Chapter 19: Reality Show
It was late at night, Liu Weiping was sitting in the office and had not left, and the voice-controlled satellite had been released, and there was no turning back. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he opened the document submitted by the development department, and changed the name with a pencil under the title "Jufang voice control system", "Quanzhi voice control system", he thought about it and added a note: In the future, the Quanzhi voice control system will not only provide the next generation of smart phones, but also embed smart home appliances and even the Internet of Things, omnipresent, omnipotent, and all-round service.
He put down the document and closed his eyes, and the appearance of Liu Siquan coming out of the delivery room twelve years ago reappeared. After so many years, many colleagues and friends helped him to recruit objects, and his parents in his hometown often called to ask about it, Liu Weiping was always noncommittal, he couldn't forget Lin Shuangmian, and he had buried this past deep in his heart.
quarreled with Lin Shuangmian, always bowed his head and admitted his mistakes, this time, the time of the quarrel was measured in years, as he grew older, Liu Weiping had already lost his original impulse, and would rather treat it as a memory than turn it over again. Seeing that his former classmates were full of children and daughters, when he was alone, Liu Weiping would also be lonely, at this time, he couldn't help but think of Liu Siquan, after the age of forty, this feeling gradually became stronger.
Last year, since Jufang Technology handed over profits to Jiaotong University, the school took care of Liu Weiping significantly, and in previous years, it was never his turn to participate in international exchange conferences on behalf of the School of Communication.
In the winter, CERN initiated an Internet conference in Geneva, when the Internet industry was in full swing around the world, CERN wanted to remind the world that they gave birth to the first Internet and browsers, not the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the meeting invited Shanghai Jiaotong University to send representatives to participate, and the quota was allocated to the School of Communications, and the team leaders unanimously decided to send Liu Weiping to participate in the meeting.
When Liu Weiping arrived in Geneva, he found that the conference was mainly to discuss the countermeasures for the depletion of Internet IP resources in the future, and invited thousands of industry leaders, experts and scholars from all over the world to attend the conference.
The experts at the meeting did not spend much time on the meeting, and when the meeting was adjourned, many people went to ski in the Lake Geneva ski area, and some people simply stopped the meeting in order to save money, and took a bus across the border to the Chamenix ski resort in France.
Liu Weiping didn't know anything about skiing, he was bored living in a hotel, so he looked through the list of participants, flipped through it, and a familiar name jumped out, it was Ishida Sogo, and Professor Ishida also came to the meeting. Liu Weiping was excited, he called and asked the registration office of the conference, the organizing committee of the conference arranged the Asian delegates together, and Ishida Sogo was staying in a hotel with him.
Liu Weiping went downstairs, went to the registration office and asked Ishida Sogo's room number and went to knock on the door, the door opened, Ishida Sogo happened to be there, he didn't know how to ski, he was doing nothing in the room, and he was very happy to see his student many years ago.
The two chatted until late at night, Liu Weiping inevitably asked Ishida about Lin Shuangmian, it turned out that after Liu Weiping returned to China, Lin Shuangmian asked Ishida about his whereabouts, Ishida only knew that Liu Weiping had returned to China urgently, and he didn't know anything else, "What about the note I left for her?" Liu Weiping interjected and asked.
"What? Did you leave her a message? How did I not know? ”
"I handed it over to the embassy to our head of delegation, Wang Pengfei."
"Then it's not clear, it doesn't look like it was transferred to Lin Shuangmian's hand, she was very anxious at the time, and asked for your contact information in many ways, and even found the phone number of Shanghai Jiaotong University, but she didn't contact you."
"And then?" Liu Weiping asked anxiously.
"Later, you should think about it, she and Assanzi went to Puerto Rico, I heard my wife say that they got married, and then they also broke off contact, last year, I traveled in Cornell, I didn't expect to meet Lin Shuangmian."
"How is she?"
"Hey, it's really tragic, Assanzi has committed suicide for several years, it is said that the Americans turned off the Arecivo telescope, he couldn't stand it, and committed suicide with the telescope's radar transmitter, Lin Shuangmian can only live alone." Ishida only shook his head when he said, "I have her contact information, do you want to call her, your business, in Chinese, is to make people, after so many years, you should also apologize to her." ”
Liu Weiping hesitated, but still left Lin Shuangmian's contact information. After returning to China, Liu Weiping did not contact Lin Shuangmian, and he did not plan to contact Lin Shuangmian again, all he thought of was Liu Siquan.
