My autobiography cannot be a tragedy

Chapter 425 Partial Automatic

Five p.m.

"Om~Om~"

It wasn't until the mobile phone vibrated that Tang Xiaoqi woke up from the first human-computer interaction experience.

She looked at the caller ID on her phone... Zheng Wan?
She curled her lips and hung up directly.

Then I noticed the sky outside, unknowingly, I had chatted with a voice assistant for a whole day, and now I still can't stop...

She only has one feeling now... This thing is simply perfect!
On the other side of the ocean before, her mentor said that he had previously participated in a non-public AI research project called "Meena" of Bone Song.

After talking with "it", the illusion that "the other party is conscious" even arises.

She originally thought that this kind of technology was still a long way from humans.

But today, in a country where AI technology seems to be even more backward, she actually experienced it.

She couldn't tell whether the person opposite was really a bunch of codes, or a big guy who picked his feet...

Is it "artificial intelligence" or "artificial" intelligence?
Is this a miraculous technological breakthrough, or a man-made gimmick?
Although her heart was full of shock and doubts, she was sure of one thing!

That is, once this product goes on the market, Xiaodu, Xiaoai, Little Elf and so on... I'm afraid they will be crushed to pieces...

It's a little strange that the task given to them by the department is not to explore "home application scenarios" with a broad market.

Instead, do you want to develop a niche "vehicle smart speaker" first?
"Xiao Tang, I'm off work. Today's new colleagues have dinner, let's go together!"

At this time, the personnel lady who had brought her into the job before suddenly came over and said.

"Oh! Good."

Tang Xiaoqi also felt that her head was a little buzzing. The shock she received today was too great. She should change to another place to have a drink and calm down...

Following a group of newcomers and colleagues out of the building, Tang Xiaoqi suddenly remembered.

"By the way, don't we need to clock in after get off work?"

"No, did you see the probe at the door?

There is no sense of clocking in and out of get off work. I heard that it is facial recognition. The technology of your department is really powerful, and our personnel work is much easier. "

"Uh... is it... very powerful..."

"By the way, remember to ask for an invoice when you take a taxi later, take a photo with your mobile phone and upload it directly to the company's ERP, and the department will automatically recognize it for reimbursement."

"what?"

"Hey! Is it convenient? The young ladies on the finance side said that they are about to lose their jobs, haha!"

Tang Xiaoqi was silent for a while.

Yes, the paperless and informatization of enterprises means that management costs are greatly reduced, and it also means that many positions are no longer important.

This is just a change on the surface.

If coupled with the Internet "credit guarantee" provided by distributed blockchain technology...

Let alone finance, even auditing is no longer important.

So, it's not just Xiaodu, Xiaoai, and elves...

Are the Big Four accounting firms going to tremble?
……

The next day, Ninghai County, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province.

"Hangzhou Construction Investment also won the bid? Yes! I know.

Deploy technicians as soon as possible, and the first batch of government and enterprise customers must serve well..."

Hu Yifei listened to the report on his mobile phone, and didn't show any particularly surprised expression.

This is already the fifth government-enterprise cooperation intention after they officially started the bidding for "Tianshu".

There are barriers to the promotion of technology.

User needs, local characteristics... in the market, and gray areas...

But whether the market barriers are strong or not always depends on whether the impact of technology is strong enough.

A subversive product, even if you build a high wall, there will be countless "ladders" to climb over...

Hu Yifei took the lead in focusing the company's promotion on the government-enterprise bidding that he was more familiar with, and he was the first to get a pretty good start.

His thinking is typically top-down, with the city surrounding the countryside.

At present, there are various enterprise cloud ERP systems on the market. Several leading enterprises such as SAP, ORCAL (Oracle), UFIDA and Kingdee have already divided up the domestic market.

As a little-known new product, no matter how good the product quality is, without market recognition and popularity, it is just a sword.

So his first step is to open up breakthroughs from these state-owned government enterprises to gain word of mouth and fame!
As for those small and medium-sized private enterprises...

Due to the shortage of funds, he has only done a free promotion for the first month and posted it on several domestic platforms for trial use. Only when Bai Yeji has enough money can he carry out large-scale advertisements and local promotions.

After hanging up the phone, Hu Yifei opened the door and got out of the car, looking up at the large production park in front of him.

I saw a line of company names written in gold in front of the park——

"Idol Electric Vehicle Co., Ltd."!
"I, Hu Yifei... am back again!"

