Reborn in 2000 as a scholar

If there is no Lin Jinqi, then Liu Chang may be the greatest pride of Tsinghua University's mathematics major in the past five years.But precisely because of Lin Jinqi's existence, Liu Chang had to exist in Lin Jinqi's shadow.Ordinary people already have a "Yuliang complex" under such circumstances, but Liu Chang does not, because he is Lin Jinqi's number one fanboy.In Liu Chang's own words, if Lin Jinqi didn't know that he would be admitted to Tsinghua University, he would have chosen Peking University long ago.After all, when it comes to purely discussing mathematics, Tsinghua University is still not enough in front of Peking University.

Although Liu Chang's words were straightforward, they broke the hearts of many old professors in the mathematics department. Could it be that the gifted children who are engaged in mathematics have now lighted up their "venomous tongue" talent?First Lin Jinqi who couldn't come to the Department of Mathematics, and then Liu Chang who reluctantly came to Tsinghua because of Lin Jinqi.

Although Liu Chang has not yet received the official admission email from Princeton University, he already knows from Lin Jinqi's email that his admission has been confirmed, so he is not in such a hurry to discuss with the school about the postgraduate guarantee in this school. .Although there is no need to worry about admissions, studying abroad is not a particularly simple matter. Whether it is visas or accommodation, you need to worry about it.Fortunately, Lin Jinqi has been studying at Princeton University for almost two years before Liu Chang, so Lin Jinqi can still help with many things, so Liu Chang is in a happier mood, and started to sort out his research topics, and see if he can Publish a heavyweight dissertation prior to fall admission.

Although Princeton University has never said that the number and quality of papers are related to degrees, but fools know that the more high-quality papers you have, the faster you can get a degree from Princeton University.This time, Liu Chang did not discuss the thesis through the teachers of Tsinghua University, but went directly to Lin Jinqi.In Liu Chang's words, you will be my mentor in half a year at most, and if you become competent earlier, it's just a matter of practice.Seeing Liu Chang's shameless behavior, Lin Jinqi knew he agreed.

"Now that 3G network technology is very mature, and mainstream American mobile communication companies such as AT&T and Verizon Wireless have begun to promote their 3G services, then the next generation of Apple mobile phones should come out." Regulus Alpha At the weekly meeting of the laboratory, Lin Jinqi called up the recent reports of some American technology media on the projector.When Lin Jinqi crossed, Jobs had passed away for many years, so the public opinion on him also tended to be rational.

The industry recognizes that Jobs is the greatest "product manager" in the electronic product industry. Whether it is the Apple II computer, MacBook, iMac, or later iPod, iPhone, and iPad, under the leadership of Jobs, Apple has defined industry standards with its own products. And even guide the consumption trend.Therefore, Lin Jinqi's first target in the wireless era is Jobs and his Apple, so Alpha Labs has an intelligence collection department dedicated to Apple.

In the eyes of outsiders, Alpha Labs is mainly for supercomputers, but insiders know that the real purpose of Alpha Labs is mobile devices and their hardware and software, and the most critical of which are chips and operating systems. Lin Jinqi also hopes that Alpha Labs The laboratory can participate in the formulation of 4G technical standards and become a leader in standard formulation in the era of 5G technology.However, Lin Jinqi did not disclose these goals to the public, because the current Alpha Lab is not the Alpha Lab in Lin Jinqi's mind, and the full version of the lab in Lin Jinqi's mind will only be after all Regulus Labs are relocated to China in the future.

"Perhaps before Jobs returned to Apple, no one could have imagined that Apple could make a comeback. Their computer business was almost dead, but Jobs found another way to start with mobile entertainment devices, redefining the record industry market with the iPod. And When everyone thought that Jobs was going to continue to make waves in the record industry, he threw out the iPhone, a mobile communication product that defined smartphones. I don't want people to treat iPods and iPhones differently, because these two devices are in fact It can be unified. Who stipulated that mobile phones cannot listen to music? Nokia's mobile phones have already done this. Will Jobs give up this function on the iPhone?

