That year, he went all the way north and left Y City, where he had lived for twelve years, just to heal the wounds she gave her alone in a corner she couldn't see.

As if it was destined by heaven, my parents' company expanded its business in Shanghai that year, and they were able to buy a house in Shanghai, where every inch of land is expensive, by the wave of reform and opening up. He is no longer the pride of the sky held by every teacher in elementary school, and in Shanghai, where he is unfamiliar with life, everything has to be fought again. Occasionally he would remember her, the one who never belonged to him. Y City is a wounded city in memory, her figure is already far away, and the lonely shadow of her body is gradually elongating, I don't know who can be allowed to be frivolous for the rest of her life. Love is an illusion, but everyone should experience love at least once in their life, because love can reshape a person's mind.

No matter how unbearable the past is, life still has to go on. When Sheng Ming first came to Shanghai to study in junior high school, his grades only barely hovered in the tenth to twentieth place in the year, which made Sheng Ming, who was used to leading others, very distressed, and suddenly realized the fierce social competition. He had to spend months of reading at night to try to catch up, but he didn't expect that not only did he stand still, but he also made the lenses on the bridge of his nose thicker.

Sheng Ming's worries were seen by his father Yu Chenlei. Knowing the son is more than the father. Chen Lei can fully understand Sheng Ming, and even rejoice that his son can go through such a bottleneck period, after all, no opponent is more terrible than being surrounded by opponents, Sheng Ming is still young, and he doesn't have enough experience to stand in the realm of a strong man without an opponent, so it's better to let him hone and hone more. For these, Yu Chenlei is a person who has come over, as the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination in 77, he was very popular in that era, and after graduation, the state assigned him to go to the factory as a mechanical engineer. It was in the factory that he met Lu Yaqin, a textile worker, who was Shengming's mother. At that time, people were so simple, holding hands could live together for a lifetime.

Life after marriage went smoothly, and Sheng Ming was born a year later. The family is happy, and the life has added a lot of expenses, and there is not much money saved throughout the year, even if Chen Lei and Yaqin work overtime, the salary of the two people is just enough to spend, Chen Lei stared at the little life waiting to be fed, and began to use his brain. happened to coincide with the reform and opening up, Chen Lei watched the people around him resign one by one and go to the sea, and began to plan to set up a company that manufactures large machinery. He put forward his ideas with his family, but he didn't expect to be strongly opposed by his parents and father-in-law, Chen Lei was unwilling to raise his hand to vote, and only his wife Lu Yaqin supported him at home, although there was only one vote, Chen Lei still decided to put his ideas into practice.

In the 90s, most of China's machinery and equipment could only rely on imports, Yu Chenlei watched the factory invest a lot of money in the purchase of equipment every year, thinking that he would use the experience of dealing with machines over the years to make domestic machinery and equipment. Taking advantage of the free ride of reform and opening up, Chen Lei soon made the enterprise bigger and bigger, and most businessmen were blinded by large sums of money at this juncture, but Chen Lei did not blindly expand. He often told his subordinates that he was a businessman and a Confucian businessman. As the saying goes, "no treacherous business", that is actually the misinformation of "no sharp business", describing the fact that the rice sold by the store to the customer is generally sharp, Chen Lei is willing to be such a "top businessman", and give more benefits to dealers and factories that order equipment. Running a business is a science, and it is necessary to be impartial and master the heat, which is a bit like the golden mean advocated by the older generation.

The company is growing day by day, and his son Shengming is gradually growing up. Chen Lei was pleased to find that the invincible Sheng Ming finally encountered the first hurdle in his life, a good thing, this kid needs to grow up! Once Chen Lei came back from work, Yaqin was cooking in the kitchen, and the father and son leaned on the sofa and chatted, "What do you think Dad started the company for?" Sheng Ming replied reflexively, "It's to make money and provide good living conditions for me and my mother." Chen Lei smiled and said nothing. Sheng Ming wondered, "Isn't it because of this?" Chen Lei touched Sheng Ming's head, "Son, you only got half of the answer right." Money is a tool, not an end, and commercialization is a way to disseminate products, not so much to start a company, but to use business to build your own kingdom of ideas. Sheng Ming seemed to understand whether he understood or not, Chen Lei waved his hand, "That's it, you will understand in the future." What have you been reading lately? ”

