Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

Chapter 133 Boss, I want too...

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

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

He confessed before leaving.

As for whether Wu Maozhe can beat his "cheaper brother", Chen Heyu expressed that he is not optimistic.

According to the information obtained from Wang Yi's mouth, the other party is far superior to him in terms of intelligence, methods, and abilities.

I can only hope that his "vigorousness" will produce a miracle. After all, in terms of crazy criticism and persistent spirit, his elder brother can't catch up with his flattery.

The appearance of Moss's second-generation smart speaker has three drafts that have passed the review, and Chen Heyu has selected a shell design with the most technological sense among them.

After the increase in workers' benefits, the production cost increased accordingly, and remained at 170 yuan per unit. After careful consideration, he still offered a price of 369 yuan.

2014年2月28日10点，莫斯二代音箱第一次正式网络售卖，库存50万台。

Apart from the fanatical Ai fans, the scalpers are the most excited.

In their eyes, Moss speakers are magic tools for making money, and the first wave must be able to eat meat and drink soup.

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

Zhao Dong was also ready to move.

The lessons he had learned from Moss's generation were quite profound. This time, he sold as soon as the goods were ready to arrive, and he was determined not to earn the last copper coin.

This is the rule he set for himself!
Glancing at the time, there were only 3 minutes left, and he activated the plug-in proficiently. With the previous experience of panic buying, Zhao Dong was already at peace.

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

The financial attributes of Moss speakers have also benefited some college students. They can earn hundreds of dollars by grabbing one. In some backward cities, this amount of money is a month’s living expenses for an ordinary student.

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

The group of people who have enjoyed the dividends of Moss's first-generation speakers are particularly valued by this sale.

"5!"

"4!"

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"I'm going, the page is fucking stuck!"

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

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

"This is even more desperate than a train ticket for the Spring Festival travel rush!"

There are 2086 million pre-orders on the webpage, and the inventory is only 50. In addition to the existence of scalpers and technology parties, less than 2% of people are destined to grab it.

"Is there any transfer? 1000 yuan price increase to collect, friends who want to sell add me WeChat: 189****5690!"

"Take one for my own use. I'm a primary school student and I don't have much money. Is there any kind-hearted person willing to pay the original price?"

"Sell a second-generation Moss speaker, only one, the one with the highest price gets it!"

A college student in Hong Kong City listed for sale information on the second-hand market. Since he won the 20 bonus in the Moss Ai Competition, he has been paying attention to future technology companies.

He was a part of the first Moss generation speakers to go on sale.

Since he doesn't know how to write snap-off software, he can only mobilize his classmates to help him grab it together, and each unit will be recycled at an additional 300 yuan. Some poor students who are short of money and have no connections will choose to join his "scalper group".

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

After today's sale event ended, according to statistics, his team grabbed 41 units. Seeing that the market price broke through the 1200 yuan mark, he was insanely happy, and this one directly made a lot of money.

On the other hand, Zhao Dong was also immersed in happiness. As a veteran driver, he had experienced many battles and grabbed 29 cars in total.

"There are too many black technologies in Gou Ri, 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 managed to grab 29 units relying on software.

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

After deducting the cost of 369 yuan, this wave of income was 24000 yuan. He felt that he was doing well again, and he was stupefied again.

"Aren't you still grabbing that fart?"

The girlfriend is dissatisfied.

"It's different this time. I will ship as soon as I get it, and I will never stock up."

Zhao Dong and his girlfriend explained.

"Can't you just work hard? Can you get rich off of it? When are we going to be able to afford our own homes?"

The girlfriend said hoarsely.

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

"Give me another chance, okay?"

Zhao Dong panicked, wiping his girlfriend's tears, feeling a dull pain in his heart, doesn't he want to buy a house?
Is this house price something you dare to expect?
……

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

Zhang Nan called to remind him.

"Wei Gang is so hardworking? Can he complete the development plan a month ahead of schedule?"

Chen Heyu said in surprise.

"Boss, Director Wei spends the rest of the day at his work station except for eating and sleeping."

Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"Give Lao Wei a week off and let him have a good rest."

Chen Heyu exhorted.

The international version of Moss intelligent voice is launched, together with the second generation of Moss speakers, they are introduced to the market together. The combination of software and hardware can be called the true sailing of future technology.

However, Pretty Country has a deep foundation in the field of artificial intelligence. It invented the programming language LISP for artificial intelligence research more than 50 years ago, and promoted the development of neural network technology 40 years ago.

At the application level, IBME's "Deep Blue" supercomputer defeated the world champion of Maoxiong Chinese chess; three years ago, Gugou completed the first unmanned car experiment, which symbolized the feasible breakthrough of intelligent transportation.

Chen Heyu is worried that under his stimulation, the beautiful Congress will accelerate the research and development of artificial intelligence. Whether the future technology can always maintain its leading edge is a question worth pondering.

"To speed up the industrial layout, I don't have much time left."

he thought to himself.

