The End of Technology

In Ning Zi's room, the three people fell into silence at the same time.

Especially Ge Linyue, she had a lot of previews of the topics she would discuss after meeting Ning Zi, but she still didn't expect to hear such advice from Ning Zi.

Investing in a chip research center at Sports University?

This is different from investing in two new departments and building several laboratories.

The amount of money needed to invest in this thing is not comparable to that of building a department, not to mention that Ning Zi also said that he wanted to research new configurations.

This is no longer as simple as a new materials laboratory, it requires the cooperation of a whole set of laboratories.

What’s even more frightening is Ning Zi’s attitude. If there is really a harvest, Apple will not be able to enjoy the patent.

For a moment, Ge Linyue was not sure what Ning Zi was thinking.

What kind of prejudice does this have against Apple?

Well, she decided to communicate with Ning Ju in another way. She subconsciously scanned the environment in the room, and her eyes were suddenly attracted to March curled up on the window sill.

From the moment she walked into the room, Ge Linyue's attention had been focused on Ning Ju, and she really didn't notice that there was a kitten in the room.

"This cat is so cute, what's its name?" Ge Linyue suddenly asked.

Ning Zi glanced at Ge Linyue, then at the cat who was the best at pretending to be cute, curled her lips, and responded: "March."

"March? So he was born in March?"

"Meow……"

March yelled.

"Hey, do you understand that we are talking about it?"

Yue Yue jumped down from the window sill lightly, walked to Ge Linyue with cat steps, glanced at the woman twice, then walked to Ning Zi and jumped directly onto Ning Zi's knees, and then again He squinted his eyes and lay down.

Ning Zi hugged Yue Yue, rubbed the kitten's head with both hands, pondered for a moment and said: "If Apple is willing to invest in a highly modern chip R\u0026D center for the University, and if results are produced, Apple can give priority to the contract in the future." Obtain the right to use it at a low price. Of course, the copyright and patent ownership of the result itself should belong to the inventor."

Ge Linyue frowned and asked, "What if there are no results?"

Ning Zi replied expressionlessly: "If the R\u0026D center is built according to the scale agreed by both parties and puts into research and development without any results in three years, I can personally build a smarter Siri for Apple. Well, better than Youwei Group The mobile assistant that comes with the already released M10 is even smarter."

Ge Linyue thought for a while and asked: "So is the research center a one-time investment in construction or does it require continuous investment in research and development?"

Ning Zi also immediately replied: "Anyone is fine, but it will affect the floating ratio of the base price stipulated in the contract. To put it simply, if the one-time investment has yielded results, and Apple happens to want it, the price paid will be higher. If you continue to invest, the corresponding It will be very low.”

"So how to confirm this so-called reserve price?"

"First, there will be a professional evaluation after the results come out, and Apple can participate in it and determine the discounted price; second, the price Apple gets will be proportionally lower than the price authorized to other merchants."

Ge Linyue immediately asked: "My understanding is that the future TiDa Chip R\u0026D Center has developed a chip. If the external patent authorization price is determined to be a minimum of 10 million, the contract stipulates that Apple can enjoy a base price of 100 million yuan of the original price. Fifty percent, which means we can get the right to use it at a price of five million, and at the same time, the price for external licensing of the relevant technology of the R\u0026D center will not be less than ten million, is that what you mean?"

Ning Zi nodded and said, "Yes."

"All the results of the chip R\u0026D center are based on this principle?"

"yes."

"It sounds good, but the time limit is too tight. Even a small chip R\u0026D center will take at least one year from investment to completion. Adding in the three-year R\u0026D period, in other words, Apple will have to wait at least four years. , It will take five years to get results. This investment cycle is too long! If you can help me design a Siri after we sign the contract, we can finalize the cooperation plan today."

Ning Zi looked at Ge Linyue quietly, petting the cat quietly, but the cat also stared at her with its lovely eyes.

This made Ge Linyue feel a little uncomfortable...

Subconsciously, he moved his gaze to Chen Yonggang, who had remained silent, and then was slightly startled.

The president of the National Sports University seems to be - distracted?

Ge Linyue really felt a little messy. It's really weird here. Even if it's just construction of a chip R\u0026D center, regardless of the subsequent investment, it's still an investment of more than 1 billion. After all, the requirements of many laboratories in the center are extremely high.

But the principal didn't say a word. Is he really not afraid that she would go away and no longer consider cooperating with the University?