Now that you can listen to music, why can't you watch movies?And with the increase of mobile network bandwidth and speed, why can't the mobile phone become the auxiliary terminal of the computer or even replace the computer?You guys remember the iCareHealth company I sold in the first half of the year?What would happen if a sports bracelet and a smartphone were combined?What if HomeShield was combined with a smartphone?What if your phone could control your home appliances?The iPhone can do all these things, so do you think Apple just wants to get a share of the entertainment market and the communication market?Well, again, if Apple can do it, we can too.Our next product is SmartPad, a mobile office computer. "Lin Jinqi showed the design of the tablet on the projector.

Before the concept of mobile computers appeared, many people actually thought about how to make laptops more portable. Therefore, in the late 1990s, the concepts of "handheld computers" and "handheld computers" emerged, and a new laptop was born. A product called a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). PDA was also popular in China for a short time. Li Xiang, who was still the popular hostess of "Happy Camp" at that time, once endorsed the domestic PDA of "Business Communication", which won the favor of many middle-aged men who claim to be successful.At the same time, Chinese people have also given full play to the "micro-innovation" style, splitting and downgrading the functions of commercial PDAs that were originally too expensive, so a learning PDA for students appeared.Of course, it can also be called an "electronic dictionary".However, in addition to the function of looking up the dictionary, the electronic dictionary headed by Wenquxing also comes with some functions such as teaching interaction, schedule arrangement, note taking, calculation, and games, which can be regarded as a weakened version of PDA.

In the European and American markets, a computer company named PALM is the dominant company in the PDA market. Its PalmOS even monopolizes more than [-]% of the global PDA operating system market, which is almost the Microsoft of the PDA industry.The important thing is that it not only produces the operating system and tool software for PDA, but also produces the PDA product itself.It can be said that if Apple and Google set off a war of smart phones and smart tablets, PALM company can still live very well.

Rao is that both iOS and Andriod have squeezed PalmOS out of the mainstream operating system market, and Palm was sold to Hewlett-Packard at a good price.It's just that after HP bought PALM, it has been doing nothing. Seeing that the tablet computer market has completely become an era of two heroes fighting for hegemony.But now Jobs is still laying out the mobile phone market, and has no time to estimate the tablet PC market; and Google has not yet realized the importance of the mobile market.Therefore, Lin Jinqi was given a chance to beat the time difference, so that he could pre-empt the layout.

"It is undeniable that the SmartPad is indeed an amazing product design. However, the product has changed from design drawings to prototypes, and finally to mass production. These two processes are not so simple." Sheen, who is now in charge of Alpha Lab Professor Berger said.

"I looked at the technical indicators of the product. Basically, all our hardware and software must be customized for this product, and it must be the best product of this era. In this way, the price of our product But it’s not low. Once the price of a product exceeds the market’s tolerance, it will lose its sales meaning. At the same time, it should be noted that since the software and hardware we need are not mass-produced products, our quality control It would be very troublesome."

Professor Sheinberg is not the kind of professor who can only do experiments in the laboratory. On the contrary, he has successfully commercialized a number of patents and runs a small company of his own.Lin Jinqi discovered this special professor through a headhunting company. After several rounds of negotiations, Lin Jinqi successfully recruited this professor who has made great achievements in the field of mobile communication equipment on the condition of wholly acquiring Professor Sheinberg's company and laboratory. expert.Professor Sheinberg's words directly pointed out two fatal points of Lin Jinqi's current products, one is the lack of its own suppliers, and the other is the lack of effective quality control mechanism.

Lacking your own suppliers is tantamount to exposing your heart to the eyes of the enemy, who can give you a fatal blow at any time.Why is Apple investing in its own accessory factory?It is to ensure that one's suppliers will not be wooed by the enemy.Why is the Samsung mobile phone as strong as the undead Xiaoqiang?That's because the Samsung Group behind Samsung mobile phones has a complete product supply chain. I can cut off the supply channels of Samsung's mobile phone enemies at any time, and then give Samsung mobile phones various discounts to help Samsung mobile phones fight price wars.

