Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

Chapter 122 Unify the domestic market and look forward to 100 billion revenue!
Lu Island.

It was gray and rainy.

Wu Xin, the big boss of Meitu, is fidgeting in the office, feeling like the weather outside, gloomy and chilly.

"Beeping 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 dropped by [-]%. Will the remaining old users stay in Meitu after their membership expires?

Or, directly into the arms of Moss Ai.

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

Fucking future technology, Yao Gui, don't give it a chance, why don't you go too far!

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

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

"I'll be right there."

Wu Xin put down these words and hurried to the elevator entrance. In order to fight against future technology, Meitu invested heavily in setting up a research team to develop artificial intelligence painting software.

From spring to autumn, after nine months, I finally saw the results.

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

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

"Boss Wu!"

"Boss Wu!"

"Boss, here, this computer can demonstrate."

Technical Director Yuan Zhe said.

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

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

Click on the first function area, import a test image, check the corresponding filter, and a new image 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 comic" function, imported a photo of a beautiful woman, and clicked on the comic style on the right to generate a comic version of the image in different scenes.

After trying two illustration styles, the results were not satisfactory.

Wu Xin frowned, didn't say a word, thought for a while and opened the Ai classroom directly. The layout of the interface was very similar to that of Moss.

From top to bottom.

Model selection: Hundreds of styles such as Two-dimensional, real-life, science fiction, comics, landscape, and ancient style;
Screen description: Short sentences and short words are better;
画图比例和尺寸：1:1、1:2、4:3，600*800、720*1280、900*1600；

"Wuson beats a tiger."

Wu Xin enters keywords and presses the generate button.

The system responded immediately, and the progress bar moved forward little by little. Three seconds later, a picture of two tigers fighting was born, with several 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 hasn't undergone in-depth training, and it's the same when Moss just went online. Slowly increase the number of training later, and it will be solved."

Yuan Zhe quickly explained.

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

"Athlete, raised eyebrows, 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, a man with a goatee, wearing sportswear and a bucket hat, stood in front of the beach. Surprisingly, he also had Pikachu's yellow tail.

After half an hour, after continuous testing, except for some complex vocabulary, the system could not respond accurately, and the others could be drawn perfectly.

This level is not inferior to Mo Siai!

"Snapped!"

"Crack! Crack!"

Wu Xin stood up and took the lead in clapping. Others responded one after another, and the room burst into thunderous applause.

"I announce that Yuan Zhe, the technical director, will be promoted to the general manager of the Meitu Artificial Intelligence Research Institute starting today, with salary increases, allotment of shares, and double bonuses for other personnel!"

He grinned and announced loudly with a wave.

"Wow! Thank you Mr. Wu, the boss is so proud!"

"Brother Hong is domineering, Meitu will create another glories!"

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

The office burst into cheers instantly, everyone was excited and excited under the stimulus of the bonus, but no one noticed, the unnatural flash across Yuan Zhe's face.

On the second day, Andy, the intelligent robot of Meitu, was officially launched, with a beautiful slogan, Huaguo's No. [-] Ai painting software!

Good guy, just pretend to be blind, right?

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

Under his disturbance, this time and space began to become different. Even Meitu was able to create love ten years earlier.

It's just... unacceptable!
Why!

He spent more than a billion yuan to achieve today's results. Could it be that Meitu is the chosen one?
"Mr. Zhang, let the research institute produce a research report. I want to know the gap between Andy and Moss."

He specifically called Zhang Nan and explained that facing competitors, one 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 60 pieces."

Zhang Nan replied.

"No problem, let's do another pre-sale, and set the inventory at 100 million units, to fight against the arrogance of a wave of scalpers, and always let fans see that the company is doing something."

Chen Heyu ordered.

……

The challenge of Meitu came very fiercely. Many paid promotion channels were advertisements of Andy's paintings. The publicity of paper media and streaming media was overwhelming, and even their posters were displayed on the bus and subway.

A desperate battle!

The industry jokingly said that Wu Xin was crazy this time, spending [-] million in marketing expenses alone. It is said that he is still negotiating with Mango Channel to title the variety show "Where Are We Going, Dad".

"Old Wang will report the data after Andy goes online."

Wu Xinchong, the person in charge of the data department, said.

"Mr. Wu, as of yesterday, the number of registered users of Andy has exceeded 800 million, the payment conversion rate is 11%, and the total revenue is 1960 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 increased by one million in a single day, and tens of millions were consumed every day just by calculating the purchase cost.

During this period, the advertising and sales departments of Qiandu.com, Penguin, and Mango Channel had the happiest time. Their bonuses would be stable if they distributed coins for one month.

After some users used Andy to paint, they found that its intelligence was not inferior to that of Moss Ai. There was a wave of competitions on the Internet to see which software was better.

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

……

"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."

Reported by Zhang Nanhui.

"Is there any result from the research I asked you to do last time?"

Hearing this, Chen Heyu took the initiative to ask.

"It was this report that made the research institute discover the anomalies in the recent data. The number of such accounts is as high as 500 million. After investigation, most of the registered mobile phone numbers and IP addresses are concentrated in Ludao."

Zhang Nan said slowly, the words were full of deep meaning.

"What do you mean?"

Chen Heyu came to his senses, and asked with a smile, a little unbelievable, the other party wouldn't do such a shameless thing, right?
"I can't believe it either, but judging from the results of technical investigations, the facts may not be far from each other."

Zhang Nan's tone was very affirmative, apparently having obtained sufficient evidence.

"Call the police."

Chen Heyu calmly decided.

There are millions of false accounts. You must know that Moss AI needs a mobile phone number to register. This kind of behavior has violated the law.

