Counterattack starts with controlling probability

“Win-win, not control…” the CEO repeated, looking thoughtful.

The CFO asked directly: "If we need more resources in the future, will Noah be able to meet our needs?"

Li Hao nodded, his tone firm: "We not only have the ability, but we will also give priority to meeting your needs. Noah Technology's goal is to build a technology ecosystem, not an isolated business entity. This cooperation will be part of our technology ecosystem."

……

Li Hao finally won the tug-of-war.

After several rounds of negotiations, resource presentations, and prospect planning, the management of the AI ​​speech recognition company finally made a decision.

The CEO solemnly informed Li Hao: "We are impressed by Noah Technology's sincerity and long-term planning. We are willing to join Noah's ecosystem and jointly push the boundaries of AI technology."

When this news reached Noah Technology, the entire team was instantly excited.

The morale of the R&D team quickly rose, and those members who had previously doubted Li Hao also regained their confidence in this victory.

"Mr. Li is really amazing. He was able to turn the tide even under such great pressure!" A R&D staff member couldn't help but sigh.

"Now I completely trust Mr. Li's judgment. He can see the big picture that we can't see." Another technical director slammed the table, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Xu Lei, sitting nearby, breathed a sigh of relief and jokingly said, "This battle was truly thrilling. Brother Hao, I really should give you the 'Most Mental Quality Award.'"

Li Hao simply smiled faintly: "Now we need to start the cooperation plan as soon as possible, seamlessly connect Noah's ecosystem and voice recognition technology, and quickly seize the market."

In sharp contrast to the jubilant atmosphere at Noah Technology, the atmosphere within Baiyan Capital was as depressing as the deep sea before a storm.

"How could we fail?" Inside the White Rock Capital executive meeting room, the person in charge spoke sternly, his gaze sweeping across every attendee like a knife. "We invested so many resources, and in the end, Noah Technology got there first?"

A senior executive tried to explain: "Perhaps our strategy was a bit radical, causing AI voice recognition companies to become wary..."

"Radical?" The person in charge sneered. "Radicalism is a fundamental rule of the capital market! But failing is failure. There's no excuse."

His gaze finally fell on Wang Zhen: "As the person directly responsible for this matter, do you have anything to explain?"

Wang Zhen's face darkened, but he remained calm. "The AI ​​voice recognition company's decision is based on protecting its autonomy. Their distrust of us isn't a resource issue, but a strategic one."

"A strategic problem?" The person in charge snorted coldly, "In other words, you didn't execute it well!"

Wang Zhen gritted his teeth and finally lowered his head: "It's my responsibility."

"Very good." The person in charge said in a cold tone, "From today on, your project authority has been revoked. You must focus on completing the current tasks of chip research and development. You do not need to be involved in other matters."

Wang Zhen's expression instantly turned ugly, but he said nothing, only whispered, "Yes."

After the meeting, Wang Zhen walked out of the White Rock Capital headquarters alone. He stood in front of the building, looking at the busy streets with a complicated expression.

He has always known that Baiyan Capital only treats him as a pawn.

Since the acquisition, his every step has been controlled by others, and even the technical direction cannot be decided by himself.

Today's punishment made him feel completely depressed and helpless.

"Is this what I want?" he muttered to himself, clenching his fists.

At this moment, Li Hao's figure appeared in his mind.

That person not only won the competition, but also always held the dominant position in Noah Technology.

In contrast, I have become a tool that obeys capital.

Wang Zhen finally made a decision - he wanted to contact Li Hao again.

A few days later, Wang Zhen contacted Li Hao through private channels.

The two met in a low-key manner in a secret cafe.

Wang Zhen looked at Li Hao across from him, was silent for a moment, and then spoke first: "Congratulations, you win this time."

Li Hao smiled calmly, his eyes calm. "In the capital market, victory or defeat is temporary. You didn't come to me just to talk about this, did you?"

Wang Zhen looked directly at Li Hao, his eyes revealing a bit of struggle: "I want to return to the technology field and do something truly meaningful. Staying at White Rock Capital has made me lose sight of my original intention."

Li Hao raised his eyebrows: "You want to leave Baiyan Capital?"

Wang Zhen nodded, his tone firm: "Yes. If possible, I hope to join Noah Technology and regain the dominance of technology."

Li Hao did not agree immediately, but asked calmly: "Why should I believe you?"

Wang Zhen was silent for a moment, then took out a document and handed it to Li Hao: "This is part of Baiyan Capital's internal strategy document. It will give you a clearer understanding of their upcoming plans. I hope to use this to prove my sincerity."

Li Hao took the document and flipped through a few pages, his gaze gradually becoming profound. He closed the document and said calmly, "I accept your sincerity for now. But joining Noah Technology isn't something that can be resolved with just a promise. Your past requires some clarification and explanation."

