After careful consideration, Professor Kong Zhemin asked: "Can it be understood as an easy-to-understand popular science textbook for ordinary people?"
Yu Ping'an nodded: "Yes, it can be understood that way. . ”
“We use the Internet to allow more people to see this content and provide a more efficient search method.”
“At the same time, we are editing the content. We strive to be both too profound and professional for ordinary people to understand, and not too empty, vulgar and unnutritious."
"That's why I came to visit you and asked you to come out."
p>“You are not only a great figure in the industry, but also a professor loved by students. You also have rich experience in writing textbooks. With you here to check these contents, it will be absolutely foolproof.”
Professor Kong Zhemin had a little surprise on his face.
“It sounds like a great thing that will benefit the future.”
“However, this seems to be a very huge project.”
“Only in Chinese There are a large number of monographs on various professional courses, such as ancient literature, modern literature, foreign literature, etc. Even if they are compiled and simplified into encyclopedias, the content is beyond imagination. ”
"What's more, the scalable content of the Q&A section is unlimited. This is not something that can be completed in ten or eight years."
"I usually have to take care of graduate students, so I don't have that much time."
"If many people work together to do this, whether to pay and how to bear the cost... Mr. Yu, have you considered these issues?"
Yu Ping'an He was well prepared and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, Mr. Kong, we have already considered these issues."
"This project was decided by Mr. Pei of our Tengda Group. It can mobilize the entire All the resources of the group company will be used to protect it.”
“I also asked Mr. Pei this question about his workload. Mr. Pei’s answer was: The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, and the second was. It’s now. Because this is a huge project, it can’t be delayed. If it continues to be delayed, nothing will be accomplished.”
“Even if the content is incomplete in the early stage, as long as the information inside is useful. You can attract users.”
“As for manpower, you don’t have to worry. You are equivalent to the general person in charge of this professional field, and you only do the coordination and highest supervision. We will also hire some young people. Scholars, professors, and outstanding graduate students participate in these projects, and each is responsible for different divisions of labor."
"We will fully protect the intellectual property rights of creators, and at the same time set up a legal team to combat manuscript laundering and plagiarism. Protect the rights of creators."
"Creators will receive corresponding compensation every month based on their star rating and workload."
"As for the distribution of rewards, this is how it works. All members of APP' need to pay to browse, and we will charge based on usage time and number of views.10% is used as operating costs, 90% of which is returned to the creator in proportion. ”
“Of course, considering that there are not enough paid members in the early stage, we will provide a guaranteed remuneration for all creators. As long as the approved content in the month exceeds 10,000 words, you can get 2,000 yuan.” subsidy. ”
Professor Kong Zhemin was stunned for a moment: “Will this subsidy change with the number of words? "
Yu Pingan nodded: "Yes. ”
“Because this is streamlined knowledge, if the remuneration is linked to the number of words, there may be a slight overloading phenomenon. ”
“This subsidy is just a basic living guarantee, so that creators’ work will not be in vain in the early stages. ”
“Of course, this is not to encourage people to eat from a big pot and live in idleness. "
"After there are enough members on 'Useful APP', the income will definitely increase. We will determine the income of each department and each creator according to a relatively complex algorithm. The weight includes: creator star rating, number of views of written or modified content, initial creation of new entries, number and proportion of content likes, etc., to calculate the revenue share received by each section and each creator. ”
“This income is motivating. ”
Professor Kong Zhemin nodded slightly: “That’s quite reasonable.” ”
Domestic professors should be considered one of the groups with the largest income variance, but more than 90% of professors do not have much additional income besides salary and basic performance.
The annual salary of lecturers at Handong University is less than 100,000 yuan, and the annual salary of associate professors is less than 130,000 yuan.
Especially some professors in liberal arts majors who focus on academics are quite poor.
Although the two thousand yuan subsidy is not much, you can get it as long as you produce 10,000 words for a useful APP every month. After all, it is not as difficult as writing a paper. The main thing is to organize the existing knowledge.
Moreover, the content must pass the review to be effective, and there will be no unlimited watering, and the phenomenon of "spending money on garbage" will not occur.
Professor Kong Zhemin thought about it carefully: "Mr. Yu, I can trust Tenda Group, and the conditions in all aspects are very sincere. "
"Moreover, this is a good thing that will benefit the future. I have been engaged in education all my life. If I can do some science popularization on the Internet, I will be very happy. "
"But I want to ask..."
"It should be difficult for your company to make money from this project, right? Is this some kind of charity project or some kind of new business model? ”
Professor Kong’s eyes were filled with confusion.
Indeed, the conditions in all aspects are quite good.
But the problem is that these conditions seem to be too Well, it’s good for content creators and good for users, but it’s not good for the company.
Just keep 10% for operating expenses. Isn’t that a big loss?
Even if it is, Do businessIf you want to improve the company's reputation, you have to pay attention to efficiency, right?
