You are a black technology boss, you didn't say it sooner!

The discussion caused by the bug animation has been raging, which naturally attracted the attention of capital.

How many giants are there in the domestic entertainment industry?What does a software that can change the status quo of the original painting and modeling industry, but no one understands the principle, mean to the entertainment industry?

Without any hesitation, everyone turned their attention to deep space technology.

A question quietly appeared on Zhihu, "Why do you say that the background of Deep Space Technology Co., Ltd., which released the bug animation, is mysterious? Is there any reasonable guess about it?"

People in related fields focused on this issue and launched a wide range of discussions.

"I have been paying attention to this company since the first time I heard about this software. The mystery is really mysterious. Let me give you a brief analysis."

"First of all, this is the copyright ownership of the software found on the industrial and commercial website. There is no doubt that Deep Space Technology is the developer and producer of the bug animation."

"There is only one name in the shareholder column of this company, which is DayDream Holdings. The latter cannot be found from domestic industrial and commercial information. In other words, it is an overseas company. Deep Space Technology is its wholly-owned subsidiary in China. "

"Then the question is, why does a foreign-funded company choose such a heaven-defying product to launch in China? Could it be that the current situation of the domestic industry is particularly superior? No way, it is so credible to say that it is to help the poor." Spend."

"So, I began to speculate that this company named DayDream is not a real foreign-funded company. I checked the public business information of various countries, and found no such name. shore company."

"For those who don't know the science, offshore companies refer to companies established in some special regions, which are generally used to avoid taxation, overseas financing, and bypass some troublesome policy controls. Its information is highly confidential, and it can be fundamentally Can't find it."

"Although no specific information can be found, we can infer that DayDream is an offshore company established by a Chinese, and it carries out business activities in China by holding shares in Deep Space Technology."

"The background of the head office is so mysterious, so can we see some clues from the subsidiaries? The legal representative of Deep Space Technology is named Xie Jin. Coincidentally, this name appeared in the news. He used to be a member of Jiahui Technology. Looking at the other personnel listed in the business information, several names appear in the same report as him."

"That is to say, the main personnel currently disclosed by Deep Space Technology are all former Jiahui Technology employees, and their entire R&D team collectively switched jobs and came to the new company."

"In addition, the public office address of Deep Space Technology is also near Jiahui Building, but it is being renovated there, and no one was seen when I went to look for it."

"We have no way of knowing the relationship between Jiahui and Deep Space, the relationship between Xie Jin and Fire, and the relationship between Xie Jin and DayDream."

"But I tend to think that Xie Jin is just a spokesperson pushed to the front of the stage. Because from various behaviors, the boss of DayDream is not willing to disclose his identity."

This hardcore answer was released, and it quickly climbed to the top and became a highly praised answer.

Netizens commented one after another: "Fuck, this is really mysterious!"

"It feels like reading a crime novel. I didn't expect the background of the bug animation to be so magical."

"I don't think Jiahui and Shenkong should have nothing to do with each other. They all went bankrupt, and the second ancestor has disappeared for a long time. Don't compare a bankrupt company with a new company."

Of course, the industry has already discovered what even netizens who eat melons can discover.The owner behind the deep space technology is so mysterious that there is no way to find out.

Some people with ulterior motives approached Xie Jin directly, trying to extract information about DayDream's boss from him, but he barely managed it.Saving the country again, he directly started to discuss business with Xie Jin.

This business that everyone wants to talk about, naturally belongs to the bug animation.As long as there is a company with a layout in the entertainment field, no one wants to get it. In addition, Deep Space Technology is a small company that has just been established, and it seems that it is extremely easy to snatch it.These kinds of things make some people just around the corner.

Apart from throwing money at Xie Jin directly, there were also those who tactfully offered to inject capital. The conditions proposed could be called angel investment, but Xie Jin remained unmoved.

Of course, Lou Qingyan was essentially unmoved.

Xie Jin actually didn't understand: "We were short of funds in the early days. Wouldn't it be good to accept this angel investment? Letting them invest in aerospace technology will not affect the development of DayDream."