The other party's method is very subtle, even Wu Chen didn't notice it, and the data department also regarded this part of users as natural traffic. If it weren't for Wei Gang, Future Technology still doesn't know how much money it would lose.

"Give Lao Wei an additional bonus, and I will pay attention to those who work hard for the company."

He added.

"Okay, boss, I will arrange it."

Zhang Nan replied.

……

Future Technology is a taxpayer in Yancheng, and it has attracted much attention from above. After Zhang Nan submitted the evidence to the relevant departments, the investigation results were released soon.

The truth is astonishing!

Andy's drawing of Meitu calls the Moss Ai program!

What a trick!
The users of the two companies were arguing on the Internet, wanting to compete for superiority, but after hearing the news, they froze in place!
"Who can tell me? What does this mean?"

"I thought you had improved, but I didn't expect you to be too lazy to plagiarize, just steal it!"

"This kind of coquettish operation, without decades of cerebral infarction, absolutely can't think of it!"

"This kind of rubbish company should close down soon, bah!"

"Hahaha, don't ask why, I just want to laugh, I dare not write like this in novels."

"The real business war is so simple and unpretentious."

"..."

Netizens' comments were completely one-sided. The people who eat melons picked up their keyboards and began to exert their strength, angrily spraying shameless acts of beauty.

Three days later, the inspector announced the results of the investigation!

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

Main participants:

Technical Director Yuan Zhe;

Zhang Weiye, the second largest shareholder;

Liao Qiao, technical director;
Treasurer Tang Jiao;

……

A total of dozens of participants did such stupid things without telling the big boss Wu Xin, and even modified the payment data to secretly divide up the funds obtained.

The amount of money involved is high, the influence is bad, and a large amount of false information is stolen. Several charges are put together. If you don't step on the sewing machine for a few years, it will be difficult to regain your freedom.

After this encounter, although Wu Xin escaped, he could no longer arouse the spirit of competition. After 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 his head and surrendered, and other photoshops and painting companies have all chosen to join the Moss Ai Alliance.

Future Technology will give up part of the profits, classify them according to the sales data of each company, formulate member discount standards, and have a maximum of [-]% off dealer rights.

More than 30 companies have transformed themselves into the younger brothers of future technology. Simply changing the skin of their own software, an artificial intelligence painting robot has come out.

Dong Yun!

I really want to!

No boundaries!

Hualing!

The names are extraordinary and full of style, which has completely confused the domestic AI painting lovers. What is the situation!
Is 2013 the first year of Hua Guoai?

Gradually, everyone discovered that the membership prices of these dozens of software were exactly the same, and with the revelations from insiders, they realized that these companies were all "collected" by Future Technology!
To put it bluntly, they all call the interface of Moss, whichever software they use is the same!
This incident also allowed entrepreneurs in Huaguo to see the terrifying energy of future technology, powerful resource integration capabilities, and huge ambitions.

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

Regardless of the inconspicuousness of these companies, after being tied together, the total number of users in the vertical field exceeds 3 million.

The number of users of Moss Ai in China has rapidly expanded to 2.6 million, leading the international version of Moss Ai for the first time.

"Boss, members of the alliance have brought 1.5 million new users to the company, 1300 million paying users, and a total revenue of 3.7 million Chinese dollars.

The Ministry of Finance estimates that Moss AI's domestic revenue this year will exceed the 15 billion mark! "

Zhang Nan reported with a smile on the phone.

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

Chen Heyu leaned on the sofa and replied cheerfully.

After a lot of turmoil, Zhang Nan dominated the photo editing market without bloodshed, and gained a firm foothold in the business world, leaving people with the impression that "people are very quiet".

Chen Heyu is also very satisfied with her strategy, if the future technology kills the peers, there will be no room for it.

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

Second, the appearance is too ugly. When encountering anti-monopoly in the future, Future Technology will be an early bird;

Third, the users who these dozens of companies have painstakingly managed will be worthless if they are lost in vain. 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 make money from foreigners.

Instead of thinking about relying on leading technology, occupying this "fine stream" in the country, and dying others from thirst, this approach is meaningless and just a cancer in the industry.

He thinks about creating new industries, new opportunities, not destroying old ones.

The result was in line with his expectations. Accepting this group of younger brothers could help the company earn several hundred million more every month, plus overseas revenue.

Next year, in 2014, the total revenue of Future Technology can easily reach 100 billion Chinese dollars!
Future Technology is a software company, the bulk of which is research and development costs and labor costs. No matter how high the salary he offers, he can't consume 10% of it!

The rest is all profit!
This is the reason why major venture capital institutions are jealous. Although Kangaroo Flash is large in size and millions of people in the whole link serve it, the net profit left over every year is not as high as the outside world imagines.

"It's all the boss's credit. We beat the workers, so how dare we take the credit."

Zhang Nan knew his temper, and seeing that he was in a good mood, she also tried to make a joke.

"If you host the annual meeting, I won't join in the fun. I will reward you with [-] shares. I will let Zhou Zi arrange this."

Chen Heyu smiled slightly, and threw out equity worth tens of millions. Zhou Zi was the chief financial officer and needed him to come forward.

Zhang Nan is in charge of domestic business, he can't favor one over another, 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 here, I will handle it properly."

Zhang Nan thanked again and again.

"Well, I believe in you, let's go 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 that Luo Wenwen gave him. He glanced at the time and smiled knowingly.

Get in the car straight to the "Manslaughter 2" celebration party!

　Gentlemen, just have fun watching, I will work hard to code, I wish you all a happy May Day and get rich as soon as possible.
