Chapter 285 Kicking the Ball
Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds and smiled slightly, "No problem, since the three bosses want to see it, let's see it."
"Xiao Chen, you take the three bosses with you The boss goes to the conference room and shows them our AI image recognition system."
After that, Qin Shaoyan walked away lightly, leaving the three coal bosses in embarrassment.
Secretary Xiao Chen kept a professional smile and said, "Three bosses please."
Pushing open the door of the conference room, it was a mess inside, as if the affair had just ended and the bed had not been tidied up yet.
The unfinished mineral water, the melons, pears and peaches scattered on the ground, and the half-eaten delicious desserts, it seemed that this meeting was very rich.
At this time, the conference room was empty except for Xing Wenqiang and two new programmers, who were packing up their computers.
With a sweet smile, Xiao Chen said with a hint of anger in his voice: "Director Xing, Mr. Qin asked you to demonstrate our AI system to these three bosses, please."
"Uh." Xing Wenqiang was stunned for a moment and smiled at Xiao Chen, "No trouble, no trouble, Xiao Liu, turn on the phone."
Xiao Liu, who was putting away the computer cables, suddenly lost his expression. He reluctantly put the newly moved case back in place, plugged in the power cord, connected the monitor, and plugged in the keyboard and mouse.
After a few minutes of busy work, the "Image Recognition System" interface reappeared on the projector.
Then Xing Wenqiang began to introduce to the three coal bosses, "This is our latest AI intelligent image recognition system. Computers analyze, process and understand images to identify various targets and objects in different modes. technology. ”
“It involves multiple subject areas, including computer vision, machine learning and image processing.” The habit of peer communication involves a lot of terminology.
The three coal bosses sitting next to them looked at each other as if they were reading from heaven.
Do you understand?
No, what are these, what about you?
I didn’t understand it either, I just felt it was very powerful.
Song Daorong, who was being pushed over, hesitated for a moment, then interrupted Xing Wenqiang's explanation, "I'm sorry, Director Xing, I have something to ask."
Although they are coal bosses, they still respect skilled people, so they ask questions very sincerely.
"What does your image recognition have to do with artificial intelligence?"
"Image recognition is a key technology in the field of artificial intelligence." Xing Wenqiang thought for a while and explained, " Image recognition mainly relies on computer vision technology, which extracts useful information by analyzing the pixel values, colors, edges, textures and other features of the image."
"These features are then compared through classifiers or deep learning models. Yes, to determine the object or scene represented by the image. "
"In order to improve the accuracy of recognition, it is usually necessary to use a large amount of annotated data to train the model."
"Each image has its own unique characteristics, and humans tend to quickly pick up on these characteristics when recognizing images."
"For example, when we see a letter, we quickly notice its shape , capitalization, stroke characteristics and other key information. In image recognition, the computer also needs to go through a similar training process to learn how to accurately identify various objects.”
Song Daorong thought for a while, and then gave up. Thinking, "Then what is the use of your image recognition?"
Xing Wenqiang became excited at this time, "The image recognition system uses computers to identify targets and objects in various modes, such as face recognition. , fingerprint recognition, object recognition, scene recognition."
"Can you give me an example?" Liu Yuanrui asked shamelessly, "Can you be more specific and give us an example?"
Xing Wenqiang thought for a while, "Everyone should have seen face recognition and fingerprint recognition in movies. They are mainly used in the field of security protection, such as safes, bank vaults, etc."
"This technology in the future When promoted, there will be more application scenarios. For example, in the police field, criminals can be identified based on cameras and fingerprints left at crime scenes can be automatically compared.” There is a license plate number, so you don’t have to stand on the street to catch traffic violations. You can just use a camera.”
So Director Xing’s remaining emotional intelligence came online. He remembered what Mr. Qin had told him before, so he coughed.
"Of course, these are just basic applications. Image recognition technology mainly helps artificial intelligence to identify and judge images."
"Artificial intelligence needs to see the image first, then identify and analyze it, and then provide Decision-making is just like that of people.”
“For example, in the field of smart home, a personal artificial intelligence butler can make judgments and identify users when they enter the range of his camera.”
