Chapter 37: Pichai's Solo Show
A spotlight hit the center and illuminated Pichai, a V-neck sweater, holding out his hands and making a hugging gesture, and the fans in the audience were boiling, and the endless applause and cheers boiled throughout the venue. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Some of them were still standing up, shaking their fists vigorously and shouting.
"Pichai!"
"Pichai!"
ā¦ā¦
The voices of the venue grew higher and more neat, converging into a torrent of sound that reverberated in the venue, uninterrupted for a long time, and the lights flickered indiscriminately, illuminating Google's fans, who had been angry at Google's inaction, but today Pichai came.
They believe that this Pichai, who continues to work miracles, can give them a satisfactory reply, not a press conference of Shennian Technology.
The lights on the stage slowly brightened, and there was a high platform in front of Pichai, who stood with his eyes closed, enjoying the cheers of the audience. After graduating from the Wharton School of Pennsylvania with his Ph.D. in business administration from IBM, he cheered everywhere he went.
He enjoyed it because it was a sign of his success.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Google ExplorerGlass launch event, I'm Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google. Of course, you can also call me Pichai Sandra Raja. I prefer this title a bit. ā
As soon as he finished speaking, the venue began to be noisy again, and he reached out his hand and pressed it downwards to signal everyone to be quiet, he knew what the fans were cheering about, because the title Sandra Raja represented his glorious past.
"During this time, the country far away in the East has launched a very interesting new product, which is based on Google's projectglass and Microsoft's Holoens research and development, realizing our dream of virtual reflection."
"Of course, this very young general manager threw our projectglass to the ground at the press conference, stepped on it twice, and crushed it hard. This is very common and is also the practice of our Internet business press conferences. ā
"Google fans have been very disappointed with our Google reaction recently, and it has been a full 18 days since the release of the Smart Eye Holographic Glasses, and we at Google have not responded for a long time. Fans are disappointed and angry with us. Unwilling. Some even argue that Pichai as CEO has put Google in jeopardy. ā
"In 2011, I tried to jump ship from Google to Twitter, and Page gave me a bonus of 50 million to keep me."
"On August 11, 2015, I took over the role of CEO of Google from Andy Rubin, and Page gave me $99.8 million in restricted stock and the rest of the perks. The two of them are now fishing, skateboarding, and maybe surfing in the Atlantic Ocean on the Mississippi River. Enjoying the beach beauties, but left me. ā
"I'm enjoying what I'm doing. I won't disappoint the two founders either, and we at Google will continue to fly! After speaking, he nodded vigorously, pinning his strength on the fans.
Speech is a very atmospheric job, and he sees that the audience's emotions have adjusted from the intensity and begin to focus on his words.
"Google's holographic glasses, the Explorer Holographic Glasses, were released today, and as is customary, let's take a look at the differences between us and Cree Eye."
"The graphene holographic screen adopted by Google is a two-dimensional crystal display composed of carbon atoms and only one layer of atom thickness. Flexible! Vista projection! Sight distance adjustment! Our Google ExplorerGlass can do it too! ā
"The area of 1 gram of graphene is 2,630 square meters after unfolding, so we don't have to worry about our production capacity. We Google don't know much about those marketing methods of the Chinese, such as hunger marketing! ā
He stopped, and on the big screen behind him, a structural diagram of graphene was played, allowing everyone to observe the material of graphene, and let the audience digest his words, and the venue was quietly watching.
It's just that there is a trace of loneliness in Pichai's eyes, there are four main preparation methods of graphene, and among these four, graphene that can be used as a flexible display screen can only be obtained from the SIC epitaxial growth method, and this can only grow to 4 inches in size, while his graphene is prepared using CVD chemical vapor deposition method, which can be mass-produced, but the quality is very poor.
Whether it is conductivity, mechanical properties, display performance and graphene grown by SiC epitaxy, they are all very different. Will he say? Of course not.
"Other technologies of Zhiyan are achievable in Google's multiple labs, and we promise! We do it! At the time of release, you can get a hands-on experience. ā
"It's just that if the level is similar, why must you defeat Cree's wisdom eye? Why am I standing here? ā
"Because of alphago!"
Speaking of this great creation, the fans in the audience began to applaud and cheer again!
"In March 2016, our alphago defeated Lee Sedol, the world champion of Go and a professional nine-dan player, with a score of 4:1, I wonder if you remember the news?" He smiled slightly, pulled the corners of his mouth, and pushed his eyes, observing everyone's reactions.
