Global monopoly of technology

Yao Jianhong had memorized all Luo Sheng's instructions and left the office to prepare.

With Luo Sheng's opening, the Blue Coast Company invested a huge sum of US$5.5 billion, or about 375 yuan, for the same thing-big data.

In the era of big data, the most valuable thing is not the solution, but the data information, including but not limited to text, pictures, audio, video and other data content.

The investment scale of the smart tablet project means that it will exceed the sky-high price of 10-15 billion US dollars, which is almost five to eight times the investment cost of the first-generation Azure of the Blue Coast company.

In terms of risk, it may be more than ten times as much as the former.

However, Luo Sheng did not hesitate to make a decision. Without him, everything can be reduced to a sunset industry, but the education industry will never decline. If it fails, it can only show that the product is not good enough, not that the education industry is in decline.

...

Entering March, a piece of news sparked a wave of exaggeration among practitioners in the education field.

Xindongfang headquarters, meeting room.

"The news has been confirmed. The Blue Coast Company held a media conference just an hour ago. Yao Jianhong officially announced that the company has entered the education and training industry, and plans to invest more than 100 billion yuan in the next three years. Billion dollar budget scale."

The executives who attended the meeting were all stunned when they heard the report, and everyone was motionless.

"My God, over 100 billion investment scale?"

"It doesn't make sense. How did Luo Sheng's mind change? Isn't the Blue Coast company a high-tech company? It has something to do with the education industry?"

"He is a big tech guy who came to the education and training field to mix things up?"

"In any case, the education and training industry will usher in a huge change, and it is even tantamount to a major earthquake. Even if the 100 billion yuan comes in, even if it does nothing, the whole industry will be shaken."

At this moment, the people in Dongfang want to break their heads and can't figure out what Luo Sheng is doing in the education industry. Can't you just sell your smartphone?Moreover, it was announced as soon as it came up that it was a frightening rhythm to spend more than 100 billion yuan, which is above the total market value of eight or nine salaries.

The head, Mr. Yu said in a deep voice: "From today's news, combined with the'Luosheng Charity Fund' that attracted great attention from the society at the beginning of the year, it is a long-planned move for the company to enter the education and training industry."

A manager at the meeting said: "Why? From high-tech R&D to education and training, the crossover is so big, I want to break my head, but I can't figure out how Luo Sheng can play education and training, and hundreds of billions of funds have been invested in it. Isn't he afraid of losing his money?"

Another manager said with a strong smile: "Don't say it, he really suffered a loss. According to the 2009 annual report of the Cote d'Azur, the annual revenue of last year was 315 billion yuan. This year's Azure-3 is selling crazy. Yes, Nielsen’s forecast is that the 2010 annual performance of the Côte d’Azur is expected to reach more than US$70 billion, which is a revenue exceeding RMB 500 billion. Don’t forget Luo Sheng, Bluestar Technology Group and Shengfeng Capital It can make up for the shortfall, even if it is really hurt, it may be relieved in one or two years."

This is the most terrifying place, people have willful capital.

Mr. Yu said: "The most important thing is to figure out what the Côte d’Azur relies on to enter the education and training industry? Will it become our competitor? I can’t figure out what the other party’s details are. It’s just a waste of blind people’s light. hit."

Speaking of this, Mr. Yu said with emotion: "I guess that the industry's peers generally have this anxiety. The other party is coming fiercely, and you can't touch the other party's way is the most bottomless."

Mr. Yu is right. It is not just Salary. Education and training companies such as Global IELTS are also holding ad hoc meetings to discuss. The focus of the discussion is how the heavy news released by the Riviera will affect them.

All aspects are being evaluated.

The elites in the education and training industry simply did not realize that this was a dimensionality reduction attack on the education and training industry from the technology industry they were completely unfamiliar with. Even these industry elites in the education industry have not yet figured out the other party's methods of attack. What reaction?How to deal with it?

Because up to now, the "smart tablet" project under the Cote d'Azur is still in a state of confidentiality, and the outside world does not know this.

However, the elites who can stand on the top of the line are not the ones who are in the bag. Even if you don’t know how the other party is fighting, the scale of the investment of 100 billion yuan announced by the Blue Coast is already known. No matter what it is, it is a horror. Energy shock wave.

After ending the meeting, Mr. Yu decisively called his competitors in the same industry. Facing the sudden intrusion of Luo Sheng, an "outsider" into their turf, people in the industry consciously chose to group together.

This is normal. However, anyone who sees a stranger suddenly breaks in will be wary. At least the old opponent who has been fighting for a long time knows it well, and the group will go with the flow.

