#573-Chapter 573

Cao Zhending's official duties are heavy, so it is naturally inconvenient to stay more. After having a tacit understanding with Zhao Ziming, he left.

Coming and going in a hurry, hardly disturbed anyone.

"Aming, when you are dealing with him, you have to save more snacks", Li Wei looked at Cao Zhending's disappearing back and reminded him.

"Oh?" Zhao Ziming was still thinking about returning to his hometown to invest, and he was a little surprised.

"Mayor Cao doesn't love money or fame. When you need you, he's like a brother. When you don't need you, he will turn your face ruthlessly. Don't be fooled by the enthusiasm at this moment and have illusions about him." , Li Wei's words are straightforward.

Maybe it was because he was going to retire, and he no longer concealed Zhao Ziming, and further explained:

"I have known him for more than ten years, but have no close friendship. On the one hand, it is not convenient to have too many contacts because he is not of the same faction. On the other hand, it is also because of his personality that makes people unable to think of deep friendship. In his eyes, Everything is valuable."

"Yeah," Zhao Ziming thanked Li Wei for his reminder.

He also felt the distance from Mayor Cao’s enthusiasm just now. It’s no surprise that the other party is a mature politician, who puts profit first and serves power.

Seeing Zhao Ziming's expression, Li Wei stopped saying more.

The two chatted a few words at random and went out. After all, the guests were all outside, and now is not the time to talk in depth.

When Zhao Ziming returned to the hall again, he found that Wang Zhiwei was surrounded by a group of people. He was speaking generously in the crowd, acting like a gangster.

I couldn't help laughing. I wanted to come to the other party to take power for the first time. It was when Fang Qiu was slammed and energetic. Kunlun Investment was nothing to Zhao Ziming. For many entrepreneurs, it was God of Wealth.

Don't go there to join in the fun at this time, and satisfying one's desire to pretend is also a kind of cultivation.

"Mr. Zhao".

Zhao Ziming had just found a corner to sit down, and Shen Feifei came over from nowhere, seeming to have been staring at him.

However, he put aside a trace of alienation and smiled to show closeness. Just now Li Wei briefly mentioned Shen Feifei's life experience, which can be said to be his own.

"I wish you Magic Mirror 3 great sales", Shen Feifei handed a bottle of red wine, and the two touched.

"Accept your good words", Zhao Ziming took a sip and smiled.

Li Yu was transferred to Magic Feiyue Company for a few months and finally made his first big move.

It is not a high-paying digging, not adjusting personnel, but launching new products.

"Magic Mirror 3: Born to Know" is launched globally today, known as a new generation of search engine.

To be precise, Magic Mirror 3 is neither a product nor a hardware device, but a function, a function based on image recognition and artificial intelligence.

Li Yu fully grasped the advantages of Magic Leap, exploited his strengths and circumvented weaknesses, and maximized the potential of the software.

The main function of Magic Mirror 3 is to recognize and scan objects in the real world by the camera.

For example, if you point a camera at a flower, it can tell you what kind of flower it is and what plant characteristics it has.

Although this kind of technology seems ordinary, the scary thing about Magic Mirror 3 is that it has artificial intelligence behind it.

For example, if you point the magic mirror at the sign of a restaurant, it can give you the evaluation and various information of the business; if you point it at a celebrity, it can help you find the hottest video of the celebrity on the Internet; Point the camera at a WI-FI router, you can automatically get the user name and password, and even connect directly to your Android device.

"Born to know", from the name, we can see the ambition of Magic Company and want to build a parser for everything.

As long as there are ready-made answers, Magic Mirror 3 can provide them, including but not limited to problem solving, Q&A, maps, play, etc.

It can mobilize the entire network resources to provide technical support at any time, completely changing the search method.

Zhang Xiaolong of WeChat once said that QR codes are the best way to connect smartphones to the real world.Now, Magic Mirror 3 has eliminated the QR code, or it puts an invisible QR code on everything in reality.

It combines a large number of popular technologies: AI, AR, machine learning, computer vision, etc.

For Magic Mirror 3, the strategic significance of image recognition based on artificial intelligence may be greater than that of any major technology company.

