Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 400: Witnesses of the Era, Caught in the Act!

At the press conference, the excited chatter never stopped.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, Jiang Qing slowly walked back to the center of the stage, glanced at her watch, and showed a perfectly timed look of surprise, which quickly turned into a relaxed smile.

"I can't believe how fast time flies; it's already 3:30."

He spoke as if he were chatting casually, in a relaxed and leisurely manner.

"It seems I got so engrossed in chatting with everyone that I forgot the time."

There was a good-natured laugh from the audience.

As soon as Jiang Qing spoke, everyone's attention immediately focused, afraid of missing a single word he said next.

Today has already been filled with so many shocks and surprises, it's dazzling.

Jiang Qing slightly suppressed her smile, her gaze sweeping over the familiar and unfamiliar faces below the stage.

"At the end of the press conference, let's chat for a few more minutes. More than a hundred years ago, Shanghai was the most modern city in the country. Even today, it remains at the forefront of the times. But today, January 12, 2023, what do you think truly represents modernization?"

He paused briefly, letting the question resonate in everyone's minds for a moment, before continuing, raising his hand and extending one finger.

"In my view, modernization today is AI-driven."

"The explosive progress of AI technology is having an increasingly prominent impact on industrial upgrading and transformation. I can say with certainty that in the next ten years, no company or industry will be able to remain unaffected and not be deeply involved with AI."

His words resonated deeply, prompting many domestic business tycoons in the audience to nod and ponder.

"So, what should a truly AI-driven company look like?"

Jiang Qing raised an eyebrow and answered her own question.

"I believe that at least a trinity should be achieved."

He raised his hand again and gestured with his fingers.

"First, we must have an AI mindset. This doesn't mean that everyone has to write code and work on algorithms, but rather that we need to rethink our company's strategy based on the underlying logic of the Internet of Things. Enterprises need to redefine their position in this era of ubiquitous sensors and data flow."

"second."

Jiang Qing extended her second finger, her gaze sweeping across the entire room.

"You need to have AI capabilities. Please note that the capabilities mentioned here do not require you to develop AI, but rather to be good at using AI. In the AI ​​era, a company must be very clear-headed, focusing its main business on the areas it does best, while being good at using the most advanced AI tools to improve efficiency, optimize the experience, and maximize its advantages."

When it came to the third point, Jiang Qing's expression became noticeably more serious.

"Third, we must adhere to AI ethics. A responsible AI company must abide by four basic principles: safety and controllability, equal access to technological capabilities, enabling AI to teach people to learn and help them grow, rather than replace them, and most importantly, AI should bring more freedom and possibilities to humanity, rather than restrict them. Based on this, as you all know, we at Wuwen established an AI ethics lab with HKUST early on, specifically for researching AI ethics."

His words echoed in the hall, prompting deep reflection.

"Today, the Wuwen Big Model we are releasing, namely Wanxiang, is just the prelude to the application of artificial intelligence."

Seeing the reactions on the scene, Jiang Qing's voice became spirited again.

"In the next decade, Wuwen Technology will bring more practical applications, making AI the best tool for mankind and permeating all aspects of life."

He opened his arms as if embracing the entire future.

"The future is here. This is not just a slogan, but a reality that is unfolding. And each of us will be a witness to this era!"

Jiang Qing bowed slightly to the audience, then quickly straightened up and resumed her smiling demeanor.

"That concludes today's press conference. Thank you again for attending, and thank you to all the friends around the world who watched the press conference via live stream. Thank you everyone, this is Jiang Qing, see you next time!"

In an instant, the entire audience spontaneously stood up, and thunderous applause lasted for a long time, mixed with cheers, as if they would not stop until they lifted the roof off the entire convention center.

Lei Jun and the others in the front row clapped while whispering about the arrangements for the evening banquet, eagerly anticipating further interaction with Jiang Qing.

Now, they know better than anyone that the rise of Wuwen Technology is unstoppable.

Since it cannot be stopped, the best option is to cooperate; they must integrate with Wanxiang as soon as possible.

The experts and scholars from around the world were even more excited, their faces filled with a thirst for knowledge, eager to discuss many technical issues with Jiang Qing in depth.

More than a hundred media reporters immediately swarmed to the front row, completely blocking the area in front of Jiang Qing.

"Dr. Jiang! Does Wanxiang's open source approach mean that Wuwen Technology will give up huge commercial profits? What are your real considerations?"

A reporter wearing gold-rimmed glasses rushed to the front and asked sharp questions.

Jiang Qing had anticipated this problem.

"The best business is to build an ecosystem. When everyone can use and make good use of AI, the total value created far exceeds the profits of a single company. Wuwen is willing to be the soil, not the only flower."

