Chapter 706: Response and Daily Life
The launch of Tengfei AI mobile phone has received a lot of response in the market.
The mobile phone boom that started in 2010 ended with the Hammer phone, the industry's dark horse Luo Yonghao, and the mobile phone boom also disappeared.
After entering the mobile phone industry, almost no one succeeded.
Any big capital would be deterred from this industry.
The main reason is that the domestic market has been divided up, and the foreign market has already taken shape. The difficulty of entering this industry again is simply not comparable to that of Xiaomi in 2010.
Tengfei AI Mobile Phone will definitely be listed independently in the future, and is currently 100% owned by Chen Pingsheng personally.
This project was launched to help Tengfei AI recover.
Otherwise, after so many years of continuous investment, the robots in the super factory alone cannot even recover 1/10 of the cost.
Not to mention that he invested 25 billion US dollars at one time.
In September, he donated 10 billion yuan to Shanghai again, but this money was donated to Tengfei Future Science and Technology University.
Over the next ten years, he donated tens of billions of yuan to Tengfei Future Science and Technology University every year.
To support the basic technology structure of the entire Tengfei Group and further improve talent training and models.
Tengfei Future Science and Technology University, with an investment of over 100 billion yuan, can accommodate more than 50,000 students at the same time.
It is definitely the largest private science and technology university in China with the most luxurious hardware facilities, no doubt about it.
We are still going through the approval process and are preparing to accept outstanding students from major universities.
It has to be said that his investment in the field of science and technology has been getting bigger and bigger.
The tens of billions of US dollars previously invested in employee housing are now gradually being paid back.
With the existing reputation of Tengfei Group, recruiting students should not be a big problem.
Outstanding students from the University of Science and Technology will be given priority admission to Tengfei Group in the future.
Tengfei Group’s salary and benefits have always been among the best in the country.
However, the main recruitment targets are R&D talents, and the requirements for academic qualifications and academic performance are particularly high.
As for those basic manual parts, they are gradually replaced by robots.
By the time the mobile phone launch conference was over, a high-level meeting within Tengfei Group actually proposed to enter the express delivery industry and even the future food delivery industry.
As we all know, it is a very high achievement for enterprises to help achieve social employment rate.
However, Tengfei AI Group proposed to enter the food delivery and express delivery industries, replacing them with artificial robots.
What does it mean?
Through small-scale pilot projects, robots that provide corresponding services are developed and then controlled by humans.
One technician at the group headquarters can control at least hundreds of robots.
As soon as this project was proposed, it was rejected by Chen Pingsheng.
Currently, the two sectors with the highest employment rates in China are food delivery and short videos.
Once these technology giants set their profit targets on these two groups.
It will undoubtedly bring about huge social conflicts.
It's fine for a company to manufacture robots for itself, there's nothing wrong with that and no one can say anything about it.
Even if the former assembly line workers are eliminated, at least 12 to 18 months' salary will be compensated.
Once they enter the takeout and express delivery markets, regardless of whether this thing can be done, the social contradictions involved cannot be ignored.
Moreover, Tengfei AI Group’s goal must not be to focus on the work areas of ordinary people.
This will only infinitely amplify the destructive power of technology.
It will also lead the entire group into a misunderstanding, that is, if you want to make money, you should use robots to replace the huge number of employed people in society.
This is absolutely not allowed.
The role of technology is to serve people and enable them to have more efficient work and life.
Once the target is set on the huge basic industries, it will definitely be a disaster.
Ordinary industries don’t have the capacity to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in research and development.
It can be said that if Tengfei AI is not restricted, it can eliminate more than 90% of novel writers within five years.
In the future, even small industries like novels will be completely replaced by AI.
Users only need to input the content they want to see into AI, and it will be fully generated very quickly.
His writing style is simply not comparable to that of ordinary young authors.
Even novel authors can be completely replaced, let alone takeout and express delivery.
Tengyou Media's digital live broadcast robot has also been developing well.
It is also because of these high-level discussions and my own concerns.
On October 21, Chen Pingsheng started his global northern tour.
The general meaning is to take the senior management team to visit various AI industry R&D centers of Tengfei around the world for a month.
