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

Deng Jianian started from the existing projects and sorted out the business of deep space from the beginning.

"Our projects so far are profit-making film and television projects with deep space gazing, Fanxing.com, special effects plug-ins, cloud rendering and AI pull-up services, and..."

He took a look at Jiang Fu, Jiang Xinlou is the company of Jiang Fu and Lou Qingyan, not under the banner of Shenkong, so he is not sure whether to count the chip business or not.

"There are also chips," Jiang Fu answered naturally, "You can think of Shenkong as the product distributor of Jiangxinlou. Jiangxinlou is a research and development company. We only do research and development, regardless of sales."

"Okay," Deng Jianian said, "Counting chips, these are the six major profitable businesses of Deep Space."

"However, the management and operation of these six major businesses is very chaotic. Except for the film and television projects that have subsidiaries that are responsible for them, the other five are mixed together and are all in charge of the operation and planning department of the Deep Space Corporation. There is no effective set division of labor."

"Of course it is not feasible, because the operation methods of the six businesses are very different. The Fanxing platform is user-oriented, that is, the C-end business; cloud rendering and AI pull-up are both enterprise-oriented B-end businesses; special effects plug-ins At present, it is only sold to enterprises, but it will eventually be open to users, that is to say, it will change from the B-side to the C-side; as for the chip, it is not a service, but a product, and it needs another mode of operation.”

"The special effect plug-in is still to be considered, and the dispute over the AI ​​substitution has not been resolved. We cannot open it to ordinary users in the short term." Xia Huai couldn't help but said.

"If the problem is not solved, then solve it, promote AI legislation, and create a public opinion environment." Deng Jianian said, "The important thing is that the content field will definitely shift to UGC, and the special effect plug-in is the upstream of UGC video, allowing us to occupy Get ahead."

"It's like you can't wait for the rise of the self-media to do self-media. You only know that businessmen who follow the current situation will never be able to make great achievements. We should promote the current situation and create the current situation. Only in this way can we accomplish what others cannot do. To a height that no one else can stand."

Xia Huai pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, I understand."

She seemed to understand a little bit why Lou Qingyan admired Deng Jianian so much and must leave him the position that had been vacant for so long.These two do have something in common.

Deng Jianian returned to the topic, "I heard Mr. Xia explain fire's strategy of 'Stars and Moons'. I have to say that it is very clever. It is the most suitable path for the development of deep space. But why, the strategy has been proposed for so long, but there is no well implemented?"

He looked at Lou Qingyan, and Lou Qingyan looked up at the sky.

After a moment of silence, he concluded: "In short, because the boss is too lazy, Deep Space has gone on a wrong path, and now we need to pull it back. This is the first thing we have to do, to reshape the company structure."

"There is a second problem in deep space, that is, the stall is not spread out, and the research and development is too petty. Along the way, we obviously have many directions to do, but due to limited energy, we missed them all."

"For example, when we were working on special effects plug-ins, we can continue to do so, making it not just a plug-in, but an application software, and become China's 3dmaxs and AE."

"Another example is the animation business. In fact, it's not just animation. Special effects for film and television are also our advantage. However, you have laid a good foundation in the direction of animation, so that no matter whether domestic or foreign branches, they have not deepened in the direction of live-action movies."

"There is also a series of derivative development of natural language processing, which is the most regrettable, because there are too many things that can be done in this area, and our advantages are too great. The English version of echo dubbing, voice training platform, voice assistant, chat robot , a multilingual translator, etc... dubbing is just the most humble application of it."

"Another thing that I regret not doing is big data processing. Not long after the data centers in North America and Europe were unblocked, I learned that during the period of the blockade, the cloud rendering and AI filming services in deep space were stopped. The business was suspended. It’s easy to say, but if it affects the strategy, it will disrupt our overall pace.”

"This time the new graphics let the US and EU governments see that data blocking is useless to us, so they agreed to unblock it, but next time, they can still initiate the blocking, and they can still sanction us from data and computing power. So we must Strengthen the construction of big data."

