penguin headquarters,
Brother Xiao Ma sat in his seat, watching the computer netizens criticizing WeChat Technology and Zhang Long, with a heavy heart.
Since losing the public opinion battle when sanctioning 360 last time, Penguin has also focused on this during this period. He is still quite satisfied with the current results, even if they are dominated by Penguins.
"Inform Sina to lower the topic of Zhang Long." Xiao Ma looked at his secretary and said.
"Okay, Mr. Ma." The secretary nodded and started to do it.
"Wait a minute." Brother Xiao Ma stopped the secretary and continued: "Notify the project department that the mobile communication project will be officially approved and the mobile QQ will be redone."
"good."
The secretary left, and Brother Ma looked out the window.
Directly outside the window of the building, the sight was endless, and he actually felt disappointed that there was no opponent when he looked around.
However, the development of Penguin is far from limited to the present, and there are still many visions that have not been completed.
Because of the difference in philosophy from Zhang Long, parting ways has become inevitable, and there is no need to ask whether he wants to come back. Even if Penguin has developed to this point, Zhang Long has indeed put in some effort.
Some of Zhang Long's suggestions at that time he did, and some he felt were unnecessary. One instant messaging service was enough. If there was one more in the market, just get rid of it.
Now that public opinion is developing in a positive direction, it is estimated that the bad impression from 3q can be washed away.
While Xiao Ma was thinking, the director of the public relations department knocked on the door, "Mr. Ma."
"What's wrong?"
"360 and Alibaba Group issued a statement at the same time, condemning Penguin for confusing right and wrong, and officially announced that Alibaba Group will jointly participate in research and development projects, and may jointly file lawsuits against Penguin for market monopoly and vicious competition." Some people, the director of the public relations department, Said anxiously.
Brother Ma shook his head and said uncertainly: "What did you say?"
The director of the public relations department repeated it. This time, he did not hear what Brother Ma said. Instead, a porcelain cup was thrown to the ground, making a clear and harsh sound.
Broken all over the ground.
The director of the public relations department paused, and finally whispered: "In addition, Ma Yun also participated in the interview and stated that she is very optimistic about the mobile instant messaging project."
It was very quiet in the office. Little Magos no longer looked so handsome. Instead, his face turned red and he was breathing heavily.
....
Zhulang Technology,
Gu Yuanzhong smiled and said to Zhou Yan and Zhang Long: "How about it? I hope the statement will be issued in time."
Zhou Yan shrugged: "It's okay."
Zhang Long smiled and nodded: "Send a statement with Ali, I guess Pony's face won't look too good."
"Haha, I didn't expect you to control public opinion so well. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that you are a troll, but if you can't explain why, I guess Brother Ma will not only look ugly, he will probably go crazy." Gu Yuan Zhong said with a smile.
Zhang Long was a little confused: "Do we have a public relations team?"
"Zhou Wan is doing it." Zhou Yan said.
Zhang Long suddenly said, "Let me tell you, there seem to be fewer people scolding me online now, and there are still many people who criticize me back. Zhou Wan has done a good job."
Zhou Yan smiled and shook his head: "The public opinion on the Internet is not a problem. I am afraid that Penguin will actually end up developing products that compete with WeChat."
"This may happen. Let's be prepared. With 360 and Alibaba, we will have some confidence when we play against Penguin, so we won't lose our position." Zhang Long said.
"That's the truth." Gu Yuanzhong smiled and asked again: "Look at our 360 support, the shares released by Baidu and Penguin..."
"Don't even think about it."
Zhejiang University, Dream Language Studio
Yan Mo browsed the news on the Internet quietly, and when he saw something, he pursed his lips and smiled: "You can make Ali stand up for you, Xiao Zhou is very prosperous."
She looked at the heads of the studio and said softly: "Let's arrange it and let a few media people signed by the studio speak out for WeChat Technology."
"Okay, Sister Mo."
...
Su Xiaohan ate melon for a day and returned to the dormitory tiredly, without taking his eyes off the phone.
Originally, she wanted to see more news about Zhou Yan's company being criticized, and even wanted to see what kind of ugly expression Zhou Yan, a scumbag, looked like now, but when she saw the trend of hot searches changing, she also Some were stunned.
"What's going on? Why are there so few people scolding Zhou Yan's company?"
Su Xiaohan was a little surprised. She clicked on one of the hot topics and found that there was also a well-known media person who was mercilessly criticizing Penguin, and there were applause from everyone.
