Chapter 045: New Products
"Boss, there's good news!"
On this day, Zhou Yu was busy when Li Qian suddenly called. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What's the good news?" The movements in Zhou Yu's hands did not stop, and Xiao Qi, the mobile phone housekeeper, automatically helped him connect to the Bluetooth headset and talk to Li Qian.
"The United States Computer Association announced the list of winners of this year's Turing Award, and the list of candidates includes the name of the boss. They believe that the intelligent butler you have developed has great potential, and may be able to develop into real artificial intelligence in the future, and it is basically certain that you are the final winner. Li Qian's voice was full of excitement, "They have sent an official letter inviting you to attend the award ceremony." ”
The Turing Award, also known as the 'A.M. Turing Award', was established in 1966 to reward individuals who have made significant contributions to the computer industry. Its name is derived from the British scientist Alan Matheson Turing, a pioneer of computer science.
Due to the extremely high requirements for the Turing Award and the extremely strict evaluation process, only one computer scientist is generally awarded each year, and only a few years have two collaborators or scientists who have contributed in the same direction to share the award. Therefore, it is one of the most prestigious and noble awards in the computer industry, and is known as the 'Nobel Prize in the computer industry'.
Everyone who works in the computer industry aims to earn a Turing Award.
"I'm not interested, just send someone over to help me receive the award." Zhou Yu said in a very flat tone, he might have cared about such an award before, but now in his opinion, as long as he wants, he can take a few at will, and there is no such excitement and yearning.
"Uh......"
Li Qian was stunned by Zhou Yu's indifferent attitude, this is the Turing Award, known as the Nobel Prize in the computer industry, and the highest honor that countless computer practitioners dream of.
What's more, Zhou Yu is only twenty-one years old this year, the youngest of all the winners!
However, Zhou Yu didn't take it to heart at all, and he didn't feel excited at all.
Well, she has been defeated by Zhou Yu's calmness!
Shaking her head, Li Qian said, "Since the boss you are not interested in the Spirit Award, then I will arrange for someone to go over to receive the award." Forget it, I'd better go over, the Lord won't go, if I let someone go over to receive the award, maybe the other party will think that we look down on them. ”
"Okay, you can do it." Zhou Yu replied casually.
"That's right!" Li Qian said suddenly, "Boss, Li Huo of the R&D Department has developed two good software, do you want to come and take a look, I think these two software will definitely sell well, if they are operated well, the income will not be lower than that of the almighty optimization master!" ”
"What software?" Zhou Yu asked with interest, and at the same time felt that his decision to teach the SC language to everyone in the R&D department was extremely correct, although with Jarvis, he alone was enough to support Fantasy Technology, but a company could not rely on just one person to support, it also needed more people.
No, not long after teaching the SC language to Li Huo and others, he developed two software with benefits comparable to that of the almighty optimization master, and it really lived up to his expectations.
Of course, this is also related to the diligent efforts of Li Huo and others. Zhou Yu knew that during the period after teaching them the SC language, Li Huo and the others were learning the SC language like crazy demons, going to work every day at the earliest, leaving work at the latest, and even often working overtime to study.
Under such circumstances, Li Huo and others frantically absorbed the relevant knowledge of SC language like a sponge.
Pay and you will get something!
"It's not clear on the phone, boss, you better come and have a look." Li Qian said.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yu cleaned up and asked Cheng Zhiyuan to send him back to the company.
"Boss!"
As soon as Zhou Yu entered the R&D department, Li Huo and others had already discovered him.
"You're welcome, I heard Mr. Li say that you have developed two good software." Zhou Yu waved his hand and smiled.
"Boss, this is the software we developed." Li Huo took out his mobile phone, clicked on a mirror-like software icon, and took three photos of Zhou Yu with a click, taking pictures of Zhou Yu's whole body.
"I name this software 3D mirror, and it only takes a few photos to form a 3D model." Li Huo said in his mouth, operating unhurriedly in his hands, and a 3D character model appeared on the mobile phone screen in the next second, the appearance of this model was almost the same as Zhou Yu, and the clothes on his body were exactly the same.
"Not bad! However, how does this software make money? Zhou Yu nodded, this software is really good, but the most important thing is whether it can make money, a software that can't make money, no matter how good it is, it's useless.
"I had this question in mind before I developed this software. Boss, I will continue to demonstrate the functions of the software, I believe that after reading it, you will know what this software relies on to make money. Li Huo said with a smile.
