Rebirth 08: Rise from copycat phones

Chapter 271: Zhiyun Conference Like a Global Technology Summit

June 21st is the summer solstice.

Shenzhen Qianshan International Conference Center once again welcomed a large number of media personnel, not only domestic media, but also a large number of heavyweight media from various countries overseas.

There are more than ten TV broadcast vehicles in front of the square, so that the relevant information from the press conference can be transmitted back and broadcast as soon as possible.

The news worth reporting is not just the core of the press conference. Zhiyun's new generation of products can also reveal a lot of other news.

Because every year there are a large number of business tycoons, bosses of technology companies, and corporate executives who come to attend Zhiyun’s summer flagship phone launch conference. The interviews with these people alone are enough to become heavyweight content and be reported.

It is strange to say, perhaps because when Zhiyun Group first held its summer press conference, it invited a large number of technology tycoons and media from all over the world. Before and after the annual press conference, a large number of bosses or executives of major business companies would be interviewed, and then express their own opinions and promote their own products and businesses.

At the same time, Zhiyun’s summer conference is undoubtedly the most watched and influential technology event of the year in the world.

Not only will ordinary news media report on it, but major media in various countries will also make focused reports.

Putting aside the Zhiyun phone itself, the attention and influence of the press conference itself are huge, which has also influenced some bosses or executives of technology companies. They are very keen to participate in the annual Zhiyun flagship phone press conference and take the opportunity to be interviewed, make some comments about themselves and their companies, and promote their own products or services to global media.

Zhiyun Technology's summer flagship phone launch conference has developed into a global annual technology summit.

It is also the most watched technology summit.

Its influence is not limited to the technology circle, but will also expand to the social circle.

Entertainment industry events like the Oscars and even summits of major countries are actually not as good as Zhiyun’s summer press conference.

In the few days before and after the Zhiyun conference in June every year, various other activities that rely on publicity to promote, as well as some celebrity hype, movie release promotion, other companies launching new products, etc. will tacitly stop for a few days!

Otherwise, it would definitely be drowned in the overwhelming news of Zhiyun's press conference, and not even a single wave would be created.

In the past few days, no news can withstand the popularity of Zhiyun's press conference.

This will attract more major technology companies to participate in Zhiyun's press conference.

By noon, a large number of heavyweights who had come to attend the press conference had already gathered in the conference center, and a large number of media reporters also seized the opportunity to conduct interviews everywhere.

Musk, the boss of Tesla and Space Exploration Company, who came all the way from the United States to attend the press conference, was surrounded by more than a dozen media reporters for interviews.

One of the dark-haired reporters asked, "Musk, please tell me what you think of Xu Shenxue?"

"Xu Shenxue is the most innovative corporate executive I have ever seen. Few people are as successful as him, yet still full of curiosity and drive to explore new technologies and the starry sky!"

Another reporter asked: "Xu Shenxue released the Hailan SEV last month, and has received more than 50,000 pre-orders worldwide. What do you think? Also, when will Tesla be able to launch an autonomous driving version?"

Musk said: "I also watched the press conference at that time. It was an impressive car. The development of our Tesla's automatic assisted driving technology is going very smoothly. If everything goes well, maybe we will launch it to the market by the end of the year. Believe me, our Tesla's automatic assisted driving technology will not disappoint you!"

Then another reporter asked: "Can you share with us the development progress of the Falcon 9 rocket? I heard that you are conducting experiments on reusable rockets recently. When will it be successful?"

"And we have also received news that Nanmen Aerospace has previously attempted to conduct an offshore recovery test, but has not been successful so far. What do you think of rocket offshore recovery? Can it become the next important field in the aerospace industry?"

Musk said with a smile: "The development progress and commercial launch progress of my Falcon 9 rocket are very smooth. We have launched seven times this year, all of which have been successful. In the reusable test, we have successfully achieved a vertical takeoff and recovery test at an altitude of 100 meters in April, and will conduct a vertical takeoff and recovery test at an altitude of 100,000 meters next month."

"I have great confidence in our R&D team. The test will most likely be successful. If it succeeds, perhaps by next year, we will put the recovered rocket into commercial launches to further reduce the launch cost of the rocket."

