Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 755 This world is finally getting interesting.
The men are responsible for earning money and supporting the family in China, while the women are responsible for looking beautiful while raising children abroad, and occasionally engaging in psychological manipulation.

Whenever a man gets furious, a woman always brings up old proverbs and incantations as a form of self-imposed restraint.
"If I hadn't fully supported you back then and tried every means to persuade you to return to China, you'd just be an ordinary Silicon Valley programmer now. Where would you get your billions? Now you think you're all grown up, huh? Daring to yell at me."

Then comes the mental exhaustion, and the cycle repeats itself.

He acknowledged the kindness shown to him.

Indeed, without her perseverance back then, she wouldn't be who she is today.

But more than a decade has passed, and time and time again, his business decisions have proven that his vision was correct, but there are always people holding him back.

He was the one who saw the opportunity first, but it was always someone else who took off last.

There were always people in the company tugging at his clothes, afraid that he would fly too high.

For more than a decade, he was aware of some of the dirty deeds behind the company, but he always turned a blind eye. Isn't this favor enough to repay?
The affection between husband and wife? It had long since vanished after more than a decade of living apart and rarely seeing each other. What remained were just familiar strangers mixed with self-interest.

The big argument we had in front of the board of directors last time became the fuse for a complete break.

Lu Qi's incident was just an excuse he gave himself.

I forgot when I saw this quote online.

Women only slow down the speed at which a man draws his sword.

Although this statement is extreme, it actually makes some sense now that I think about it.

Divorce is just the first step; there are many more troublesome and trivial matters to deal with afterward!

After making that phone call, Li Yanhong felt a sense of lightness throughout his body. After walking out of the gate of the Bi'an Science and Technology Park, he turned back to look at the large ship in the distance, and then turned and left.

The road ahead will be difficult.
But as long as the direction is right, he will keep going.

A few days later, in the garden downstairs from the 301 Hospital, sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows.

Lu Qi sat in a wheelchair with a thick document spread out on his lap, while Chen Mo slowly pushed the wheelchair from behind.

"Whoosh—" Lu Qi turned a page, the paper trembling gently in the breeze.

His gaze lingered on the detailed cooperation proposal:
"【I. Joint R&D of Underlying Technologies】"

Jointly build an AI open platform: Both parties can share resources on core technologies such as NLP (Natural Language Processing), speech recognition, and computer vision, and gradually develop and jointly build a cross-industry AI platform based on this.

High-performance computing resource sharing: Baidu AI chip (Kunlun) is combined with Beyond Cloud computing power to reduce AI training costs, share resources, and compete with foreign technology companies such as Google and Amazon.

II. Commercialization in Vertical Sectors

Empowering the content system of the other side:

Baidu Search provides technical support and can deeply integrate with other products (WeChat Official Accounts & Mini Programs, Toutiao, Douyin, JD.com, etc.) to help with semantic search and personalized recommendations.

Beyond Video/Music integrates Baidu's speech synthesis technology to optimize UGC content production.

Fintech:

Baidu's risk control model collaborates with WeBank (WeChat Credit) to improve credit assessment efficiency and reduce risk;
WeChat Pay is partnering with Baidu AI customer service (such as DuerOS) to create an intelligent financial service chain.

III. Exploring Emerging Technology Scenarios

Medical AI: Baidu Medical Brain (which has already deployed AI-assisted diagnosis) shares medical imaging data with Beyond and jointly develops technologies to tackle early cancer screening, bringing benefits to the health of the Chinese people.

Autonomous Driving & Map Ecosystem: Apollo Open Platform integrates with AutoNavi (a subsidiary of Beyond) to jointly develop a vehicle networking OS;

WeChat Mini Programs serve as a lightweight in-vehicle application entry point, deeply integrated with Baidu DuerOS voice interaction.
IV. Cooperation and Complementarity, Joint External Action

Data and traffic complement each other: Baidu search data + Beyond social data build a comprehensive user profile.
Data privacy barrier isolation mechanism, benefit distribution, initial draft, strategic mutual trust guidelines.

Lu Qi is looking at the cooperation plan that Li Yanhong told him about before. Chen Mo wants to hear the opinion of this newly promoted senior consultant from the other side.
Lu Qi could see something deeper in this technical solution. If this cooperation comes to fruition, it could change the landscape of China's internet industry once again, elevating the business of Beyond Group to a whole new level in almost every dimension, while also boosting Baidu's growth.

Whether it's Lao Ma, Chen Mo, Robin, or him, people like them have a vague premonition of the future development of the Internet, just like when mobile Internet came. But when everyone's predictions based on their resources and information channels are consistent, then the future trend will be roughly the same.

For example, the potential of AI is a powerful tool that can change productivity and production relations.

"The plan is good; it's a win-win situation and a powerful alliance. Now it's up to Robin's courage," Lu Qi said to the new boss beside him.

Actually, he provided many suggestions for this plan, but there's no need to mention that.

"Right, Robin was acting all mysterious back then, saying it depended on his sincerity. Normally, I wouldn't believe a word of it, but his mental state was a bit different."

"Robin is capable. If Baidu can return to its original aspirations and become a technology company with engineers at its core, I think cooperation is still possible."

"Then let's wait and see. You take good care of your injury, and I'll come to see you again in a while."

"Remember to grant me access when you get back. Right now, I just have difficulty walking and want to observe the overall development on the other side from an outsider's perspective."

