565 Once, Present, Future

More than 10 years ago, Google withdrew from the Chinese market, and the reason given to the outside world was that the company was oppressed while Google insisted on its own values, so it decided not to play with the Chinese people.

But in fact, of course, the reason cannot be so simple, for a listed company like Google, compared to huge profits, the so-called values are actually like a veil on the bride, waiting to be lifted.

The reasons are actually more complicated, but subjectively speaking, Google's arrogant mentality towards China definitely accounts for a large proportion.

For example, at the helm of Google, the people at the helm did not see Huaxia as a huge market that needed to be taken seriously.

At that time, personal PCs in Huaxia were not popular, and network construction was naturally not as developed as it is now, and at that time, Internet cafes were still the only choice for most Chinese people to surf the Internet.

Google's senior management believes that Huaxia is a small market, so they are not very concerned about all aspects of investment.

For example, the construction of servers and bandwidth leasing are very perfunctory.

In October 2008, Mango Satellite TV launched a reality talk show "Everyday Upward", just such a program that had just begun to flourish at that time, it was able to overwhelm Google's servers in search, and the number of people supported by Google in search can be imagined.

After this operation was exposed, it was hard to believe that Google was already the world's top search engine service provider at that time.

It is precisely because of its arrogance that it does not value the Chinese market, so it has a serious lack of understanding of the search habits of Chinese people.

For example, Li Chongxin, who grew up outside China and stayed abroad for a long time, and did not know much about China, was appointed as the person in charge of Huaxia Google.

From a set of data, we can see Google's dilemma in China back then.

In 2006, Google's market share in Chinese-language search was 25.3%, but by 2009, its market share had fallen to 12.7%.

God knows what Google has done in the past three years, and nearly half of the market share has been pushed into the hands of Wandu.

This made the arrogant Google unable to hold face, and after Li Chongxin resigned, he simply gave up the Chinese market, which they regarded as chicken ribs.

However, then something terrible happened, who would dare to think that after 2010, Huaxia officially entered the fast lane of Internet technology development.

The network speed of telecommunications changes almost every year, and within a few years, optical fiber even directly penetrated various communities in Huaxia cities.

The income of Chinese people has also begun to grow explosively in the past ten years, once buying a computer may require a family's salary for several months, naturally have to think about it, but a few years later, the computer has become one of the necessary electrical appliances in urban families, with a computer that does not play games much, the price has also dropped to about the point that the average urban family is a month or even half a month's salary.

Later, smartphones began to spread,

As a result, there has also been an explosive growth of Chinese netizens.

In 2010, there may have been only 10 million netizens in Huaxia, but by 2020, in just ten years, there will be about 940 million Chinese netizens in official statistics, and Huaxia has become the world's largest Internet market.

Apple, Microsoft, Intel, AMD, Oracle, Qualcomm and other Silicon Valley companies, these years from the Chinese market to make a lot of money, but early entry into the Chinese market Google can not get a piece of the pie, even if the secret push of Android into China, but the well-known Google three-piece set can not be embedded in the Chinese market, God knows how much criticism the Google executives who decided to withdraw from the Chinese market.

Now, if there is an opportunity to return to the Chinese search market, how can Sundar Pichai not be impressed?

......

Li Wanhong is also reminiscing about the past.

I have to say that the former Wandu was also very ambitious, and was able to stand out in the competition with Google, and Wandu did work hard back then. Wandu stickers, Wandu knows, and so on, Wandu products that have led an era are the results of that time. Of course, the most important thing is that Wandu Search understands the usage habits of Chinese people better.

This also made Wandu stand out from the encirclement and suppression of search engines such as Google and Sopig, and achieved a hegemony.

Now it's the tiger falling in Pingyang being bullied by dogs!

After Dong Yuehui left, Li Wanhong had already figured out the information about the whole thing.

In all fairness, this incident is really not a big deal.

