Chapter 371: Investing in Deepseek! Congratulations on becoming a father!!
Coming back from Gaoke,
Qin Han then received a message from Su Wanru that 50,000 graphics cards had been collected and that he could proceed with the next round of negotiations with Wen Feng.
Fifty thousand graphics cards finally played a significant role!
After several rounds of negotiations, Niu Niu Capital and Wenfeng finally reached an agreement that Deepin Qiusuo would be valued at 300 billion MiGold, and Niu Niu Capital would invest 60 billion MiGold to obtain a 20% stake in Deepin Qiusuo.
Among them, 100 H15 graphics cards were transferred to Deep Quest by Niu Niu Capital at a price of billion USD.
Finally, Niu Niu Capital paid another 45 billion RMB to Deep Quest!
This price is quite sincere.
In order to get these 50,000 graphics cards, Qin Han went on a shopping spree all over the world regardless of cost. As long as you have them, you name a price, and as long as it's not too outrageous, I'll take them.
According to the data provided by Su Wanru, these 100 H20 graphics cards consumed a total of billion MiGold.
Of course, the highlight is the in-depth valuation.
For this valuation, the two teams negotiated for a week, with each side expressing their opinions and exchanging sharp words.
One side is trying hard to raise the price, while the other side is trying hard to lower the price.
You come and go, it's so lively.
Qin Han also went to the first round of negotiations. Wen Feng asked Su Wanru to tell him that he wanted to see him, so he went.
At the beginning of the negotiation, Wenfeng said that OpenAI had just completed a new round of financing of 300 billion US dollars, and its latest valuation was 3000 billion US dollars.
3000 billion dollars in gold?
When Qin Han heard the price, he laughed.
He shook his head and smiled, "If Mr. Wen thinks that the deep search is worth 3000 billion MiGold, then I think we can end today's negotiations early."
"Then Mr. Qin, can you come to my office and sit for a while?" Wen Feng said with a smile.
And just like that, the first negotiation between the two sides ended in failure.
Qin Han went to Wenfeng's office and sat for a while, but neither of them talked about the financing.
In return, Wenfeng asked a lot of questions about Infinity Auto. Now is the Internet age, and nothing can be hidden. The previous change of leadership in Infinity Auto caused a lot of controversy, so Wenfeng naturally knew about it.
Qin Han answered all of Wen Feng's questions and even revealed the future development direction of Infinite Automobile.
Wenfeng expressed high recognition.
Then he asked about Gaoke. Gaoke had a new major shareholder, who was the new head of Infinity Auto. This matter also became a hot topic.
Wen Feng asked: "It seems that Mr. Qin is very optimistic about the new energy field. Is he going to show his skills? But why is he so persistent in his in-depth exploration?"
"No, I am not obsessed with deep exploration, but artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence will become quite mature one day. My investment in artificial intelligence now is investing in the future, which does not conflict with new energy vehicles. It's just that at present in China, only deep exploration has stood out, and I don't have many choices." Qin Han said.
Hearing this,
Wen Feng burst into laughter, "Boss Qin is quite straightforward."
"Haha, I'm just telling the truth."
After laughing, Wenfeng took the initiative to talk about DS's development plan. Qin Han listened very seriously, but did not express any opinion.
The two chatted for a while, Wenfeng hosted a banquet for Qin Han, and then they left.
Qin Han did not participate in the second negotiation.
The person in charge of the negotiations is Liu Li, who is the apparent helmsman of Niu Niu Capital. Her presence is significant enough and can also express sincerity. She is also equal to Wen Feng and is not inferior to anyone in momentum.
Of course, although Qin Han did not go, he had a psychological price for Liu Li.
Competing with OpenAI's 3000 billion RMB?
This is definitely impossible!
Although DS is very powerful now and has significant training cost advantages, its R1 model training cost is only US$557.6 million, less than 1/10 of OpenAI's similar model, and its API pricing is 1/30 of OpenAI's.
However, compared with OpenAI, DS as a whole still has many shortcomings.
For example: OpenAI's GPT-5 has achieved multimodal interaction, while DeepSeek has not yet disclosed similar progress.
DS still lacks public financial data. Its revenue mainly depends on API subscriptions (estimated annual revenue is about US$6000 million). It has not yet achieved profitability. At the same time, intensified industry competition (such as ByteDance and Alibaba Qianwen) may squeeze its market share.
The most important thing is that DS currently lacks technical breadth.
