Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

Chapter 140 Mr. Lei, We Shouldn't Be Enemies
The next day.

After breakfast, Chen Heyu got in the car and headed to the main press center of the Huaguo Conference Building, which is also the largest convention and exhibition area in Yancheng. Every new product launch event of Rice and Huayao mobile phones will be held here.

The Maybach drove slowly to the venue.

Zhang Nan waited at the door, saw him get off the car, smiled and said: "Boss, all departments are ready, I checked the process again to make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Go in first, today you and Zhou Zi are the protagonists, you must behave well."

Chen Heyu nodded, and walked inside.

This is the most important press conference for Future Technology, and the company attaches great importance to it, with multiple departments working together to perform their duties.

The human resources, marketing, and operation departments adjusted the audio, lighting and curtain equipment of the venue time and time again, confirmed that the information on the invitation letter was correct, and also cooperated with the administrative department to build the venue and transport materials. Everything was in order.

"Boss, Lao Zhou and I are just a foil, and Moss is the well-deserved protagonist."

Zhang Nan said with a smile.

She was dressed in a beige casual suit and light-colored leather shoes, with a relaxed posture, which made Chen Heyu instantly understand that today's host should be Zhou Zi.

As the CFO of Future Technology and the President of the Overseas Business Department, Zhou Zi basically flew in the sky every day during the six months he took office, maintaining the rhythm of meeting ten partners a day, paving the way for the release of the international version of Moss speakers.

There are not a few overseas sales channels that are invited, and they are all the results of Zhou Zi's hard work.

Online platforms, including Amazon, eBay and Newegg;

Offline channels, mainly Best Buy, the largest electronic product chain supermarket in the beautiful country, operating speakers, home theater, TV and smart phone products, as well as two large retailers, Walmart and Target;
Six delegations have already been seated at the venue.

In addition, several top-level venture capital institutions were also invited, and they were basically the behind-the-scenes funders of the channel providers.

Zhou Zi can quickly open up sales channels, on the one hand, with his excellent business negotiation and resource management skills, on the other hand, his work experience at Goldman Sachs and DES is also a bonus.

When he was about to enter the venue, Rebs from Rice happened to come over.

Lei Jun looked at him with a complicated expression. In just one year, Chen Heyu's status skyrocketed. Relying on the Moss intelligent system, he firmly controlled the Huaguo mobile phone market.

"Mr. Chen, it's been a long time since I've had coffee at my place."

Lei Jun cheered up and joked with a smile.

"I want to go, but I'm afraid Mr. Lei won't welcome you."

Chen Heyu held each other's hand and fought each other aggressively.

During this period of time, the sales of rice dropped sharply. After experiencing the joy of being a leader, he fell out of the top five again, which gave Lei Jun a huge psychological gap.

"Mr. Chen likes to joke. As long as you want to come, the door of Dami is always open for you. Recently, I bought a few packs of rare coffee beans. You are welcome anytime."

Lei Jun talked and laughed happily, his heart was depressed, his face was calm, and he still looked chic and at ease.

When Chen Heyu saw this, he couldn't help admiring him. How could it be easy for someone who has been in the Internet and business world for nearly 30 years.

While the two were exchanging greetings, Park Changcan and his assistant got out of a luxury car. After seeing Chen Heyu and Lei Jun, he trotted over immediately.

"Boss Lei, we shouldn't be enemies, that one is."

Chen Heyu smiled lightly, and pouted in the direction of Park Changcan.

"Then you are still choking the rice and letting other manufacturers besiege me?"

Rebus smiled wryly in his heart, but said nothing.

"Anning Hase, Mr. Chen, it's the first time we meet, you are so young and handsome."

Park Changcan bowed his waist and greeted him with a smile.

"you are?"

Chen Heyu asked knowingly.

Lei Jun shook his head when he saw his bad expression, thinking about what Chen Heyu said just now.

Sanxing is involved in multiple fields such as semiconductors, mobile phones, TVs, and home appliances. Its assets exceed one trillion yuan, and it can also rank among the top [-] companies in the world. It is a real capital giant.

Taking Sanxing as an opponent, I don't know if it is young and ignorant, or young and vigorous?

"Mr. Chen, I'm Park Changcan, the person in charge of Sanxing Dahua District. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Park Changcan took the initiative to introduce, holding Chen Heyu's hand, but he was reluctant to let go.

There is no way, the market share of the mobile phone business can no longer decline, otherwise his position will be unstable.

