Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Professor Kong Zhemin seriously asked and asked, "Is it understandable as a popular science textbook for ordinary people?"

Yu Ping nodded: "Yes, I can understand that."

"We use the Internet to allow more people to see these contents and provide more efficient retrieval methods."

"At the same time, work hard to compile content: it is neither too esoteric, professional to be understood by ordinary people, nor too empty, vulgar, and nourishment."

"So I came to visit, I hope you can come out of the mountain."

"You are not only an expert in the industry, but also a professor loved by students, and have rich experience in writing textbooks. It is absolutely foolproof for you to check these contents."

Professor Kong Zhemin was a little surprised.

"Sounds like a good thing in the future."

"However, this seems to be a very large project."

"Just a variety of courses for Chinese majors, such as ancient literature, modern literature, foreign literature, etc., there are a large number of monographs, even if they are organized and simplified into encyclopedias, the content is beyond imagination."

"Not to mention, the extensible content of the Q & A section is unlimited, which is not something that can be done in ten or eight years."

"I usually take graduate students, I'm afraid I don't have that much time."

"If a large number of people work hard to do this thing, do you have to pay the remuneration and how to bear the cost ... Have you ever considered these issues?"

Yu Ping was already prepared and quickly explained: "Kong Lao, rest assured, we have already considered these issues."

"This project was decided by our President Pei of Tengda Group. It can mobilize all resources of the entire group company to escort."

"I also asked this question about the total workload of Pei. The answer from Pei is: The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, followed by the present. It is because this is a huge project, so it cannot be delayed. If you keep dragging on, you can't do anything. "

"Even if the content is incomplete at the beginning, but as long as the information inside is useful, it will attract users."

"With regard to manpower, you do n’t have to worry. You are equivalent to the general head of this professional field, only coordinating and supervising. We will also invite some young scholars, professors, and excellent graduate students to participate in these projects, each responsible for Different division of labor. "

"We will fully protect the intellectual property rights of the creators, at the same time form a legal team to combat the phenomenon of manuscript writing and plagiarism, and protect the rights of the creators."

"The creator gets a corresponding salary every month based on the star rating and workload."

"As for the method of distribution of remuneration, all members of the" useful APP "need to pay to browse, and they are charged according to the time of use and the number of views. For this income, we will draw 10% as the operating cost, 90% of which are based on The proportion is returned to the creator. "

"Of course, considering that there are not enough paid members in the previous period, we will provide a guaranteed remuneration for all creators. As long as the content approved in the month exceeds 10,000 words, you can get a subsidy of 2,000 yuan."

Professor Kong Zhemin froze for a moment: "Will this subsidy change with the number of words?"

Yu Ping nodded: "Yes."

"Because this is streamlined knowledge, if the pay is linked to the number of words, there may be a slight irrigation phenomenon."

"This subsidy is just a basic life guarantee, so that the creators will not be busy in the early days."

"Of course, this is not to encourage eating big pots of rice and hanging out."

"When there are enough members on the" Useful APP ", the income will definitely increase. We will determine the income weight of each department and each creator according to a more complex algorithm, including: creator star Level, the page views for writing or modifying content, the initial creation of new items, the number and proportion of content likes, etc., and calculate the revenue share of each section and each creator. "

"This piece of income is motivating."

Professor Kong Zhemin nodded slightly: "It's very reasonable."

Domestic professors should be regarded as one of the groups with the largest income variance, but more than 90% of professors do not have much extra income except salary and basic performance.

Handong University lecturers only earn less than 100,000 in annual salary, and associate professors only earn less than 130,000 in annual salary.

Especially some liberal arts majors who are dedicated to academics are quite poor.

Although the subsidy of 2,000 yuan is not much, it can be obtained as long as it produces 10,000 words for useful apps every month, which is quite attractive. After all, this is not as difficult as writing a thesis, mainly to sort out the existing knowledge.

Moreover, the content must be approved to be effective, there will be no unlimited irrigation, and there will be no "spending money to buy garbage".

Professor Kong Zhemin carefully considered: "Yu President, I can trust the Tengda Group, and the conditions in all aspects are very sincere."

"Moreover, this is a good thing that benefits us all. I have been educated for a lifetime, and if I can do some popular science on the Internet, I would be happy.

"But I want to ask ..."

"It should be difficult for your company to make money on this project? Is this a kind of public welfare project, or a new business model?"

Professor Kong's eyes were confused.

Indeed, all conditions are very good.

But the problem is that these conditions seem to be too good, good for content creators, good for users, but not good for the company alone.

Leaving 10% for operating expenses, is that not a big loss?

Even if it is to do public welfare, to enhance the visibility of the enterprise, then it must pay attention to an efficiency?

