The storm of electronic fraud, the day I was deceived into northern Myanmar

Chapter 637 New Business

Back at the dining table, Hu Laosan was already a little tipsy and his cheeks were flushed.

When he saw me coming back, he asked me to sit down quickly and asked expectantly: "Brother, what new project were you so mysterious about just now?"

I cleared my throat pretending to be deep and lowered my voice and said, "Third brother, I plan to build an online fortune-telling service and use artificial intelligence technology to create a fortune-telling system."

"Online fortune telling?" Hu Laosan blinked in confusion, "Don't young people today believe in science? Will they still believe in this?"

"The third brother doesn't know something." I shook my head proudly, "Nowadays, the pace of society is so fast, everyone has anxiety. Young people are under great pressure and like to find some spiritual sustenance when they are confused. When it comes to fortune telling, Xin has If you don’t believe it, you have nothing, just for peace of mind. Besides, everyone has curiosity. Who can bear it without spending money to see your own luck? "

Hu Laosan nodded thoughtfully: "It makes sense. But now there are so many fortune-telling apps, how can we attract users?"

"It relies on technology!" I smiled mysteriously, "Our fortune-telling system looks like a bunch of mysterious divination on the surface, but in fact it is supported by big data analysis. Users only need to input some basic information, and the system can combine various It provides a set of seemingly reasonable and well-founded analysis on calendars and fortunes. This is much more professional than those air-to-air counterparts on the market."

"Information? How detailed do you want it?" Hu Laosan asked alertly.

"It's just some personal information, such as birthday, home address, and mobile phone number. They are all regular content filled in when registering an app." I waved my hand nonchalantly, "Who doesn't throw information everywhere these days? Collect this Point to data, it makes sense.”

Hu Laosan seemed to have thought of something and said in deep thought: "Lao Yang, why do I think you want to do big data business under the guise of fortune telling? What do you want to do after you get so much user information?"

"Third brother, what do you think?" I smiled and said, "When we were in northern Myanmar, you also knew how difficult it was to get customer information? How much of the information purchased from various channels was real? ?How useful is it?"

I continued: "Through fortune-telling on the Internet, the information collected is much more detailed than what can be purchased, and a person's income and job can also be known very well. Based on this, we will select a batch of large items, and then based on the information Customizing the corresponding script, what do you think is our success rate in placing orders?"

After hearing what I said, Hu Laosan's eyes shone, and he lost all his energy for a while: "It makes sense! And Internet fortune telling is legal and compliant in China! This is equivalent to blatantly collecting user information and then monetizing it." !”

I nodded.

"I knew your brain was quick!" Hu Laosan said with excitement.

In fact, the inspiration for this new project comes from Zhou Yang’s AI face-changing system.

When he was running data before, I also studied the AI system and discovered some principles of neural network analysis.

At that time, I was thinking, since AI can change faces, why can't it be used for other things?

Ever since, I thought about many possibilities, but they were all rejected one by one.

Among them, I also thought about building an AI automatic phone fraud system.

But the idea is wonderful, but the technology can’t keep up.

After all, when people are communicating, it is difficult for AI to control people's emotions.

Later, when He Hong came to Lao Cai, I did not continue to study this matter. It was not until I took a boat to Dubai that I had nothing to do on the boat, so I continued to think about this issue.

At that time, I was thinking, why is this man's fate so confusing?

Thinking about it, I thought of fortune telling.

Gradually, a new project slowly unfolded in my mind...

At present, no one in the entire electronic fraud market is doing this kind of thing.

I don’t know if I can succeed, but now that I have reached this point, no matter whether I succeed or not, I must quickly establish a foothold in Hongsheng Park!

Either way, once it happens, my status in Hongsheng and Mr. Ni’s image will be improved again!

……

Early the next morning, I hurriedly called Zhou Yang to discuss with him the feasibility of this online fortune-telling system.

Zhou Yang sat across from me with a worried look on his face, holding a cup of freshly ground coffee in his hand.

