, Wan Xinming has the equity, the reputation, and the status he wants, unless Microsoft and Google are willing to lure Wan Xinming with more than ten times the benefits, which is obviously impossible.

As for the other members of the core team of Wahuang Technology, they are insignificant to Tang Yuan. As long as Wan Xinming, the "father of artificial intelligence", does not leave, even if other people leave, Tang Yuan can transfer people from Penguin, Alibaba and other groups at any time to supplement them.

Penguin Ma, Ali Ma and the others looked at Tang Yuan's confident look, so they didn't say anything more and quickly followed Xiao Yayue to sit down in their seats...