Lou Qingyan said: "Old Xie, have you noticed a phenomenon in this industry for so many years?"

"What phenomenon?"

"It's becoming more and more difficult for small companies to get ahead. Halfway through the development of promising start-up companies, they are either acquired by big companies or run out of business."

Xie Jin let out a "huh" and didn't say yes or no.

Lou Qingyan glanced at him and said, "Do you believe it? There will be a phenomenon in the future. Giant enterprises will grow bigger and bigger, medium-sized enterprises will gradually disappear, and small enterprises will bloom everywhere. The size of enterprises will diverge infinitely towards two ends. It is a giant company, and one end is the soaring individual value.”

Xie Jin was a little hard to understand, "What, what?"

"Just think like this," Lou Qingyan patted him on the shoulder, "As long as it's not necessary, you should accept less financing to reduce the risk of outside opinions intervening."

"Looking at the long term, although financing can quickly expand the scale of the company, it also means the loss of some initiative. For other startups, it may be a good thing to let other opinions intervene, but for us, it is a burden. "

He tapped his temple, "Every step we take in the future, it's all here."

Therefore, Xie Jin rejected all the bosses who came to him, and even showed a tough attitude when facing some stalkers, without considering how many people he would offend.

Only two people found Lou Qingyan directly.

One is Zheng Feng. He tested Lou Qingyan's attitude towards bug animation, and found that the possibility of acquisition was very small, so he stopped mentioning it.

The other one was actually the Echo Technology project manager who released Lou Qingyan's pigeon.

When Lou Qingyan transferred vocalcords, he made an appointment with the project manager, but was tricked by the other party's secretary.

He later received a letter of apology.The other party explained that the regular meeting was suddenly extended that day, and when Lou Qingyan came, he was really in a meeting, and the secretary went to receive him on his own initiative.

Lou Qingyan didn't bother to think about whether this email was true or not, it didn't matter whether it was left or right.

Later when Vocalcords was released, this man reacted instantly and realized that Vocalcords was the software that Lou Qingyan came to sell that day, and decisively sent a second letter of apology, saying that he would fire the previous secretary.

The project manager, named Cheng Tao, is a very interesting person. He expressed his remorse without hesitation in the email, and expressed his enthusiasm for looking forward to the next cooperation blablabla... he didn't care about face at all.

Today, Lou Qingyan received the third email from the other party.

Unlike everyone else, his purpose is not to bug animation, but to develop an application in cooperation with Deep Space Technology.

His idea aroused Lou Qingyan's interest, not only agreed to the dinner, but also planned to pick two people from Xie Jin's R&D team to bring it with him.

This afternoon, still in Jiahui's large conference room, Lou Qingyan was holding a meeting for the company.

"Let me talk about a few small things first. One is the problem of moving, our newly rented office is next door; the other is the problem of recruitment..."

After finishing talking about the trivial matters, he said: "Then, let me tell you about the company's research and development direction in the next period of time."

It’s still the same whiteboard, still with big characters flying like dragons and phoenixes, with two names on it: special effects plug-in, natural language processing.

"Let's talk about the special effects plug-in first, and we'll talk about the second project later."

He looked around and said, "I asked you to write a report on competing products and analyze those special effects software. How is it? What do you think?"

Someone said: "Boss, what you said before was too scary. We all thought that you were going to overthrow other products and make a new one yourself. When we saw the workload, we were terrified."

"It turned out to be developing a plug-in, which was much simpler than imagined."

Software like 3dsMAX cannot be released without the joint development of hundreds of people for several years.Lou Qingyan's words were so second-guess before, they thought this guy's ambition suddenly swelled to the sky.

Fortunately, just developing a plug-in is equivalent to developing a function for the original software, and a small team of several people can also do it.

"...But what's the point of us doing this." Someone said, "Developing plug-ins for special effects software? In China? Just kidding."

