"How is the public welfare fund running now?" Before talking about today's topic, Chen Wenhao first asked Dai Yuqian a question.

"The fund has been in operation for half a year now, and has established cooperative relations with 35 colleges and universities and more than 260 high schools, and the main forms of cooperation are the establishment of scholarships and regular theme lectures."

"In addition, the fund has set up a nationwide award for outstanding translation works, and at the end of last year, the first edition was successfully selected, with more than 30 people winning awards and more than 10 million yuan in bonuses, which has had a great impact on the industry."

"What is more distinctive is our theme lecture, which is basically delivered by the group's technical experts, introducing the latest artificial intelligence technology, future development trends and impacts. Especially in middle school, it is very popular with students, and the school is also more supportive, and it is recognized as helpful for students to apply for majors. ”

Dai Yuqian is really interested in the corporate public welfare fund, and the data and situation come as soon as she speaks, "At present, the funds are abundant, and the main problem is that there is a serious shortage of manpower. There aren't enough team members for outreach and field visits, and there's not enough technical experts to be the keynote speakers. ”

Chen Wenhao shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not just this problem. I heard that those foreign Chinese colleges in China are very resistant to the company's funds? ”

Dai Yuqian smiled bitterly, "In such a situation, there are several companies that are not even willing to ask for our scholarships, mainly because of the resistance of students, especially senior students, and the popularity of small card assistant software has a greater impact on their employment." ”

Luo Liang interjected, "I read the news that since last year, there have been fifty percent fewer students applying for foreign language majors, and the foreign language departments of many schools are shrinking. ”

Dai Yuqian confirmed, "It is true that the situation in comprehensive universities is better, and the curriculum adjustment of foreign language departments has added a lot of business or secretarial content. The more specialized foreign language colleges have been hit harder, and many of them have dropped sharply in the rankings. That's another reason why these schools are resistant to us. ”

When Chen Wenhao heard this, he slapped the edge of the table with his hand, "Here's the problem." Some time ago, I focused on the space business, but now that I have time to think about it, I can see that the direction of our public welfare fund has deviated. ”

He leaned forward and propped his hands and elbows on the table, "Originally, I wanted to cushion the impact of artificial intelligence technology on society and relieve the pressure of public opinion on the company, but now it looks like the overall effect is average." The ones to be buffered are not very buffered, and the resentment continues to grow. ”

Dai Yuqian wanted to speak and stopped.

Chen Wenhao smiled at her, "Don't worry, I don't blame you, the main reason for the problem is also me, and the direction set at the beginning was deviated." Relying on tinkering and relying on small favors is useless for groups whose fundamental interests have been touched. ”

He continued, "There's a good saying, you can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. Just as the advent of machine production destroyed the handicraft workshop; The popularization of computers has changed almost all industries, and the practical impact of artificial intelligence is likely to be greater and more ferocious. Just like the launch of small card software, foreign language communication has lost the professional threshold. This has cost a small number of people, but for the vast majority, it has reduced the cost of communication. There is nothing wrong with such a change. ”

"Actually, if we don't do it, other companies in other countries will do it sooner or later. Rather than passively accepting, why not take the initiative into your own hands. I used to think that I should compensate the damaged groups, but now I find that I am wrong, and it is the right direction to expand the groups that benefit. ”

Dai Yuqian was a little puzzled and asked, "I understand what you mean, it makes sense, in fact, our team also has similar thinking, and plans to move the focus down to the middle and high school stage in the next step, increase the scholarship at this stage, and do more universal education courses." However, problems such as the shortage of human resources are difficult to solve in the short term. ”

Luo Liang also smiled and expressed his opinion, "This should belong to the troubles of happiness." The main thing is that our company's technology and products are too powerful, borrowing comments on the Internet, we are a black technology company. ”

Chen Wenhao shook his head, "It can be regarded as a happy worry now, but in the future, if you ignore it, the trouble will become bigger and bigger." So I've been waiting for an opportunity to solve the problem once and for all. Now, the opportunity has emerged. ”

"Mr. Chen refers to, this virtual projection product?" Luo Liang hesitated a little and asked uncertainly.

Chen Wenhao gave him a thumbs up and nodded, "That's right!" ”

Seeing that the two people on the other side were puzzled, Chen Wenhao asked a question, "Tell me why many people want their children to study in big cities?" Why is school district housing so expensive? ”

The two people who were asked looked at each other, and Dai Yuqian replied, "There is an imbalance in educational resources? ”

That's right! Chen Wenhao took over the conversation, "It is precisely because of the imbalance in education that big cities have better hardware facilities, better teachers, and more channels for foreign exchanges. Therefore, excluding special cases, objectively speaking, urban children are ahead of children in villages, towns and counties in terms of overall quality and vision. ”

Dai Yuqian responded, "This is normal, it's actually the same all over the world." European and American countries also have the concept of school district housing, and the housing prices in good school districts will be much higher than the surrounding housing prices. The country is only a little more obvious, and the root cause is the lack of educational resources. ”

"But what if there is such a product that allows children in schools in remote areas to get the curriculum of famous teachers, experience various scientific experiments, visit world-famous landscapes, and experience the customs of various countries? And students can also interact with management, for example, if the accent of reading aloud is wrong, the president will correct it over and over again. If you can't calculate the math problem, you will explain it step by step. Students can ask questions at any time if they don't understand them, and they can get answers as long as they have something in the database. ”

Chen Wenhao's description of the scene made the other two stunned. If true, this has even gone beyond the meaning of virtual projection technology itself, and will have a huge impact on the way education is done.

"And it's not just for school students, the market for adult professional education has been very hot. Our products can be done the same, no matter what training content, can be realized, and it is more image and convenient. ”

Chen Wenhao went on to describe the prospects, "If tens of millions, millions or even more people use our products, they will get a better education. With proper guidance, these groups that have already benefited from AI technology can easily develop a favorable impression of AI technology. When such a group becomes large enough, do we still need to care about negligible noise and resistance? ”

Dai Yuqian came back to her senses, "In the process of promotion, it will definitely touch the vested interests of some people." ”

Chen Wenhao didn't care, "No matter what, the group that benefits will account for the vast majority." Lowering the threshold for knowledge acquisition is the general trend and direction of social development. Ancient printing and modern Internet are the inevitable products of this general trend. This time, the application of virtual projection technology in education is also in line with the trend. ”

Luo Liang thought for a while before speaking, "There is no problem logically, but the premise is that the product can achieve the function just mentioned." I have used the company's previous virtual projector samples, although it is very powerful, but it has not yet reached that point, is there a new breakthrough? ”

Chen Wenhao laughed, "Let's go, it's better to see it in person after talking for a long time, I'll take you to see the latest achievements of the R&D department, they have made great progress in the interactive function, and they can be put into production at any time." ”
