Monday, October 17th.
Pei Qian came to the company and sat for a while as usual, but no one came to the door.
He casually browsed the web page and suddenly remembered something. He quickly took out his phone and checked Ma Yang's Weibo.
As a result, Lao Ma’s Weibo was not updated all weekend!
Pei Qian is a little confused, what does this mean, Lao Ma has forgotten?
Going out for fun on the weekend? Not logged into Weibo at all?
But it’s impossible to think about it. Although Lao Ma always does things in three minutes, this time is too short. Three minutes have not passed yet. There is no reason for Lao Ma to be like this. Give up soon?
Then why didn’t you post a new Weibo post for two days over the weekend?
Pei Qian was afraid that there was something fishy here, so he quickly called Lao Ma.
"Hello? Brother Qian?" Lao Ma's voice came from the other end of the phone. He was very awake, not like he was sleeping.
Pei Qian knows very well that Lao Ma is not a person who likes to sleep in. Even in the winter, he can get up successfully even if he has classes in the morning.
Lao Ma is a hard-working bastard, so it is obviously very suspicious that he did not post a second Weibo post all weekend.
To Ma Yang, Pei Qian stopped playing around and asked directly: "How much money have you sent out so far?"
Ma Yang: " Not a penny has been paid."
Pei Qian was stunned: "Why?"
Ma Yang said matter-of-factly: "This is the dream fund I finally won. It’s Brother Qian who affirms my hard work! I have to see messages or reposts that really have dreams, so I can’t just give them casually!”
Pei Qian was dumbfounded.
So that’s the reason!
After Ma Yang posted that Weibo post, he has been reading the comments and reposts. Once he sees a more dreamy message, he will consider sending money.
But he only has so many followers on Weibo. Not many people have seen it. Those who have seen it don’t believe him and think he is lying. Even those who are doubtful don’t take it seriously. Write your own dreams.
So, none of these messages were of any interest to Lao Ma, so he didn’t pay these people a penny.
He doesn’t give money, and others think it’s just a liar pulling a stunt, and they won’t write comments seriously.
So it lasted the whole weekend.
Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of Lao Ma, I really have you!"
Pei Qian asked curiously: "Then why don't you emphasize it to everyone and let everyone write more dreamy comments?"
Ma Yang: "Then No! I am an official and serious internal employee of Tengda, so I can’t lose my status! Besides, I’m giving money. If I post another Weibo post to emphasize this, wouldn’t it look like I’m kneeling down to give them money? !"
"Believe it or not, let me see who the first lucky person is."
Pei Qian said silently.He raised his thumb and said, "Yes. In ancient times, there was Shang Yang who moved to Mu Lixin, and now there is Ma Yang who spreads coins on Weibo. They are all heroes among people."
When Shang Yang moved to Mu Lixin, there were also many people People gathered around to watch, but no one actually did it because no one believed it.
I don’t know why, but these two things are a little bit different.
Of course, Pei Qian couldn't tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
There is no risk if Lao Ma cannot become an Internet celebrity, but the money has not been spent!
So Pei Qian doesn’t know whether he should support or oppose this behavior.
After thinking about it, let Lao Ma decide for himself!
"Well, you are doing the right thing, continue to stick to your own ideas!"
After hanging up the phone, Pei Qian looked at the time and prepared to go to Outu Technology .
In the last cycle, Pei Qian spent a lot of money on Outu Technology, mainly on Outu Technology's newly established imaging and software laboratory.
In this cycle, Outu Technology’s previous research must produce a product, otherwise it will violate system rules.
Considering that the time in this cycle is relatively tight, Pei Qian feels that he still has to go and take a look to ensure that there is a product that can be produced without making a lot of money.
……
Outu Technology, conference room.
Changyou and the key employees of Outu Technology all arrived and began to report work.
"Mr. Pei, according to your previous work arrangement, our main tasks until January next year will be two."
"The first is to update a feature-rich version of ottoos , which includes many practical system functions, especially the adjustment of the camera system by the imaging laboratory.”
“For the new camera system, we have prepared some optimization algorithms, including providing users with selfies. Beauty effects, etc.”
“Moreover, we have reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Xunke Technology to develop our own intelligent voice assistant based on their artificial intelligence voice assistant, which should be able to Update to the new ottoos in time!”
“You know, currently only Pineapple’s flagship phone is equipped with this feature. If we can update to the ottoE1 phone first, it will definitely be very helpful to improve our Brand value! ”
“Secondly, we plan to create a smart speaker product for the new smart voice assistant. Currently, this field is still blank in China. If we can seize the opportunity, it will be a great success for us. Enriching our product line is definitely good news!"
