Chapter 69: Finding out
"I didn't expect half a bottle of champagne to be so drunk, it seems that my heart has been too heavy recently."
When the late autumn sunlight poured into the bedroom from the sloping floor-to-ceiling windows on the south side, Gu Mojie rubbed his eyes and woke up, and when he looked at the time, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning.
Yesterday was Kwon Boa's birthday, Sunday, November 5th. So today is supposed to be the day of work. It's just that as a boss, no one will take care of Mo Jie's diligence.
There was a lot going on, and after getting up, Gu Mojie poured himself a glass of water and quietly struggled to figure it out.
Gu Yongjiang's cooperation over there, it is better to continue to keep it secret for the time being. Gu Yong will give him advice on the equity restructuring plan, you can also put it aside a little and wait until the year-end bonus plan is announced.
First, Gu Yongjiang just said that he is more well-connected and persuasive in the investment circle, and he is sure to persuade Tudou to submit to Gu Mojie. But after all, it also takes time to operate. According to Gu Mojie's estimate, I am afraid that this matter will not be solved in two months. Therefore, if it is announced too early and in a high-profile manner, it will not do any good, and it may make the industry and the public think that the Hatsune Group is exaggerated.
Of course, there is no shortage of companies in the Internet circle that make a big deal about the slightest acquisition or investment intention. It's just that most of those companies are trying to build momentum for themselves in the capital market so that their stock prices can soar. For Hatsune, who is neither looking for venture capital nor going public, these tricks have no value.
What's more, Gu Mojie hopes that the two brands Youku and Tudou can last at least until the beginning of 2007 and then be included in Hatsune Entertainment. The reason is simple, he needs a pair of white gloves that last as long as possible to maintain that part of the online video users who specialize in watching pirated blockbusters. If the Youku and Tudou brands hold on for a while, there will be no shortage of reforms of "slow restructuring and gradual de-piracy" in the future, which can be slowed down a little, and it will not affect the golden sign of "Hatsune Group never does piracy".
If Youku is not acquired until after the Spring Festival in 07, Gu Mojie expects that this "appropriate time required for reorganization" can drag on for more than half a year to ensure that the piracy resources of these two sub-brands under Youku Video will not be extinguished throughout 07. In this way, even if the domestic counterparts want to catch up with Gu Mojie by piracy in the future, it will take at least 08 years to do it, and Gu Mojie will be too strong to surpass at that time, even if the later pirate chasers are as strong as horse blossoms, he is not afraid.
After thinking through the countermeasures, Gu Mojie drank the water, washed up, and prepared to go out to the company.
β¦β¦
The car drove out of the manor, galloped on Nanshan Road for a while, and was about to turn onto Yanggong Embankment, and went straight to the company across the north of Hubei. Gu Mojie suddenly remembered something, and beckoned the bodyguard who was driving to stop.
"Cross the river, go to the smart side today to have a look." Gu Mojie commanded.
"Okay, Mr. Gu." The bodyguard didn't say anything, just turned the car around and crossed the Qiantang River by the fourth bridge.
Looking at the vast river view, Gu Mojie thought that it was time to put a little more burden on the division of Hatsune Intelligence. As the carrier of Hatsune Group's future hardware business, Hatsune Intelligent has received enough investment in this year to make all brother departments jealous. In particular, Hatsune Entertainment, which is a cash cow, is constantly transfusing blood for the hardware R&D department.
After taking so much money from Gu Mojie, it would be far from enough if he just did some basic communication/electronic technology accumulation. Gu Mojie needs more dry goods to prove that his investment is worth it.
He wants to ensure that after entering 07 years, Hatsune Intelligent has the strength to independently develop a domestic leading mobile phone product in terms of functionality.
The road on the south bank of the river is very empty, and it takes less than 20 minutes to get there. Gu Mojie didn't let the people below inform him in advance, what he wanted was the effect of the surprise inspection.
The people under the boss's car all knew each other, and they were not hindered in the slightest when they drove into the park, and the communication room just made a phone call to the top, and soon the carving master, Zhang Tuohai, Yan Lei and Chen Jingtian went downstairs to greet them.
"Mr. Gu, what kind of wind is this today, why did you think of coming here to inspect the work."
The carving master is still a little cynical, and he can't see much respect when he sees Gu Mojie. He now has the names of several companies outside, but he does not have an official title in Hatsune Intelligence, but he actually manages some of the hype and financing of Hatsune Intelligence, which can be regarded as a white glove for Hatsune Intelligence to sell concepts. This is also his strong point.
"What, not welcome? Could it be that there have been too many private jobs lately? Gu Mojie also casually punched the carving master on the shoulder, jokingly joking.
"How come, take a few more group photos in a while, I can blow it when I take it out, saying that it is a new project that we cooperate with Hatsune Intelligence, and Mr. Gu personally came to inspect it, Mr. Gu is very optimistic, and then he can cheat a few more people in the capital market who are stupid." As he spoke, the carving master pretended to take out his mobile phone and took a group photo with his shoulders on his back.