Although the research institute had just completed the development of a large project, he still asked Zhang Nan to publish the "Moss Image Processing Technology R&D Plan Form".

This is a new challenge!

Moss went from photo editing, to speech recognition, to image and video understanding, and in just over two years, future technology needs to overcome decades of technology gap, which is not easy.

"Mr. Zhang, we can't stop the recruitment work. We will keep in sync with the HR department to continue digging out cutting-edge talents in face recognition, object detection, semantic segmentation and computer vision. Let Wu Chen lead this project."

Chen Heyu ordered.

Most of the floors of the Changqin Building opposite Jingwei Park are empty, and there is an urgent need for excellent researchers and engineers to fill them.

"Mr. Chen, domestic experts in related fields are basically in our company, and the academicians of those research institutes are really hard to find.

Before, they were all warned by the higher-ups that if Mr. Jiang from the PR Department hadn't stepped forward, the company would have been doomed. "

Zhang Nan wondered, and implicitly expressed that this kind of behavior was too hateful.

"Shouldn't foreign research institutes be left alone? Don't worry about money, time is more precious, and you can earn money when you lose it."

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. The reason why this group of people chose the beautiful country is nothing more than a higher salary and a more comfortable working environment.

He can provide all of these.

Before Musk makes a move, let’s take a drastic action and get all the corresponding R&D engineers under his command.

Future Technology's expected revenue in 2014 is at least US$30 billion, so don't worry about labor costs, he can afford it.

After the conference call, he picked up the documents, left the office, and walked downstairs.

After the new year, Shanhai Film and Television's New Year kick-off meeting, as the boss, he must attend.

"Mr. Chen!"

"boss!"

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

Chen Heyu waved his hand, motioning everyone to sit down first.

Looking around, there are dozens of people sitting in the dark room, with Lin Shiwei on the left, the general manager of Shanhai.

On the right is Xiao Yang, Shanhai's top commercial director.

Below Lao Xiao is Zhang Chen of Happy Twist, and the heads of other departments are seated in turn. The people in the middle and back area are directors Li Xue, Ma Qiang, Liu Lichang, Da Peng, Guo Fan and Yan Fei.

"Let's start with the finance department."

Chen Heyu said, he wanted to know the performance of Shanhai Film and Television last year.

"Boss, in 2013, the company's main film projects include "Manslaughter 2", "When a Man is in Love", "Charlotte Annoyance", and TV dramas include "The Best of Us", "The Year in a Hurry", the online drama "Soul The Ferry", "Langya Bang", the variety show "The Voice of China", the net profit is 23 billion..."

The chief financial officer turned on the projection screen, pulled out a set of data, and showed it to everyone.

"hiss!"

The knowledgeable people gasped. The figure of 23 billion scared them. Huayi bears the title of the largest private film company, and its net profit last year was only 6.7 million, less than 1/3 of Shanhai.

Hehe, Hua Yi's name has long been out of line.

"Yes, what other projects will be launched this year?"

Chen Heyu asked with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, Director Xiao's "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is expected to be released in the first half of the year, and Guo Fan's "Wandering Star" is in the early stages of preparation..."

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

Ma Qiang is filming "The Lonely and Brilliant God".

Da Peng submits a new script "Sewing Machine Band", intending to avenge his shame.

Yan Fei and Peng Mo partnered for the second time and started the shooting plan of "The Iron Fist of Shame", with Ma Li and Ai Lun as the leading roles and Shen Teng as the supporting role. The box office performance of this film in the previous life was quite good.

Liu Lichang is in charge of the hit IP adaptation "A Slight Smile Is Allure".

Lin Shiwei served as the chief producer of the second season of "The Voice of China". This gold-making masterpiece performed even hotter in the second season.

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

At present, only Li Xue is in the idle stage, and she is exhausted from two consecutive costume dramas, either climbing the snow peak or going to the grassland.

"Director Li, which book do you fancy this year? Ask the IP Operations Department to help you buy it."

Chen Heyu said to her.

"Legend of Miyue. After I read the script, it gave me a new passion for creation. The copyright is in the hands of the company, so I don't need to bother Director Yao."

Li Xue smiled faintly.

Joining Shanhai Film and Television has become the most sensible decision she has made in her career. The funds are sufficient, there is room for development, the scriptwriting team is strong, and there is an IP department that spends money, staring at popular male and female novels all day long. buy it.

Other directors worry about making a new work, she just needs to choose a satisfactory work from the huge script library.

Chen Heyu nodded, looked at Yao Yuan from the IP department, and frowned after listening to his report on work. In the past year, 4 million yuan was spent on version fees alone, which is a waste of money.

"Tomorrow, I will discuss with Lao Zhou and see if Brother Qiao is willing to sell."

He thought for a while and made up his mind.

A meeting lasted three hours before it barely came to an end. Chen Heyu called Lao Xiao, Guo Fan and Lao Hu to go out for dinner together.

It's rare that he didn't take advantage of Lao Hu, so he chose a Cantonese restaurant and offered to treat guests.

