Crossover: 2014

Chapter 60 The Wealth at Your Fingertips

If you set up a personal studio, Lin Hui doesn't need to do many things by himself.

Then Lin Hui will undoubtedly be freed from the "heavy" work.

This way he has time to do something more meaningful.

Moreover, the studio has a certain appeal to talents.

This is still beneficial to the construction of the initial team.

The most important thing is that the establishment of a studio does not affect Lin Hui's current plan to make a fortune silently.

After all, the most indispensable thing in this world is the studio.

The Internet industry is full of studios.

Even if Lin Hui established a studio, not many people would pay attention.

I have to say that Huang Jing's suggestion is great.

Still, building a studio doesn't happen overnight.

After all, there is a shortage of major generals under his command, so everything can only be discussed in the long run.

Lin Hui (to Huang Jing): "Thank you for your suggestion, I will seriously consider the feasibility."

Huang Jing said: "Okay, when will your studio be established. If you are short of manpower, tell me, and I can introduce you to some former friends."

Um, is there such a good thing?

Those who can join Apple must have a lot of big names in the circle.

Lin Hui: "That's good, then we will definitely meet you backwards."

Huang Jing: "Haha, is it necessary to be so exaggerated..."

Lin Hui: "..."

Huang Jing: "By the way, because you won the award, the official may arrange an exclusive interview with you recently..."

Lin Hui: "(⊙﹏⊙)? Interview? Why don't you say goodbye."

Huang Jing: "It's okay, online interview."

Lin Hui: "Oh, online interview, that's no problem."

Lin Hui's attitude was like two people.

Huang Jing was thoughtful.

Huang Jing: "I found that you seem to be afraid of trouble, and you are more resistant to public appearances. You are simply an outlier among developers..."

Lin Hui: "Of course I'm afraid of trouble. Developers are relatively nerdy, and it's not normal to hate publicity"

Huang Jing: "That's not it, it's just that you're a nerd. I know many developers who are not nerds. Not only are they not nerds, but they also have a lot of friends.

Even some people who are boring in daily life are very active on the Internet. "

Lin Hui: "Am I not active on the Internet? I play Weibo, Twitter, etc..."

Huang Jing: "You only go online occasionally, most of the content is a lottery, where is it active?"

Lin Hui smiled embarrassingly: "You follow me too? I didn't even notice. What's your ID name? I'll check back later."

Huang Jing: "Huh? You don't need to go back. I usually use Twitter a lot, and I don't use Weibo very much. I usually mainly read the content posted by others.

Also, don't interrupt, okay, weren't we still discussing the issue of activity just now? "

Lin Hui: "Okay, okay, so what do you think is active? Do you want to post a lot of news?"

Huang Jing: "It's not necessarily necessary to post a lot of news, but I think I can often share life and the like."

Lin Hui: "Uh, share your life? It feels so private. I'm afraid the state you're talking about is not the daily life of a writer or photographer. I feel that in reality, very few developers will publicly record their lives."

Huang Jing: "Why not? Not only are there, but there are quite a few..."

Lin Hui: "Okay, think about it slowly...but it's best to give some representative examples."

Huang Jing: "Representative? Uh, let me think about it..."

1 minutes passed.

2 minutes passed.

Many minutes passed.

Huang Jing suddenly said: "By the way, do you know Nick D'Aloisio? He often shares his life on Twitter? How about it? Is this representative enough?"

(⊙﹏⊙) Lin Hui originally thought that Huang Jing would cite some people who like to talk and talk as examples.

Unexpectedly, Huang Jing would use Nick D'Aloisio as an example.

Although this person is very strange to ordinary people.

But Lin Hui remembered who Huang Jing mentioned Nick D'Aloisio (Nick D'Aloisio) almost without thinking.

No way, it's hard not to remember.

The internet industry has always been full of geniuses.

And Nick D'Aloisio is one of those geniuses.

Generally, when boys are 15 years old, they are still obsessed with the magic of the Creator.

