Short of money.

Or maybe there isn't enough money.

The "Type 1 High Energy Battery" project is expected to cost around 30 billion yuan, but in the actual process, due to the excessive pursuit of speed and additional expenses such as paying taxes, it generally overspends by more than 30%, which means it actually costs around 40 billion yuan.

On the other hand, through the "Intelligent Optimization Assistant", Levi has made a net profit of about 30 billion.

However, the market is basically saturated at present. Even if Dark Technology lets down its guard, it has reached cooperation with major domestic mobile phone manufacturers such as Huayao, Dami, VO, etc., and integrated the "Smart Optimization Assistant" into the factory systems of these mobile phones.

That is, in the Xia country's mobile phone market, the annual mobile phone shipment volume is how much, and the revenue that Dark Technology can make from that many mobile phones.

Combined with IoT hardware such as smart TVs, speakers, watches, car systems, etc., if Dark Technology is willing to delve deeper into it, it will have no problem making a net profit of tens of billions every year.

In theory, Revie would not face financial constraints.

However, he squandered 5 billion in a short period of time, consuming a considerable portion of the cash flow, resulting in a funding gap at the battery factory expected in half a year.

In addition, after the battery factory is built, Type 1 high-energy batteries will be mass-produced, but the production cost of the early products will be very high, the market price will definitely be high, the sales performance will not be very good, and it will be difficult to make profits in the early stages.

Therefore, sufficient funds must be prepared as a guarantee to help the battery factory overcome the initial difficulties.

After much calculation, Levi believes that there is still a funding gap of at least 10 billion.

However, the profits from just one "Smart Optimization Assistant" can no longer meet all financial needs in the short term.

So the butler Bowen suggested launching a new software product.

Bowen said: "Your Majesty, the potential of the optimization assistant is limited. We must come up with a new killer software product to open up new markets and gain new profits for the company.

I suggest collaborating with a technology company in Xia Country to launch the "Intelligent AI Assistant," sparking an AI revolution in the technology sector on this planet and officially ushering in the era of artificial intelligence!

Levi nodded. "I have the same idea, but which company would be more suitable to cooperate with?"

"Your Majesty, I believe Huayao has the strongest technical capabilities. As long as we can reach a cooperation with Huayao, we can launch version 1.0 of the 'Intelligent AI Assistant' in as little as three months."

"no!"

Li Wei frowned and said, "Let's not consider Huayao. Last time I proposed cooperation, they actually refused. Since we missed the opportunity, there will be no second chance."

Huayao Company was excluded by him.

So which technology company is more suitable to cooperate with?

Levi gave this task to Shu Yuhui and asked her to send out invitations, saying that Dark Technology has the world's most advanced AI technology. Any company interested in cooperation can apply, and the two parties will work together to develop an "Intelligent AI Assistant" that truly redefines "artificial intelligence."

…

Three days later.

Huigu Technology Park, Dark Technology Company, in the conference room.

We welcomed some special guests.

The middle-aged man in the lead, wearing a suit, with a baby face and a magnetic voice, was Lei Xiaojun, the president of Dami Technology Company.

Sitting across from the desk, looking at the young and unbelievable Levi, Lei Xiaojun complimented him repeatedly:

"Mr. Li is young and promising. He is much better than Lei was at his age. The young are truly formidable."

"Your company's software optimization technology is far ahead of its peers. Your profound technical strength is enviable and admirable."

"I heard a few days ago that your company has developed the most advanced intelligent AI technology that will redefine artificial intelligence. I believe this is not an exaggeration. If the technology you claim to have is real, Dami Technology is willing to cooperate with your company and work together on the development and application of the 'Intelligent AI Assistant'!"

Lei Xiaojun said this with a very sincere attitude.

But in fact, he was also skeptical in his heart, not sure whether dark technology was really that powerful.

Equivalent to the LV8 intelligence level of an "eight-year-old human"... What does this mean?

Ordinary people may not have any idea about it, but how could Lei Xiaojun, who graduated with a degree in computer science and an engineering background, not know it?

Because the so-called "AI technologies" nowadays are just pseudo-artificial intelligence based on big data systems. Once they lose the support of big data, they immediately become artificial intelligence, and those seemingly intelligent functions will all disappear.

Even if there is a complete big data system as support, the existing AI technology cannot achieve absolute intelligence.

For example, some "AI voices" can't answer simple questions like "What is 1+1 in math?" by simply changing the question format to "What is 1 plus what is equal to 2," and they immediately become mentally retarded.

There are infinite combinations of language expressions, and it is impossible for a database to cover them all. Except for a few specific scenarios, it cannot cope with all fields.

For example, AlphaGo, which can beat the world champion at Go, can only be invincible at Go, but cannot play chess, military chess, or five-in-a-row...

True "artificial intelligence" means that it can, like humans, not only have a good ability to memorize knowledge, but also be able to draw inferences from one example and have the ability to learn to cope with various scenarios.

That is, they can not only answer 'what is 1+1', but also 'what is 1+what is 2' and 'what is 1 times N'; they can not only learn to play Go, but also all other chess games such as Chinese chess and military chess.