In addition, quality control is also a headache for many electronic product manufacturers. Even a company like Apple has quality control problems, let alone other companies?Although many electronic companies have quality control problems and know that this is a common problem in the industry, consumers will not care about these reasons.For consumers, it is enough for him to only ask that the product in my hand is good.This seemingly simple requirement is actually not so easy to achieve.

"Don't worry too much about the system. Since the announcement of the Phoenix open source operating system, program enthusiasts around the world have contributed a lot of useful codes and corresponding tool software to this system. The Kirin operating system based on the Phoenix operating system is more suitable for mobile devices. , because the Kylin system is more portable and has low energy consumption, and with the support of the Phoenix open source community, the popularity of the Kylin system will not be too slow." Lin Jinqi said.

Lin Jinqi's path is mainly based on Android and supplemented by Apple.Apple's closed code is bound to be gradually eliminated by the times, but Apple's closed code guarantees the security and stability of the system.On the contrary, although Android is open source and has gained great support in a short period of time because of this, with the development of Android, the Android camp began to go their own ways, and the fragmentation of the Android system has reached the point where programmers are angry.But the open source of the Phoenix system is different. The official will optimize and integrate the code provided by the programmers, and release a new version, instead of absorbing it all at once like Android, so as to ensure the stability of the system.Nor will the system itself be too fragmented due to excessive freedom of programming due to open source.

"As for the hardware, my idea is to invest in the construction of a chip factory and a special glass factory in China, while other hardware is looking for suitable manufacturers in China and neighboring countries through equity participation or holding shares."

In fact, the problem of chip production is not a big problem in China. Later generations took advantage of the open source of Android, and with the support of cheap chips from MediaTek and TSMC, the domestic smart phones turned around in one fell swoop, knocking Apple and Samsung from the top and second places in the domestic mobile phone market. His throne was pulled down.But whether it is MediaTek or TSMC, their chip technology is obtained through authorization, not developed by themselves.The reason why they were able to wage a price war was that, to put it bluntly, they took advantage of China's low human resources and obtained it by squeezing the labor force.Lin Jinqi does not seem to take this fast and stable "sweatshop" route. On the contrary, he is really interested in establishing a domestic chip manufacturer integrating R&D and production.After all, there are many chips ahead of this era in the system mall, the problem lies in the production process.For many core equipment for chip manufacturing, European and American countries have imposed an embargo on China.

Because he was still in the land of the US imperialists, Lin Jinqi still didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he finally said, "On the one hand, let's talk to the British ARM company to see if we can participate in their company and obtain their chip manufacturing authorization. In addition And don’t give up on ATI, they seem to be hooking up with AMD now, it would be great if we could buy ATI.”

Maybe Yetian's A card is always criticized by players as inferior to Nvidia's N card, but in terms of chip technology, the gap between the two is not very big.Especially after Yetian and Super Micro merged, A card not only fought back, but also snatched half of the country from N card.Lin Jinqi's current idea is to negotiate with ARM, and at the same time negotiate with AMD and ATI, which are about to merge. In short, they need to knock out the shareholding and licensing agreements from them, and then go to China to open a chip manufacturing company.Chips are an industry related to national security. I think my actions will get some attention.

After Lin Jinqi's decision, Regulus' team was divided into two parts.Some of them went to Huaxia to form Horizon Technology Development Co., Ltd., which only belongs to Horizon International Holdings. The company's headquarters is set in Shenzhen, and it temporarily has the same office location as Horizon Games.The purpose of Horizon Technology Development Co., Ltd. is to set up a chip research laboratory and a chip manufacturing plant in China, and start research and production after Regulus gets the authorization.At this time, the newly established Horizon Electronics is still a newborn, and it is naturally different from the two behemoths MediaTek and TSMC.Fortunately, Horizon Technology Development Company has visited the top executives of these two companies long ago, saying that the purpose of Horizon Electronics' existence is to serve its own group, and it has no intention to compete with the two companies in the field of commercial chips.The two companies were still very satisfied with Horizon's gesture of goodwill, and even sent flower baskets to congratulate Horizon Electronics Laboratory when it was established.