He slowed down and continued: "Because the deep-space plate is too small and the fire's goal is very clear, we missed a lot of fruits that can be picked along the way. However, it's not too late to pick it now."

"That's the second thing we're going to do, expand."

Lou Qingyan laughed happily when he heard this.

Jiang Fu couldn't help laughing, Lou Qingyan probably didn't want to do these things, but he didn't do them after all, just like elementary school students who can't finish their summer homework.

He looked at Deng Jianian again, his eyes slowly became relieved, after all, he is a good person who can help Lou Qingyan with his summer homework.

Deng Jianian is still saying: "But too fast growth is also harmful to the enterprise, so in addition to rapid expansion, we also require stability. We must strengthen external cooperation, build corporate culture, and improve all aspects of the mechanism."

"This is the third thing we have to do, the infrastructure of the enterprise."

"Fire, to be honest, the current deep space closely follows your steps and only does what you want to do. Although it has strong research and development capabilities, it does not have a set of self-operating mechanisms. It is like a weapon in your hand. A weapon is as strong as it is strong, it has no soul."

He smiled and announced: "I think what I need to do is to turn the weapon into a fortress, so that deep space is no longer a tool for you alone, but a backing for all of us."

Only Deep Space, which has changed its structure in an all-round way, expanded its scale, possessed a profound foundation and culture, and can operate well even without fire, is a truly outstanding and powerful national enterprise.

"I don't know what your expectation is for Deep Space, but now, I have an expectation for it," Deng Jianian looked serious, "I hope that Deep Space can become the leader of domestic enterprises, not in the industry, but in the industry. Lead spiritually."

"I hope that the R&D-based and innovation-based technology-driven model of Deep Space can infect countless national enterprises, allow Chinese people to see the power of original and core technology, and drag national enterprises out of the quagmire of fast food culture. Everyone knows that without impetuousness, utilitarianism, or following trends, enterprises also have unlimited potential and possibilities.”

Maybe it was because the atmosphere was so good that he couldn't help but talk too much.

"Wait until the day when the overall domestic entrepreneurial atmosphere changes, that is, the day when our national enterprises will rise in an all-round way."

All four people watched him, and when he finished speaking, they applauded generously.

A long time later, Deng Jianian wrote in his memoirs that joining Deep Space was the most correct decision he had ever made in his life.

"I used to think that I had already worn out in the mall and had no persistence left, but fire is a very strong person. This kind of strength allows you to regain your original intention without any worries and do things you thought you couldn't do. .”

After the applause ended, Deng Jianian said to Lou Qingyan, "I still have a question for you."

"The stars and the moon are development strategies. I want to ask you, is there any strategy in the direction? Or, what are we going to do next?"

Lou Qingyan smiled and said, "Don't you know about VR?"

Deng Jianian pondered: "I always suspect that you have other considerations."

"Besides," he added, "it's impossible to let the matter of artificial intelligence be left alone. Now those political and business organizations are unwilling to tear themselves apart, so they can't do anything to you, but the threat you have shown is getting bigger and bigger, and one day they will rather You will be banned even if you tear your face, what should you do then?"

"What does it mean to block me even if you want to tear your face apart?" Lou Qingyan chuckled.

"For example, the list of entities." He hesitated for a moment, but still said, "We were not subject to import and export before, but if we want to make VR hardware in the future... To be honest, I'm really afraid that as soon as Deep Space announces that it will make hardware, it will immediately will be on the list."

Xie Jin interjected: "The power of deep space is too advanced, and it will only become more and more advanced. The contradiction between us and them is insoluble. I think the boss's way of dealing with it is the best. If we become stronger, they will not be able to do anything to us. "

Deng Jianian said: "You can take risks, but I can't. I have to think about what to do if the car overturns. I must prepare for the company's future."

Everyone looked at Lou Qingyan, Lou Qingyan smiled lazily: "Look at me, you guys are discussing, keep brainstorming, I'll see if you can come up with a solution."

The three of them racked their brains to discuss for a long time, but seeing Jiang Fu was also meditating, they asked, "If you have any thoughts, just tell me."

