Rebirth Starts at 7 Million

After Luo Fan completed the recruitment, Xu Jiale and Wang Jing began to familiarize the new employees with the company's business according to the original plan.

Xu Jiale's game side is currently mainly responsible for the update and management of the 2048 leaderboard, and the bug verification and repair of Fruit Ninja.

Wang Jing's side is mainly responsible for the maintenance of the official website and the preliminary test of the stability of the Xingyuan application platform.

Everything is normal.

On the other hand, Penguin received news that Ali's people did not know why they went to sign a 20 million contract with a small company in Shanghai.

20 million is not worth paying attention to in terms of a giant like Penguin, but it is very interesting to sign a contract with a little-known company.

So Penguin's people conducted a simple investigation of the company that signed with Ali. Only after checking Penguin did they know that the company was Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd., which developed 2048 and Fruit Ninja.

Does Ali want to enter the game industry?

With this question in mind, Penguin continued to conduct a more detailed investigation of Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd.

I don’t know if I don’t check it, but I was shocked when I checked it. Penguin soon found out that there are two very interesting patents under the name of Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd., face recognition and listening to songs.

At present, Penguin Music is researching the patent of listening to songs and recognizing music, but unexpectedly someone made it one step ahead and registered the patent, which made Penguin people a little unexpected.

"Ali's people aren't interested in these two patents, are they?" a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses muttered while watching the survey results.

"Manager Zhang, as far as I know, Ali has been researching face recognition technology recently."

"You mean they approached this company for facial recognition?"

"Probably."

"Then you said that for the price of 20 million, did they buy a patent? Or did they buy the license for this patent?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Probably bought a patent!"

"I think on the contrary, the 20 million patent won't get it, they should just buy the license."

"Then you mean..."

"We can get there first, and even if it doesn't work out, we can win the music department to save some time."

......

The simultaneous actions of Penguin and Ali naturally attracted the attention of another giant, Baidu.

After Baidu's investigation, they also learned about Luofan's company.

Baidu acquired Qianqianjingting in 2006 and is now in the stage of music copyright competition.

Moreover, compared with Penguin, Baidu has not yet started to develop listening to songs and recognizing songs, so after seeing these two patents under the name of Luo Fan Company, Baidu was also moved.

In this way, next Monday, Luo Fan was waiting for Meng Xianbin's arrival in the office. They made an appointment to re-discuss the authorization of face recognition today.

Meng Xianbin drove to the downstairs of Luo Fan's company. He just opened the car door and walked out. A middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses got out of a car next to him.

Meng Xianbin frowned and thought, "Why is he here?"

Before Meng Xianbin could ask questions, another car stopped, this time a woman in her early 30s got off the car.

The three were stunned when they saw each other, and then none of them chose to take the initiative to speak.

It was not until the three of them got on the elevator and pressed the button on the 12th floor at the same time that Meng Xianbin couldn't help but speak. You didn't go to Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd., did you?

The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Meng Xianbin cursed inwardly as bad luck, and then stopped talking.

After the elevator reached the 12th floor, Meng Xianbin and his secretary came out first.

Qin Beibei at the front desk saw someone coming out of the elevator, so he tidyed up his instruments quickly and showed a formulaic smile.

After a while, Meng Xianbin walked in, and he glanced at Luo Fan's company a little surprised.

Obviously, the person who sent the computer last week came back and said that Luo Fan's company was empty and there was nothing. Why did he find everything that should be there when he came over?

"Hello sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

Qin Beibei's words interrupted Meng Xianbin's thoughts. He smiled and said, "I have an appointment with you, Mr. Luo. I am Meng Xianbin from Ali."

"It turned out to be Mr. Meng. Our President Luo has already explained it before. Please come here."

"Hey! Wait a minute. I'm Zhang Jian from Penguin. I also want to visit you, Mr. Luo. Please tell me, Miss."

"And me, I am Yu Yin of Baidu."

Zhang Jian and Yu Yin, who came in behind, said successively.

Qin Beibei was stunned for a moment, then continued to put on a formulaic smile and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhang, Miss Yu, please wait a moment."

After speaking, Qin Beibei made a gesture of invitation and took Meng Xianbin to Luo Fan's office first.

"Dongdong~Mr. Luo, Mr. Meng is here."

At this time, Luo Fan was writing about the voice assistant in the office. After hearing the knock on the door, he hid the program and said, "Come in!"

Qin Beibei pushed open the door and led Meng Xianbin in.

"Mr. Luo, your temperament is very different from when you were in school!" Meng Xianbin looked at Luo Fan and said.

"What's the difference? That's it! Come on, Mr. Meng, please take a seat. Sister Qin, go and call Xiao Gao and let her come over."

"Okay, Mr. Luo, by the way, Mr. Luo has another matter. There are two guests outside to visit."

"There are two more guests? Who are they?"

"They claim to be Mr. Zhang Jian from Penguin and Miss Yu Yin from Baidu."

Luo Fan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Meng Xianbin.

Meng Xianbin nodded with a wry smile.

"Sister Qin, please invite them in too!"

"Okay, Mr. Luo." Qin Beibei withdrew after saying that.

After coming out of Luo Fan's office, Qin Beibei knocked on the door of Gao Meng's office first, telling her that Ali's Meng Xianbin was here, and Luo Fan asked her to come over.

Then he hurried back to the front desk, and led Zhang Jian from Penguin and Yu Yin from Baidu to Luo Fan's office together.

At this moment, Luo Fan was also confused. To be honest, he didn't expect that the people from the Big Three would come to visit at the same time. I don't know if it was a coincidence or something else.
