The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 521 Another round of money-burning war

Before we knew it, it was already December.

This week, Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen are in a state of intercommunication. It happens to be the end of the year, and Luo Ming wants to know about Huayue Entertainment's work progress for the whole year. At the same time, he also wants Lin Shuwen to know about Zhuoguang Technology's next core product, Douyin, and its cooperation with the police.

So Luo Ming did not let Lin Shuwen use administrator privileges, but went to work in the interpenetrating state.

Huayue Entertainment has achieved some results this year. Although only two TV series were released, both "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Beginning" have had a great impact on Huayue Entertainment.

Although the performance of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is not as explosive as its predecessor, it is not bad either, and the fan peripherals are selling particularly well. The sales of the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" game are also pretty good, with nearly 50 copies sold. Huayue Entertainment has already decided to make a sequel.

Not to mention "The Beginning", this TV series is a classic example of making a small investment for a big return. The A+ investment produced an S+ effect, which gave Penguin's Misty Theater a good start. At the same time, it also completed the initial binding between Huayue Entertainment and Misty Theater. As a result, Huayue Entertainment's stock price soared, reaching 350 billion.

In addition to these two TV series, Huayue Entertainment also has an S+ version of "Ode to Joy" currently in production.

The first season of "A Longing for Life" co-produced with Mango TV was also very successful, and the results of "Extreme Challenge" co-produced with Shanghai Satellite TV were also good.

The only drawback is that Huayue Entertainment’s movies this year are not very good, but with the TV series and variety shows as excellent examples, it doesn’t matter if the movies are not good.

The development of Huayue Entertainment this year is much better than Luo Ming expected, and Luo Ming is very satisfied with it.

His gaze returned to Zhanguang Technology.

Lin Shuwen is currently checking the internal testing data of Douyin. This is Douyin's second large-scale internal testing.

The first internal test ended in mid-November. During this half month, the technical department fixed a large number of bugs that affected smoothness and improved the stability of the APP operation.

Therefore, this second internal test mainly focused on the UI.

Zhuoguang planned to launch Tik Tok on New Year’s Day in 16.

In a sense, Tik Tok is an upgraded version of Neihan Duanzi and there should be a lot of overlap in the users of Neihan Duanzi.

Now Neihan Duanzi has 1.7 million registered users, over 6000 million monthly active users, and million weekly active users. With such a huge user base, it is naturally impossible for Luo Ming to be the boss.

Zhuoguang Technology has already invited some creators of Neihan Duanzi to join the internal testing of Douyin.

These content creators have already told their fans how fun TikTok is, and now many users in Neihan Duanzi are looking forward to the launch of TikTok.

In addition to TikTok, the cooperation between Zhuoguang Technology and the police has also been fully launched.

After the deployment package was completed, Tong Mingwei sent a technical team to assist the police in installing the deployment package of the Zhuoguang Technology image recognition algorithm on the Skynet system at several important locations in Shanghai.

This is the first step, and there will be more cooperation between the two sides in the future.

Only after this step is completed, Zhuoguang Technology can start considering making money from image recognition algorithms.

The first step is to directly sell some image recognition algorithms to major mobile phone manufacturers.

As we all know, what these mobile phone manufacturers like most is the camera of their mobile phones.

There is no doubt that Zhuoguang Technology's image recognition technology can improve the camera accuracy of these mobile phone manufacturers, and selling the relevant technology to them will definitely make a lot of money.

The next step is to use image recognition algorithms to upgrade their own apps. For example, Kuaishu really needs facial recognition technology.

The final step is naturally to license the patent and earn patent fees.

It just so happened that Tong Mingwei had been passing the buck for so long that these research companies had become impatient.

If Zhuoguang Technology's image recognition algorithm is not put on sale, it will probably cause dissatisfaction among some people.

Therefore, after Xiaoguang's sales stabilized, Tong Mingwei began to contact major mobile phone manufacturers.

However, what the people at Zhuoguang Technology did not expect was that they had just helped the police complete the upgrade of Skynet in several important locations in Shanghai, which was a great help.

The police caught a big fish among passengers transferring at the airport in Shanghai with the help of facial recognition technology from Zhanguang Technology.

The blazing facial recognition technology directly locked onto this guy from among countless people. Even if he had plastic surgery and obtained a fake identity, it was of no use.

As a result, Zhuoguang Technology was commended by the police. This commendation has far more political significance than practical significance and is of great help to Zhuoguang Technology's corporate image.

The news that Zhuoguang Technology received commendation from the police soon spread to the ears of various companies.

It was only then that they realized that Zhuoguang Technology had actually been selling their image recognition algorithms for a long time, and the first partner was actually the police, which caught these companies off guard.

But before they could react, Tong Mingwei announced that Zhuoguang Technology would cooperate with four mobile phone manufacturers, Blue Factory, Green Factory, Huawei, and Xiaomi, to jointly develop new mobile phone camera modules.