Its multimodal capabilities are concentrated in text-image-speech fusion. There have been no breakthroughs in areas such as video generation and 3D modeling, and there is a generation gap with OpenAI's Sora.
Therefore, Wenfeng’s idea of valuing DeepQuest at 3000 billion RMB is just a pipe dream!
It turns out that
Wenfeng himself was also very aware of the various shortcomings of DS at present. During the second negotiation between the two parties, he directly gave up 1000 billion and offered 2000 billion MiGold.
Liu Li was also very ruthless, she cut directly at the instep.
——200 billion meters of gold!
The two sides argued back and forth on the topic of '2000 billion and 200 billion' for a whole morning, and the negotiations were declared over and will continue another day.
After a week of arguing, the two sides finally reached an agreement.
300 billion meters of gold!
Qin Han finally got his wish and participated in the field of artificial intelligence.
45 billion MiGold is just a drop in the bucket for him now.
In order to show his confidence and flex his muscles, Qin Han asked the finance department to transfer the money directly. After the money arrived, Wen Feng immediately called to express his gratitude, and took the initiative to invite Qin Han to join the board of directors, saying that he would nominate Qin Han to join the board of directors.
In response, Qin Han said that he would not go and would send a representative instead.
After learning that Qin Han would not go, Wen Feng said that Qin Han could send someone to the company to take up a management position, and Qin Han readily agreed.
This initiative to let him place a spy in the company was naturally a gesture of goodwill, and there was no reason for Qin Han to refuse.
After reaching a cooperation with Deep Quest, Lei Jun called personally the next day and invited Qin Han to visit the headquarters of the Rice Group again.
Qin Han was overjoyed, knowing that Lei Jun must have agreed to the cooperation between the two parties.
as predicted,
When Qin Han arrived at the Rice Group the next day, Lei Jun's smile was even brighter than last time. After sitting down in the office, Lei Jun's first words were: "Mr. Qin, I wish us a happy cooperation in advance!"
Qin Han reached out and held his hand tightly, and said with a smile: "Boss Lei will definitely not regret the decision he made today!"
"I believe so!" said Reeves.
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Now that the tone has been set, the next thing will be easy to handle. It is nothing more than a detailed discussion of the specific cooperation matters, how to implement the cooperation, how to supervise and avoid internal friction, etc.
All of this has a prerequisite, that is investment.
There must be investment. Without investment, this cooperation cannot be carried out at all.
Take smart driving as an example.
Lei Jun proposed that the two sides jointly establish a research center, which would be jointly managed and the results would be shared.
For the initial R&D funding, both parties will each receive 50 billion, with a total research funding of 100 billion in the first phase.
And battery safety.
The two parties will then jointly establish a battery research center, which will be jointly managed and the results will be shared.
Like smart driving, the total research funding for the first phase is 100 billion.
Qin Han agreed to the proposal of the Intelligent Driving Research Center, but he had different opinions on battery safety. He told Lei Jun that he is still a major shareholder of Gaoke.
Lei Jun naturally knew about this matter.
But he made it clear that he was unwilling to let Gaoke get involved, because Gaoke was a battery manufacturer and it would make no sense for it to turn away customers if it was open for business.
If Gaoke is allowed to participate, then Gaoke will naturally have the right to enjoy the results of future research.
But it is a battery manufacturer, which means that other car manufacturers also have the right to enjoy it.
In that case, wouldn’t the core competitiveness of rice be greatly weakened?
Qin Han naturally understood his concerns, but he believed that neither Dami nor Infinite Auto were the most professional in batteries, and Gaoke was the professional.
If two outsiders work in isolation, neither the efficiency nor the final research results will be satisfactory.
Instead of doing that, why not bring in a professional?
But Lei Jun is Lei Jun after all. After seeing that Qin Han insisted on getting Gaoke to join, he immediately suggested that if the battery research center develops new technologies in the future, Gaoke should adopt them.
Then you have to pay certain patent fees!
The proceeds from the patent will be divided equally among the three companies!
Qin Han readily agreed.
In addition to these two aspects, the two companies also share the national after-sales service network. Both parties are responsible for personnel training, outlet decoration, employee salaries, personnel replenishment, etc.
That is to say, there is an Infinite Auto after-sales service center in place A. If Dami Auto wants to share it, it needs to decorate it by itself, train the Infinite Auto maintenance workers by itself, and also add a certain number of personnel to the service center later.
In other words, both parties help each other through a period of time in the early stages.
And there is,
Infinite Car's charging network is fully open to Rice Cars.
Etc., etc.