If the function of Magic Mirror 3 can be established, and it can get better and better with the accumulation of massive data, it is equivalent to establishing a connection with the customer from the camera, which is the lowest level of the system;

There is no essential difference between the "scanning feedback information" model and our current "searching for feedback information" model on the web. Magic will become a new generation of search giants and may completely overturn the existing ones. Market structure.

As advertised at the "Magic Mirror 3: Born to Know" conference-"Integrate global information for public use, so that everyone can benefit."

This is a vision and a strategic goal.

"I experienced it this morning and it was really amazing," Shen Feifei said.

Zhao Ziming smiled and said, "Do you think there is any room for improvement?"

Shen Feifei obviously considered this question and answered directly: "I hope the battery life problem can be solved. If possible, I am willing to be online 24 hours."

Zhao Ziming waved his hand helplessly, and his family could not handle the battery problem.

Shen Feifei: "I have a question, I don't know if it is abrupt."

Zhao Ziming motioned to her and said directly.

Shen Feifei: "If the function of Magic Mirror 3 is further upgraded, will this happen? When you see any person, you can display the scene based on the person's dress and posture, etc. Find out his height, weight, color preferences, personality profile, etc., and even in the process of talking with people, the analysis of micro-expressions by face recognition technology can give you tips on the psychological changes of your counterpart, whether to lie or not."

Zhao Ziming groaned. What Shen Feifei said was not unreasonable, but very likely to be realized. Now the "Blue Brain" laboratory of the Digital Group has begun to use the results of psychology and has made good progress.

"This is indeed possible, but technology is ultimately for humanity. As long as you prepare in advance, you can kill these risks in the cradle."

Shen Feifei: "I think Magic Mirror 3 is the best product that combines artificial intelligence and human brain. It must have a great impact on people's daily life. It can even be said that it brings a search engine with you."

Zhao Ziming has long been aware of Shen Feifei's keenness. The ultimate goal of Magic Mirror 3 is to provide each user with an intelligent search, freeing people's energy from redundant and complicated memory.

"At present, Magic Mirror 3 is still in the v1.0 or even beta version. For the first batch of users, the best thing to use is to use the light application of road sign translation and writing down something, combined with the enhanced acquaintance of AR equipment, but It won’t be long before we can boldly imagine our future life."

Shen Feifei nodded, happy that her judgment was consistent with Zhao Ziming's opinion, smiled and continued:

"I just looked at the latest order data on the Internet, and it has exceeded 100,000, which is very popular with everyone."

"Oh, that's okay," Zhao Ziming was taken aback and replied.

He didn't pay attention to product sales. For him, although Magic Mirror 3 is important, it is not worthy of attention. After tonight, someone will send 24-hour sales to his desk.

However, at this moment, the sales volume exceeds 100,000, which is already a good figure. After all, it has been online less than ten hours.

If it is not for Magic Company that has been cultivating and expanding the market, don't imagine that a new thing will achieve such good results.

With current VR products, Magic Company occupies 90% of the market, and other companies’ equipment, whether low-end or high-end, is struggling to survive.

Don't say that it is competing with the Magic Mirror series, even if it has no own customers, it can be described in a sentence on the Internet: "The two are an era behind."

Magic Mirror 3 has been well received as soon as it was launched. In addition to the accumulated market reputation, price is also the main driving force.

Low prices are easy to expand the market, and the truth remains unchanged.

The basic version of Magic Mirror 3 is priced at 5,000 yuan domestically and 1,000 US dollars abroad. Compared with the expensive 1 and 2, the price is almost reduced by half, which will naturally attract a large number of users.

The Magic Mirror 3 flagship version still maintains a price of up to 10,000 yuan. In addition to real-time search, it also integrates the previous AR and VR functions. In comparison, it is definitely worth the money.

"Mr. Li, this is nothing but a blockbuster," Shen Feifei turned the topic to Li Yu.

Zhao Ziming nodded. In that situation, Li Yu was taken to the Magic Company, which was a bit of a firefighting intention. He didn't expect him to do it.

To be honest, there is no new breakthrough in the technology of Magic Mirror 3. The instant search function is just another application of artificial intelligence.

