The world's richest man started by developing gutter oil

"According to your estimates, how much will they cost?" asked Nan Jianxionggui.

"In mass production, it is estimated that it will be 10-20% more expensive than ternary lithium, because this type of battery requires more lithium resources. However, this is just our assessment. It also depends on the manufacturing process of this battery. Advanced processes and synthesis methods also affect the cost of the battery.

However, judging from the current situation, the manufacturing process of this battery is not simple, otherwise Deep Blue would have expanded production long ago. After all, the performance of this battery is so good, and it is very likely that it is difficult to expand production if it has not expanded production. "Said Kurosaki Nobuyoshi.

"Mr. Kurosaki, from now on, your R&D department's R&D expenses will be doubled, and you must develop semi-solid batteries for me as quickly as possible. Maybe Deep Blue is having difficulty expanding production now, but it doesn't mean that it can't be solved in the future. If we can't come up with the same products to compete with Deep Blue, then we will lose the entire battery business." Kusunoki Yuuki frowned, thought for a moment, and said with an extremely serious expression.

Nan Jianxionggui felt that this matter was not that simple. Since Shenlan could mass-produce this kind of battery, Shenlan might have already built a factory to expand production. Shenlan might start selling this kind of battery tomorrow.

If their technology cannot keep up with Deep Blue, they will definitely be replaced by Deep Blue.

"Hey, President, I will definitely not let you down." Kurosaki Nobuyoshi bowed.

Nantian Pioneer Park Deep Blue Group.

Not long after Kang Xiangwu left, Han Chen received today's questions from the Strategic Information Department of Deep Blue Group.

The main task of this department is to collect important news from countries around the world and various fields. This department can help Han Chen understand the latest market information, and Han Chen can use these information to judge whether the operating strategies of each subsidiary are correct.

Among today's questions, the one that deserves Han Chen's most attention is that BBA has cut prices again. BBA's 50 to 100 million yuan models have been reduced in price by 5 to 30 yuan again.

Deep Blue Automobile squeezed their living space, and in order to increase sales they had no choice but to cut prices again, hoping to stimulate sales through price cuts.

According to the think tank's analysis, the automotive industry will enter a new round of price reduction frenzy after BBA's price cuts.

At this moment, the door light on Han Chen's desk lit up. After Han Chen pressed the door light, a familiar face pushed open the door and walked in. This person was Tu Jiaojiao, the dean of the Chinese Medicine Research Institute.

"Dean Tu, please come and sit over there at the tea table." Han Chen said when he saw the person coming.

"Okay, Mr. Han." Tu Jiaojiao nodded.

It has been two years since the establishment of the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The institute has spent a total of 270 billion on research so far. Of course, this money is not wasted. The institute has not produced many results, but most of them are for the treatment of minor illnesses and pains. Of course, it does not mean that they have not developed major results.

They are currently developing a specific drug that can treat ALS. This specific drug is improved based on the "Fuyuan Qifangyin" and is currently undergoing the first phase of clinical trials.

Although the number of people suffering from this disease is very small, it is recognized as a terminal illness. If this disease can be cured, the reputation of the Chinese Medicine Research Institute will be even greater.

By then, we will definitely be able to attract many researchers of traditional Chinese medicine to join the institute.

"Mr. Han, what do you want me to do?" Tu Jiaojiao asked curiously.

"Let's talk about it after someone arrives. Let's drink tea and wait for a while." Han Chen said with a smile.

"Okay." Tu Jiaojiao nodded.

Twenty minutes later, Andrew Ng, who was in charge of AI research and development, came to Han Chen's office.

"Director Tu, let me introduce you. This is Andrew Ng, who is in charge of the research and development of artificial intelligence, and Tu Jiaojiao is the head of the Deep Blue Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine." Han Chen introduced.

"Hello, Director Tu." Andrew Ng extended his hand and said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Wu." Tu Jiaojiao shook hands with the other party and said.

“I called you here this time because I hope you two can work together to develop two artificial intelligences suitable for medical use.

The first one is an AI for medical research and development, and the other one is an AI specifically for traditional Chinese medicine consultations," said Han Chen.

"Artificial intelligence?" Tu Jiaojiao said in surprise after hearing the word.

“Yes, artificial intelligence. Director Tu may think this thing is very sci-fi, but in fact we have successfully researched artificial intelligence.