Both of them only discussed the general direction. After the general direction was determined, they handed it over to the people below to refine it and thus formulate specific implementation plans.
It is worth mentioning that supervision.
This is related to whether the two parties can continue to cooperate and whether they can continue to cooperate happily.
Qin Han and Lei Bushi both attach great importance to this!
After some communication, the two decided to set up a supervisory committee. The main responsibilities of this supervisory committee are to supervise after-sales service outlets, intelligent driving research centers, and battery research centers across the country.
If there is any situation of mutual shirking of responsibility, internal disputes, or mutual attacks, they will be dealt with seriously.
This supervisory committee is directly led and managed by Qin Han and Lei Jun.
Qin Han stayed in the capital for two days before returning to the Magic City.
After being out and about for several days in a row, with only Shen Lan by my side, I got a little bored of eating the same dish for so long.
So, as soon as he got off the plane in Shanghai, he went straight home.
The women at home are already crying out for food...
But unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the house, Qin Han was stunned.
It's not that the house was robbed, there were Huangmao in the house, but there were some cartoon decorations in the house, or to be more precise, children's things, and there were a lot of baby picture books on the coffee table.
Seeing this, Qin Han was confused.
What happened while I was away from home?
Upon learning that he was back, Wu Manni was the first to go downstairs and said sourly, "Congratulations~"
"Congratulations on what? Why do you keep these picture albums at home?" Qin Han asked curiously.
Wu Manni curled her lips and snorted, "Don't ask me."
嗐?
This is against the will of heaven.
Qin Han glared at her and said angrily, "Come here and stick your head out! You want to be punished, right?"
"Hmph, if you dare to hit me, I will hit your son in the future!" Wu Manni threatened.
Qin Han was stunned. "What do you mean my son?"
At this time, Li Zhishan walked down from upstairs slowly and leisurely. Not only did she walk very slowly, she also held the railing with one hand and stroked her belly with the other hand.
This action stunned Qin Han!
When I saw the deep maternal glow on Li Zhishan's face again...
A bolt of thunder exploded in Qin Han's head. His eyes suddenly widened and his whole body went numb.
No way?
Is this pregnancy?
"My dear, you are finally back~ I have great news to tell you!"
Li Zhishan smiled and took Qin Han's hand and put it on her belly, then said with a smile: "Honey, congratulations, you are going to be a father!"
I rely on!
really!
Qin Han's breathing suddenly became a little rapid. Touching Li Zhishan's belly through her clothes, he could vaguely feel a sense of familiarity.
It is so mysterious that it is beyond description.
Is this the blood induction?
Then, he felt a little funny again, thinking that this must be his imagination.
"Honey, why don't you speak? Are you unhappy?"
"Of course I'm happy."
"So you're shocked? Hahaha~"
"How many months?"
"Just one month."
Qin Han had never been a real father. When he learned that Li Zhishan was pregnant, he was completely excited.
"Then stop standing and sit down. I heard that the first three months of pregnancy are the most dangerous for women, so you need to be careful."
He quickly helped Li Zhishan sit down on the sofa and put a pillow behind her waist.
Then he continued, "From now on, you don't have to do anything. Just stay at home and take care of your baby. Do you hear me?"
"Then it would be very boring for me to stay at home all the time~" Li Zhishan said coquettishly.
Wu Manni next to her rolled her eyes.
Qin Han smiled and said, "You can go out for a walk if you're bored, but don't get tired, and don't drive yourself. Let Su Yao and the others drive."
"how about you?"
"I...I will try my best to spend time with you. Wherever you want to go, I will take you there!"
"Hee hee~"
Li Zhishan laughed and kissed Qin Han on the face, "Honey, you are so good to me."
Wu Manni really couldn't stand it anymore and teased, "Alright, alright, you're being so hypocritical. It's just a pregnancy, if you don't know, you'd think you were the queen mother!"
"I'm not the empress dowager, I'm the queen mother. Nini, jealousy will give you wrinkles~~hahaha~" Li Zhishan smiled proudly.
"..."
Wu Manni was speechless.
Is she jealous?
Although she didn't want to admit it, but seeing Li Zhishan's face full of maternal radiance, she felt really sad and wished she could take her place.
"Hmph! You should take a rest."
Wu Manni pulled Qin Han's arm and said in a tender voice, "Honey, the bath water is ready. Let me rub your back."
Qin Han really wanted to take a shower, so he stood up and followed Wu Manni upstairs.
Li Zhishan stared blankly. She was pregnant now and couldn't do anything...
