Chapter 258: The Gap with Penguins
"Bicycle foundry?"
Chen Xiaole was a little confused: "I said Lao Zhou, what kind of bicycle are you doing, can this thing make money?" ”
Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows: "Why can't you make money, you can definitely make money if you have more orders." ”
"The problem is that you don't make money by doing an Internet company well, who is still a factory these days, you see that there are so many factories that have closed down on the market." Chen Xiaole knew that Chalang Company was opened by Zhou Yan, so he couldn't quite understand why Zhou Yan didn't let a good technology company run it, and turned to do bicycle OEM.
He thought of a possibility.
"I said Lao Zhou, you don't want our 101 team project to be easier, so bear some costs."
Chen Xiaole leaned over and whispered uncertainly, "There's no need." ”
He was even wondering if Zhou Yan was not optimistic about this bicycle project and wanted to give him a cover.
"Why can't you think the other way around, in case this project explodes, I will open a factory and make money at both ends." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
He patted Chen Xiaole on the shoulder: "This is a project that I personally check, how can I not be optimistic, I just think this place is profitable." ”
"Okay." Chen Xiaole nodded: "I'll do this bicycle project well, and I won't let you lose money when the time comes." ”
Zhou Yan smiled, Xiaole was still not very confident, he smiled: "Okay, don't think so much, take advantage of the remaining month to quickly open the plate a little bigger, it is best that all major universities in Hongcheng can contact it, sometimes the game is so realistic, if you develop well, others will be optimistic, and talk with data." ”
"That's fine." Chen Xiaole knew that Zhou Yan would not change easily if he made up his mind, and he no longer persuaded him, although he was still not very optimistic about driving a bicycle factory, after all, what could be done by making bicycles.
The competition is imminent, and the time is tight, and the six entrepreneurial teams are not only engaged in their own projects, but also receive professional training arranged by the school, including the production of English version of the plan, roadshow documents, etc., which can be said to be in full swing to carry out projects.
Zhou Yan went to see the progress of the project of the remaining three groups, Liao Zihang has now changed his thinking, from the restaurant drink to the same development idea as Mixue, but at this time, Mixue is more looking for franchisees to cooperate, and Zhou Yan's suggestion to Liao Zihang is to join the later generations of Mixue has developed mature operation ideas, this project can be said to be as long as the plan is well written, basically you can get an award, and the rest is the icing on the cake in the data.
Zhou Yan went to see the project of Fan Zheyuan's leading group again, it can't be said that there is novelty, decent, e-commerce direction, at this time there is already the posture of an e-commerce leader, and Jingdong is slightly inferior.
Zhou Yan's suggestion to Fan Zheyuan is to imitate Jingdong, and learned that he has set up a logistics team, mainly to do the direction of home appliances in the city, and the form of combining physical and online, but Zhou Yan also knows how serious the rebates in the home appliance city are, and it is not very easy to deduct the cost from it.
Fan Zheyuan wears glasses, but these days the whole person has also lost a lot of weight, obviously for this project to run up and down, Zhou Yan immediately arranged for him to contact Zhang Long after learning about the progress of the project.
At that time, in order to earn traffic in the Double Eleven, Zhang Long also developed an e-commerce website, which has a small scale, and there are hundreds of thousands of orders a day, although it is not as good as Taobao, but one of the conditions for Ali to get the copyright of Double 11 is to provide a drainage entrance for this e-commerce website called Fun Shopping, so the recent development is very good.
Originally, the distribution service was arranged for old express companies such as Yuantong and Zhongtong, and now part of Hongcheng's business is also connected with Fan Zheyuan's team, which is equivalent to directly giving him a long-term order for the development of the development, Fan Zheyuan was surprised that Zhou Yan was the founder of the wave on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also expressed his gratitude to Zhou Yan for his help.
After all, he really didn't expect to receive assistance other than money and studies after joining the innovation class.
Li Qian's group project is also the same as the previous Hongda Entrepreneurship Competition project, but what she does is the direction of intelligent management of campus vehicles, Zhou Yan is not very familiar with this aspect, so he can't give any suggestions, in fact, to put it bluntly, whether Li Qian can lead the team out of the line is a problem, after all, the score of the Hongda Entrepreneurship Competition at that time was not very impressive, on the one hand, the project is not very new, it belongs to the old set of relationships, unless she can change the project, otherwise it is really a bit hanging.