The other part responsible for the negotiation seems to be a bit unfavorable, because Lin Jinqi's first optimistic partner is ARM.After all, ARM is the main CPU and GPU supplier of Apple's iPhone and iPad, and Lin Jinqi is still very optimistic about this company's technology and quality control.It's a pity that at this time ARM is already on fire with Apple, and they don't like Regulus at all, especially when they hear that they are going to set up a factory in China, they invite Lin Jinqi's negotiating team away like a ghost.After listening to his team's complaints, Lin Jinqi was silent for a while and then asked them to negotiate with Super Micro and Yetian.

Compared with being full of anger at ARM, AMD and Yetian responded with great enthusiasm for the involvement of Horizon.Super Micro's acquisition of Yetian was not a hostile takeover, on the contrary, it was an acquisition by "a concubine who is in love with you".It has not been a day or two since Yetian wanted to overthrow Nvidia's dominance. Since the acquisition of Voodoo Graphics Company, Yetian wanted to surpass Nvidia in terms of technology and sales.However, Nvidia has the support of WinTel (an alliance between Microsoft and Intel), so Ye Tian was naturally beaten badly.

So Yetian also learned to behave. Since you are looking for cooperation with chip manufacturers, I also like to cooperate with chip manufacturers, so Yetian found Nvidia's ally Intel's arch-rival Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).And Super Micro also felt that after cooperating with Yetian, it means that it has the strength in the graphics card, so it has a greater say in the overall motherboard standard.So after chatting with each other for a while, the two passionate people couldn't wait to get married, but the problem was that the dowry was not cheap!Now I heard that a company is willing to take a stake in the new company and bear part of the merger costs, and the two companies are naturally interested.It doesn't matter once you investigate, ouch, he really is a rich father.So the merger of the two companies became the equity distribution of the three companies.

After some negotiations, Horizon International Holdings finally took a 15% stake in New Super Micro, becoming the second largest shareholder in the company.However, apart from retaining a seat on the board of directors and requesting to obtain the corresponding authorization documents, Horizon International will no longer take care of the affairs of AMD and ATI. Instead, it will immediately connect with the people of Horizon Electronics and start to arrange chip production in China.Since some key equipment is embargoed by European and American countries, the chips produced by Horizon Electronics are actually considered obsolete products.Fortunately, Lin Jinqi is only exercising the company's physical strength, and these chips can still be sold to third world countries.China's low labor costs and AMD's relatively cheap licensing fees allow these "backward" chips such as Horizon Electronics to be profitable in Africa and Southeast Asia.

"Sure enough, it's really uncomfortable when the key technology is manipulated by others." Lin Jinqi suddenly understood why Huawei was desperate to have its own core technology, and also understood why ZTE was sluggish when it was threatened by an American company. It's too uncomfortable to be in a situation where your fate is out of your control.

Lin Jinqi sneered when he saw the new chip technology he had exchanged from the system mall. This set of technology almost bypassed the patent barriers of existing chip technology in terms of materials and craftsmanship.This is known as the best product for the transition from traditional chips to quantum chips and biological chips. In the plane of black technology, this chip technology was also invaluable back then.However, Lin Jinqi, who is in the United States, dare not bring this technology back to domestic production. What if the U.S. government detains him?Don't think that the US government is a good citizen who "obeys the law". When the US government obeys the law, it is because the law is on its side.What if the law is not on his side?That is of course not abiding by the law.