The current "useful APP" has a long cycle, a lot of money, and slow results. It won't have much influence until it actually produces results. What is the picture?

Even considering the best situation, after a few years or even a decade later, who can consider such a long-term thing?

So Professor Kong was confused and always felt that this was a bit strange.

Yu Ping was silent for a moment, and said: "Kong Lao, I also asked Mr. Pei about this question."

"Mr. Pei said that some things always have to be done by someone."

"He wants to create a pure land without waste for the Internet."

Professor Kong Zhemin was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yes, I agree."

"This matter ... It doesn't matter if money is not money, it doesn't matter whether it's successful or not."

"The meaning of this matter is very important."

Yu Ping'an couldn't help but shine: "Thank you so much, Kong Lao! With you in, many things will be easier to handle!"

Kong Zhemin smiled: "No need to thank me, I should thank you. There are really not many companies like Tengda that have a strong sense of social responsibility."

"Mr. Pei really is an unusual entrepreneur."

Yu Ping'an couldn't help but sigh, Sure enough, Mr. Pei's personal charm is really too powerful!

Can clearly feel that Mr. Pei's words are very touching to Mr. Kong.

A big guy like him has long been in a state of no competition with the world. He has achieved fame, teaching lessons and doing research every day. If it is something he is not interested in, please do not spend money.

But Mr. Pei's words, please move Kong Lao!

The addition of Professor Kong Zhemin is not only to increase the literary section of useful apps, but also to ensure the professionalism and quality of various content. More importantly, when the useful apps expand to other fields. , It is convenient to move more big cows.

When all kinds of big guys in different fields gather together, a cluster effect will form, more and more high-quality content, more and more excellent producers, and naturally more and more users.

Can be said to be a good start!

OTTO Technology.

The development team of AEEIS is under intense research and development.

The current artificial intelligence assistant technology is simply divided into two parts: front end and back end.

The front-end aspect is mainly speech recognition and speech synthesis technology, which converts the spoken language of the user into text, and then converts the returned text result into speech output.

And the background is to process the user's request with the program and return the most matching result.

In general, the current artificial intelligence assistants on mobile phones are mainly responsible for four dimensions: device control and system function call, third-party application support, dialogue and intelligence level, and skill learning ability.

The initial technology of artificial intelligence assistant is provided by Xunke Technology, and all manufacturers only update and optimize on this basis.

But whether the intelligent assistant is good or not depends on how well the manufacturers have optimized in these four dimensions.

Changyou decided that during this R & D cycle, all of his energies will be mainly focused on the two aspects of system function call and dialogue and intelligence level.

Although third-party application support and skill learning ability are also important, these two have more content to do, and only some users may have similar needs, so the priority is a bit behind.

The so-called system function call is that the user uses voice to control the mobile phone system function.

For example, if the user says "weather", the smart assistant will automatically display the weather page on the screen, and use the voice to read out information such as tomorrow's weather conditions and temperature changes.

Similarly, content such as calculators, calendars, memos, phone calls, and text messages can be controlled by smart assistants, which will bring certain convenience to users.

And the level of dialogue and intelligence is how the intelligent assistant reacts when the user asks some more personalized questions.

For example, the same question is "Who is your dad?" Some smart assistants will answer "My dad is a product manager in the development department", and some artificial intelligence assistants will answer "A group of smart people who dare to innovate ~ www.mtlnovel .com ~ This is strictly speaking, it doesn't have much practical significance, but it will make AEEIS more recognizable.

According to President Pei ’s request, AEEIS is a kind of artificial intelligence, so when all other voice assistants use anthropomorphic voices, AEEIS will use unemotional mechanical sounds.

Now that the "personal setting" already exists, it must stand still and cooperate well in other aspects.

Do a good job of these personalized customizations, and cooperate with the character and voice of AEEIS, so that the completion of this product is very high.

Before, the day after the name AEEIS was finalized, Director Zhu Xiaoce found Chang You and wanted to ask for an artificial intelligence name that could be used in movies and games.

The two departments had cooperated as early as "Better Tomorrow", and naturally this time I thought of going together. Chang You said to Zhu Xiaoce that he was doing AEEIS. Zhu Xiaoce readily agreed that he also got the name to the movie. And in the game.

When the time comes, I can still use the popularity of movies or games to promote AEEIS. Why not do it?

Changyou came out of the meeting room, he had just finished some key functions with several key members.

After drinking some tea, Chang You found that the group head privately built a few messages, and one of them was sent by Yu Ping'an.

This group is not for chatting and irrigation, but any movements of various departments will be briefly shared here.

Yu Ping'an: "'Useful APP' successfully invited Professor Kong Zhemin!"

Changyou put the tea cup down, could not help but a little curious.

Useful APP?

what is that?