Nick D'Aloisio (at the age of 15) has independently developed a mobile news reading app called "Summly".

The software can automatically condense any news content into a 400-word summary, enabling users to read news quickly.

2013年3月25日，17岁的尼克将这款软件其卖给美国雅虎公司，赚得3000万美元。

After that, Nick became the youngest multi-millionaire in the world.

After that, Nick went directly to Yahoo and became the youngest engineer in Yahoo's history.

Nick D'Aloisio was also named one of the "World's Most Influential Youth in 2013" by Time Magazine in the United States.

Although there is still a gap between such a person and a super genius.

But it is definitely an ordinary genius.

And being able to sweep tens of millions of dollars at a time is even more lucky.

Although such a person did not hang up.

But it's almost the same as the one that was opened and hung up.

(Lin Hui doesn't know if there is a main god in the world.

If so, please hang up his phone more violently!
Otherwise, as a reborn person, it would be embarrassing to be hanged and beaten by the natives)
This year (2014) Yahoo News Digest (Yahoo News Summary) this software also won the Apple Design Award.

(...This software is only updated twice a day in the morning and evening, and each time selects 7-10 high-quality articles for users)
If Lin Hui remembers correctly, Nick is behind the software Yahoo News Digest.

If so.

Then Nick, who happens to be 18 years old this year, should also be invited to participate in this year's WWDC.

Could it be possible to meet this person at WWDC?
Although Lin Hui is eager to meet excellent developers.

But he didn't really want to meet this kind of person.

Remember that Nick even made a statement like this:
- "When I get tired of my studies, I turn to Yahoo; and if I get tired of working at Yahoo, I turn to my studies"

There is nothing wrong with this statement itself.

The weird thing is that (Nick) said this in front of Yahoo executives.

Anyway, Lin Hui felt that Nick was not very emotionally intelligent.

……

Although Nick's past development history is quite glorious.

But it doesn't mean that Lin Hui agrees with his social methods.

And when did Lin Hui ever speak cowardly?

Immediately retorted: "Uh, his Twitter frequency is active like a fake? His kind of talent is an outlier among developers."

Huang Jing burst out laughing: "What do you mean by 'lively like a high imitation', do you have such a description? You are not jealous."

Lin Hui: "Just such a mediocre software can make a profit of 3000 million U.S. dollars. Who wouldn't be jealous?"

Huang Jing: "Is the very trendy software good? When it comes to natural language processing, why is it so mediocre?"

Lin Hui: "Hehe."

To be honest, it was only late when Lin Hui was reborn.

Otherwise, the good thing of 3000 million US dollars can get this Nick?

Perhaps the so-called news summary developed by Nick is considered black technology in this era.

But in Lin Hui's eyes, it was really ordinary.

In the previous life, the AI ​​was bad.

Various natural language processing applications are emerging in an endless stream.

Crazy and introverted Internet companies even plan to use AI + natural language processing to write abstracts for papers.

The application of writing an overview of the news is completely a small case.

Directly based on deep semantic analysis models.

Automatically extract the key information in the news text and generate a news summary of the specified length.

In the next few years, there will be a lot of open source code for this kind of bad street technology.

In this time and space, it can still sell for 3000 million US dollars?

It can only be said that the speed of progress of the times is really fast!

For a moment, Lin Hui felt like he missed a hundred million.

Do not!
More than just missing [-] million!

If it is 3000 million U.S. dollars, it is close to [-] million yuan if it is converted into RMB.

But then again.

Although I missed it, I didn't completely miss it.

If I develop an APP that is better than Yahoo News Digest.

Then resold to Yahoo.

wrong!

Wouldn't it be nice to sell to a Yahoo competitor?
You don't even need to develop an entire app.

Just figure out the core summary algorithm.

It's not easy at all.

After all, this simple application of AI + natural language processing

Lin Hui doesn't even need to write the code himself.

There is a high probability that ready-made examples can be found in some AI tutorials in previous lives.

Well, for a while it seemed like a huge fortune was within reach again.