Although Lin Jinqi did not achieve the goal of self-produced chips before the advent of SmartPad, he still relied on his position as a shareholder of AMD to obtain a great tilt in AMD's CPU and GPU production capacity, and thus had the SmartPad, an epoch-making product.While the SmartPad is no secret at Regulus Laboratories and Horizon Tech Development, it's not as if anyone outside has ever seen a sample of the SmartPad.Although industry giants such as Microsoft and Apple heard the news that Regulus Laboratories and Horizon Group are making handheld computers, but thinking of the embarrassing status of PDAs today, several big companies all laughed together and did not release it again. on heart.When the Horizon Technology Development Conference was officially held at the end of June, the media and companies in the industry took Lin Jinqi's invitation letter and thought about whether to go to the conference.

Later generations of Apple and Google have their own technology developer conferences, so Lin Jinqi also wanted to hold one.This kind of technology developer conference is undoubtedly a pilgrimage conference for fans and admirers of the two companies in later generations, and it is also the best platform for the two companies to promote themselves to the media and the public.But now only Apple has held a technology developer conference, so when he heard that the Horizon Group and Regulus Labs were going to hold a technology developer conference, Jobs, who was in high spirits, naturally scoffed.Precisely because he looked down on Lin Jinqi's "copycat" himself, he planned to tear up and throw away his invitation letter along with Fang Xiang's own.

But just when Jobs was about to start, he suddenly remembered that Lin Jinqi was also a little wonder in the Internet industry after all. The blog product he advocated to promote is now very popular all over the world, especially in North America and East Asia.As the first website that provides blogging services on the Internet, WordPress.com under Horizon has a very gratifying traffic volume, especially after the new domain name Blog.com was launched, the traffic volume has jumped to the top three in the world, second only to Google and MSN.Even the veteran websites Yahoo and AOL have surpassed it.

The most irritating thing is that in addition to blogs, Horizon now has two products, YouTube and Wikipedia, in the North American market, both of which are very popular.Thinking of this, Jobs felt a little jealous in his heart.For the sake of these three products, Jobs decided to arrange for his most trusted assistant to go to Tanfeng, and at the same time bring his congratulatory letter.

In fact, what Jobs didn't know was that Lin Jinqi, in addition to using WordPress to bring huge traffic to Blog.com, also specially made an optimized and lightweight customized version of WordPress.This version of WordPress allowed Lin Jinqi to develop a brand new content aggregation website, USPost.com. Blog.com embodies the grassroots culture, so the content is varied and all-encompassing.However, USPost is positioned by Lin Jinqi on news blogs and self-media, which has a certain threshold for the quality of articles.Lin Jinqi's USPost is actually the "Huffington Post" of later generations, a product that originated from a blog aggregation website and gradually became one of the mainstream media in the United States.

Because Lin Jinqi introduced the standards and management methods of "Huffington Post" to USPost (US Post) from the very beginning, USPost's click volume became the top ten in North America and the top 50 in the world within one quarter.It is a pity that many traditional media have not yet seen the lethality of USPost, and they all have a hint of scrutiny and ridicule for this online product similar to "tabloids".

At the Horizon Technologists Development Conference, the Horizon Group mainly officially released the Kirin operating system and SmartPad.Originally, Jobs was just planning to understand the situation, but when he saw the SmartPad photos sent back by his assistant, Jobs almost fainted.Why is this product so similar to your own iPad? The iPad is Apple's strategically confidential product. Why does Lin Jinqi have the product design?

But after reading the details, Jobs had to admit that the SmartPad was more advanced than the iPad.For example, the SmartPad really realized Jobs' idea of ​​only one button, because the SmartPad has only one "HOME" button all over the body, while the current prototype of the iPad still has to place sound control buttons, lock buttons and power buttons around the iPad.

After Jobs looked at the SmartPad brought back by his assistant, he stroked this product, which was hailed as "the world's first tablet computer", as if he was stroking his own child.No, for a paranoid and crazy genius product manager like Jobs, products are far more important than their own children and more worthy of their own cherishment.Jobs opened his eyes and began to try out the SmartPad.The more he used it, the more frightened Jobs felt.