A question mark slowly floated over Pei Qian's head.
?
Artificial intelligence voice assistant?
No, this was not included in the previous development plan, right?
Besides, this thing shouldn’t have appeared so early in China, right?
The latest flagship phone from Pineapple can use voice assistantThe reason is that Pineapple directly spent 200 million US dollars to acquire an artificial intelligence company whose main business is text chat services, and then cooperated with the world's largest speech recognition manufacturer to realize the speech recognition function.
And this is what just happened this year.
Because of the different languages, Pei Qian originally expected that it would take at least five years for a similar artificial intelligence voice assistant to appear in China.
But according to Chang You, this company called Xunke Technology seems to have been doing research in this area. It already has a relatively mature Chinese intelligent voice assistant. It can be modified on this basis. Use it directly!
Pei Qian suddenly felt a sense of crisis and thought of the special reward during settlement.
Could this be what the system calls a random technological breakthrough?
Is domestic technology in this area five years ahead of schedule? Are you directly on par with top foreign companies?
Pei Qian suddenly panicked, but after thinking about it calmly, he felt that things were not that bad.
These artificial intelligence voice assistants were quite retarded when they first came out. To say that artificial intelligence is flattering them can only be regarded as artificial retardation.
It will take at least another three to five years before the technology matures, so don’t be too nervous.
Of course, Pei Qian did not dare to take it lightly.
After all, this is a new trend. Although it is artificially retarded, it is still very attractive to consumers who have never seen the world. It is not ruled out that they will buy it like crazy. .
Thinking of this, Pei Qian asked tentatively: "In other words, there was no artificial intelligence voice assistant in the original development plan? It was because of the technological breakthrough from Xunke Technology that it was temporarily Decided to join in?"
"If that's the case, I think it's better to take it slow."
"There is still a lot of work in other areas, and I'm afraid you can't schedule it. Come, or affect the completion of other work."
Chang You smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei, it will definitely not happen!"
"We originally planned software and hardware. We worked on it together and wanted to release a new phone. But Mr. Pei said at the time that we would only do software and the phone should be released once a year, so we cut off all hardware research and development plans.”
"So, I just have some free time! It is very suitable to use it to make this artificial intelligence voice assistant belonging to ottoos!"
"So Mr. Pei, your idea is right, you must set aside time for research and development work A little rich, otherwise it will be difficult to seize this opportunity!"
Pei Qian: "..."
This is very embarrassing.
Could it be my fault again?
Every time he encountered this situation, Pei Qian wanted to go back to the previous cycle and beat himself up, but he couldn't.
It seems that this artificial intelligence voice assistant must be made.
Then enterNext topic.
Just think of a way to prevent this thing from succeeding!
In the current market environment, smart homes are available. For example, when Pei Qian asked Liang Qingfan to decorate the Sloth Apartment, lights, glass, etc., could be intelligently adjusted through the LCD panel.
But these things are actually quite rare. Because of their high cost, they are not practical for many people, so they are rarely installed in home decoration.
Had Pei Qian not wanted to raise the rent of the sloth apartment, he would not have thought of installing these things.
The same is true for artificial intelligence voice assistants on mobile phones. Not all are cheap. Only the flagship phones of certain manufacturers such as Pineapple phones are equipped with them. They are a hot topic.
If another smart speaker is released, it might be able to sell for a lot of money!
Pei Qian thought carefully and came up with a countermeasure.
But... where to start?
Let’s start with its name!
Pei Qian pondered for a moment and asked: "So...does this artificial intelligence voice system have a name?"
Chang You was stunned for a moment: "Oh, not yet. Why don't you give me a name, Mr. Pei?"
"I think Mr. Pei's names are very refined!"
Pei Qian nodded: "Then call it: Ai. "Is."
"The English name is AEEIS."
"Ais..." Chang You read it twice, "What's the meaning?"
Pei Qian explained: "It is the abbreviation of 'AnEffitandEffortlessIntelligentSystem', A.E.E.I.S."
Chang You suddenly realized: "'An efficient, labor-saving intelligent system'? What a name! Very appropriate!"< /p>
"As an intelligent voice assistant, its role is to help us save time, effort and improve efficiency. This name is so appropriate!"
Pei Qian smiled slightly.
In fact, the deep meaning of this name is the abbreviation of "AandEasygoingIntelligentSystem", which means "an elegant and easy-going intelligent system".
Everyone knows what it means to be elegant and easy-going.
As for why this name was chosen, of course it was because Pei Qian had already thought about how to arrange it.