So who is in charge of the construction of the sports university now?

Before coming here, Ge Linyue had also studied Chen Yonggang. In fact, the principal and senior official of the Sports University Party had a very strong reputation. Is this called strong? !

Well, there was probably no help from the principal. Ge Linyue turned his eyes to Ning Ju again and said, "Is my request too much?"

This time Ning Zi answered quickly: "Yes."

Ge Linyue frowned and asked seriously: "Where is it too much?"

Ning Zi also replied seriously: "Many companies have money, and many companies can buy the equipment needed for chip research and development, but for the time being, only I have the relevant technology."

"The same goes for Youwei Group."

"no the same."

"What do you mean different?"

"Youwei Group is a way of realizing intelligence and has been authorized to them. Siri will be another way of implementation and can be authorized to you. And do you think Youwei Group can license related technologies to you?"

"Different implementations?"

"if not?"

In the second confrontation, Ge Linyue got stuck again.

But after a while, she, Ge Linyue, regained her composure and said, "But the cycle of three to five years is indeed too long."

Ning Zi replied casually: "Oh, it's okay."

"I'm sorry, what do you mean by okay?"

Ning Zi glanced at Ge Linyue in confusion, seeming to despise the general manager's understanding, but he still said more clearly: "It's okay if you don't cooperate."

Ge Linyue finally couldn't help it anymore, turned sideways formally, turned to look at Chen Yonggang and asked: "Principal Chen, is this also the opinion of the University of Physical Education?"

"Huh? What's your opinion?" Chen Yonggang came to his senses and asked subconsciously.

Let’s be honest, this principal is indeed in a daze.

In fact, Chen Yonggang is indeed considering a very important issue. The issue that he didn't think he needed to worry about before is now imminent. Should we apply for expansion on the original campus, or find another location to build a new campus? Which option is more feasible does require careful consideration.

As for the conversation between Ge Linyue and Ning Zi...

What does this have to do with him?

"We feel that the conditions put forward by Ning Ji are too harsh. These harsh conditions will directly affect the cooperation plans we have discussed." Ge Linyue said in a serious tone.

"Oh, that's it...that's really disappointing." Chen Yonggang said with regret.

But Ge Linyue's keen observation allowed her to hear a hint of relief in the tone of the principal who was trying to express regret.

How can I put it this way? It's like Ning Zi is forcing the principal to develop the school as soon as possible. In fact, the school management did not have as urgent a need for expanding majors and school development as she imagined.

Yes, Ge Linyue guessed at least half of it right.

For Chen Yonggang, the sudden expansion of the school is not entirely a good thing. As a school administrator, he hopes for sustainable and slow development so that everyone can relax.

This sudden addition of three natural science majors has almost thrown all departments of the school into chaos.

Not to mention that the school is quickly running out of space to continue to fill in people.

Even if a chip R\u0026D center is built, there is no experience at all in how to manage it.

Ning Zi may be very good at learning, but it is obvious that this guy must be even worse at management. By then, it will be a question whether so many secondary R\u0026D laboratories in the school can operate smoothly.

Really, what Chen Yonggang is most worried about now is not that the development of the university has come to a standstill, but that such disorderly development will lead to more and more problems in the future, and he may even end up making a wedding dress for others.

It's okay to build a new department, but to build a new chip research and development center, maybe it will be remembered by people who are less ethical than him.

Everyone is taking it easy, which is actually quite good.

The only bad thing is probably Ge Linyue...

Thinking from the perspective of a businessman, if someone is willing to invest and send money, isn’t this a political achievement? As a principal, you still don’t want to take the money?

So what kind of immortal figures are these people at Yanbei Sports University?

The students are not like students, and the principal is not like the principal!

Fortunately, Chen Yonggang saw Ge Linyue's confusion, and after thinking for a moment, he simply said bluntly: "Mr. Ge may not be very clear, but the school spirit of our sports university is inclusive. For students like Ning Ju, the research he does is similar to The school itself has nothing to do with it. So if you just want to contribute to the development of our sports university, then as the principal, I am very welcome and will definitely cooperate! But if you have something to ask for, then I am really sorry, the school will not Interfere with Ning Zi's decision-making. After all, all results are achieved through Ning Zi's personal efforts, and we are not qualified to point fingers, right?"

Hearing these heartfelt words, Ge Linyue nodded. She probably understood why Ning Zi didn't choose first-class universities like Yanbei and Huaqing. Good accommodation and superior living conditions can be provided anywhere, but this kind of freedom...