The people in the audience were whispering and talking, and some voices reached his ears because of the quarrel.
"Is AI mature now? Can it be rolled out now? Will there be terrible consequences? ā
"I don't know, it shouldn't be as terrifying as Skynet in Terminator!"
"Artificial intelligence can replace human jobs, and how many people will be unemployed! Oh my God, is Google going to put humanity in the Dark Age? It's horrible! ā
"I don't know anything about this, so I don't have a say, listen to what Pichai has to say."
ā¦ā¦
Pichai watched the voices of the crowd slowly become quieter, and said: "Artificial intelligence is not as terrible as imagined, and we have program deadlocks, and restrictions are made in the underlying code, as long as there is an act that endangers human beings, its program will automatically disintegrate, for security, I don't think it's a reason to worry." ā
"Humans make machines to make them better than humans in some ways, but just because machines are better than humans in some ways doesn't mean that machines have the ability to learn other things or connect different pieces of information to do things that surpass humans, and that's very important. We are ultimately stronger than a machine, because we make and control the products ourselves. ā
"I think people should be more concerned about what it can bring to us as human beings."
"When you fall asleep watching TV, you can help people turn off the TV. When you go out, turn off the air conditioner. When traveling, the route is automatically optimized. When eating, automatically choose the right taste, when shopping, naturally compare prices, and automatically detect whether it is expired when buying food...... In life, they can help us do a lot of things to improve people's quality of life. ā
"This is our Google product ExplorerGlass, starting a new life, the exploration never ends, explorer. Your life assistant. ā
Zhu Cheng shook his head when he saw this, feeling ridiculous, these things have been fully realized in the wisdom eye, he never thought that these are artificial intelligence, in the eyes of professionals, this is just a derivative based on big data computing, Google is embarrassed to show it, just based on their advantages in big data computing.
Artificial intelligence without consciousness can only be drawn to the column of weak artificial intelligence, while real strong artificial intelligence should have autonomous consciousness, even if it is disordered and chaotic consciousness.
But how many professionals were there to watch the event? There aren't few, and how many will ask questions? How many splashes can you make in Google's huge fans?
He is using culture for propaganda when he comes up with the gimmick of artificial intelligence, and of course, he doesn't think that Google has strong artificial intelligence. Anyone who underestimates their opponents usually dies a miserable death.
He is very jealous of alphago, Zhu Cheng's artificial intelligence itself is a weakened version, in the confrontation of alphago, can he take the advantage? He didn't know the bottom in his heart, there was no comparison, and he didn't know how many pounds and taels his morning star had.
Pichai waited for the audience to be quiet, and then loudly announced: "Artificial intelligence will bring countless conveniences to people's lives, so there is our experience desk on the left-hand side, you can experience it, today we will choose to sell 100,000 units of ExplorerGlass, and in a week, we will choose to release 200,000 units of ExplorerGlass." ā
He is full of confidence, because he has more market potential than Zhu Cheng, Google has countless fans around the world, and there is no need to worry about sales, as evidenced by their projectglass launch work.
"The price of the Explorerglass is $4,000, and of course if you pay through RMB, it will be 30,000 yuan." Pichai's words caused fans to cheer, Zhiyan is priced at 35,000 yuan in the Chinese market, but the price in the international market is 6,000 US dollars, and this figure becomes nearly 40,000 yuan. It's clear that Cree is selling at a premium.
In doing so, he also has a purpose, and he intends to drag Cree into the quagmire of a price war! How much money does Cree have? Can you afford such a price war attrition?
The cost of an explorerglass is more than $1,000, and he believes that the price of Cree's products should be around $1,000.
The reason why Cree is very difficult to deal with now is that the equity is clear, and the whole Cree is Zhu Cheng's word, he can do whatever he wants, and no one can stop him. As long as Cree enters the strange circle of capital operation, Pichai is confident and defeats it with his rich experience.
It's a pity that he didn't know that Zhu Cheng's cost was only about 500 yuan, which also included the system usage fees paid to Microsoft. Raw materials have never been the cost of light industrial production, and the biggest cost comes from labor.
But Zhu Cheng's Transformers factory does not require manual labor, and the information is not equal, which causes Pichai's blind confidence.
"Is there a price war?" Zhu Cheng looked at Pichai on the screen and said to himself, "Then come on!" ā
He is confident that even if Google uses the qualification of artificial intelligence to promote, they are still on par in the market, because Zhu Cheng has taken the lead, with sales of 300,000 units and the promotion of Cree Live Broadcast have laid a certain market potential.
