Chapter 932: Zhang Ming

Zhang Ming's praise for the new intelligent network interconnection model is not to pat Xu Ran's ass.

His analysis is still very profound, which shows that he has done in-depth research, and he also has something to say in front of Xu Ran, so he already has a shot in his heart to measure the advantage.

Zhang Ming had the idea of cooperating in this area, but he did not reveal it.

After the dishes were all served, Xu Ran took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks and pick up the dishes, and the others followed.

During the meal, Zhang Ming didn't talk much.

Instead, Xu Ran asked Zhang Ming about the current progress of the IPO listing of Toutiao's products.

Zhang Ming put down his chopsticks, but he was a little surprised in his heart, what was Xu Ran's intention to ask, did he also want to follow the headlines?

It's just that the current C round of financing of Toutiao has already been completed, and the plan to implement the IPO listing is also carried out in an orderly manner.

So Chen Ling briefly talked about the current situation of preparing for listing, and did not plan to raise funds again.

Of course, Xu Ran's question was just an introduction, he naturally knew that Toutiao's listing plan had been finalized, and it was impossible for him to have another chance to follow.

Zhang Ming took the initiative to talk to Xu Ran about his new model of artificial intelligence, and naturally he had the idea of cooperation.

I believe that with Zhang Ming's ingenuity, he also knows very well what kind of powerful power it will play when applied to his products.

Since the establishment of the company, Zhang Ming has always paid great attention to the research and development and accumulation of technology, and their own research in artificial intelligence has never stopped.

However, even if their artificial intelligence research and development is successful, it will take time to apply it to the product chain to exert its effect, and the market and users will not wait for you, and the entire market will have a huge impact on Xu Ran's new model.

When users adapt to this new mode of lifestyle, then those relatively backward artificial intelligence products will definitely be eliminated by the market, not to mention that Zhang Ming still has an ambition to challenge the hegemony of social and e-commerce platforms.

After all, several of the products under the symbol technology are currently in a hot state, and the user traffic of each product is as high as hundreds of millions.

As far as Xu Ran knows, at present, Symbol Technology is also making efforts in social platforms and e-commerce platforms, as long as there is such a huge user flow in hand, this is something that everyone who does e-commerce and social networking craves.

Again, Xu Ran also felt that after Zhang Ming saw the popularity and success of the little genius robot, he also had the idea of combining his products with this kind of robot.

Zhang Ming had these thoughts, but he didn't fully explain them to Xu Ran.

After the fifth round, Zhang Ming talked about the pleasant cooperation he had always maintained with Huitu, and knew that Xu Ran was also one of the founders of Huitu.

It's just that Zhang Ming didn't talk about the relationship between him and Wu Hui, and the solutions to the problems related to the optimization of audio and video coding used in several of his short video products were all completed in cooperation with Huitu.

In fact, now Huitu's audio-visual coding technology has already begun to be popularized and applied in China, and some people are still specialized in the study of this technology, and are also using the engine kernel provided by Huitu to carry out multimedia audio and video software research and development, and some new small free software that was born at present is based on this Huitu coding technology.

As a commercial application, Huitu's technology is very mature, and its influence is gradually spreading to the world, and users are becoming more and more extensive, and symbol companies are naturally among them.

This is a trend and trend, and even the old custom format standard industry hegemons such as Sony cannot change this situation, and they can only seek breakthroughs in other ways to curb Huitu's attempt to dominate the world in the field of audio-visual multimedia.

Zhang Ming talked about the cooperation with Huitu is only in the business field, but it is estimated that he and Wu Hui should not have had much intersection in terms of personal relationship, and they are not too familiar.

Otherwise, if there is this layer of friendship, Zhang Ming wants to meet Xu Ran, and there is no need for Chen Ling and Zhao Lili's classmate relationship at this level, as long as Wu Hui is a bridge in the middle, then it will be more convenient.

Zhang Ming actually didn't have a good relationship, and he and Xu Ran met for the first time today, and he didn't know Xu Ran's thoughts and Xu Ran's style of doing things, so he was cautious and didn't dare to say more.

But Xu Ran has no concerns about this, and he will lead the topic in this direction.

Xu Ran said that the current intelligent network interconnection model has been successfully applied in the field of robotics first, and the cooperation with Jingdong Company in the field of e-commerce, whether it is their e-commerce platform or the application of the new logistics system, has also been verified.

But Xu Ran feels that this new Internet model is not invincible, first of all, he has some natural enemies, that is, Google, Microsoft, Amazon and other companies in the United States, as well as domestic companies such as Penguin, Qiandu, and A Mao.

Because these companies are engaged in the research and development of artificial intelligence, and have invested heavily in it for a long time, they basically have their own research and development results, and they are also applying them in their own product ecosystem, it is simply impossible for them to give up the results of their own efforts to use other people's.

If Xu Ran wants to promote his AI extensively, he will inevitably have to compete with these companies.

Now Xu Ran is a new calf who has just broken into the Internet industry, although he can be regarded as a surprising dark horse, but if those old big companies join forces to resist, he will not be able to move an inch.

Therefore, Xu Ran needs to win over some allies to join the development camp of this new intelligent model and gradually expand this alliance.

It is no secret that Zhang Ming has the ambition to develop social networking and get involved in the field of e-commerce, many people know it, and he is indeed doing it, which will invisibly arouse the vigilance of those giants, so they are natural enemies in the competition for users.

With these intangible things, it will naturally push Zhang Ming and Xu Ran together, which is also the main reason why Xu Ran is willing to take the time to meet with both Chen Ling and Zhang Ming, he believes that Zhang Ming himself can also realize it.

Now the cooperation between Xu Ran and Jingdong has attracted the attention of the whole industry in the application of a new e-commerce platform and logistics system, and presumably large companies will also make moves in the future.

Although Mr. Liu of Penguin Company did not disclose his intentions when he called before, it was only because of the relationship between Xu Ran and the Xie family that he had established a good personal relationship with Mr. Liu.

But Liu is always a person who distinguishes between public and private, Xu Ran knows that it should be Mr. Liu who wants to win Xu Ran's cooperation, but Penguin Company can't let go of its half-completed results, and Xiaoma probably doesn't agree, so Mr. Liu didn't tell Xu Ranming.

It wasn't until the news reported that Xu Ran and Liu Jingdong had reached a full cooperation, and Mr. Liu of Penguin never called again.

It is already obvious that Liu Zhidong's deep meaning is carefully understood.

Xu Ran can speculate that Penguin's next move should be to vigorously develop the robot industry. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} 》,;” , talk about life, find a confidant~