Sheng Ming lowered his head and thought about it, "Father, I recently found that Zeng Guofan's biography is quite content, every turning point in life is an opportunity to broaden the pattern, it seems to be giving up, but in fact it is self-sublimation, because the turning point can enrich a person's experience, so as not to stand still in one place and stagnate." By the way, I read an article a few months ago that described Harvard students studying hard at 4 a.m....... "Chen Lei interrupted him suddenly, "Wait a minute, what kind of article is that, you can show me." Sheng Ming got up and flipped through a pile of books for a while, and suddenly patted his head, "Oops, I forgot, it's an online article...... Found the link, I'll send it to you. Chen Lei frowned and browsed through the full article, "There is a problem with this article, the situation described in it is not in line with human nature, and one of my father's college classmates later studied for a master's degree at Harvard, and people also work hard when they should work hard, and rest when they should rest." Hard work is right, but you can't die to learn, people at Harvard don't necessarily have how smart they are, but everyone has their own dreams and some different thinking. ”

Chen Lei paused, and looked at his son sharply, "That's why you've worked blindly during this time, right?" Sheng Ming lowered her head in shame. Chen Lei then guided his son, "Many people's efforts are just to comfort themselves, but the most valuable things in this world will never be obtained because of attachment, but a kind of naturalness. This is not to deny all acquired human factors, but because great gains often come from continuous habits and inner flow. Happiness and wealth are like sand in the palm of your hand, the more you want to grasp it, the faster it will be lost, but having a vision and relaxation can come naturally. You have to learn to control your state of mind, so that you can avoid unpleasantness as much as possible, and this is another way to reap happiness and achieve inner peace. Only when people are free in their minds is they the truest selves. When you have a clear mind, your success will come naturally. Sheng Ming, you are not yet an adult, you can temper yourself first, and opportunities will definitely patronize those who are prepared. You remember: all success is not accidental, but the combined force of nature (potential), mind (character), environment (opportunity), accumulation (habit), and cognition (experience)! Sheng Ming looked up at Chen Lei with adoring eyes, "What the father said is very true, and the son remembers the teachings!" ”

At this time, Yaqin beckoned the father and son to eat, Chen Lei turned on the TV and thought about what program to watch, the remote control was pressed for a long time, and it just happened to turn to the Y city TV station, and the screen was playing the picture of the artificial intelligence exhibition, so he immediately called his son and asked him if he wanted to visit the exhibition together on the weekend, Sheng Ming also came to be interested, and hit it off with his father.

Saturday's convention and exhibition center was crowded, and I saw a robot tour guide standing at the door of the exhibition hall, Sheng Ming excitedly shouted, "Dad, look, there is a robot there that looks like Dabai in the cartoon "Super Marines"!" Unexpectedly, the robot tour guide quickly turned to Sheng Ming, "You hate it so much, people's name is Xiaobai, much thinner than Dabai." The tourists present all laughed, and Sheng Ming looked surprised, "Oh my God, there is still this kind of operation?" ”

As they continue to walk into the exhibition hall, several citizens are experiencing the future of smart medical care through doctor-patient role-playing, virtual reality experience, big data and other forms. There are also unmanned driving simulations, traffic police robots, smart parking, intelligent monitoring, etc., which intuitively show the operation of future intelligent transportation and "city brain"; There were a lot of people around the robot barber, a nimble robotic arm skillfully using electric clippers, and the men served were very satisfied admiring their hairstyles; There is also an unmanned supermarket at the end of the exhibition hall, where people do not have to queue up to pay, and will automatically scan the code to pay when they pass through the door......

Chen Lei said meaningfully, "The times have become really fast!" The temporary scenery of things is just a product of the stages of the times, and it is often like a passing cloud. Artificial intelligence will definitely be an important business opportunity in the future, and even as popular as the Internet! Sheng Ming suddenly remembered something, "Dad, Ma Yun once attacked the idea of artificial intelligence, he believes that intelligence is not to replace artificial, but to defeat the human brain." Chen Lei nodded heavily, "He has a point. Ma Yun's strength lies in his forward-lookingness, however, from the analysis of some of his usual remarks, his thoughts have not formed an independent operating system, otherwise it means that some of the things he usually says in public are planned by the think tank behind him. But that didn't stop him from coming to prominence. His success is closely related to the popularity of online shopping as a lifestyle, and it is difficult to say whether he made Taobao or Taobao made him. If online shopping was inevitable at that time, Jack Ma, who had tenacious perseverance and a big pattern, would definitely succeed. ”