It's not that they slander the industry, it's the status quo - almost no one in China uses the genuine version of these software.

Autodesk is better. Adobe has given up on treatment. Their software prices in China are much higher than those abroad, and no matter how much the public protests, they will not be moved.

You don't even need genuine software, so you still expect him to use genuine plugins?

"This is not a problem, the plug-in we developed has no possibility of being cracked."

After Lou Qingyan finished speaking, he was silent for a while, and then said, "However, it sounds uncomfortable to use genuine plug-ins instead of genuine software."

There is no such thing as piracy in Interstellar, and he almost forgot what the word meant.

"That's why we don't sell plug-ins. Let's save the country with a curve this time. After making the plug-ins, we keep them for our own use."

"This...what do you mean keeping it for yourself?"

It was Xie Jin who came to his senses, "God damn curve to save the country... Your goal is not to develop software at all, you want to enter the film and television industry!"

Lou Qingyan smiled, "Isn't that good? You know how profitable the film and television industry is now, isn't it more profitable than developing software?"

Xie Jin felt that it was too difficult to describe in one word, let's think about what Lou Qingyan has done in this period of time.

In order to promote Lou Dayuan Ghost Animal, he took out a Dayuan Dance.In order to promote vocalcords, I took out a song "Morpheus".In order for them to develop bug animations, come up with a set of weak AI programming theory.

Now in order to enter the film and television industry, directly develop a set of special effects plug-ins, the kind of special effects plug-ins that can cause industry revolution!

This wave... is basically a dimensionality reduction blow.

Seek the psychological shadow area of ​​the bosses and opponents.

Lou Qingyan didn't know Director Xie's complaints in his heart, and said again: "I won't go into details about the design of those plug-ins, you know it well. In short, it is the application of weak AI programming principles."

The only girl in the group suddenly raised her hand and asked, "Brother Lou, we have no problem with the algorithm, but we don't have enough data. How can we train artificial intelligence?"

As we all know, there are two major determinants of the strength of artificial intelligence, one is the algorithm and the other is the data.

The algorithm is its own structure, and the data is the knowledge it learns.

Just like human beings, a newly created AI system must go through continuous learning and training in massive data in order to improve its intelligence.Otherwise, it cannot become artificial intelligence at all, at best it is an artificial mental retardation.

Bug animations only require functions but not quality, and their data volume is just enough.This also leads to a very rough output of bug animations, frequent bugs in the entire software, and switching to mental retardation mode from time to time.

Now, they have experience, algorithms, and theoretical guidance, and it is only a matter of time before the program is built.But the program is built, but there is not enough data to train it.

Facing the question, Lou Qingyan calmly asked, "Do you know why bug animations are completely free?"

Everyone was stunned.

The function of bug animation is against the sky, but it has no profit, and even refuses to open an advertising space, which has caused considerable discussion.

Some people think that because it has too many bugs, the development team is embarrassed to charge.Of course this is pure bullshit.

Some people think that free is only temporary, and there will definitely be paid items later.

The R&D team agreed that it was because they hadn't considered operations, so they didn't even bother to think about profits.

When Zheng Feng tested Lou Qingyan, he specifically mentioned the concept of "channel cooperation".He feels that even if the software is not willing to sell copyrights or charge fees, it is possible to add a "login account to use" function, so that they can use this to expand channels, and it will not waste such a large amount of traffic.

That's right, everyone thought Lou Qingyan was too wasteful.

The software brings such a huge amount of traffic, but does not consider how to realize it. What is it if it is not a waste?

Until this moment, Xie Jin and the others finally understood.The reason for not setting any profit points is because Lou Qingyan doesn't want these things to hinder the use of any user.

He wants to spread the software as much as possible to cover the entire market... because all the data needed to train special effects AI can be collected from bug software.

Collecting data is the fundamental purpose of releasing bug animations.

Money has long been eclipsed by comparison, oil has been eclipsed even more, and financial figures in the trading market are gradually losing their status.

When smart technology begins to rise, data is the most precious thing in this era.
