Chapter 39: Silently poaching Microsoft’s corner

"It's not grand at all. I'll send you something. You look at it and then think about how much you want. Then hang up."

A "beep" sound came from the receiver of the mobile phone, and Zhang Jian also smiled bitterly: This is not grand, you have such a big appetite? I want to see what you sent me!
Zhang Jian opened WeChat and saw a headline:
"State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission: Central enterprises should put the development of artificial intelligence into overall planning and planning, accelerate the construction of a number of intelligent computing centers, and carry out AI+ special actions"

"Let me go, this is a trillion-level blue ocean market! How much do I want? I want..."

Zhang Jian confirmed his channel and found that there was indeed relevant news, but he was too busy today to see it.

So, he became excited instantly. Needless to say, this policy must be a purely domestic solution, and domestic competitors include Huawei, Biren Technology, Bitmain...

He went through them one by one and analyzed them carefully. Currently, Huawei has a relatively mature solution, but the current production capacity of Huawei's Ascend chips is simply not enough to meet demand.

On my side, coupled with the intelligent integration of curling ears, if I can quickly build the intelligent computing center of Hezhou University and build it as a benchmark, my competitiveness will immediately rise to many levels!

It seems that we really need to prepare more goods, don't wait until then to limit production!
Zhang Jian can't make the decision alone - to prepare more goods, more funds will be needed. This will definitely need to be discussed with partners and investors, whether to open another round of financing or borrow money, it has to be done anyway!

……

As for Ji Hong, he sent the relevant information to Zhang Jian and ignored him. In fact, the information came from Chen Jiye.

In the afternoon, when the two of them were communicating about future business, what he mentioned was not confidential information, and it should be made public in the near future.

Even before, Chuangjie Technology clung to the dating APP project of "Yuanlai Group" for a similar reason - Yuanlai Group, as a state-owned enterprise affiliated to the news agency, initially planned to build an intelligent computing center for dating services.

Chuangjie Technology just wants to build connections and see if there is an opportunity to join forces with Qianxun and other companies to do something.

But now the situation has changed. It turns out that the group took this opportunity to directly expand its scale and seek to build a series of data and intelligent services including services for pregnant women, expectant parents, and children. This is a national industry intelligence. It's the center.

Thinking more deeply, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission established this group during this period to engage in marriage and love?
This is not a major matter that affects people's livelihood or national security. Is it just to make money? Definitely not!
Ji Hong guessed that this intelligent computing center probably shoulders some invisible responsibilities, which may include:
Explore ways and methods to reduce parenting stress for expectant parents, explore feasible solutions to establish a correct view of marriage and love, provide data support and basis for population policies, and so on.

All in all, it’s about finding ways to stabilize population growth.

Only this makes sense - population growth has indeed become the country's biggest headache.

As for such a national industry intelligent computing center, let alone its scale, it will definitely not be small. It may even be designed as a clustered intelligent computing center with multiple points and aspects.

At present, there are no such examples in the world. Data exchange and model exchange between intelligent computing centers are also a topic worthy of study - the relevant ideas obtained by Ji Hong have relevant content. For such practice He was greedy for the opportunity.

“You may be right, but can artificial intelligence really solve this problem?”

"It is also an idea to make raising children more worry-free and save money." Ji Hong said with a smile: "There may be other ideas using AI. However, due to adjustments to the plan, this project has been put on hold. Whether it can be put into our hands remains to be seen. I don’t know, let’s look back later!
"Right now, our key is the promotion of the Whisper system."

"How is the promotion effect?"

"Quietly eroding, low-key." Ji Hong stretched out a finger, showed a mysterious smile, and whispered, Cheng Hui unconsciously came closer, and it was not until they touched each other that he woke up from a dream.

"It's just the two of us. Why are you biting your tongue here? Come on, don't tell me I'm biting you!" We have been together for several years, and Cheng Hui is still so uninterested in teasing. Ji Hong also laughed, and then said: "Microsoft is too powerful, and it's not that easy to shake Windows.

"However, we made the system into a virtual machine that can be installed directly on Windows. Guess what? The installation volume of this version of the system accounts for almost 90% of our total installation volume.

"As of eight o'clock, the total amount of data I had obtained was about 800,000, and more than 700,000 were installed on Windows.

"It's not like a system anymore, it's more like a software."

Microsoft has been working for so many years, and of course it has a moat. It has a broad user base, software ecosystem, especially a large number of industry professional software, such as Adobe Family Bucket. Even Whisper integrated with smart plug-ins cannot perfectly solve it, except for real Go and develop a new set.

Moreover, the WinTel alliance is inseparable to a certain extent, especially Intel's CPU multi-core, multi-thread, and even large and small core design. Only Windows can schedule it better and achieve the best performance.

Under this circumstance, it is not difficult to understand that more users choose to install the Whisper system on Windows using a virtual machine.

Ji Hong is now a little confused as to whether providing this version has more advantages than disadvantages or more disadvantages than advantages. The advantages of doing so are actually obvious——

Many users who do not have Moore thread graphics cards have installed the Whisper system on the recommendation of others and actually used it - even if they cannot use a personal work assistant and can only use the Whisper operating system, there are nearly fifty such users alone. Ten thousand.

And as long as they really use it, even if it takes a day or an hour, Ji Hong will have absolute confidence that they can't go back. This is of course a benefit.

"We have to think of a way to solve this problem and let some users who don't have strong demand for Windows professional software directly install our system directly." Ji Hong pondered:

"Use AI to optimize multi-threading and large and small cores for Intel's CPU? There are also problems with professional software that are difficult to solve! So what if the code AI is released?

"The workload is too great. It's better to abandon the Linux kernel and redesign the AI ​​kernel of our own!" Ji Hong shook his head and decided to observe further.

"In the early stage, we will slowly guide these users to install Whisper directly. Whisper is actually enough for most users. After all, the proportion of users using special professional software is not particularly large.

"Moreover, in terms of AI, there are performance advantages to simply installing it. This group of users probably come for personal assistants, and they should be able to do it with a little guidance."

Ji Hong is already planning to quietly poach Microsoft, but he is not planning to vigorously publicize it. He will do it quietly first and give Microsoft a surprise directly when the volume becomes large.

"There is also the game market. The graphics card driver has been improved. When the installed capacity increases, will it be necessary to guide domestic game manufacturers to carry out targeted optimization? This is included in the next step of the plan!"

……

After sorting out his thoughts for a long time, it was getting very late and Ji Hong was already yawning again and again.

When the time came, he noticed the sales figures again: "There are more than 500,000 users without Moore Technology graphics cards, and the total number is only 800,000. If you calculate it like this, not many graphics cards have been sold?

"Eight hundred thousand minus more than half a million. There are more than 200,000 pieces of stock here, and you are telling me that this one is sold out and that one is sold out? And, more than 200,000 yuan is half of their inventory? "

If Zhang Jian hears Ji Hong's words, he will definitely criticize him: In just a few days, he has sold nearly 300,000 copies. Before that, for several years combined, Moore Technology had not sold a total of 300,000 copies in the consumer market. Over 100,000 copies have been shipped!

Ji Hong also thought of this. It was true that few people bought it before, and it was reasonable to have low inventory. However, the production below must be speeded up, otherwise things will really be delayed!
