Technology dominance starts with learning machines

Chapter 63: If there is one, there will be two

It’s popular, completely popular!
Li Pingan never imagined that Zhilifang Technology would become almost known to the public in such an unexpected way.

It’s not because of any excellent product of the company.

It was entirely because of the "venomous tongue" verbal battle of the company's artificial intelligence Xiaofang that it unexpectedly became popular on the Internet.

With the wave of popularity brought by Xiao Fang.

On that day, Pokemon attracted a large number of new registered users.

In just one day, nearly 400 million in cash flow poured into Zhilifang Technology's account like a tide, a staggering amount.

Wu Qian, the finance manager, originally had a relatively easy and comfortable job in the company.

I was busy and sweaty today.

Wu Qian secretly thanked her luck that electronic invoices have become widely used.

Otherwise, the workload of issuing invoices for the 10,000 smart guide dogs sold today alone would probably make her feel dizzy and collapse.

Even so, Wu Qian is still very busy.

Wu Qian, feeling somewhat overwhelmed, came to the door of her boss' office and knocked gently.

"Come in~" Li Ping'an's voice came from inside the room.

Wu Qian pushed the door open and saw the boss and the general manager lying leisurely in their office chairs with bright smiles on their faces, seemingly chatting about something interesting.

Even Old Wu, who usually pays the most attention to health preservation, is holding a bottle of Fat House Happy Water in his hand like the boss.

Looking at the boss, Wu Qian said with resentment:

"Boss, the company must hire a few more financial staff.

According to the company's current development trend, if I don't hire more people, the workload will cost me my life."

Li Pingan drank a sip of happy water, still smiling, and said easily:

“If you are short of people, you can directly contact HR for coordination, or if you have suitable candidates, you can directly recruit them.

Hearing her boss's words, Wu Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She was previously worried that her boss would refuse to hire in order to save costs.

Now it seems that I am worrying too much.

Yes, the boss was born in the 00s.

Wu Qian couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it's true that starting a business with the post-00s is different, without the old-fashioned red tape and many constraints, and the style of doing things is more decisive and flexible.

However, if the boss is backstabbed one day, the company will probably have a lot more restrictions.

I hope that day will come later...

By the evening, netizens had probably witnessed Xiao Fang's strength and "unsportsmanlike" behavior.

Gradually, no one wanted to pay attention to this "street urchin".

After all, knowing that the other party is an artificial intelligence, but still foolishly running to argue with it, isn't this obviously asking for trouble?
This guy keeps calling himself a dog, how can I refute him?
As the saying goes, if a dog bites you, will you bite it back?
If you really "bite" back, you are just telling others that you are also a dog.

When I came out of the office, most of the employees in the company had already left work. Only the lights in Lao Wu's office and the work area of Wu Qian, the financial officer, were still on.

Seeing that Wu Qian was still frowning and concentrating on her work, Li Ping'an subconsciously slowed down his pace, slightly bent his body, and tiptoed towards the door, praying silently in his heart that he would not be discovered, for fear of meeting those resentful eyes.

however……

Things are unpredictable, and in the next second, Old Wu happened to push open the office door.

"Huh... ? Boss, you haven't left yet?" Old Wu's voice was particularly loud in the silent company.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ping'an froze in place in embarrassment, thinking to himself that something was wrong.

He slowly turned around and, as expected, Wu Qian was looking at him with resentment.

"Cough cough cough~~~"

Old Wu was also keenly aware of the awkward atmosphere, and he quickly coughed a few times to break the deadlock and said directly:
"Boss, it's a good thing you didn't leave. Warwick has replied to me. Can we talk while we walk?"

Hearing this, Li Pingan subconsciously straightened his collar, which was not wrinkled at all, and pretended to be calm and said, "Let's talk while we walk."

Seeing the boss and Old Wu leaving in a hurry with a serious face, Wu Qian couldn't help but roll her eyes.

However, when she thought of the overtime pay promised by her boss, Wu Qian's motivation was rekindled.

Just work overtime, as long as you have money you are the boss!

Who made her want to create better living conditions for her children?

Outside the company's front desk, Old Wu couldn't hide his excitement, and said with a trembling voice: "Boss, Hua Wei agreed.

It’s just the last generation of chips. The latest chips have a low yield rate, so they want to keep them for their own use.”

Li Pingan, who was just trying it out, was surprised when he heard the news and confirmed again:

"The news turned out to be true. Huawei is willing to sell chips to the outside world."

It’s no wonder that Li Pingan was so surprised. You know, the reason why Warwick mobile phones have achieved such brilliant sales results in the market.

Its self-developed chips have made an indelible contribution, as they are Warwick’s core competitiveness.

Even though the Kirin chip cannot catch up with the latest technology chips of the other two companies, there are still many people willing to pay for it.

But... now, things are getting more interesting.

Li Pingan wondered in his heart, would other domestic mobile phone manufacturers choose to use Kirin chips in some of their models?
He guessed that it was unlikely.

Unless there is strong policy support from above.

After all, for any company, who would be willing to hand over key technologies or core components that are related to its survival to competitors?
Furthermore, even if some mobile phone manufacturers have this intention, other chip suppliers will probably not sit idly by and will inevitably try their best to force these mobile phone manufacturers to choose between the two in order to maintain their own market share and interests.

Li Pingan raised his lips slightly and said with a smile: "Old Wu, I am looking forward to their reactions and feelings after they find out that we use Kirin chips."

As the saying goes, if there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three...

Li Pingan thinks that with Zhilifang launching the smart guide dog equipped with Kirin chip, Rongyao brand, as Huawei's "own son", will most likely follow suit.

If you don't follow up on such a good opportunity, what are you waiting for?
"Old Wu, let's order one million chips from Huawei first.

After the chips are purchased, they will be put into production as soon as possible.”

Li Pingan made a decisive decision.

One million chips may sound like a large number, but for a company of Warwick's size, it is just that.

The sales volume is not even enough for a mid-range phone.

Old Wu was not foolish enough to question why so many chips were ordered, nor was he worried about whether they could be sold successfully.

He just nodded solemnly and responded: "Okay!"

At night, Li Ping'an lay alone on the bed in the rental house, looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky outside the window, but he could not fall asleep for a long time.

Various information and data about virtual reality games kept emerging in his mind, and his heart was like a turbulent sea, and he couldn't calm down.

Virtual reality game!
