Chapter 569: Thousand Degrees of Artificial Intelligence
It seems that because of the meteor shower, the villa area on the top of Wugong Mountain today is more lively than usual. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThey are probably the same as Lu Yang's family, and they only returned to the villa to enjoy the meteor shower.
The price of villas in Wugong Mountain is high, naturally there is a reason for its high price, from here to the south you can overlook most of Penglai Island, to the north you can see the vast Pacific Ocean. This style of villa is the favorite of many wealthy families.
It's rare for residents of Penglai Island to have more than two properties, but Luyang is certainly different. As the owner of Penglai Island, all the land and most of the houses on the island belong to him. However, there are not many members of the Lu family, and the family does not like extravagance, and there are only four villas that Lu Yang and they occasionally live in. Most of the time, Lu Yang's family lives in Xianjing Garden, like Wugong Mountain Villa, and they may not come once in a month or two.
"It's nice to see the meteor shower from here." Lu Yang moved the camping things to the balcony of the villa, the balcony is more than 60 square meters, very spacious, enough to set up a tent and barbecue.
"Okay, here it is." Zhu Xiaotong also agreed, and turned around and told the child, "Xingxing, you look at your sister, don't run around." ā
Cao Lekang looked at the company's sales in the first quarter, and there was no expression on his face. However, Zhao Li, the marketing director of Yutian Electronics, was trembling at this time, compared with last year, YPHONE sales fell by 8% in the first quarter of this year, which was the first time since 2016.
"Mr. Cao, according to our analysis, the decline in YPHONE sales is mainly due to the Chinese market, in the past, our YPHONE attracted many young consumers with high cost performance and civilian prices, but now there are too many smartphones below 1000 yuan, especially the mobile phones of the Wisdom Alliance have dropped sharply last year, resulting in intensified competition. In addition, in terms of operating system, the intelligent operating system has far surpassed Android because of the artificial intelligence of Penglai Island......"
"Smart Alliance, why is the price of their mobile phone dropping so fast?" Cao Lekang asked.
Zhao Lidao: "Most of the accessories of the smart alliance mobile phone are supplied by Tianxin Group, and I heard that Tianxin Group has greatly improved its production technology, resulting in a decline in the price of chips, screens, cameras and other accessories. Most of our spare parts are imported from the country of sticks, Fuso, and rice, although the cost has been reduced to a minimum, but it still cannot be compared with Tianxin Group. ā
Cao Lekang shook his head secretly, when he was desperate with Yutian Electronics with the company to turn to the low-end, with a strong offline sales network and a large number of advertising investment, Yutian Electronics in the low-end mobile phone market to play a world, sales are rising, last year's peak, the annual sales reached 82 million, ranking fourth in China, sixth in the world.
With this achievement, Cao Lekang became a world-famous post-80s president, and was named "Global Young Entrepreneur Leader" by Time Magazine last year.
However, this kind of selection can not make the development of Yutian Electronics better.
Because of the brand positioning, the profit margin of Yutian Electronics is very low. The profit margin of Tianxin Electronics is generally maintained at 30% to 40%, the profit margin of Apple mobile phone is about 29%, Samsung's profit margin is close to 20%, the profit margin of Huawei mobile phone has risen steadily in recent years, and now it is more than 15%, while Yutian Electronics, the profit margin is less than 2%, and there is almost no comparison with other competitors.
And this is Cao Lekang's biggest headache now.
"What are your marketing department's plans for your question?" Cao Lekang asked lightly.
Zhao Li sat up a little straighter: "Qiandu's artificial intelligence is close to completion, I wonder if we can add artificial intelligence to the Android system." Artificial intelligence is the hottest concept in recent years, and the sales and profits of products applied to artificial intelligence are very high, and if our YPHONE also uses artificial intelligence, sales will definitely rise, and even brand positioning will improve. ā
"We're already working on that."
"Well, that's what we're going to do!" Zhao Li's spirit was shocked.
"What else?"
Zhao Li hesitated: "Mr. Cao, in terms of products, we do not have an advantage compared with other brands, but we can increase marketing efforts, especially the discovery of offline stores." The mobile phone market in first-tier cities and second-tier cities is close to saturation, but the competition in third-tier cities and ordinary towns is relatively small. The low price and stylish appearance of YPHONE make it very attractive to rural residents with low incomes. However, these people are not used to online shopping and prefer to go to physical stores to consume, so we need to build more offline stores. ā
"Have you invested in this area?"
"After calculation, I think the next target should be the central region, which requires an investment ......of about 300 million yuan," Zhao Li said worriedly, thinking in his heart that Cao Lekang would not agree to this suggestion, because the planning and marketing department to expand offline channels has proposed it more than once.
