Chapter 029: It's on Fire
At a time when speculation arose about the purpose of Google's top executives' visit to China, Google was very cooperative in answering questions, claiming that it was signing a major $2 billion deal with the startup Ann's Technology to translate user content into multiple languages.
This means that in the future, people from all over the world will no longer have to have a headache for communicating in different languages, and they will be able to understand their favorite information and videos without barriers. This is definitely an explosive news and a huge breakthrough for Internet companies.
As we all know, Google's main language is English, but users come from all over the world, and the barrier of different languages has caused obstacles to the exchange of information, which is a major reason for its popularity as a world-class Internet company.
Therefore, after Google announced this reform in a high-profile manner and introduced the cooperation of instant, multilingual and accurate translation, the European and American media immediately focused their attention, because once it is as the facts say, this is definitely a breaking point, a new breakthrough in Internet social networking, a new era!
Google is also preparing a press release to officially confirm the matter.
Similarly, as a partner of the company, An's Technology has successfully made a name for itself in the name of Google. What does the $2 billion partnership fee mean? Google's net profit for half a quarter! This is only the payment of the protection fee, and the future translation traffic will be counted separately.
It is not uncommon for $2 billion to do a business, and Google has invested a lot of various kinds of non-business, but the $2 billion here is just the money paid to ensure exclusive cooperation, which is enough to be called a large amount of money, and it is not wrong to say that it is a protection fee.
Charge Google protection fees? What can this strange company do?
News and media personnel immediately launched an investigation, and learned that the "intelligent translator" that is hot on the Internet today is from the company! Its online translation is fast, intelligent and low-cost, leading the new trend of online paid translation.
The strength is there, so that the outside world to the value of Ann's technology continues to increase, 2 billion US dollars of exclusive fees, plus the future may generate tens of billions of dollars of cooperation, the company's business in other areas ...... The final disclosure of the data is shocking.
An investment bank analyst in the United States believes that the company's value is between 35 billion and 50 billion US dollars, and with the expansion of business, Europe, America and Asia are blooming everywhere, and will continue to rise in the future, and it is expected to reach 80 billion to 100 billion US dollars after dominating the world translation market.
And it's just a company that's been around for less than two months.
The heat on the Internet at home and abroad immediately detonated.
The New York Times published a news report: "The market for online translation has been detonated, and Chinese Internet companies have exploded into amazing new stars!" ”
The Wall Street Journal wrote: "Another major investment from Google, the success of online translations is already predictable compared to the previous ones. ”
Foreign media and investment bank analysts are all enthusiastic, and domestic media can't miss the opportunity to tout, "Sina" called it: "Another miracle of China's Internet rise, with a valuation of up to 100 billion US dollars, and another Internet giant will be added in the future!" ”
NetEase commented: "Following the acceleration of the globalization of the economy and exchanges, instant translation will truly eliminate the language barrier and make the earth a 'global village'!" ”
At major science and technology forums, An's Technology and Anyang are also swiping the screen.
"I thought that this black technology translation company was a bit of a trick, but I didn't expect the strength to burst, and I got Google in a few clicks, and I also charged protection fees!"
"I didn't expect more upstairs, accurate and instant translation means subverting the tradition, cleaning the market, it is Chiguoguo's technology crushing, of course it is valuable!"
"The protection fee is beautiful!"
After all, it is too shocking, in less than two months, the outside world is optimistically estimated at 100 billion US dollars, which is not such a miracle in either Ali or the giants of Pain News. Which of them didn't come out step by step and accumulate little by little? Which is like now, direct nuclear explosion!
Netizens have exerted their magical powers and dug up a lot of insider information, such as the founder of this miracle company, An Yang, who is only 26 years old, and the Internet tycoons who are still working hard to start a business at his age, but he has already sat on a fortune of tens of billions of dollars, becoming the youngest richest person in China.
According to this trend, it is not too difficult to become the richest man in China in the future! Before the age of thirty, or after the age of thirty? The discussion on the Internet has also triggered more people who originally didn't care much about translation software, but have paid attention to it because of the news, and continue to download the experience.
After the company helped Google to hype, the official website ushered in a peak of visits, thanks to the artificial intelligence that manages the server, and the previous investment in the computer room is also bold enough, otherwise it really can't withstand the rising number of visits and downloads, and the IP comes from all over the world.
After experiencing it, almost 99% of people were shocked by its power, it was so easy to use! Also quite accurately, it takes care of some of the buzzwords, slang, etc. of today's web; After being translated into a foreign language, it is still down-to-earth, which does not mean that there will be no distance in Internet communication in the future?
The internet craze has rolled up, and both An Yang and his company are on fire.
The most obvious impact is also Google. Its stock price has risen for several consecutive days, up 8%, undoubtedly highlighting investors' confidence in the addition of online translation to social apps. The results did not disappoint, and after the cooperation began, the user experience soared.
An Yang, who is also in the heated discussion from all walks of life, casually opened a certification micro. Bo, a few days later, I saw that there were more than 2 million fans, and I really experienced the happiness of becoming an Internet celebrity in an instant. After thinking about it, I also posted a blog post: There will be bigger surprises next.
In a short period of time, he received thousands of likes, thousands of replies, and the number of fans continued to increase, making An Yang a little fluttering after becoming famous. This made him pay more attention to the translator in the company's research and development, so that it would be more shocking when it was released in the future.
He went to the R&D department to check the progress of the translator.
It is not difficult to use the translator online, but under the mentality of Anyang pursuing better, it has become a translator and a telephone all-in-one machine, and it has high requirements in terms of structural appearance and battery life.
The 5.5-inch large-screen camera he is holding in his hand is the translator.
"The latest octa-core processor, 4G memory, 256G body storage, and at least three days of battery life in energy-saving mode," said the head of the R&D department. ”
"In terms of main functions, it provides offline access to 40 languages, real-time processing of audio, video, and text, and uses two pairs of headphones to make language communication no longer a problem."
Coupled with intelligent matching bandwidth and data compression technology, it is very easy to talk between different languages.
An Yang and Chen Mengmei did the test, he spoke Chinese, Chen Mengmei asked for voice output in English; Chen Mengmei's English was then exported to Cantonese to An Yang.
"Cantonese is good." An Yang took off the headphones and was satisfied: "It has almost met the requirements, and there are several more appearance colors, and the local tyrant has to have it." ”
"We've got five color schemes, three look schemes for the headphones." Tech leaders are ready to deal with discerning bosses.
"Yes, that's good!" Anyan doesn't have to be picky.
After the experience, she left with Chen Mengmei and began to discuss the issue of the press conference, and she made arrangements: "It is expected to be held in a month." ”
"Let our partners do us a favor and invite the media at home and abroad to come and strengthen their reputation," Anyan said. ”
"Nowadays, even if there is no one to help, there will be a lot of media interested in our company." Chen Mengmei said, turning out a list: "Invitation list." ”
"Okay." An Yang glanced at the list a few times and looked up: "After Google's funds arrive, it will continue to be used to expand the company's team and strengthen the construction of foreign branches." ”
"No problem." Chen Mengmei is motivated.
"Go get busy, vice president." Anyan told her that he had given her the responsibilities that belonged to the president.
When the time is right, he will step down.
Managers are Anyang's lifelong profession, so the 2 billion funds are not all given to the company, because of the previous investment of 200 million US dollars, AY Group accounted for 70% of the shares of An's Technology, which means that 1.4 billion US dollars will be the foreign company, which is just to meet the needs of intelligence.
It is in the process of finding a suitable site to build a base for managers.
