According to the contract, Meng Fanqi was originally able to continuously draw two percent of the project's profits based on the YOLO algorithm. Adding another one percent was indeed quite a lot, almost close to one-third.

Especially for government projects, a lot of manpower is needed, and the regulations in various aspects are also quite complex.

"However, Mr. Li, I am currently in Shanghai and I don't have the equipment on hand. I'm afraid the Shanghai branch of Baidu will have to prepare a bit." The Shanghai branch of Baidu? Meng Fanqi smiled with complex emotions. Could this be considered a kind of return to the old place?

"Shanghai? How did you end up over there?" Li Yanhong was initially puzzled, then suddenly realized that Meng Fanqi was not originally from Yanjing. Now, his studies and work have shifted to Silicon Valley, so it's strange for him to stay in Yanjing.

"I came to Shanghai and invested in a game company with a friend. I haven't left yet. If there's a chance in the future, I'll have to ask Mr. Li to help us with advertising."

This can only be considered polite conversation at best, but it still greatly boosted the confidence of the three founders of Mi Huoyou.

"No problem, this is absolutely no problem. As long as this government project is signed, the slots recommended by Baidu's games are not a problem at all." Li Yanhong was very clear about the priorities.

At this time, Baidu already had a branch in the Science and Technology Oasis on Tianlin Road in Shanghai, an address where Meng Fanqi had worked before his rebirth.

It's not far from Mi Huoyou's address, about two subway stops away.

Li Yanhong promised to have everything prepared over there later, and Meng Fanqi agreed. He would spend two or three days starting tomorrow to help Baidu solve some of the difficulties and needs encountered in the government project.

From a personal perspective, Meng Fanqi believed that Baidu had the ability and capability to solve these problems on its own.

It's just that the breakthrough and practical value of the real-time detection algorithm made Li Yanhong too eager to prove that his choice in the AI direction was correct and wise.

Too much attention was focused on negotiating projects and meeting business needs, and professional personnel lacked enough time and energy to fully understand the underlying principles of Meng Fanqi's method.

In the short term, it was naturally impossible to come up with a solution.

Meng Fanqi had already mentioned one of the later mainstream and effective methods just now, which was the SORT algorithm from 2016-2017.

It uses an online tracking method and does not use information from future frames, making it suitable for operation at a high FPS, which is very suitable to be paired with the YOLO algorithm.

From 2018 to 2020, SORT+YOLO became the standard for many real-time methods.

Its main contribution is to change the two-stage matching to a one-stage method, and like the core logic of YOLO, it achieves real-time and rapid predictive reasoning by simplifying steps and processes.

Meng Fanqi believed that if he was talking to himself, he could make Wang Haifeng understand the main logic of this method in about 30 minutes to an hour, as long as he didn't keep anything to himself.

Unfortunately, he was talking to Li Yanhong, who had less of a focus on the algorithm and technology, and was more eager to secure the government project, a big piece of cake.

"I'm very happy that we were able to reach an agreement smoothly today. Let's keep in touch if there's anything in the future." Meng Fanqi was not planning to get involved in Mi Huoyou's affairs at all, and he didn't even want any actual shares. He came purely for the money.

Since the goal had been achieved, there was no need to stay any longer.

As for the matters related to the two-dimensional world, even if there were any issues in the future, he would leave it to Tang Huang, who had actual shares. He really didn't understand that area and had no intention of paying attention to it. It was enough to focus on making money.

"Things went much smoother than I expected, so there shouldn't be much to do for now." Meng Fanqi had originally thought it would take a few days.

However, thanks to his close relationship with Baidu and Google, this investment went extremely smoothly.

"Then let's meet again after the New Year. I'll continue to study related knowledge and practice coding in the next few months, so I won't hold you back."

Tang Huang was the most involved in Meng Fanqi's affairs due to his dissatisfaction with his major and his plans to go abroad. He even sponsored the high-end computer that was initially used to implement all the algorithms.

In addition, he was the only classmate who would soon be going to the United States with Meng Fanqi. While Tang Huang was grateful, he also felt a lot of pressure and was very anxious.

He felt that he was not worthy and could be replaced at any time, and he couldn't hold onto this strong thigh.

He never expected that he held a special place in Meng Fanqi's heart, and that he was the one who truly guided the "AI genius" Meng Fanqi onto the path of AI.

But Meng Fanqi didn't show anything, and he believed that keeping Tang Huang in a nervous state and encouraging him to study and practice more was a good thing.

Leaving that aside, his level of effort in the past few months was unprecedented.

With so many geniuses in Silicon Valley, Tang Huang would truly struggle if he didn't work hard. It would be very difficult for Meng Fanqi to let him share some of the pressure in the future.

Meng Fanqi had already given him a great opportunity, but it still depended on how much effort Tang Huang was willing to put in.

After dealing with Mi Huoyou's affairs, Tang Huang directly took the high-speed train and left Shanghai, returning to his hometown in Anhui Province.

Nowadays, transportation is convenient, and it's only a three to four-hour journey.

Meng Fanqi planned to stay in Shanghai for a while longer and then return to his hometown to visit his parents after Christmas.

Since discussing cooperation with Li Yanhong, Meng Fanqi had unconsciously not done much actual work for about a month.

Negotiating contracts, doing demonstrations, modifying code, attending a conference in Australia, and playing for a few days. It was good to establish a cooperative relationship with two tech giants, but he still needed to be constantly vigilant. He needed to have enough technological innovation and breakthroughs, which were the foundation of his early success.

At present, these things were far from enough.After planning to leave Yan Jing, Meng Fanqi had some extra money and bought a 2013 version of an Apple notebook so that he could work anytime.

At this moment, he found a nearby coffee shop and sat down alone, starting to organize the development plan for the next ten days on his notebook.

First, he needed to quickly solve two or three requirements from Baidu, which shouldn't take too long, at most 3 days.

Meng Fanqi already had a specific idea about this, so there shouldn't be any problems.

The remaining time, he needed to go to Google Shanghai to fine-tune the recommended and advertising algorithms.

"Google's advertising revenue is over 20 billion dollars in a quarter, so this matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later."

Although the commission period is fixed, getting a few billion dollars a few months earlier or later makes a big difference.

If Meng Fanqi already had a quarter's worth of commission in his hands, then the shares he could pick up on this trip to Shanghai would be far more than just Mi Huyou.

This experience made Meng Fanqi feel a little urgency.

Without money on hand, the opportunities he remembered would be wasted one by one.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt full of energy and started coding with high spirits.

At this moment, his phone vibrated, and when he opened it, it was a WeChat message from Wang Kai, "Bro, can you take me with you?"