"Okay, don't talk about this, I don't have anything to do with you today, I'm mainly looking for a few of them to manage technology and understand some of the situation." Gu Mojie said, sent the eagle master away first, and then beckoned, Zhang Tuohai and Chen Jingtian immediately followed him into the conference room.
The four of them sat down, and Gu Mojie asked straight to the point: "Everyone is still competitive this year, relying on the hype of operation planning, the company has not lost money." However, our R&D investment is also hundreds of millions. Moreover, the investment in fixed assets such as room equipment has not been counted. Seeing that the year is coming to an end, I will come to see what achievements you have made, so as to give an explanation to the group. β
Gu Mojie said, taking a sip of tea. Zhang Tuohai took out a bunch of numbers step by step and was about to report, but was stopped by Gu Mojie.
"Wait, don't talk about those details. I REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I CAME TO YOUR SITE FOR AN INSPECTION, WHEN I JUST SOLD YOUTUBE TO GOOGLE DURING THE SUMMER VACATION AND GOT A BUNCH OF ADVANCED SENSOR TECHNOLOGY LICENSES FROM GOOGLE? I would like to know the progress in these areas, and you will be able to pick and choose. β
Zhang Tuohai listened, put away the thick number of reports, and said urgently.
"In the second half of this year, we also followed the group's instructions to focus on some sensor applications that we got back from Google. What Google gave us at the beginning mainly included intelligent recognition of audio samples and motion capture.
Among them, motion capture includes two categories: optical scanning capture processing and inertial sensing capture. Motion capture from optical scanning is mainly used in stage special effects performances and other large-scale equipment, and inertial sensing can be relatively miniaturized. Because you mentioned to me that the company may make mobile phones in the coming year, we mainly spend our energy on motion capture in this area on the branch of inertial sensing. β
Zhang Tuohai said this, although Gu Mojie didn't know the details, but he could still understand the general technical architecture.
The bottleneck of contemporary high-end sensor technology and the core of competition between industry giants is no longer the sensitivity of the sensor itself, but has shifted to the back-end intelligent recognition of the number obtained by the sensor.
Just like in the field of pattern recognition, a camera with a sufficiently high scanning resolution is no longer difficult in itself. BUT ONLY WITH THE COOPERATION OF FACEBOOK'S BACK-END RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY, THIS CAMERA CAN RECOGNIZE A FACE AFTER SCANNING IT. Although the sensors made by other companies can also be photographed accurately, they cannot do the action of "identification".
It can't be recognized, which means that this number is still processed by people and cannot be intelligentized.
In addition to making the machine "sense", it is also necessary to let the machine "know", and the difficulty lies in the latter.
Gu Mojie interrupted Zhang Tuohai's overly broad report and asked directly: "Are there any related products?" What is the effect of putting it into commercial use? β
"In terms of 'intelligent recognition of audio sampling', we have urgently developed two integrated switch modules for home appliances that can be multi-mode voice controlled in the past few months. These modules can not only be used as simple as traditional voice-activated switches, but can also be used to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner, the heat of the microwave oven, and the time of the microwave oven through voice recognition.
In addition, in order to enrich the initial user number database, we have adopted a wireless mode and are equipped with a CDMA communication module, which can feed back the collected user audio habit number jΓΉ to our server, providing a basic guarantee for the recognition accuracy in the future when it is officially commercialized......"
"Brother Hai, stop." Gu Mojie rubbed his temples and said with a smile, "I think you should first treat me as a person who doesn't know how to do it, not to mention being so professional." So, you say, with the current control of this technology, if we develop our own mobile phone next year, what can it bring to our mobile phone? β
Gu Mojie asked with such guidance, and Zhang Tuohai, a technical housekeeper, finally got on the road, he thought about it for a while, and said confidently: "I think that at least our mobile phones can be able to achieve 'more accurate voice control zhì dialing, texting, and texting', as well as some other mobile phone voice-activated commands." At present, Nokia is also doing the voice-activated dialing function, but it is not very accurate and the recognition rate is not high. Voice input text, Nokia and Samsung are not available. As long as Google doesn't make mobile phones, we can be regarded as having a unique advantage in this area.
In addition, the 'inertial sensing motion capture' is mainly based on the high-precision combined G-SENSOR. At present, international giants can only use simplified technology to achieve simple functions such as 'flipping and muting' and 'shaking and changing songs'. And our products can at least be used to play games with high gravity sensing accuracy, such as 'balance ball', and can also add some relatively high-precision gesture control. β
Zhang Tuohai followed up and said a lot, Gu Mojie listened to a rough idea, and finally came to such a conclusion:
If we take the current foundation and officially switch to mobile phones next year, then Hatsune will at most make a big road product that has no bright spots in communication, and then rely on the bells and whistles to play cool functions to win some selling points.
In line with the mentality of having dates and not making a shot, Gu Mojie finally asked: "What do you think of the question I said last time about the accumulation of experience in the use of Qualcomm's chipsets?" Have you tried anything? Or are you just waiting for the company to poach people from mobile phone companies and jump ship? (To be continued.) )
