Chapter 705 It still depends on President Pei's personal charm!
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 strive to compile the content so that it is neither too profound and professional for ordinary people to understand, nor too empty, vulgar and unnutritious."
"That's why I came to visit you, hoping to invite you to come out."
"You are not only a great figure in the industry, but also a professor who is 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.
"Sounds like a great thing that will benefit the future."
"However, this seems to be a very large project."
"There are a large number of monographs on various courses in the Chinese major, such as ancient literature, modern literature, foreign literature, etc. Even if they are compiled and simplified into an encyclopedia, 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 probably don't have that much time."
"If a lot of people work together to do this, whether they should be paid and how to bear the costs... have you ever considered these issues, Mr. Yu?"
Yu Ping'an was well prepared and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, Mr. Kong, we have already considered these issues."
"This project was decided by President Pei of our Tengda Group. All resources of the entire group company can be mobilized to protect it."
"I also asked Mr. Pei about his workload. Mr. Pei's answer was: the best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, followed by now. Precisely because this is a huge project, it cannot be delayed. If you keep putting it off, nothing will be accomplished.”
“Even if the content is incomplete in the early stage, as long as the information inside is useful, it will 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 invite some young scholars, professors, and outstanding graduate students to participate in these projects, and you will be responsible for each. Different division 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, and safeguard the rights of creators."
"Creators will receive corresponding compensation every month based on their star rating and workload."
"As for how the rewards are distributed, all members of the 'Useful App' need to pay to browse, and they are charged based on usage time and number of views. From this income, we will extract 10% as operating costs, 90% of which are based on A proportion is returned to the creator.”
"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, they can receive a subsidy of 2,000 yuan."
Professor Kong Zhemin was stunned for a moment: "Will this subsidy change with the number of words?"
Yu Pingan nodded: "Yes."
"Because this is simplified 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 live in a big pot and live their lives."
"Once there are enough members on 'Useful App', the income will definitely increase. We will determine the income weight of each department and each creator according to a relatively complex algorithm, including: Creator Star
level, the number of views of written or modified content, the first creation of new entries, the number and proportion of content likes, etc., the revenue share obtained by each section and each creator is calculated."
"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 RMB 100,000, and the annual salary of associate professors is less than RMB 130,000.
Especially some professors in liberal arts majors who concentrate on academics are quite poor.
Although the subsidy of two thousand yuan is not much, you can get it as long as you produce 10,000 words for useful apps every month, which is quite attractive. After all, it is not as difficult as writing a paper, the main thing is to organize existing knowledge
That’s it.
Moreover, the content must pass the review before it is considered valid, and there will be no unlimited spamming, and the phenomenon of "spending money to buy garbage" will not occur.
Professor Kong Zhemin thought about it carefully: "Mr. Yu, I can trust Tenda Group, and all conditions 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 popular science 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 public welfare 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 good, good for content creators and good for users, but not good for the company.
If we just keep 10% for operating expenses, wouldn’t that be a big loss?
Even if you are doing charity and improving 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 won't have much influence at all until it actually produces results. What is it for?
Even if we consider the best-case scenario, if it becomes 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've also asked Mr. Pei this question."
"Mr. Pei said that some things must be done by someone."
"He wants to create a pure land for the Internet without garbage."
Professor Kong Zhemin was silent for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I agree."
"In 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 his eyes shone: "Thank you so much, Mr. Kong! With you here, many things will be much easier to handle!"
Kong Zhemin smiled: "Don't thank me, I should thank you. There are really not many companies with a strong sense of social responsibility like Tenda."
"Mr. Pei is really an unusual entrepreneur."
Yu Ping'an couldn't help but sigh, indeed, Mr. Pei's personal charm is so 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 addition of Professor Kong Zhemin not only adds a big boss to the literature section of You app, but also ensures the professionalism and quality of various contents. More importantly, when You app expands to other fields in the future
, it will be convenient to invite more big names.
When all kinds of big names in different fields gather together, a cluster effect will be formed. There will be more and more high-quality content, more and more excellent producers, and naturally there will be more and more users.
It can be said to be a good start!

Wednesday, October 26th.
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 invocation, third-party application support, conversation and intelligence level, and 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.
However, whether the smart assistant is useful or not depends on the extent to which the manufacturer has optimized these four dimensions.
Changyou 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 information such as tomorrow's weather conditions and temperature changes by 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 intelligent 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 smart people who dare to innovate."
Strictly speaking, this does not have much practical significance, but it will make aeeis more recognizable.
Because according to Mr. Pei's request, aeeis is an artificial intelligence with a lot of emotions, so while other voice assistants all use anthropomorphic voices, aeeis will use a mechanical voice without emotion.
Now that the "personality" is already in place, it must be established and coordinated in other aspects.
Only by making these personalized customizations and matching aeeis' personality and voice can the product appear to be highly complete.
Previously, the day after finalizing the name aeeis, 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 collaborated as early as "Better Tomorrow", and this time they naturally thought of working together. Chang You told Zhu Xiaoce about what he was doing on Aeeis, and Zhu Xiaoce readily agreed and got the name for the movie.
and in 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 discovered 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 teacup and couldn't help but feel curious.
