Chapter 308: Circle of Friends in the Industry

Yanjing International Exhibition Center, the most cutting-edge display platform in the field of science and technology in Xia Kingdom.

In addition to being the venue for the Xia Guo Computer Conference, it is also the venue for the launch of new products and technologies of many technology companies.

Last year, Xiaomi Technology released a new mobile phone here. The year before last, Baidu launched an artificial intelligence plan here and announced the development process of driverless cars.

Today, it will undoubtedly once again attract the attention of the global media.

The position of Pangu Technology is in the front row, with Li Hongfeng, CEO of Baidu, on the left, and Li Li, CEO of Ali, on the right.

Ali's boss Feng Yuan did not come, he is attending the United Nations Small and Micro Enterprise Development Conference, but next month's Wuzhen Internet Conference, Feng Yuan will definitely attend.

There are big guys on the left and right, which is enough to show how much the organizers attach importance to Pangu Technology.

In the back position of Pangu Technology, there are companies such as Lianxiang Group and 360, and then the CEOs of various short videos, live broadcasts, and news apps that have become popular in the past two or three years.

This is a computer conference, not an Internet conference, and the reason why they are also invited to participate is because they have a lot of experience in the application of computer big data algorithms.

What is a big data algorithm, this word is lofty, but it is actually a bit roguelike, for example, if you search for some keywords on the web, then these short videos or live broadcast software advertisements will push products related to keywords. If you keep clicking on short videos like beauty or funny, then these apps will always push short videos like beauty or funny.

This is the big data algorithm, which seems convenient, but the realization of artificial intelligence is not. Xiao Ming has reservations about this semi-intelligent, unintelligent and relatively rogue approach.

This kind of big data computing can not be for the user, but for the soft sister coin, because of the technology and sit here the company bosses, I don't know if there is a "user" in their hearts.

People came one after another, and everyone's chatterbox opened.

Later, the people in charge of short videos and live broadcast apps are talking about traffic, fans, monetization and other issues.

For example, the person in charge of the fast dance app proudly revealed that their annual revenue last year was 23 billion soft girl coins. The person in charge of Shake Hand said that his daily active population reached 2.3 billion. The two flattered each other, and the topic was full of money.

Almost no one chatted with Xiao Ming, even though Pangu Technology has been very popular in the past two years, Xiao Ming is still a posterior on this occasion. When it was Warwick CEO Yu Zhendong, he greeted Xiao Ming eagerly after seeing Xiao Ming from afar.

Xiao Ming was originally going to sit down, but found that there were only two seats left for him, and this time Xiao Ming, Lin Li, and Zheng Xuanyu all came to attend the meeting.

Everyone saw this, but not one of them got up and gave up their seats.

Xiao Ming's computing and Internet business environment is really strange, Xiao Ming is actually the first time to meet these people, but some companies have already regarded Pangu Technology as an enemy and an adversary, even if the two sides have no actual interests entangled.

Zheng Xuanyu was very sensible and said, "I'll go and sit in the back." ”

Xiao Ming said: "Let's go to the back together." ”

The main reason is that Xiao Ming really doesn't want to listen to a bunch of bosses behind him praising each other.

Xiao Ming nodded to Li Hongfeng and the others, and then went to the back row to sit in the ordinary guest seats.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the 2020 Xia Kingdom Computer Conference officially began.

Du Yongtao, President of Xia Guo Computer Association, delivered an opening speech, summarizing the basic situation of the development of Xia Guo computer industry in the past year and imagining the future.

Among them, Du Yongtao mentioned Pangu Technology many times in his speech, from the system to the chip, giving Pangu Technology a very high affirmation, and the rise of big data algorithms and new video media is a passing touch, which makes the person in charge of short video websites such as Kuaiwu not look very good.

Du Yongtao looked at the front seat while speaking, how did he find that there was no one in the position of Pangu Technology, could it be that Xiao Ming did not come? Du Yongtao's face was not good, but the meeting still had to continue.

An hour and a half later, Du Yongtao came to the most important part of the conference to announce the 2019 computer industry awards.

Du Yongtao said: "In recognition of the innovative achievements of our research institutes, scientific research institutions and technology companies in the field of computing, we have set up the Innovation Award. After deliberation and democratic resolution by the organizing committee, we decided to award the CCF Innovation Award to Pangu Technology Co., Ltd. ”

Although everyone knew the result beforehand, there was still applause at the scene.

Some people agree with this decision, after all, Pangu Technology's technological innovations have indeed changed the status of Xia's computer industry in the world.

There are also people who applaud on the surface, but their inner emotions are complicated, they are jealous of Pangu Technology, not for the technological innovation of Pangu Technology, but for the market and monetization ability behind the technology.

The profits of monopoly industries are much higher than those of short videos and live broadcast websites.

Everyone searched the location of Pangu Technology, but found that there was no one.

"Pangu Technology is too arrogant, it doesn't send people to such an important conference!"

"Some of them have no one in their sights! Arri, Baidu, and Penguin are all here, but Pangu Technology is not coming. ”

There was a cacophony of voices at the scene.

Du Yongtao said: "Although Pangu Technology did not send people to the scene, their contribution to the computer industry in Xia Guo cannot be ignored. A series of scientific research innovations and achievements, such as Pangu system, Tiangong system, and Panruo chip, have broken the monopoly of Western technology companies on us. So please be quiet. ”

Finally, under the reminder of the on-site staff, Du Yongtao and the personnel at the meeting found that Pangu Technology was not only here, but also the boss Xiao Ming and Lin Li, the managing director and rotating CEO in charge of the computer Internet business, came to the scene.

Everyone stood up and looked at Xiao Ming, and spontaneously gave warm applause.

Du Yongtao was so embarrassed, blamed the staff at the scene, and said, "Why did you let Mr. Xiao Ming and Mr. Lin sit in the back!"

This was a major mistake in the work, and the staff hurriedly argued: "It's Mr. Xiao Ming, and they have one more person, and the position in front is not enough." ”

This should not have been said at the conference, it seems that the staff is indeed in a hurry, after all, such a big occasion and such a major mistake should be punished.

Lin immediately relieved the staff and said: "It's the same wherever you sit, we do have one more person than the reporting list." ”

Du Yongtao hurriedly invited Xiao Ming to sit down, but only gave up after Xiao Ming refused.

Du Yongtao sighed and said: "As we all know, there is a major technological gap between our country and the West in the computer industry, and this gap is not only a gap in application, but also a gap in basic technology and hardware. ”