"I personally think that offshore recycling technology is a very promising technology. This technology can significantly save fuel during the recycling phase, which means that more fuel can be used to transport goods, which can effectively increase the carrying capacity of low-Earth orbit!"

"Our company is also conducting relevant research. Maybe next year or so, you will be able to see us conducting relevant experiments!"

When Musk was being interviewed by reporters, Sergey Brin, one of the founders of Google, was surrounded by a group of media on the other side.

And the issues that the media are concerned about are obviously not what Brin is willing to talk about.

"How is the artificial intelligence project of GOOG going? When can we see GOOG's artificial intelligence?"

At the beginning, a reporter asked this sharp and somewhat embarrassing question.

AI!

Brin felt helpless when he heard this question, because since Zhiyun Group launched artificial intelligence two years ago, Google, as one of the technology giants, immediately followed up and carried out a large-scale expansion of the existing artificial intelligence research and development team. In the past two years, billions of dollars have been spent on research and development alone. However, the results cannot be said to be zero, but they are very average.

If we want to develop mature artificial intelligence technology like Zhiyun, we can only say that it will take time.

Of course, he couldn't say that when facing the interview with the reporter, so he immediately squeezed out a confident look: "Our artificial intelligence team is advancing rapidly and effectively. In the past two years, we have recruited hundreds of top scientists from around the world to conduct research, and have solved more than a thousand different problems in total!"

"As early as April, we had already made an experimental model. After this model test, we are more confident about the future."

As for when mature and usable artificial intelligence can be produced... Brin himself doesn't know.

But the reporter would not let the news go easily, and immediately asked: "As far as I know, your company's test model was offline only three days after it was launched internally. Is there a major technical defect here?"

Bollinger: "That was just an internal test. It is natural to have some problems. Technological innovation and promotion always face many difficulties and challenges, and these challenges will eventually become the driving force of our efforts and continue to move forward on the road to success!"

"I have full confidence in our team of scientists. We have world-class facilities and top talents. Give them some time and they will create miracles!"

Brin would not tell him that the artificial intelligence model launched by their company in April exposed a lot of problems when it was tested on the intranet. It was almost impossible to tell whether it was a perverted artificial intelligence after being slightly affected by negative junk data. It would answer all kinds of negative information, even anti-human information.

And this is actually not the most important thing. What is important is that the big data model based on neural networks they came up with is too stupid...

As for artificial intelligence, we are not afraid of you being bad... This is just a problem of data training, and it can be solved by imposing various restrictions later.

What I’m afraid of is being stupid... For example, answering irrelevant questions and making incomprehensible answers in voice or text chats.

This means that the most basic and core framework technology is not good enough.

This kind of artificial intelligence model cannot be made public, so it was killed after three days of internal online testing. Then, Google's artificial intelligence research project had to start from scratch, building it from the most basic core algorithm.

I'm feeling like I'm dying, so miserable!

When the internal test failed in April, a core algorithm scientist in charge of the project smashed his computer and walked around the office like a madman, yelling, "This is impossible, absolutely impossible. The algorithm is so good, why can't it work? What went wrong?"

How did Zhiyun and his group of perverts do that?

Why can't we do it no matter what?

Why? Are we really not as smart as Zhiyun and his group of perverts?

This is impossible!

In recent months, the artificial intelligence project team in their company has been immersed in a very strange atmosphere.

More than a dozen of the most core scientists in the project team came to work just wandering around, and most of the time they were just in a daze...

Many of them simply don't come to work, calling it working from home, but in fact they stay at home playing games every day, or simply go to parties and drink and have fun every day.

The blow was too hard!
A group of managers in the company, including one of the company's bosses, Sergey Brin, had to coax them one by one, trying to get them to come out as soon as possible and stand up fully to continue to impact the artificial intelligence project.

There is no way not to coax them. There are only so many big names in artificial intelligence these days, and they have been scooped up by Zhiyun in advance. Other companies are also poaching people everywhere, and there is a serious shortage of talents!
Although it seems that ordinary people can say a few words about artificial intelligence these days, in fact, there are not many who can actually participate in research and development, and there are even fewer core scientists who can lead the projects.

