Digital Kingdom

On the evening of April 14, there were rumors that a well-known domestic insurance giant asset management company was about to disband its equity department and be replaced by the AI ​​department.

Coincidentally, many world-renowned hedge funds such as Bridgewater, Renaissance Technologies, DEShaw, TwoSigma, etc. have begun to use artificial intelligence for quantitative trading.

Although the current machine learning technology is not enough to support AI's victory in the stock market.

However, because machine learning can better mine the high-dimensional nonlinear logic of the market, computers will make much less mistakes than humans. In addition, they are outstanding in the application of high-frequency strategies. Decision makers generally believe that machine learning will be the future Will be the winning method for the stock market.

"IFly asks if you want a ceremony?"

"No, you can just accept it," Zhao Ziming smiled.

"Okay," Wang Tianbao nodded.

The leader has already ordered that the aircraft is bought as a fixed asset of the company and used for public use at ordinary times. Zhao Ziming needs to use it at any time. Others can use it with the approval of the vice president.

Speaking of it, the owner’s flight is the least in the entire company, probably not a few times a year.

"Facebook has reached cooperation with several giants like Microsoft and Amazon to jointly research artificial intelligence," Zhao Ziming leaned on the boss chair and said casually:

"Their breakthrough point is to "tell the AI ​​with the basic logic used by humans in a programming way." For example, objects have the property of maintaining their original state of motion. When the car starts, passengers will fall backwards. It is the performance of inertia. It is a big improvement to make AI have human logic. You will pay more attention to news in this area in the future."

Wang Tianbao nodded, "Okay."

Zhao Ziming: "According to the news I got, they pushed forward very quickly. Although they can't pose a threat to us for the time being, it is always a sign and we cannot relax."

"Yeah," Wang Tianbao replied.

As the company's leadership, he has an overall understanding of the technology of the digital group. It can be said that there is a big gap between the two.

Here, artificial intelligence has been able to explore the relevant logic by itself, instead of relying on human input in advance, and there is still groping in the dark.

However, everything starts in detail, sprouted in the bud and left alone, it will eventually become a catastrophe.

The joint efforts of several giants should not be underestimated.

Of course, because their respective interests are not required, it is difficult to achieve the degree of intimacy and mixing. However, the top human brain is almost there, the exchange rate of intelligence.

To some extent, the alliance of giants is a more terrifying opponent than the US imperial government.

"How's Li Yu doing?"

Zhao Ziming thought of his previous capable love general and asked.

Because of Chu Wensheng's resignation, the core team of Magic Mirror was almost disbanded, and Magic Company could not continue to develop on "miniaturization and portable", so it had to choose to go the other way and build a large virtual experience hall.

Li Yu proposed the "Hundred Cities and Hundreds of Stores" plan, intending to use one year to build 100 virtual experience halls in 100 cities across the country. After detailed demonstration, Zhao Ziming also agreed, and the total project investment is about 10 billion.

"One hundred experience halls are under construction. They can open in September at the latest, and open at the end of this month as soon as possible," Wang Tianbao told the news.

Zhao Ziming was surprised: "Oh, the action is so fast?"

"Because Shanghai already has a foundation, it can be used with a little modification, but I want to make Shanghai a national flagship store and redesign it."

On the whole, the virtual experience hall does not occupy a large area, and the core area in the center is called Stage, which is the "stage".

At present, there are two designs of "stage": one is the "attraction-style stage" of about 100 square meters; the other is a relatively large "full-dimensional stage" of about 10,000 square meters.

These two stages are not only different in size, but also different in their corresponding functions and purposes. In order to ensure a faster turnover rate, the "attraction-style stage" is generally located in a place with a large flow of people, providing players with a linear experience.

The "full-dimensional stage" is a bit larger, providing visitors with a longer, non-linear and complete experience. Currently, it is only set up in ten cities including Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, similar to theme parks.

With the theme of "Martial Arts" in Shanghai, Li Yu is determined to create the most perfect experience, combining reality and virtuality to achieve a truly immersive experience.

Zhao Ziming nodded: "Okay, there will be an opening ceremony at that time, and I will celebrate him."

Wang Tianbao was overjoyed upon hearing this.

As soon as the boss said this, it meant that Li Yu was re-accepted and his previous mistakes were wiped out.

No matter how much you do, no matter how great the credit is made, if you can't get trust and don't have Jane in the emperor's heart, then you will be a general after all.

Zhao Ziming continued, "Analysts estimate that the market size of VR technology is almost 100 billion U.S. dollars, and by 2020, it may reach 5 trillion U.S. dollars. In other words, in about three years, the market size will be Expanded by nearly 50 times."

