1991 Starting from the core

Listening to Su Yuanshan's outrageous tone, Xi Xiaoding just smiled slightly.

Over the years, from the first time he met Su Yuanshan, he had become accustomed to this guy realizing all his boasts - so now, he just had to wait and see.

Putting down the document, Xi Xiaoding reluctantly looked back.

"What about the in-vehicle functions? Fully automated? Intelligent?"

"In fact, intelligence already includes automation - I'm afraid you have more say than me, brother." Su Yuanshan chuckled: "In the future, the Internet of Vehicles will add cloud services, and then add AI chips specially used for intelligent computing. , autonomous driving can be achieved.”

"Well, I heard that the Automobile Research Institute also has the idea of ​​setting up an autonomous driving laboratory, but the specific progress has not been reported yet, and I don't know if they can handle it."

"I guess it's quite difficult. They are people with far-sighted ideas, but not very strong... My advice to them is to first make demands, and then put them out for internal support bidding. I guess it won't take long for you to ask for help. Go on. I will need your help then."

"No problem." Xi Xiaoding agreed. After all, in the fields of artificial intelligence and big data, Pandora Laboratory's standards are among the top in the world.

If a project like autonomous driving, which is extremely safety-related, does not have the help of top algorithm scientists, it would be a bit futile...

"Xiaoshan, tell me, what is the future direction of science and technology? Will artificial intelligence completely replace humans at work?" Xi Xiaoding looked at Su Yuanshan and expressed his thoughts.

"...I don't know either. But I think that apart from artificial intelligence... there are probably only two ways for human beings."

"Huh? Tell me which two." Xi Xiaoding looked at him with a smile.

"Either The Matrix, brain-computer interface, or virtual reality."

"Either the stars and the sea rush out of the earth and towards the universe."

Su Yuanshan squinted his eyes and whispered: "For the former, we may be trapped in this small corner of the earth forever. For the latter, facing the vast unknown of the universe, who knows what we will encounter?"

Xi Xiaoding smiled slightly, but after smiling, he sighed deeply.

——As the boss of Pandora, he has a group of geniuses who are clamoring to change the world and the future all day long. Naturally, he cannot avoid discussing with others, or listening to others discuss what the future will be like.

Naturally, he also knows these two paths.

"Then which way do you prefer?"

"Only children make choices. According to my temper, I want them all!" Su Yuanshan's eyes flashed, he took a deep breath and laughed: "Brother, wait for another two years, wait until the policy is looser, wait until the situation is better , when we start making big money... let’s walk on two legs again! A brain-computer interconnection and a spaceship!"

"good!"

Two days later, Su Yuanshan boarded a commercial plane and took Zhang Xiaolong with him to the Special Administrative Region.

Then he stayed in Jiang Qingchuan's factory for two days to check the progress of Yidoo4's mass production machine. And the prototype of the IPAD engineering machine.

This year’s press conference plan has been determined. As the future flagship product, Yidoo4 is charged with the mission of bringing the Vidoo series into the "low-end" - yes, when faced with the problem of how to deal with the Vidoo series of mobile phones, Yuanxin's mobile phones The business department discussed for a long time with the marketing department, marketing department and other big shots, and Duan Yongping personally attended the meetings up to four times. In the end, after considering all aspects, Yuanxin adopted a compromise approach.

That is, the Vidoo brand and product line will be retained, and "functional phones" will still be produced and launched.

But its price, output and positioning will all be adjusted, and it will sink to the mid-range market of around 3,000 yuan. At the same time, in terms of publicity, because the Vidoo series no longer has "high-tech" attributes, Yuanxin will no longer promote it in the form of a press conference, but the channels will remain the same.

The advantage of this is that it can well maintain the existing market and profits. The disadvantage... naturally has a little impact on the brand effect of Yuanxin, and at the same time has an impact on the popularity of real smart phones represented by Yidoo4.

But after the Vidoo series of mobile phones did not enter the press conference, another problem arose. That is because the press conference in the second half of the year has not been planned...

——Yuanxin is now moving forward into the field of consumer electronics products! And because of the style left over from the past few years, Yuanxin's "fans" and the media pay extra attention to Yuanxin's press conferences, especially the press conferences in the second half of the year... which are full of incomparable excitement. expect!

Not to mention that Yuanxin will not be able to produce a sensational product like a drone in a short period of time. Even if it does, it will not be of much help to Yuanxin's current brand and development direction...