When Liu Weiping saw the seti@home come out, he immediately thought of the program he wrote according to Ishida Sogo's ideas, since Zhao Yonggang did not agree to allocate additional resources to him, it is better to use the voice control system to persuade him, Liu Weiping did not see the wrong direction this time, the future mobile phone computing power must be stronger than the computer, let the mobile phone analyze the voice while helping him calculate the decoding program of the pulse wave, this road will definitely be able to go to the end. Morgan today? Stanley's question was unexpected, but Liu Weiping reacted quickly and coped with it safely.
Seeing the name given to the voice recognition system by the development department, Liu Weiping thought of using this system to commemorate Liu Siquan, and immediately changed the name to Quanzhi, he not only wanted to change the name, but he also secretly decided to choose a prototype that should be the same as Liu Siquan's voice according to his imagination, if one day in the future, this Quanzhi voice control system is smart enough, it will be the incarnation of his daughter Liu Siquan in the digital world.
Liu Weiping was in a cranky mood, he seemed to see his daughter talking to himself on the computer screen, at this time, the mobile phone on the table vibrated non-stop, and he picked up several calls from his hometown.
It's so late, my father doesn't know how to use the phone at all, who should it be, Liu Weiping dialed back, it was Liu Weijun, a childhood playmate in the village, "Weiping, I don't answer many calls from you, your mother is going to die in a hurry, your father is no good, you should come back quickly." ”
Liu Weiping suddenly remembered that he hadn't been in contact with his hometown for more than a month, so why couldn't his father's body say no. Liu Weiping hurriedly went downstairs, and the driver Xiao Zhang was still waiting for him in the car, "Don't go home, go directly to Xinyang, Henan, and go back to your hometown, my father can't do it." Xiao Zhang was going to go home to rest after sending Mr. Liu, but now he had no choice but to go out of the city and drive to Henan at high speed.
Liu Weiping wanted to get in the car and doze off, he was so confused that he couldn't sleep, he simply changed Xiao Zhang to drive, and the two of them took turns to drive, and rushed to Liu's store at noon the next day.
Liu Chunyang was lying on the bed at home, his face was purple, a hanging needle was inserted in his hand, hanging on a bamboo pole and hanging water, Fu Qin sat on the side and kept wiping Liu Chunyang with a hot towel.
"Daddy!" Liu Weiping pounced, Fu Qin saw that his son was back, tears fell, Liu Weiping couldn't care about Fu Qin, he went up and touched Liu Chunyang's forehead. "Mother, why don't you send it to the hospital?" Liu Weiping turned around and asked.
"Stubborn temper, unwilling to go to the hospital, I still said all the good things to him before asking the village doctor to hang a bottle of water for him." Fu Qin sighed after speaking, Liu Weiping heard a sound in Liu Chunyang's throat, Fu Qin reached over and dug out a mouthful of thick phlegm, "I heard the doctor say that it was acute pneumonia, I'm afraid I can't save it even if I hang the water, how good am I!" Fu Qin cried again.
Liu Chunyang took a breath of phlegm and calmed down a little, "Son, come here." As soon as he spoke, his breathing began to rapid. Dad, you rest, don't talk, beware of being tired. Liu Weiping couldn't bear it.