Wang Zhen nodded: "I understand, I can prove it with my actions."

Li Hao stood up and extended his hand: "Then, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Wang Zhen held his hand, his eyes full of anticipation, but also a subtle look flashed across his face.

After returning to the company, Li Hao was not in a hurry to accept this "sincerity", but quickly handed the documents to Xu Lei.

"Brother Lei, please keep a close eye on this information. I need to know how credible it is."

Li Hao placed the document on the table, his tone cautious.

"If Wang Zhen's actions this time have a deeper meaning, then we must prepare for it."

Xu Lei nodded, a relaxed smile on his face. "Don't worry, Li Hao. I have my own way to verify the authenticity of this information."

Xu Lei took the documents back to his office, closed the door, and scanned the documents into a dedicated computer.

This computer is connected to some of his "private resources": technical forums, hacker communities, and the network of relationships he has accumulated from years of network attack and defense.

"Let's first see what loopholes there are in this file." Xu Lei muttered to himself, his fingers tapping on the keyboard quickly, breaking down the key information in the file into multiple levels.

First, he cross-verified some details of White Rock Capital's internal plans mentioned in the documents with information he obtained from other channels.

Especially some core content, such as Baiyan Capital’s goals in the capital market in the next stage and its plans for Noah Technology.

"Hmm, quite interesting." Xu Lei found that some of the information in the document was consistent with his previous investigation, such as the pressure points in Baiyan Capital's capital chain and recent attempts to damage Noah Technology's reputation.

But at the same time, he also found some problems: some details mentioned in the document were obviously inconsistent with the actual operations and seemed to have been "tampered with" in some way.

Next, Xu Lei dug deeper into the source of the document.

He used network monitoring tools to track the email exchanges between several senior executives of Baiyan mentioned in the document.

He soon discovered that although some of the content in the document seemed true, there were slight differences in the specific expression from Bai Yan's actual strategy.

"This is a half-true, half-false tactic. It's clever, but not cautious enough." Xu Lei sneered and recorded his analysis in a report, ready to hand it over to Li Hao.

The next day, Xu Lei came to Li Hao's office and placed the report on the table. "Li Hao, you're right to be cautious. There's truth and falsehood in the document. Some of the content does reveal White Rock Capital's actions, but some parts appear to be deliberately exaggerated."

Li Hao flipped through Xu Lei's report, his brows furrowed slightly. "What on earth is Wang Zhen trying to do? He's giving me useful information, but also mixing in some falsehoods. It seems he wants me to doubt his motives."

Xu Lei shrugged. "It's very likely that he's trying to test your reaction, or perhaps... Baiyan Capital doesn't fully trust him, and he wants to use this opportunity to gain a firm foothold."

Li Hao closed the file in deep thought. "Okay, since they want to test us, then we'll play along to the end. At least now I know that Baiyan Capital is indeed secretly stepping up its crackdown on Noah. We have to plan ahead."

Xu Lei nodded. "By the way, Brother Hao, do you want to use this opportunity to dig up more internal information about Baiyan Capital?"

Li Hao chuckled: "Don't be too anxious. Let's wait until the next time Wang Zhen and I meet and see how he performs."

At the same time, Wang Zhen returned to the headquarters of Baiyan Capital.

In the conference room, several senior executives were waiting for his report.

"Wang Zhen, how was the meeting with Li Hao this time?" A person in charge of Baiyan Capital asked coldly, with a scrutinizing tone.

Wang Zhen adjusted his tone and replied, "Everything went according to plan. I handed the document to Li Hao. He appeared cautious, but he ultimately accepted it. It seems he's come to believe that I'm on his side."

Another senior executive interjected, "Are you sure he didn't become suspicious?"

Wang Zhen smiled faintly. "Of course he'll have his doubts. But precisely because of this, he'll rely even more heavily on this information to assess the situation. As long as he acts according to our preconceived plan, he'll fall into our trap."

"Very good." The person in charge nodded, then his eyes turned cold. "However, Wang Zhen, you must not forget your current status. Any behavior that deviates from the norm will make you pay the price."

Wang Zhen's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "I understand."

After Wang Zhen left, several senior executives of Baiyan Capital continued their meeting.

"Can we really trust him?" a senior executive asked in a deep voice.

"We can't completely trust him." Another person shook his head. "But Wang Zhen's understanding of Noah Technology and his current situation force him to work for us. As long as his interests are tied to ours, he won't betray us easily."

"However, we need to be prepared for any eventuality," the person in charge said coldly. "If Wang Zhen truly has second thoughts, we must shut him up completely before he even opens his mouth."