Wang Tianbao: "Tech giants such as Apple, Google, and Microsoft are all investing a lot of money and talent in this field. Its market prospects are far broader than people think."

Zhao Ziming: "Previously, Southeast Group wanted to sell its magic technology, but Chu Wensheng was unwilling to come back. The twisted melons were not sweet, so this matter is fine. The current magic mirror person in charge still lacks a little spirituality. If you let Li Yu do more dim sum, this business cannot be put down. We originally had an advantage in the next generation of wearable devices and mastered the core technology, so we could not give up our dominance step by step."

Wang Tianbao: "Okay."

Chu Wensheng won't come back, that's for sure. It was so violent at the beginning, and the Magic Company was almost destroyed by him. There is no face to come back to eat the grass. Even if Zhao Ziming is willing to bow his head, he is afraid of coming back and being revenge.

If it weren't for a big boss to intervene in mediation, Chu Wensheng might be sold as a victim by Wu Xuan.

Zhao Ziming said with emotion, "Chu Wensheng still has a lot of ideas. The new ideas he put forward in Magic Technology, AR in life, if it can be realized, will definitely be an epoch-making product, it is a pity."

Wang Tianbao didn't know whether the boss was a real pity or a fake one, so he could only follow along.

In Chu Wensheng’s public speech, he described a ubiquitous augmented reality: traveling abroad, wearing smart glasses, the information on the road signs can be directly translated; visiting a museum, you can see holographic images beside each exhibit Commentary; If you want to buy a new sofa, you don’t need to hold the picture and start to imagine the empty living room. You can directly open the mobile app and move the sofa in the mall to the real living room to see it.

Zhao Ziming: "Many fans complain that our magic mirror is not updated and relies on a product to provide for the elderly. To be honest, I feel very ashamed.

"It is not difficult to imagine that in the near future, from daily life to industrial production, the real world will be covered by a large amount of data and animation. The future world will be a world that combines virtual and reality. However, we can only sigh, I have been too late to launch a new product. Seeing this "profit growth point" step by step is occupied by others, I don't know what everyone thinks, I can't sleep all night."

The Lord humiliated his minister and died, Wang Tian and BMW had to review it, but Zhao Ziming stopped:

"I said this, but I have no other meaning. Our 2.2 version is regarded as an indispensable part of "Industry 4.0". By using AR technology on the assembly line, it provides workers with more detailed information, minimizes errors and improves Production efficiency has promoted the system transformation of the manufacturing industry.

"In version 3.0, you can see the scene in front of you in real time through the screen. No matter what you see, you can immediately display the information, name, size, current state, etc. of these objects, reaching the level of a science fiction movie.

"But the results are only the past. If you want to carry the banner of magic and the glory of the past, you must work harder. How to launch our 4.0 and 5.0 versions next is the key."

Listening to the boss's generous statement, Wang Tianbao was also a little moved in his heart.

To be honest, as the boss has made more and more achievements, he is somewhat slack, not lacking money, not lacking power. It is the peak of life, and he feels a bit at a loss.

After all, people in their forties are not so ambitious, and with a gentle personality, the idea of ​​not tossing is deep-rooted.

In particular, this year’s economy continues to bottom out, the manufacturing industry is sluggish, and the world has set off a wave of anti-economic globalization. The cold winter of capital has still not faded, and conservatism has prevailed.

Winter is coming!

Up to BAT and the Global 500, down to various O2O and P2P entrepreneurial teams, cessation of recruitment, layoffs, bad news...

Wang Tianbao had seen a list of top 500 layoffs before. These once-prosperous companies have now fallen into a position of layoffs: Twitter layoffs 8%; Lenovo layoffs 3,200 people: Sharp layoffs 5,000; IBM layoffs 110,000 worldwide People; Microsoft and Siemens each laid off more than 10,000 people; Standard Chartered Bank removed more than 200 managing directors...

Various news increasingly affected his passion.

However, after the boss's talk and beating, Wang Tianbao was shocked.

A person's destiny depends not only on one's struggle but also with reference to the historical process.Whether he is willing to fight, in the final analysis, is not determined by him, but by the man at the helm.

What Zhao Ziming is best at is to go against the trend and make the right decision at every critical breach.

Since he has this ambition, he can only serve as his subordinates to the end. Wang Tianbao is about to show his attitude, knocking on the door one by one and coming in:

"Boss, Fang Yue, they are ready."

"Okay," Zhao Ziming stopped talking.

There is an interview with him today. Although he doesn't like to show his face, but the friendship is indispensable, and some please ask him to refuse.
