Chapter 95: The Cake That Changed the World

Everyone gradually fell silent.

Bai Shuo continued: "Not only the mobile phone industry, but also the 3G era and the future 4G, 5G era, will also be the subversion of other industries, the Kodak, digital cameras, and even Motorola, Lokia, etc., these may be seen in the near future, and there are many more that we can't predict now." ”

"This time in the United States, I met a person, Steve, the founder of Apple Inc. in the United States. Through talking to him, I felt that their ideas were already much ahead of us, and maybe you don't know much about the company at the moment, but I dare to assert that with the rise of smartphones, this company and Steve's name will be known to everyone. However, from the moment I met Steve, I knew that this man would be my respectable friend and ultimately our formidable adversary. In the next step, my first direction of development will be to focus on the development of the smartphone field. However, the research and development of smart phones is not an easy thing, just like the automotive industry mentioned by Yao Tao just now, although it may still be an emerging thing in terms of smart phones, but there are still many gaps behind it that we need to catch up. The gap in hardware technology, chips, processors, assembly technologies, software operating systems, etc., if these core technologies are not in our own hands, then even if we can build a good smartphone, it is easy to be stuck by others at the critical time of the duel. ”

"Yes, if the basic part of the house is in the hands of others, no matter how high and fast you build, it will be a mansion in the air that cannot withstand the wind and rain. Hearing this, the pillar sighed.

Zhang Minxian, the wife of the pillar, also said casually: "Brother Bai Shuo is right, 3G technology is now relatively mature, it will be widely used in the past two years, and the company has also sent me to study in depth, but I don't quite understand many places, listening to you say this today, I have a feeling of sudden enlightenment." I think many of the inferences of the Bai Shuo brothers will be realized one by one in the future. ”

Minxian is very familiar with telecommunications business and technology, and when she said this, everyone was even more convinced.

Bai Shuo continued: "It's not terrible to be stuck in the neck, with our wisdom and hard-working hands, nothing is invincible. Of course, if you take the road of independent research and development, it will be very slow and very expensive, but it is very necessary, so the future investment in this area will be quite huge. As he spoke, Bai Shuo raised a finger. "One trillion, I estimate that if you want to support the future of China's smartphone industry, you will need at least one trillion yuan of investment in the past two decades. Of course, if you can successfully walk in the forefront and lead this era, the rewards will be quite amazing. ”

"It seems that it is not unreasonable for you to cry poor, but such a huge industry is not something you can do alone, and it will be a great cause for the whole country and the whole nation. Liang Yingle said.

Bai Shuo smiled: "Well, you're right, but I can do more if I can do more with a penny." Okay, I also want to say that the research and development of smart phones is just the first step of the long march, with the platform, more importantly, the application on the platform, the industrial chain behind the smart phone will also be very huge, it can be said that no matter which industry you are engaged in in the future, it will be associated with it, I will not go into detail here. So let me talk about the second field we want to enter, which is also related to smart phones, that is, the research and development of artificial intelligence, and artificial intelligence in the future is not just simple calculation, information input and output, but can identify information by itself, and analyze and judge according to the information, realize the statistical analysis of big data, equipment automation, car driving, smart home, smart travel, Human-machine dialogue, etc., in general, one of the main goals of AI is to enable machines to do complex tasks that would normally require human intelligence to complete. The initial investment of this project will also need at least one trillion yuan to get a first glimpse of the door.

"Oh my God, a trillion is just getting a glimpse of the door. "Does this artificial intelligence threaten humanity?" "Wow, will there really be a robot era in the future?" ”

Without waiting for everyone to finish the discussion, Bai Shuo continued: "The third area that I will focus on next is the e-commerce economy. Maybe you don't think this is unusual, because there are still some of them. But let's imagine that it is possible for everyone to stay in front of the computer all the time in the current e-commerce? Or is it possible for everyone to carry a computer to the street, take a car, eat, or travel at any time? Obviously, it is impossible, even if someone does this, it is impossible to keep the computer connected to the Internet at any time for business activities, right? This is the biggest obstacle to the current e-commerce economy. However, with the development of smartphones and artificial intelligence, this can become a reality. ”

Bai Shuo's words were very inspiring, and everyone suddenly imagined it in their minds for a while.