Really, Ge Linyue was a little envious.

…

Yanbei University, International Mathematics Research Center Library.

Ning Xiao was extremely distressed at this time.

The reason for her distress was that a few days ago, she was persuaded by Fang Xu and planned to use the opportunity of working in the library to enrich herself and then take the postgraduate entrance examination. The day before yesterday, I talked about this idea with Sister Gu in the library. As a result, several professors came to the library today to talk to her cordially...

Most professors were very reserved in their expressions, but Ning Xiao could understand that these professors happened to have places for in-service graduate students. If she decided on the relevant major and direction she wanted to study, she could contact them in advance to help her take some exams. Pre-counseling.

Of course, there are also people who express themselves more simply. As long as Ning Xiao is willing to take the postgraduate examination for in-service graduate students, he will definitely be admitted.

The majors covered are also diverse.

Fortunately, Ning Xiao told Sister Gu that she was not very good at science, so she would choose a social and humanities major when taking the postgraduate entrance examination. So most of the professors who came here also studied these aspects. Law, linguistics, education, political science, sociology.

Five professors gave five choices...

Of course this is not very important. The point is that Ning Xiao doesn't understand why she suddenly became so popular.

Although Ning Xiao suspected that it was related to Ning Zi, she couldn't figure out what Ning Zi could do to help these professors.

After finally seeing off a professor who had just come to borrow a book, Ning Xiao opened WeChat and sent a message to Fang Xu: "Today many professors asked me to study as their graduate students. What does that mean?"

After sending the message, I started to get busy. About an hour later, the other person responded: "What's going on?"

Before Ning Xiao could type, a voice request came directly from the other side.

"There was a class just now, so I just saw your WeChat account. You said that a professor invited you to study as a graduate student?"

"yes."

"How do they know you have the idea of ​​taking the postgraduate entrance examination? Have you told anyone else?"

"I mentioned it when I was chatting with Sister Gu the day before yesterday."

"Oh, that's right. I guess most of the professors who come to you can't get any projects or funding. Nowadays, social and humanities projects and research funds are more competitive. If I can get you to be a student, you will be able to do it in the future. It’s more secure when you’re scrambling for a topic.”

"What do you mean? I'm going to help the professor get the project?"

"Well... Actually, you don't need to go. You are Ning Ju's cousin. If you reveal this relationship, the experts responsible for reviewing the project may be biased? Besides, if you can ask your cousin to help If you make a phone call, the success rate will be higher. China's academic circle is so big, and your brother's reputation is relatively big now. I guess that's the case."

"Pfft... I knew it! Fortunately, I didn't agree. Is this all about using my Ning Zi as a cash cow?"

"Well, you can't actually say that. By the way, where are you going to eat at noon?"

"Let's learn from the Five Cafeterias, um, what? You want to treat me to dinner?"

"OK."

"Then don't go learn from Wu Canteen."

"That's okay. Going outside the school?"

"Haha, there's no need for that. Let's go to the farm cafeteria. Do you and my staff, the postgraduate students, want to take the exam? You intellectuals have too complicated ideas!"

"Okay, I'll pick you up. I'll be at the library soon."

…

Yanbei Sports University, girls dormitory building.

Four freshman girls from the Wushu Department of the Chinese Academy of Martial Arts and National Traditional Sports were watching videos on Station B in their dormitory.

The most delicate girl in the dormitory was livid, and the other three were already laughing so hard...

"Haha, Xiaoya, I really didn't expect this guy named Luo Lixin to be so funny. He ran to the Youwei flagship store early in the morning, publicly asked Xiaoyi to call you to confess his love to you, and even asked someone to film it and send it to B Stand on it! Hahaha... it’s so interesting!”

"Three of you are enough!" Lu Xiaoya turned her head and clenched her delicate little hands into extremely standard little fists...

Obviously this means that the funny boy is not here, otherwise he might really get a beating.

"Let me learn from you, cough, sister Xiaoya, my master Luo Lixin really likes you. He said that the moment he saw you, his heart almost stopped beating. In his nearly twenty years of In the course of his life, he has never seen a girl who combines beauty and aura like you. He has fallen into the deep sea of ​​love and wants to invite you to travel with him. If he does not have your company for the rest of his life, he would rather be alone. Shi Lao, this is the first time in his life that he has confessed his love to a girl, so just agree to it, okay?"

