Chapter 3057: Work Hard and Fast (Part 2)
"Server Alliance, thousands of partners, are you planning to do something big again?" Lao Ma looked at Feng Yiping, "Why do I think you are in a hurry?"
"I'm almost done," Feng Yiping smiled, "Of course there are some things that I have to do quickly."
"How come, you will always live in everyone's heart," Lao Ma said immediately.
"Ahem," Mayer seemed to be quite indifferent to this. She coughed and picked up her phone. "I was wondering if I should talk to Rubin. Speaking of which, Microsoft's threat to Android is also huge. Do you want to call him over?"
She obviously did this because of Feng Yiping's words, and immediately thought of Microsoft, another member of the Wintel alliance.
"Microsoft," Feng Yiping tapped his hands on the sofa, "their strength in operating systems is of course second to none. The Windows Phone system they spent a lot of resources to build is currently the third largest smartphone operating system. System, if they use force..."
He waved his hand, "No need to shout yet,"
"This is also possible, but the situation in this regard is somewhat different from that of chips,"
“In the field of smartphone operating systems, Microsoft is indeed ranked third, but their market share is less than 10%. I think that after several years of development, we and Apple have long been on the same page in this field. They have established an unshakable dominant position. No matter how hard they exert their efforts, I think the impact will be very limited."
"Besides, how should they exert their strength?"
While analyzing, he said, "One of the biggest advantages of Android is that it is open source and free. Microsoft will never do this. Their WP system may be open source, but it will never be free."
"In addition to advertising, Android can also promote our products and attract traffic to them. Apple currently mainly relies on hardware to make profits, while Microsoft can only rely on fees,"
"They dare not not charge. We all know that Microsoft's core revenue comes from the charging of PC operating systems. If the mobile operating system is free, it will inevitably affect the charging of PC operating systems. This will shake the foundation of their business model. , it should never be done,”
"I'm still optimistic about this," he looked at Mayer. "Without free open source, how can they threaten us? It's very, very difficult!"
"But Apple," he looked solemn again, looking up at the ceiling, "considering that Apple's user base is getting bigger and bigger, and they have already made a lot of moves in the content field..."
"Doesn't this rule out that they will also make efforts in the field of online advertising in the future?" Lao Ma continued.
"Yes, we can't rule this out," Feng Yiping scratched his head. "In the future, we may compete with Apple in more fields."
Although through his efforts, his relationship with Apple is still in a very good state, there is naturally a big gap between him and Steve Jobs.
Apple has never been as easy to talk to as Google, and now Apple is even more so.
"Then let Apple work on this," Mayer tossed her hair, "Let them do it!"
That guy was really domineering, as if Apple would try to kill him if he wanted to.
It makes Feng Yiping a little ashamed. Yes, Apple is great, but in the advertising field, how could it be that it can't do it after it started so many years ago?
"Hey, we still need to pay attention to tactics," he said to respect himself, Lao Ma, and the man.

The third phase of the π base project is surrounded by many laboratories and flower trees and lawns in the central conference center. The smartest brains in Feng Yiping's company, 126 experts from home and abroad, listened to Dr. Lu and Wo After Lundester's speech, there was either a lot of discussion or deep contemplation.
After all, their speeches were all related to chips, and the visions revealed by their speeches were truly ambitious.
It seems that the company has made up its mind to become a chip giant spanning several fields.
But really speaking, which of the company’s ambitions is only in the chip field?
When they saw Feng Yiping standing up from his seat and walking towards Taichung, no matter what he was thinking, all the scientists immediately gave him warm applause.
Such ambition is of course a good thing for them. It means more topics, more funding, in other words, more opportunities.
"I first want to thank everyone, but I don't want to thank everyone for their excellent work. I want to thank everyone. They all thought that watching "Avengers" last night was pretty good,"
To bring such people together, of course, we have to prepare some group activities. Feng Yiping took the initiative and held a movie viewing party to bring "Avengers", which will be released in the United States in a week, to give these experts a sneak peek.
The effect was quite good, and it provided these scientists with a lot of material to discuss or complain about... so in the end they were kind enough to give a good evaluation to this film, which is the company's largest investment at present.
"We will not discuss whether the scenes in the movie, even those related to technology, are realistic. I want to tell you that really, I have a dream. I hope that we can all achieve the high-tech in the movie in the future. "
The scientists commented on Feng Yiping's dream with hearty laughter.
"I have fully received everyone's feedback," Feng Yiping also smiled, "but I think some directions are still realistic, such as those reported by Dr. Lu and Warren. I am sure that in the field of AI, we can still achieve some results and slowly realize some of the cool high-tech in the movie,"
"You know, 50 years ago, many technologies that are now popular were also authentic fantasy at that time,"
"Everyone knows that I don't know much about specific technologies, but this does not prevent me from coming to such a conclusion. In the future, in cloud services, autonomous driving, smartphones... and other fields, as long as it involves the field of deep learning and AI, AI chips will have a broad application foundation,"
"In recent years, everyone has had more and more discussions on the next step of development, that is, the Internet of Things. I also believe that in the future, AI chips will also be the key to supporting the Internet of Things where everything has spirits,"
"Therefore, everyone, it is very important to carry out such research and development! Breakthroughs in this field are also the key for our companies to stay ahead in the future! ”
“And the scientific researchers represented here are the key to this key!”
“I have repeatedly warned our executives to have a sense of crisis. I hope that everyone here can also have a sense of crisis. We are currently in the leading position in the industry in many fields of research and development. This actually only means that we are facing greater and greater challenges.”
“From all aspects, we are facing greater and greater challenges. This requires us to first find the right direction, and then make achievements in the right direction!”
“Our meeting can actually be said to be a mobilization meeting. I hope that everyone can shift their focus to the field of AI in the next work.”
“From top to bottom, the company must also lean towards this field in terms of funds and manpower, and all departments will definitely cooperate highly and actively in this regard.”
“I can tell you for sure that first of all, there is no shortage of funds,” he waved his hand nonchalantly, “For such an important direction of research and development, I don’t care about the ratio of our research and development investment to our revenue at all.”
This won him sincere applause.
To say that these scientific researchers, to a certain extent, care more about money than most people.
In the field of scientific research, everyone has a very deep understanding of the saying that money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible.
It is very rare to meet such a person who does not care about money.
And Drucker, the vice president who is still in charge of human resources, knows that it may be easier to recruit people himself in the future.
"I look forward to everyone to determine their own topics around this direction as soon as possible, not only because of the challenges we face, but also because it is 2012, everyone, according to the Mayan calendar, there is not much time left for us!"
"Haha," the venue was suddenly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
For these scientists, the hot topic of the end of the world this year is the funniest joke.
"Also because I have already determined a topic," Feng Yiping threw out another topic that made Lao Ma and others stunned, "I hope to build a smart city based on AI technology,"
Smart city?
Many people immediately think of the highly automated bases on the moon, Mars, or the bottom of the ocean in science fiction movies...
This is not based on AI technology, but it is the culmination of AI technology... So to put it bluntly, this is assigning us tasks, right?