Wang Sisi is a middle school English teacher. The meager salary and the rising housing prices and commodity prices, coupled with the fact that she feels financial pressure in places like Shanghai.

Recently, Wang Sisi is planning to use his spare time to engage in extracurricular English training. It can be regarded as an extra income from his profession to subsidize the economic pressure of life. It is an indisputable fact that all kinds of English training are very popular now.

However, just yesterday's news disrupted Wang Sisi's long-thinking plan, that is, the news of the Côte d'Azur's announcement to enter the education and training business was screened.

Wang Sisi has also read the news.

Among them, he paid special attention to the fact that the Côte d’Azur education and training business group should recruit teachers from all over the world to contribute educational materials, including not only text, pictures, video or audio materials, but also various subjects, from elementary schools to universities. stage.

The Riviera encourages teachers around the world to open online courses, use their spare time to produce some teaching content and even popular science content. At the same time, it also disclosed a set of signing mechanism, without the teacher's resignation, can be part-time.

The contract is signed every two years. Once the contract is signed, not only will there be a stable basic compensation guarantee, the educational materials produced will also be purchased by the Côte d'Azur to obtain a second income from its exclusive copyright.

At the same time, educational materials will also be incorporated into a set of algorithms based on indicators such as click-through rate and popularity in the future platform. It is a bit like the nature of the "advertising alliance" of Bluestar Technology's online video business. It will receive revenue sharing. In theory, the revenue here The upper limit is very high.

In other words, teachers only need to create knowledge, and then hand over the created knowledge to the Côte d'Azur for commercial operation.

This may be a representative event of the advent of the "pay for knowledge" era of web3.0.

For the field of education and training, especially offline education and training institutions, such as some English training institutions, once the brand-new model implemented by the Côte d’Azur succeeds, for them, the impact it will bring is no different from a major event. earthquake.

This is the dimensionality reduction attack. With the powerful platform resource integration capability, relying on advanced technology advantages, it can defeat the offline from the online.

Wang Sisi considered it again and again, and finally decided to temporarily give up the idea of ​​doing extracurricular training courses by himself. Instead, he submitted a paper and tried it first. If he could get a considerable extra income, then he didn't need to train himself.

The Côte d'Azur spent 100 billion yuan to give her a lot of information, don't worry about being deceived.

Relatively speaking, doing extracurricular training on your own is a lot more tiring, but like the Cote d’Azur, submitting papers is so easy that you don’t have to worry about making the material.

Not only did Wang Sisi have this idea and decision, but many teachers from all over the country who learned about this matter are eager to try it. After all, they don’t need to affect their original careers, they just take up some spare time, and can get an additional source of income. Why not do it?

The same is true internationally. It is the best of both worlds to disseminate knowledge and obtain additional sources of income.

Regardless of the situation abroad, just talk about the mainland. It is an indisputable fact that the income of teachers is generally low, otherwise there will be no various training institutions that have sprung up like mushrooms.

In recent years, among the major problems that have plagued the career development of teachers, poor salary has become the main culprit for most teachers to abandon teaching and engage in business. There are many grassroots teachers with monthly salary of two thousand or less.

Big data shows that the income of higher education college teachers accounts for half of the annual salary of less than 100,000 yuan, and less than 5% of the annual salary of more than 200,000 yuan. If it is a teacher of basic education, it is good, but this represents the highest level of education in the country. The income status of teachers in colleges and universities.

There are even reports that an old professor who has served in colleges and universities for 30 years earns just over 6,000 in one month.

For primary and secondary school teachers at the grassroots level, the income situation is even less optimistic.

The inadequate salary has forced many young teachers engaged in basic education to abandon their mission of teaching and educating people and start another way of living.

However, when the Blue Coast Company vigorously promoted the enrichment of teaching resources and data, some "bricks" jumped out and severely criticized at this time, claiming that "teachers are engineers of the human soul and should not be excessively kidnapped by commercialization. We should live in peace, otherwise we will change our taste, which will harm education"

This topic has triggered a great discussion in the industry. Before that, the establishment of the "Luo Sheng Charity Fund" received unanimous praise from the society, which formed a sharp contrast.

Luo Sheng, who takes time out every day to read newspapers and information, naturally does not know what is being discussed in society.

There is nothing to say, Luo Sheng responded by posting a post on his Weibo backhand:

[The literati Ledao does not have to be poor, and the poor and happy Tao should not be understood in this way.The meaning of being poor and happy means that even if I am poor, I am happy. It does not mean that happy Dao must be poor.Who stipulated that intellectuals must be impoverished?Who ruled that scholars should be poor?Who stipulated that getting rich should be coal mining?What is the truth?If a person who studies in a society, creates knowledge, or creates culture is poor, is this society a reasonable society?]