"And more...Sister Xiaoya, you are the little dragon girl in my master's heart. Your every frown and smile, and your stunning dance during military training have left a mark on his heart that can never be erased. If you give him a chance, he will promise you a bright future... Wow, such a beautiful love, Xiaoyi is so envious of it! Pfft... Hahaha..."

The three girls standing behind Lu Xiaoya were already holding their bellies in laughter.

Yes, when Lu Xiaoya received the inexplicable phone call early in the morning, everyone didn't think anything was wrong.

But when another girl in the dormitory saw the video recorded by a passerby at Station B, the three of them couldn't hold back...

Especially when this video was directly posted on Bilibili’s hot search, and “Confess to Sister Xiaoya” was about to go out of the circle and become a hot word on the Internet...

Really, the hot searches come so fast, like a tornado.

Especially on the video barrage at Station B, a bunch of guys who are obviously not serious are already there begging for sister Xiaoya’s beautiful photos and dancing videos.

But at this moment, Lu Xiaoya just wanted to beat up that inexplicable guy.

"You're still laughing...You're still laughing?"

"Well, Xiaoya, I think I recorded the video of you dancing that day. How about I post it on site B too? Maybe I can make a lot of coins. Can I treat you to dinner then?"

"Huang Siqi, how dare you!"

"Don't let outsiders get away with it. I wasn't the only one who recorded your dance that day. When some classmates see this, they will definitely think of you, and maybe they will also pass it on..."

Before Siqi finished speaking, Lu Xiaoya quickly searched for the four words "Sister Xiaoya" on Station B again. Sure enough, she saw that there was already a video titled "Sister Xiaoya you want". It was really that day. A scene of her dancing at a military training party.

It was a semi-improvised Chinese-style dance. Although the dance was dressed in military training uniforms and the dubbing was blue and white porcelain played directly by classmates on their mobile phones, the youthful and graceful figure and the aura of the dance could not be concealed by these external circumstances.

Especially in the middle of the dance, there is a movement of first leaning sideways and lowering the head and then quickly raising the head. The hat that was worn during the general training is thrown off, and the long hair is lifted up in an instant, creating a more enchanting beauty out of thin air...

The only good thing was that it was a party in the evening, and their class was assigned to a corner of the square, and the lights were not bright. In addition, the camera of the mobile phone may not be very good. I can only see the figure dancing to the singing, and the face is still quite blurry...

Lu Xiaoya also noticed that the upload time was only 15 minutes, the number of views had reached more than 1,200, and there were more than 30 comments, and her whole body suddenly became worse.

"Ah... tell me quickly, who is that guy named Luo Lixin?! I'm going to go to the boys' dormitory and tear him apart right now!"

Yes, after all, we were all still freshmen, and we had only had a few classes together. The name Luo Lixin was familiar to her, and she knew he was her classmate, but she could not match the name with the specific person.

"Hey, Xiaoya, don't make trouble. Are you going to send it to your door?"

"That's right, if you really go to someone's boys' dormitory to find someone, it's not certain who will tear you apart."

"Actually, you can't just blame our classmates. If you want me to say this, you have to blame the genius in the school's mathematics department. The Youwei Group has already said that some great master helped them create their little art. Otherwise, you Let’s go and kill the great guy from the mathematics department first.”

"That's right, that's right, let the master compensate each of us in the dormitory with an M10pro, and it will be regarded as your mental loss."

"Haha, don't be angry, my sisters will treat you to dinner tonight! Then we will seriously discuss how to talk to the master about compensation!"

The three sisters in the dormitory, laughing and holding Lu Xiaoya, who was about to go berserk...

Although they have not been in contact for a long time, the three of them all know that although Lu Xiaoya looks petite and beautiful, she is really brave and dares to go to the boys' dormitory and beat someone up...

There is no other reason. Everyone still remembers what Xiaoya's father, a tall and burly man, reluctantly said to his daughter before leaving: "Xiaoya, if you are bullied by a boy at school, Call dad and tell him, dad is here to help you vent your anger!"

During this period of contact, I learned that Xiaoya’s father still practiced free boxing, won a national championship, and now works as a coach at the Provincial Sports Institute.

Think about it, in this family, beating people might be due to their family background.

"That's enough for you, what does this have to do with Ning Zi?"

"Why doesn't it matter? If he hadn't created this little art for Youwei, Luo Lixin would not have thought of this way to express his love to you, and this would not have happened. So, it's all Ning Zi's fault!"