The voice assistant on the DeepBlue mobile phone is the artificial intelligence developed by us.

In fact, the artificial intelligence we have developed is more than this, but we have not demonstrated all of its functions.

The reason why not all its functions are demonstrated is that the current computing power is only enough for our research and development.

We are not yet able to fully commercialize all features.

The artificial intelligence we want to develop has reached expert level in professional fields.

Whether it is literature, mathematics, physics, or biology, he has already reached the expert level.

To put it simply, you can ask our artificial intelligence any questions related to these subjects.

Artificial intelligence can answer 99.97% of the questions, with an accuracy rate of 99.6%.

No matter which field, as long as there is enough data support, our artificial intelligence can become an expert.

The professionalism and accuracy of artificial intelligence far exceeds 97% of humans," said Han Chen.

After hearing Han Chen's explanation, Tu Jiaojiao was completely stunned. The matter of artificial intelligence was completely beyond her understanding.

"Mr. Han, is artificial intelligence really that powerful?" Tu Jiaojiao asked Han Chen with her eyes wide open.

“Yes, as long as we have enough data to support AI training, common diseases will not require doctors to see them in the future.

The patient only needs to place his arm on the instrument to take his pulse, and the disease can be diagnosed by using artificial intelligence of tongue appearance.

In addition to being used to diagnose diseases, artificial intelligence can also be used in medical research and development.

It will be normal to use artificial intelligence to develop innovative drugs in the future." Han Chen smiled.

After hearing Han Chen's answer, Tu Jiaojiao was completely stunned.

If artificial intelligence is really as awesome as Han Chen said, will humans still have to spend seven or eight years studying medicine in the future?
Can the profession of doctor be abolished?

"Director Tu, do you find it incredible?" Han Chen asked with a smile.

"Yes." Tu Jiaojiao nodded.

"Director Tu said that artificial intelligence replacing humans is a major trend, and 95% of jobs will be replaced by artificial intelligence in the future.

In the future, only these 5% of people will be needed to engage in research and development work, and the remaining 95% will just need to enjoy life.

This is an irreversible trend. In fact, it is not just us who are studying it. Foreign companies have been studying it for a long time.

For example, Google started researching artificial intelligence five years ago." Han Chen said.

Tu Jiaojiao didn't know what to say for a moment, because what Han Chen said just now was absolutely right.

"Mr. Han, I will cooperate well with Mr. Wu." Tu Jiaojiao said after taking a deep breath.

"Director Tu believes that advanced artificial intelligence is just an auxiliary tool, because there are many things that artificial intelligence cannot do.

For example, innovation is something that artificial intelligence cannot do. It can only innovate based on known data.

Humans can use their brains to think of things that go beyond the rules.

So you don’t have to worry about whether artificial intelligence will completely replace humans, because this is basically impossible to happen.” Han Chen said.

"Yeah." Tu Jiaojiao replied simply.

December 2014, 2.

Han Chen came to work after breakfast as usual. Not long after arriving at the company, Han Chen received a call from Mr. Ren.

"Mr. Ren, how come you have time to call me?" Han Chen asked with a smile after answering the phone.

"Xiao Han, can you ship the battery used in your new product to us? We plan to use this large-capacity battery in the next generation of aircraft." Mr. Ren said.

"Mr. Ren, we are unable to ship to you for the time being. It's not that I don't want to ship to you, but our production capacity is very limited. Currently, it is only enough for Deep Blue Group's own use.

It will take at least half a year to expand production, and at least half a year to ship the products," said Han Chen.

"In that case, forget it. How long does it take for your wafer fab to tape out the wafer?" Mr. Ren asked again.

Warwick's R&D department has developed several chips after using Beidouxing EDA. Now these chips have achieved the final iteration and can enter mass production.

The performance of Warwick's flagship chip is comparable to that of Deep Blue 3, with the gap between the two being less than five percentage points.

"Mr. Ren, our factory doesn't need to do anything. It can finish the film in a week." Han Chen said.

"Okay, give me your contact information and I'll let my subordinates connect with you," said Mr. Ren.

"No problem." Han Chen replied.

"If there's nothing else, I won't bother you. I have a lot of things to do here." Mr. Ren said.

"Okay, Mr. Ren." Han Chen replied.

