Heron Island.

The sky was gray and drizzling.

Wu Xin, the big boss of Meitu, was restless in the office, and his mood was like the weather outside, cloudy and cold.

"Tick Bell Bell~"

The phone rang suddenly!

"Hey, what's the matter?"

Wu Xin said in a deep voice, in the past year, the company's market share has fallen by seventy, and the remaining wave of old users, after the membership expires, will they stay in Meitu?

Or, go straight into the arms of Moss Ai.

He didn't dare to think about it, and every time he thought about it, he had a headache.

What a future technology, the hell, don't give a chance at all, don't be so excessive!

"Mr. Wu, our own AI painting robot has finally been made, you can come to the conference room on the second floor."

The technical leader of the artificial intelligence team said excitedly on the phone.

"I'll be there shortly."

Wu Xin put down this sentence and hurriedly walked to the elevator entrance, in order to fight against future technology, Meitu spent a lot of money to set up a research group to develop artificial intelligence painting software.

Spring went to autumn, and in nine months, I finally saw results.

In the elevator, he exhaled a deep breath, hoping to get a surprise.

Even if it is only half of Moss's level, he is confident that he will cooperate with the marketing side to make a beautiful turnaround.

"Mr. Wu!"

"Mr. Wu!!"

"Boss, here, this computer can demonstrate."

Technical Director Yuan Zhe said.

Wu Xin walked over and sat down, looked at the software with a blue background in front of him, and maintained Meitu's consistent UI style design.

The functions are divided into: beautification of pictures, portrait beauty, one-click comics, and Ai classroom.

Click on the first functional area, import a test map, check the corresponding filter, and the new picture will be generated in seconds, the effect is good, and he nodded with satisfaction.

At a glance, there are more than 50 filter templates on the menu bar.

Then he skipped the second module, clicked on the "one-click comics" function, imported a photo of a beautiful woman, and generated a comic version of the image in different scenes by clicking on the comic style on the right.

After trying both art styles, the results were not satisfactory.

Wu Xin frowned, didn't say a word, thought about it and opened the Ai classroom directly, and the layout of the interface was very close to Moss.

From top to bottom.

Model selection: ACG, real life, science fiction, comics, landscapes, ancient styles and other hundreds of styles;

Picture description: short sentences and short words are preferred;

Drawing scale and size: 1:1, 1:2, 4:3, 600*800, 720*1280, 900*1600;

"Wu Song fights the tiger."

Wu Xin entered the keyword and pressed the generate button.

The system responds immediately, the progress bar runs forward little by little, and three seconds later, a picture of two tigers fighting each other is born, with a few pine trees in the background.

What about Wu Song?

He raised his head, with anger in his heart, staring at Yuan Zhe, wanting the other party to give him a reasonable explanation.

"Mr. Wu, this is because the system has not been deeply trained, and the same is true for Moss as soon as it is launched, and it can be solved by slowly increasing the number of training times later."

Yuan Zhe hurriedly explained.

Wu Xin thought back for a moment, it seemed that there was such a thing, so he continued to test Ai's painting ability.

"Athletes, eyebrows upturned, half-closed eyes, thick lips, goatee, serious, evil smile, short hair, t-shirt, bucket hat, Pikachu tail, beach."

Click Generate again.

A few seconds later, an evil man with a goatee, dressed in a tracksuit and wearing a bucket hat, stands in front of the beach and, surprisingly, has a Pikachu's yellow tail.

For half an hour, after continuous testing, except for some complex words, the system could not respond accurately, and everything else could be drawn perfectly.

This level is not inferior to Moss Ai!

"Smack!"

"Smack! Syllable! ”

Wu Xin stood up and took the lead in applauding, and the others responded one after another, and the applause in the room was thunderous for a while.

"I announce that from today, Yuan Zhe, the technical director, will be promoted to the general manager of the Meitu Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, with a salary increase, share allotment, and double the bonus of other personnel!"

He grinned and waved loudly in the announcement.

"Wow! Thank you, Mr. Wu, the boss is arrogant! ”

"Brother Hong is domineering, Meitu will create brilliance again!"

"Kill the future technology and return to the first place in the market!"

The office cheered instantly, and under the stimulation of the bonus, everyone was excited and excited, but no one paid attention to the unnatural flashing on Yuan Zhe's face.

The next day, Andy, the intelligent robot of Meitu, was officially launched, and the slogan was beautiful, the first Ai painting software in China!

Good guy, just pretend to be blind, right?

When Chen Heyu saw this news, he almost couldn't hold back, your Ah Q, you guys win.

This time and space, under his mixing, began to become different, and even Meitu was able to create Ai ten years in advance.

