Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Tuesday, November 15.

Handong University Ancient Chinese Master's dormitory.

Several students are typing on their keyboards, typing on their laptops, and stopping from time to time to search for various materials on the Internet.

If they are unaware, they think they are writing a paper.

But in fact, they are the first batch of creators of "Useful Apps", and they are completing the tasks assigned by their instructors at this time.

Each of these master students is responsible for a part of the content, mainly poems, lyrics, music, ancient prose, etc. After uploading the basic content to the entry of "Useful APP", these people will be responsible for summarizing and sorting out existing research results and Knowledge and perfect the entries.

"Useful APP" has a special background template, and these creators only need to fill it according to the template.The filled content will be reviewed by higher-level creators, usually doctoral students or young lecturers, and will be displayed according to the template after review.

These master students usually log on to the Baike website or HowNet, but compared with these two websites, the biggest feature of the "Useful APP" is that the structural planning is more scientific.

Although the structure of "Useful APP" is somewhat similar to that of the encyclopedia website, in addition to the difference in content, there are also big differences in the details of the experience.

To put it simply, "Useful APP" is trying to do subtraction and layering.

The general encyclopedia website will display most of the information of the same entry on the same page. On the one hand, it is too messy, on the other hand, the content has no hierarchy and cannot meet the needs of individualization.

For example, some people only want the most basic information, while some people need detailed analysis of a certain word or sentence. These two extreme needs are difficult for encyclopedia websites to take care of.

"Useful APP" is actually a multi-layered structure. The first layer is the core and most quintessential analysis of a certain term; the second layer is some classification analysis of this term; the third layer is specific to a certain word The analysis and research of the article; the fourth layer is the source of these contents, cited papers, etc.; the fifth layer is the various questions derived from this entry.

The levels are displayed in various ways of turning pages or pop-up windows, fully taking care of the user's usage habits.

For users, they can find the part of content they need most accurately and quickly, without having to look through all kinds of unnecessary information.

At present, "Useful APP" is used in the sections of ancient poetry and classical Chinese. The basic functions have been developed long ago. In addition to fixing various bugs, the current work mainly depends on the creators to continuously update the content.

This is a relatively boring job, but it doesn't feel hard for these students.

On the one hand, this is their major, and it is equivalent to consolidating their professional knowledge when organizing these contents; on the other hand, this is also a job that can well subsidize the daily expenses of these poor students.

A master's student just finished today's work, leaning back in his chair and stretching.

"Old Li, is the task completed today?"

"about there."

"What is called is almost the same, don't be fooled. Last time you quoted a paper by mistake, and we were warned by our supervisor. Professor Kong Zhemin took the lead in this matter. I am afraid that I would not even think about graduation. Up!"

"Don't worry, I was negligent last time. Now I check the content several times every time I write, and I won't make that kind of low-level mistake again."

"But I'm wondering, what does Tenda do if Tenda pays us to do this kind of thing? Although it is said to be charged, it is probably not profitable, right?"

"Who knows, maybe it is going to be sold to some education groups? At least it will be very useful for primary and middle school students to use this'useful APP' to check poetry.

"The problem is that it can be checked with a thousand degrees, and it is free; textbooks and teaching aids also have explanations of these poems."

"You can't say that. The content detected by Qiandu is too messy and difficult to distinguish. As for the content in the textbooks and tutorials, obviously not as comprehensive as ours. I think, the useful APP may be pure money in the early stage, not much Individuals will pay. But when there are more and more content on it, more people will pay."

"At our current rate, I highly doubt whether it will be profitable in ten years..."

These students also have their own views on "useful apps". Many people are not optimistic about its success. It is only because of Tenda's subsidies that they use their spare time to create and enrich the above content.

Even many people are ready for Tenda to abandon this project at any time, and have a mentality of "earning as long as you can earn".

A student questioned: "Hey, I have always had a question. The functions of'synonymous verses','antonymous verses','synonymous verses', and'synonymous verses', etc., do not seem to be displayed on the'Useful APP'. What is the use of this item?"

The so-called "synonymous verses", "antonymous verses", and "synonymous verses" are actually to establish a connection between some verses or poems with similar meanings, opposite meanings, and similar rhythms.

When entering a poem, you can freely add its synonymous verses, antonymous verses, homophonic verses, etc., to establish connections between different poems or verses.