"Yes, it's all Ning Zi's fault!"

"And that Xiaoyi's voice doesn't sound very serious. It means that the great god may not be serious either. Hey... Really, Xiaoya, you can consider seducing the great god. If you succeed..."

"Huang Siqi, you still dare to say that you should die..."

The four girls suddenly got into a fuss.

Well, at least most of the depression about being inexplicably exposed on the Internet has disappeared.

…

Of course, Ning Zi didn't know that he had become a not-so-serious master among several girls in his class. If I knew, I would probably just feel very wronged. After all, he has never participated in the various debugging of these voice assistants, nor has he suggested which voice actors should be hired to dub Xiaoyi.

For specific technologies, these are minutiae. Of course, it was impossible for him to explain this to a layman.

He still has a lot to deal with. For example, the general manager of Apple's Greater China region in front of me.

Ning Zi was willing to talk to Ge Linyue, so she naturally had a purpose.

It’s not that Apple is rich. As Ning Zi said to Ge Linyue, many companies have money. But technology has a very obvious characteristic. If you don’t invest money, you will definitely not get it; but if you invest a lot of money, you may not be successful, and even if it is successful, the effect may not be as expected.

But one good thing about a large international company like Apple is that it has a good reputation. There are always various ways to buy some advanced instruments and equipment that are very difficult for China to import. The most important thing is that we can specially customize the most advanced instruments and equipment.

China is an industrial power.

But this big one mainly has a complete range of categories and a complete industrial chain. There is still a considerable gap between laboratory instruments in the most sophisticated fields. Although more than 20 years have passed since the Wassenaar Agreement, it is still in effect.

So it would still be beneficial if we could reach cooperation with Apple. According to the calculation just made in March, it can save at least three to five years.

But there is no need to rush into negotiations.

This happens to be in line with Ning Zi's temperament.

He's really not in a hurry.

It just so happened that Ge Linyue was really in a hurry.

"Ning Zi, five years is really too long. If we just donate a chip R\u0026D center to the University of Sports, but do not set a minimum price requirement for the results of the future chip R\u0026D center, can this time be brought forward? For example, in the near future, we can help our Siri upgrade?"

Ning Zi glanced at Ge Linyue and asked, "Are you sure?"

Ge Linyue replied: "It's just one of the cooperation plans. You have to at least tell me what you think so that I can make a choice."

Ning Zi touched the cat's head quietly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "That's not impossible. You first build the R\u0026D center according to the cooperation content mentioned before. In addition, I will draw up a list of required equipment for you. , the functions of some of the instruments need to be specially customized. Once these instruments are in place, I can help you upgrade Siri."

"That will be at least a year later." Ge Linyue said while holding back her anger.

"Well, if you hurry up, maybe ten months will be enough." Ning Zi replied.

"Do you think we will break the contract after we signed it?"

"I'm just a student. Apple is a world-class company. I don't have any countermeasures, so naturally it's better to be safe."

"Precisely because we are a world-class company, we pay more attention to reputation."

"Oh!" Ning Zi glanced at the time on the computer and said, "There are still fifteen minutes."

Ge Linyue was stunned and said in surprise: "What fifteen minutes?"

Ning Zi glanced at Chen Yonggang and said, "Didn't Principal Chen tell you? My visiting time for school matters is only until two o'clock in the afternoon. After two o'clock, I need to do my research."

Chen Yonggang immediately replied sonorously and forcefully: "I must have said this."

Ge Linyue frowned deeper and asked, "You mean if I can't confirm it in fifteen minutes, we won't talk about cooperation this time?"

Ning Zi shrugged and said, "We can wait until this time tomorrow."

"I..." Ge Linyue took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to explode, and said, "I need to make a phone call."

"Oh, there is a conference room at the corner of the building. I will take you there." Chen Yonggang nodded and said proactively.

"Thanks."

…

USA, Apple headquarters.

It was already late at night, long past the usual rest time, but Tim Cook was still in the study, processing documents one after another.

Many people have misunderstandings about Tim Cook's abilities. They believe that after the Apple CEO took over Apple, this once great company has gradually lost its original aura.

But it's obvious that these people's evaluations are biased.

In fact, shareholders within Apple are extremely positive about Tim Cook's work.

Even though Steve Jobs was full of genius, for Apple's shareholders, they even prefer the new CEO who usually doesn't like to perform but allows Apple to continue to create glory amidst criticism.