Following Zhiyun's footsteps, Google is not the only company that has been making a big splash in artificial intelligence in the past two years. There is also Zhiyun's old rival Apple and other high-tech companies such as Microsoft, Facebook, and even Star and other companies. Even several large Internet companies in China have joined in.

In recent years, artificial intelligence talents, especially senior talents, are in great shortage, and the salaries are extremely high. Moreover, almost every one of them is burdened with very strict non-compete agreements, and the liquidated damages are often millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

It’s not easy to recruit people!

These dozen or so people at Gugou are the top scientists that Gugou has been able to gather. Without them, a group of ordinary engineers would not be able to carry out even routine research and development work.

In the past two months, more than a dozen core leaders of Google's artificial intelligence R&D team have been hit hard and have lost their motivation to work. Other ordinary engineers have also lost their leader and cannot even carry out ordinary R&D work.

However, after more than two months of rest, some people have come out of it and regained their fighting spirit. Some people have also found some potential technical directions during their previous daydreaming.

So a new round of research has begun.

Brin finally solved the team's problems, and finally he breathed a sigh of relief and came to China to attend the annual global high-tech summit "Zhiyun Summer Conference".

By the way, meet up with colleagues, have a chat, and see what new changes and opportunities there are this year.

Every year's Zhiyun conference will bring about a huge change or wave in the field of science and technology. Even companies like Google must always pay attention and follow up in a timely manner.

But this kind of thing naturally does not need to be made public.

In fact, it is not just Google that is struggling with artificial intelligence. Several other companies are in the same situation. It is too difficult and requires a lot of investment.

But everyone still grits their teeth and continues to do it, investing huge amounts of money every year.

While the people from Google were being interviewed, wealthy people from some domestic technology companies were also being interviewed by their respective media reporters. When Lei Jun, the founder of Rice Technology, was interviewed, he talked a lot about their upcoming new generation of mobile phones.

"This year, our new mobile phone will bring people brand new innovations and more extreme cost-effectiveness, the best mobile phone SOC. As for the price... you don't have to wait until the press conference. I can tell you now. Don't doubt or guess. Our new mobile phone is still 1999 yuan."

"We firmly believe that good mobile phones should be affordable for everyone. What we need to do is to lower the prices of high-end mobile phones so that everyone can enjoy the best mobile phone experience!"

"Our press conference will be held in August, and you can come and attend then!"

----

On the other side, domestic operator representatives talked a lot about 4G construction: "We have built a large number of 4G base stations across the country, and have basically achieved coverage in major cities. We are currently continuing to promote the construction of 4G base stations, from major cities to ordinary cities, to small and medium-sized cities, and eventually to rural areas!"

"The future belongs to 4G. With the intensive explosion of 4G smart terminals in China, the number of 4G users in China has grown extremely rapidly. In the past year, the number of 4G users has increased by more than million, and next year we hope that this number can reach million!"

"Our company will continue to work with strategic partners such as Zhiyun to further promote the construction of 4G networks and strive to enable more people to use faster and better 4G networks!"

----

Not far away is Huawei, a domestic mobile phone manufacturer. Their people told reporters: "We are developing and launching a new generation of self-developed SOC chips. This chip will use the advanced 28-nanometer process and a quad-core design. The development is going very smoothly and has been successfully taped out in Zhiyun Microelectronics. Later, we will use this self-developed high-end SOC in our new generation of flagship phones to bring consumers the ultimate experience!"

"Challenging Zhiyun's position in the high-end market? It's too early. As we all know, Zhiyun's strength in the high-end field is very strong, and not everyone can challenge it!"

"A mobile phone manufacturer that does not want to challenge Zhiyun is destined not to be a good mobile phone manufacturer!"

"As an industry benchmark, all mobile phone manufacturers are challenging Zhiyun, including Apple and Sixing. Many other mobile phone manufacturers, including us, are also catching up with Zhiyun. Just like the self-developed chips of our company I just mentioned, we have already targeted the current world-class 28-nanometer process, which is the top mobile phone SOC chip process at present."

"We will always continue to challenge and break through, and ultimately bring better products to consumers!"

On the other hand, Bai Qiwen of Weiku Electronics was also interviewed by reporters. He was more straightforward: "Our new generation flagship phone, Blueplus 5MAX, will be released in August. It will be a high-end phone with full innovation and technological breakthroughs in many aspects. By then, we will bring great surprises to the world."

