Chapter 59: Valuation of $10 Billion?

Apple's stock price, which fell 1% in the first hour of trading, wiped out $8.2 billion in market value. Apple's stock price is still fluctuating, falling for three days in a row, and finally stabilizing, falling by nearly 4% in three days, which is a very large decline for any company, especially for a giant like Apple.

The last time there was such a big drop, it was when Apple announced that it would charge Apple's tipping fees. This sudden drop is reminiscent of smart assistants.

Apple's system is closed-source and cannot support smart assistants, and it will no longer have an advantage in the next mobile phone market. And Apple's mobile phone is the most profitable of many businesses, and all Apple's stock prices have shown a downward trend, although the decline is not very large, but the impact has come out.

This impact caused an uproar in the market, and many media reported on this topic.

……

Countless reports have been written about the threat of marching ants.

It was bustling outside, and Apple's headquarters was not quiet, and a researcher with a hooked nose and a bearded face looked at the screen code on the computer with a gloomy face.

It's been a week since they hacked back files from the Marching Ant database.

For a week, he's trying to figure out how to hack the folder. Tried for so long, and only today has there been a little progress.

He didn't expect that the marching ant company was so difficult, and it actually encrypted the data, which made him want to break his scalp.

The company's recent stock market is not very good, and the boss keeps urging him to crack the data package and get the source code of the intelligent assistant, otherwise he will definitely be scolded.

“OK。”

The man sitting in the computer chair finally smiled. It didn't take long for the man's smile to freeze on his face, and he saw a bunch of gibberish on it, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Syllable......

The computer screen went black, and the computers next to it were all black. This scene made the man's pupils shrink.

“fuck!”

The man shouted angrily and slammed his fist on the keyboard. Don't think about it, the people of the marching ant company planted a virus in the data packet, and he was tricked.

With the computer screen black, there was also a commotion in the office area.

Marching Ant Company.

Chen Mo smiled slightly when he heard Mo Nu's report.

He has asked Mo Nu to implant a tracking virus in the data packet, as long as the data packet is cracked, it is when the virus spreads, the computer has been wasted, this is just a small lesson for them.

Standing up from his position, Chen Mo put on his lab coat and walked towards the laboratory.

Chen Mo is very calm here, but the domestic network is not calm. With the popularity of intelligent assistants, more and more interesting things have also exploded from the network.

In Weibo, someone posted that his girlfriend had a quarrel with a smart assistant, and then smashed his phone in a fit of anger. After the video was uploaded to the Internet, it attracted a lot of onlookers and laughter.

Fluttershy's chat function is also vividly and exquisitely reflected in just one video.

This is not an isolated case, under the official Weibo of the marching ant company, it has been occupied by a group of complaining people.

"I've never seen such an arrogant intelligent assistant, every time I scold it, it doesn't fight back, and asks me to smash it. It bullied me and didn't dare to hit it? Needless to say, I just bought a new phone now. ”

"Product quality problems, marching ants, you pay me for my mobile phone. I scolded it, and it told me to put it in the water. I forgot it wasn't butterfly eyes. ”

"It seems that I'm not the only one who was injured, but fortunately, the screen exploded, and it can be replaced."

"Brothers, go up on me, my phone is Nokia ......"

Although the style of painting is strange and funny, many people see the main point.

Being able to have such a flexible voice interaction function is undoubtedly telling everyone that the artificial intelligence of the marching ant company is already at the forefront of research.

Artificial intelligence is the main development trend of future technology.

Whoever makes a major breakthrough in this area will rule the market in the future. The market for artificial intelligence has been studied for a long time, and many technology companies have invested a lot of money in the research of artificial intelligence.

Many market appraisal companies began to evaluate the value of marching ant companies, and finally Morgan made a valuation of $10 billion.

This valuation shook the financial markets. But many people do not agree with Morgan's estimates, believing that the valuation is too low.

Not to mention the marching ant system and butterfly-eye mobile phones, just the existence of smart assistants, the market value has exceeded $10 billion.

In the future, when entering the global market, even if only 50 million mobile phone users pay to use smart assistants, the annual revenue of the marching ant company will be 12 billion Huaxia coins.

This is only the lowest estimate, there are billions of smartphones in the world, and with a little optimism, the future of the marching ant company is limitless with intelligent assistants, and there are many derivatives of intelligent assistants.

$10 billion, just a minimum valuation. For the marching ant companies that have not yet developed, in the future, the market value of the marching ant companies will definitely be comparable to those giants.

The rise of marching ants has caused a huge sensation in China.

All kinds of reports on marching ants were overwhelming, and for a while, marching ant companies once again became the focus of everyone's discussion.

Founded less than a year ago, with only two product launches, Marching Ant has become one of the domestic technology giants, which can be called a legendary rise.

Never before has a tech company risen at such a rapid pace.

And the marching ant company in the eye of the storm is busy at this time. After the intelligent assistant came out, the marching ant company once again ushered in the opportunity to expand.

Zhao Min was sitting in the office dealing with a whole pile of papers, and she had a headache at this time.

After the intelligent assistant came out, the marching ant company ushered in the biggest development period. This time it has to expand or not, the company's popularity has reached a peak, and the scale of the company must be expanded in order to operate better.

But herein lies the problem, expanding too quickly and the company is prone to problems.

According to various reports outside, no one knows better than Zhao Min how powerful the marching ant company is, and now there is a shortage of talents in the marching ant company, and the speed of talent training cannot keep up with the speed of the company's development.

The last time the butterfly eye mobile phone was released, the company had already laid out in major cities in China.

Now that the scale is expanding, the talent can't keep up. In order to develop faster, the capable managers of the headhunting company have been recruited and sent to major cities to set up branches.

And at present, preparations have begun to be made for nationwide recruitment and recruitment of talents. The marching ant company is like a large machine, which must be combined with various pinions in order to function.

"Trouble." Zhao Min put down the document and knocked on his head, exhaling deeply.

The intelligent assistant is selling very wildly, and during this time, the company's revenue is almost a daily profit. With more money comes more trouble.

Not long after Zhao Min put down the document, Xiaoyu walked in: "Sister Zhao, Mr. Yu Chengnan, CEO of Huawei Terminal Company, wants to see you, and he is now in the reception room." ”
