Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 413: Even Microsoft Invested

When Dugar said this, Chen Yiyang’s expression finally changed.

A tech company that can secure a $250 million investment in a Series D round can be considered a unicorn-level tech company.

Behind this level of financing are definitely several major institutions collectively optimistic.

Not to mention a top tech company like Microsoft also participated in the investment, indicating that the company’s technical strength is definitely strong and not a company that just creates hype.

"I’m sorry." Chen Yiyang’s attitude finally softened.

He said apologetically to Dugar, "I’ve been very busy lately and haven’t really paid attention to the tech industry. What aspect of AI technology does your company mainly research?"

"AI programming," Dugar said proudly, "Our company’s AI technology can help users get the code they want using AI, whether it’s software, web pages, or various plugins. Users just need to input their requirements, and we can create the program they want for them."

After Dugar finished speaking, Chen Yiyang took a deep breath.

Although he doesn’t really understand AI-related technology, he still roughly knows the current state of AI technology development.

Currently, the top AI in the country is still able to help users collect information and then write simple documents and content.

Don’t even mention AI programming; even getting AI to draw a desired picture requires a lot of training time.

Yet this Indian guy said their company’s AI has already started helping clients with programming.

The technological gap here is even greater than the gap between deepseek and other AI large models.

"How is your company’s annual income now? Do you have many users?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously.

"Last year, we earned a total of $150 million, and as for user numbers, we currently have tens of thousands of paying users from all over the world." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Did you come to see me just to talk about these things?" Chen Yiyang quickly asked the reason for the other party looking for him when he heard the Indian guy speak so enthusiastically.

"I want to invite you to serve as a senior advisor for our company," Dugar said without any concealment, "In a while, I will be talking with the person in charge of the Qatar National Sovereign Fund about investment issues.

But these Middle Eastern tycoons simply don’t understand technology, and I need a highly reputable person to endorse our company."

Chen Yiyang understood that this was about using his reputation to facilitate the other party in attracting investment.

Since deepseek’s sudden rise, many AI large models have appeared worldwide.

But none can achieve the kind of company and technology like deepseek that directly shook the entire U.S. stock tech sector after its appearance.

So Chen Yiyang and the deepseek team gradually became a benchmark in the AI field.

If they can get Chen Yiyang to join, build.ai can use Chen Yiyang’s reputation to increase its credibility and potential assessment when facing extremely wealthy, but not very tech-savvy investment institutions like national sovereign funds.

To be honest.

If it weren’t for this Dugar being Indian.

Chen Yiyang might have actually trusted him.

After all, Dugar spoke so eloquently, saying that although he’s Indian, he set up the company in London, United Kingdom.

And he himself even received awards like the British Entrepreneur of the Year, which are quite valuable.

Everything seemed very real and wonderful.

But at the same time, the image of Indians liking to boast and exaggerate is also deeply rooted in Chen Yiyang’s mind.

So he replied to Dugar saying he still needed to think it over.

However, Dugar himself was very confident. He handed his business card to Chen Yiyang and then told Chen Yiyang the website of his build.ai’s AI programming company, inviting Chen Yiyang to experience their company’s AI technical capabilities.

After the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia’s banquet ended, Chen Yiyang returned to the hotel, rested for a while, and then called Wen Liangfeng from deepseek.

"Chen, what’s up?" Wen Liangfeng said on the other end of the phone.

"It’s been a while since we last talked, just wanting to check how you’ve been."

"Don’t even mention it; it’s only gotten slightly better now. Before, whenever I went out, I’d be surrounded by people suddenly appearing and asking all sorts of questions."

"I heard you went back to your hometown some time ago, and the local area directly dispatched security personnel to protect you."

"Yeah, now that’s something to boast about. I never thought I would have such a reputation one day.

Finally understand why the Western Chu Overlord Xiang Yu would rather give up Guanzhong and return to Jiangdong. The feeling of returning home in glory is really great."

Once Wen Liangfeng talked about this, he became very excited.

After chit-chatting with Wen Liangfeng for a while, Chen Yiyang brought up the topic of Dugar and his build.ai company.

"The name sounds a bit familiar, wait, just remembered it."

As soon as Chen Yiyang mentioned the name, after thinking for a while, Wen Liangfeng decisively said, "Isn’t it that AI programming company?"

"That’s right," Chen Yiyang nodded and said, "He also told me that they have tens of thousands of users worldwide and that their company can basically meet most customer demands."

"Well, he’s telling the truth about that," Wen Liangfeng said, "I was wondering why that name sounded familiar.

Someone had recommended this company to me months ago, and I tried their program."

"How did it perform?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously.

"Performed too well," Wen Liangfeng gave Chen Yiyang an unexpected answer, "I gave my request in the middle of the night, and after running for several hours, this AI software actually provided me with a program made according to my request."

"Is the program usable?" Chen Yiyang inquired with concern.

"It’s usable, and the effect is quite good," Wen Liangfeng said, "The program fully met my requirements and could be used directly in work."

"About AI programming, wouldn’t it be prone to bugs?" Chen Yiyang was a little concerned.

He still felt that AI handling such extremely complex work would inevitably produce a lot of bugs and errors.

"No, the program they provided basically had no bugs and was ready to use, with a very mature overall structure."

"So, this company is very much worth investing in?" Chen Yiyang was quite surprised.

He felt he needed to apologize for his stereotypical impression of Indians.

"No, no, no, quite the opposite," Wen Liangfeng said, "Precisely because the programs given by this company’s AI are so good, I carefully studied the other party’s code.

Even though there weren’t any problems with the code, in some details, it very much resembles the common practices of Indian programming engineers, and only engineers who learned those techniques in India would use these tricks to fool their bosses."

"You mean?" A bold idea popped into Chen Yiyang’s mind.

But the thought was too outrageous and bold for him to be sure.

"Just as you think," Wen Liangfeng said, "I suspect this company has hired many engineers in India to pretend to be AI to help clients complete programming."