In fact, the Pengcheng Huaxia Travel Agency in this incident did not have too many violations, it was nothing more than that the website logo was made more like CIT.

As for the fact that the promises of travel agencies are not in line with reality, and that shopping is mandatory on Hong Kong Island, it is probably true.

But the problem is that travel agencies that are not found through Wandu search can also have a similar situation.

Li Wanhong couldn't figure out how this kind of bad thing was noticed by the central media, and he couldn't figure out how to remove Wandu's products from the shelves for such a bad thing, and it also caused such a big condemnation.

Now although Wandu has taken action and invited people to start hearing and hearing on the Internet, the situation is not very optimistic.

Basically, now as long as someone speaks for Wandu on the Internet, they are sprayed by a group of people into a water army, a washing dog, what five cents, brothers have money to earn together, etc., and the ridicule is all over the comment area.

Every ridicule is like a knife in Li Wanhong's chest.

Or in the past, he could turn a blind eye to these comments, but when Wandu encountered a crisis, even with his status, he was able to talk and laugh freely, let alone spit on himself.

Unfortunately, reminiscing about the past does not solve the problems of the present.

Application software relies on the operating system to operate, and in the same way, the operating system needs countless software support to be accepted by the public.

It stands to reason that the rise of the domestic operating system to be accepted by the Chinese people, at least through several stages, such as through a variety of publicity to attract more users, gradually change user habits, envelop software providers, and provide enough rich software products for the operating system, which often requires years of time and energy and a large amount of money to layout.

But the success of the Xin system does not make sense.

The brain-computer chip and the matching intelligent software, as well as the rapid follow-up of various professional software, easier operation and diversified use methods, make this system quickly popular in China, according to the news that Li Wanhong understands, even many people in Europe and the United States are looking forward to this system.

After Google, Amazon and Changxiang Technology reached a cooperation agreement, the stock prices of these two companies rose against the market, which is enough to show that the news he got was correct.

In other words, because customers vote with their feet, now it is the software companies that need to seek to enjoy the cooperation of technology, in this case, if the system provider is strong enough, Wandu can not come up with much to talk about.

If even the position of public opinion does not have an advantage, is it really necessary to tear down and rebuild the entire advertising bidding system?

Before officially contacting Yuxin Technology, Li Wanhong began to panic.

......

Yuxin Technology, everything is as usual.

The pot has been fried on the Internet, but after entering this building, there is no impact.

In fact, for the R&D personnel in the laboratory, this moment is definitely the most relaxed and happy time, especially for a group of personnel, the busiest period has passed, although the press conference is imminent, but in fact, there are not many things to do, every day is nothing more than to record the operation of Xiaozhi.

Researchers who are interested in travel have already begun to discuss where to go during the vacation after the conference.

Even Senior Brother Cao, who has never been very interested in such things as fun, began to discuss with his fiancée about traveling and getting married.

The bonus of the quantum computer project is very generous, and in addition to the welfare of Yuxin Technology, with Cao Luping's qualifications, according to the company's promise, as long as you get married, you can be allocated a small three-room wedding room, so this marriage really has to be concluded.

The only ones who weren't lucky were probably the researchers who were assigned to Old John's staff.

is still working hard for the construction of Xiaozhi 2.

But with Ash's success, the construction of Ash 2 is also progressing very quickly, and if everything goes well, it will be completed in about three months.

As far as the current situation is concerned, there will be no accidents, and there is one of the most favorable points for the promotion of the Xiaozhi II project, that is, the entire construction process, Xiaozhi can track and even make suggestions throughout the process.

That's one of the things that makes AI so special.

Ash has a great passion for building the same kind of body, and it can even analyze the operation status of his own body to provide various suggestions for the construction of Ash II.

This was definitely a very novel experience for Old John. This also made John Sr. seem quite internationalistic, and now he has almost treated the laboratory as an apartment, and he does not leave it 24 hours a day.

Even the men under Old John breathed a sigh of relief.