"Mr. Chen, Sanxing has great sincerity in cooperating with Moss IQ Voice System. Can you consider it? The price is not a problem, I can give you an extra 20% of the fee."

Park Changchan asked.

In the past, small bosses of software companies like Chen Heyu were too lazy to talk to him, but now he can only bow down.

"President Park, it's easy to talk about. We'll talk after the meeting."

Chen Heyu said vaguely, neither refusing nor agreeing.

Lei Jun was a little confused, it wasn't you who said just now, you wanted to treat Sanxing as an enemy, and within 2 minutes of turning your head, you had a fierce fight with the opponent.

The three of them walked into the venue together, and the staff led them to the first row.

"Mr. Chen, I'm Cai Zhen of the Kupai mobile phone, Mo Siai is really the light of China..."

"Boss Chen, I'm Shang Zhi from HOC's mobile phone business line..."

"Mr. Chen, I'm Yu Dong from Huayao Mobile, just call me Lao Yu..."

After Chen Heyu approached, a group of bigwigs got up and signaled one after another, their attitudes were extremely enthusiastic, and they invited him to drink tea, play golf, play football, etc.

"There is a chance, definitely."

Chen Heyu greeted each one skillfully before sitting down.

First, the presidents and vice presidents of the major mobile phone brands, as well as the leaders of the district, the general manager of the venture capital institution, and the person in charge of overseas distribution channels were excluded.

The last few rows are experts and scholars in the field of artificial intelligence, journalists, media and fans.

Before the press conference started, the people below started whispering.

"Future technology, is it too big to play today?"

"Isn't it normal for a software company with a valuation of hundreds of billions of dollars to have this ostentation? It's rare."

"In the row in front, there are so many foreigners, who are they?"

"Purchasing manager of Best Buy and Walmart, I just took a picture."

"The Moss international edition looks like it's going to be an instant hit. Look at the journalists from Bloomberg and CNET. There's no shortage of financial and technology media."

"..."

Until 10:[-], an electronic voice suddenly sounded: "Dear guests and friends, welcome to the Future Technology New Product Launch."

"This is Moss!"

People who are familiar with future technology products are discussing in low voices.

"Hi everyone, I'm Zhou Zi, the person in charge of the Overseas Business Department of Future Technology, and I'm hosting this press conference today."

Zhou Zi, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked straight onto the stage and talked to everyone.

"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for your support and attention to our company. Today, two products are launched.

In the past year, Moss Research Institute has finally completed the development of the international version of Moss Intelligent Voice through continuous efforts and research, which currently supports three languages: English, Gallic Chicken and Maoxiong.

Moss, Tell me what you can do? (Moss, tell me what is your function?)"

In the last sentence, Zhou Zi used English.

"Hello everyone, I am Mos AI voice system. (Hello everyone, I am Mos AI voice system).

I mainly have six functional modules:
First, natural language understanding: analyze your voice clips and respond accurately. You can use a lot of voice training to make me more familiar with your dialect and thinking mode;

Second, voice commands: Respond to your voice commands, such as making calls and sending text messages for you.

Third, role simulator: In terms of basic functions, I can also play 88 professional roles to share your studies, work affairs, and even emotional and psychological counseling;

Fourth, smart housekeeper: link to other smart homes on the APP side, use voice to wake up;

fifth,……"

Moss' answer, heard from the sixteen speakers in the venue, was logical and orderly.

"88 types of characters?"

"Why are there only 16 domestic versions?"

"Is this considered discrimination? I didn't expect that Future Technology would do such a disgusting thing!"

Listening to the discussion in the audience, Zhou Zi didn't panic at all, as expected.

He continued to talk on his own, introducing the details of the functions of the Moss intelligent voice system, and giving demonstrations one by one.

"Everyone must be curious about the price of the international version? What is the price of such a formidable product?"

Zhou Zi smiled and sold a trick.

The price of the domestic version of Moss Smart Voice is not clearly marked. If you want to experience the corresponding service, there are two channels. One is to choose a Moss speaker, and the other is to buy a mobile phone equipped with a groping system.

Additional costs are more than 100 yuan.

"The download price of the Moss Smart Voice APP is $30, and the annual card fee for each character ranges from $20 to $100."

After Zhou Zi paused for a moment, he directly quoted the overseas price.

high!
expensive!
pit!
Chen Heyu sat under the stage, smiled lightly, went to the beautiful country to make money, and didn't need to save money for the other party.

Is this price expensive?

The aunt of the beautiful country sweeping the street, it's just a morning's salary.

