It was another bright morning, and Jax gave his wife a good morning kiss before getting up to prepare breakfast.

Casually tossed two pieces of bread into the bread maker, took out a large carton of milk from the refrigerator, and poured it into two cups.

Then he picked up the pan. "Smack" cracked an egg, and fried eggs were Jax's wife's favorite.

After a simple breakfast, a small sticker was attached to the refrigerator, and Jax went out. As the head of the technical department of Google Now, even in Redmond, he is definitely an elite.

Walking into the headquarters on time, most of the employees under the technical department have already started to work, and there is a lot of work at Google headquarters.

"Head, the marketing department said that there is an email, and you need to judge it."

"Let them send it to my mailbox and I'll dispose of it in the morning" Of course, as one of the technical leads, Jax often deals with some things sent by outsiders.

However, since the marketing department asked Jax to judge the value, it means that someone has already read it, and most of such emails are still valuable, so Jax is also looking forward to the content of the email.

Walking into the office and casually hanging his coat on the shelf in the doorway, Jax sat in his place.

The email from the marketing department has been forwarded to his mailbox, and since he is a little curious, Jax plans to deal with this email first.

The attachments in the email are not small, about more than 200 trillion, and I simply browsed the text messages.

"Companion?" Looking at the name of the app, Jax shrugged noncommittally.

It's an exaggeration, according to the text, this is obviously a priceless software, and no one should use the mailbox to send such a thing.

After a rough look at the contact information, the address is even more written China, China? Are there any better programmers out there?

Seeing this, Jax's expectations for the software have dropped a lot, after all, the description of the text message is too exaggerated.

Randomly opened a virtual machine, and Jax installed the software.

There was silence, and the air in the office seemed to freeze, and only Jax's mouse could be heard clicking.

Jax looked at the Q version of the small burial bouncing around on the screen and picked up the microphone next to him

"Google Headquarters"

"Google's headquarters are located in Mountain View, California, USA, on about 26 acres, and if you want to go on a tour, here are some pictures of Google's headquarters, along with directions to Google's headquarters." The Q version opened several web pages with pictures of Google's headquarters, as well as travel routes and international flight information.

After trying out other features, Jax's office fell silent. Powerful fuzzy search capabilities, error-free speech recognition, and a huge knowledge base.

Jax can say that even NOW is worthless compared to the app in front of him.

Lighting a cigarette, Jax leaned back in his chair. As the technical director of now, such software is almost devastating for him, and if the upper echelons of the company know about it, he may even be fired, and the now he makes is not comparable to this.

In fact, what he found even more terrifying was not the aspect of being a voice assistant, but its huge language library, and the English he just spoke was not pure American English, but English with an Irish style.

Even so, the 'companion' still easily understood what he meant, and quickly found the desired result.

Jax didn't try any other language, and according to the note, it could recognize 40 percent of the world's languages, 100 percent of the dominant languages, and most dialects.

That's a scary number. You must know that there are few mainstream languages after all, except for African and some minority languages, there are no more than a dozen mainstream languages in the world, and dialects can be said to be innumerable.

The difficulty of language communication is arguably the most difficult problem of economic globalization, and almost all Internet companies know that whoever masters the next generation of translation software will have the most powerful weapon.

To give you a simple example, in the United States, even translating is a lucrative job. No major international company can leave translation, and not only that, but translation is a must when it comes to exporting.

This software will not only have a huge impact on current Internet companies, but even the translation industry will be devastated.

Jax didn't think about it that much, and for him a behemoth like Google was enough to stop most people from protesting.

The cigarette ran out quickly, he didn't light the next one, and it was an unspoken rule in many companies that programmers could smoke.

After looking at the contact information at the end of the email again and checking the other party's information on Google, Jax stood up.

"Alia, I sent you a document, remember to print it out, I'll use it later at the headquarters."

Jax put on his coat, opened the door to his office, and looked up at his watch

"In addition, I would like to inform the employees of the technical department that at three o'clock in the afternoon, there will be a meeting in the conference room, and everyone must be present."

