Digital Kingdom

"Sit", Zhao Ziming greeted Chen Yuan,

Based on the major challenges facing the company, Chen Yuan proposed an open strategy that aroused Zhao Ziming's interest and had a separate conversation after the meeting.

"Mr. Zhao", Chen Yuan sits upright and has a strong aura. In front of the boss, he does not hide his edge.

He has recently been transferred from the manager of the US branch to the group headquarters as an assistant to the president.

This is the first assistant to the president with real power in the Digital Group. It is not the same as Zhao Jing and Fang Ruoping.

The power of the assistant to the president comes from the position itself, not from Zhao Ziming himself, and has almost reached the top of the management position.

Originally, Zhao Ziming reserved this position for Li Yu. However, the resignation wave of Golden Dragon Loan some time ago exposed some of Li Yu's deficiencies.

Although there is a reason for the incident, it is always a questionable place. Li Yu's ability needs to be further polished. The more he goes up, the more important the manager's ability is, and the business ability is not the first.

After comprehensive consideration, Zhao Ziming selected Chen Yuan, the best performer in each branch, as the assistant to the president.

In other words, Li Yu has fallen behind in this round of competition, and if he doesn't pay attention, he will be completely suppressed.

Zhao Ziming naturally knew that there were a lot of amazing and brilliant characters, but everyone was stunned in the end. Not every young hero will eventually become the undefeated God of War.

In ancient Western sayings, the dragon-slaying warrior finally became the evil dragon.

It is not only ironic, but also admonishment and introspection.

To become the top group, talent, character, opportunity, and training are all indispensable.

Whether Li Yu can realize and make progress in this defeat is the test of himself.

If no one even wakes up, Li Yu may not be able to realize that the throne of the assistant to the president has missed him.

On the contrary, Chen Yuan's outstanding performance during his administration of the US branch is admirable.

Blind people’s vision recovery products won a huge order from the U.S. Department of Defense, reached a cooperative promotion agreement with the LDS Charity Association of the United States, and took multiple measures to promote the soaring sales of Magic Mirror 2.0, with sales exceeding 100 billion.

Propelled the "Jiang Hu" game to take root, occupying the top position of the best-selling game in North America for five consecutive months, setting off a whirlwind of Chinese culture.

It can be said that Chen Yuan's achievements, even if it is placed in any giant company, can be taken. It is definitely an elite among the elite. This time, it is not surprising that the newcomers can top up.

"How did you think about it?" Zhao Ziming smiled, poured him a glass of water, and asked,

"Open platform, connect everything",

Chen Yuan's face was calm and ecologically indifferent, without any cramps, as if the person in front of him was not his boss, but an ordinary colleague.

"Since 2010, a large number of products and platforms have gradually entered people’s field of vision. Especially in recent years, with the accumulation of big data, the improvement of computing power and the development of artificial intelligence technology, especially the development of deep learning technology, chat robots The technology is becoming more and more mature. Even if our algorithm is not disclosed, the chatbot will certainly usher in a blowout period from laboratory research to product landing.

Chen Yuan talked about the current situation. Although Xiaozhi set off a storm of artificial intelligence, it did not initiate the first wave.

"With the gradual popularity of smart home and smart customer service applications, challenges are bound to come. Xiaozhi voice assistant should not be limited to smart speakers. Its correct posture should be the core of the smart home, which can control the TV. It can also control light bulbs, control curtains, control water heaters, control refrigerators, etc. It is more appropriate to position it as an open platform."

Zhao Ziming did not speak and motioned him to continue.

The total core of the smart home is originally the goal of Xiaozhi 2.0.

The current control technology can be achieved, but the hardware does not support it. Only after the furniture is upgraded can it be fully intelligent.

"First of all, we should open Xiaozhi to third-party developers and release software and hardware development kits. The software development kit should integrate a complete set of development and deployment interfaces and development tools to meet the needs of developers to the greatest extent and enable them to It’s easy to develop Xiaozhi’s related skills. The hardware development kit serves hardware manufacturers, allowing them to integrate Xiaozhi into their hardware products."

Zhao Ziming nodded, Chen Yuan's thinking was very clear, and he could see that it was not a whim, but his own thinking.

"These development kits can all be integrated into the smart country, and then we can launch our own artificial intelligence product line, for example, the voice service positioned in voice conversion, the search service positioned in image recognition and the visual content understanding service, positioned in natural persons Machine interactive voice and text conversion services, etc."

Chen Yuan was extremely confident and tried his best to describe the assumptions in his mind.

According to the data of StoneTemple, a foreign professional research organization, it has done a lot of professional research on Xiaozhi, asked 50,000 common questions, and Xiaozhi answered 99.99% correctly, which is shocking.

Its intelligence is far from the same kind in supermarkets, including laboratory products.

Therefore, Chen Yuan has the confidence to launch related products on this basis.

With the help of Xiaozhi, it can easily occupy most of the application market.

"A single product dispute will eventually develop into an overall ecological dispute. We can see a similar trajectory from the development of Apple's iPhone."

Zhao Ziming nodded and took the words, what Chen Yuan said is not difficult to understand.

This is the so-called T-shaped strategy.

The hottest company strategy on the market now.

The two bosses chat together. If they don't say something about it, it seems a bit outdated and can't keep up with the pace of the times.

But the T-type strategy is not a panacea. It has an important foundation, that is, the initial business positioning must be accurate.

Only the deeper and more thorough the business, the wider the later stage.

Therefore, if a company wants to adopt this strategy.First pierce a shaft very deep, and then expand horizontally on the basis of the deep shaft.

Chen Yuan’s new strategy is also based on this point. The early stage of Xiaozhi’s positioning is clear, and the technical barriers are deep enough to lay the foundation for the later opening.

"I think in the same way. In order to promote the prosperity of the entire ecosystem, we can also set up a special venture capital fund to support start-ups in the field of voice interaction, organize college student challenges, and promote the development of human-computer interaction robots. , Taking multiple measures simultaneously, taking artificial intelligence and machine learning as the focus of the company’s new phase of efforts."

Chen Yuan said with a smile,

"Yeah," Zhao Ziming nodded. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are almost the choice of all companies, and the key depends on execution.
