My Return to Life

Such kind of polite remarks on the scene, everyone will not take it to heart.

The reason why Lei Jun came to Shencheng a day earlier, he also specially found some excuses.

Naturally, it is not just to talk about the strategic integration with Dangkang.

Even if the strategic integration of Qingchao and Dangkang game is only a small step:

Dangkang Mobile Games platform announced that it supports third-party account login, and only supports light chat.

For the moment, it's not very appropriate to take a step forward.

As an extremely good angel investor, Lei Jun actually understands investment strategies better than Fang Nian.

Fang Nian’s openness is actually just a test. Lei Jun responded in a polite manner, indicating that Lei Jun did not intend to directly mention the real business.

Upon seeing this, Fang Nian was not in a hurry, smiling with Lei Jun.

"..."

Shencheng in mid-April was still a bit cold.

Tea is brewed with hot water, the tea smoke is swirling, the warm tea is consumed, and the chill is diffused.

Not less leisurely than Fang Nian was alone in a daze.

During the small chat, Lei Jun also took the initiative to ask about some of the frontier situation, instead of paying special attention to the Nuwa laboratory.

"Two days ago, I accidentally heard that President Guan was visiting Peking University and Tsinghua University. I heard that it was for the Frontier Institute. Since the second half of last year, I haven't heard much about the Frontier Institute. How is the development?"

Hearing this, Fang Nian shrugged and said bitterly: "The platform of the Frontier Courtyard is not easy to match, and Frontier is not very rich. The reality is far more difficult than planned."

"Especially I am somewhat greedy in this regard."

Hearing what Fang Nian said, Lei Jun frowned slightly: "So the frontier is the smoothest in Xijiao University and the Frontier Institute of the University of Science and Technology of China?"

"It can't be said completely, but this single-university model will obviously reduce a lot of trouble." Fang Nian said frankly.

"It's not an urgent matter anyway, just take it slow."

Looking at Fang Nian, who looked lazy, Lei Jun’s mouth dimpled slightly: “At about this time last year, President Fang and I went to Yangcheng from Zhuhai by car and talked about many topics, and President Fang mentioned the word'ideal home';

I didn’t understand it very well at the beginning, but now I understand a little bit;

Fang always separates career and business into two parts. In the frontier system, except for frontier angels, everything else to do is career. "

Fang Nian smiled: "I'm just young and frivolous. I don't like to do the same thing twice. It is enough for me to do it once in Dangkang mode."

"Lei always thinks me too high, there is indeed a certain ideal part, but at the beginning, he actually had confidence in the Dangkang model, thinking about how to have money, only 18 years old, I am not tossing about being so young;

After I was really too rich, I wanted to explore a more money-making model. "

"No matter how big the Dangkang model is, the net interest rate will be limited. It is estimated that 40% will end;

The frontier is different, the net interest rate may be very high;

For example, in some investment cases of Frontier Angels, I do not understand the profit margin in calculations. "

After listening to Fang Nian's words, Lei Jun's thoughts surged, and he could understand Fang Nian's change of mentality.

Two sentences were attached to the mouth: "It turns out to be like this..."

"..."

Maybe Fang Nian really wanted to toss about something at the beginning.

A Dangkang cannot be an absolute masterpiece.

Later, the reality was reflected in the ideal, the mentality began to change, and the pursuit direction became diversified.

The thoughts in Lei Jun's mind are almost Fang Nian's mental journey.

After all, the inability of ideals to land is actually a fantasy.

Besides doing basic science, although the initial investment is huge, the later stage benefits are also huge.

Regardless of whether Fang Nian actively interferes, as long as he follows the big plan, money will naturally snowball.

Because Fang Nian was the first to start with his ideals, his requirements were relatively demanding, and the ten years of experience he had gained in the previous years were almost at the top.

Once this thing is really ‘frontier’ in a certain field, it is a quasi-monopoly.

At the end Lei Jun said two more gossips: "What's the situation in Luzhou?"

"Just moved into the newly built research center, so the original plan was postponed." Fang Nian didn't tell the truth this time, and said nonsense. "The main thing is to go to the latest process. The cost scares me to death. 7000 films are taped out once. Ten thousand yuan."

Although Lei Jun knows about the massive investment of frontier Luzhou on the chip, he was still shocked when he heard this number: "No wonder Fang always said that the cost of tape-out is a bit scary. This time, 100 million will be gone."

Fang Nianping said peacefully: "That's why I don't recommend Xiaomi to take this risk. The cutting-edge is a pure recruit in the chip design industry. Maybe it's really going to be a bit of a feather after three or five tapeouts."

"..."

Lei Jun just smiled, "Anyway, I have to wait for tomorrow's meeting before discussing and deciding this kind of thing."

"..."