"Son, your father knows that he can't pass this level, your father is eighty-two, and it's enough." Liu Chunyang gasped for breath, Liu Weiping anxiously adjusted the needle adjuster, "You don't have to bother, the king of Hades has already come to invite me, I asked him to wait, I have something to say to you." ”
Liu Chunyang's voice became smaller and smaller, Liu Weiping understood in his heart that his father was dying, and it was estimated that he would be able to speak, so he hurriedly put his ears on it, "Son, my father has never done anything bad in his life, but he can't let go of one thing, and my father is sorry for that Lin Sen for you." ”
Liu Chunyang gasped again, "Come, give me a pillow." Liu Weiping took the pillow in Fu Qin's hand and put Liu Chunyang's head higher, Liu Chunyang was a little smoother, and he spoke a little more relaxed, "It's more than forty years ago, you were born and just weaned, and you ate all the batter, and the natural disaster was very bad that year, the commune levied grain, and there was nothing to eat at home, Lin Sen came to eat only but couldn't earn work, my mother and I were hungry, Lin Sen was the same, we ate everything we could eat, and the grass roots, but you can't, you can't eat these things, Seeing that both of your eyes are bulging out, my father and mother are distressed, if you continue like this, you will not live. Dad did something against his will, ran to the commune and sued Lin Sen, saying that he would not repent when he came to die, and he was still scolding him behind his back, but he was locked up in the cowshed by the commune, and I heard that he starved to death. can save your life, dad doesn't regret it, dad is leaving now, feel more comfortable when you say it, and you don't have to worry about leaving. ”
"Dad, didn't you say that Lin Sen died of illness?" I actually gave birth to a daughter with Lin Shuangmian, is it retribution? Liu Weiping would rather say that his father was talking nonsense with a fever, but Liu Chunyang didn't answer his words, his eyelids slowly drooped, and Fu Qin went up and shook Liu Chunyang desperately, "Daddy, don't fall asleep, don't leave our mother and son!" No matter how she howled, Liu Chunyang just couldn't wake up, and Liu Weiping was also on the side of the bed.
After taking care of the aftermath, Liu Weiping asked Fu Qin, "Mother, is what Dad said before he died true?" Fu Qin didn't speak, just nodded. Liu Weiping was even more determined in his idea that he would never contact Lin Shuangmian again in this life, he and Xiao Zhang returned to Shanghai and devoted themselves to developing the voice control system of the whole service.
As soon as the spring of 2000 ended, the Nasdaq index in the United States was already showing weakness, Cisco's price-earnings ratio reached three digits, the total market value reached $600 billion, the loss-making Amazon market value exceeded all physical bookstores, and the Nasdaq index rushed to more than 5,000 points and could no longer attack, so it turned around and slid down.
The Shanghai Stock Exchange Index is still accelerating its climbing, no one sees the signal of danger on the other side of the ocean, and the 100-yuan large stock Jufang Technology has stimulated the enthusiasm of shareholders, Zhao Yonggang has generously donated to Liu Weiping's voice control system, and constantly pledged the company's shares, and the funds from it continue to flow into Liu Weiping's project team, Liu Weiping is recruiting new people every day to expand the office, and in the summer, there is a team of more than 1,000 people in the development of the voice control system.
After all, the signal of the United States is transmitted, the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2200 points after repeated scramble can not stop the fierce attack of the bears, the defeat is retreating, large and small securities newspapers and financial websites are considered to be a pullback, when Jufang Technology fell below 100 yuan, Zhao Yonggang issued an announcement on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, Jufang executives will increase their holdings of stocks, the result is to no avail, Jufang Technology is still falling endlessly.
Zhao Yonggang couldn't sit still, he ran to Liu Weiping's office, "Mr. Liu, you give me a clue, when will the voice control system be launched." ”
"Mr. Zhao, don't rush so hard, more than 1,000 people have already joined in, and in three months, there will be a phased result." Liu Weiping was not flustered.
"Teacher, you also know the current market situation, you must not shake me." Zhao Yonggang is still not at ease.
"Hahaha, only you shake the teacher, there are teachers who shake the students, don't worry, I'll take you around." Liu Weiping took Zhao Yonggang into the demonstration hall of the development department. A beautiful woman in a floor-length skirt greeted her, "Mr. Zhao is good, Mr. Liu is good." ”
"What is this?" Zhao Yonggang's gaze couldn't help but look at the beauty for a few more seconds, "My name is Wu Xiaoyun, and I am the voice prototype of the full servant." ”
"How is Xiao Wu's voice? It's still attractive to Mr. Zhao, right? Liu Weiping quipped on the side, "Two bosses, let me show you the full service." ”
"Power on." Wu Xiaoyun said softly to the screen, and the screen immediately lit up, "May I have anything to help you?" The speakers on both sides sounded exactly the same voice as Wu Xiaoyun.