Of course, it's not impossible to insist on releasing a Yidoo 4S or something like that... but the audience's appetite has been whetted, and if there isn't a huge breakthrough, they won't be booed off the stage.

——This is why Duan Yongping is trembling with fear every time he holds a press conference.

In this case, Duan Yongping took a step back and moved the iPad, which was originally scheduled to be released in May this year, to October.

This is considered to be the last resort.

——In the past few years, Yuanxin did try too hard to establish its image.

This is just like sucking something. The threshold will definitely be getting higher and higher until the end. How can Yuan Xin be satisfied...

Even Su Yuanshan has a headache now.

After inspecting the foundry, Su Yuanshan went directly to HK - now that his wife, children and mother are all in HK, it really makes no sense for him not to take a look.

…

"Dad, I want to walk."

In the Central Shopping Center, the two-and-a-half-year-old little jellybean was twisting and turning in Su Yuanshan's arms, volunteering to walk on his own.

"Oh, Xiaodou, why are you so good today?" Su Yuanshan praised exaggeratedly and put the jelly beans on the ground, with a look of relief on his face.

"I would have left long ago."

"Hey, it seems that dad is still looking down on you." Su Yuanshan laughed loudly, looked up at Ye Rudai, and raised his eyebrows at her: "Look, let me tell you that our mother can still take care of children, right? ?”

Ye Rudai went out today dressed very freshly, wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses. People who didn't know her would think she was some kind of female star... Hearing this, she glared at Su Yuanshan lightly: "You don't know how to post a video all day long. I don’t know that I remind them every day.”

"Um... I just need you to keep an eye on it." Su Yuanshan coughed. Although he was thick-skinned, he was indeed a little "unreasonable" when it came to "loving children" - he was busy with work all day long, even though he had to work every now and then. She made a video call, but it was just to take a look at her daughter. Unlike Ye Rudai, no matter how busy she was, she kept on video calls with her daughter every day, chatting with her, and kept telling the two old people not to spoil the child. If it is broken, we must educate it well.

In addition, Ye Rudai has been traveling between Silicon Valley and Hong Kong this year, seizing every minute to spend with her daughter.

On the contrary, Su Yuanshan was in China and didn't even have enough time to spend with his daughter.

So Su Yuanshan came here with the intention of solving this problem once and for all - Su Mu will be two and a half years old soon, just in time to enroll in kindergarten in September this year.

His idea was to have his children return to the provincial capital and attend Yuanxin’s kindergarten. In this way, the elderly of both families, including myself, can see their children anytime and anywhere.

But Ye Rudai's attitude was a bit reluctant, because she was completely responsible for Li Yanhong's domestic business, and she was only responsible for listening to business reports and auditing.

Moreover, Li Yanhong has indeed developed eso's domestic business very well, and has also produced many patents focusing on Chinese search, becoming the dominant domestic search engine.

Ye Rudai is a person who knows how to let go. In this case, if she stays in the provincial capital all day... it is not a good idea.

So this time, as soon as Su Yuanshan came over, he took Ye Rudai to "shopping" in Central, planning to buy some gifts for his wife and reward her.

"Come on, let me show you a chain." Su Yuanshan chuckled and led his daughter towards the Cartier store.

A female clerk came over quickly. She looked at the two of them calmly and smiled: "Hello, may I ask..."

"Speak in Mandarin." Su Yuanshan interrupted the other party with a smile.

The female clerk was stunned for a moment, laughed dryly, and then changed into poor Mandarin.

"Well, look at the necklace."

"I'm not suitable for wearing necklaces, brooches." Ye Rudai walked slowly in front of the counter and stopped in front of a brooch.

"Okay." Su Yuanshan picked up his daughter and smiled at the female clerk behind the counter: "Excuse me."

The clerk glanced at Su Yuanshan and Ye Rudai, bent down and took out the brooch, carefully placed it on the counter, and introduced: "Sir, Miss, are you our VIP members?"

"No, how much is it?"

Su Yuanshan picked up the brooch and handed it to Ye Rudai. Ye Rudai was about to make a sign on her chest, but unexpectedly, Little Sugar Bean reached out and grabbed it: "Mom, let me see."

"Xiaodou, pin it on your collar for mommy." Su Yuanshan encouraged his daughter.