The current "useful APP" takes a long time to build, costs a lot of money, and is slow to produce results. It will not have much influence at all until it actually produces results. What is it for?
Even if we consider the best-case scenario, it will become popular in a few years or even more than ten years. Who can think about such long-term things?
That’s why Professor Kong was confused and always thought this was a bit strange.
Yu Ping'an was silent for a moment and said: "Mr. Kong, I also asked Mr. Pei this question."
"Mr. Pei said that some things must be done by someone."
"He wants to create a pure land without garbage for the Internet."
Professor Kong Zhemin was silent for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I agree."
"This matter... it doesn't matter whether it's money or not, and it doesn't matter whether it's successful or not."
"The significance of this matter itself is very important."
Yu Ping'an couldn't help but feel two things. Eyes shining: "Thank you so much, Mr. Kong! With you here, many things will be much easier to handle!"
Kong Zhemin smiled: "No need to thank me, I should thank you. Like Tengda There are really not many companies with such a strong sense of social responsibility."
"Mr. Pei is really an unusual entrepreneur."
Yu Ping'an couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, Pei. The overall personal charm is really powerful!
It can be clearly felt that Mr. Pei’s words touched Mr. Kong very much.
A big boss like him has long been isolated from the world. He has become famous and teaches classes and does research every day. If it is something he is not interested in, he can’t spend money to do it. .
But Mr. Pei’s words moved Mr. Kong!
The joining of Professor Kong Zhemin not only adds a big boss to the literature section of the useful APP, but also ensures the professionalism and quality of various contents. More importantly, the next useful When the APP expands to other fields, it will be easier to recruit more big names.
When all kinds of big guys in different fields gather together, a cluster effect will be formed. There will be more and more high-quality content and more and more excellent producers, and users will naturally More and more.
It can be said to be a good start!

October 26, Wednesday.
OTTO Technology.
The AEEIS development team is working intensively on research and development.
The current artificial intelligence assistant technology is simply divided into two parts: front-end and back-end.
The front-end aspect is mainly speech recognition and speech synthesis technology, which converts the user's spoken language into text, and then converts the returned text result into speech output.
The background aspect uses programs to process user requests and return the most matching results.
In general, the current artificial intelligence assistants on mobile phones are mainly responsible for four dimensions:Device control and system function calls, third-party application support, conversation and intelligence level, skill learning ability.
The initial technology of the artificial intelligence assistant is provided by Xunke Technology, and each manufacturer only updates and optimizes it on this basis.
But whether the smart assistant is useful or not depends on the extent to which the manufacturer has optimized these four dimensions.
Chang You decided to focus all his energy on system function calls and dialogue and intelligence level during this research and development cycle.
Although third-party application support and skill learning capabilities are also important, these two require a lot of content, and only some users may have similar needs, so the priority is lower.
The so-called system function call is when the user uses voice to control the system functions of the mobile phone.
For example, if the user says "weather", the smart assistant will automatically display the weather page on the screen and read out tomorrow's weather conditions, temperature changes and other information with voice.
Similarly, calculators, calendars, memos, phone calls, text messages, etc. can all be controlled by smart assistants, which will bring certain convenience to users.
Conversation and intelligence level refer to how the smart assistant will react when the user asks some more personalized questions.
For example, if the same question is asked "Who is your father?", some intelligent assistants will answer "My father is the product manager of the development department", while some artificial intelligence assistants will answer "They are a group of people who dare to innovate." smart people".
Strictly speaking, this point does not have much practical significance, but it will make AEEIS more recognizable.
Because according to Mr. Pei’s requirements, AEEIS is an artificial intelligence with no emotions, so while other voice assistants all use anthropomorphic voices, AEEIS will use an emotionless mechanical voice.
Now that the "personality" is already in place, we must stand firm and cooperate well in other aspects.
Only by making these personalized customizations and matching AEEIS's character and voice can the product appear to be highly complete.
Previously, the day after the name AEEIS was finalized, director Zhu Xiaoce approached Chang You and wanted to ask for a name for an artificial intelligence that could be used in movies and games.
The two departments had cooperated as early as "Better Tomorrow", and this time they naturally thought of going together. Chang You told Zhu Xiaoce about what he was doing on AEEIS, and Zhu Xiaoce readily agreed. The name has also been used in movies and games.
At that time, we can also use the popularity of movies or games to promote AEEIS, why not?
Chang You came out of the conference room. He had just finished reviewing some key functions with a few key members.
After taking a sip of tea, Chang You found that several messages had been refreshed in the small group created privately by the department head, one of which was sent by Yu Ping'an.
This group is not for chatting, but for each department to briefly share any trends they have.
Yu Ping'an: "'Useful APP' succeeded Professor Kong Zhemin!"
Chang You put down the tea cup and couldn't help but feel curious.
A useful APP?
What is that?
