Chapter 392 [Shock of the Education and Training Industry]

Yao Jianhong memorized all Luo Sheng's instructions and left the office and went to prepare.

Luo Sheng's opening, the Cote d'Azur company smashed in a huge amount of 5.5 billion US dollars, about 375 yuan, for the sake of one thing - big data.

In the era of big data, the most valuable thing is not the solution, but the data information, including but not limited to text, pictures, audio, video and other data content.

The scale of investment in the smart tablet project means that it will exceed 100~15 billion US dollars, which is almost five to eight times the investment cost of the first generation of Azure of the Cote d'Azur.

In terms of risk, it may be more than ten times as much as the former.

However, Luo Sheng made a decision without hesitation, without him, anything can be reduced to a sunset industry, but the education industry will never decline, if it fails, it can only mean that the product is not good enough, not that the education industry is declining.

……

Entering March, a piece of news caused a big wave of hype among practitioners in the field of education.

Oriental headquarters, conference room.

"The news has been confirmed, the Cote d'Azur company held a media conference just an hour ago, Yao Jianhong officially announced the company's entry into the education and training industry, and plans to invest more than 100 billion yuan in the next three years, about 15 billion US dollars of budget scale."

The executives at the meeting were all dumbfounded when they heard this report, and everyone was stunned and motionless.

"My God, more than 100 billion investment?"

"It doesn't make sense, how did Luo Sheng's brain turn, isn't the Cote d'Azur company a high-tech company? What does it have to do with the education industry? ”

"What is he a science and technology boss doing in the field of education and training?"

"In any case, the education and training industry is going to usher in great changes, and it is even tantamount to a major earthquake, and even if the 100 billion is smashed in, even if nothing is done, the whole industry will tremble."

At this moment, people in the east of the salary can't figure out what Luo Sheng is doing when he throws himself into the education industry, can't he sell your smartphone well? And as soon as it came up, it was announced that it would smash more than 100 billion yuan, which was really a scary rhythm, which was the sum of the market value of eight or nine salaries.

Mr. Yu, the head of the company, said in a deep voice: "Judging from today's news, combined with the 'Luo Sheng Public Welfare Fund', which attracted great attention from the society at the beginning of the year, it is a long-planned move for the Cote d'Azur to enter the education and training industry." ”

One of the managers at the meeting spread his hands and said, "Why? From high-tech research and development to education and training, the cross-border is so big, I can't figure out how Luo Sheng can play with education and training, hundreds of billions of dollars are invested in it, and he is not afraid of losing his money? ”

According to the 2009 annual report of the Cote d'Azur, last year's annual report was 315 billion yuan, and this year's Azure-3 is selling crazy, Nielsen Agency's forecast is that the Cote d'Azur's 2010 annual performance is expected to rush to more than 70 billion US dollars, that is, more than 500 billion yuan of revenue, don't forget that Luo Sheng and Bluestar Technology Group and Shengfeng Capital can fill the deficit, even if it really hurts, It may take a year or two to get over. ”

This is the most terrifying place, people have capricious capital.

Mr. Yu said: "The top priority is to figure out what the Cote d'Azur relies on to enter the education and training industry. Will it become our competitor? I can't figure out the bottom of the other party, just here is nonsense, it's a blind man lighting the lamp in vain, and the battle can't be fought like this. ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Yu sighed: "I estimate that peers in the industry generally have this anxiety, the other party is menacing, and you can't touch the other party's road is the most bottomless." ”

Mr. Yu is right, not only Salary Eastern, but also education and training companies such as Global IELTS are now holding temporary meetings to discuss, and the focus of the discussion is how the blockbuster news just released by the Cote d'Azur will affect them.

All aspects of the assessment are being carried out.

The elites in the education and training industry don't realize that this is a dimensionality reduction blow to the education and training industry from the technology industry that they are completely unfamiliar with, and even these industry elites in the education industry have not yet figured out the other party's means of attacking, how to talk about the reaction? What to do?

Because until now, the "smart tablet" project of the Côte d'Azur is still in a state of secrecy, and the outside world does not know about it.

However, the elite who can stand at the top of the line is not a wine bag and rice bag, even if it is not clear how the other party will strike, but the scale of investment announced by the Cote d'Azur to spend 100 billion yuan is already known, no matter what you do, this is a terrifying energy shockwave.

After the meeting, Mr. Yu decisively called his competitors, and in the face of Luo Sheng, an "outsider", suddenly breaking into their territory, the industry insiders consciously chose to hold together.

This is normal, however, anyone who sees a stranger suddenly break in will be vigilant, at least the old opponent who has been fighting for a long time knows him very well, and the group will go with the flow.

