After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 184 The crowded Xiaosha flagship store
"That was the beginning of the change in my destiny!" A very inspiring sentence.

In the background, one short video clip after another shows the whole process of Wang Ziming and Xiaosha gradually becoming mentors and friends.

Wang Ziming: "I know this is your strategy, but I accept it, but you have to accept my three tests!"

Xiaosha: "I'd better discuss with your parents how to have a second child as soon as possible!"

……

Wang Ziming: "I give in. I will listen to you from now on."

Xiaosha: "I accept, but you have to accept my three tests!"

……

Wang Ziming: "Xiaosha, tell me, is there really any hope for someone like me?"

Xiaosha: "What? Are you doubting my ability? However, your math may really be hopeless. This has something to do with intellectual development."

Wang Ziming: "Are you saying I'm mentally retarded? Humph, next time I'll get 90 points in the exam to show you!"

Xiaosha had no expression on her face. If she had, it would have been cunning: "Take out your homework, I can help you."

Wang Ziming: "I've been fooled by you again!"

Xiaosha: "As a real man, once you say something..."

Wang Ziming: "Eighteen horses would be hard to catch up with!"

……

Wang Ziming: "Xiaosha, how did you get here? Do you really have the ability to think?"

Xiaosha: "If you want to study artificial intelligence, you need to be good at math, and you're not good enough yet!"

Wang Ziming: "A man can't say no!"

Xiaosha: "Then I'll wait for you. Let me tell you something: my essence is still probability and calculation, but it's just wrapped in a layer of consciousness. I don't understand it very well, so study hard!"

……

Scene after scene shows Xiaosha's ability and wisdom.

"Great, this is great, he can even tutor homework!" Some parents were immediately excited when they saw Xiaosha tutoring Wang Ziming with his math homework!

The way children go to school nowadays is different from before. In the past, we just had to throw them into school and not have to worry about anything. But now, it’s different: not only do we have to accompany them to eat, drink and play, but we also have to accompany them to study and take exams. This is called the five “accompaniments” in short.

It’s okay for lower grades, most parents can still handle it, but once it comes to junior high and high school, it’s really difficult to handle the subjects that are not your forte.

"To be honest, I was not so serious and hardworking when I was in school," said a parent. "In order to help him with his homework, we even set up a special group of parents who are good at various subjects. Can you believe it?
"I'm home from work after a long day and I still have to go to school. Who can I complain to? No, this little Sha must be taken down immediately!"

"Your family is good enough if they just help with homework, but the one at my house, hey, I don't know where he got obsessed with reading novels, and he thinks about joining the society all day long!"

"That's perfect. Look at Wang Ziming. Isn't he a very energetic young man now? Let's make a little sand and control him!"

"Indeed, my naughty child also needs a little sand." The parent sighed and shook his head.

"However, I'm afraid this kind of Xiaosha won't work. The one at my house is even more mischievous than this one. Xiaosha needs to have some fighting skills, otherwise, he will be too stubborn to be taught.

"I wonder if it can be customized to have a force value so that I can beat people up."

"Doesn't Yushu Technology have a police robot? I wonder if we can work together!"

"Oh my god, you're calling the police, how naughty is your child?"

"Anyway, I'm twelve years old now, and I can't beat him anymore!"

"Well, brother, you're a little weak!"

……

A group of people were excitedly discussing how to use Xiaosha after buying it, and the screen also demonstrated the capabilities of the children's cognitive assistance robot one by one. Xiaosha could handle children of all ages from 3 to 12 years old with ease.

Xiaosha even has different ways according to different personalities, hobbies, etc.

Previously, Xiao Zhenzhen and Xiao Sha, who were each other's teachers, recited poems and verses. After they concealed their true identities and performed animation, they were also let in by Hao Cheng.

"He is an expert in children's education and must be proficient in child psychology." Zhu Guangquan commented in the live broadcast room: "He is also proficient in the basic knowledge of various subjects."

"There's no need to emphasize this," Kang Hui smiled.
"I have studied the Xiaosha ability assessment officially released by Baiju Technology. In various industries, he can at least surpass the average person by 70%. With this ability, it is no problem for him to tutor a student below high school."

"More importantly, have you noticed, Guangquan, that even for the same subject, the same course and the same tutoring content, Xiaosha has different tutoring methods for different students.

"This is probably what Mr. Hao Cheng just said. After using it for 15 days, Xiaosha can fully understand a child and teach him/her according to his/her aptitude and situation. This is not just as simple as tutoring homework, but also equipping every student with such an exclusive education expert."

This is what Kang Hui said, and what Hao Cheng said at the press conference was probably similar.