A smile appeared on his face.

Yes, this is his third time here.

The first time I came here was to inspect investment projects. At that time, I spent a lot of money and was full of ambition.

The second time I came here was to withdraw capital, but that Boss Bao used the excuse of a business trip, he didn't even meet him face to face, and left like a defeated rooster.

For the third time, he felt that he was doing it again.

If you want to describe his mood at this time, it should be... Swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger!
……

"Mr. Hu, our boss is really not in the company. He went to France to raise money recently, and the company really has no money. You..."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not here to ask for money today, I'm here to invest!"

"Uh……"

So...in less than 5 minutes, Mr. Bao trotted all the way to Hu Yifei...

Seeing Hu Yifei's unkind expression, he could only show an embarrassed yet polite smile.

"Uh...hehe! Mr. Hu, long time no see, you are still so handsome!"

Hu Yifei twitched the corners of his mouth and sneered, ignoring Mr. Bao's outstretched hands.

"Heh! Boss Bao is riding a rocket, right? You came back from France so soon?"

Of course he has reason to be angry, the guy in front of him, the ppt made a lot of hype, and as a result, he was beaten back to his original form when he announced the reduction of subsidies.

As a result, his capital chain was almost broken, and he was doomed...

If he hadn't been on a mission, he really wanted to beat him up today.

"Uh...Young Master Hu, don't be angry, isn't there really nothing I can do?

In the past few days, not only investors and suppliers have blocked the door every day, but I have even received several court summons.

I have become a dishonest person, let alone fly to France, I can’t even afford the high-speed rail to go to Poyang Lake to jump in the lake now..."

Looking at Mr. Bao with a bitter face, crying poor and pretending to be poor.

Hu Yifei was angry, and he didn't know where to send it.

Of course, he knows the other party's recent situation. If it is miserable, Mr. Bao must be one of the "Worst Persons" of the year in 2018...

Speaking of which, Mr. Bao has entered the new energy track since 2006. He entered the industry at almost the same time as Mr. Wang of BYD. He can be said to be a veteran in the industry.

Can see the future development of electric vehicles, and have the courage to directly build all-in-one pure electric vehicles, needless to say vision.

Needless to say, personal ability can go from an electric vehicle parts dealer to a well-known new energy manufacturing company in China.

If it hadn't been too dependent on policy dividends, and the announcement came so suddenly, maybe next year it would really be able to go public as planned, taking Idol to another level.

Although it is relying on subsidies to emerge.

However, for an entrepreneurial enterprise that lacks funds and is unable to invest in large-scale R&D at all, it is understandable to grasp all opportunities and conditions to grow and grow, even if it relies on subsidies.

This can be regarded as a reasonable use of loopholes in the rules.

It is not unfair to be called a "P supplementary" company by outsiders, but the helplessness in it may only be understood by Mr. Bao...

It can only be said that time is fate.

Seeing that Hu Yifei was not so angry, Mr. Bao laughed along with him and said cautiously.

"Young Master Hu, you have also seen the situation of idols. There is really no money in the company's account, and the employees' wages for next month have not yet been paid.

If you want to divest, like this, what do you like in my office, just move! "

"You don't want to follow me, no matter how short I am of money, I don't need your desks, chairs and benches!

I'm not here to ask for money this time! "

Boss Bao's eyes lit up immediately!
"So...so you really came to invest?"

Isn't it because of this sentence that he can come at a gallop?

Even if it's just a glimmer of hope, he can only treat it as the last straw.

Hu Yifei glanced at Mr. Bao angrily.

"That's right, I'm here to invest!"

"Really?"

Boss Bao was immediately overjoyed!
Idol looks like a ghost now, but there is still such a big injustice that he doesn't want to withdraw his investment, and still wants to chase after the investment... Ah bah!Is it the big benefactor?

What kind of "devotion" is this?
"Then...then how much do you plan to invest?" Boss Bao's eyes were full of hope.

Hu Yifei smiled strangely, and took out a steel coin from his pocket.

With a flick of the thumb, the coin jingled and jumped in front of Mr. Bao.

Boss Bao: "..."

Looking at the one-yuan coin on the table, his face immediately turned dark.

one dollar? !
Co-author Are you here to amuse me today?
"For this one dollar, we want all your equity, including land, production lines, factory buildings and other fixed assets, as well as Aidou's pure electric passenger vehicle production qualification."

