Before Chen Heyu left Yangcheng, he failed to convince Wu Maozhe, a genius chip designer, to join Future Technology.

"I wish you success, when you figure it out, feel free to contact me."

He explained as he left.

As for whether Wu Maozhe can fight his "cheap big brother", Chen Heyu said that he is not optimistic.

The information obtained from Wang Yi's mouth showed that the other party was far superior to him in terms of mentality, means, and ability.

can only hope that he will "vigorously" produce a miracle, after all, in terms of crazy criticism and persistent spirit, his eldest brother can't catch up.

The appearance of Moss's second-generation smart speaker,There are three versions of the first draft that have passed the review,Chen Heyu among them,Chose the most scientific and technological shell design。

After the workers' welfare was improved, the production cost was increased accordingly, maintaining at 170 yuan per unit, and he thought twice about it and still gave a price of 369 yuan.

At 10 o'clock on February 28, 2014, Moss second-generation speakers were officially sold online for the first time, with an inventory of 500,000 units.

In addition to the fanatical Ai fans, the most excited are the scalpers.

In their eyes, Moss speakers are the artifact of fortune, and the first wave will inevitably be able to eat meat and drink soup.

There are many people who have made a fortune by reselling the first generation of Moss speakers.

Zhao Dong is also ready to move.

The lesson he received from the Moss generation was quite profound, and this time he was ready to make a move as soon as he arrived, and he was determined not to earn the last copper plate.

This is the rule he has set for himself!

Glancing at the time, there were only three minutes left, skillfully starting the plug-in, with the experience of rushing to buy a few times before, Zhao Dong had already stopped his heart.

He understands that grabbing it does not mean that he can make money, and the moment of realization is worth celebrating.

The financial attributes of Moss speakers,It also makes some college students feel the benefits,You can earn hundreds of yuan by grabbing one,In some backward cities,This money is a month's living expenses for an ordinary student。

Staring at the countdown on the webpage, there are all kinds of buyers on the opposite side of Moss's official website, including mothers, students, migrant workers from far away, and evaluation bloggers.

The group of people who have eaten the dividends of the Moss generation of speakers attach great importance to this sale event.

“5！”

“4！”

“3！”

“2！”

“1！”

"I'll go, the page is stuck!"

"Silly ×, refresh quickly, what if there is still a chance?"

"It's too rolly, it's not so difficult for me to grab a rice phone!"

"This is more desperate than the train ticket for the Spring Festival!"

The number of people who make appointments to buy on the webpage is 20.86 million, and the inventory is only 500,000, plus the existence of scalpers and technology parties, and the number of people who are destined to grab less than 2%.

"Is there a transfer? 1000 yuan plus price recycling, friends who want to sell add me WeChat: 189****5690! ”

"Collect one for my own use, I'm a primary school student, I don't have much money, is there any kind person willing to pay the original price."

"There is only one Moss second-generation speaker, and the one with the highest price will get it!"

A college student in Hong Kong City, who has posted information on the second-hand market, has been paying attention to future technology companies since he won a prize of 200,000 yuan at the Moss Ai competition.

The Moss generation of loudspeakers was first released, and he was involved in it.

Because he can't write rush software, he can only mobilize his classmates to help grab it together, adding 300 yuan per unit to recycle, and some poor students who lack money and have no way out will choose to join his "scalpers".

After a few shots, he easily earned tens of thousands.

After today's sale event, after statistics, his team grabbed 41 units, and seeing that the market price broke through the 1200 yuan mark, he was crazy, and this one made money directly.

On the other hand, Zhao Dong is also immersed in happiness, as an old driver, he has experienced a hundred battles and grabbed a total of 29 units.

"There are too many black technologies in Dogday, and I have to continue to optimize the software."

Zhao Dong was keenly aware that there were more and more scalpers competing with him, and he only grabbed 29 units by relying on software.

However, the price of the second generation of Moss is really good.

After deducting the cost of 369 yuan, this wave of income was 24,000 yuan, and he felt that he was able to do it again and re-supported it.

"Aren't you still grabbing that?"

The girlfriend was dissatisfied.

"This time is different, I will ship as soon as I get it, and I will resolutely not hoard."

Zhao Dong and his girlfriend explained.

"Can't you just work hard? Can you get rich with these? When will we be able to afford our own home? ”

The girlfriend said hoarsely.

She had enough of the disappointment, looking at her boyfriend in front of her, the aura of the past was slowly fading, and for a moment, she just wanted to slam the door and leave.