"Then the smart butler will operate according to the user's needs, such as opening the gate and garage door in advance, filling the bathtub with water in advance, playing music..."
These are the manuscripts given to him by Mr. Qin, and he memorized them in advance I have passed it, so it is inevitably a bit blunt to say it.
Fortunately, the three coal bosses understood, and Liu Yuanrui suddenly realized, "Does Bill Gates also have this thing in his house?"
Xing Wenqiang was stunned for a moment, what does this have to do with Bill Gates, but thinking of Qin In general, he said patiently: "I don't know if the system at Bill Gates' home is like this, but the technical principles should be similar."
Xing Wenqiang demonstrated it to several people as he spoke. Basic image recognition.
I immediately found a photo on the campus website and uploaded it to the intelligent identification system. The next step was to witness the miracle.
Under the shocking gazes of the three coal bosses, the intelligent recognition system accurately identified all the objects in the photo, almost exactly.
The intelligent recognition system can not only distinguish flowers, birds, fish, insects, stones, houses, and portraits, but can also identify seven colors and numbers.
The stunned Song Daorong even tried it himself, verified it with the system, and finally sighed, "Has technology developed to this point now?"
"Thank you, Director Xing, for your explanation." Liu Yuanrui He stood up and left the conference room.
There is no need to listen to the rest. They don’t understand it anyway. They just need to know that this thing is awesome.
Then the next step is how to convince Mr. Qin to let them get in the car quickly before the door is closed.
...
But Mr. Qin didn’t seem to want to take them to play together.
When Liu Yuanrui proposed investing in the field of artificial intelligence, Qin Shaoyan said with a smile on his face: "Artificial intelligence technology is very good and powerful. It is a major development trend in the future. It is good to plan in advance."
"The three bosses have the funds and strength. They can set up a research team by themselves."
Liu Yuanrui was confused when he heard this. Does this mean that Mr. Qin is going to leave them and go it alone?
We have money, but no one has skills.
Besides, what is the use of us coal bosses researching artificial intelligence? Who can we sell it to?
No, I have to hug Mr. Qin’s thigh no matter what.
"Mr. Qin, we are just a bunch of local bosses, we don't know anything about the high technology of the Internet." Liu Yuanrui accompanied the smiling face cautiously, "The train runs fast because of the headband."
"Even if we engage in high technology, we still need professionals like Mr. Qin to be at the helm."
Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "I'll forget it. I have a lot to do, so I have to focus on raising investment." "You can talk to the person in charge of the specific business, either Director Xing or Mr. Zhang."
Qin Shaoyan sent the three of them out of the house in just a few words.
Liu Yuanrui was a little angry at this time, but the situation was stronger than others, so he could only be patient and come to Xing Wenqiang again.
Xing Wenqiang thought that the three people came to consult about technical issues again, so he quickly said to Xiao Liu, "Turn on the system again."
Xiao Liu, who had already put away the computer, turned pale and had to plug it in again and turn it on.
Liu Yuanrui smiled, "No rush, no rush, I have something to ask Director Xing, how does your artificial intelligence language research department raise funds."
"Huh? !" Xing Wenqiang looked confused.
How to raise funds is of no concern to me, I am just an R&D person.
However, it was not convenient for him to use foul language to Mr. Qin’s guests, so he could only say patiently: “I am only responsible for the technology, please contact Mr. Qin for financing matters.”
"..."
Facing the ball that was kicked back, Liu Yuanrui could only smile and said: "Director Xing, would it be convenient to leave a business card?"
Xing Wenqiang was stunned for a moment and subconsciously touched it. He touched his pocket and then said, "I'm sorry, the company hasn't sent it to me yet. If you have any questions, please go directly to Mr. Qin."
The three of them had no choice but to find Zhang Pingyi again and ask about the investment again.
Zhang Mingyi was very surprised, and then patiently explained to the three coal bosses, "We welcome the three coal bosses who want to invest, but investing in this matter is still risky, so you three should be cautious."
"Moreover, Mr. Qin needs to make the best decision on how the company will raise funds and who it will cooperate with."
"I am just a vice president in charge of technology. I cannot make the final decision on the company's financing business."