However, when people's hearts are disintegrated and production is close to stagnation, finding a breakthrough point to drive Magic Company to roll forward is not something ordinary people can do.

Nothing can stabilize people's hearts more than the outbreak of Magic Mirror 3. Li Yu found a good break point, knowing the advantages and disadvantages of Magic Feiyue Company, where are the opportunities and threats, after months of polishing , Succeeded in one fell swoop.

"You have the talent of a general, but you know Li Yu?" Zhao Ziming did not hesitate to praise.

Now that he has proven his strength, he will give the greatest return. The resilience shown by Li Yu this time is enough to offset all the previous shortcomings.

Talented people always have privileges.

"Mr. Zhao, I am afraid you still don't know, Li Yu and I are college classmates", Shen Feifei smiled shyly.

"Really, no wonder you pay so much attention to him", Zhao Ziming said in surprise.

He looked at it again, and Shen Feifei's age was indeed not that old, and Li Yu should be the same age.

"Li Yu showed this trait during his university years and was good at dealing with all kinds of troubles. He was the chairman of our student union. When he graduated, he entered the world's top 500 jobs. Later, I heard that he quit his job and everyone lost contact. If it hadn’t been for me to see the Magic Mirror 3 press conference, I would never have thought that he would do something under your hands.” Shen Feifei was deeply moved.

There are both fortune and loss, with mixed flavors.

Zhao Ziming smiled, and heard a lot from Shen Feifei's tone, presumably the lush years of the time left them unforgettable memories.

Zhao Ziming: "It seems that there is a gap between your classmates. I haven't contacted for so long. Li Yu worked here for a long time. Before that, he was the president of Golden Dragon Loan. This time the magic company had an accident, he went to fight the fire. Captain, the performance is perfect."

Shen Feifei was a little embarrassed, after all, what happened back then could not be explained clearly in a few words.

"Look at his resume, already married?"

Zhao Ziming: "Yes, the wedding I hosted for him last year."

Shen Feifei sighed: "Time flies so fast."

In a blink of an eye, seven or eight years after graduating from university, there is a real feeling of being wrong.

Zhao Ziming took a sip of red wine, the astringent taste melted on the tip of his tongue, "Classmates, I still need to contact more."

When Shen Feifei was overjoyed, she spent so much energy not just to get on the line with Zhao Ziming. Now that he got his affirmation, she would have an excuse later.

First, I contacted my old classmates. I wanted to come. With a word from my boss, Li Yu wouldn't turn her away. Slowly, the relationship came.

This is not utilitarian, but an instinct in the workplace.

"Li Yu has grown rapidly in recent years, don't be too surprised when you see him," Zhao Ziming said casually.

He didn't realize that he was the one who changed the most. Compared with himself three years ago, he was completely different.

"Yes, I see him, he is more mature and more confident than before, he has grown too fast," Shen Feifei said with a wave of eyes, turning to flattery.

"The most important thing is that he met a good leader and had a good opportunity."

Zhao Ziming couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't expect the other party's words to turn and return to him.

But she was right. Without this opportunity, Li Yu could not have grown to be the head of a hundred billion empire in just a few years. Compared with his classmates of the same age, he was already on top of the world. People can no longer see the back.

In the just-concluded "Internet·2016" Professional Manager Selection Competition, Li Yu won the title of the youngest CEO and became the most dazzling star among a group of veterans in their 30s and 40s.

However, the better Li Yu's performance, the better his sharp eyesight can be highlighted.No matter what he thought at the beginning, everyone judged heroes on success or failure. Li Yu succeeded in fighting the fire, and everyone would only remember him with his insight and knowledge.

It can be said that pulling the magic power out of the quagmire this time not only shocked the group but also the entire virtual reality industry.

Although it cannot be said that the magic transformation has been successful, it has also reversed the trend. A person without any professional background has shined in the virtual reality industry that emphasizes hard technology, which can not but make people admire.

Li Yu also wrote a strong note on his resume.

The two chatted casually. With Shen Feifei's deliberate flattery and catering, Zhao Ziming didn't think the dinner time was so boring and difficult.