"Give me another chance, okay?"

Zhao Dong panicked, wiped his girlfriend's tears, and felt a faint pain in his heart, didn't he want to buy a house?

Is this house price an extravagant prospect?

……

"Mr. Chen, the international version of Moss Intelligent Voice has entered the acceptance test stage, and it is expected to be delivered and launched in March."

Zhang Nan called to remind.

"Wei Gang, this kid is fighting so hard? Can you complete the development plan a month ahead of schedule? ”

Chen Heyu said in surprise.

"Boss, Director Wei spends the rest of his time at his workstation except for eating and sleeping every day."

Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"Give Lao Wei a week's vacation and let him have a good rest."

Chen Heyu admonished.

The international version of Moss intelligent voice was launched, and the second generation of Moss speakers was launched to the market together, combining software and hardware, and the future technology can be called the real meaning of sailing.

However, the beautiful country has a deep foundation in the field of artificial intelligence, inventing the programming language LISP for artificial intelligence research more than 50 years ago, and promoting the development of neural network technology 40 years ago.

At the application level, IBME's "Deep Blue" supercomputer defeated the Mao Bear National Chess World Champion; Three years ago, Gugou completed the first experiment of driverless cars, symbolizing a feasible breakthrough in intelligent transportation.

Chen Heyu is worried that under his stimulus, the beautiful congress will speed up the research and development of artificial intelligence, and whether the future technology can always maintain its leading edge is a question worth pondering.

"To speed up the industrial layout, there is not much time left for me."

He thought to himself.

Although the institute had just finished the development of a large project, he still asked Zhang Nan to publish the "Moss image processing technology research and development plan table".

This is a new challenge!

From picture editing, to speech recognition, to image and video understanding, Moss has crossed the technological gap of decades in just over two years, and it is not easy to talk about it when it comes to future technology.

"Mr. Zhang, the recruitment work can't be stopped, synchronized with the personnel department, continue to tap cutting-edge talents in face recognition, object detection, semantic segmentation and computer vision, this project is handed over to Wu Chen, let him lead."

Chen Heyu commanded.

Most of the floors of the Changqin Building opposite Jingwei Garden are empty, and they are in urgent need of excellent researchers and engineers to fill them.

"Mr. Chen, experts in related fields in China, are basically in our company, and the academicians of those research institutes can't be found.

Before, they were all warned by the above, if it weren't for Mr. Jiang from the Public Relations Processing Department, the company would definitely be hanging. ”

Zhang Nan was embarrassed, and vaguely expressed that this kind of behavior was too hateful.

"There should always be no one to take care of foreign research institutes, right? Don't worry about money, time is more precious, and you can earn it when the money is gone. ”

Chen Heyu replied.

He knew that Opun Ai, which was established a year later, also had a large number of Chinese people in the technical team, and the reason why this group of people chose Pretty Country was nothing more than to have a higher salary and a more comfortable working environment.

He can provide them all.

Before Maske starts, let's take a trick and bring all the corresponding R&D engineers under his command.

Future Technology's expected revenue in 2014 is at least 3 billion US dollars, and he can afford it without worrying about labor expenses.

After the call, he picked up his papers, left his office, and headed downstairs.

After the beginning of the year, Shanhai Film and Television's New Year's kick-off party, as the boss, he must participate.

"Mr. Chen!"

"Boss!"

Seeing him walk into the conference room, two different titles sounded, the first batch of old employees liked to call him Mr. Chen, and the later new employees were used to calling him boss.

Chen Heyu waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down first.

Looking around, there were dozens of people sitting in the house, and on the left hand side was Lin Shiwei, the general manager of mountains and seas.

On the right hand side is Xiao Yang, the top commercial director of Shanhai.

Below Lao Xiao is Zhang Chen, who is happy twist, and the heads of other departments are seated in turn, and the people in the middle and rear areas are Li Xue, Ma Qiang, Liu Lichang, Da Peng, Guo Wan and Yan Fei.

"Let's start with the finance department."

Chen Heyu opened his mouth and said that he wanted to know about the performance of Shanhai Film and Television last year.

"Boss, in 2013, the company's main film projects are "Manslaughter 2", "When a Man Falls in Love", "Charlotte Troubles", TV series "The Best of Us", "Hurry That Year" web series, "Soul Ferry", "Langya Bang", variety shows "The Voice of China", net profit is 2.3 billion ......"

The CFO turns on the projection screen, pulls out a set of data, and shows it to everyone.