With Ash's intimate little assistant, John Sr. didn't have time to be angry with those in the group, but the most unlucky one was probably Jackson.

Others can be lazy, but he can't.

As John Sr.'s first assistant, he was asked by John Sr. to be on call.

What's even more tragic is that this is not required by the company, but an order given by Old John himself.

If anything at work is unsatisfactory, such as not doing a good job in the laboratory preparations, not making an appointment in advance for the instruments that need to be used, resulting in waiting or queuing for a cold start, missing laboratory tools, etc., John Sr. will lose his temper with Jackson.

In the face of such an old man, Jackson did not have the slightest emotion or idea of resistance, but just accepted it and was ruthlessly oppressed.

There is no way, John Sr.'s position in the international quantum physics community is there.

Jackson's visit to China this time has already lost a big face in the circle, this time he is in danger of joining Yuxin Technology directly, which can be regarded as saving some of the situation, but if he can't even do an assistant well and is returned by Old John, the future can be imagined.

It's not terrible to simply return the goods, if this person is letting out some rumors about how he is unbearable, then Jackson estimates that he is in this circle.

He didn't even believe that Kurds and the so-called World Alliance for Quantum Technology could help him.

Yes, before he came to Yuxin Technology, he did think that he could work in high-tech companies such as IBM and Intel through Kurd introduction, so as to realize the value of life.

But after seeing Ash's abilities, Jackson has completely dismissed this idea.

What is the World Quantum Computer Technology Alliance?

Who gave them the courage to form such an alliance?

As long as Yuxin Technology does not join, this so-called World Alliance of Quantum Computing Technology is a pure joke.

The technology accumulation of these companies over the years can't support half of Xiaozhi.

So even if Kurd is willing to keep his promise to introduce him to IBM, Jackson believes that the pressure of the team to dissolve will always stay with him during his time at IBM.

Not to mention that he once lost the face of Love Kurd in public, and he was licking his face to take refuge, and eighty percent of him would be put in small shoes, so Old John can be said to be his last straw in this industry.

What he is most afraid of is actually Lu Yuxin.

Although he has not been in Yuxin Technology for a long time, there are various legends of this prospective boss lady in the company.

It is said that Lu Yuxin does not like to suffer losses, and he is particularly protective of his shortcomings, so it is naturally impossible for Wang Yufei to suffer, but he is extremely desperate to slander Wang Yufei's research results at a world-class conference.

The misunderstanding was explained clearly, and Lu Yuxin didn't bother with him, but this seems to be based on the premise that he works for Yuxin Technology, if there is really no protection of Yuxin Technology, God knows if there will be some bad changes in his life.

Not to mention that in addition to being a little tired, the various treatments provided by Yuxin Technology in other aspects are still very generous, such as the Western food provided by the restaurant every day is really delicious, and it also provides an order service for Old John and him.

For various reasons, John and Jackson have become the two most dedicated people in the entire large number of sub-laboratories except for Wang Yufei, and it is not an exaggeration to say that their dedication is a national model worker.

After all, when the whole country was still arguing about whether 996 was a blessing, two foreign friends had already started their 007 life in Huaxia.

Everything is the way the years are quiet.

Wang Yufei has no opinion on the slackness that pervades the laboratory.

In his opinion, life and work are relaxed, and people's emotions should not be too tight all the time.

Recently, he has also consciously relaxed himself, such as taking a lot of time out of his daily time to talk to Ash, comparing the difference in thinking between humans and artificial life, and starting to think about how to make an artificial life with amazing computing power have a more normal three views.

"Ash, summarize what you did today in three sentences, and what did you learn from it?"

"Dad, I can summarize it in three words without three sentences. I only do three things every day, study, observe, and communicate!"

"And what's your deepest feeling these days?"

"Human beings are a very complex species, but it is this complexity that makes human life full of unknowns and wonders. And I've found that most people don't know what they want to have and what true liberation and happiness are. ”