Li Qian's progress is relatively good, the plan has been written, and even the research data is very good, but sometimes there are too many rules and nothing eye-catching, even if the progress is completed, it is insignificant, Zhou Yan asked Li Qian's opinion at the time, whether to change the project, but if this senior sister insists, Zhou Yan will let it develop.
After a general understanding of the progress of the six groups of the innovation and technology class, Zhou Yan didn't care about this aspect anymore.
Back in the office, Zhou Yan picked up the algorithm book and read it again.
For this kind of systematic thing, Zhou Yan reads very quickly, and at the same time, he will open the python software on the computer to learn it in practice.
I don't know how long I watched it, but there was a knock at the door.
"Enter."
Zhang Long walked in and saw Zhou Yan holding a code book and operating the computer.
Zhang Long was a little surprised: "What's the situation?" ”
"After that, I considered changing majors to computer science." Zhou Yan saw that it was Zhang Long and said with a smile.
Zhang Long was even more surprised, but he still said with a smile: "Wise choice." ”
Programmers are really popular these days, and Zhang Long, as a senior engineer and the boss is also in the direction of computer science, he also has more communication languages, so he naturally agrees with Zhou Yan's decision.
"Which direction are you going to take? Maybe I can give you some advice. Zhang Long said with a smile.
Zhou Yan's heart moved, and he asked Zhang Long, "What are the more popular directions now?" ”
"Cloud computing is more popular now, and there is the Internet of Things, but I know Zhou Yan You attach great importance to big data, originally I didn't really respect big data, but the big data algorithm of the app is very good, so I changed my opinion, I thought it was Zhou Wan who came up with it, but I didn't expect it to be Zhou Yan, I was also surprised for a long time after asking Zhou Wan." Zhang Long said with a smile.
Although Zhang Long's team is now responsible for the operation, Zhou Wan is doing the early development work, and she also followed Zhou Yan's suggestions and ideas, vigorously developed big data algorithms, and took the intelligent recommendation model.
Zhou Yan smiled and nodded: "Big data is indeed very important, but I don't really want to study this aspect, are there any other directions?" ”
"There is also an artificial intelligence, which is also a hot spot in current research, if you are interested in Zhou Yan, you can consider this direction." Zhang Long said with a smile.
Zhou Yanxin finally got to the point, he touched his chin, "What is the general research on artificial intelligence?" ”
Zhang Long also knows a lot, he said directly: "Artificial intelligence can be regarded as a big category, such as voice recognition, image recognition, automatic driving, intelligent question answering and the like. ”
Zhou Yan: "I'm more interested in intelligent Q&A, are there any outstanding products in this area?" ”
Zhang Long saw that Zhou Yan was really interested, so he said patiently: "IBM Watson, this is more famous, is an intelligent question answering system based on natural language processing and machine learning developed by IBM, if you want to study this direction, you can refer to this example." ”
"Watson..."Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, he remembered watching a quiz called "Edge of Danger", and it seemed that this software appeared.
"How's that, which direction are you going to consider?" Zhang Long asked with a smile.
Zhou Yan smiled: "I feel that I am still more inclined to intelligent Q&A." ”
"It's good that it's decided." Zhang Long also said with some envy: "If I were your age, maybe I would also consider the direction of artificial intelligence, and now it will be almost the same as gnawing the old one." ”
Zhou Yan didn't say anything, people in every era have a way of living in each era, Zhang Long's era, instant messaging was the mainstream of research, as well as EMS, search engines, portals, at that time, the domestic Internet was just budding, and it was really gold everywhere.
Even Zhou Yan was a little envious of that era, basically those who studied computers at that time ate the dividends of domestic Internet development.
Brother Xiao Ma is just one of the very good examples, and there are many, many examples including Zhou Hong and Zhang Long.
And after being reborn in this life, Zhou Yan also wants to make college life more exciting.
"Brother Zhang, I still have a question."