The answer was so natural.

Lei Jun, who was not far away, grinned and suddenly felt a toothache.

This kid!
"President Jiang! With such a significant reduction in Wanxiang's costs, does it mean that compromises have been made on data security or model performance?"

Another reporter from a technology media outlet then asked a question.

"That's a good question."

Jiang Qing raised an eyebrow, her tone firm and confident.

"On the contrary. It is precisely because we have made fundamental breakthroughs in core algorithms and engineering optimizations that we have been able to achieve the ultimate improvement in efficiency. Security and performance are our bottom line; we will only become stronger and will never compromise. The detailed technical white paper will be released tomorrow. We welcome all technical colleagues to review it carefully and also welcome any criticism."

A foreign journalist squeezed forward.

"Mr. Jiang, OpenAI and other organizations have invested heavily. Have you considered whether your open-source strategy might have a devastating impact on them?"

Jiang Qing shrugged, looking relaxed and sincere.

“I have always believed that the development of technology is not a zero-sum game. Our goal is not to defeat anyone, but to make the pie bigger together. I believe that our colleagues at OpenAI are equally talented, and I look forward to seeing them make even more brilliant innovations based on our open-source achievements. Healthy competition drives progress, and we welcome all healthy competition based on open-source rules.”

His answer demonstrated both confidence and composure, drawing nods of approval from the surrounding reporters.

"Jiang Shen! The Wuwen AI Glasses are so cool! When will they be available for purchase? And what will the price be?"

A younger reporter shouted excitedly, echoing the sentiments of countless viewers watching the live stream.

Jiang Qing was amused by the title and realized that the reporter was probably a fan of hers.

"Thank you for your recognition. Our AI glasses are still in the engineering prototype stage and require extensive testing and optimization to ensure a good user experience. As for the price..."

He blinked.

"Our goal is to make it easily accessible to as many people as possible, and the price will be affordable for everyone. Please stay tuned to Wuwen Technology's official updates for the specific release date."

He moved with ease through the media frenzy, responding to almost every question with clarity, humor, and insight, sometimes quoting classical texts, sometimes spouting witty remarks, eliciting constant laughter from the audience.

At this moment, Zhao Quan stepped forward and invited Zhang Yiming and the others to the banquet arranged by Wu Wen, while Zhang Bin led the foreign experts and scholars out.

Jiang Nan waved to Jiang Qing across the crowd with a smile, then walked up to Yao Qizhi and other domestic experts and greeted them politely, preparing to accompany them to the hotel where the banquet was to be held.

Other audience members also began to leave the venue in an orderly manner under the guidance of Wuwen Technology staff.

Zhou Ye looked at Jiang Qing, who was surrounded by reporters, his little face full of pride.

Meng Ziyi stood beside her, trying hard to control her expression, afraid that she would see through her.

My heart was pounding like a cat's paw; I just wanted to rush up and give that big bad guy a hug!

He's so handsome! Chen Duling quietly watched Jiang Qing being surrounded by the crowd, and the complex emotions in her heart grew stronger.

He not only silenced the doubters, but he did it so brilliantly and thoroughly.

Zhang Jingyi lowered the brim of her hat, glanced at Jiang Qing who was almost completely surrounded by media, and then turned and walked out with the crowd.

She really wanted to give him a big hug in person, but it was obviously not the right time.

Just as Wang was about to get up and leave, a man in his thirties suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Hello Ms. Wang, Mr. Guo has instructed you to attend Wuwen's dinner party with him."

His words were very polite, but they left no room for refusal.

"Ok."

Wang was stunned for a moment, then nodded obediently, a slight smile playing on her lips from an angle the other person couldn't see.

Isn't this exactly what I wanted?

Tian Xiwei looked at Jiang Qing, who was surrounded, from afar and felt troubled. She pouted unhappily and then got up to blend into the crowd.

After taking only a few steps, his gaze suddenly fell upon a familiar figure.

She frowned, quickened her pace to catch up, and patted the other person on the shoulder.

Liu Haocun subconsciously turned around, and was stunned for a moment when he saw Tian Xiwei, then his eyebrows curved into a smile.

"Oh, so you're here too."

Her tone was so familiar, as if she were a close female friend.

Tian Xiwei narrowed her eyes as she looked at the pair of smiling, curved eyes above the mask.

That scheming green tea bitch!

Li Yitong straightened her clothes and got up from her seat.

She needs to go to the restroom right away...

Zhang Ruonan and Zhao Jinmai also got up and left one after another, all realizing that Jiang Qing would not be able to make time for them today.

At this point, the live stream chat was so frenzied that the screen was almost invisible. Countless comments such as "The future has arrived," "Open up new possibilities," and "Jiang Shen is awesome" flooded the screen, interspersed with a large number of questions about when the Wuwen AI glasses would be released.