Jax walked over to the water dispenser, poured a glass of water and rinsed her mouth briefly, except for the smell of smoke in her mouth, Arya had already printed the document and sent it over.

Although this will be a big blow to their NOW project, as the head of Google, he has his own responsibilities.

At 10:15, Jax showed up on time in the headquarters conference room, which was much larger than the conference room of his department.

"Jax, did you rush to gather the company's main leaders because there was a breakthrough in the NOW project? That's good news. ”

The first person to walk in and greet Jax was Sundar, the CEO of Google's headquarters, who is also a software engineer and has a good impression of the technology department.

Jax shrugged, good news or bad news, it will have to depend on this meeting.

"Good morning, Jax. I really can't wait to hear good news from you. ”

This is greeted by Ruth Porat, Google's chief financial officer, this is a big man, and the first sister on Wall Street is talking about her.

In a short time, the heads and brains of Google's headquarters gathered in this conference room, and if any terrorist could blow up this conference room, Google would definitely be in chaos.

"What I'm going to tell you about next, I'm afraid it's not good news. Here's an email I received this morning. ”

Jax took a deep breath and began to introduce the app, called Companion.

There was silence in the conference room, and all the people who could sit here were business elites, and their keen business sense was their most basic quality.

Jax's introduction was not long, and most of the features of the software were explained clearly in about half an hour.

"Could these really be technologies that can be implemented today?" Sundar was almost incredulous.

This software covers many divisions of Google's business, Google Translate, Google Now, Google Search are almost all in it.

"What I want to know now is what the makers of this software think. Which company did he send to seek cooperation? As the CFO, Ruth thinks more about the business side of things.

Since there is no doubt about the advancement of this software, the first consideration should be the purpose of the owner of this software and the commercial value of this software.

"I don't know, but this was sent to the company's mailbox this morning. However, judging from the message at the end, this is a Chinese company, and I checked the relevant information. ”

"This company recently launched an AR game that surpasses what our AR department can do with its powerful features and interactivity."

Jax was glad he had done some homework before he came, but it was clearly not satisfactory to Ruth.

"Specifically? I need detailed information about the company, revenue capacity, company size, and their company culture. Ruth frowned, such a simple message would be of no use to her, but Jax was the head of technology after all, and she didn't have any more demands.

Fortunately, Google, as the world's largest search engine, has a huge database that is updated almost all the time, even if it has withdrawn from China, but the relevant information collection has not been completely canceled.

The relevant information on the Dream Century network soon appeared on Ruth's desk.

It has only been more than a month since its establishment, and the first product has caused hot sales, and the technical crack is underway, but Google's AR department has not made the slightest progress.

This information is enough for Ruth, who has her own judgment as the highest-paid CFO on Wall Street.

"Send someone to China immediately to negotiate the acquisition of the company's business, and if there is no progress in two days, you can choose to poach it. Charge high prices to their technical departments and poach people at all costs. ”

As a large international company, cooperation is never the first choice for small companies, and shopping malls are often more fierce than the battlefield.

In fact, Ruth also has a plan in her heart, poaching and acquisition, at most there is only one week, and if there is no progress after a week, then she will go back to discuss cooperation.

No one who can start a company is a fool, acquisition and poaching are just means, and winning this epoch-making software is the goal.

As for Li Qing, he didn't expect that one of his emails would attract the attention of Google's headquarters.

His original purpose was just to find a partner in the world, and his original purpose of opening a company was not to make a lot of money and promote the development of science and technology.

The development of AR technology will bring breakthroughs to many technologies such as biotechnology and materials technology.

Just like the Third Scientific Revolution, information technology will lead to huge breakthroughs along with biotechnology.

The breakthrough of AR technology will make the first thing to make the observation ability to be greatly improved, augmented reality, no matter what aspect will cause technological innovation, technology is never established alone, it is often a tree.