"For example, fingerprint recognition technology, which everyone is very concerned about, will also be installed in new mobile phones."

"For many hardware, such as SOC, we will use customized chips from the same series and technology architecture as Zhiyun products!"

"Based on the technological breakthrough, we continue to maintain the smoothness of our LAN OS system and the rich and efficient ecological content. We still say that for mobile phones with the same configuration, ours is much smoother than other competing products."

At this point, Bai Qiwen laughed and said, "After all, just like many netizens joked, my eldest brother is Zhiyun."

As he spoke, the journalist friends around him all laughed... You know what, Bai Qiwen really wasn't bragging.

Even ordinary people know that Wecoo Electronics is actually Xu Shenxue's company, and Zhiyun Group also holds approximately 30% of Wecoo Electronics' shares.

Based on the above two points, Zhiyun Group authorized the system and software ecosystem to Weiku Electronics for use. Many people also know that not only the system and ecosystem content, but also many hardware and software technologies can be authorized for use.

Weiku Electronics is actually an enterprise under Xu Shenxue that focuses on the mid- and low-end markets, and is highly related to Zhiyun Group.

Every time Bai Qiwen brings Zhiyun to the booth for his own products, outsiders have nothing to say.

There are many domestic mobile phone manufacturers, but not many of them can accept interviews from a large number of reporters in an occasion like today. Most of them are corporate executives of the current top domestic mobile phone manufacturers.

The main ones are China Unicom and Weco Electronics, in addition to the newly emerging Xiaomi mobile phone.

As for other second- and third-tier domestic mobile phone manufacturers, although some of them are still active in the market, their sales and influence are not good.

Not to mention these second- and third-tier mobile phone manufacturers, even many of the six first-tier domestic mobile phone manufacturers are gradually falling behind.

After reaping the benefits of the wild growth of the domestic smartphone market in the past few years, some companies have shown little follow-up momentum, with sales and market share continuing to decline.

The domestic smartphone market is still undergoing a continuous reshuffle, and not many will be able to survive in the end. It is estimated that there will only be three or four companies.

Of course, Zhiyun doesn’t count!
No one will compare Zhiyun with other domestic mobile phone manufacturers!
In the minds of Chinese people, Zhiyun is unique, even surpassing Fruit and Four-Star. It is the pride of the Chinese people. It is not only a domestic brand, but also a global brand.

In the eyes of overseas people, Zhiyun is also a first-tier leading enterprise that cannot be compared with those regional brands.

Even those who are prejudiced against Zhiyun have to admit that Zhiyun's products are really awesome and absolutely high-end!

Even many die-hard users and fans of Apple products would admit that Zhiyun phones are high-end products and are excellent products that can compete with Apple products... Of course, even if the Zhiyun phone is excellent, they will not use it.

So around the world, we can see many users of Fruit and Zhiyun phones arguing about the pros and cons of each, and often even quarreling.

But at this time, if other mobile phone users sneak in and promote their own mobile phones as better, they will be despised by the users of these two mobile phones: We high-end mobile phone users are arguing, what are you, a second- or third-rate mobile phone user, talking about? Get out of the way!

There is also a chain of contempt among mobile phone product users...

In the domestic market, Zhiyun mobile phone users, especially S series mobile phone users, despise all mobile phone users, including users of fruit phones, four-star phones and all other mobile phone users.

Then the users of the Fruit 4-star phones despise the users of other domestic phone brands. The users of the Bluemax/Weiku phones despise the users of all phone brands except Zhiyun.

Huawei despises users of all mobile phone brands except Zhiyun.

Just look at this contempt chain and you will know that Zhiyun is in a class of its own...

Representatives of some domestic mobile phone manufacturers who are at the lower end of the contempt chain, such as senior executives who have been promoted steadily, looked at their fellow executives who were surrounded by many reporters, and then looked at their own side where there was no one, and they felt somewhat humiliated!

It’s a shame that no one paid attention to me, the head of a second-tier brand, at a technology summit!

We are all assembly factories that rely on Zhiyun Supply Chain for our livelihood. Why should they be superior to us?
It doesn’t make sense!