These contents are also included in the workload, and the weight is not low.After finishing a poem, you can search and screen it online, and then fill in the relevant verses in the background.

It’s just strange that this connection is not shown in the "useful apps", which makes everyone slightly confused.

"I don't understand, I clearly did this function but didn't show it. Isn't it a waste?"

"Who knows, maybe the front-end display of this function is still under development? Do it in the background first, and just display it directly after the front-end function is completed?"

"Perhaps."

The students didn't care too much, and continued to work on the background.

...

Outu Technology.

As soon as Yu Ping arrived, he was invited into the reception room by his regular friends.

"Wait a minute."

A moment after Chang You left, he came over with an OTTO mobile phone.

"It just happens that today you came to dock some of the work of the useful APP database, all come, by the way, feel how the first version of the AEEIS intelligent assistant functions."

"Our researchers have done it a bit better during this period. At this time, we need a complete outsider to give some opinions from a more objective perspective."

As Chang You spoke, he passed the phone to Yu Pingan.

Ping An Yu was originally going to work with Changyou today, because the data of the useful APP will be directly linked to the AEEIS smart database. There are many design details that require the two leaders to touch and make a decision.

After the result came, I was caught by Changyou as a guinea pig and experienced the original version of AEEIS.

Although Yu Ping'an was not very interested in these, he still reached out to take the phone and experienced it seriously.

There is an unwritten rule within Tenda Group that all departments must cooperate unconditionally and unreservedly when encountering the needs of other departments for mutual cooperation. All department heads habitually abide by and practice this rule. .

As for when the unspoken rules established by conventions were formed?

Most people are not quite clear.

However, the source of this unspoken rule can probably be traced back to Mr. Pei: On the one hand, Mr. Pei attaches great importance to the linkage and cooperation of various departments; on the other hand, there is no pressure for KPI competition among the heads of all departments. What Mr. Pei does is that everyone’s salary is not too different, and bonuses do not depend on profit but on word-of-mouth, so there will be no opinion between departments like some large companies.

Ping An Yu noticed that this OTTOE1 phone seems to have some changes from the phones on the market, the most intuitive is the phone's operating system.

The operating system of the original OTTO mobile phone is more biased towards the original Aizhuo, the interface is simple and clean, but it will also give people a too simple feeling.

However, this version of the operating system is richer in content. The UI animations of various systems have become smoother and more natural, with a lot of details. There are also many options in the system settings, which can better dig into the Aizhuo system. Some new functions; the icon of the camera system has been changed. After clicking it, you will find that there are some new functions in it, such as optimization algorithms for taking pictures, new filters and so on.

In addition, this system also integrates the function of AEEIS intelligent assistant. You can call out the voice assistant by pressing and holding the power button or directly talking to the mobile phone.

As for the AEEIS intelligent assistant, Yu Ping An doesn't know many details.

He only knows that this smart assistant also directly uses the latest artificial intelligence research results of Xunke Technology. The underlying technology is similar to the smart assistants, smart speakers and other products launched by other manufacturers. The only difference may only be in some details. Adjustment.

In addition, Chang You said that this is a "refined and easy-going intelligent system" that will add some poisonous properties and poetry functions.

But Yu Ping An didn't take it too seriously. Since all the underlying technologies use Information Technology, the difference between this voice assistant and other voice assistants should not be very big, not to mention this is the first version.

Yu Pingan said to the phone, "AEEIS."

After the clear beep of "di", a dark gray mask appeared on the phone screen, covering the original screen content, and some sci-fi colored waves appeared at the top of the screen.

The main part below this tilde is a display area for information, and there is another smaller tilde at the bottom.

The big sci-fi colored wave symbol at the top of the screen is the main body of AEEIS. It will jump according to the note only when AEEIS answers. When AEEIS does not answer, it will have some other dynamics, such as wavy. Scroll, or rotate regularly, which is used to show the current mood and state of AEEIS;

The small wave symbol collects the voice of the outside world, and it will jump with Yu Ping's speech.

The entire page is very concise, no extra text information.

Yu Ping'an has also used some other voice assistants, often displaying a lot of text on the page, including common questions and so on.But the interface of AEEIS is neat and clean, consistent with the usual style of ottoos.

Yu Ping'an had a good first impression of AEEIS.
