Giant of the times

"dad!"

Li Zetian was working on documents in the study, and William walked in from the door. There was a hint of excitement on his face. After learning that his sister was going to start a business independently, he also wanted to start a business, so he ran over without hesitation.

"Well, I'm in such a hurry, is there something wrong?" Li Zetian raised his head.

"Dad, I heard that my sister wants to start a business, and so do I!" William said loudly, puffing out his chest.

"You're still young, let's talk about it in a few years." Li Zetian had long expected that William would come to him.

William has also grown up and is currently a freshman at Stanford University. He has grown up listening to the legendary stories of Li Zetian since he was a child. He regards his father as his idol. At the same time, he also hopes that he can be like his father and achieve remarkable achievements. Therefore, he is eager to start a business as soon as possible!

However, in Li Zetian's view, it is still necessary to study for a few more years in college, especially since his eldest son William will inherit the entire business empire in the future. It was only in his freshman year that he wanted to start a business. Li Zetian definitely disagreed. of.

"Dad, sister can do it, why can't I? You are partial!"

"Your sister is more than two years older than you. When you reach your junior year and need an internship, I will give you a chance!" Li Zetian said seriously, "Your task now is to study. If you don't have strong knowledge to arm yourself, do you think Is starting a business that easy?”

William was taught a lesson by Li Zetian and left in despair.

The next morning, Youran brought a plan and came to Li Zetian happily.

"Dad, this is my plan, what do you think of it?"

Li Zetian took over a dozen pages of bound documents and read them carefully.

A few minutes later, Li Zetian nodded to Youran and said, "Well, you did a good job. It seems that you have put in a lot of effort!"

In this planning book, in addition to what the two of them talked about yesterday, Youran also put forward many new ideas.

There are many countries around the world that use English, so Youran proposed the establishment of the "Qidian International Novel Website". The novels on this website are naturally all in English. Then, corresponding novel websites will be established based on the native languages ​​of each country. If there are excellent works, they can be translated into English and logged into the "Qidian International Novel Website". Of course, excellent English novels can also be translated into languages ​​of various countries.

It's just that the idea is good, but to implement it, you have to have extremely strong financial resources. Ordinary entrepreneurs can have a good time... Not to mention that recruiting local people in various countries to set up a novel website is a huge expense. It is not easy to hire a large number of excellent translators.

Li Zetian discovered that his daughter's business plan was not at all conventional.

"What is the initial budget? Have you calculated it?" Li Zetian asked.

Youran shook his head and said: "I haven't done any research yet. How can I calculate it so clearly? Anyway... it should probably cost one billion US dollars! After all, when the website just started, I still have to pay high salaries to those well-known online writers or entities Hire the best-selling author among the books!"

Li Zetian: "..."

"Dad, what's going on? Do you support it or not?" Seeing that her father seemed speechless about her thoughts, Youran panicked and quickly hugged his arm, shaking and coquettishly.

Li Zetian said unhurriedly: "Although your ideas are a bit too ambitious and unrealistic, after all, you are just preparing to start a business and you are a newcomer." Li Zetian changed the subject and said, "However, it is not completely impossible. After all, with our family With your strength, it is really easy to achieve these things. Originally, I wanted you to start in the United States or China to get some training, but I didn’t expect you to make the situation so big all at once... Anyway, we Li When the descendants of the family go out to start a business, they must be extraordinary!!! Well, I have decided to support you! However, since you want to do it, you must do it seriously and go all out. During this preparation period, you can ask more about Sai Lena and Vanessa ask for help. At the same time, I will also transfer some people from the family’s think tank team to help you.”

"Thank you dad!!!" Youran was almost dancing with joy, her excitement was palpable.

Li Zetian said at this time: "I have another idea here, adding artificial intelligence translation. You have to know that there are many people who write online novels, and how can there be so many translators in the world? Furthermore, what are the capabilities of these translators? The remuneration is very expensive, and we must find ways to reduce costs. It is a good idea to introduce artificial intelligence translation mechanism. Once artificial intelligence translation reaches a certain level, readers who want to read any novel will not have barriers due to different languages. "

Youran thought deeply: "Dad, is artificial intelligence translation reliable?"

Li Zetian smiled and said: "Haha, at present, artificial intelligence translation is indeed very unreliable, let alone translating literary works. Translation is a very profound knowledge, which requires a very high level of attainment. And I The reason why we proposed to add an artificial intelligence translation mechanism to the Qidian website actually has another purpose, which is to cultivate artificial intelligence! For a long time after the Qidian novel website was launched, the artificial intelligence translation was in the deactivation stage. , its mission is to learn, learn from every translator!"

"The number of translators is limited, so they can only translate novels with excellent performance. Then, some novels with average performance can be translated by artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence learns and practices at the same time. I believe that after a few years, or more than ten years, , artificial intelligence can become a top translator! Even... we can also consider letting artificial intelligence write novels!"

Li Zetian paused and said with a smile, "After the translation level of artificial intelligence reaches a very high level, so many novels are stored in the 'brain', it must be very easy for it to write a novel. Well~ maybe, it It can also bring us great surprises and write a masterpiece!!!"

Hearing this, Youran couldn't help but froze, and murmured: "Artificial intelligence can remember all novels, so... what kind of book will artificial intelligence write by taking the essence of all novels? Oh, my God, it's really amazing. look forward to!!"

At this time, Li Youran found it more and more interesting to create a novel website.

Li Zetian smiled slightly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. For him, the novel website is nothing. What is important is that it can enable the rapid development of artificial intelligence. Therefore, no matter what, he will help his daughter develop the Qidian Novel website.

Well, as for the name "Qidian", it was given by Li Zetian.

If nothing else, it’s just because I’m used to it.

Youran quickly went to Selena and Vanessa excitedly and asked them to help her make suggestions.

A week later, Youran registered an overseas offshore company, Qidian Group, in the Cayman Islands. At the same time, Qidian subsidiaries have been established in more than ten countries including the United States, Russia, China, France, Germany, South Korea, and Japan. The Qidian international version of the novel website and the local version websites of each country are also in full swing. As for the translator, you won’t need to hire one until the Qidian Novel website is on track. As for online writers and best-selling authors, this is the time to dig...
