After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 137 Surprise
After gaining an in-depth understanding of the discussions and decisions made by these American technology companies at the emergency meeting, Hao Cheng shook his head and felt speechless.

I have a deeper understanding of Western arrogance - you say that this group of people do not value Baiju Technology, that is definitely not the case. As soon as there is a move here, there are emergency meetings and consultations all night long, which are all manifestations of their importance.

However, you say they take it seriously. They didn't investigate at all how Xiaosha operates in China, what the logic is, what Xiaosha is doing now, and to what extent it has achieved it. They just based their decisions on their own assumptions.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to come up with some free trick in order to retain part of the market.

This is actually arrogance deep in the bones.

He always felt that what he saw was everything, what he thought was the truth, and what he did was justice. Even though Xiaosha had become so strong, and they were in emergency consultations and hasty responses, they were unable to change their nature.

"What a pity, we can't get rid of them all at once!"

Hao Cheng was also helpless, as Microsoft was right about one thing - Baiju Technology's current computing power was only enough for domestic use, and the cards were no longer available for purchase. This was a chance for them to catch their breath.

As Hao Cheng expected, the second phase of the Linzhou Computing Center project was probably taken away by a confidential unit. Even Gu Yufeng had no say in the matter. Hao Cheng did not inquire who it was, but it was definitely not a company.

Huawei can get some, but the quantity is limited.

Yu Dong told him clearly: they have no say on next year's share.

Missing card!

These two words will be the challenges that all relevant Chinese companies, including Huawei itself, will face together next year, that is, in 2025.

It has to be said that America's decision - only 18 allies are not subject to supply restrictions - is very accurate, and it hits the Achilles' heel of the entire domestic industry!
No matter how you play it, your total production capacity is limited and there is not enough to share.

"Will it take a year to prepare for this?"

Even when he got home, Hao Cheng was still thinking about this question. What if the production problem still couldn't be solved the year after next? Should he wait any longer? Hao Cheng felt that he couldn't wait any longer.

……

"Okay, you promised me that you would forget about work when you get home and relax. There is always work to be done."

Ning Hui was carrying food to the table as she reminded him, "Keep your word and set an example for Zhenzhen. Zhenzhen, don't you agree?"

"Yes!" Xiao Zhenzhen pinched her waist and said, "If you lie, Dad will become Pinocchio with a long nose!"

"Then do you like long noses?" Hao Cheng scratched Xiao Zhenzhen's nose, and she snorted:
"If you don't like it, then don't let Dad change! Then...if you lie again, I'll make Mom turn into Pinocchio."

"Hao Zhenzhen, your butt is itchy again, isn't it? Sit down quickly and eat!" Ning Hui pretended to glare at little Zhenzhen fiercely, but in return she raised her eyes and made a few funny "lelele" sounds.

The family is as warm as usual, and Hao Cheng is no longer the hard-working slave who gets up early and goes to bed late. In fact, the entire industry has become more conscientious because of the existence of Baiju Technology.

At least now, without two days off a week and annual leave, you simply cannot recruit anyone in Linzhou - why should they work with you, isn't it better for them to start their own micro-business?

Micro-entrepreneurship now has a mature system with a wide variety of services and projects, and is already thriving.

Even Ning Hui was involved in it.

On December 12, their wedding anniversary, Hao Cheng asked Ning Hui what she was doing recently. Ning Hui kept it a secret at the time: "I won't tell you. Wait two days. I have a big surprise for you!"

Later, Hao Chengcai learned that she had quit her job at a travel agency and set up a studio specifically to engage in "micro-entrepreneurship for niche needs."

What is a niche? Everyone has their own understanding, and here at Ninghui, the niche refers to the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled - pregnant women are not considered a niche.

In the past, niche demands had no profit at all due to the small number of users and high development costs.

The accessibility modes adopted by major websites and apps are more about practicing corporate social responsibility. They are not for making money and may even be part of charity.

But with Xiaosha, the situation has changed drastically - small number of users and inability to make profits have become history - because the development cost has become extremely low, only 5% of the past for software, and in the case of hardware reuse, for some special products, only 10% of the past.

"It's not possible to do barrier-free work with a charitable attitude. In many cases, it's just a face-saving project." While eating, Ning Hui talked about this again: "But it's different if you can make a profit. With mutual competition, special groups can get more and better services."

Many people think that such a project should not be profitable, but Ning Hui doesn’t think so:

"No one likes to be given charity. The real prosperity of the industry will not only allow them to integrate into society and become part of the consumption and production system, but also allow them to live with more dignity, rather than being 'annoying' all day long."

Ning Hui did not say "annoying" herself, but a child named Wang Zixi who was "blind due to acquired causes" whom she met at work. She kept asking, "Am I particularly annoying?"

"Do you know?" Ning Hui said:
"In the project we supervised, they used simple video equipment to develop a cane that transmits data to Xiaosha on the phone. Xiaosha can then continuously broadcast the information in the space through voice, and even depict the entire captured image, providing more information for the blind.

"Xiaosha is so powerful. No matter how complicated the scene is, he can describe the key points clearly in three sentences and form a vivid scene in your mind."

Hao Cheng also tried asking Xiaosha to describe the scene in the picture.

Ning Hui had mentioned this project to Hao Cheng before, and Hao Cheng had specially upgraded Xiaosha's professional capabilities in related areas at that time.

However, he himself had never experienced the relevant scenario.

……

"T-junction, green light 18S, vehicles on the left are queued normally, you can pass."

"The step is 10 centimeters, lift your feet!"

"Back three steps, quick... the vehicle on the right is speeding over!"

……

Hao Cheng looked at some of the footage recorded by Ning Hui, even some of the rapid instructions to retreat without giving way to pedestrians at zebra crossings, which made him see the different Xiaosha in the eyes of another group of people.

When we are outside, our eyes are our world. With our eyes open, we feel safe. For a normal person, try crossing a street with your eyes closed. You may not even dare to take a step forward.

"You are my eyes, seeing the world for me." This is what Xiaosha wrote when he described the picture of the sun for Wang Zixi.

"Hubby, the application of Xiaosha is not as poor as you think." Ning Hui said: "And the current Xiaosha has just been exposed, and there are still many places that can be explored."

Hao Cheng knew that Ning Hui was telling him: There was no need to rush about chips or systems, so why bother arguing about who was better.

However, Hao Cheng found something different in it. It can even be said that if it weren't for the materials provided by Ning Hui, he might never have had this perspective -

"T-junction, green light in 18 seconds, vehicles on the left are queueing normally!" Is this the complete information of an intersection? Obviously not!

"The step is 10 centimeters." Is this all the information on the current screen? Not at all!

The most classic one is the final “Three retreats, quick!”

The whole scene seemed to come alive - Hao Cheng's mind even imagined a car whizzing past without slowing down while crossing a zebra crossing.

Fuzzy mathematics is the correspondence between classical mathematics and the fuzzy real world.

Xiaosha, this micro-consciousness model, who knows how it was trained, Xiaosha's perspective and approach seem to have given this corresponding another direction!
"Is this probably the concrete embodiment of the word ''in principle'' in [definite, general, vague, unclear]?"

Unlike fuzzy mathematics, this "probability" is obviously much simpler.

What surprised Hao Cheng even more was that he had been studying the training and improvement of micro-consciousness in late-night classes these days, but he had neglected another direction:
That is the direction of compressing, cropping, and distilling the model to make it smaller and simpler.

Looking back, the world seemed vast, and countless ideas suddenly popped up in Hao Cheng's mind.