The first stop is the Qiumingshan Center in Guangzhou.
Tengfei AI has a total of 18 R&D centers around the world with an investment of over 10 billion yuan.
Among them, Guangzhou Qiuminshan is one of the larger ones, with an investment of over 18 billion yuan.
It covers an area of about 790 acres, with numerous R&D buildings connected by an internal train.
It has a total of more than 12,000 Tengfei AI R&D engineers.
The Qiumingshan R&D Center also mainly serves Tengfei AI mobile phones.
The goal is to develop an AI mobile phone project that is more efficient and humane.
In addition to the R&D center in Guangzhou, there is also a R&D center in Shanghai, Beijing, and Xi'an, all serving mobile phones.
One of the most important R&D projects is the Tengfei AI system.
This project has been under development for over five years, and the basic version has actually been released.
It’s just that it can’t be compared with the Android system that has been developed for so many years, let alone Apple.
Developing its own mobile phone AI system is not too difficult for Tengfei AI Group, which invests more than 50 billion in R&D expenses every year.
The difficulty lies in wanting to be comparable to Android, including Apple systems.
If you can no longer match these two systems, you might as well continue to use Android, which at least can achieve high stability.
This project is also the core R&D project of Tengfei AI mobile phone.
At present, it will take at least two or three years to truly be comparable to Android and achieve extremely high stability.
In addition, they are also developing the Tengfei AI chip, and only the design process needs to be developed.
Chip manufacturing is not something they can get involved in at all.
Once these two aspects are completed, their Tengfei AI mobile phone will be a combination of hardware and software.
It is among the best in the world, at least second only to Samsung and Apple.
Not only did he visit the relevant majors and R&D in the mobile phone field, he also visited the related R&D of smart homes including future AI robots.
In the AI-related fields and industries alone, Tengfei Group invests more than 50 billion yuan in research and development every year.
If Tengfei New Energy Vehicle and Tengde Times Battery are included, the annual R&D expenses alone are at least 120 billion.
With over 100 billion yuan in R&D spending every year, we can indeed do a lot.
It also brings opportunities to the entire Tengfei AI Group every day.
Patents of all sizes involve various industries. It can only be said that there are so many opportunities in this situation.
Giving up is obviously wiser than picking up.
After this global northern tour ended, Chen Pingsheng clearly defined the future of Tengfei Group as the vast sea of stars.
Rather than using technology to eliminate ordinary people's strategic goal.
He also directly stated that Tengfei AI Group does not need to have any profit targets in the next five years.
Don't worry about financial losses.
You just need to concentrate on developing the Tengfei AI mobile phone system and AI chips, and also let your imagination run wild.
Think about things that capable people cannot think of, and even have wild ideas about developing an AI robot for traditional Chinese medicine.
Just don't set your sights on ordinary people's jobs anymore. That's too scary.
The only thing he could do was to use the robots he developed to upgrade his own super factory.
It can also enable AI technology to achieve better autonomous driving.
But I absolutely disagree with Tengfei Group using this technology to eliminate all Didi drivers.
Even if they could do it, and this industry has ample money to make, it wouldn't work.
They should learn from Musk and create some imaginative technologies.
He has the money himself, so why can't he achieve it?
Use over 300 to 500 billion yuan in R&D investment to attack ordinary employees.
This is simply hooliganism in the technology industry.
They can subvert some industries, such as the traditional smart home appliance field, but they must never take away the jobs of ordinary people.
Especially delivery drivers.
Perhaps it is because Tengfei AI Group's annual losses are too exaggerated that some executives are racking their brains to use existing technologies to subvert those traditional basic industries.
Thereby achieving huge profits.
This is completely contrary to Chen Pingsheng's idea of doing AI.
What he wants to do is a business that no one is doing now, which will be a big business in ten years.
And it is definitely not the current basic industries.
Therefore, he simply announced that Tengfei AI Group does not need any profit-making strategic goals in the next five years.
Focus all our energy on developing future core technologies.
By the time he returned from the global tour, it was already mid-November.
After returning to Shanghai, he set off for Guangzhou.
…
Guangzhou, Baiyun University.
In the blink of an eye, An An has been in college for almost three months.
