Chapter 2036 Poison Pill Project
Hinton's question, no standard answer.
Li Rui thought for a while before carefully speaking, "The first thing is to install a special seat belt for the private plane. You have to know that even if you take a private plane, you must wear a seat belt in order to avoid dangers during takeoff and landing. So I specially designed this set of standing seat belts for you. Is there any paper or pen?"
Hinton opened his mouth wide in surprise. He never dreamed that Li Rui would give such an answer.
Alex handed over the pencil and paper.
Li Rui was drawn on the paper with great enthusiasm: "I will customize a bed fixed on the plane. When the professor was riding, he lie on the bed first, and then fix it with a seat belt... You see, it is probably like this, which is both comfortable and safe."
Hinton couldn't help saying, "This is the first thing you have to do? It's not to ask us to develop what kind of technology, but to invent a safety bed lying on a plane?"
Li Rui smiled and said, "What kind of technology should be developed? That's your business, and what I want to do is invest money and make you feel comfortable. That's all."
After answering the question, Li Rui left.
Hinton looked at the two students and said, "I have to admit that I was more inclined to accept Google's invitation, but I'm a little shaken now."
Alex said: "The people of Xiamen are indeed very sincere. Although I like Google more, since Ruidu is willing to give us the power to set up laboratories anywhere in the world, I don't think it's bad."
Irya spread his hands and said, "I will go wherever the professor goes."
Hinton said: "I'll notify Google that the auction is over and I'll announce my choice tomorrow."
Microsoft has withdrawn again at 41 million magnesium and has no intention of returning. The only real competitors are Google and Ruidu.
Hinton is of course more interested in Google, because he worked as a "summer intern" at Google this spring.
In fact, Hinton was recommended by Andy Ng, a scientist who left Google, and went to Google to provide some help for the "Google Brain" project.
Due to Google's special recruitment rules, Hinton could only enter Google as a summer intern. Although this title is a bit strange to a tenured professor at the University of Toronto in his sixties, that time still left a good impression on Hinton and made him form a friendship with Eustace and Dean. This is why Google sent Eustace and Dean to participate in the auction this time.
Especially Dean, a genius engineer who is particularly good at coordinating computer skills, Hinton and him cooperated very happily, which also planted seeds with tendencies in his heart until Li Rui's appearance.
Now Sinton is like a girl standing on the embroidery building, holding a hydrangea in her hand, looking at the two equally outstanding, understanding, and handsome, young and rich young people downstairs, and really don’t know who to choose.
If possible, he really wanted a woman to betroth two families, but this kind of thing was not feasible in both legal and moral terms. Even if it was feasible, the two young people probably would not agree!
About twenty minutes later, Hinton felt that he had made a decision.
He called Ilja and Alex to the balcony and had a final communication with them while watching the city scenery of Las Vegas.
"The price is only at 44 million magnesium. I will no longer ask for a higher price. This may make you lose a lot of money. I hope you can understand it." Hinton said.
Both students looked indifferent. For geniuses like them, it is already a good figure to make eight-digit money in their twenties. There seems to be no difference between a few million or a few million less, and they believe they can make more money in the future.
Hinton said: "We will distribute this money evenly."
"Wait, professor, we have different opinions." Iljad.
Alex said: "We have discussed it, and the equal distribution is not fair enough for you. We think that four to three may be a better distribution method, and you get 40%."
Hinton shook his head and said, "When I first started the company, I said that I would share the benefits I gained evenly."
"But without you, there would be no research from us, and you will have the greatest contribution." Iljado.
Hinton stared at them and suddenly laughed, "It should be that without you, there would be no research from us. Ilya, I still remember when I first met you, you were still an undergraduate student, earning living expenses at the fast food restaurant at the school gate."
Irya showed nostalgic expression: "That was nine years ago."
Hinton said: "Your eagle accent has a strong Eastern European flavor. At that time, your education level was far lower than other students, but it took you only a few weeks to reach the same level as them. You proposed to use a function optimizer to calculate backpropagation data, and reminded me not to train different neural networks to solve different problems, but to train a neural network to solve all problems. I must admit that you have the ability to quickly get conclusions through practice, which is exactly what I have lacked over the past years. It is you who helped me open the door to a new world."
Hinton said again: "And you, Alex. You are a genius software engineer. You can squeeze out all the computing power of GPUs. Without you, we can never complete the analysis of the data set."
"You are real geniuses, and you deserve a third of the gain." Hinton concluded at last.
But the two students still insisted on getting only 30% and letting Sinton get 40%.
"Professor, please be sure to assign according to our requirements. This reflects what kind of person we are!" the two said in unison.
Hinton smiled bitterly: "Okay, this does reflect what kind of person you are, but there is no way to reflect what kind of person I am..."
On November 2, 2012, at 9:00 am, Magnesium Time, Hinton sent emails of different content to Google and Ruidu at the same time, first announcing the end of the auction, the final price was fixed at 44 million magnesium. Then regretfully notified Google that their invitation was rejected and all relevant personnel from Ruidu were invited to the steak restaurant on the top floor of the Harrah Hotel. Professor Hinton wanted to treat steak to celebrate their success in cooperation. ωωw..net
The moment he received the email, Li Rui didn't know what Google was doing. Anyway, he hugged Yu Kai tightly.
Too difficult!
Li Rui didn't know what kind of storm this butterfly would set off.
Chapter completed!