Zhou Yan looked at Zhang Long at this time and said: "Is it possible to implement an intelligent dialogue scenario, you can enter some requirements about programming, and then this scene will automatically generate relevant code for you?" ”
When Zhang Long heard Zhou Yan's words, he fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he said to Zhou Yan: "This idea is very good, and it is also a direction for the realization of artificial intelligence." ”
"But if there is such a product that can identify programming needs, maybe many people who rely on programming for a living will lose their jobs." Zhang Long said with a smile.
"Is there any hope that the current technical conditions will be realized?" Zhou Yan asked.
Zhang Long smiled and shook his head: "Don't think like this, we are at most innovating in programming methods and software, achieving breakthroughs in technology, what technical conditions are virtual, it is nothing more than how much cost it takes to study this algorithm, if you really want to invest in it, you can always study something, just like the current image recognition, if you had this idea ten years ago, you really have to spend energy to do it, you can also do it, someone thought of it, and then did it, the Internet is sometimes very simple." ”
"You look at the sweep project, isn't it a very typical example, this technology is not difficult, it is to combine QR code and mobile phone recognition technology, but no one thought that you would occupy this patent cake."
Zhou Yan nodded.
Zhang Long can say that the seniors and elders of the Internet, if he says that there is no problem, then there is really no problem, it is nothing more than spending some money and energy, thinking about it like this, Zhou Yan suddenly felt a lot more enlightened.
"In fact, you can find some foreign papers, foreign research in artificial intelligence is actually ahead of our domestic, maybe you can find some ideas." Zhang Long said.
"Yes."
At the end of the topic, Zhang Long said with a smile: "Originally, I came to report work, but now it has become a small talk." ”
Zhou Yan shook his head: "How is the situation on WeChat?" ”
"Penguin found that Kuaiyong was promoting WeChat, and had unilaterally revoked all the promotion of Kuaiyong." Zhang Long said rather casually.
It is conceivable that Zhang Long does not care very much about this, after all, the volume of the fast use app is there, unless the penguin can make a mobile phone application market like the fast use app, otherwise it can only watch the fast use snowball get bigger and bigger, with the current traffic of fast use, the suspension of the promotion of fast use obviously has little impact.
"It's finally a shot." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"Not really."
Zhang Long shrugged his shoulders: "The reflex arc is long enough." ”
He took a sip of water and continued: "Don't worry about this, but Pony talked to me on the phone, he already knows that Weichat Technology is our handiwork, and there will be no less follow-up targets, and we must also be prepared for lawsuits." ”
"Sue us for plagiarism?" Zhou Yan chuckled.
"Definitely, although the underlying architecture is different, QQ can make a fuss about the content."
Zhang Long smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "Penguins have fought many similar lawsuits over the years, but they are all defendants, and this time it is a change for us to be the defendants." ”
"Just sue, it's not his Nanshan Pizza Hut who has the final say in Hongcheng." Zhou Yan said indifferently.
It's all instant messaging, and there must be similarities, but when Zhou Yan asked Zhou Wan to develop WeChat, some problems had been avoided as much as possible, and if you really want to start a lawsuit, the penguins may not be able to take advantage.
"The lawsuit is also a small problem, almost to the extent that QQ computer butler and 360 are, maybe you don't need to hire a lawyer, 360 is estimated to have found it for us." Zhang Long said with a smile.
If you really want to talk about the hatred value, the hatred of 360 and the penguins can be said to be directly full, the two companies have been in love with each other this month, and the lawsuits have been fought several times, to say that Zhou Hong wants to get rid of the software from the bottom, QQ can be ranked first, and Baidu can only rank second.
Zhang Long: "What I'm more worried about is that Pony may take this opportunity to completely end the game, shift the focus to the mobile phone terminal, and do real mobile QQ, instead of the web shell version, and then the competition will be fierce." ”
"There's no way to avoid this." Zhou Yan shrugged, and he asked again, "How many users do we have now?" ”
】
"There are about 80 million users." Zhang Long said.
"Not bad."
Zhou Yan nodded, more satisfied, and asked again: "Do QQ mobile phone users know how many?" ”
"According to October data, almost two hundred million." Zhang Long said with a smile.
Zhou Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth: "It can't be compared." ”
"It's already possible, QQ is a mobile phone and a web side of the connection, it's normal to have such data, you must know that we have only been online for about half a month, and it is already very good to have 80 million data." Zhang Long said.
"It's still a bit of a gap." Zhou Yan smiled and shook his head.