The drama "Fuhao" starring her has also been officially released on major video websites and platforms.
Because of Zhao Liying's participation, it became a hit as soon as it was released.
Countless people flocked to major platforms just to see Zhao Liying's first short drama.
Facts have proved that with Zhao Liying's participation, the quality will not be bad.
An An and several other girls in the dormitory watched TV series together and ate some peanuts and sunflower seeds.
It was such a lively scene.
An An is very skilled and has had a foundation in martial arts since childhood.
The fighting is more interesting, and since this is a big production, the scenes are also quite grand.
It is definitely not comparable to the previous scenes of three or five extras wielding swords and guns.
Long dramas now tend to develop into short dramas on a large scale.
An An was still in the dormitory, performing a set of mantis boxing in front of everyone.
This is the peerless martial art she has practiced since she was a child.
It was no problem for him to control the opponent, and the fight was so exciting.
The girl named Turtle was the first to stand up and applaud excitedly, saying, "An An is amazing."
The short-haired heroic girl said the same thing, "You are really amazing. I didn't expect you to have such good martial arts skills. An An, do you know how to do Tai Chi? Can you teach me some Tai Chi?"
"I definitely know a little bit of Tai Chi, but not much."
An An is also very good at Tai Chi health preservation and can easily master it.
It was the girl next to her who said, "An An, you've already acted in such a great skit. Are you going to be a big star in the future? There will definitely be a lot of people in our school who will see it. If they knew it was you, a lot of boys would probably chase you."
Will this happen?
Many boys came to pursue her, and An An laughed exaggeratedly with her hands on her hips.
She doesn't have any airs of a rich girl.
It’s not that she likes being pursued by many boys, it’s just that she has never had this experience before.
"No more words. To celebrate the success of my first short play, I'm treating you tonight. You can choose the location!"
"Okay, An An is treating us so we must give her a good meal."
After a pause, the girl suddenly asked, "An An, are you familiar with Zhao Liying? Can you help me get her autograph? I like her very much, and my family likes her too."
"Ask her for an autograph, no problem. Next time I see her I'll get two for you."
This is a trivial matter for An An. She is not a fan of celebrities, and she will not ask any celebrity for an autograph.
The four girls went out for dinner together. An An walked briskly on the university playground with her hands behind her back. She was in a very good mood.
There are a lot of food courts outside universities, which mainly cater to the consumption needs of college students.
Because of the temperature in Guangdong, the temperature here is still around 20 degrees even in November.
All you need to go out is a small jacket.
An An found a Korean barbecue restaurant where the prices were not high and the food tasted pretty good.
She is very popular among the girls in her class and she herself comes here often.
The four girls sat there for a while, and suddenly two boys came over to pay the bill.
There's no need to ask, you can tell at a glance that he's here to pursue Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang is good-looking, so naturally she has no shortage of suitors.
But surprisingly, there was another person who wanted to ask An An for an autograph.
Maybe he recognized her after watching her skit!
It was the first time in her life that An An signed an autograph for someone, and she was quite excited.
The phone in her pocket rang. An An picked it up and found out that it was her father who had returned from overseas.
"Dad, where are you?"
"I'm at Taiyi Villa. Do you have time to come back in the evening?"
"Yes, is there something wrong?"
"It's not much, let's talk about it when you come back!"
After Chen Pingsheng hung up the phone, he chatted with Zhang Wanyi and Chu Qiuyan.
TikTok has done quite well overseas and has been very successful in globalization.
The 2% of TikTok shares he currently holds is worth approximately tens of billions of US dollars.
He was not in a hurry to cash out, but Tengyou Media wanted to acquire the shares.
Officially became one of the top five shareholders of Douyin Group.
This can be said to be of great benefit to its future stock price. After all, fundamentally, Tengyou Media still depends on the Douyin platform for its growth.
Once it becomes a major shareholder of Douyin Group, it will be of great benefit to its voice in the entire industry.
The same is true for future stock prices.
Chen Pingsheng personally no longer needs this share. Even if he cashes out tens of billions of US dollars, it will not be of much use in recent years.
He called An An back because he hoped that she could pursue her own interests during college and not destroy her own mission and identity.
You can’t really make filming your main job!
