Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 375 [AI technology advancement is the key]

"The mobile phone business is the core business of the Côte d'Azur, but the company's current business is too singular and in fact very unhealthy." Luo Sheng said to everyone at the conference, product diversification and business diversification are imperative.

The smartphone industry is currently in a period of rapid growth, but there will always be a day when the market is saturated. Maintaining the high profits of the Côte d'Azur requires new growth points to support the current high treatment of the company.

Li Chunsheng who attended the meeting said: "Boss, is the smart tablet benchmarked against Apple's iPad?"

Hearing this, Luo Sheng shook his head and said: "No, the benchmark is also the benchmark BBK Dot Reader or Amazon Kindle, and at the same time far surpass them. As for the iPad's main entertainment products, our smart tablet is positioned as an educational aid Devices and positioning groups are not the same. Even if it is benchmarked with point readers or Kindle, it does not make much sense. Our competitors are traditional after-school training institutions."

The current situation is that parents are almost broken for their children’s education, for fear that their children will lag behind others, they are racing to send their children to participate in various tutoring classes and tuition classes. The most common and most common is English tuition classes. When they came out, some parents even started from the baby, and the kindergarten began to learn English, wanting their children to win at the starting line and so on.

It can be seen how huge this market is.

And Luo Sheng wants to develop this kind of education-assisted smart tablet object, which is not only useful for middle and high school students, but also for college students who have passed the postgraduate entrance examination party.

It’s not that there is no need for human teachers if you have an electronic device. The biggest role of smart tablets is to provide a good auxiliary platform for those who are willing to learn and improve on their own. Teacher resources are limited, and students cannot be all the time. Ask your own teacher or mentor. Generally, you will find the materials yourself, which will waste a lot of time.

At the same time, resources for high-end education are the most scarce, which is actually a monopoly of knowledge.

And for this pain point, smart tablets can provide a perfect solution.

Luo Sheng from the conference room said: “Smart tablets need the support of big data and cloud computing technology, and also introduce online translation software. In fact, the core is very simple, which is to collect the world’s top teaching data, and then use artificial intelligence technology for users. Provide consultation to make Xiaolan an excellent private teacher. If you don’t understand, ask Xiaolan, and then she will retrieve the information you want for you. Xiaolan is the most versatile teacher."

"So, the prerequisite is that we need massive teaching data resources. This is a very significant expenditure. We need to fund various universities as much as possible around the world, and then let them share teaching resources, text, pictures, public or private Lesson videos, videos of deconstruction of knowledge points by famous teachers, etc. Put this basket of super data on the cloud, and users are all nodes. Through a platform of big data + cloud computing, Xiaolan is the link to The information users need is distributed to all nodes."

"For example, to learn English, just ask if you don’t understand, Xiaolan will retrieve and accurately push the usage of the grammar you want to know, Xiaolan can answer for you, you can also ask Xiaolan to search by yourself, etc., for example, if you want To understand some cutting-edge academic issues, just ask Xiaolan, as long as we have the collection, we can immediately provide the most cutting-edge and accurate information."

Everyone nodded silently, and Li Chunsheng muttered to himself: "It seems that big data is playing a role, but the real difficulty and pain point is how to make Xiaolan accurate for thousands of users with different needs. Pushing and structuring what he wants is too demanding for AI technology."

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "Alright, the technical problem is not too big a problem, that is, the important stage from intelligent perception to intelligent reasoning. At this stage, our AI is in the intelligent perception stage, but it will soon be upgraded to the intelligent reasoning stage. At that time, it means that Xiaolan will have a more excellent'understanding' ability to solve students' puzzles, and behind her is the entire big data, which is richer and more comprehensive than the knowledge mastered by any single human being, thousands of times more than , The only drawback is that it will not create."

Is this a technical problem?

Li Chunsheng and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while, so the big boss dare to say such words in such a relaxed voice.

How difficult it is for an AI to respond from a purely mechanical response to having a certain "understanding" ability, only the researchers involved in the AI ​​field know it very clearly, it is as difficult as heaven.

Everyone thinks that the AI ​​technology of the Côte d'Azur is not owned by the company, but is owned by Luo Sheng, but the Côte d'Azur can be used for free.

At this time, everyone realized that the big BOSS itself is a technical genius, but his brilliance was obscured by business and management. In fact, it is the hidden technical boss in the company.

Thinking of this, Li Chunsheng and others couldn't help but get excited. If the technical problem is not a problem, then the smart tablet business for education assistance is definitely another big explosion product.

One minute and one second passed. After the meeting lasted for forty minutes, Luo Sheng made a decisive decision and immediately looked at Li Chunsheng: "That's it. We announce our entry into the education industry with technology as the core driving force. You are responsible. This piece of new business."

Li Chunsheng was quite excited in his heart, but he didn't lose his temper, instead he nodded seriously, assuming that he had taken up the task.

This is the first time since he joined the Côte d’Azur five years ago that he has led a large project alone. He is the highest person in charge of this project and the person appointed by Luo Sheng. The key is that the prospects of the smart tablet business are extremely promising.

Li Chunsheng is also thinking about it. Not surprisingly, if this project is a big success, he may be able to enter the board of directors of the Blue Coast company and become a true core member.

Luo Sheng retracted his gaze, looked around and smiled at everyone: "The smart tablet can actually be regarded as an enlarged or professional version of the Azure series of mobile phones. We can use the same AOS operating system and hardware technology. In other words, the touch screen is enlarged, the space is larger, and some entertainment attributes are cut off, and it is positioned as a learning tool, not an entertainment pastime."

Yao Jianhong hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Luo, will cutting off the entertainment attribute function have an impact on sales? The success of the Xiaobawang learning machine is largely due to the accompanying entertainment function."

Luo Sheng said faintly: "That's deceiving consumers and selling anxiety. I can't make money with this method in the Côte d'Azur. Maybe students will lack interest in this product because it can't play games and entertainment, but you seem to be the wrong group. Those who pay are not students, but parents. Let them know and understand that they won’t worry about sales."

Yao Jianhong: "That's also...well."

Luo Sheng added: "Technical problems have been completed by Azure’s accumulation of more than 90%, so the real time consuming time from the launch of this product is the integration of the supply chain. This can be done in about half a year. In the summer, the smart tablet, an educational aid, will be launched. This is the second brand new blockbuster electronic product that I released on the Riviera."

The matter was settled in such a rapid fashion. The company's senior management knew that this was only part of Luo Sheng's huge layout on the Riviera. The company has now changed its slogan, from the simple "change the world" from the very beginning to now. Put forward a more specific slogan goal-to build a smart world with all things connected.