Jiang Fu said: "Actually...the best way is, we eat meat and let them drink soup."

"Ah?" Others said, "Isn't this just asking us to share the technology, isn't it a compromise?"

Jiang Fu shook his head, "It's not a good thing to monopolize technology and stand out. If we only know how to fight alone, the results we can achieve are very limited."

"In many cases, we can achieve more achievements only when the entire industry matures. Qingyan has done this in the brain-computer interface, Guoman, and VR industries. Why can't we do the same in the artificial intelligence industry?"

"Disclosing some low-level technologies is actually our own strategic need..." When he said this, he looked at Lou Qingyan, not sure if words like "disclosing technologies" would make him angry.

Lou Qingyan: "Go on."

"This is just my suggestion," Jiang Fu paused, "I think the time has come for deep space to disclose its technology. Disclosing some of the underlying technologies of artificial intelligence and promoting the construction of artificial intelligence infrastructure is what we should pursue in the next step... …narrowly defined strategy.”

Xie Jin didn't understand management, so he was surprised, while Xia Huai and Deng Jianian were lost in thought.

Jiang Fu continued: "Only by disclosing technology and promoting the construction of artificial intelligence infrastructure, can some businesses have the conditions to start - smart industry, smart city, driverless driving...etc."

Hearing this, Xie Jin understood, "Indeed, all these things must be based on some kind of perfect foundation."

Having said that, Xia Huai is still not angry, "But no matter what the reason is for making it public, it seems to compromise and admit defeat! Damn, those villains will definitely celebrate with each other!"

Jiang Fu smiled, "No,"

He was about to explain, but he heard Deng Jianian say: "You said that the promotion of artificial intelligence infrastructure is only a strategy in a narrow sense, so what is it in a broad sense?"

"Don't worry, it's actually easy to explain." Jiang Fu simply stood up, looked at Lou Qingyan, "I have a guess about the grand strategy, see if it's the same as what you think."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and wrote two big characters on the whiteboard behind him——

Ecology.

Xia Huai and Xie Jin suddenly realized, while Deng Jianian had already thought about it.

Third-rate companies make products, second-rate companies make platforms, and first-rate companies make ecology.

None of the star companies that have made their fortunes on the Internet does not have an ecosystem.

Microsoft's ecology around Windows, Apple's ecology around product family barrels, Ali's ecology around e-commerce, Penguin's ecology around communication software...

An ecological circle extends countless industrial chains, and the large and small enterprises that hang on the industrial chain are all subject to the owner of the ecological circle.

"I think the ecology of deep space should start with VR," Deng Jianian said, "or, we are actually building a VR ecosystem centered on Zhuang Zhou and Origin."

"VR is the next trend, but it is not the most critical," Jiang Fu said calmly. "Artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things are the key, and they are the core of the industrial revolution."

"But how?" Xie Jin was incredulous. As a technology-savvy person, he couldn't figure out how to build an artificial intelligence ecosystem. "I know about the Internet of Things. You can start with a general-purpose system, which is what Hongmeng system is doing. But A concept as broad as artificial intelligence can also create an ecology?"

Jiang Fu was silent for a moment, then turned around and wrote on the whiteboard: "Fire..."

While writing, he said: "If it is developed strong enough, then all those who oppose us today will be included in our ecosystem and subject to us."

After finishing speaking, drop the last two words.

Xie Jin looked at the line of words and couldn't help but stare. Xia Huai and Deng Jianian were not very technically savvy, so they were also surprised.

Lou Qingyan sighed: "Jiang Fu, can you read my mind?"

Jiang Fu looked at him and said: "You have never concealed the technical advantages of deep space in artificial intelligence, and you have attracted a group of wolves who are staring at you. As everyone knows, the more greedy they are for your technology, the more they will fall into your trap. The more it will become the most basic nourishment in the deep space ecosystem."

"When you took out that "Weak AI Programming Principles", you have been planning this game, haven't you?"

"That was also seen through by you."

"It's okay, it's just me."

On the whiteboard behind him, a line of handwriting was left there.

Fire language.
