There was dead silence in the conference room of Samsung headquarters.
The seats were filled with senior managers from various departments of Samsung Electronics. Everyone looked at Gao Zhendong in the main seat, waiting for him to speak.
Gao Zhendong had a sad face, which could be said to be a bit ugly.
After the army ants’ intelligent assistant Xiaodie appeared, their intelligent assistant Bixby seemed a bit useless.
But they weren't too worried yet.
Because the mobile phone business of Marching Ant Company has not jumped out of the Chinese market and entered the international market. Their business is mainly in the international market, and they also support the application of smart assistants.
Now there's trouble.
It can be said to be adding insult to injury.
Apple's Siri intelligent upgrade can fully control mobile phones, which makes them feel a huge threat.
But Apple's turmoil has not yet passed, and even more troublesome Army Ant companies have joined in the fun, licensing multilingual smart assistants to five companies.
If Apple Company is like a strong man charging towards them with a machete, then the actions of Army Ant Company are equivalent to a group of strong men charging towards them with spears.
This is a deadly threat.
China's market share is getting smaller and smaller, and it is also facing fierce competition from Chinese mobile phone companies in the international market. In the past year, because Army Ant has not stepped out of the international market and Apple has been unable to use smart assistants, Samsung has emerged from the shadow of battery explosions and increased its share of the international market.
But the moment Apple announced the Siri upgrade, the situation had reversed.
Now we have to face the threat from China Mobile Phone Company.
The emergence of Army Ant's multilingual smart assistant is a foregone conclusion. If no measures are taken, Samsung's mobile phone business will become the next Nokia in less than two years.
Thinking of this, Gao Zhendong was in a very bad mood.
With a sigh, Gao Zhendong looked at the middle-aged man with long curly hair next to him. He is Li Renzhong, who is responsible for the research and development of Samsung's mobile software and services business. The birth of Samsung Bixby was made by him.
"Li Renzong, how long will it take for Bixby's intelligence to be upgraded?" Gao Zhendong asked.
"Mr. Gao, are you asking about something like Siri or Army Ant Xiaodie?" Li Renzhong looked solemn. After Siri's intelligent upgrade, his department was under tremendous pressure from top to bottom.
"Yes." Gao Zhendong nodded: "This is a revolution. Only breakthroughs in smart technology can save our mobile phone market."
"I'm afraid it won't be easy." Li Renzhong shook his head: "Artificial intelligence, if you find an intelligent algorithm, it is like finding a valve to release water. After opening the gate, it will pour out thousands of miles, and it will be easy to break through. If you can't find a suitable intelligent algorithm, it will be difficult for the water to get out. It will take a while. Accumulating little by little, it may take a long time.”
He was mentally prepared, but after receiving Li Renzhong's answer, Gao Zhendong's face turned even more ugly.
By the time the technology breaks through, they will be out of business.
"Tell me what you think. If you can't find a strategy, I'm afraid we will be in trouble next time."
The senior officials on the scene looked at each other. Now it is Apple, Huawei, and other major Chinese mobile phone giants who are collectively attacking. It can be said that the attack is so fierce that there is no way to deal with it. It is no longer a troublesome problem.
But there is no breakthrough in Bixby’s technology, and there is no good solution at all.
"This... let me talk about it." The director of the marketing department stood up: "The only way at the moment is to find an authorized intelligent assistant from the Army Ant Company."
The people on the field fell silent.
Intelligent operation is a revolution. Apart from that, there seems to be no other way, otherwise it will be eliminated.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest.
"If Bixby cannot break through within two months, this is the only way." Another executive also agreed with this idea: "But the premise is that Army Ant Company is willing to authorize us."
"I can give a clear answer. It is very likely that smart technology will not be able to break through within two months, but we will try our best." Li Renzhong said.
Gao Zhendong sat in his seat and began to think deeply. His brows were tightly knitted together without spreading. After a long time, he finally spoke: "Contact the Marching Ant Company and try to get the authorization of the intelligent assistant."
“Has someone from Samsung contacted us?”
In the office, Chen Mo put down his tea cup, a little surprised, but then he smiled, not surprised.
"Yes, Huang Degui, the president of Samsung Greater China, contacted me and said that they wanted to talk to us." Zhao Min said: "Don't think about it, it is the authorization issue of the multilingual smart assistant."
"So sure?"
"Nonsense, apart from this issue, I can't think of any other issues that would make them take the initiative to ask for help. Samsung is more anxious than Apple right now."
"Why?" Chen Mo asked.
"It's very simple. In our country, Samsung's share is getting smaller and smaller. The American market has encountered Apple's smart breakthrough. In the European market, we have authorized smart assistants to Huawei, Indian and Southeast Asian markets, and rice, Opal and Vivo. When brands are under siege, Samsung will face a dilemma from all sides in the future.”
Zhao Min felt relaxed and had a smile on her face.
Last time Samsung interrupted the supply of OLED screens, which disgusted them. This time, if they don’t make back their capital with profits, she won’t be called Zhao Min.
"There are only three roads before Samsung now. Either its own smart assistant Bixby will break through and successfully enter the first echelon of artificial intelligence. Either bow to us and obtain Xiaodie's authorization, or it will be destroyed. Samsung's mobile phone business will also be the same as before. Sony and Nokia’s fallback.”
"Then can I stand in front of them very coquettishly, then look down at them, put my hands on my hips and say: Either surrender or be destroyed." Chen Mo said in a wicked way.
Zhao Min made up the picture in his mind and smiled: "Okay, but you will definitely deserve a beating with that look."
Not long after, Zhao Min's face straightened and she looked at Chen Mo.
"What is your attitude towards Samsung?"
"Me? Last time, I didn't like the mobile phone screen issue. Now things have changed. Samsung's affairs will be left to you. You are the president, and the company's affairs will be handled by you. No matter what you do, I support it. You." Chen Mo said.
After getting Chen Mo's answer, Zhao Min also left his office. Knowing Chen Mo's attitude, she can handle the next matter with confidence.
As soon as Zhao Min left, Chen Mo also stood up from his seat and entered the laboratory.
In the laboratory, there is a huge screen, with dense lines on it showing a sophisticated instrument design.
The holographic technology has all been entered into the database, and now it’s time for practice. This instrument is a medium-sized holographic projector designed by Chen Mo based on holographic technology.
Even with the help of Mo Nu, the design speed is very fast, but it is still only a semi-finished product, existing only on the computer drawings.
The Science and Technology Library's completion condition for holographic technology this time is to design three holographic projectors, namely a micro holographic projector, a medium holographic projector and a large holographic projector.
The requirement for a micro holographic projector is less than six inches, and the density of components is very high. Large holographic projectors have very high requirements in terms of color blur and field of view, so the design plan must be carefully determined, so he chose to start with the relatively simple medium-sized projector.
Although failure can arouse a person's competitive spirit, too many failures may also devastate a person. So Chen Mo decided to start with the simplest thing first, at least he wouldn't have to fail too many times.
"Mo Girl, continue working now." Chen Mo put on his experimental robe and walked to the big screen and said.
"OK."
After Chen Mo focused his attention on the screen, it didn't take long for him to become immersed in it.