Only...... It's hard to accept!

Why!

He has spent more than a billion yuan to achieve today's results, is Meitu the chosen one?

"Mr. Zhang, let the research institute issue a research report, I want to know the gap between Andy and Moss."

He specially called Zhang Nan and explained that in the face of competitors, he should not take it lightly.

"Mr. Chen, I will reply to you as soon as possible, in addition, the third round of sales of Moss speakers is scheduled for the 25th, and the inventory is 600,000 pieces."

Zhang Nan replied.

"No problem, do another pre-sale, the inventory is set at 1 million units, to combat the arrogance of a wave of scalpers, and always let fans see that the company is doing something."

Chen Heyu commanded.

……

The challenge of Meitu is very fierce, and many paid promotion channels are advertisements for Andy's paintings, and the promotion of print media and streaming media is overwhelming, and even the bus and subway are their poster pictures.

The Battle of the Shipbreaker!

The industry joked that Wu Xin was crazy this time, and the marketing expenses alone were smashed into 100 million, and it is said that he is still negotiating with Mango Channel, preparing to title the variety show "Where Are You Going, Dad".

"Andy's data after it goes online, Lao Wang will report it."

Wu Xinchong, the head of the data department, said.

"Mr. Wu, as of yesterday, the number of registered Andy users has exceeded 8 million, the paid conversion rate is 11%, and the total revenue is 19.6 million."

Lao Wang fished out a set of core parameters from the data pool and synchronized them to the directors of the participating departments.

In just seven days, the number of new users in a single day has increased by millions, and tens of millions of dollars have been consumed every day just by calculating the cost of buying volume.

During this time, the advertising and sales departments of Qiandu.com, Penguin Pass, and Mango Channel were the happiest.

After using Andy Painting, some users found that it was as smart as Moss Ai, and there was a wave of contests on the Internet to see which software was better.

Meitu has also successfully regained a small share of market share!

……

"Boss, Director Wei found out last week that someone registered a large number of Moss Ai accounts and used the number of free simulations to make a profit."

Zhang Nan reported.

"Did you get any results from the last time you were asked to do the research?"

Hearing this, Chen Heyu took the initiative to ask.

"It was this report that made the research institute discover the anomaly of recent data, the number of such accounts is as high as more than 5 million, and after investigation, most of the registered mobile phone numbers and IP addresses are concentrated in Ludao."

Zhang Nan said slowly, his words full of deep meaning.

"What do you mean?"

Chen Heyu reacted and asked with a smile, a little incredible, the other party wouldn't do such a shameless thing, right?

"I can't believe it, but judging from the results of the technical investigation, the truth may be ten."

Zhang Nan's tone was very affirmative, and he had obviously obtained sufficient evidence.

"Call the police."

Chen Heyu decided lightly.

Millions of fake accounts, you must know that Moss Ai registration requires a mobile phone number, this behavior has broken the law.

The other party's methods are very hidden, even Wu Chen didn't notice it, and the data department also treats this part of the user as natural traffic, if it weren't for Wei Gang, Future Technology doesn't know how much money it will lose.

"Give Lao Wei an additional bonus, and I see all the people who work hard for the company."

He added.

"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it."

Zhang Nan replied.

……

Future Technology is a tax pacesetter in Yancheng, and it has attracted much attention from the top, after Zhang Nan submitted the evidence to the relevant departments, the investigation results were quickly released.

The truth is shocking!

Andy's drawing of Meitu is actually called by the Moss Ai program!

What a trick!

The users of the two families quarreled on the Internet, wanting to compete for the high, and after hearing the news, they were stunned in place!

"Can anyone tell me? What does this mean? ”

"I thought you had improved, but I didn't expect you to even bother to plagiarize, and directly embezzle!"

"This kind of sassy operation, without decades of cerebral infarction, can never be imagined!"

"This kind of garbage company, go out of business early, phew!"

"Hahaha, don't ask why, I just want to laugh, I don't dare to write like that."

"The real business war turned out to be so unpretentious."

“……”

The comments of netizens were completely one-sided, and the melon-eating crowd picked up the keyboard and began to exert their strength, angrily spraying the shameless behavior of Meitu.

Three days later, the inspection department announced the results of the investigation!

The facts are basically the same as the gossip that went viral on the Internet, Andy turned out to be just a porter in the Ai world.

Main Participants:

Yuan Zhe, Technical Director;

Zhang Weiye, the second largest shareholder;

Liao Qiao, Technical Supervisor;

Treasurer Tang Jiao;

……

A total of dozens of participants hid from the big boss Wu Xin to do such stupid things, and even modified the paid data and secretly divided the funds obtained.