"Director Guo, how are you preparing for "The Wandering Planet"?"

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

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

Guo Fan dug out a thick stack of drafts from his bag, thicker than three dictionaries put together.

"Old Guo, are you exaggerating too much?"

Xiao Yang said in surprise, most directors can draw storyboards, and he is no exception, after all, he came from an art department.

A storyboard that perfectly presents movie scenes, plots, and character actions can improve shooting efficiency and save costs.

But Guo Fan's concept drawings are too exaggerated.

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

Guo Fan smiled wryly.

"Wandering Earth" is really a big project. It took him and the art team three months to complete the initial concept map design.

In this regard, it was only with the help of Moss Ai2.0 that the production speed was so fast, and all staff signed a non-disclosure agreement.

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

Chen Heyu took the manuscripts and opened them one by one. They were basically colored conceptual drawings, which made it easier for people to understand intuitively.

Engineering exoskeleton: a mechanical arm device that can provide extra power for people, used for engineering construction, earthquake rescue, etc.;

The cool appearance is full of sense of technology, he put it aside after seeing it, Xiao Yang immediately took it over, and studied it together with Lao Hu.

Door frame robot: It integrates defense and combat, loads machine gun weapon modules and cameras, and some are like variants of security inspection devices;

Astronaut maneuvering devices: including spacesuits, helmets, toolboxes, etc.;
Predator UAV: ​​There are spiral wings on both sides, and the overall shape is like a fighter jet, which can perform real-life reconnaissance and combat functions;
Atmospheric diving suit: equipped with ADS atmospheric pressure diving system, the oxygen tank on the back can supply 50 hours continuously, and the airbag ejection device can be used to escape in an emergency;

Space Elevator Concept Art!
Moon base concept map!
Planetary engine concept drawing!

Conceptual map of lunar nuclear fusion!

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

"Director Guo, with so many scenes, you can't finish filming them. If you don't mind, I'll go to the production crew and work as an assistant director for you."

Old Xiao's eyeballs rolled around, and a ghostly idea popped up.

What happened to the assistant director!
Being able to be a name in the director team of this movie will also be a great resume in the future.

"Brother Xiao, stop entertaining me. It's still unknown when the filming will start."

Guo Fan said with a "hehe" smile.

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

Chen Heyu interrupted him.

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

Lao Xiao struggled.

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

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

"Did you get the Hnsa experts to look at the concept map?"

Chen Heyu ignored Lao Hu, and continued to ask Guo Fan. Hnsa is the abbreviation of Huaguo Space Administration. For the rigor of the movie plot, he specially asked someone to find a relationship for him. He invited three big men in the field of aerospace engineering. Help to modify BUG and optimize the concept map of props.

"This version is all revised."

Guo Fan replied.

What is Hnsa?
This was the inner thoughts of Lao Xiao and Hu Ge. They secretly took out their mobile phones and started Qiandu. The moment they learned the answer, they were numb.

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

"Mr. Chen, I contacted Pengcheng's family, a partner named Yang Xu Studio, for prop design, digital life cards, nuclear weapon detonators, quantum computers 550A and 550C, as well as drone jamming guns, door frame robots, and exoskeleton controls. The design and production of the equipment is handed over to the other party.”

Guo Fan continued to report.

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

"You put this call away. Next time, ask me if the other party is willing to accept an acquisition or raise funds. If the other party is willing, let Zhou Xiaoyu step forward."

Chen Heyu took out an old Zhou's business card from his wallet.

"General Manager of Shanhai Capital, Zhou Xiaoyu."

Guo Fan quickly realized that this should also be a company under Mr. Chen, which is responsible for investment and mergers and acquisitions.

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

Guo Fan agreed.

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

"It's enough to make the preliminary preparations according to the plan. In the future, the technology side will also conduct Ai research on image and video at the same time. I hope it can provide help and shorten the production cycle."

Chen Heyu encouraged.

It's a long road before the first step is taken.

A large number of storyboards, complex sci-fi main scenes, costly studios and setting workshops all required Guo Fan to personally coordinate.

The staff members of "Wandering Earth" rapidly expanded from one person to 200 within a few months.

This includes a professional consulting group, director group, art photography group, props group and more than a dozen small departments, traveling all over the country, working hard for Huaguo's first sci-fi blockbuster.

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

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

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

Second, solve the large scenes that cannot be handled by live-action shooting.

For sci-fi movies, special effects shots for each frame require a lot of rendering time and huge amounts of money.

For the crew, it is a problem.

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

Seeing that the two of them had finished talking, Lao Xiao acted like a rascal.

"Boss, I want too..."

Hu Ge leaned over again.

……

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

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

The configuration has not changed much from before, the biggest difference is that it is equipped with the Moss intelligent voice system, and the rice mobile phone is no longer the only choice for users.

As the news was announced, the sales of Mi 2S dropped immediately. Before Sanxing could be happy, it found that it was about to face more competitors.