Liu Yuanrui's expression was very wonderful. His skillful passing tactics and familiar words reminded him of the time when he was dealing with the administrative department.
"Trouble, Mr. Zhang, can you communicate with Mr. Qin?" Liu Yuanrui said humbly, "We are very sincere."
"Even if I can make the decision, I can't make the decision now. "While talking," Zhang Pingyi said helplessly, "The artificial intelligence research department needs to set up a separate company. The company has not yet been registered, and the shareholding has not yet been determined."
"Even if you invest money, you can't get in."
The three coal bosses who were walked around were a little confused and stood at the door of the campus network company with blank faces.
Song Daorong complained: "I can't say it, but you asked me to come, and I was treated like a monkey."
"Shut up!" Jiang Mingsheng said angrily, "If you don't want to make money, you are now Just leave."
"If you ask me to pay, you have to give me an explanation." Song Daorong was very angry, but he didn't move at all.
Jiang Mingsheng was too lazy to pay attention to him, and turned to look at Liu Yuanrui, "Boss Liu, this guy named Qin doesn't keep his word. He clearly promised to take us to play together, but now I see him trying to weld the car door shut again."
< br>"Don't panic." Liu Yuanrui took a deep breath, "There is still room for maneuver now."
"As the saying goes, a hundred birds in the forest is worse than one bird in the hand."
< br>"Send the money to the film and television company immediately. Let's finalize this matter first, so that Mr. Qin won't pinch us again."
Song Daorong hurriedly asked: "The film and television company is a trivial matter, what is this person doing? What to do with intelligence? ”
"I'm going to tell the ugly story first. I only agreed to fill the hole for you because of this project. If artificial intelligence doesn't let me invest, then why do I want shares in a film and television company?"
"Don't give it to me. !" Liu Yuanrui glared at him, "It's not like the film and television company doesn't make money. Why are you so talkative? If you don't want to do it, just get out."
"If you don't want to do it, others will." That's right. Although there aren't many coal bosses, Liu Yuanrui can still attract a few people.
“In addition to sending money, I have to do another thing.” Liu Yuanrui looked at the two of them, “Which of you knows the reporter?”
Jiang Mingsheng was a little surprised, "Why are you looking for reporters?"
"Find a few reporters first and give this artificial intelligence a good show." Liu Yuanrui said.
......
The next day, Xia Lian, the art director of Kuaibo Media Arts Co., Ltd., officially took office.
Xia Lian sat on the chair anxiously, looking at the boss opposite, waiting for him to lecture.
"The company's funds will be in place soon." Qin Shaoyan put down the contract in his hand, "A total of 1.5 billion, are these funds enough?"
"Huh?" Xia Lian was stunned at first, and then Nodding frantically, "Enough is enough."
The biggest project she had ever worked on before was only a small-budget film worth five million U.S. dollars. This time she served as the director of the company, and it had $150 million just after it opened. RMB funds.
I have never fought such a wealthy battle in my eight lifetimes.
Of course, not all of this money will be used for one project, but when operating a film and television project, the budget can be much wider.
"Tell me what your next step is." Qin Shaoyan asked casually.
Xia Lian thought for a while, "I will first find a few projects to cooperate with other film and television companies. We will invest in some projects, and then slowly accumulate our own team."
"In the early stage, we will mainly focus on TV dramas, and the film market will not be considered for the time being."
"I will look for a few more capable agents. They all have some actors on hand and sign them first."
Qin Shaoyan nodded, "There is no rush for actors and singers, let's start with the project first."
"Help me do something first. You go find a director named Shang Jing."
"Director Shang?" Xia Lian asked in confusion, "He makes sitcoms, why are you looking for him?"
"I heard that he plans to make a sitcom of a martial arts version in ancient costumes." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "Get this project over."
Although Xia Lian felt that Mr. Qin had directly intervened The business was a bit strange, but she was fine with the decision.
After all, the cost of sitcoms is very low and the investment is small.
Now that the boss has spoken, let’s give it a try.
"Also, the company plans to produce a spy drama next year, so you should prepare in advance." Qin Shaoyan continued, "Let's call the project "Latent" for the time being."