Then both parties hung up the phone.

Shenlan Battery Factory, Longgang District.

Sales.

Ding Yuanming is the general manager of the sales department of Shenlan Battery Factory.

Although Ding Yuanming is the general manager of the sales department, he is now extremely idle since Shenlan acquired their company.

All the batteries in the battery factory have been monopolized by DeepBlue Electronics. There is no extra production capacity and no need to do business anymore.

The entire sales department was in a state of living a life of idleness and waiting for death.

What worries Ding Yuanming the most is that without business he can only receive basic salary.

This salary is not even enough for him to pay his mortgage and support his family. If this continues, all the money he has saved over the years will be spent.

If it was still the same boss, Ding Yuan would have gone to resign early in the morning.

But their current boss is Deep Blue Group, which forces him to seriously consider resigning.

You have to know that Deep Blue Group is the top company in China. No one would choose to quit their job at Deep Blue unless they are a fool.

But reality was forcing Ding Yuanming to bear it no longer.

Ding Yuanming finally plucked up the courage to find Kang Xiangwu to see if there was any solution.

"Dong~dong~dong"

Kang Xiangwu looked up when he heard the knock on the door. If he hadn't known Ding Yuanming for so many years, he would have forgotten the other person's existence.

"Xiao Ding, what's the matter?" Kang Xiangwu asked.

"Boss Ding, I'd like to ask when we can start doing external business. Without this business, our sales department can only receive basic salary.

If this continues, our sales department will soon be unable to hold on. This basic salary is not enough for us to live on. ” Ding Yuanming said.

"Xiao Ding, you guys should hold on for half a year. President Han asked me to come to the headquarters for a talk yesterday.

The company will expand its production this year. After the expansion, the production capacity will increase, and then you will have business to do.

This time the expansion project has a capacity of 100GWh, and I am already working on the expansion plan." said Kang Xiangwu.

"Okay, Mr. Kang." Ding Yuanming finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the other party talk about expanding production.

He can get through half a year if he grits his teeth.

As for the problem of not having enough money, the worst thing that can happen is that I can go out and take a taxi at night to supplement the household income.

Magic City.

Relevant departments of transportation.

Today, the transportation department and Amap jointly held a special meeting.

The content of this meeting was about allowing private cars to run online ride-hailing services.

At this time, Bao Zheng, a representative of AutoNavi, has already explained the impact that AutoNavi Taxi will have on the economy of Shanghai.

"Mr. Bao, according to what you mean, if we allow private cars to be converted into commercial vehicles, we can create at least 300,000 jobs for Shanghai in the future, right?" asked Zhuang Yixian, a person in charge of the relevant department.

“Yes, AutoNavi has been operating in Beijing for half a year and has created 350,000 jobs.

At the same time, we have also solved the problem of people's difficulty in traveling." Bao Zheng nodded.

"Then how do you ensure the safety of passengers and avoid disputes?" Zhuang Yixian asked again.

"We will install a client in every AutoNavi taxi vehicle, and our client will monitor the driver and passengers in real time.

Once keywords such as "life-saving" are detected, the client will contact the headquarters immediately, and we will contact the customer as soon as possible.

If the customer is unable to answer the call, we will contact the police immediately and send the vehicle, driver, passengers and information to the police." Bao Zheng replied.

After hearing Bao Zheng's answer, everyone present began to discuss in a low voice.

"Mr. Bao, will your AutoNavi Taxi have a negative impact on current taxis?" asked Yang Zhongyong, another person in charge of the relevant department.

“Director Yang, AutoNavi Taxi was originally co-owned with a taxi company, and we have also conducted a survey on the taxi market in Shanghai.

The existing number of taxis in Shanghai can only meet 35% of the needs of Shanghai citizens.

This means that 65% of citizens still cannot get a taxi.

The emergence of Gaode Taxi will fill this gap.

Our Gaode Taxi service has been in trial operation in Beijing for half a year.

This proves in real time that Gaode Taxi will only bring benefits to the city and will not cause any negative impact on society.

Gaode Taxi is also very popular among Beijing citizens.

At present, AutoNavi has reached agreements with Beijing, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou." Bao Zheng listed the cities they have already reached agreements with one by one.

In fact, they have already dealt with the matter with the No. 1 guy in Shanghai, and today's meeting is just a process.