Yes, most of Tim Cook's critics have overlooked his strong management skills and magician-like ability to allocate resources.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, even a paranoid person like Steve Jobs has great trust in Tim Cook. Such a character is definitely not too simple.

What Tim Cook is doing at this time is to reallocate Apple's global resources and supply chain to pave the way for the subsequent sales of the Iphone 8 series.

The sudden outbreak of Youwei Group’s M10 series products is a black swan event for Apple. Making a time difference at this time is undoubtedly the most advantageous option. Users' smartphone updates have their own inherent frequency. Generally speaking, customers who purchased a flagship model of a certain brand that year will not consider flagship mobile phones from other brands for at least one year.

Fortunately, Apple's 8 series mobile phone products were released one month ahead of the promising M10 series, and 60% of the annual shipment plan has been completed.

The subsequent release of the M10 will definitely affect Apple's sales in the high-end market, so part of the production capacity can be released to other markets around the world first.

This was Green Moon’s suggestion, but Tim Cook was only going to listen to half of it.

He plans to develop more flexible sales policies for Europe and North America first.

Youwei Group has currently obtained CE ROHS in Europe and FCC certification in the United States. However, the good news is that Youwei Group has upgraded its smartphone assistant, which also means that upgrades in this area may require separate review.

This time difference can allow Apple to occupy most of the market first to ensure the sales of Apple 8 series products and ensure that Apple's annual financial report remains as excellent as ever.

November is about to enter, and Thanksgiving is approaching. If we can seize the wave of activities during this Thanksgiving, so that there is enough stock for the Apple 8 series, and another wave of sales peaks, this year's task will be almost completed.

That's what Tim Cook is doing now. Through the deployment of global resources, we will ensure the supply of key global markets in the future.

Until the phone suddenly rang.

Tim Cook is temporarily relieved from a pile of documents that need to be re-signed.

Very good, it was the call he was waiting for.

"Hello, Ge, tell me, there is good news, right?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cook, maybe the news is not that exciting. Here's the situation..."

Tim Cook listened quietly to the report on the other side with a calm expression.

Until the report to the other side is completed.

"Okay, I probably understand. Today your task is to get the list of equipment and instruments he needs first, and then forward it to my mailbox. As the kid said, there is no need to rush this matter. Everything Everything will be fine, right?"

"Of course, Mr. Cook."

"But you can stay in the Chinese capital for a few days."

"Okay, that's what I plan to do."

"Well, that's good. Goodbye."

"goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, Tim Cook stretched and it was time to rest.

…

"Equipment and instrument list?"

"Of course, we need to first evaluate whether this cooperation is valuable." After the phone call with Tim Cook, Ge Linyue became visibly tougher.

"Okay, I'll send it to your email." Ning Zi nodded.

"This evaluation may take some time." Ge Linyue said casually.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

"Maybe we're not in a hurry either."

"That's good. Oh, by the way, Samsung Electronics will hold a future technology forum in Beijing on the 28th of this month. There will be a keynote speech by an AI expert and I will be invited to attend. It is said that many companies in the industry have received invitations. Will Apple send people to participate when the time comes?"

Ge Linyue was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know yet."

"Oh, that's a pity. We could have been together. I prefer situations where we have many acquaintances. Goodbye."

"goodbye."

The time card was just right, exactly two o'clock.

Ning Zi was actually very busy today. He planned to seize the time and finish the things he needed to do before going to Qiangdun Company for target practice in the evening. He had already made an agreement with Zhang Haifeng in advance and could not miss the appointment.

…

Shencheng, in the restaurant inside the headquarters of Youwei Group.

Ge Dongshu, who has rushed back after the press conference, is fulfilling his previous promise and treating a group of voice assistant R\u0026D engineers who have been suffering for a month to dinner.

The meal was of a very high standard.

But it's definitely worth it.

After all, the sales data in the background says it all.

You must know that this time for M10, Youwei Group is really determined to succeed if it fails, and has 40 million units in stock worldwide.

Compared with the starting price of M104499, this stocking scale is enough to show confidence. Among them, there are as many as 25 million units in stock prepared for China, and now they have all been sold out, and even orders have covered the entire production capacity in November.

The headquarters has just made a decision to temporarily transfer the stock from other regions in Asia back to China.

In any case, M10 has succeeded in hitting the high end. But for the sales to be so popular, the smart voice assistant naturally contributed a lot.

