After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 290 Pei Danqing's感动 (Moved/Touched)
[Please do not subscribe if you mind the business aspect.]

After ending his chat with Long Xinyu, Xu Lin sent a message to Pei Danqing.

At this time of night, Pei Danqing was still reading.

Pei Danqing: What?

"Help me sign a contract tomorrow, in Beijing."

"What contract?"

Then Xu Lin explained it to her in more detail.

Aren't you coming to the capital?

"It's just a contract, why go to Beijing? Just sign it for me."

Xu Lin: "By the way, when it comes time to sign your name, 30% of the shares will be yours. Otherwise, if they find out my name later, and my surname is Xu, they'll know it's me at a glance."

"Huh? You're putting it on my head? That's 30% of the shares. I saw on your Weibo that if this company becomes a billion-dollar enterprise, 30% would mean I have 30 billion in my hands? Aren't you afraid something will happen?"

“You are a high-class woman, not one of those inferior women from the lower world. I trust you.”

Sake makes one's face flushed, and wealth stirs the heart.

But in this world, there are good people and bad people; some are greedy for money, and some become enemies because of interests.

As the saying goes, even close brothers should keep clear accounts; when faced with a large sum of money, even your bedmate might pull out a knife in the middle of the night and kill you.

Of course, there are also those who are not interested in money.

Xu Lin trusted Pei Danqing.

These heiresses from wealthy families really aren't interested in money.

Of course, the "daughters of noble families" here are genuine daughters of noble families, not just girls from families with a little money.

The Pei family is a distinguished family that has been passed down since the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty.

"Money is like dirt, don't worry about these details. Besides, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours."

"Oh!"

Pei Danqing was speechless for a moment, but she was deeply moved. She never expected Xu Lin to trust her so much.

At this moment, Pei Danqing was like a general, entrusted with the care of the emperor in a time of crisis.

Historically, entrusting an orphan to another person required immense trust.

Therefore, Pei Danqing's heartfelt sense of mission was unparalleled for a time.

"Then I'll sign my name tomorrow, and I'll cover for you."

"Thanks."

What's there to thank me for between us?

When are you coming to the capital?

"At least next month, I've been pretty busy lately, you know that."

"Ok."

"I have to go now, let's chat again when I have time. Oh, and please give my regards to your great-grandfather."

"Okay, I'll talk to him tomorrow."

Xu Lin didn't reply.

He still has things to do tonight.

Now, all his work is for making money, and the ultimate goal of making money is to develop artificial intelligence.

Xu Lin was unwilling to cooperate with others, otherwise his progress could have been much faster.

Right now, he only needs to say one word and plenty of people will willingly hand over their money.

But the consequence is that Xu Lin has to share the profits with a bunch of scumbags.

He needs to start a company, go public, and make money because capitalists need to share the profits.

No wonder Xu Lin called them scum. In this world, there are hardly any good people who can make it big. Otherwise, how could it be called a cannibalistic society?

So Xu Lin did it himself.

Besides, what's mine is not for others to touch, unless I want to share some of it, like by distributing the formula.

However, Xu Lin cannot delegate the core tasks.

This time, his investment in Feipeng Technology and the three formulas he distributed did not achieve the same level of intelligence in the robots as in his games; they were only slightly inferior.

To put it roughly, the characters in his game have the thinking ability of adults, while the three formulas he applied create characters that are only suitable for ten-year-old children. As for the formula he applied abroad, it would only be suitable for four- or five-year-old children.

Four- or five-year-olds can already run errands, and ten-year-olds are already experiencing puberty.

Currently, Xu Lin has three ways to make money on the account "Young Master Xu".

The first option is to take orders, but there are too few orders, so Xu Lin is rather casual about it.

The second option is software development, which is quite good, as it's a very sustainable way to make money, and the volume is large.

The third option is an investment company, but investments require a period of time, which is now negligible; they won't receive any money for at least six months.

Therefore, developing software is the fastest way to make money.

In terms of software, Xu Lin has three money-making apps: "Men's Guide to Success," a download engine, and an academic browser.

The most profitable one is naturally "The Man's Guide to Success".

Xu Lin checked the number of paying users, which had now reached 16638765.

What is the result of multiplying by 29.9?

More than 4.97 million!

If you include in-game purchases, the total has actually exceeded 600 million.

Moreover, there is currently only one type of item in the store, and Xu Lin has not yet released any others.

Xu Lin also wants to develop a fourth software.

He already had an idea.

This software will focus on AI image and video generation, and it will be generated from real people.

There are already AI-generated images of real people on the market, but they still give people an unreal feeling at first glance.

Xu Lin is the only true person.

Generally speaking, video generation requires the support of large models. This will result in higher quality and more coherent videos, and the characters will also be consistent. They won't be one person here and another person there. In short, it's like making a movie.

However, some opt for a less ideal approach, using smaller models or specific algorithms.

Xu Lin is the kind of person who settles for second best; he doesn't have a large-scale model to support him.

