After about 25 minutes, the car arrived at the exhibition venue.

The three of them entered the venue, and Mr. Nasser first invited the two to visit the hall of the exhibition command center.

The venue is divided into A and B, the command center hall is located on the fifth floor of the arcade between A and B, and there are two floor-to-ceiling glass windows in front and back of the hall.

According to Mr. Nasser introduced, each venue has an area of 35,000 square meters, the exhibition a total of 658 companies or teams from 32 countries and regions to participate in the exhibition, today is the second day of the exhibition, yesterday's participants more than 20,000 merchants, are professional merchants.

In venue A, the largest booth area was Singer Company, IB Company, Amazon Company, Facebook Company, and Company M, all of which had booth areas of more than 2,000 square meters. In addition, there are some other large enterprises, and their booth area is generally not less than 900 square meters.

In addition to the large booths of large enterprises, there are also many small booths of small enterprises and small teams exhibiting, these booths are generally very small, the smallest is only 60 square meters, and the largest is only 300 square meters. There are only 15 exhibitors from China, concentrated in Hall B, all of which are small enterprises, and the total booth area only occupies 1,800 square meters.

To Xu Xincheng's surprise, Lucy was most interested in small booths, and after going downstairs to the venue, Lucy gave priority to visiting small booths.

Lucy would go in and look at each of the small booths, and in the booths she was interested in, she would stop to talk to the heads of the company or team to learn more about their technologies and products.

In the end, Lucy reached a preliminary cooperation intention with a total of 13 of them, and Xu Xincheng and the heads of these 13 companies exchanged business cards, and added Facebook and LinkedIn to each other. He made detailed records of their technology and products, took their information, and took photos for the record.

Lucy is still wearing a black robe today, with a black turban on her head, but this black robe is different from last night, last night's black robe was embroidered with black silk thread with exquisite Middle Eastern patterns, which looked solemn and generous, while today's black robe was embroidered with golden silk threads with the same very exquisite Middle East patterns, which looked elegant and noble.

Wearing a pair of large black-rimmed sunglasses, a pair of black high heels on her feet, and a black Hermès bag in her hand, Lucy looks more like an "Arab lady" in her sunglasses.

The most interesting thing is that because Lucy never took off her sunglasses during the whole visit, everyone in the venue really regarded her as an Arab lady, so everyone received her with the etiquette of receiving an Arab lady, and treated her with respect, not daring to take pictures of her, and not daring to get too close to her when talking to her.

In this way, the three of them did not visit all the small booths until half past one in the afternoon, and then they went to the food section of the venue, had lunch in a small café, and took a break.

Xu Xincheng asked with some curiosity: "Lucy, can I ask why there is more interest in small enterprises and small teams than in large enterprises?"

Lucy said: "It is precisely because they are small and have few resources that they are forced to use the least resources to achieve breakthroughs with the latest ideas, so some of their ideas, some new technologies and new products developed are often beyond the imagination of large enterprises, and they can't do it." Many of the breakthrough ideas and technologies in history, such as mice, computer interface icons, mobile phone touch screens, etc., are actually not pioneered by large enterprises, but by small business teams or individuals like this.

We need to look for small enterprises and small teams with breakthrough new technologies and new products, and use the talents and technologies of these enterprises and teams through investment, equity acquisition, technology purchase, and high-salary hiring. When we go back, we will conduct a detailed study of their technology and materials, and then decide which companies and teams to negotiate with for further cooperation. ”

Xu Xincheng understood at once, he nodded, and suddenly said, "I understand." ”

After lunchtime, the three of them returned to the venue, and in the afternoon Lucy mainly looked at the booths of large enterprises.

However, unlike in the morning, she often just watched their product demonstrations and introductions very carefully, and she would also ask some technical questions in detail, but she had no intention of discussing cooperation with them at all.

In the past two years, Hongfei AI Division has also participated in some artificial intelligence exhibitions held in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, General Manager Li will also take the R&D Department Manager Qiao and the company's technical backbone to visit international exhibitions held in Hong Kong, Singapore, RB and other places, but has not participated in any international exhibition plans, he has said with regret that the company has not yet reached the level of being able to compete with international large enterprises in the same field.

This time, Xu Xincheng understood why General Manager Li said that, the level of the international artificial intelligence exhibition is indeed very high, and they did not have the strength to compete with large international enterprises in the past.