"Penguin is just a plagiarist, and he still dares to accuse others of plagiarism. Hahaha, it's really interesting."
"That's right. People's projects are a bit like Penguin. They just say they're plagiarized and don't look in the mirror to see what they're doing."
"Really look in the mirror!"
Su Xiaohan looked at the passionate abuse of Penguin, and it felt like she was back when Penguin sanctioned 360. Her fingers trembled unconsciously, and she felt an urge to speak.
Although I still feel a little gloating in my heart, when I comment on the topic, I can't help but criticize Penguin.
Spraying penguins has become a habit.
...
Zhou Yan returned to the office and looked at the hot scene on the Internet where you sang and I came on the stage, and he also had an unreal feeling.
He never thought that he would face Penguin when Penguin was at the peak of his development, and he would still be inferior to Penguin in terms of momentum.
The cost of giving Alibaba a platform is a bit high. With Alibaba’s trademark, there are resources that cannot be exchanged, but now it seems to be given to Alibaba. Alibaba only needs to give Zhulang a platform and attract attention to Zhulang’s e-commerce project. , you can get the trademark. It’s not that Zhou Yan didn’t have the idea of losing money.
But he also knows the importance of Ali's platform this time.
Without Alibaba, just relying on Zhulang Technology and 360 to jointly fight against Penguin, I am afraid it will be defeated directly.
You must know that Penguin in 2010 had already reached a market value of 100 billion. The capital and resources behind it were far inferior to Zhulang. If 360 had not been officially mediated, the fate of being sanctioned by Penguin would have been just like other companies that have become history. Just like a company, if you break your teeth and swallow them, what if the penguin copies you? If you can't compete, you will go bankrupt and close down. There is no other choice.
And now that Alibaba has joined, it can be said that Zhulang, 360 and Penguin have a competitive power, but it is only a competitive power. If Penguin really wants to conquer the instant messaging market on mobile phones, can it? Blocking is still unknown.
Zhou Yan felt a little more urgent in his heart. Since he decided to confront Penguin, he had to go all out, otherwise he would be swallowed up sooner or later. Penguin's divestment has sent a very clear signal that mediation and compromise will not be accepted. until the company goes bankrupt, so there is no need to continue investing.
This is the reality for small companies.
I don’t want to be suppressed by big companies and either go bankrupt or become a big company.
Zhou Yan's mind was heavy. He felt that he might not be able to do anything now. After all, facing Penguin, even if Penguin had no substantive sanctions, would be enough to make people nervous.
Zhou Yan stood up and came to the window sill, watching the students in the playground in the distance strolling on the track. At dusk, the sunset painted the sky not far away, giving this ivory tower a tranquility that was different from the hustle and bustle of the Internet.
Speaking of which, he is still a student.
Zhou Yan looked at the library not far away, where lights were already on. The library located on the lakeshore was always the most peaceful place at night when the lights were brightly lit. Zhou Yan still remembered that in his previous life, he often sat in the library. Study by yourself in the library, because it is one of the few places where the power is not cut off at eleven o'clock.
...
"Didi."
The card machine at the entrance of the library rang, and the security door opened inward.
Zhou Yan put his campus card in his pocket and walked in.
This was the first time he came to the library since his rebirth.
There are many students studying on the first floor, and the rows of tables on the left can be described as packed.
Compared to the strong wind outside, the library seemed peaceful, with bright lights, a spacious hall, and students on the stairs. As Zhou Yan strolled through it, he felt for the first time that he was one of them.
Coming to the library is not just for idleness, Zhou Yan also wants to look for literature related to artificial intelligence. At this time, the library's literature search system is much more convenient than using a computer to search by himself. There is even a place dedicated to searching literature. The longest time was when Zhou Yan came here to complete his thesis after graduation.
Zhou Yan didn't stay too much on the first floor. The electronic lending hall on the second floor was where he went. Taking the elevator to the second floor, Zhou Yan followed the corridor to the end and soon saw the lending hall with brighter lights.
There are fewer students than on the first floor, and the extra displays are rows of desktop computers connected to the main network.
"It's good to check the information."
Zhou Yan came to a computer and sat down. He logged into the library's intranet with his student ID and began to search for documents related to the large language model through his memories of his previous life.
After communicating with Zhang Long, Zhou Yan's thinking became clearer, and he also knew which direction to start with. Intelligent question and answer AI has been done more in foreign countries, but domestically, there is not much literature in this direction.