But Xu Lin's abilities can make up for these shortcomings.

Video images can be generated using generative adversarial networks, and Xu Lin also used a similar network model.

This is his latest model.

This model, which we'll tentatively name the "All Things Generation Model," is on the same level as the Self-Thinking Model and the Gradient Life Model.

If this were written as a paper, it would definitely cause a sensation in the artificial intelligence community, but Xu Lin is too lazy to write a paper, and he's not in a hurry to receive an award.

He already has two papers pending, so there's no need for him to continue trying to prove himself.

His achievements speak for themselves. Don't believe me? Go read "The Man's Guide to Success" yourself.

At midnight, Xu Lin's 'Generation of All Things' software was officially launched on his personal website.

The software "Everything Generates" is designed for developers; in other words, it's a work-related application.

A monthly package costs 50 yuan.

50 yuan is definitely too expensive for some people, but this is for developers. If you think it's too expensive, you're just an amateur. Just find some free AI.

Just like academic browsers, this thing is for people who need to write papers. If you don't need to write papers, then this software has nothing to do with you.

Weibo: My newly developed software for generating everything has been launched. This software can be used to generate real-life images and videos for developers to use. It is the same real person in "The Man's Guide to Success". My strength is self-evident. This software is based on my newly developed model for generating everything. The model for generating everything is the third type of model, which is on par with my self-thinking model and gradient life model. It is used for video and image generation.

"If it's listed alongside self-thinking models, how powerful must this model be?"

"Actually, you can already tell how powerful this thing is from 'The Man's Guide to Success.' It can create a real person without any trace of AI, just like in a movie!"

"Pure curiosity, the self-thinking model and the model of the generation of all things are already very powerful, so what about the gradient life model?"

"The gradient life model involves the evolution of artificial intelligence. I'm really afraid that Young Master Xu will create an intelligent life form. Currently, there is no news of this in the world. Perhaps only Young Master Xu can do it."

"Intelligent life—I both look forward to it and fear it!"

"This software that generates everything costs 50 yuan? Isn't that a bit expensive? It costs 600 yuan a year. Other paid AI programs only cost 10 yuan, or at most 30 yuan."

"If you think it's too expensive, then don't use it. This software is aimed at developers. Kid, if you think it's too expensive, it proves you're not the target user. What real developer would care about 50 yuan a month?"

"50 is already very reasonable. For Mr. Xu's inventions, let's not forget that he's already very approachable. If you put those capitalists around, you'd know how they would exploit their users."

Meanwhile, developers were much more straightforward; programmers downloaded the software and paid for it without much thought.

It's just scanning a QR code, 50 yuan a month, while a McDonald's meal costs several tens of yuan.

However, most people remained silent; only a very small minority complained about the price. Those who paid immediately opened the input box for their criteria.

This is software that generates real-life images.

time flies.

Two hours later, various feedback emerged.

"Young Master Xu's software is amazing! It's unbeatable in both image and video generation. I've used all the large model software on the market, and none of them are as powerful as this one!"

"Tell me more, and let's see the feedback. How's the video being generated?"

"Just like when you shoot or watch a video, for example, I just typed: generate a video of a pretty girl playing with a cat, and it generated one for me, just like a video shot by a real person. You can't see any AI feeling at all. I sent it to my work group, and none of them could tell that it was generated by AI."

"That's incredible? Have I stumbled upon a business opportunity?"

"I'm a short drama creator, guess what I just discovered?"

"The software is incredibly powerful, I rave about it! It's just that it can't generate explicit videos. Isn't Mr. Xu being too thoughtful? It's a bit of a shame."

"I was deeply impressed by the one-hour 'Generate Everything' feature. I feel that artificial intelligence is developing too fast. I have been in the development field for more than ten years. Through my own efforts, I now have a net worth of over 100 million yuan. I can say that I have done very well in the field. I also believe that I have always been at the forefront of the times and have never fallen behind. But since Mr. Xu came out, I feel more and more insecure and feel a bit out of touch with the times."

While the internet was buzzing with discussions about the "Generate Everything" software, Xu Lin continued to busy himself with his own affairs.

Because many people will use the "All Things Generate" feature later, which could lead to too much junk information affecting its performance.

Therefore, Xu Lin created a self-repair model.

This model treats AI as a human body. When the human body gets sick, humans can only repair themselves through rest, medication, or surgery.

Similarly, AI will become increasingly garbage due to the accumulation of various information.

Therefore, Xu Lin added a self-repair model, which is equivalent to adding a program in the creation of everything that is dedicated to functions such as antivirus and junk file removal. In this way, some minor problems will be fixed by itself, while major problems will naturally be handled by Xu Lin.

At 3:00 AM, Xu Lin checked the number of monthly subscribers. Three hours had passed, and the number of monthly subscribers for "All Things Generate" had reached 65621. And that was only three hours later.

More than three million yuan just slipped into my hands like that.

Clearly, the future looks promising.

"go to bed!"

Silent all night.

Xu Lin set an alarm clock and woke up at seven in the morning.

