Chapter 83 Rotten Things (Chapter 14)
The next day, Chen Mengchuan and his party of 16 people and four cars drove toward the IBM headquarters in Armonk City.
Armonk is a small town northeast of New York City. Along with Chen Mengchuan, three people and one car, there was Anthony, a student of Simon, who knew a lot about IBM. He slowly told Chen Mengchuan and others about some past and present things about IBM, most of which Chen Mengchuan had never heard of.
The car quickly drove up a hillside. On the hillside was the IBM headquarters. There were six parking lots as big as a football field right in front of the IBM office building. There were not many cars, and only three of them were filled.
The car stopped in the parking lot and a group of people got out of the car. IBM, which had received the news, came forward to receive the message, and 6 people came to receive it, including 2 people from Intel Company.
The IBM party was headed by a middle-aged woman with a bright smile. Anthony told Chen Mengchuan that this woman was Gini Rometty, the current head of IBM. Chairman, Chairman and CEO of IBM Corporation! All major initiatives and changes at IBM in the past 8 or 9 years have been driven by this woman!
As for the Intel company, he is a man with deep eyes and heavy bags under his eyes. The current CEO of the Intel company is Bob Swan, a man with a rich career and a very smart man.
For Nvidia company, it is the founder and CEO Jensen Huang and his assistant secretary.
After a brief greeting, both parties entered IBM.
After sitting around in a large open conference room, we began to discuss Super Tenzhi Supercomputer Plan.
Whether it is Gini Rometty of IBM, Bob Swan of Intel, or Jensen Huang of Nvidia, all three of them are very talkative and charming people.
During the conversation, Bob Swan said with a smile that when this supercomputing project with a budget of 10 billion US Dollar was first placed on his desk, it was almost thrown directly into the trash can, but fortunately his secretary stopped him and told him that the order came from Tianzhi, a Chinese company that is changing the world. This attracted his attention.
The humorous and well-timed conversations made the atmosphere at the scene very good.
Soon an IBM engineer began to show the four plans made by the three companies based on the 10 billion US Dollar budget.
IBM proposed the first plan, which was quickly rejected by Chen Mengchuan after more than an hour of heated discussions and exchanges.
After taking a break, Intel proposed a second plan, but it was quickly rejected by Chen Mengchuan.
Then it was lunch time. Ginny Rometty took everyone to the IBM employee cafeteria and had a simple yet nutritious work meal.
Then Ginny Rometty proposed a break to revise and refine the new plan. Chen Mengchuan and others naturally postponed the plan report and exchange to the next day.
On the way back to Yonkers, Chen Mengchuan received a call from Xu Shuwei.
"Brother Xu, what happened?" Chen Mengchuan asked directly.
Xu Shuwei nodded and replied, "Baidu Company sued Tianzhi for unfair competition, including poaching and stealing Baidu's core search engine algorithm technology, and sued Zeng Yike for failing to comply with the non-competition contract, and provided a large amount of evidence."
Chen Mengchuan frowned. Among the more than 200 cute girls in the Tianzhi Search engine, more than 70 of them came from Baidu.
"What evidence?" Chen Mengchuan asked.
"Tianzhi Search has launched an image search algorithm. Many of the algorithms are very similar to Baidu's algorithm. And some of the search rules are highly similar to Baidu's search engine. But this is not the most important thing." Xu Shuwei looked a little gloomy.
"Brother Xu, you say."
"There are some bugs in Tianzhi's image search algorithm, which cannot be circumvented and filtered very well for the time being. Therefore, a large number of pornographic images can be found through Tianzhi's image search. Because of this matter, Tianzhi's image search has been offline urgently. Now the girls in the search department are in a bad mood." Xu Shuwei sighed.
"How is this possible?" Chen Mengchuan asked.
"In the image search algorithm, there are some parts that cannot detect Ah Chen, especially many very normal keywords. When combined, a large number of pornographic pictures can be searched. Ah Chen will not filter or avoid these keywords." Xu Shuwei said.
Chen Mengchuan frowned. "I understand, offline Tianzhi Search's picture function, wait until I get back. Brother Xu, comfort these girls for me. In addition, let the cooperating lawyer team fight the lawsuit with Baidu Company to the end."
"Okay!"
"Hang up first. I'll call Zeng Yike." Chen Mengchuan hung up the phone after saying that and dialed Zeng Yike.
After the phone beeped several times, Zeng Yike picked up the phone.
"CEO Chen... I'm sorry..."
Chen Mengchuan interrupted her, "Don't say sorry to me. Give up the image search service for the time being. Let everyone focus on launching the 'Keyword Accurate Bidding Advertising Plan' immediately. Let everyone get started and start working on it immediately. I want to see you submit more than 3 plans to me as quickly as possible."
"Okay, CEO Chen." Zeng Yike took a deep breath and responded.
"This is one thing, and another thing is to issue an apology statement to the whole of China in the name of Tianzhi, and inform Tianzhi that it will launch an advertising plan, and will use 50% of all advertising revenue within one year after the official launch of the advertising plan to establish a Chinese education fund to help all poor students in China, as well as supporting teachers. You should go to Wanyu about this matter now and tell her that it is what I mean." Chen Mengchuan said.
"I understand, CEO Chen, I will take care of these things." Zeng Yike replied.
"I have already told Manager Xu about Baidu's lawsuit. He will arrange a team of lawyers working with the company to respond to the lawsuit. You can just cooperate with the subsequent arrangements." After the instructions, Chen Mengchuan hung up the phone and frowned slightly.
"In many places, Ah Chen still has algorithm blind spots... it's still not powerful enough." Chen Mengchuan said with a sigh.
Gu Xiaoxiao quickly asked about the situation, and Chen Mengchuan explained the general ins and outs of the matter using his own understanding.
"It seems Baidu is getting anxious." Toni said slowly, pushing up his glasses.
"I hope the Baidu executives have clearer heads, otherwise I don't mind throwing some big moves to eat them first." Chen Mengchuan said coldly.
Gu Xiaoxiao cursed a few words with some emotion, "This drug-selling fast food company has done a lot of harm to people. They should be killed as soon as possible. What happened again and again has harmed so many Chinese people."
Chen Mengchuan nodded. He also had the same emotions as Gu Xiaoxiao. When Baidu Company first appeared, it quickly became the largest search engine in China with its search engine technology that had a better understanding of Chinese Chinese. However, after developing step by step and growing stronger step by step, it had already lost its original intention and did one thing after another that made people indignant.
"It's time to end getting rid of some rotten things..." Chen Mengchuan murmured.
I will continue to blast out 4 chapters today, hoping to get support and recommendations.