At first glance, Jobs could not hesitate to accuse SmartPad of copying his iPad, even though his iPad still only has blueprints.But after using it, Jobs had to admit that the SmartPad had exceeded his vision for the iPad.For example, the design with only one "HOME" button on the whole body is the design style that Jobs most desires.But his engineer said it was impossible, so he had to compromise and add so many buttons.As a result, the horizon actually did it!Jobs had the urge to fire all his engineers. How many idiots are there in his company?

As a product that even Jobs conquered, SmartPad swept the entire United States with lightning speed and jingle bells.Rao Lin Jinqi has already prepared a lot of inventory at full capacity, but the spending power of Americans still scares Lin Jinqi and the people of Horizon Electronics. SmartPad is divided into two versions: pure WiFi and WiFi+3G, and each of the two versions has three storage capacity versions of 16G, 32G and 64G.In terms of pricing, Lin Jinqi directly copied the pricing of Apple iPad in later generations, from the cheapest $499 to the most expensive $829, a total of six prices.

In addition to the different network connection methods and storage capacity, the color of the shell is much richer than that of the iPad.In addition to the two classic Apple color schemes of starry sky black and metallic silver, Lin Jinqi also released four colors of vibrant orange, cute pink, sports blue and youthful green.Compared with the two mainstream color schemes of starry sky black and metallic silver, the remaining four color schemes are much less.It's not that Lin Jinqi is doing hunger marketing, but a matter of craftsmanship.

And when the Black Friday shopping carnival came, Horizon Electronics actually launched a limited color, which is the "Christmas Red" color for Christmas and New Year.However, what Horizon Electronics didn't expect was that although Christmas Red was selling well in the United States, the real hot item was Huaxia.No way, Chinese people love red too much.

Time goes back to August, and the sales of SmartPad are rising steadily, which makes both Regulus Labs and Horizon Electronics very happy.And what's interesting is that both American media and China Media regard SmartPad as a product of their own country.According to the American media, the SmartPad is a product designed by our country's Regulus Alpha Laboratory. At the same time, most of the chips are provided by Chinese companies, so it is naturally our American product.But Huaxia Media will also settle accounts. The manufacturer of SmartPad is Horizon Electronics. This is a company registered in Shenzhen, China. Isn't it a Chinese product?Fortunately, the media of the two countries did not really suffocate under the respective appeasement of Horizon Electronics and Regulus Laboratory, so the sales gradually subsided after their respective hypes.

Lin Jinqi was waiting for someone at the exit of the Newark International Airport. Fortunately, there were not too many people at the airport today, otherwise Lin Jinqi would be thinking about whether to print a piece of paper and hold it in his hand.According to Lin Jinqi's instructions, Liu Chang booked a ticket to Newark Airport.In addition to Liu Chang himself, Liu Chang's parents naturally followed their son to the United States to see.

With Lin Jinqi's help, Liu Chang successfully booked a good student dormitory.Unlike Lin Jinqi who booked an apartment, Liu Chang chose a dormitory with double rooms.The roommate who lives with Liu Chang is a student from Japan. He is in the third year of graduate school this year and will be graduating soon.Although the double room is a double room, the beds for the two people are still quite far apart, and each has its own wardrobe and desk. The bedroom does not look so crowded.

Unlike apartments, dormitories only have bedrooms and bathrooms, and the bathrooms only have very simple shower facilities.You can go to the public laundry room to do laundry, and you can eat and drink in the on-campus cafeteria or nearby restaurants.Lin Jinqi deliberately explained the advantages and disadvantages of the dormitory and the apartment, but Liu Chang chose the dormitory in the end.If you choose a dormitory, the scholarship provided by Princeton University can just cover the rent of the dormitory, and Liu Chang only needs to share the utility bills with his roommates.In Liu Chang's words, I'm already an adult, and I'm really embarrassed to ask my family to ask for so much money to study.