Zhou Ye glanced reluctantly at Jiang Qing, who was surrounded by the media, and then turned to look at Meng Ziyi.

"Sister Meng, let's go back to the hotel first. He must be very busy tonight."

Meng Ziyi's eyes darted around, and suddenly she clutched her stomach.

"Ono, I have a bit of a stomachache and need to go to the restroom. Could you wait for me outside for a bit?"

"Oh? Do you need me to come with you?"

Zhou Ye asked worriedly.

"no, I'm fine!"

Meng Ziyi quickly waved his hand.

"I'll be done soon, just wait for me at the door!"

With that, he turned and walked quickly outside.

Zhou Ye, unsuspecting, joined the crowd and headed towards the exit.

On the other side, Dilraba and Jing Tian's eyes met unintentionally as they left. They understood each other perfectly and silently lowered their hat brims before leaving quietly.

In an instant, they thought of that night at the Bazaar Charity Night, and they knew what to do.

Their presence here at the same time says it all.

Nearly half an hour later, with the help of staff, Jiang Qingcai finally escaped the lingering media and returned to the backstage lounge.

Closing the door instantly shuts out the noise from the outside world.

He let out a long sigh, unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, and felt a dryness and discomfort in his throat.

After more than two hours of intense speaking, I was physically and mentally exhausted, far from the relaxed and carefree feeling I had on the surface.

He walked to the clothes rack, preparing to change into more comfortable clothes, when the door to the lounge was gently pushed open from the outside, and a tall figure quickly flashed in, then swiftly closed the door behind him.

"Jiang Qing!"

Jiang Qing didn't even need to turn around to recognize the person from that familiar yet excitedly trembling voice.

As soon as he turned around, Meng Ziyi pounced into his arms like an excited butterfly, wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him passionately on the lips, making a crisp sound.

"You were amazing! You were so cool on stage today! You completely captivated me!"

She tilted her head back, her bright eyes fixed on him, filled with adoration, her cheeks flushed with a charming blush of excitement.

"My palms were sweating with excitement down there! That Vientiane! That pair of glasses! My god! How are you so amazing! Do you have any more of those glasses? Can I have one to play with?"

She spoke so fast it was like popping beans, giving Jiang Qing no chance to interrupt, and kept shaking his arm.

"Did you see the expressions on the faces of those big shots in the audience? Haha, they were all dumbfounded! And also, you were so cool when you confronted that foreign reporter! Hmph, let's see if they dare to look down on us again!"

Looking at her cheerful and charming appearance, Jiang Qing couldn't help but chuckle, and her previous fatigue was greatly relieved.

He reached out and gently pinched her flushed cheeks, his tone full of affection.

"How did you sneak in? Didn't you go back to the hotel to rest with Ono? You're so reckless, aren't you afraid of being seen?"

"I don't care, I'm too excited, I can't sit still!"

Meng Ziyi pouted, still immersed in extreme excitement.

God has no idea how much she was holding it in; she was practically about to explode!
She took Jiang Qing's arm and bounced lightly like a little girl.

"You have no idea how excited Ono was too! Her little face was so proud, her mouth was practically sticking out to the sky! If she knew I secretly came to see you first, she'd definitely pout again..."

When Zhou Ye was mentioned, a fleeting hint of guilt flashed in her eyes, but it was immediately overwhelmed by her admiration for Jiang Qing. She continued chattering about the details of the press conference, mimicking the shocked expressions of some people in the audience, laughing heartily.

Jiang Qing admired her rosy cheeks and let her vent her excitement, naturally putting one arm around her waist to prevent her from tripping over her excitement.

He was about to tell her to be quiet, but his attention was completely drawn to the lively and energetic appearance of the person in his arms, and he swallowed his words.

Neither of them noticed that the door that Meng Ziyi had casually closed was not completely shut, leaving a gap.

And right outside that gap, a pair of eyes filled with shock and disbelief were staring intently at the two people inside the lounge who were sitting very intimately and laughing and chatting!

The owner of the eyes seemed to have been struck by lightning, standing frozen at the doorway, his blood seemingly frozen instantly, his whole body ice-cold.

Through the crack in the door, the natural and intimate interaction between Jiang Qing and Meng Ziyi, Meng Ziyi's charming and dependent demeanor, Jiang Qing's indulgent and doting smile... every detail was like a sharp knife, piercing her eyes and sinking into her heart.

Inside the lounge, Meng Ziyi remained oblivious, continuing to chatter excitedly.

Beyond the crack, the complex emotions in that eye gradually faded, leaving only a cold, indifferent gaze upon the scene.

Without a trace of emotion.