Last night he stayed up late to write code again, and now his face looked tired.

"Let me ask you something." I said straight to the point, "If we build an AI system for online fortune telling, will there be any technical difficulties?"

"AI fortune telling?" Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't react. "You mean, use artificial intelligence to analyze user information and tell their fortunes?"

"That's right." I nodded, "Collect the user's basic information, and then use AI to generate a set of numerology analysis for them, just like a real fortune teller."

Zhou Yang frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he raised his head and said: "Technically there is no big problem. The key is where does the data come from? No matter how powerful the artificial intelligence is, without enough data to train the model, it is just a bunch of empty shelves."

"You don't have to worry about that." I smiled confidently, "I'll figure out the data. Just tell me, how long will it take to build such a system?"

"Well..." Zhou Yang fell into deep thought again.

He took a sip of coffee and frowned, seeming to be searching for something in his mind.

After a long while, he said slowly: "Boss, I remember that there is an AI company abroad. They have developed a super powerful model. This model has been pre-trained with massive texts. As long as you make some fine-tuning on the basis of this model, you can specifically Instill some knowledge of traditional Chinese culture and numerology into it, and then pair it with a beautiful front-end interface, and this online fortune-telling system will be ready."

"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows, "Then if we want to use it, how much will it cost?"

"That's the problem." Zhou Yang sighed, "This model is not completely open source, and you need to pay a large licensing fee to use it. And after all, it was developed by foreigners, and their understanding of Chinese is always limited. If you want to achieve the ultimate goal, For good results, we have to retrain based on it. This requires a lot of computing power and manpower."

"So what do you mean, let's make a set from scratch?" I asked.

"Of course it's best to do this." Zhou Yang nodded, "But training a large model from scratch is a huge project and cannot be completed in a year and a half. Moreover, the technology is also a problem and requires professional talents."

"That's true." I couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

I want to strike while the iron is hot and develop this fortune-telling system as soon as possible so that I can gain a foothold in the park.

Seeing my hesitation, Zhou Yang suggested: "How about this? Let's use the API interface of that model to make a preliminary version and run through the whole process first. When the system is basically formed and the user experience is almost accumulated, by then When the time comes, we will replace the core modules with our own bit by bit, and finally achieve complete autonomy and controllability. The difficulty and workload will be much smaller."

My heart moved, and I felt that what Zhou Yang said made sense.

He understands technology, so why should I worry about it?

So I immediately made the decision: "I will do as you say! You can mention the budget and manpower, and I will give you my full support."

Zhou Yang beamed with joy: "Thank you, boss! If we have enough manpower and resources, we will definitely be able to produce a version that can be seen by people within a month."

"A month?" I was surprised and delighted, "Are you sure?"

"I promise you!" Zhou Yang slapped his chest, "As long as you support me, boss, there is no technical problem that I can't solve!"

I am most familiar with his pride and confidence.

While in the northern Myanmar campus, the company's server was attacked by hackers and almost paralyzed.

At that time, Zhou Yang didn't sleep for three days and three nights. He finally repaired the system and gave the hackers a reverse trace, turning them from a broiler into a botnet.

With such a technical master in charge, what else do I have to worry about?

I laughed heartily and patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder: "Then I'll leave this matter entirely to you! I've already thought of a name for the project, it's called Master of Destiny! I'm waiting for your good news!"

Master of Destiny, such a meaningful name.

In this era, everyone wants to take a peek into the future and want to know whether the goddess of fate is on their side.

And I, Yang Lei, am the one who helped them uncover the mystery!

However, this revelation may cause someone to lose their fortune.

Thinking of this, I feel complicated and excited.

Although there is a sense of guilt, there is more of an eagerness to try.

Fraud is a huge gamble.

Once a liar, always a liar...

Since I, Yang Lei, have embarked on this path, there will never be a way back.

Instead of lingering for a while, it’s better to give it a try!

That night, I made another appointment with Hu Laosan and told him the news.

As a partner, he should know the progress of the project.
