Not long after lunch, Tang Xiaoou's team came.

The group of four, in addition to Tang Xiaoou, also had his disciples Xu Li, Wang Xiaogang and Yang Fan.

Professor Tang is elegant and easy-going, unlike the straight men in science and technology schools, and his chat and laughter give people a very friendly feeling.

Among the three disciples, Xu Li also talked endlessly, no wonder he would become the CEO of Xiashang Technology in the future.

On behalf of the team, Xu Li gave a forward-looking report on the project.

There are a few points that Li Rui pays special attention to.

First, major technology companies around the world are investing in human and material resources to conduct artificial intelligence research, which is likely to be the next market trend.

Second, the artificial vision deep learning technology that Tang Xiaoou’s team is developing has many possibilities for implementation in the future, especially facial recognition technology, which has accumulated a lot of mature technologies.

The third is to predict the future application market, including security, finance, medical care, autonomous driving, e-commerce, consumer hardware, etc.

What he said is highly consistent with the future in Li Rui's memory.

In other words, although what Xu Li said now has the essence of bragging, science and engineering is different from liberal arts. liberal arts only bragging but not seeing real things. science and engineering really turns the bragging one by one into reality!

From this point of view, Li Rui, a liberal arts student, was very ashamed.

After Xu Li finished speaking, the team looked at Li Rui with anticipation.

As an emerging research project, they were not favored by capital.

Nowadays, capital is focusing on group buying, social networking and e-commerce, deep learning and artificial intelligence, can it bring traffic, can it bring profits, can it draw a pie for investors?

If you can't, go and have a rest, and when will it be enough, let's talk to me.

Capital is all greedy vampires. They never give timely help, they will only add icing on the cake.

Although Tang Xiaoou's team has the world's leading technical strength, it is almost impossible to obtain any external investment except for the research funds provided by the school.

So when they contacted Li Rui through Lian Sinian's channel, they were very excited and hoped to promote this cooperation.

Li Rui thought for a while and said, "Based on my optimistic view of the prospects of this project, investment is not a problem."

All of them were delighted.

Li Rui changed the subject and said, "Xingrui Capital is willing to become a venture capitalist for your team, but I have one condition."

"Please say it." Tang Xiaoou said.

Li Rui said: "I hope your team will not rush to leave the university laboratory and not rush to produce results. Instead, we will first develop basic theories and technical patents, and then start a business when the time is right."

Start a business now, the time is wrong.

The rise of artificial intelligence was not until Google's AlphaGo and Lee Sedol's century-old Go battle, and it was suddenly known to the world.

It was not until then that humans were shocked to realize that artificial intelligence could have shown self-evolution and learning ability far beyond humans in the most complex game of Go.

Artificial intelligence became famous in one battle, forming a strong market education and demonstration, thus driving the value of all related companies to soar.

After that, Internet technology accelerated its commercialization in sub-industry, creating an extremely rich application market, giving artificial intelligence a need to be implemented.

By that time, it will be the opportunity for Tang Xiaoou’s team to truly display its strength.

Tang Xiaoou's team was not resistant to this condition. They also understood that the project still had a long way to go before it was implemented. As long as the funds were in place, they were not different from continuing to do research in the laboratory and starting a company to do research.

Next was the negotiations on details, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement.

Li Rui invested HK$5 million and obtained 25% of the team's shares. In order to dilute the shareholding ratio in the subsequent financing, anti-dilution clauses were also agreed in the investment agreement.

The two parties agreed that Xingrui Capital has the right to subscribe first.

After the investment agreement is signed, if Tang Xiaoou's team continues to raise funds, it must notify Xingrui Capital in advance and specify the number, price and the intended subscriber of the newly issued shares. Xingrui Capital has the right but has no obligation to subscribe to the corresponding shares of the new shares on the same terms according to the shareholding ratio.

In this way, although Li Rui will continue to invest a lot of money in the future to ensure that the equity is not diluted, he can enjoy the future dividends to the greatest extent.

If Li Rui set out to the artificial intelligence track in the future, Tang Xiaoou's team will be a very important part of it.

If you don’t want to play, you can cash in or hold shares. After going public, the investment will become 25% of the market value of 200 billion yuan, which is 50 billion yuan. No matter how you calculate it, you will make a profit without losing money.

The investment was negotiated so that the details were left to professionals. Li Rui invited Tang Xiaoou and others to a nearby restaurant to hold a small celebration dinner. The guests and hosts enjoyed each other, and the work of the day was over.

I had a good sleep all night, but the next morning Li Rui was woken up by the sound of his cell phone vibrating.

First, he gently moved Chen Qinglian, who was sleeping in his arms to the side, and then Li Rui picked up the phone and took a look at it as a strange number from Hong Kong Island. He didn't want to answer it, but he was afraid that something would happen, so he answered it.

As soon as it was connected, a panic sound came from the microphone.

"Boss, the people from the East Kowloon Crime Team have come to the company and ask Mr. Chang to cooperate with the investigation and are in the conference room to question!"

Li Rui was stunned for a moment before he heard that it was Zhu Qianxue's voice, and he asked quickly: "Why did they come?"

"I don't know." Zhu Qianxue said.

"Don't worry, I'll arrive right away." Li Rui quickly got up and put on his clothes.

The Hong Kong Island office has no substantial business operations at all and cannot violate the law. Li Rui probably won’t have any major events.

However, when the matter involved the serious crime team, Li Rui had to think too much. Could it be that Chang Ou had done something behind her back?

Chen Qinglian was also awakened and asked him what had happened.

Li Rui smiled and said, "It's okay, keep sleeping. When you wake up, you'll clean up and dress up, and accompany me to the banquet tonight."

Li Rui called Lu Yong and took a taxi to the office.

When he arrived at the door, Zhu Qianxue was already waiting at the door. When he saw Li Rui, he stepped forward and said, "The person who came to the East Kowloon Serious Crime Team, with a total of four people. The person who led the team was Superintendent Xu Xiyi of the Serious Crime Team. They came to investigate a murder case. The case seemed to have no direct relationship with Mr. Chang, but just came to collect some evidence."

"Good done." Li Rui said approvingly.

Li Rui came to the door of the conference room and heard a voice inside, so he knocked on the door gently.

"Please come in." Chang Ou's voice sounded inside.

Li Rui pushed the door open and entered.

Chang Ou immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Li."

Then he said to a tall and elegant woman opposite, "Supervisor Xu, this is the boss of our Xingrui Capital, Mr. Li Rui. This is the Superintendent of the East Kowloon Crime Team, Xu Xiyi. She came here to ask me to assist in a murder case."

"Hello, Superintendent Xu, don't you know if I'm going to listen to it?" Li Rui asked.

Xu Xiyi said: "We are just routinely asking Mr. Chang a few questions, it doesn't matter."

Li Rui sat down and listened.

After hearing a few words, Li Rui realized that a corpse was found on Hong Kong Island a few days ago. Investigation revealed that the deceased was a private detective.

Chang Ou had hired this detective to conduct a commercial investigation before, and the Crime Team came here to know the situation at that time.

The case had nothing to do with Chang Ou. After answering a series of questions routinely, the several members of the Crime Team stood up and said goodbye.
Chapter completed!