Now even Alibaba doesn't dare to act rashly.

However, this was not the end. Not long after, news came that the sales of Xiaoguang, the sweeping robot produced by Zhuoguang Technology, had skyrocketed.

Xiaoguang Technology received an award from the police. In the eyes of many netizens, the police recognized Xiaoguang Technology's image recognition algorithm. If the police recognized something, then its security must be impeccable. So why not buy it right away? As a result, Xiaoguang's sales experienced another rapid increase.

When the employees of Zhuoguang Technology discovered that the order volume on the online shopping platform began to increase rapidly, they immediately reported the situation to Li Yan.

Li Yan was a little confused when she heard this. The company's second wave of promotion plan had not yet started! How did the sales go up?

Li Yan hesitated for a moment and reported the news to Lin Shuwen, who was in the men's room.

Lin Shuwen was not surprised to hear this, because when Zhuoguang Technology received a commendation from the police, Lin Shuwen guessed that a butterfly effect would occur, thereby boosting Xiaoguang's sales.

And it's not just the police's commendation. Today, when Lin Shuwen came to the company, she heard some employees say that his daughter bought a sweeping robot for the family, and said that this sweeping robot is much more useful than the community security guard.

When Lin Shuwen heard the employees' conversation, she immediately knew that the sweeping robot he purchased was their own product, and there should not be another sweeping robot on the market that could make property owners feel more at ease than the property security guard.

Lin Shuwen casually told Li Yan what she had seen and heard.

Li Yan also remembered after hearing this. She also heard some people discussing Xiaoguang.

From this we can see that Xiaoguang is really popular. Now it is not just a sweeping robot, but a new cultural symbol.

Xiaoguang's success made everyone in the company very happy.

After obtaining Luo Ming's consent, Lin Shuwen also distributed a wave of benefits to employees, doubling all subsidies for December, which amounted to nearly 12 yuan.

Tong Mingwei was also very happy at this moment. Although he was not fully responsible for this sweeping robot, the image recognition algorithm in the sweeping robot was developed bit by bit by him and Zhou Haolan.

Tong Mingwei’s biggest dream is to make his own artificial intelligence robot. A sweeping robot can also be considered a robot. This makes Tong Mingwei feel like a small part of his long-cherished wish has been fulfilled.

Now Tong Mingwei feels more and more that it was right for him not to inherit Huayue Entertainment but to work at Zhuoguang Entertainment.

If I really stayed in Huayue Entertainment, I probably would never have the chance to come into contact with these things in my life.

On the other hand, during his time at Zhuoguang Technology, he was exposed to big data. The company also spent a lot of money to build a large AI model and was willing to spend money to feed it.

Tong Mingwei believes that he has the opportunity to realize his dream at Zhuoguang Technology.

From now on, as long as he concentrates on his product research and development and doesn't get disturbed by other trivial matters, he will be successful one day.

Moreover, the income that Zhanguang Technology brought him was not low.

Now Zhuoguang Technology has produced another popular product, and the subsequently released Douyin also has great potential. Even Tong Mingwei himself has been attracted by this short video APP.

It is certain that TikTok will have over 5 million registered users. The key is how many it can reach in the end. If it can break through million registered users, then Zhuoguang Technology will be the fourth Internet giant.

Once listed, the market value of Zhuoguang Technology is estimated to rank among the top ten companies in China.

You should know that there are several state-owned companies in the top ten. These companies are directly linked to people's livelihood. Except for these few, those that can enter the top ten are real giants.

When the company went public, Tong Mingwei felt that it should be easy to earn one or two small goals as long as he bought some original shares.

The week passed quickly, and on Monday, December 2015, 12, Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen boarded a plane to the capital together. Li Yan and Chen Sichu naturally also went with them.

This time they went to the capital to obtain the naming rights of the Spring Festival Gala.

Originally, Rong Mu was supposed to go, but who knew that the businessmen in the Yangtze River Delta organized a charity auction and Luo Ming and his friends were also invited.

Luo Ming didn't like this kind of occasion very much, so he just threw the matter to Rong Mu. He and Lin Shuwen flew to the capital to participate in the competition for the naming rights of this year's Spring Festival Gala.

The programs and talent selection for the Spring Festival Gala basically begin in September, and stage preparation and rehearsals begin after New Year's Day.

Therefore, the auction of the naming rights of the Spring Festival Gala usually starts from late November to early December.

This is to allow the program team to obtain the sponsorship fee earlier so that they can prepare for the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

A car had already been arranged in the imperial capital, and as soon as Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen got off the plane, someone came to pick them up.

Along the way, Luo Ming saw many delivery guys and cars with Didi Chuxing logos on them.

Suddenly, Luo Ming noticed something familiar.

"parking!"

The driver immediately pulled over upon hearing this.

Luo Ming opened the car door and walked out, confirming that he was not mistaken.