Then he looked at Bai Qiwen, who was talking to reporters about his new mobile phone, and made a silent decision in his heart.

If I can’t do anything else, then I can only take over the offline market and offline marketing. I don’t believe I can’t do it.

Humph, thirty years... No, three years in the east, three years in the west!

We’ll see in three years!

----

In the conference hall, a large number of senior executives, even bosses and wealthy people from domestic and foreign high-tech companies gathered to be interviewed by media from all over the world.

A large amount of news information is transmitted to all parts of the world every moment.

Especially on the domestic Internet, many online media platforms have basically opened special reports and then reported a large amount of news in a rolling manner.

As time passed, the interview sessions ended one after another, and a group of technology giants entered the venue and took their seats.

In the backstage, Xu Shenxue was making final preparations, memorizing the manuscript in his hands over and over again.

Although Xu Shenxue has held press conferences many times and most of the time he spoke without a script, he did not really speak without a script. The process of the press conference and the introduction of the main selling points still need to follow the process carefully prepared by the marketing department.

Unlike previous press conferences, when Lin Yaxian would always come to accompany him, this year Lin Yaxian is pregnant and her due date is approaching, so it is no longer suitable for her to go out and attend these occasions.

So today Xu Shenxue is alone.

It can’t be said that it was just one person at the time. Secretary Li and Secretary Qian were both here today.

Secretary Li tidied up Xu Shenxue's clothes, then took two steps back and looked at them: "Well, it's fixed now, and it's still as perfect as before!"

After looking around to see if there were any outsiders around, he immediately whispered, "Come on!"

After cleaning up Xu Shenxue, Secretary Li followed the staff out. She would not even go to the audience to watch the show afterwards, but would watch it in the employee passage nearby with some staff members.

She won't allow herself to appear in public, especially in front of the media!

Well, Lin Yaxian wouldn’t allow it either!
Xu Shenxue didn't know how Lin Yaxian talked with these secretaries, but each of these secretaries was a little afraid of Lin Yaxian. They would deliberately coax Lin Yaxian and act according to Lin Yaxian's expression on weekdays.

Xu Shenxue would not interfere too much in this regard. Lin Yaxian is handling it very well now. Everyone is acting within certain rules to avoid trouble.

Secretary Li was being guided by staff to the channel where staff could watch the press conference, and was talking to the secretary of the general manager's office next to him.

However, this secretary in the general manager's office is no longer the charming young girl like the previous secretaries in the general manager's office, but a middle-aged woman in her forties who exudes the aura of a workplace elite.

After the reform, the general manager's office of Liuhe Investment has evolved into an institution similar to a family office, responsible for Xu Shenxue's personal life logistics and many other affairs, as well as some logistical affairs of the family. It is no longer a shelf for vases.

As for business affairs, they are still under the jurisdiction of Dong Jingban as before, and the General Manager's Office has never been responsible for business affairs.

Secretary Li said a few words briefly, and then suddenly said, "Yesterday when I was playing cards with my wife, she asked about the recruitment situation of the General Manager's Office."

After hearing this, the middle-aged woman thought for only two seconds before saying, "I have recently recruited a group of people, but they are still in the pre-profiling stage. Some people's work abilities are still a little lacking. I will make a new round of adjustments later!"

"Please also ask Director Li to report to Madam Xu that the General Manager's Office will concentrate on serving Mr. Xu and his wife's daily logistics, and there will definitely be no trouble!"

Secretary Li said, "Madam also thinks you are capable and that you can be trusted, but the General Manager's Office is a bit special. It mainly works for the family, so you should pay more attention to some things and don't let some messy people in!"

While the two were talking, Xu Shenxue on the other side had already gone to the venue accompanied by staff.

At 3:, the lights in the venue gradually dimmed, and naked-eye D images began to appear on the stage. A promotional short film began to be demonstrated. The protagonist of the animation short film was not a real person, but a white cloud man, jumping up and down and looking very lively.

This little cloud man is a 3D image created by Zhiyun last year. It is made into key pendants, dolls and other small gadgets and is often given to customers or users as small gifts.

It is also sold as a small product, and is quite expensive. A small-sized doll that is 30 cm tall costs more than 300 yuan, while a larger one costs several hundred yuan.