Fang Nian echoed with a smile.

After drinking tea for half an afternoon, Lei Jun finally didn't mention anything serious, and Fang Nian was still a little puzzled.

Of course, Fang Nian would not take the initiative to ask.

In commercial communication, information is also a very important ‘bargaining chip’.

Fang Nian guessed that Lei Jun was more likely to come for the capital market.

Although the strategic integration of Qingchao and Dangkang can be slowed down, this does not mean that Lei Jun himself has to slow down.

Even Shunwei Capital, which focuses on the domestic industrial chain, raised a fund and invested in an impact fund. It makes no sense that Lei Jun, an angel investor, does nothing.

It was Fang Nian's nonsense that Luzhou had postponed the tape-out plan. In fact, as early as late Monday night, the team heading to Bay Bay had already returned to Luzhou.

Prepared, full-mask tape-outs are not inherently time-consuming.

Coordination is completed long ago, and the process can begin when it arrives.

With TSMC's extensive experience, this is all considered slow.

It is expected that the complete test result will come out on Wednesday next Tuesday.

…………

…………

Friday, 15th, ten o'clock in the morning.

Fang Nian rushed to the Nuwa Laboratory in Zhangjiang High-tech Park.

In addition, Yu Dadong, Chen Mingyong, Shen Wei, Huang Xiujie, and Lei Jun all rushed past.

This meeting of Nuwa Alliance members was held in Nuwa Lab.

In fact, because Lu Weiyu, the person in charge of the docking, was still in Chang'an, Shi Xinrong was responsible for the coordination.

Anyway, it's not Fang Nian's turn to stare at the meeting process.

After a little greeting, I entered the topic.

Sitting in the middle of the long conference table, Fang Nian made a gesture: "It's also a coincidence. The research and development progress of the laboratory in the past two days is not bad, and the unstable version of version 3.0 has been made."

"It happens that I have experienced it in advance, so I will give you a brief demonstration of the key functions. It is not that professional, forgive me."

"..."

There was a kind smile in the conference room.

Of course you don’t mind.

Fang Nian briefly demonstrated some of the upgraded features of version 3.0: "KuaFu browser is officially embedded in version 3.0, in principle, it replaces the original UC browser;

Some more experiential functions have been added, such as bookmarks, multi-tab switching, etc..."

"Of course, the more important thing is that the KuaFu browser supports HTML5, and it also supports calling flash videos with video tags through HTML5. It also supports flash for the time being, but it will completely give up supporting flash in future versions."

While talking, Fang Nian opened a video in the browser and played it.

The video playback is displayed simultaneously on the projection.

Fang Nian successively demonstrated some major changes in the following characteristics.

It mainly includes some changes in operational fluency and operational experience.

such as:

Optimization of notification center;

The functional optimization of the camera's software is aimed at mainstream camera modules;

Email optimization;

Optimization of SMS and phone calls;

and many more……

It also supports data transmission via WiFi and computer, directly getting rid of the shackles of the cable, of course this is based on the local area network;

Fang Nian also mentioned that the next version will make more in-depth use of cloud service features to optimize this function.

In the end, Fang Nian concluded: “As I said earlier, the next version will make use of the features of cloud services, etc.;

It’s what I said before. From this version onwards, the Nuwa Lab’s R&D work on the Nuwa system has entered the second stage..."

"That is, the optimization of the user experience level."

After a while, Fang Nian put down his mobile phone and talked eloquently: "Version 3.0 is a centralized upgrade of various functions and features, and it is also a relatively complete removal of third parties;

Everyone has seen it, and even some relatively novel optimizations and upgrades have been made on the level of gesture operation;

At the bottom level, except for some general protocols that cannot be bypassed, the degree of autonomy of 3.0 is approaching 100%. "

After Fang Nian's voice fell, the conference room fell into silence for a while.

The faces of everyone were different, but they were basically mixed with a certain color of shock.

From the establishment of the Nuwa Lab to the launch of this almost 100% autonomous 3.0 version, it took only 8 months to make a full deal.

What kind of progress is this?

Do you want to be so awesome.

then……

Yu Dadong took the lead in asking a question: "President Fang, how much has the Nuwa laboratory invested in R&D so far in the Nuwa system?"

"According to incomplete statistics, about 400 million." Fang Nian replied with a smile.

If the statistics are completely...

The planned investment has exceeded 1 billion, but several hundreds of millions of dollars are still in the laboratory account, such as part of the subsidy for the nuclear high-tech project.

Because the thing in the secret laboratory is also called the Nuwa system.

In addition, some inputs that cannot be calculated in detail are in academic research projects in universities.

In other words, the excellence of the Nüwa system is not the credit of the Nüwa laboratory, but the collective effort of the entire software development industry in Chinese universities.