"I can definitely meet your request. What boss doesn't like employees who love their work?"

Chen Mo was joking when his phone rang. He answered it in front of Lu Qi.

The smile on Chen Mo's face vanished, as if he had heard something.
"What happened? Ma Dong what?"
"Fuck!!! You're awesome!"

Chen Mo, like a rusty puppet, slowly turned his head and said to Lu Qi, "He actually got divorced!" Although Chen Mo did not mention his name, Lu Qi immediately understood who he was.

Lu Qi's unconsciously wide-open mouth betrayed his surprise. He hadn't noticed the slightest hint of this during his previous conversation with his old friend.

It seems every family has its own troubles, otherwise they wouldn't have driven him to this point.

Given my friend's character and personality, for him to make such a strong decision, well, the responsibility lies entirely with the woman.

Chen Mo recovered from his shock, his eyes shining. "I've considered all sorts of scenarios, but I never expected this guy to be so sincere. A man who can put everything aside to pursue his career, it seems I really have to cooperate with him now."

"I suggest we wait and see. Divorce is just a statement; we need to observe his actions afterward."

"Okay, I'll have someone keep an eye on that area. I'll go back to the company to double-check. You get some rest. Feel free to contact me via WeChat or phone if you need anything."

"Okay, take care, I won't see you off."

While waiting for the message to arrive at the company, Chen Mo leaned back in the back seat of the car, closed his eyes to rest, and sorted out the possible chain reactions that the message might have triggered.

The initial shock has passed, but the deeper shock lies in the fact that the world line is undergoing an irreversible shift.

The world has already changed a lot because of his intervention:

Xiaomi's development was at least three years ahead of the original timeline;

JD.com is no longer Taobao's follower, but a rival that can compete with it on equal footing;

Pang Donglai has ventured out of Henan and is quietly testing the waters in Beijing.
Employees of the Beyond Group enjoy industry-unique benefits, and the rights of food delivery riders and ride-hailing drivers are also protected...

These changes were all in his plan, including the transformation of the penguin, which was also within his expectations.

According to his original plan, Baidu would actually become a mere term. Unexpectedly, the most courageous person was the one he considered the most cowardly.

To be honest, Chen Mo admits that the incident just now had the biggest impact on him so far.

Li, whom he had always looked down upon, has actually gotten divorced?

It sounds unbelievable at first, but upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense.

Back when the "Wei Zexi incident" broke out and Beyond Search suddenly appeared, Baidu was facing an unprecedented crisis. There were rumors that Li Ge and his wife had a fierce argument at the board meeting.

That makes sense, after all, who is Brother Li? He was once a man who reached the top of the internet industry.

How could he be like an ordinary sly man, submissive, accepting whatever comes his way, enjoying it immensely, and never tiring of it?

Normal men ultimately have their bottom lines.

When interacting with a woman, there's always a bottom line in mind: as long as she doesn't do anything reckless, it's better to avoid trouble and just tolerate it.

But often the truth is that one party's repeated compromises and concessions only result in the other party's escalating demands and the sense of superiority derived from the test of obedience. Once the man realizes this, he complains, "So love will disappear?"

Once a woman repeatedly crosses the line, then sorry, if you can't tolerate it anymore, then there's no need to tolerate it any longer.

Historically, few husband-and-wife businesses have had a good ending, often succumbing to the tug-of-war between interests and power.

The website that sold books before also started as a husband-and-wife business. After the two sides broke up, a dramatic and tumultuous story unfolded, keeping countless netizens entertained with the gossip.

During the National Day holiday, even with his status, he couldn't reach Brother Li's feet in the pole vault, but he still fought head-on in all sorts of ways!

First, he smashed a glass during a public interview, startling the female host. Then, he wrote lengthy posts on Weibo, passionately accusing his partner of wrongdoing. Finally, he hired bodyguards to storm the company seal and steal it from his pants.

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone a person?

If they dared to do this during the National Day holiday, then Li Ge's choice makes sense.

A common man's anger can spill blood five steps away; an honest man's anger can easily lead to at least fifty deaths.
Just like on a public road inside a residential area, if a driver is inexplicably blocked by a group of people who honk their horns but won't let him pass, and they keep nagging and shouting, "Go ahead and run me over if you dare," or even smash his car.

As for why they did this, it was simply to turn public roads into their own private roads, so that they could park for free on both sides of the road and avoid being fined.

It's similar to robbing potatoes from farmers' homes; it's just taking advantage of the fact that the law doesn't punish everyone.

Who would have thought that if you walk too much at night, you might actually encounter a ghost? This driver, who believed in doing good deeds every day, being responsive to requests, and helping others unconditionally, stepped on the gas.

However, after fulfilling their request, the driver was puzzled. Why didn't they thank him? Instead, they ran away faster than rabbits.

These anecdotes were merely topics of conversation with Chen Tong during their leisure time.

It can only be said that if there were more people willing to go all out, there would be fewer shameless people, and society would be much quieter.

Now Brother Li is going all out, isn't he?
It suddenly became clear!

Thinking of this, Chen Mo took out a bottle of 82 Erguotou from the bar in the car, poured himself a drink, and unusually drank a small glass in broad daylight.

This toast is to Brother Li!
He tilted his head back and drank it all down, the spiciness going down his throat, just like the play itself—unexpected, yet exhilarating.

It should have been done a long time ago.

What's more interesting for a woman than pursuing a career?