Sheng Ming nodded thoughtfully, "Dad, I'm a little worried, robots will be so powerful in the future, what kind of work can humans do?" Will manpower be easily replaced by machines? What do you think of my future in the direction of artificial intelligence? I also want to be like Mr. Ma Yun and work in the forefront of the times. Chen Lei looked at his son with satisfaction, "My child is ambitious!" In the future, large-scale enterprises will definitely use artificial intelligence in large quantities, and the price of artificial labor will be seriously differentiated, and the value of people who cannot be replaced by artificial intelligence will double. In the next ten years, almost all jobs that do not involve creativity will be subverted, and creativity will be the most important ability, because no matter how developed artificial intelligence is, it will not understand art. ”

Sheng Ming listened a little foggy, "Art? Dad, you're too demanding of me, aren't you? My son has always been best at science, and he doesn't know art at all! Chen Lei laughed when he heard this, "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet." I mean, you have to try to find out what you have in yourself. In the past, people have tried to have standardized 'excellent' personalities, and in the future, people will not only envy people with individuality, but even need to rely on their own characteristics to survive well. It has become a marathon road, and people have to give up any way that will overdraw themselves, because for those who don't innovate, their opponents are not only billions of humans, but also more and more robots! Working hard will not only not make you live well, but will also lose your personality and drown in the sea of people. Dad hopes that even if you can participate in the creation of artificial intelligence in the future, you will not forget to preserve your own personality, and maybe you can use your own exploration and cross-border innovation in other fields. ”

At this time, a foreigner with blue glasses and a high nose stopped behind Chen Lei and listened to the conversation between father and son with appreciation. Sheng Ming was the first to find him and said hello very politely, but he didn't expect the foreigner to open the conversation box in fluent Chinese, "Hello! Nice to meet you guys! I'm Mike, an assistant to Turing Award winner Professor Jack Hopson, and I couldn't agree more with what you just discussed, and if you're interested, this guy can attend our International Artificial Intelligence Bootcamp where Professor Jack Hopson will teach in person via the distance education network. Saying that, he smiled and nodded to Sheng Ming, Sheng Ming was pleasantly surprised and happily agreed.

A year later, Sheng Ming ended his artificial intelligence training, and Chen Lei found that his son's mental outlook was different from before, "It's not easy for you, as the youngest student in the training camp, and at the same time you have to deal with school schoolwork, but fortunately, you still have half a year to go to high school, but your current vision must be not very different from your peers, and to put it bluntly, studying is also to have the ability to make a living in the future." Sheng Ming replied very modestly, "Dad, don't praise me like this, I will be proud." In fact, the process is hard, but this hard work is different from a year ago, and only knowing hard work, and sure enough, self-denial can make progress. I felt that it was my interest that guided me, and Professor Jack Hopson commented that I was gifted in this area because I was always able to ask something different from others and solve it. ”

Chen Lei looked at Sheng Ming with great satisfaction, "Son, Dad has been reading about artificial intelligence recently, and after studying a lot of data, I found that those companies with a deep digital background can make at least 50% more profits from AI technology than other companies. So I also plan to apply AI technology to the company's business. It's just that I don't understand a question, artificial intelligence is so powerful, is it possible to rebel against humans in the future? Sheng Ming was taken aback, "Dad, you really keep pace with the times!" I would have taken these into account. In the future, the technological products brought by artificial intelligence will be the 'container' of human wisdom. Artificial intelligence can simulate the information process of human consciousness and thinking, it is not human intelligence, but it can think like human beings, and may also surpass human intelligence. But even if a machine passes the Turing test, it doesn't necessarily mean that the machine really has the same mind and consciousness as a human. Because machines do not have an ego and do not have the same or similar creativity, self-preservation consciousness, emotion, and spontaneous behavior as humans. ”

Chen Lei nodded approvingly, "I didn't expect my son to know so much now!" Sheng Ming pursed her lips and smiled, "Dad, this is just the beginning!" I don't just like to study artificial intelligence, I want to persevere, and strive for several high-quality projects in the future, and I hope to have my own place in this field. After all, if people live only for enjoyment, it is too boring, I have to constantly challenge myself, to maximize my own value, of course, I will slowly know how to adjust, relaxed. ”