It's just that this power has become quite concentrated because of the Nuwa laboratory.

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Fang Nian said casually, "In fact, these are the regular optimization plans of version 3.0. Just like the biggest change in version 2.0 is the efficient and excellent cloud service, version 3.0 also has a special feature... …"

Having said this, Fang Nian paused briefly, cleared his throat, and yelled in standard Mandarin: "Xiaowa Xiaowa."

"Hey, I'm here." A naughty, sweet and lovely female voice suddenly sounded.

The eyes of everyone in the conference room instantly fixed on the test engineering machine on the table in front of Fang Nian.

Fang Nian continued: "Call Lei Jun for me."

After a second or two, the female voice rang: "Okay."

Then the dial page was displayed on the projection, and then Lei Jun's cell phone rang.

The classic ringtones of Xiaomi phones sounded so harsh to everyone in the meeting room at this time.

Everyone, including Lei Jun and Huang Xiujie, who knew what Nuwa Lab would do for a long time, their thoughts were:

Like a horse dreaming.

"Of course, this feature is not yet mature, such as now..."

Fang Nian's voice sounded again, awakening everyone.

"what?"

"Oh……"

"right."

"..."

Including Lei Jun, they just subconsciously burst out of a few tone particles.

Fang Nian smiled slightly, and said: "Xiaowa Xiaowa..."

"Look, at this moment, it might even pop up and interrupt the call."

"Or for example, I really want to hang up this call, but I can't do it..."

Next, Fang Nian briefly demonstrated other functions of the voice assistant.

"Open light chat..."

"What kind of person is Lei Jun..."

"I want to eat Cantonese food at noon..."

"..."

In the whole process, rollover incidents occurred from time to time.

The comprehension ability of the voice assistant has not reached the excellent level of dialogue with human beings.

Of course, the invocation of embedded function modules has basically stabilized.

In addition, it must be said that the ability to recognize Mandarin is not very strong, so Fang Nian tried a question with a little Xiangchu accent.

Everyone in the conference room can understand, but Xiaowa, who is artificially retarded, obviously does not understand.

Fang Nian finished debugging and said calmly: "This is a special major update of Nuwa 3.0. The scientific name is artificial intelligence-level voice assistant. I call it artificial intelligence."

"According to the report of the laboratory, it is a kind of voice assistant support software based on big data technology and realized by taming algorithm. It can realize human-computer interaction through voice and understand the user's intention. It has been involved in the domestic general geographic location-based support software. The database provides services, anyway..."

Having said that, Fang Nian paused slightly, jokingly: "If you want to listen, I can still play for five minutes."

Everyone smiled subconsciously.

Then he gradually recovered from the shock.

They inadvertently glanced at the screen on the projector. According to the network school time, the mobile phone showed that it was 10:39 am on April 15, 2011.

Did not travel to the future all at once.

Although there are a variety of science fiction films that have achieved more powerful functions than this low-level artificial mental retardation, at the moment, even Apple has not integrated Siri well, Nuwa 3.0 is second to none.

The atmosphere in the conference room is strange.

After a while, Huang Xiujie took the lead: "Mr Fang, I have a question. What did you mean when you said that you want to release the stable version of 3.0 separately?"

"Yes...Does Frontier want to make its own mobile phones?" Yu Dadong took the conversation.

Facing everyone's gaze, Fang Nian smiled and shook his head: "No, no, Frontier has no intention of making their own mobile phones."

Then he said relaxedly: "I think every boss may have misunderstood. The Nuwa Lab just wants to follow the example of WWDC. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is Apple’s global developer conference. From this year, it will organize the Nuwa Lab based on the Nuwa Lab. Developer conference, such as nwKF...

Anyway, the name doesn't matter, that's what it means. "

"The plan is to convene in late May every year to release the latest software and technology of the Nuwa Lab on the Nuwa system. Now it happens to have a gimmick for the mentally handicapped, and it's okay when it is a good start."

After listening to Fang Nian's words, everyone in the audience was relieved.

"President Fang, you didn't make it clear early, you just decide on this matter." Yu Dadong shook his hand, and said with a nonchalant expression.

Huang Xiujie and others also responded.

Instead, he finally came to Lei Jun, and he asked a question in a serious manner.

"President Fang, Nvwa 3.0 will be released separately at the Nvwa Lab's Developer Conference. Will it follow the example of Apple and will update downloads before and after the launch of new products?"

This is a tacit understanding.

Hearing this, Fang Nian's face was as usual, and he said calmly: "Of course not. The Nuwa Lab still only opens the stable version to the inside and releases it to your vendors."

"but……"

"It is necessary to explain that in this way, Nuwa Lab will inevitably put important functions on the annual developer conference, and will take away your gimmicks or selling points in software in advance."

"..."