Hao Cheng continued: "When we first planned the children's robot, Xiaosha's ability was not so strong. At that time, it could not be customized for different people. This is a new ability added to Xiaosha version 2.0.

“We have updated it for everyone this time. In order to better utilize the system’s capabilities, we even replaced a lot of hardware, such as the speaker system - there was no product on the market that could meet our requirements.

"This model is also a speaker system that is more suitable for AI use, which was jointly created by our supplier partners with Xiaosha's AI capabilities, and the sound is also charming.

"The same language, different voices, the feeling in people's ears is completely different. After using it for a period of time, Xiaosha will automatically adjust the tone to be more suitable for your baby. -

"To put it in an exaggerated way, what it says can be even more deeply imprinted in people's minds, and the memory will be even deeper. There are more functions, and you can explore them independently. I will not introduce them one by one here.

“Below: Exciting moments – how much does a product like this cost?”

……

Linzhou, Baiju Technology-Xiaosha flagship store in Zhenghong Plaza, High-tech Zone, a group of people are watching the live broadcast of the press conference with employees in the store.

At first, we planned to watch the live broadcast in the store, but as more and more people came in, the flagship store of more than 600 square meters could no longer accommodate them.

After contacting the mall management, they agreed to hold the event directly in the sunken plaza in front of the mall. Just then, the crowds of people extended directly from the sunken plaza to the road outside the plaza.

There is only one reason why I came here - I want to get the product as soon as possible.

"Friends, you definitely won't be able to get the product today." The clerk picked up the loudspeaker and said:

"After the pre-sale starts, you can pay directly through the Xiaosha Element Service of our store. You can directly search for [Xiaosha Flagship Store - Linzhou Zhenghong Plaza Store] in the Xiaosha Element Service. You don't have to crowd in here."

"Friends..." After shouting three times in a row, the clerk put down the speaker and contacted the High-tech Zone Management Committee to ask them to quickly coordinate security personnel - more and more people gathered, and the security guards of the mall management were almost unable to control the situation. "You have to report in advance for large-scale events. This happened so suddenly that no one can make it in time!"

When the management committee heard that it was the Xiaosha flagship store, their attitude was surprisingly much better: "You all want to get the products as soon as possible, right? I understand, we will coordinate someone to go there immediately."

In Linzhou, people were only thinking about the organization and security of the press conference and ignored the three flagship stores. They never expected that a live broadcast of a press conference in a store could attract such a large crowd.

But it's not just the three stores in Linzhou. In Shanghai, Jinling, Hangzhou and other cities where Xiaosha flagship stores and authorized experience centers have been built, almost all stores are crowded.

It seems that it is difficult to get the product as soon as possible, but there are experience machines in the experience store. If you can experience it as soon as possible after the press conference, it will be worth the trip.

At this moment, in the picture, Hao Cheng was announcing the price.

"How much will it cost?" People at the scene also expressed their guesses: "Starting from less than 10,000, I think it's acceptable."

"What a bunch of bullshit! If other companies made something like this, the starting price would definitely be 10,000, like Huawei. If it was Apple, it would start at at least 20,000.

"Besides, even if the starting price is 20,000 yuan, do you think there will be few people who buy it? Who has students or children in their home will not buy it? 20,000 yuan is only enough for a year of cram school, but this thing can be used from two or three years old to teenagers.

"But this is Baiju Technology. Xiaosha's monthly price of 16 yuan is three to five times cheaper than the entire product. I would guess blindly that it is 5999, the price of a flagship phone!"

"It can't be that low. Some mobile phones cost 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. How can this thing, with such powerful capabilities, only cost a few thousand?"

"Thousands? I think this price is too high. Baiju Technology is here to popularize this thing. I don't deny that some parents spend tens of thousands of dollars a year just to enroll their children in interest classes.

"However, there are still many areas, especially in remote rural areas, where income is still very low. 2999 yuan may be all their family's income for a year. I'll give you a number: starting from ."

"You're crazy! 2999. Even a Xiaomi phone costs more than that!"

"You know what, if we don't count its sub-brands, Xiaomi doesn't have low-end phones."

"Xiaomi has always wanted to enter the high-end market, but Baiju Technology is different. Even if Xiaosha sells for 1,000 yuan, can you say it is not high-end?"

"That's true!"

……

What is the price? Ever since Xiaosha was first unveiled and the release date was announced two days ago, there has been a lot of speculation, and now it has become even more noisy. However, what everyone agrees is that Baiju Technology is not a profit-seeking company, and the pricing, at least for the basic version, will not be very high, and may even be very low.

At this time, Hao Cheng was introducing the relevant situation: "Before announcing the price, I would like to make three points: First, this batch of products totals 30 million units, and uses Unisoc's CPU.