In fact, it is the same as what was said about working fluid and non-working fluid spacecraft in "Three-Body". In the final analysis, the development routes are different. Domestic countries pay more attention to model application, while foreign countries focus on scene application, so they have taken completely different paths. By the time large foreign language models mature, it will be too late to catch up.
Just like Zhang Long said, after investing energy and time, nothing is invincible. The emergence of future differences is nothing more than investing too little time. If we decide to develop scene AI now, Zhou Yan believes that he can definitely catch up first. Super foreign countries have developed strong artificial intelligence.
Zhou Yan's idea was very clear, and as expected, he quickly found foreign literature in related directions.
In essence, the reason why the large language model has developed rapidly is that it has laid a good foundation. Foreign countries are practicing in this direction, and it is difficult not to produce results.
Foreign language documents can be translated, but Zhou Yan is not used to reading them after translation. He prefers to browse them as they are.
Taking out a pen and paper from his computer bag, Zhou Yan quickly wrote down some of the key points he saw. He was even thinking that if he opened a mobile phone company in the future and used the strong artificial intelligence that was being developed now, what would happen? It won't be another picture.
But thinking about this, Zhou Yan also thought about the technological blockade against Huawei at that time, which resulted in the development of a 5G mobile phone that had to bypass Huawei's copyright, and created a name for recommended mobile phones and a 5G brand.
Of course, this is not something he needs to consider now. The confrontation with the Penguins would have been difficult to survive if Ali had not entered the game. What is the point of thinking about other things.
Zhou Yan was very efficient. After that, he briefly outlined the excerpts, which were roughly the steps to be taken next.
After yawning slightly, Zhou Yan suddenly saw a girl out of the corner of his eye and was stunned.
Wearing a black beret, her slightly curly hair tied behind her shoulders, her chiffon woolen coat and brown skirt gave her a more demure and elegant temperament. She had both the bookish temperament of Xiaoxuan and the coolness of poetry. .
Zhou Yan remembered who she was.
Xing Xuan's best friend is also a senior student majoring in international economics and trade who won first place in the entrepreneurship competition.
Ye Anmeng.
I didn't expect that she would study here.
Zhou Yan was still a little surprised.
There were two rows of seats apart, and there weren't many people in the room.
Zhou Yan thought for a while, packed his pen and paper into his computer bag, and strolled to the table next to Ye Anmeng.
】
"Senior, are you here too?" Zhou Yan greeted in a low voice.
Ye Anmeng raised her eyes and frowned when she saw a boy sitting next to her. However, when she heard Zhou Yan calling her senior, she looked over subconsciously.
"Who are you?" Ye Anmeng asked.
Zhou Yan looked at Ye Anmeng's eyes and felt that there was a very special sense of pure beauty, which was cold and a little charming, especially the long eyelashes, which made the eyes more beautiful. He smiled and whispered: "I'm from Zhulang Studio. You came to participate in the entrepreneurship competition. Do you have any impressions?"
"You are the judge." Ye Anmeng recalled.
Zhou Yan nodded, "It's me."
Ye Anmeng looked at Zhou Yan without blinking, as if she remembered something again. She said to Zhou Yan, "Do you know Xiaoxuan?"
"Yes, I know you."
"The quota for the Smart Cup...thank you." Ye Anmeng thanked him.
"The top three are all there." Zhou Yan said.
"Um."
Ye Anmeng pursed her lips: "Xiaoxuan came to me about the Innovation and Technology class and said that you were in charge, but I didn't have much time, so I pushed it aside. Thank you for giving me a place in the Innovation and Technology Cup."
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "You are Xiaoxuan's friend. We are just giving you a quota. Besides, senior sister, you have actual combat experience and do not need to participate in any training."
He paused and then said: "Actually, I hope that my senior sister can come to the innovation and technology class and tell us some experiences. We have never played a decent game, so we are very lacking in this aspect."
Ye Anmeng looked at Zhou Yan and finally nodded: "You can go and talk about it."
"That's great." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
Ye Anmeng hummed and started to do his own thing.
Seeing that she had no intention of chatting, Zhou Yan stopped disturbing her, but he noticed that Ye Anmeng was doing something.
It was similar to a wooden board, carved with something like a carving knife. This was the first time Zhou Yan had seen such a thing, and he didn't know what it was for a while.