This time, it was demonstrated using naked-eye 3D images.

The short film soon came to an end, the colorful starry sky quickly receded, and finally a slowly rotating white cloud appeared.

Classic Zhiyun LOGO image!

At this time, the lights on the stage came on again, and Xu Shenxue walked slowly up from the side of the stage.

After reaching the small podium on the side, Xu Shenxue said: "Welcome everyone to our Zhiyun summer conference. I am your old friend Xu Shenxue!"

“I know that many of my friends are from all over the world and are very busy. It is not easy for them to take time out to attend our press conference, so I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of many colleagues at Zhiyun!”

"Everyone who comes to our press conference must have expectations, and we never disappoint them!"

“This year is no exception!”

"First of all, please allow me to introduce a new product or service of our company to you!"

"Cloud computer system!"

"Many years ago, the Internet has been swept by waves of cloud computing, and a large number of companies have deployed more computing centers to provide cloud computing resources for major customers!"

"Of course, we at Zhiyun have no interest in this kind of mature industry that has already developed. When we make products, we at Zhiyun never make mature products without innovation, and the same is true for cloud computing!"

"Although we have built numerous data centers and provided cloud computing services to a large number of corporate customers around the world."

"But in our opinion, this is not enough, so we have been thinking, what else can we do with such a huge cloud computing power, besides providing sufficient server resources for enterprises?"

"After a long period of consideration, the cloud computer system became our choice!"

"A cloud computer is a computer that does not require a CPU, a graphics card, or even a hard drive... You only need an Internet cable or WIFI to connect to the Internet, and then you can get the top computing resources through our cloud computer platform, providing a variety of office, entertainment and other functions!"
Cloud computer, a group of people in the audience were a little confused after hearing it.

It is still a bit ahead of its time to talk about cloud computers these days, but the concept is easy to understand. Some industry insiders know as soon as they hear it that this is just a variation of cloud computing.

However, in the past, when major companies talked about cloud computing, they generally referred to server computing resources.

And now Zhiyun seems to be engaged in cloud computing for user terminals.

It seems that Zhiyun is going to increase its layout in the field of cloud computing.
Although Zhiyun Group does not disclose much to the public and ordinary people do not know much about it, people in the industry know that Zhiyun Group has begun to enter the cloud computing network in 10.

In fact, when Zhiyun Group first started to engage in cloud computing, it was for its own use and to supply Weiku Electronics, supply chain manufacturers, and cooperative software manufacturers.

Zhiyun Group seems to be just a company that sells smart terminals, but in fact, there is too much terminal content running on Zhiyun's terminal devices. At all times, a large number of terminal devices are connected to Zhiyun's data centers around the world to download or update various ecological content. At the same time, a large number of software manufacturers publish massive notification information through Zhiyun's underlying information notification system.

Then it also provides cloud storage services... Zhiyun's data centers around the world store large amounts of personal data of hundreds of millions of users, and it also has to keep these data and user terminal devices synchronized and updated.

Zhiyun not only makes terminals, they also provide systems, ecological content and cloud storage.

Therefore, Zhiyun has a huge demand for various data centers. In order to meet the usage needs of users around the world, Zhiyun has established a large number of data centers around the world.

At the same time, Zhiyun Group also developed its own server CPU under the SOP instruction set architecture. In order to promote the development of this server CPU, it started to develop its own servers.

These servers are mass-produced and deployed in the group's data centers around the world. With so many of them, there will naturally be excess computing power to provide to third-party companies.

Therefore, we also developed the cloud computing business which has been very popular in recent years.

The development of cloud computing services is, to a certain extent, also to find a market for one's own server products.

If you sell servers directly, apart from institutional users, no other companies will want your servers with Zhiyun's self-developed SOP instruction set architecture. They are too different from the existing X86 server ecosystem and are very inconvenient for corporate users to use.

So Zhiyun Group just went all out and sold computing power directly...

We develop our own CPUs and servers, and then enter the cloud computing service market, but the enterprise-level cloud computing service market is also quite competitive.

Although Zhiyun is large in scale, to be honest, it is not very professional in this regard... It is a bit of a cross-industry company, so its performance is average. If you say it is bad, it is definitely more successful than many companies.