"Okay, I agree to this plan, and the funding company will allocate it to you soon." Cao Lekang said.
"Ah......" Zhao Li opened his mouth, almost thinking that he had misheard.
"In the past, the company's profits were invested in the research and development of artificial intelligence, but now that artificial intelligence has been completed, the company's funds are abundant." Cao Lekang explained, "Next, we will apply artificial intelligence to YPHONE, the price and brand positioning of mobile phones will increase, and your marketing pressure will also increase, and I will send you relevant indicators as soon as possible." ā
"I understand, Mr. Cao!" Zhao Li said, "Our marketing team is definitely the best in China, and we will definitely be able to complete the company's tasks!" ā
Just after Labor Day, Qiandu Company announced the success of their Qiandu brain research, becoming the third artificial intelligence system in China after Pangu and the Yellow River. Although the outside world has been rumoring about Qiandu Brain before, everyone is still surprised when Qiandu really announces it.
"Has Qiandu Company been opened, and it has developed artificial intelligence independently!"
"I can't believe that a few years ago, Qiandu was still making money from various false advertisements, and in a blink of an eye, artificial intelligence was developed."
"1,000 degrees surpass Google, and artificial intelligence is proof of this."
"My Great Huaxia Company is mighty! There are only four artificial intelligence systems in the world, and three of them are in China! ā
"I don't know how the Qiandu brain compares to Pangu......"
The news of the completion of Qiandu Brain has had a great impact not only in China but also internationally. After AI has become the focus of research in various countries, any news about AI can tug at everyone's heartstrings and stimulate everyone's interest in understanding.
"Huaxia has added another artificial intelligence!"
"Oh my God, the fourth largest Internet company in China has developed its own artificial intelligence, is our German technology not as good as a company in China?"
"The fourth artificial intelligence was born in Huaxia, and Huaxia will achieve cyber hegemony!"
"A thousand degrees? What kind of company is this, I have never heard of it, and it is able to develop artificial intelligence! ā
"Search engine companies? I always thought that omniscient search and Google were the best search engines, but I didn't expect that there would be such a company as Qiandu, when would we be able to use Qiandu Search? ā
Suddenly, Qianyu Group became a star enterprise in the world, even surpassing Google, Microsoft, Facebook and other well-known high-tech companies, after all, they do not have artificial intelligence.
Affected by this news, the stock of Qianyu Group rose 12% on the day, and its market value exceeded $130 billion in one fell swoop. Everyone believes that it will not be long before the market value of Qianyu Group will exceed $200 billion, and this is obviously not its limit.
With this artificial intelligence, Qianyu Group's reputation in China surpassed that of Huawei and Alibaba, and it approached Tianxin Group, which can be regarded as completely reversing the negative image of the previous advertisement of selling fake drugs. Together, the sales of YPHONE and YPAD, notebook computers and other products of Yutian Electronics have increased significantly. Cao Lekang took the opportunity to launch a new generation of flagship machines, priced at 1999 yuan, obviously wanting to return to the mid-to-high-end market.
"This Yutian Electronics is really an unbeatable Xiaoqiang." Lu Yang commented after seeing the news.
Lu Yang has no good impression of Yutian Electronics, although after many years, his grievances with Dong Ping have faded, but Dong Ping did not forget what he did at the beginning.
However, considering that Yutian Electronics is not Dong Ping's boss now, Lu Yang has no desire to retaliate. It's just that he's interested in Qiandu's artificial intelligence. If you really talk about it, this should be the first self-developed artificial intelligence in Huaxia, and the previous Pangu and Huanghe are related to Tiandao credit cards.
Lu Yang asked Pangu to try to attack the Qiandu brain, but the result was a bit unexpected. Qiandu Brain is very keenly aware of Pangu's invasion, which is stronger than Gaia in the United States, but when dealing with Pangu's invasion, Qiandu Brain is far inferior to Gaia and Huanghe, and it belongs to the first generation of artificial intelligence.
"It turned out to be a big data system...... The so-called thousand-degree brain is actually still standing on the threshold of pseudo-artificial intelligence. According to Pangu's test, Lu ** made a judgment.
"Old Lei, do you know the Qiandu brain?" After the company's regular meeting, Lu Yang talked to Lei Jun about this matter.
"I know, I can't compare with Pangu." Lei Jun said.
Lu Yang nodded: "The gap between the two sides is very large, but the concept of the Thousand Degrees Brain gives me some inspiration." We realized cloud computing very early, but in the development of cloud computing applications, it is not as good as the later Qiandu. One of their features that I really appreciate, is the Human Health Program, and I think we can launch a similar product that works better than them! (To be continued.) )