Just one dollar, you want to buy my assets worth hundreds of millions?

You... You guys want to steal it!

Thinking of the other party's identity, Mr. Bao was startled, and the sweat immediately came down his back.

No way?Could it be that the other party became angry from embarrassment and was about to use the...

"Of course, we can also take over your debts."

In a word, Mr. Bao returned to heaven from hell!
"This... is this really true?!"

At this time, Idol was caught in a sharp decline in sales and a crisis of debt default by suppliers, and it was already insolvent.

Last month, the cumulative sales of idol electric vehicles were only a poor 354, which was almost only 10% of the same period last year.

Based on this data alone, you can see how idol's current revenue has fallen off a cliff.

It can be said that the possibility of continuing to operate has almost been lost.

At this time, buying all the equity and bonds for 1 yuan, so that he can get out of the quagmire, this deal is definitely earned by him!

"That's right, and you can still be your general manager, and all personnel positions in the company can be reserved for one year."

Hu Yifei's words gave him another big surprise.

For Aidou, a company created by itself, it is like a child raised by the family, and naturally it is not so easy to let go.

But... is there really such a good thing in the world?

He asked in disbelief.

"Young Master Hu, you may not be very clear about the situation of idols. The car cannot be sold now. If this problem is not solved, the company will not be able to operate at all.

I'm already desperate, and I can't figure out a way out.

Are you sure you want to buy it? "

He didn't understand, what's the point of this besides being in debt?
"Since we dare to buy it, we naturally have a way to solve the problem of not being able to sell it." Hu Yifei looked confident.

"Your solution, shouldn't it be to lower the price?" Boss Bao asked suspiciously.

After all, no matter how you look at it, if you want to solve the problem of not being able to sell, it seems that there is only this "killer weapon" left...

He smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Young Master Hu, it won't work! After the subsidy is reduced, the current price is already our cost line. If the price is lowered, it will be a loss if you sell a car.

Other companies may still be able to burn money like this, but our company has no money to burn..."

"Price reduction? Our solution is not such a low-level approach."

"It's not a price cut, so what can you do?" Boss Bao looked bewildered.

He, the founder and industry veteran, can't help it. What can you, a second generation with no working experience at all and a worrying investment vision, have any ideas?
"Have you heard of autonomous driving? Have you heard of smart travel?"

"Uh……"

Boss Bao was stunned, and black lines ran down his forehead.

Smart travel is fine, but autonomous driving?
My f-ck is an A0-class miniature car, okay?

Do you think I built a Tesla?
I thought I was good at writing ppts, but I didn't expect that there are strong hands among the best, and you can talk better than me!
Looking at Hu Yifei with a honeyed and confident face, Boss Bao resisted the desire to complain, and kindly reminded him.

"Cough! Hu Shao, the car-grade lidar currently on the market costs tens of thousands... I'm talking about US dollars..."

Literally, a self-driving accessory is enough to buy a car for me...

What autopilot do you take?
"Who said we need lidar?" Hu Yifei glanced at him.

"As far as we know, the main model Idol D3 you launched not long ago should be equipped with active and passive safety configurations such as lane departure warning, front collision warning, pedestrian detection and warning in terms of safety configuration...

There are also two cameras, one front and one rear, as well as integrated ADAS early warning and driving recorder functions, right? "

Mr. Bao was very surprised that Hu Yifei was able to tell the configuration of his new car in such detail.

He immediately understood that the other party was not aimless, maybe he really came prepared...

"That's right, uh... you don't want to go the 'vision-only autonomous driving' route, do you?

That cost is indeed low, but the technical difficulty is too high.

Well, even if you have the technology, it is impossible to meet the most basic hardware technical requirements for autonomous driving with the configuration of Idol D3...

Not even Tesla can do it. "

Even pure vision autonomous driving has the most basic requirements for the hardware of the vehicle.

For example, the angle and number of cameras, as well as on-board chips, circuit modification, etc...

Even if Hu Yifei and the others can really solve these technical problems, the idol D3 will have to go through a major overhaul.

And the big change of the production line means a huge capital investment, which is an impossible task for current idols...

"Ha ha!"

Faced with doubts, Hu Yifei just laughed.

Fully automatic driving can't be done, we can do partial automation first!

such as……

stop the car or something...