At this time, the two clerks were well trained, but they couldn't help it anymore. They looked at each other, and the clerk behind the counter immediately reminded: "Sir, jewelry is a valuable item, please be careful... …”

"Be careful, don't prick your hand." Ye Rudai was originally waiting for her daughter to pin the brooch on her lapel - of course the little girl didn't know anything else, but when she saw her two chubby little hands playing with the brooch, she suddenly Face was focused on trying to pin a brooch to herself, how could Ye Rudai be willing to take away what was in her daughter's hands.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the little girl was pricked by the small diamond on it.

Bang...the brooch fell to the ground.

"Oh, it fell." Su Yuanshan was slightly startled. He picked up his daughter's hand and took a look. After seeing that the skin was not broken, he scratched her nose: "Look at you, are you pricked?"

"..."

"gentlemen!"

"It's okay, I'll buy it." When Su Yuanshan saw the clerk's appearance, he suddenly thought that if he was the kind of person who "just can buy luxury goods", he might be in for a bloody show today, right?

"One million Hong Kong dollars." The clerk stared at Su Yuanshan and his tone became a little more serious. A "do you know how much it costs?" look.

"I don't know, but I will buy it." Su Yuanshan smiled again.

At this time, Ye Rudai had already picked up the brooch from the ground - it didn't break in half, but there were two missing diamonds on it.

She didn't bother to get up on the ground, so she opened the small bag, threw the brooch in, and took out the check at the same time.

"Take these two out and take a look." Ye Rudai wrote the check and pointed to the other two calmly.

…

Half an hour later, the couple took their daughter to visit the mall.

After getting in the car, Fu Zhenhua turned his head with a sense of "gloating".

"Mr. Shan, I thought you were going to buy Cartier."

"Ahem...Brother Fu, please don't tell this joke outside."

"Haha, yes - where are you going?"

"I have to go to ATV first, and you will take them home later."

Ye Rudai was fixing the broken brooch to her daughter - that one was in the shape of a butterfly. No wonder her daughter liked it. When she heard this, she said, "What's the joke?"

"Yuanxin's joke."

Fu Zhenhua glanced at Su Yuanshan and saw that Su Yuanshan had no objection, so he smiled and said: "One day, the secretary asked Mr. Shan what to eat today, and Mr. Shan said, buy KFC."

"Then the secretary went out and met Mr. Huo on the road. Mr. Huo asked the secretary what he was doing. He was so anxious. The secretary said to buy KFC... He asked Mr. Huo if he wanted to go out. If he wanted to go out, help him buy it. Mr. Huo was shocked. I agreed on the spot..."

"Half an hour later, Mr. Shan didn't wait for KFC, but he got a call from Mr. Huo saying that KFC had bought it."

"..." Su Yuanshan spread his hands: "Look, in order to arrange me, they didn't even talk about the basic logic."

Ye Rudai endured it for a few times and finally smiled.

…

Ten minutes later, Fu Zhenhua sent Su Yuanshan downstairs to ATV. After Su Yuanshan followed Wan Yongliang upstairs, he got back in the car and sent Ye Rudai and her daughter home.

In Wan Yongliang's spacious office, Su Yuanshan was sitting on the sofa, tasting the hair that was said to be the best, crossing his legs, and listening to Wan Yongliang talking to him about ATV's ideas.

"Mr. Shan, I've thought about it carefully. If we rely solely on the Internet, we still won't be able to quickly expand our influence around the world."

Wan Yongliang put his elbows on his knees and looked at Su Yuanshan and said seriously: "Last year, I traveled around the world doing market research and analyzing the tastes and habits of the audience - yes, we must admit that, Internet media is the future. But there will definitely be a market for traditional media like television, and it will definitely exist for a long time..."

Su Yuanshan took a sip of tea and nodded slightly: "Well, before the arrival of the full virtual era, television is still the best sensory medium that people can enjoy at home."

Wan Yongliang was slightly startled: "Comprehensive virtual era? What is that?"

Su Yuanshan waved his hand: "If you don't talk about this, it's still an unformed concept. Tell me what you think."

"Okay, my idea is that we still have to go all out to enter the European and American markets."

"Can you get the license?" Su Yuanshan asked immediately.

"Not very capable, but I think we can intervene through various mergers and acquisitions." Wan Yongliang's eyes were glaring: "As long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do... You think so, right?"

Su Yuanshan: "..."
