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 was a little confused, what does this mean, Lao Ma has forgotten?
Did you go out to have fun on the weekend? Didn't you log in to Weibo at all?
But it’s impossible to think about it. Although Lao Ma always does things with enthusiasm for three minutes, this time is too short. Three minutes have not passed yet. There is no reason for Lao Ma to give up so quickly, right?
Then why didn’t you post any new Weibo posts 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 and didn't look like he was sleeping.
Pei Qian knew very well that Lao Ma was not a person who liked to sleep in. Even in the winter, he could get up successfully even if he had classes in the morning.
Lao Ma is a hard-working bastard, so it’s obviously suspicious that he didn’t post a second Weibo post all weekend.
To Ma Yang, Pei Qian stopped playing around and asked directly: "How much money have you paid so far?"
Ma Yang: "Not even a penny was paid."
Pei Qian was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
Ma Yang said matter-of-factly: "This is the dream fund I finally won. It's Brother Qian's recognition of my hard work! I have to see messages or forwards of people who really have dreams before I can send money. I can't just send money!"
Pei Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It turns out 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, so not many people have seen it, and those who have seen it don’t believe him, thinking he is lying. Even those who were doubtful did not seriously write about their dreams.
Therefore, none of these messages were of any interest to Lao Ma, so he didn't pay a penny to these people.
He doesn't send money, and others think it's a scammer just trying to make a gimmick, 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: "That won't work! I am an official and serious internal employee of Tengda, and I cannot lose my status! Besides, I am giving money. If I post another Weibo to emphasize this, it will not look like I am kneeling down to give them money.
Is it okay? Definitely not!"
"Believe it or not, let me see who the first lucky person is."
Pei Qian silently raised his thumb and said, "Yes. In ancient times, there was Shang Yang who moved to Mu Lixin, and today there is Ma Yang who spreads coins on Weibo. They are all heroes among men."
When Shang Yang moved to Mu Lixin, many people gathered 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 fails to become an Internet celebrity, but the money is not 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 did the right thing, keep sticking 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 felt that he had to go over and take a look to ensure that there was a product available and that he could not make a lot of money.
…
Outu Technology, conference room.
The key employees of Changyou and 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 for otto os, which includes many practical system functions, especially the camera system adjustment in the imaging laboratory."
"For the new camera system, we have prepared some optimization algorithms, including providing beauty effects for users when taking selfies, 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 updated to the new Otto OS in time!"
"You know, currently only Pineapple's flagship phone is equipped with this feature. If we can be the first to update it to the Otto e1 phone, it will definitely be very helpful to enhance 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 definitely be good news for enriching our product line!
"
A question mark slowly floated over Pei Qian's head.
?
Artificial intelligence voice assistant?
No, this wasn't included in the previous development plan, right?
Moreover, this thing shouldn’t appear so early in the country, right?
Pineapple's latest flagship phone can use voice assistants because 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 voice assistant
identification function.
And this all 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 judging from what Chang You said, this company called Xunke Technology seems to have been doing research in this area. It already has a relatively mature Chinese intelligent voice assistant. On this basis, you can use it directly after modifying it!
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? Is it 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 mentally retarded when they first came out. To say that artificial intelligence is flattering them can only be regarded as artificial intelligence 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? Did you see the technological breakthrough from Xunke Technology and decided to add it temporarily?"
"If that's the case, I think it's best to take it slow."
"There is still a lot of work in other areas. I'm afraid that you won't be able to arrange the time, or it will affect the completion of other work."
Chang You smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei, it won't happen for sure!"
"Before, we originally planned to develop software and hardware 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.
plan."
"So, I just have some free time! It's very suitable to use it to make this artificial intelligence voice assistant for otto os!"
"So Mr. Pei, your idea is right. You have to leave some room for research and development, otherwise it will be difficult to seize this kind of 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 it’s time to move on to the next 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.
If Pei Qian hadn't wanted to raise the rent of the sloth apartment, he wouldn't have thought of installing these things.
The same is true for artificial intelligence voice assistants on mobile phones. Not all are cheap. Only flagship phones of certain manufacturers such as Pineapple Mobile Phones are equipped with them. This is 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 thought of 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. How about Mr. Pei, can you give me one?"
"I think Mr. Pei's names are all very essential!"
Pei Qian nodded: "Then call it: Ayes."
"The English name is aeeis."
"Ais..." Chang You read it twice, "Does it have any profound meaning?"
Pei Qian explained: "It is the abbreviation of 'an efficient and effortless intelligent system', a.e.e.i.s."
Chang You suddenly realized: "'An efficient and labor-saving intelligent system'? What a good name! Very appropriate!"
"As an intelligent voice assistant, its role is to help us save time and 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 "a and easygoing intelligent system", which means "an elegant and easy-going intelligent system".
I understand what it means to be elegant and easy-going.
As for why he chose this name, of course it is because Pei Qian has already thought about how to arrange it.