"Next, I would like to introduce the second new product of Future Technology, the second-generation smart speaker equipped with the international version system. Its main functions include controlling smart homes, setting alarm clocks and calculators, listening to podcasts and audiobooks, and listening to music...

Perfectly compatible with 88 roles, it acts as the user's life and work assistant.

$129 each…”

Zhou Zi took out an orange second-generation speaker, introduced it, and talked with Moss to demonstrate the core functions.

The domestic media reporters took a deep breath. Compared with the domestic version, the price of Future Technology is doubled.

"Sorry, please allow me to interrupt you. As far as I know, the price of the second-generation Moss smart speaker in China is 369 yuan, which is 60 dollars after conversion. Why is the price of the beautiful country 129 dollars?"

The reporter of "Fortune" magazine stood up abruptly and looked at Zhou Zidao aggressively.

“That’s a great question, there are many factors that affect pricing, market demand, supply, costs, margins and competition are among them.

The research and development of Moss's international version is a severe test for thousands of researchers. From this point of view, the development cost is much higher than that of the domestic version.

In addition, hardware costs cannot be ignored. In order to process and train huge data sets and models, large-capacity high-speed memory is required;

In order to accelerate deep learning calculations, chips with high performance and energy efficiency are also indispensable;
I won’t go into details about GPU and CPU, but I want to tell you that future technology investment in the field of artificial intelligence will not be online. Only labor costs per year, our expenditure is more than 1 million U.S. dollars!

Do you still find it expensive, sir? "

Zhou Zi reasoned and argued, leaving the other party speechless. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.

It is true that the research and development cost of future technology is high, but with Zhou Zi's mouth, no one can tell the truth from the fake.

"Mr. Zhou, I would like to ask, the rapid development of AI will obviously have an impact on some repetitive and standardized work. Who will bear the consequences?"

A domestic media reporter seized the opportunity and asked.

"At this point, I need to admit that there is a possibility.

But AI will also create new occupations and industries, such as the research, development, maintenance and application of AI technology.

As a tool and technical means, AI does not just destroy old things blindly, but can also generate new opportunities. "

Zhou Zi thought for a while, and said ambiguously.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm a reporter from Electronics World, and I want to know about your company's next research and development direction..."

"Mr. Zhou, can you talk about the Moss AI Painting Alliance? Is this kind of behavior of Future Technology a monopoly..."

"..."

During the reporter's Q&A session, there were all kinds of tricky and harsh questions, but Zhou Zi resolved them one by one.

Zhou Zi's performance was noticed by the bosses of the major companies, showing admiration, and many people even tried to poach the wall.

After Zhou Zi came down, Zhang Nan took his place on the stage to share the development history of future technology, the attitude towards the development of Ai intelligence, and the company's outlook for the new year.

Then, there is a podium for leaders in the region, where some industry leaders share their experience.

By this time, the press conference had come to an end.

"Leave the rest to you, I'll go first."

Chen Heyu said to Zhang Nan.

"Boss, do you still need to see Park Changcan from Sanxing?"

Zhang Nan reminded in a low voice.

"You go and deal with it. For the time being, I don't plan to cooperate with the other party. I was fooling him just now at the door."

Chen Heyu smirked.

"It's easy to understand, don't worry."

Zhang Nan nodded and agreed.

Park Changcan has been staring at Chen Heyu, seeing him getting up and about to leave, he quickly got up and chased him.

"Mr. Park, our Mr. Chen is tired today, so we won't see any customers for the time being."

Zhang Nan stopped him with a smile.

"I have an appointment with Mr. Chen."

Park Changcan is in a hurry.

"Sorry, there is no such item on Mr. Chen's itinerary."

Zhang Nan still smiled, unmoved.

Outside.

As soon as Chen Heyu left the venue, Rebus chased him out.
"Mr. Chen, is there a time? Have a cup of tea together."

Lei Jun grinned.

The appearance of the other party reminded Chen Heyu of the scene when they were drinking tea and chatting together by the lakeside of Hangzhou when they attended the Internet conference.

"Boss Lei invites you, but I have to squeeze in even if I don't have time."

Chen Heyu said with a smile, Zhao Laomo waved, motioning for him to drive over.

"How about going to my house?"

Chen Heyu suggested that his small yard has a good environment and strong privacy.

"Mr. Chen bought a house in Yancheng? Then I have to help you?"

Rebs was surprised.

The two had their own ghosts, got into the car, and drove towards Chen Heyu's courtyard.