"Shhh

Knowledgeable people gasped, the figure of 2.3 billion scared them, Huayi held the title of the largest private film company, and last year's net profit was only 670 million, which was less than 1/3 of Shanhai.

Hehe, Huayi's name has long been inconsistent.

"Yes, what other projects are going to be launched this year?"

Chen Heyu asked with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, Director Xiao's "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is expected to be released in the first half of the year, and Guo Wan's "Wandering Land Star" is in preliminary preparations......"

The boss of the production department replied that several directors basically have their own new projects.

Ma Qiang is filming "Lonely and Brilliant God".

Da Peng submitted a new script "Sewing Machine Band", intending to be ashamed.

Yan Fei and Peng Mo partnered for the second time to start the filming plan of "Iron Fist of Shame", with Ma Li and Allen as the protagonists, and Shen Teng as the supporting role, and the box office results of this movie in the previous life were quite good.

Liu Lichang is in charge of the popular IP adaptation of "A Smile is Alluring".

Lin Shiwei served as the chief producer of the second season of "The Voice of China", and the performance of this gold-making masterpiece in the second season was even hotter.

Before the launch ceremony was held, advertisers and sponsors had already visited the door.

At present, only Li Xue is in the idle stage, and two consecutive costume dramas have made her tired enough, either climbing the snow peak or going to the grassland.

"Director Li, which book do you like this year? Let the IP operation department help you buy it. ”

Chen Heyu said to her.

"The Legend of Miyue", after I read this script, it gave me a new creative passion, and the copyright is in the hands of the company, so I don't have to trouble Director Yao."

Li Xue said with a faint smile.

Joining Shanhai Film and Television has become the wisest choice she has made in her career, with sufficient funds, room to play, a strong screenwriting team, and a money-squandering IP department, staring at popular male and female frequencies all day long, and buying them all if she has potential.

Other directors are worried about filming the next work, she only needs to choose a satisfactory work in the huge script library.

Chen Heyu nodded, looked at Yao Yuan from the IP department, and frowned after listening to his report, the version fee alone has burned 400 million in the past year, which is a waste of money.

"Discuss with Lao Zhou tomorrow and test whether Brother Qiao has any intention of selling."

He thought about it and made up his mind.

A meeting lasted for three hours before it barely ended, and Chen Heyu called Lao Xiao, Guo Wan and Lao Hu to go out to eat together.

It's rare that he didn't take advantage of Lao Hu, so he chose a Cantonese restaurant and took the initiative to treat him.

"Director Guo, how is the preparation of "Wandering Earth Star"?"

Chen Heyu asked with concern, and there was no urging in his tone, the production time of this sci-fi masterpiece in the previous life was close to four years, and Guo Wan couldn't make great progress in a few months.

"Mr. Chen, these are the concept drawings that will appear in the movie, including the exterior design drawings of some props."

Guo Wan pulled out a thick pile of drafts from his bag, thicker than three dictionaries combined.

"Lao Guo, you're exaggerating, aren't you?"

Xiao Yang was surprised that most directors can draw storyboards, and he is no exception, after all, he is from a major in the art department.

A storyboard that perfectly represents the scenes, plots, and character actions of a movie can improve shooting efficiency and save costs.

But these conceptual drawings of Guo Wan are too exaggerated.

"Brother Xiao, these are just some of them, more of them are on the computer."

Guo Wan smiled bitterly.

"The Wandering Earth" was a big project, and it took him and his art team three months to complete the initial concept art design.

That's it, with the help of Moss Ai2.0, it has such a fast production speed, and all the staff signed a confidentiality agreement.

Except for the R&D personnel of Future Technology, only they know in the whole country that Moss has evolved to version 2.0.

Chen Heyu took the manuscript and opened it one by one, which was basically a colored concept map, which made it easier for people to understand intuitively.

Engineering exoskeleton: a robotic arm device that can provide additional power to people, used in engineering construction, earthquake rescue, etc.;

The cool appearance is full of science and technology, and after he saw it, he put it aside, Xiao Yang immediately took it and studied it with Lao Hu.

Door Frame Robot: A combination of defense and combat, loaded with machine gun weapon modules and cameras, some of which resemble variants of security screening devices;

Astronaut maneuvering devices: including spacesuits, helmets, toolboxes, etc.;

Predator UAV: The two sides are screw wings, and the overall shape is like a fighter jet, which can realistically detect and combat functions;

Atmospheric diving suit: equipped with ADS atmospheric diving system, the oxygen tank behind it can be continuously supplied for 50 hours, and the airbag ejection device can also be used to escape in case of emergency;

Space elevator concept art!