The amount of money involved, the bad impact, and the theft of a large amount of false information, several crimes are grouped together, and it is difficult to be free again without stepping on the sewing machine for a few years.

After this experience, although Wu Xin escaped, he could no longer raise the spirit of competition, and after the future technology took the initiative to open the interface, Meitu also voluntarily paid to call and became a member of the Moss Ai Alliance.

The former industry leader has bowed down and conceded defeat, and other P-picture and painting companies have all chosen to join the Moss Ai Alliance.

Future Technology will give up a part of the profits, divide them into levels according to the sales data of each company, formulate member discount standards, and have the right to be a dealer with a maximum of 20% off.

More than 30 companies have become the little brother of future technology, and their own software has simply changed its skin, and an artificial intelligence painting robot has come out.

Dongyun!

Super Want!

Unbounded!

Hua Ling!

The names are extraordinary, full of style, and the domestic AI painting lovers are all confused, what is the situation!

Could it be that 2013 is the first year of Huaguo Ai?

Gradually, everyone found out that the membership prices of these dozens of software were exactly the same, and with the revelations of people familiar with the matter, they realized that these companies were "co-opted" by Future Technology!

To put it bluntly, they all call Moss's interface, and it's the same with any software!

This incident also allowed Huaguo's entrepreneurs to see the terrifying energy, strong resource integration power, and huge ambition of future technology.

Excluding Adobe, Huaguo's digital picture editing industry has opened a golden age of dominance.

Don't look at these companies as inconspicuous, when tied together, the total number of users covered in the vertical field exceeds 300 million.

The number of users of Moss Ai in China has swelled sharply to 260 million, leading the international version of Moss Ai for the first time.

"Boss, the members of the alliance have brought 150 million new users to the company, 13 million paying users, and a total revenue of 370 million Chinese dollars.

The Ministry of Finance estimates that the domestic revenue of Moss Ai will exceed 1.5 billion this year! ”

Zhang Nan reported with a smile on the phone.

"Mr. Zhang, congratulations on becoming famous and winning the domestic market."

Chen Heyu leaned back on the sofa and replied.

After a storm, Zhang Nan was bloodless, unified the picture editing market, and completely gained a firm foothold in the business world, leaving people with the impression that "people don't talk much".

Chen Heyu is also very satisfied with her strategy, if the future technology is to kill its peers, there is no room for it.

First, it will cause industry shocks, which will inevitably cause a large number of employees to lose their jobs;

Second, the appearance is too ugly, and when it encounters anti-monopoly in the future, Future Technology will be a bird;

Third, the users who have worked hard for these dozens of enterprises will be worthless if they are lost in vain, so it is better to seize the waste in their hands and use it.

Chen Heyu's idea is to make the market bigger and stronger, concentrate on developing overseas markets, and earn foreigners' American knives.

Instead of thinking about relying on leading technology, occupying this "trickling stream" in China and dying of thirst for others, this practice is meaningless, just a cancer in the industry.

He wants to create new industries, new opportunities, not destroy old things.

The result is in line with his expectations, accepting these little brothers, he can help the company earn hundreds of millions more every month, plus overseas revenue.

Next year, 2014, the total revenue of Future Technology can easily reach 10 billion Chinese dollars!

Future Technology is a software company, and the majority of it is R&D costs and labor costs, and no matter how high the salary is, he can't consume 10% of it!

The rest is all profit!

This is the reason why the major venture capital institutions are jealous, such as kangaroo flash delivery Although the volume is large, and millions of people in the whole link serve it, the net profit of the annual balance is not as high as the outside world thinks.

"It's all the credit of the boss, we work as workers, how dare we take credit."

Zhang Nan knew his temper and saw that he was in a good mood, so he also tried to make jokes.

"If you preside over the annual meeting, I won't join in the fun, and I will reward you with 50,000 shares, and I will let Zhou Zi arrange this matter."

Chen Heyu smiled slightly, throwing out tens of millions worth of equity, Zhou Zi is the chief financial officer, and he needs to come forward.

Zhang Nan is in charge of domestic business, he can't favor one over the other, this move is to tell her to do a good job.

Zhou Zi has it, and she has it too.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, don't worry about it here, I will handle it properly."

Zhang Nan thanked again and again.

"Well, I believe you, so leave it here, I have something to do today."

Chen Heyu hung up the phone, put on a set of luxury gifts, and on his wrist was the thousand-yuan mechanical watch given by Luo Wenwen, and after glancing at the time, he smiled.

Get straight in the car and head to the Manslaughter 2 celebration party!

Guys, just watch it happily, I will work hard to code words, I wish you all a happy May Day, and get rich as soon as possible.