"Everyone, let me toast you all first. After dinner today, everyone will go back and have a good rest for the day. But there is still a tough battle to fight. The overseas press conference in half a month will be left to you."

When Ge Dongshu started to toast at the table, a group of technicians raised their glasses in a dignified manner.

"Mr. Ge, don't worry, we will never let anything slip."

Finally, after three tables of drinks were toasted, Ge Dongshu returned to his table, looked at Liao Zhengqiang, and said seriously: "Old Liao, didn't we sign an agreement with the National Sports University? We will send two scientists or technicians every year The staff are going to teach students, why don't you prepare a little and go to the National Sports University to hold a class after next September and study hard by the way?"

"Ahem...I'm going to give a lecture?"

"What are you afraid of? Take an elective and teach some basic programming knowledge for R\u0026D. Prepare half a year in advance. With your eloquence, you will definitely be fine."

"No, aren't you afraid that I will fight with that Ning Zi?"

"Haha, don't worry. When you actually go there, you'll find that it's impossible to start a fight. He won't even bother to pay attention to you even if you say ten words."

"Huh...then, okay."

…

USA, California.

The piercing sound of the phone woke up Mylan Kermit from his deep sleep. He closed his eyes and grabbed at the cabinet next to the bed. He finally caught the phone, then hung up and fell asleep again.

Unfortunately, the caller obviously didn't think it was shameful to disturb someone's sleep, so he called again regardless.

"Fk!"

Not so beautiful words came out of his mouth. Myron Kermit suddenly sat up from the bed. He first raised his hands and covered his face. He rubbed it fiercely for a few times. After regaining some energy, he took the I picked up the phone I had just put on the bedside.

After looking at the caller ID, he looked suspicious, but still answered the call.

"Hey, damn it, Conan, if you are still on a so-called academic visit to damn Europe, I would like to ask you to pay attention to the damn time difference. It is 2 o'clock in the morning now, and I sleep so soundly!"

"Sleep? My God, Myron Kermit, how can you still sleep? Forget it, have you watched the latest product launch video of Youwei Group?"

"What is the Youwei Group?"

"God, please wake up, China's promising group!"

"Oh, what? They released a new network device?"

"No, no, no, it's a mobile phone launch. You should see it. They showed off an epoch-making artificial intelligence assistant. And this inspired me, you know? Do you still remember the formulas I summarized using the turbulence algorithm? ?After watching the press conference, an inspiration suddenly came to me, a very bold inspiration, which gave me a new understanding of one of the formulas."

"Oh? What do you know?"

"I first assumed that these formulas are strongly related to algorithmic information theory, and randomly used a formula to bring it into multiple randomly solved problems. You can understand that I was trying my luck, but my luck was good, because one of them In the process of introducing the formula, it really solved a problem. It is a very complicated problem. God, do you want to know my conclusion?"

After listening to Conan Lamar's words, Myron Kermit suddenly let out a heavy breath.

"Conan, you know? In fact, I don't want to listen, because I have already listened to your advice and resigned from Cisco. So no matter how attractive those damn formulas are, or how many secrets are hidden in them, it doesn't concern me anymore. What's going on? Even because of my ridiculous reason for leaving, even if you find a complete solution to the problem, I can't go back. Okay, now tell me, have you solved the damn problem? "

The person on the other side was obviously not ready for McLen Kermit's sudden outburst. He was stunned for a moment before replying: "Of course not. In fact, I am calling you to tell you that if you haven't resigned yet, resign as soon as possible. Because although I haven't figured out what these formulas mean, I am already sure that what Cisco is doing now is dancing on a powder keg. Of course, it's not just Cisco, except Youwei Group, you are all like this .”

After hearing this answer, Myron Kermit suddenly felt his little heart twisting again: "Dancing on a powder keg?"

"Yes, there is no doubt that I even dare to bet you that Youwei gave up the foreign market deliberately. No matter how you grab the market, you will spit it out. But the scary thing is that I issued a warning through Twitter, But no one pays attention!”

Myron Kermit became energetic and said in a deep voice: "Ahem, Lamar, do you want to listen to my advice? Stop expressing your ridiculous opinions. Unless you can really solve those problems, don't Now, do you remember what I told you? No one can step on the brakes now! If you don’t want to be taken into the ditch with that car, I strongly suggest you just pretend that nothing happened! Trust me, delete your tweets before no one is looking!”