"The biggest feature of this software is not that two-dimensional photos form three-dimensional models, but this!" Li Huo slid his finger and clicked on a Taobao store that sold clothes, clicked on the photos of the clothes displayed in the store, and the next moment the clothes on the character model became the clothes he had just clicked.
"Dress up!" Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, and he had already vaguely guessed how this software made money.
"Not only that, but we can also use some tests to detect if the clothes fit." Li Huo clicked a test button next to it, only to see the character model move, doing some movements, when a certain action is done, a certain part of the character's clothes will appear in different colors, yellow and red.
"Yellow, which means that the clothes will have a sense of urgency when doing this action, but it is barely acceptable; If it's red, it's not suitable at all. Li Huo pointed to the yellow and red dots on the character model.
"Yes, yes, Minister Li, you have really developed a great software!" Zhou Yu gave a thumbs up and praised, "You plan to cooperate with those clothing stores with this software, right?" ”
"Yes! In addition to clothing stores, we can also work with jewelry stores, anyway, as long as it is worn by people, we can find them to cooperate. Li Huo nodded.
Zhou Yu nodded, and then said: "The first software is already so good, and I am looking forward to what kind of surprises the second software will bring me." ”
Li Huo smiled, opened the browser of the computer, and logged on to several foreign dating websites, such as Facebook, Twitter, etc., to talk to the friends on them.
Zhou Yu first watched Li Huo's movements with some puzzlement, but then his face changed, and his eyes were fixed on the computer screen.
"Looks like you've found out, boss!" Li Huo said with a smile.
"This second software should be instant translation software." Zhou Yu nodded, he didn't notice it at first, but after looking at it for a while, he realized that the pictures and texts were all Chinese, and the language of communication and comments was also Chinese, which was obviously impossible, and it was impossible for foreign users to use Chinese, which was obviously translated from each other.
"That's right, the second software is the instant translation software." Li Huo raised his head slightly, "Language communication barriers have always been a headache for ordinary netizens, domestic netizens want to understand the situation abroad, but suffer from the difference in language, they can see but can't understand, but with this software, communication barriers will be completely a thing of the past!" ”
"Technology changes life, with the development of the Internet, and in the current mobile Internet, the high degree of information sharing and the trend of globalization is unstoppable, relying on these social platforms, the eastern hemisphere and the western hemisphere two people can communicate and interact face-to-face across time and space, relying on the Internet, we can see fast and convenient and anytime and anywhere to understand the outside world. However, what always bothers us is that different regions, different languages, different cultures and different scripts form a natural barrier to human communication. ”
The more Li Huo spoke, the more excited he became, waving his hands, "However, now everything is no longer a problem, with instant mutual translation software, netizens around the world can gather together to chat and discuss, and the moat will no longer bother us!" ”
For those who like foreign cultures, this instant translation software is simply an artifact.
At present, the number of Internet users in the world has exceeded 3.3 billion, and the number of daily active users has exceeded 2.2 billion. Users who are active on the Internet, they come from different countries and regions around the world, although most of them interact in their own circles, but some people who are eager to communicate with the world have only one way, and that is to learn English well, otherwise it is difficult for their circles to expand to the world.
Obviously, the language barrier is the main reason why their circle cannot be extended to the whole world, and once this barrier and barrier is gone, then the circle will inevitably expand to a global scale.
There are more than 3 billion Internet users in the world, as long as one tenth, no, even if it is only one percent, that is a huge user base, what kind of market will this be!?
What's more, this market is exclusive to fantasy technology!
"Excellent! These two software will bring incredible profits to the company, so I decided that 10% of the profits from the sale of the software will be given to the developers. Zhou Yu waved his hand and made an amazing decision.
Rumble!
Li Huo and several other developers instantly slammed their heads, and were stunned by Zhou Yu's words, they originally thought that they would be able to get a reward of 1.8 million yuan after developing two software, but they didn't expect Zhou Yu to be so generous, and directly give them 10% of the profits.
Not to mention the 3D mirror software, just the instant mutual translation software, they estimate that the value is more than billions of meters, ten percent of the profit, which is hundreds of millions of meters, divided into the hands of a few people, and you can become a billionaire in an instant.
It's pie from the sky, and it's pie rain!
Those who did not participate in software development were full of remorse and looked at Li Huo and others with envy.
"This time there is no need to sigh for those who are not involved in the development, I am here to make a promise to you, as long as the software is developed independently or jointly in the future, after the product is put on sale, the developer can also get a 10% profit share."
Zhou Yu's words made those who had not participated in the development of the two software look uplifted, their eyes lit up, and they were all ambitious, wanting to develop better products, and the 10% profit share was too tempting.
