"We will not only witness the advent of the new era of Global Village 2.0, but also the rise of a Chinese Internet giant. "In a top office building in Jianghai City's financial district, the head of the China branch of a venture capital firm sat in the conference room and spoke loudly.www.biquge.info

He looked around on both sides, and sat down with the backbone members of the company, graduated from major universities around the world, and had a proud career resume. He tapped the laptop in front of him with his index finger, "This company has only been established for a month, and everyone has used the new version of the software just now, so you must be able to see the value of it." ”

He picked up a report, "This is the valuation report just made by the marketing department, and the latest valuation of this company has exceeded 10 billion yuan, and it has super room for growth." Cheer up, everyone, we can't miss this opportunity! In the afternoon, there was a press conference in this company, and I personally led the team, so I must win the opportunity to have a deep conversation with the other party. ”

Chinachem Hotel Jianghai is located on the edge of the city's most famous riverside scenic spot, and is also the oldest luxury hotel in Jianghai City.

The hotel's most prestigious feature is the Nine Nations Suites, which are decorated in the traditional style of nine countries: China, the United Kingdom, the United States, India, France, Italy, Spain, Japan and Germany.

At this time, in the American suite of the Chinachem Hotel, Zuckerberg held his laptop, leaned back on the single sofa in the living room, and his eyes were fixed on the new version of the small card translation software running on the screen.

On the couch or floor next to him, there were three people, each with a laptop. All three are technical experts who came overnight from the United States with Zuckerberg and are the backbone of Facebook's artificial intelligence project team.

"What do you think?" Zuckerberg tapped his keyboard a few times, looked away from the laptop screen, and sat up straight to ask.

"Incredible! This software is ahead of our time, and I still don't know how to do it. It is only 9M in size and does not have the support of a local database. As for the possibility of cloud support, it is basically ruled out, I just tested it, and the mechanism is the same as the old version, which sends a very small packet to the server every hour, which should be used to verify the paid identity. No matter how much translation is done in this hour, the software will not connect to the server. ”

The speaker was a young Chinese man sitting on the sofa on Zuckerberg's left-hand side, who smiled wryly and shook his head in disbelief.

"I spent some time in the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab, and the level of artificial intelligence research at Stanford can be said to be at the forefront of the world. As far as I know, it is impossible to do this either. ”

"At present, the research findings of artificial intelligence are mainly biased towards neural networks, machine learning, and machine translation, among which the research team at MIT is the strongest."

Another white man continued, "I have just contacted Dr. Johnson of MIT, and he said that to reach the level of small card translation software, at least a supercomputer is needed, and a professional team of server experts and artificial intelligence experts is needed to support it at all times. Even then, it can only do single-threaded translation, which is completely impossible if you want to deal with tens of millions of users at the same time! ”

"So, we need it!" Zuckerberg listened and exhaled. He stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, which was open to the river, across which was a jungle of high-rise buildings.

He knows that it is the financial district of Jianghai City, where most of the banks and venture capital institutions with some strength in China have their bases, and many global financial institutions have also settled their Chinese headquarters in the financial district. These will all be contenders for Facebook's next move, and any financial institution will salivate for a company capable of producing small card translation software.

He was secretly glad that after seeing the preview of the new version of Xiaoka translation software, he immediately rushed to China overnight, and he didn't even have time to fall due to the jet lag, and he had to rush to the press conference after eating lunch. But it's all worth it, and it's given itself a head start for Facebook.

He had just received a message from Facebook's U.S. headquarters that it had been confirmed that executives from Twitter, Myspace, YouTube, NetFilx and other social networking and video sites were on their way to China, but no matter how fast they were, they couldn't catch up with the press conference, let alone meet with the founder of the company that suddenly became a blockbuster today.

At half past 1 p.m., in the internal lounge of the conference hall of Linjiang Town Software Park.

After getting the news, Lu Wenqiang, director of the Software Park Management Committee, had arrived in advance, and saw Chen Wenhao coming in through the back door, and greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Chen, if you don't show up again, the reporters will be about to dig three feet into the software park." ”

"I've troubled Director Lu for helping me in the past two days, thank you so much." Of course, Chen Wenhao knew that the other party was showing merit, which was human nature, and in terms of venue and manpower, the other party did help a lot, and he had to accept this feeling.

"Director Lu, I have a reluctant request, I don't know if it will be convenient for you for a while?"

"Oh? Mr. Chen is not polite, it is what our management committee should do to serve the enterprises in the park well. Lu Wenqiang's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"At the press conference, our company would like to invite Director Lu as a special guest to make an opening speech. I know that this invitation is a bit hasty, the company is new, and I have no experience in this area, so I have to ask Director Lu for forgiveness. ”

"It's too much to say that the opening speech is too much, but when Mr. Chen opened his mouth, I took it hard, and I took it as a hot end." Lu Wenqiang smiled even more, and took the job politely.

Chen Wenhao naturally understood that Lu Wenqiang was so enthusiastic about the press conference, and he must have taken a fancy to the opportunity to show his face in the media.

Chen Wenhao was also a little surprised to get the media list before, not only including the domestic mainstream IT media and portals, but also Jianghai TV, C*TV, Ren* Daily and other units with a strong official flavor also sent reporters, and more than 40 media gathered on the spot.

For an official like Lu Wenqiang in the system, especially on the plot he is responsible for, how can he miss such an opportunity to show his face. Chen Wenhao is also happy to be a favor, the company is settled here, and it is also necessary to have a good relationship with the local snake. Chinese-style interpersonal communication, pay attention to the flower sedan chair people to carry people.

Lu Wenqiang was even more enthusiastic at this time, "The development of Chen's head office is really a rapid progress, and I have received a request from your company to rent the entire building." I would like to say that the park is very happy to witness the growth of Internet giants, and will do its best to create the most favorable external conditions for enterprises. ”

The two were chatting, and suddenly there was a commotion from the large conference hall next door, although the lounge and the conference hall were only separated by a wall, but the sound insulation effect was good, the two of them talked for so long, and the conference hall next door was already full of reporters, and there was no sound at all.

The two were about to go over to find out, when a staff member of the management committee rushed in and entered, "Director, Zuckerberg is here!" ”

Lu Wenqiang saw that his subordinates rushed in without even knocking on the door, his face was a little unsightly, and he asked angrily, "Which Zuckerberg?" ”

The staff obviously hasn't recovered from their excitement yet, "It's the one from Facebook!" The one with a company market capitalization of hundreds of billions of dollars! ”

Lu Wenqiang got up from the sofa with a "swoop", "Are you sure?" What is he doing here? ”

"Absolutely, he's already surrounded by reporters, and it's said that he's here for a press conference at Infinite Future." The staff only found out about Chen Wenhao's existence at this time, "Mr. Chen, go quickly, the reporters are excited, and the people in your company are maintaining order." ”

Chen Wenhao patted his head, he had been thinking about how to cooperate with Facebook to help him achieve his goals better and faster, but he forgot to inform Jin Wei and the park party that Xiaozha was coming. Most of the media that come today are in the field of computers and the Internet, and suddenly seeing a heavyweight like Xiaozha is the same as a hungry wolf seeing meat.

He looked at the time, it was almost 2 o'clock, "Director Lu, the time for the press conference is coming, let's go over." ”