Liu Chang's plane was not delayed, which is really rare for airports in the New York metropolitan area.The speed of Liu Chang's family's customs clearance was not too slow. Soon Lin Jinqi saw Liu Chang pushing a luggage cart at the exit, with two adults standing behind him.Liu Chang's clothing is very American street hip-hop style, so there is no sense of disobedience when he appears at an American airport.After seeing Lin Jinqi, Liu Chang pushed the luggage cart and ran over to give Lin Jinqi a big hug, and then introduced his parents.

For Lin Jinqi, Liu's father and Liu's mother have only heard of the name but never met him.For their son to know Lin Jinqi, Liu's father and Liu's mother are very happy.This is not "kneeling and licking", but that connections are a scarce resource. If my son can get such connections by his own ability, aren't parents happy?

Lin Jinqi took Liu Chang and others to the parking lot, and after loading the luggage into the trunk of the car, Lin Jinqi took the three of Liu's family and set off for Princeton University.Unlike metropolitan New York, Princeton is a small American town.However, for traditional Chinese people, it is also unique to see the rural scenery with American characteristics in the United States.

Lin Jinqi took Liu Chang to his dormitory with ease, and then helped him settle down.Lin Jinqi also wanted to remind Liu Chang as he was reminded back then, to replace his Chinese passport with an American passport as soon as possible, and at the same time buy a scooter.In the United States, it is impossible to live without a car.Liu's father and Liu's mother also saw the "desolation" in Princeton, and agreed with Lin Jinqi's words.After learning the price of the American car, Liu's father immediately expressed that he would sponsor his son to buy a "good car".

In addition to settling Liu Chang, Lin Jinqi also took Liu's father and Liu mother to check in at a nearby hotel.Later, Lin Jinqi introduced some facilities of Princeton University to Liu Chang, as well as restaurants he thought were delicious.In the end, Lin Jinqi lent his car to Liu Chang temporarily.Lin Jinqi knew very well that Liu's father and Liu's mother must be planning to visit the United States when they came with them, so let Liu Chang accompany them.After lending the car to Liu Chang, Lin Jinqi rarely encountered a bus.

Public transportation in the United States is paid for by taxpayers. Fortunately, the city of Princeton is relatively wealthy, so there are still buses here, but there are not so many trips.As for long-distance transportation across cities, it is all in the charge of private companies, such as the famous American Greyhound Company.Greyhound's long-distance bus is actually quite comfortable, the seat can be put down and half reclined, and there is an LCD TV in front of the seat for watching TV or movies.The important thing is that the cost is not expensive, it is the first choice for the middle class and working class to go out.

While Liu Chang was traveling with his parents in the United States, Lin Jinqi was researching voice control technology in the company.The Siri of later generations is actually not artificial intelligence, at best it is a voice interactive control software with its own big data and cloud computing capabilities.Lin Jinqi's development direction is Siri, but he will endow Siri with a certain amount of artificial intelligence, so that it can appear not only as an assistant but also as a housekeeper.

When they saw Lin Jinqi's product design requirements, everyone in Alpha Lab refused.Fortunately, Alpha Labs has part of the technology of the Horizon Network, so Lin Jinqi took out one of the two major projects of the Horizon Network, the Prometheus project.The Prometheus project is the artificial intelligence project of the Horizon Network. Although the development progress is not as good as the Athena project of the supercomputer, it is definitely not a blank.

The "value network system" and "cellular intelligence system" proposed by Lin Jinqi made the scientists and engineers of Alpha Lab feel that the door to a new world was opened before them.The cellular intelligence system is a cloud-based artificial intelligence. Since the hardware conditions have not yet been met, this system is regarded as a backup plan.The value network system is listed as the priority development plan because of its easy realization.Fortunately, the intelligent electronic product management system named "Xiaozhi" by Lin Jinqi does not require too high artificial intelligence, so the research and development of "Xiaozhi" is considered to be the prototype of the application of the value network system.

"Boss, James Simmons, who claims to be the founder of Renaissance Technology, wants to see you outside. If your time is not convenient, I can ask him to make another appointment." Lin Jinqi's assistant Li Tingting said in the office.
