WSJ: Google is interested in the source code company of the new intelligent voice assistant company and expressed its intention to acquire it.
New York Times: Xiaoyuan voice assistant from Xia Guo is not acclimatized. She ate 30% of Europe in one breath, and the utilization rate is far higher than Apple's Siri. As the old owner of Android system, Google is ready to pocket Xiaoyuan's voice assistant.
BBC: in the European market, Xiaoyuan's voice assistant clashed with Siri. Xiaoyuan won completely. Many users gave up apple and went to Warwick camp. Google showed a strong interest in Xiaoyuan's voice assistant.
The times: because Google released its authority, Xiaoyuan voice assistant has achieved great success in Europe, but Google said with the European information regulatory department that Xiaoyuan voice assistant still has serious defects in user privacy protection.
Google's first step is to shout to the media.
Here comes the wolf!
When Xiaoyuan's voice assistant achieved great success in Europe and was praised by all kinds of capital, the wolf came.
Zhou Xiao knows that this is another tough battle, which is far more difficult than Hopkins University's false accusation of origin technology stealing technology.
Zhou Xiao spent most of these days in the source code company and Ma Xin and others analyzing the situation in Europe.
Wang Kai has submitted the European Research Report to Zhou Xiao.
The research report is very interesting.
Many European users are used to using Xiaoyuan voice assistant, but if they choose between Xiaoyuan assistant and common software, they still choose common software.
Ma Xin said: "Google really wanted to start with Xiaoyuan's voice assistant, but I didn't expect Google to tell us with the media first."
Zhou Xiao put some reports on the table and said, "isn't this the usual practice of western capital? First, major capital companies successively announced the valuation of Xiaoyuan voice assistant, and then Google expressed interest. Is the next step about acquisition? "
Before Zhou Xiao finished his words, a heavy science and technology message popped up on the major consulting apps on the mobile phone.
Microblog: "heavy! Google seeks 10 billion meters to acquire Xiaoyuan voice assistant. "
Headline: "Google offered 10 billion meters to buy Xiaoyuan!"
Surging news: "Google has offered 10 billion meters, and Xiaoyuan's voice assistant will change hands soon."
Ma Xin also saw the pop-up news and said angrily, "what does Google mean? Acquisition acquisition! Why don't we know about our acquisition? "
After seeing the news, Wang Kai, Xue Ninglu and others also felt that Google was completely unkind. Let's not say whether the acquisition was successful. You haven't talked about the source code company yet. Why should you publish the news! Moreover, the major capital of the United States valued Xiaoyuan's voice assistant at about $30 billion, and Google offered $10 billion. Isn't this humiliating!
Xue Ninglu turned off her mobile phone and said, "no wonder the boss said that Google was upset and kind to us to open up the European market. This is to see our performance in the European market, then set a price for us, and finally eat us!"
Ma Xin has worked in Warwick for many years and has long been familiar with the overbearing behavior of overseas capital.
"This kind of thing usually happens to small companies that have just gone abroad and have some development potential. If their own strength is not strong, it is easy to be eaten," he said
Zhou Xiao joked: "now Xiaoyuan's voice assistant is a beautiful yellow flower girl. If others want to QJ, do you have to say hello to you in advance?"
After everyone laughed, they couldn't be happy. Since Google spoke directly to the media rather than just talking.
After media reports, Google officially quoted a price for the source code company, no more than 10 billion meters, no more than one point.
In the acquisition plan, Google acquired all the overseas market share of Xiaoyuan voice assistant from the source code company, including the operation right of overseas market, the design of server and voice assistant, the underlying code and algorithm, etc.
The wolf showed his tusks without concealment.
Google is interested in the core technology of Xiaoyuan voice assistant, a source code company - artificial intelligence!
Although the source code company never said it was an artificial intelligence R & D company, everything Xiaoyuan voice assistant showed undoubtedly shows that its artificial intelligence is very strong, and its intelligence level even exceeds that of some artificial intelligence laboratories in the United States and Europe.
Google's official acquisition letter was given not only to the source code company, but also to Warwick.
The acquisition letter mentioned that after Google completes the acquisition of Xiaoyuan voice assistant, the profit sharing between Huawei and Huawei will be based on the profit sharing between source code company and Huawei, and the only service life of voice assistant signed between Huawei and source code company will also be protected (one year).
But a year later, Google will have the right to use voice assistant on Google's own phones and even other brand phones.
At that time, Warwick's competitiveness will be greatly reduced.
In Google's mobile phones, although the sales volume of pixel is relatively poor, it is a real son, and Xiaoyuan voice assistant will be equipped in the future.
Samsung is a dry son. We must also carry Xiaoyuan's voice assistant.
As for Xiaguo mobile phone brands such as Warwick, Xiaomi and blue-green manufacturers, they are outsiders. You can use them in the overseas market in the future.
Yu Jiangdong contacted Zhou Xiao immediately after seeing the acquisition letter.
He expected Google's action, but he didn't expect Google's action to be so fast. Yu Jiangdong was worried about it.
If Google acquired Xiaoyuan voice assistant, Warwick's chip and voice assistant will be stuck by Americans, which will undoubtedly make things worse!
Zhou Xiao replied, "the source code company is studying the acquisition."
Without an accurate reply, Yu Jiangdong was very upset.
Yu Jiangdong said, "President Zhou, if your company encounters any difficulties, Warwick will do its best to help."
Yu Jiangdong has said this very bluntly, that is, he hopes that the source code company will not sell the source code company at a low price because of lack of funds.
After hanging up the phone, Xue Ninglu came over and said.
"President Zhou and President Ma, many reporters called to inquire about Google's acquisition of Xiaoyuan voice assistant, and many continue to hope to interview us."
Zhou Xiao said, "I don't know."
This is the first card of Google. It didn't play against A. what's the hurry?
Zhou Xiao is going to ignore Google's acquisition request. Do you say the acquisition is the acquisition? The source code company is not a street girl.
Xue Ninglu replied to reporters one by one and wrote on the company's official website and official microblog:
"The source code company has not received the cooperation from Google and has no knowledge of the news circulating on the Internet..."
The employees of the source code company are also somewhat impetuous. Most of them are just college students who have just graduated from work, and there is no pattern of Zhou Xia and Ma Xin.
They were shocked to see the news that Google bought Xiaoyuan with a 10 billion meter knife! Although the 10 billion meter knife is more than many valuations, it is also a very terrible acquisition amount!