Seeing that everyone seemed to be still thinking, Bai Shuo also paused and slowed down and continued: "In the future, the cake of e-commerce will grow rapidly, not only for business operations, but also for every ordinary person to engage in various business activities on the Internet every day, such as online shopping, online taxi, online learning, online information exchange, online food ordering, ......." In a word, the next ten or twenty years will be the era of traditional industries turning to networking and intelligence, and in such an era, whoever does not change will die. So this piece, from the current domestic development point of view, I am very optimistic about Ahri, Penguin, Qiangdong these companies, their ideas are more advanced, and will become the representative of the new e-commerce economy in the future, what we have to do is to imitate, catch up, surpass them, and the second is to invest, cooperate, and achieve a win-win situation. So if we want to make a name for ourselves in this area, we have to prepare another trillion. ”

"In addition, although the rise of e-commerce is already a sure thing, a considerable number of people have not yet seen the size of the pie of electronic payment to match. Imagine what kind of era it would be if one day everyone no longer used paper money, switched to electronic money, and took out a mobile phone or a code to complete payment and transfer. Nie Dong asked suspiciously: "The banknotes don't exist anymore, is this possible? Is the electronic money you mentioned just a bunch of numbers, is that thing reliable? Will everyone trust such a virtual thing?"

Faced with a series of questions, Bai Shuo smiled, he knew that if he told everyone such a nihilistic thing now, everyone would definitely not believe it, not because there was no trust, but because these things were currently beyond everyone's cognition. "A bunch of numbers is not trustworthy, but is the paper money we are currently using trustworthy? To put it bluntly, it is not a stack of printed paper. From the initial barter, to the measurement of sheep, to the use of hard currency such as real money and silver, which change is not earth-shattering and unimaginable. ”

Bai Shuo sorted out his thoughts and continued: "In fact, since gold became paper money, money has entered the virtualization and lost its actual value, and now money is actually a symbol and a unit of calculation, and this symbol is paper or a set of data, is it still so important? The issuance of paper money has had a huge impact on the modern economy, but it has also begun inflation and financial crisis. Imagine what the future would be if the era of electronic payments became a reality, and we could become the masters of the future of electronic money?"

The words were loud, and everyone was surprisingly quiet. After a while, Liang Ying said with a smile: "In terms of making money, what is better than controlling the issuance of currency, as long as you can control the currency power of a country, then you will become the actual controller of the country, the problem is that for the sake of national interests, any country will not give up the control of electronic money, even if we master the leading technology, it is impossible to become the controller of electronic money in the end, to put it bluntly, it is a big cake that is enough to change the world, it is something that will be snatched by various countries even if it is a war and kills" 。

Cao An continued: "I don't dare to think of full control of electronic money, but if we can take the lead in the field of electronic payment, we can still benefit a lot, because this will be a huge impact on the world economic pattern and the traditional financial industry.

"How is this possible, if anyone tells me that my wealth is a pile of data, then I have to go crazy" "If you control electronic money, how much money is flowing in the market, isn't it just a sentence for us, it's exciting to think about" "This thing sounds mysterious, I feel like my IQ is already in arrears"......

Just when everyone was discussing every word, Kevin, who had been silent, suddenly said something that quieted everyone again: "Actually, there may be an electronic currency that is worth applying in e-commerce in the future."

Facing everyone's gaze, Kevin said again: "If the special solution obtained by some algorithms of the computer, the algorithm is different, and the total amount of the final special solution will be relatively fixed, if it can be recognized by everyone, and create a set of trading system, and apply it as a currency to daily transactions, is it to solve the problems mentioned by everyone, such as unlimited issuance, virtual currency inflation, control and many other problems."

At this time, many people were at a loss, and a few people were a little thoughtful, obviously everyone was still difficult to digest or even completely incomprehensible about the proposition put forward by Kevin. Li Lin is also a computer major, and he can still understand what Kevin said, but he still hasn't fully understood the key. But Bai Shuo suddenly became excited at this time, by the way, what is this, he struggled to remember something in his memory. That's right for virtual currency, algorithms, fixed amounts...... Bitcoin!!Some things hidden in his mind gradually became clear, Bai Shuo rushed to Kevin like crazy, shaking his confused head, "Kevin, is your head fleshy, how can you come up with such a strange thing? Bitcoin, Bitcoin." ”

"Amount, what bitcoin ?......"