Concept art of the moon base!

Concept art of a planetary engine!

Concept art of nuclear fusion on the moon!

Xiao Yang was so shocked that he couldn't speak, is this a movie that Huaguo can make?

"Director Guo, there are so many scenes, you must not be able to finish filming, if you don't dislike it, I will go to the crew to be an assistant director for you."

Lao Xiao's eyes were dripping, and a ghost idea popped up.

What's wrong with the assistant director!

Being able to make a name in the director team of this movie will also be a great resume in the future.

"Brother Xiao, don't entertain me, it's still unknown when this movie will start."

Guo Wan said with a smile.

"Lao Xiao, don't make trouble, I have arrangements for your next movie."

Chen Hayu interrupted him.

"Mr. Chen, if you don't let me enter the director team, then let me play a small supporting role."

Lao Xiao struggled.

"Heyu, Director Guo, do you think I have a chance?"

Hu Ge picked up the tea, toasted the two of them, and said with a smile.

"Have you seen the concept art from Hnsa's experts?"

Chen Heyu ignored Lao Hu, and continued to ask Guo Wan, Hnsa is the abbreviation of the China Space Agency, for the rigor of the film's plot, he specially entrusted someone to help him find a relationship, and invited three bigwigs in the field of aerospace engineering to help modify the bug and optimize the concept map of the props.

"This version is all revised."

Guo Wan replied.

What is HNSA?

This is Lao Xiao and Hu Ge's inner thoughts, secretly took out their mobile phones and began to move thousands of degrees, and the moment they learned the answer, the whole person was numb.

It's just a movie, is it necessary to play so big?

"Mr. Chen, I contacted a partner in Pengcheng called Yang Xu Studio for prop design, and the design and production of digital life cards, nuclear weapon detonators, quantum computers 550A and 550C, as well as drone jamming guns, door frame robots and exoskeleton control equipment were handed over to each other."

Guo Wan continued to report.

In the past few months, he has traveled all over the country, choosing the most satisfactory partner among more than 30 companies and studios.

"You keep this call, next time help me ask the other party if he is willing to accept the acquisition, or financing, if the other party is willing, let Zhou Xiaoyu come forward to advance."

Chen Heyu took out a business card of Lao Zhou from his wallet.

"General Manager of Shanhai Capital, Zhou Xiaoyu."

Guo Wan quickly reacted, this should also be a company owned by Mr. Chen, responsible for investment and mergers and acquisitions.

"Okay, I'll find a chance to find out."

Guo Wan agreed.

Chen Heyu remembered that the peripheral props of "The Wandering Land Star" in the previous life were also an important source of profits, how could he let it go.

"It's good to make preliminary preparations as planned, and in the future, the technology side will also carry out AI research on images and videos at the same time, hoping to help and shorten the production cycle."

Chen Heyu encouraged.

It's a long road to take the first step.

A large number of storyboards, complex sci-fi main scenes, costly studios and setting workshops all need to be coordinated by Guo Man himself.

The working members of "The Wandering Earth" swelled rapidly from one person to two hundred people in a few months.

This includes more than a dozen small departments such as a professional consultant group, a director group, an art photography group, and a props team, running around the country to work hard for China's first sci-fi blockbuster.

"Don't worry, boss, I'll do my best."

Guo Wan nodded, based on his trust in Moss Ai, he is also full of expectations for Moss video processing technology.

First, it can promote the speed of post-processing;

Second, solve the big scenes that can't be done in real-life shooting.

In science fiction movies, each frame of special effects takes a lot of rendering time and a huge amount of money.

For the crew, it was a difficult problem.

"Lao Guo, you must leave a place for me, I don't care."

Lao Xiao saw that after the two finished talking, he played a scoundrel.

"Boss, I want ...... too"

Hugo leaned in again.

……

The preparations for "The Wandering Earth Star" are progressing in an orderly manner.

On the other hand, when the time came to March, Kupai and HOC successively announced that they would release the latest version of Moss co-branded mobile phones.

There are no major changes in the configuration and before, the biggest difference is that it is equipped with Moss intelligent voice system, and the rice mobile phone is no longer the only choice for users.

With the announcement of the news, the sales of the rice 2S fell in response, and before Sanxing had time to rejoice, he found that it was about to face more competitors.

Gentlemen, ask for a count~