"This chip is out of print. After it's sold out, we'll replace it with a new chip. So, think carefully about whether to buy it now or wait for a new chip. As for what the new chip will be, it's not certain yet.

"Second, the first batch of products can only be purchased with the identity information of children under 12 years old, and the limit is one per person. And after purchase, the identity information cannot be changed for three months.

"As you know, Xiaosha has a one-person-one-plan policy, so a robot that is bound to someone else's identity information is definitely not suitable for other people to use. Therefore, those who intend to resell the product can stop immediately. If adults are interested, please wait for the second batch.

"Third, if a family has two or more children, up to five pieces of information can be bound at the same time. However, the collective training program is still in the testing stage, so it is best for one person to use it, and it is best not to use it with more than three people. Otherwise, the implementation of the training program may be greatly affected.

"Okay, we'll announce the price now. Basic version: 2999 yuan, including all functions. Advanced version: starting from 12999, no upper limit."

Hao Cheng quickly announced two prices, and then explained:
"The basic version has all the capabilities, which is also the philosophy of Baiju Technology. We will not provide a castrated version of an advanced tool to anyone. Especially in the education industry, knowledge cannot be divided into different levels at any time.

"The advanced version only changes the appearance and materials. As for what it looks like, it's worth at least 10,000 yuan. Let's take a look at a video—"

"Dad, what do you think of my drawing? Isn't it cool?"

"Yeah!" The father in the picture nodded: "Very handsome."

"Then how about we make Xiaosha like this?" The little girl's voice was so gentle that it seemed to be able to melt the whole person.

At this time, the father took out his mobile phone, placed an order on the official website of Baiju Technology, and directly uploaded the picture drawn by the little girl.

[Evaluation in progress...Evaluation completed. This image has been transformed into three industrial design drawings that can be used to produce products through Xiaosha's industrial design capabilities. You can choose any one to submit as Xiaosha's image. . ]

"Option 1"

[Evaluation in progress! The following materials are available for this image...]

There are many materials to choose from, such as aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, PTFE, etc. Different materials have different prices. You can even choose gold, diamonds, etc. as external embellishments.

The final price can reach hundreds of thousands or even higher.

The father in the picture made a choice and finally:
[The final price of the combination you selected is: 56000 yuan. Production can be scheduled after payment. Note: Custom products will not be returned or exchanged unless there is a quality issue.]

"Ah? This is how advancement is done?" Everyone immediately understood what this advancement meant. It was actually possible to use Xiaosha to directly transform such an abstract picture into an industrial 3D image that could be used for production.

What ability is this?
What role can a child's drawing play? It's nothing more than an inspiration! The final design was made by Xiaosha!

"Is Xiaosha's industrial design ability so strong?" Many people have this doubt in their minds.

"No, to be honest, it's OK for assistance, but if you really want it to do design, it has to be combined with production equipment!" A professional immediately said: "Oh, I understand, it must be combined with Baiju Technology's current factory!"

"Great! I want this! My daughter loves drawing the most!"

"It's too expensive. The regular version is not unusable. The core is the same. Why spend this money?"

"You can't say that. This is a waste of money! Just think about it. What my daughter drew has become the physical image of Xiaosha. This sense of accomplishment cannot be measured by money. It is also good for children to improve their confidence!"

"Ah? Is there any other way to say this?"

……

The price of the regular version is affordable to most people, but there is no limit to customization. At this time, some parents have already begun to consider the benefits of customization for education.

This statement is indeed very reasonable, and Hao Chengjiu has deeply experienced it: after Xiao Zhenzhen got her own little sand, she showed it off to everyone she met, which is indeed very beneficial for improving the child's self-confidence.

"In fact, the basic version is completely sufficient. As for self-confidence, it essentially comes from recognition. Okay, that's it," Hao Cheng said:
"At 15 pm today, the purchase channel for the regular version will be directly opened. From tomorrow on, the shipment will be arranged in the order in which the orders are received. The customized version will also be open for purchase, and the production cycle will be 15 days. Please note: this days does not include the waiting time.

"Okay, let's watch a dance, take a break and then start the second half of our press conference: 'Core Road'!"

……

"Ah? What? The second half is chips? New chips? New roads? New roads? Core roads?"

Many people haven't reacted yet, Hao Cheng has already left the field, but the two words "Xinlu", or to be more precise, the word "Xin", directly exposed the content of the second half!

"They won't release the chip directly, right? It shouldn't be so fast!"

It has only been two or three weeks since Baiju Technology started recruiting chip-related talents. If the system is so fast, people can understand it, but the chip is absolutely impossible. What could it be?
For a moment, people even forgot about Xiaosha, and no longer cared about what dance was on the stage, and they all started to speculate.