However, compared with some of the world's giant companies, its business scale is a little behind.

After all, everyone has their own expertise. Zhiyun Group's main business is still to develop various smart terminals. To be honest, we are not very good at providing enterprise services and have no experience.

Well, even though we don’t have any advantages or experience, we have still achieved a scale that is among the top ten in the world.

Given Zhiyun's size, it can usually push forward key businesses. As for whether it can go further and become one of the top three or even the leader in the industry, that depends on its subsequent development.

Because the server-level cloud computing business is not developing well, and if the cloud computing business is not doing well, it will affect its own CPU and server products... and even affect the subsequent CPU research and development and market issues under the domestic X86 architecture.

Therefore, Zhiyun Group started to explore a new approach and began to provide terminal-level cloud computing services.

Of course, it is not aimed at individual users, but at institutional and corporate users.

For example, in educational institutions, when conducting computer teaching, it is entirely possible to purchase cloud computer terminals at a very cheap price, and then obtain cloud computing services in the form of an annual service fee.

The same is true in the corporate office sector.

Compared with purchasing computers directly, this cost is much lower.

And it can be up to you to decide how much you want to spend. As long as you spend the corresponding amount, you can directly transform your cloud computer terminal into a workstation or even a server.

However, Xu Shenxue is not sure whether he can promote this business... It is not easy to develop such a new thing.

Of course, even if it cannot be promoted, there will be no loss, after all, it is just an attempt among many businesses.

Zhiyun Group has many businesses, but not all of them are successful. For example, it previously developed a so-called smart router, but its sales were terrible and it was beaten by a number of domestic professional router manufacturers...

The main reason why this project is still retained is to adapt it to the smart home ecosystem. We no longer expect this business to make money.

At the meeting, Xu Shenxue continued to introduce various aspects of cloud computer services.

Ten minutes later, the first product in the press conference was introduced, and Xu Shenxue introduced several ecological products, including a more interesting four-legged robot dog.

It’s just that the current robot dogs are still relatively mediocre and cannot be compared with the mature robot dogs of later generations. In the eyes of many people, they are still flashy and impractical.

It’s just like the balance bike that has not been released yet, but will be released together with the A series and C series mobile phones at the autumn launch conference.

Zhiyun Group likes to make flashy things like cloud computers, robot dogs, dancing robots, high-end sweeping robots, home smart hosts, balance bikes and other miscellaneous things.

It does seem to be very advanced and eye-catching, but it is actually just so-so when actually used. To put it in an extreme way, it is: completely useless!
However, many project team engineers within Zhiyun Group and Xu Shenxue personally have been enjoying this for a long time, and a number of investors have no objections.

When it comes to high-tech, the point is to have fun… These things may seem useless now, but who can predict what will happen in the future?

Especially for a super large multinational high-tech enterprise like Zhiyun Group, it is very normal to try everything.

We don’t aim for every product to be successful, but as long as one out of dozens of projects is successful, we can get back all our investment.

At the same time, the numerous technologies accumulated from a large number of R&D projects can also be used in many other projects.

This is a process in which quantitative change leads to qualitative change!

After introducing several products in the ecological chain in succession, Xu Shenxue began to introduce the blockbuster product of today's press conference, the S13 mobile phone.

And the Bluetooth headsets that Xu Shenxue also has high hopes for!

From a promotional perspective, Bluetooth headphones actually have more promotional value than S13!
After all, although this year's S13 mobile phone has some innovations, to be honest, they are not that big. The only thing worth mentioning is the -bit system, but this thing is also available on the next door Fruit. As for the PC, it has been available for a long time.

To be honest, it’s not fresh enough, lacks originality, and lacks topic value!

After all, it is just a change in the system, which does not feel intuitive enough... and most ordinary users don’t care whether you are using a 32-bit system or a 64-bit system, as long as the phone is smooth and easy to use.

To exaggerate a little, whether your Zhiyun S13 uses a -bit or -bit chip and system will not affect the purchasing decisions of old S series users who want to upgrade to a new phone or potential new users.

But Bluetooth headsets are different. They can be seen and touched, and their appearance and usage can bring great shock to people.