……

Wang Sisi is a middle school English teacher, and her meager salary and rising housing prices and prices are rising today, plus a place like Shencheng makes her really feel financial pressure.

Recently, Wang Sisi is ready to use his spare time to engage in extracurricular English training, which is regarded as earning some extra income from his major to subsidize the economic pressure of life, and it is an indisputable fact that all kinds of English training are very popular now.

However, just yesterday's news disrupted Wang Sisi's long-thinking plan, that is, the news of the Cote d'Azur announcing its entry into education and training was swiped.

Wang Sisi has also seen the news.

Among them, he paid special attention to the fact that the Cte d'Azur Education and Training Business Group should recruit teachers from all over the world to contribute educational materials, including but not limited to text, pictures, video or audio materials, covering all disciplines, as well as all stages from primary school to university.

The Criviera encourages teachers around the world to open online courses, use their spare time to produce some teaching content and even popular science content, and also disclose a set of contract mechanisms, which can be done part-time without teachers resigning from their positions.

Once the contract is signed, not only will there be a stable basic remuneration guarantee, but the educational materials produced will also be purchased by the Criste d'Azur to obtain a second income.

At the same time, educational materials will also be included in a set of algorithms according to click-through rate, popularity and other indicators in the future platform, a bit like the nature of the "advertising alliance" of Bluestar Technology's online video business, to get a share of income, and theoretically the upper limit of income here is very high.

In other words, teachers only need to create knowledge, and then hand over the created knowledge to the Côte d'Azur to operate commercially.

This may be a representative event of the arrival of the era of "knowledge payment" of Web 3.0.

For the field of education and training, especially offline education and training institutions, such as some English training institutions, once this new model implemented by the Côte d'Azur is successful, the impact will be tantamount to a major earthquake for them.

This is the dimensionality reduction strike, with a strong platform resource integration ability, relying on advanced technological advantages, from the online to the offline.

Wang Sisi thought about it again and again, and finally decided to give up the idea of doing extracurricular training classes by himself for the time being, but to submit the manuscript first to try it, if he can get a considerable additional income, then he does not need to do training by himself.

The Cote d'Azur's spending of 100 billion gave her a lot of information, and she didn't have to worry about being deceived.

Relatively speaking, it is a lot more tiring to do extracurricular training by yourself, and how easy it is to submit a post like the Côte d'Azur, you don't have to worry about it after the material is produced.

Not only Wang Sisi has this idea and decision, but many teachers in the north and south of the country who have learned about this matter are eager to try, after all, it does not affect their original career, it just takes up some spare time, and they can also get an additional source of income, why not?

Internationally, too, the best of both worlds is achieved by disseminating knowledge and obtaining an additional source of income.

Leaving aside the situation in foreign countries, let's just talk about the mainland, it is an indisputable fact that teachers' incomes are generally low, otherwise there would be no mushrooms of various training institutions.

In recent years, among the major problems that plague the career development of teachers, the poor salary has become the main culprit that prompts most teachers to abandon teaching and engage in business, and there are many grassroots teachers with a monthly salary of 2,000 or less.

Big data shows that the income of college teachers in higher education accounts for half of the annual salary of less than 100,000 yuan, and less than 5% of the annual salary of more than 200,000 yuan.

There are even reports that an old professor who has served in a university for 30 years has a salary of just over 6,000 a month.

For primary and secondary school teachers at the grassroots level, the income situation is even less optimistic.

The treatment of a drop in the bucket has forced many young teachers engaged in basic education to give up their mission of teaching and educating people and start to find another way to make a living.

However, when the Cote d'Azur company vigorously promoted the enrichment of teaching resources and data, some "bricks" jumped out at this time to criticize harshly, claiming that "teachers are engineers of the human soul and should not be excessively kidnapped by commercialization."

The industry has sparked a big discussion from this topic, and you must know that before that, the establishment of the "Luo Sheng Public Welfare Fund" has been unanimously praised in the society, which has formed a sharp contrast.

Luo Sheng, who takes time out to read newspapers and read information every day, naturally does not know what is being discussed in society now.

There is nothing to say, Luo Sheng backhanded and posted a dynamic on his Weibo in response:

[The literati do not have to be poor, and the happiness of poverty should not be understood in this way.] Poverty and happiness means that even if I am poor, I am happy, not that I must be poor. Who says that intellectuals must be poor? Who says that a scholar should be poor? Who said that whoever gets rich should dig coal and dig oil? What is the truth of this? If it is said that the people who read books, create knowledge, and create culture in a society are poor, is this society a reasonable society? ]
