Chapter 59 Valuation of 10 billion US dollars?

Apple's stock price dropped 1% after the opening hour, and its market value evaporated by $8.2 billion.Apple's stock price is still fluctuating, falling for three consecutive days before finally stabilizing. The three-day decline is close to 4%. For any company, this decline is very large, especially for giants like Apple.

When there was such a big drop last time, it was Apple's announcement that it would charge Apple's rewards.This sudden drop reminds people of smart assistants.

Apple's system is closed source, unable to support smart assistants, and will no longer have an advantage in the next mobile phone market.Apple’s mobile phone is the most profitable of many businesses. All Apple’s stock prices have shown a downward trend. Although the decline is not very large, the impact has already come out.

This impact caused an uproar in the market, and many media began reporting on this topic.

"Has the marching ants formed?"--New York Times

"Rising Giants?——Wall Street Journal

"The aggressive marching ants!——The Times

...

Numerous reports are overwhelming, discussing the threat of marching ants.

It was lively outside, and the Apple headquarters was not calm. A researcher with a hawk nose and beard looked at the screen code on the computer with a gloomy expression.

It has been a week since they hacked back documents from the database of March Ant.

This week, he was trying to crack this folder.After trying for so long, I haven't made any progress until today.

He didn't expect that the marching ant company was so difficult to deal with, and actually encrypted the data, making him want to break his scalp.

The company’s recent stock market is not so good, and he is constantly urged to crack the data packet and get the source code of the smart assistant, otherwise he will definitely be scolded.

"OK."

The man sitting in the computer chair finally smiled.Before long, the man's smile froze on his face, and he saw a pile of garbled characters on it, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Snapped……

When the computer screen went black, all the computers next to it were black.This scene made the man's pupils shrink.

"Fuck!"

The man shouted angrily and hit the keyboard with a punch.Needless to say, the person from the March Ant Company planted a virus in the data packet and he was fooled.

With the black screen of the computer, commotion began in the office area.

Marching Ant Company.

Chen Mo smiled slightly when he heard Mo Nu's report.

He has asked Mo Nu to implant a tracking virus in the data packet. As long as the data packet is cracked, the computer will be dead when the virus disperses. This is just a small lesson for them.

Standing up from the position, Chen Mo put on his lab coat and walked into the laboratory.

Chen Mo is very peaceful here, but the domestic network is not peaceful.With the popularity of smart assistants, more and more interesting things have also burst out from the Internet.

On Weibo, someone posted about his girlfriend quarreling with his smart assistant, and then smashed his phone in a fit of anger.After this video was uploaded to the Internet, it attracted a lot of onlookers and laughter.

Fluttershy's chat function is also vividly and exquisitely reflected in a short video.

This is not an isolated case. It has been occupied by a group of complainers under the official Weibo of March Ant Company.

"I've never seen such an arrogant intelligent assistant. Every time I scold it, it doesn't respond and makes me smash it. It bullies me and dare not fight it? Let alone, I just bought a new phone now."

"Product quality problem, marching ants, you pay for my phone. I scolded it, and it made me put it in the water. I forgot that it was not butterfly eyes."

"It seems that I am not the only one who was injured. Fortunately, the screen burst and I can change it."

"Brothers, push me up, my phone is Nokia..."

Although the painting style is strange and funny, many people see the key points.

The ability to have such a flexible voice interaction function is undoubtedly telling everyone that the artificial intelligence of the marching ant company is already at the forefront of research.

Artificial intelligence is the main development trend of future technology.

Whoever makes a major breakthrough in this field will rule the future market.In the artificial intelligence market, some people have done research a long time ago. All many technology companies have invested a lot of money in the research of artificial intelligence.

Many market evaluation companies began to evaluate the value of the marching ant company, and finally Morgan Corporation made a valuation of 10 billion US dollars.

This valuation shocked the financial market.But many people do not agree with Morgan's estimate, thinking that this valuation is too low.

Not to mention the marching ant system and butterfly eye mobile phones, just the existence of intelligent assistants, the market value has exceeded 10 billion US dollars.

Entering the global market in the future, even if only 50 million mobile phone users pay to use smart assistants, March Ant's annual revenue will have 12 billion Chinese currency.

This is only the lowest estimate. There are billions of smart phones in the world. A little optimistic. With smart assistants, the future of Marchant Company is limitless, and there are many derivative products of smart assistants.

US$10 billion is just a minimum valuation.For the marching ant company that has not yet been developed, the market value of the marching ant company will definitely be comparable to those giants.

The rise of marching ants caused a huge sensation in China.

All kinds of reports on marching ants were overwhelming. For a while, marching ants once again became the focus of discussion.

Founded less than a year ago, with only two product launches, March Ant Corporation has become one of the domestic technology giants, which is a legendary rise.

There has never been a technology company that has risen at such a rapid rate.

In the eyes of the storm, the marching ant company is busy at this time.After the intelligent assistant came out, the marching ant company once again ushered in an opportunity for expansion.

Zhao Min is sitting in the office dealing with the entire pile of documents. She has a headache at this time.

After the intelligent assistant came out, the marching ant company ushered in the biggest development period.This time, it has to expand or not. The company's popularity has reached a peak. The company must be expanded to operate better.

But the problem lies here. If you expand too quickly, the company is prone to problems.

According to various reports from the outside, no one knows how powerful the marching ant company is. No one knows better than Zhao Min. Now that the marching ant company is short of talents, the speed of talent training cannot keep up with the company's development.

When the Butterfly Eye mobile phone was released last time, the company had already deployed in major domestic cities.

Now that the scale is expanding, talents can't keep up.In order to be able to develop faster, now capable managers of headhunting companies have been recruited and sent to major cities to set up branches.

Moreover, preparations for national recruitment and recruitment of talents have already begun.The marching ant company, like a large machine, requires a combination of small gears to operate.

"Trouble." Zhao Min put down the file and knocked on his head, exhaling deeply.

Smart assistants are selling wildly. During this period, the company's revenue is almost as good as daily revenue.A lot of money means more troubles.

Not long after Zhao Min put down the file, Xiao Yu walked in: "Sister Zhao, Mr. Yu Chengnan, CEO of China Micro Terminal, wants to see you. Now I'm in the reception room."