Pei Danqing was there even earlier than him.

I met Long Xinyu at 10 a.m., which was quite early.

Pei Danqing took leave this morning.

She dressed simply, wearing a turtleneck sweater, trousers, and a trench coat, with a black inner layer and a white trench coat.

It's quite cold in Beijing today.

She sent Xu Lin a screenshot of the temperature; it turned out that the highest temperature during the day was only in the single digits.

It's a bit better here in Jiangdu; the temperature is around 10 degrees Celsius during the day.

Xu Lin: "I've prepared the contract documents. You can take them to print in two copies later."

"I'll go print it later."

Around 9 a.m., Pei Danqing arrived at the location that Xu Lin and Long Xinyu had agreed upon.

A very quiet teahouse.

"Hello, are you Mr. Xu's wife?"

Long Xinyu was quite surprised when he saw the woman in front of him.

She possessed an astonishing beauty; she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life, without exception.

“My name is Pei Danqing. My husband asked me to be in charge of signing the contract with you. Also, you don’t need to address me as ‘you’, you can just call me ‘you’.”

Pei Danqing doesn't really like being addressed as "you".

"Ahem, very well, Miss Pei, please have a seat!"

"it is good."

The two sat down.

Soon a waiter came over to serve tea.

After the waiter left, Pei Danqing took out the stack of documents from her bag.

Long Xinyu also has documents, namely the share transfer agreement.

They both started looking at each other's documents.

After confirming that there is no problem.

Pei Danqing told Xu Lin.

Xu Lin: "Okay, that's settled then, it's all done."

Pei Danqing: "I feel like you don't care much about it and leave everything to me."

I trust you to do things.

"OK then."

It would be a lie to say that Pei Danqing wasn't moved by the other party's trust in her so much.

Even if this company doesn't become a billion-dollar enterprise, but only a few billion, with a 30% stake, taking 5 billion as an example, she would have 1.5 billion in hand. Xu Lin entrusted such a large sum of money to her.

In formal terms, Pei Danqing felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment; the feeling of being absolutely trusted by her beloved had reached its peak.

The contract was signed very quickly.

"Ms. Pei, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

"Pleasant to work with."

Pei Danqing nodded and added, "My husband said he will send you the detailed formula this afternoon, so please keep an eye on it."

"clear."

The two parted ways without further interaction.

On the other side, after Pei Danqing finalized the contract, Xu Lin began writing the formula.

The three formulas are actually quite few, taking up less than a page.

But he had to write out the calculation process.

Therefore, the detailed calculation process ultimately took up 26 pages of A4 paper, which is quite a large amount.

Even someone like Long Xinyu, a graduate of the University of Science and Technology of China, would probably find this troublesome.

But if Xu Lin doesn't write it down, Long Xinyu will have an even bigger headache.

Even though he was able to get into the University of Science and Technology of China, he wasn't a top genius. After all, he didn't come from the famous gifted youth program, and those people in the gifted youth program are the geniuses among geniuses.

Xu Lin, after his brain was developed, became several times stronger than the students in the gifted youth program.

He can write down the simplest truths, but ordinary people can't understand them, so Xu Lin has to be detailed.

At 2 PM, Xu Lin sent the company's information to Long Xinyu in the form of a photo file package.

Xu Lin chose Long Xinyu for this very reason: he graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China, and his own learning and work experience enabled him to understand these contents. Simply put, he understands technology, rather than being a pure business boss. In other words, he is not a business major.

In addition, Long Xinyu doesn't drink alcohol, a point that Xu Lin also values.

Many leaks are actually related to drinking.

Note: I have written these formulas in great detail. Please digest them. You can ask me if you don't understand anything, but only you can see them. Even your wife is not allowed to see them. You can't show them to anyone else unless I give permission.

In fact, Xu Lin had also included a special program in the file package to prevent Long Xinyu from leaking it to others.

This special program will silently install itself on the other party's computer, mobile phone, or other devices—basically, the devices that view the files—after Long Xinyu opens the file package.

If he wants to show it to others, he needs Xu Lin's approval first.

Once Long Xinyu leaks the information, it will be intercepted immediately, and in special cases, all information related to the formula on his computer or mobile phone will be deleted immediately.

Furthermore, the forged transaction information involving foreign anti-China forces would immediately appear on his mobile phone and computer.

At that time, Long Xinyu will be imprisoned for espionage and treason.

Don't even think about getting out of here in this lifetime.

In short, Xu Lin was very cautious.

If these formulas of his were obtained by large companies, they could easily buy their way into understanding them.

If one hundred million isn't enough, then one billion; if that still isn't enough, then ten billion.

There's nothing money can't buy in this world. If you throw money at it, even the most brilliant and arrogant genius will bow down and become your servant.

The saying "not bowing down for five pecks of rice" is really not true; there aren't that many noble people in this world.

Xu Lin is currently no match for large corporations or foreign powers; his influence doesn't extend to them.

Therefore, we cannot be careless.