The work of the past two years has given him a deeper understanding of the field of artificial intelligence, and in some aspects it can be said that he has a very in-depth understanding, but this international exhibition still opened his eyes and gave him a very big shock.

There are a variety of new smart cars, a variety of intelligent electronic devices, and a variety of intelligent robots at the exhibition.

Intelligent robots alone, there are all kinds of robots for various scenarios, including household robots, police robots, salesman robots, teacher robots, hospital nursing robots, doctor robots, etc., as well as various intelligent robot pets, robot dogs, robot cats, robot rabbits, etc.

There are also many different categories of products for smart wearable devices, such as smart pajamas, smart sportswear, smart sneakers, smart glasses, smart headphones, etc. There are also various smart home appliances, such as ultra-thin smart LCD TVs, smart refrigerators, smart washing machines, smart microwave ovens, etc.

There are more than 2,000 products of all kinds at the exhibition.

In terms of technology, there are also a lot of advanced technologies, taking recognition technology as an example, in addition to the latest generation of voice recognition, face recognition, image recognition and other technologies, there are also the most cutting-edge tone and intonation recognition, gait recognition, vein recognition and gene recognition and other technologies.

Xu Xincheng visited all the technologies and products in the booth very carefully and carefully, and he had a feeling of traveling to the future world, where he really felt the words of Kevin Kelly in his book "Necessity", "The future has come, but it has not yet become popular".

Many technologies, applications and products at the exhibition, Hongfei AI Division is actually involved, however, in contrast, only some technologies and products are okay, in most cases, whether it is from the design of the appearance or the breakthrough of the core technology, there is still a big gap with these international large enterprises.

It is no wonder that the first and second important tasks assigned to them by Lucy are to achieve big optimizations and breakthroughs in technology, applications and products, without which they really can't compete with the big international companies in the international market.

Xu Xincheng took a lot of product photos and took a lot of information, and he wanted to send these photos and materials to General Manager Li and all the project team leaders, so that they should be able to get some useful inspiration from them.

The venue was full of people, everyone, whether it is a large enterprise, or a small team of small enterprises, everyone is enthusiastic, and many people are full of enthusiasm to introduce their technology, applications and products to the guests who visited their booth, this kind of hot scene is Xu Xincheng in the domestic artificial intelligence exhibition can not see.

He thought to himself, it turns out that there are so many companies in the world, there are so many people working hard in the field of AI, the international competition in this field is much more fierce than he imagined before, and the challenges faced by Sino-American Xinfei are much greater than he imagined before.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that the burden on his body was much heavier, and he couldn't help but raise his right hand and touch his left shoulder, and he said to himself in his heart: "It seems that I haven't done enough before, and I have to work harder and harder in the future." ”

Xu Xincheng took a deep breath and secretly cheered himself up, he clenched his fists and resolutely straightened his waist, as if he wanted to carry the invisible burden more steadily.

At 17:00 p.m., the exhibition ended.

Mr. Nasser drove the two to Dubai International Airport. On the way, Xu Xincheng and Mr. Nasser continued to chat, and he also gave a general introduction to his personal experience, and the two people with similar experiences became good friends.

Xu Xincheng to Mr. Nasser had a good impression that he had been with him and Lucy throughout the day. Most importantly, he is smart and knows when to speak, what to say, and when not to speak. During the whole process of visiting the exhibition, he did not say a word that should not be said, and took the initiative to help carry the information and samples obtained from various booths, not only without complaints, but also with a smile on his face at all times. In addition, seeing that he is an Arab who has been following behind him, coupled with the badge of the senior director of the exhibition hanging on his chest, the exhibitors at each booth are naturally more respectful to Lucy and Xu Xincheng, and they are even more responsive to their inquiries.

The exhibition venue is very close to the airport, and it only takes about 20 minutes to drive there.

Mr. Nasser accompanied the two into the airport, and together they came to the airport's special exit green channel for VIPs, he showed his work card to the immigration officer, explained the reason, and the departure inspector issued him a temporary exit permit, allowing him to leave the country temporarily.

Mr. Nasser sent Xu Xincheng and Lucy outside the plane door, said goodbye warmly, and waited for the two to enter the cabin before leaving.
