Chapter 664 Smart Devices
The Legend of Rebirth of the Post-80s, Volume 1, Chapter 562, Smart Device? Zhou Shi was dissatisfied with Sean Parker and the others. Not only were they responded to every bit of the time, but too many people responded. It was also because of this high-level meeting of Time Holdings that they were not present. Zhou Shi had a core plan related to Time Music and wanted to explain it at this meeting. There is no way, if you don’t commit suicide, you won’t die. You can ignore the boss’s call. What are their concerns in the company?
"Let me talk about my vision for the future!" Zhou Shi came to the rostrum this time, and it was obvious that he was the host of the show, and everyone in the audience sat upright.
"I want to use Android system and artificial intelligence to jointly create a future smart home lifestyle through the Internet. Everyone knows that our artificial intelligence voice assistant fe1ix can do a lot of things on mobile phones. So can we port fe1ix to a smart speaker product? We should easily talk to this speaker directly, let it help us play music, check the weather, etc., and do you want this speaker to help us turn off the lights, open the door, turn on the TV, and computers? This may be just a problem of a switch, a receiver plus an IFI." Zhou Shi
"We have also thought about this question. With the advancement of technology, in theory, we can control all products through fe1ix, but this requires a significant transformation of existing products. We are just an Internet company, and it is difficult to do these." Zhou Jingren
"I never thought of doing all this with time. We also have partners, two smart hardware companies, Guokr and Nut, and the chip company of Spreadtrum Communications."
"But there is still no cooperation from home appliance companies?" Zhou Jingren
"All we have to do is control, use voice and artificial intelligence to control capabilities. If necessary, we will make some products to demonstrate and leave other things to others. That is not what we should worry about." Zhou Shi
"Yes, American smart home products have begun in the last century, and many products have matured. There are enough interested people participating in this market."
"It's better to say that what I want to do is smart home, it's better to say that it's smart devices. In my vision, each product will be assigned an IP address, which can be connected to the Internet or connected to a whole through infrared, Bluetooth and other devices. We can control it through mobile phones or voice. Of course, there are smart wearable devices, and if you want to be qualified," Zhou Shi said.
"Let all devices be connected to the Internet?" Zhang Yaqin
"That's right! Connect through wireless IFI." Zhou Shi, as for why it's not IMAX, sorry, Intel has announced the disbandment of their IMAX department. The industry chain is over, and it's boring to say that everything else is not interesting.
"What is the meaning of doing this?" Wu Enda
"Who knows? Maybe it's to change our lives, maybe it's to make some meaningless attempts, just like a smartphone. Now there are people who say that this thing is not practical and needs to be charged almost every day. Controlling all household appliances and equipment through smartphones or voice is what I think of now. I want to make my dreams become reality." Zhou Shi
"Do you have to do it now?" Pichai asked suddenly.
"This is just a direction. Our cloud computing has not yet been developed, artificial intelligence technology is not mature enough, and Android systems have not been widely used. My vision is the next plan after success in these three directions." Zhou Shi
"Our current artificial intelligence, including speech recognition technology, does not meet the requirements of simon!" Zhou Jingren
"But I thought about it for a long time. There are several key things in my plan. One is the popularity of IFI. Without sufficient network environment, these plans are difficult to implement. The other is the voice control device. I want to use a smart speaker device to play this role." Zhou Shi
"Installing fe1ix on a smart speaker?" Lei Jun
"That's right! That's it, can it be achieved technically?" Zhou Shi
"The technology is not difficult, but it is difficult to do it well." Zhou Jingren
"I can acquire a special audio company for this." Zhou Shi
"Do we want to produce hardware equipment?" Lei Jun
"If you think it's not suitable, you can cooperate with fruit shells or nuts." Zhou Shi
"It's not a bad idea to produce hardware, which can deepen our influence in the field of technology. After all, many of our things are difficult to understand. Creating a tangible product can allow consumers to have more understanding of us."
"If you are interested, we can set up an e-commerce platform called Future Store, design various interesting products for the future, and then adopt a crowdfunding model. When the product order reaches a certain quantity, we will produce it. A large number of recognized products may be mass-produced. As for profit distribution, I mean that if there is profit, the interests of the opener will be mainly based on the interests of the buyer." Zhou Shi
"I'm afraid many people will design products in this way." Zhang Yaqin
"It is impossible in a short period of time. Our company's hardware talent reserves are insufficient." Pichai
"That's a pity." Zhang Yaqin
"In addition to crowdfunding, we may need to build a technology alliance or API interface with smart speakers, so that fe1ix can be connected to other companies' products, services, and devices. For example, let's bind fe1ix to Twitter and use it to tweet. As for Time Music, let alone, it must be in-depth binding. In the future, fe1ix can also help us buy things, charge phone bills, pay electricity bills, or control smart devices produced by others." Zhou Shi scattered his mind
"It seems that this voice assistant is of great importance." Wu Enda
"Of course, this is our core. In fact, I don't just want it to do these things, but I also want her to become a virtual entertainment idol." Zhou Shi
"Simon's idea is always so surprising!" Lei Jun
"I heard that before iPhone came out, when Baidu acquired Tieba, Simon had imagined a smartphone?" Zhang Yaqin
"Did you know this?" Zhou Shi was a little surprised, as if he had never said it to the public before.
"Robin said this, and he regretted not supporting Android system opening at the beginning." Zhang Yaqin
"simon, did you leave Baidu because Robin didn't support you?" Lei Jun
"I don't know this either. I will definitely not have the money to stay in Baidu to display Android system and Guoke mobile phone at the same time." Zhou Shi thought for a while and said
"How did you show it? I still can't figure it out." Zhang Yaqin
"You can ask Lei Jun this question in the future. We won't discuss it here. Do you think you should make smart speakers?" Zhou Shi, Xinghe Capital and Four Symbol Fund, didn't want to make a big deal. His experience was really a blow to people.
"I think it can be done, it's not difficult." Lei Jun
"I agree!" Pichai
Zhou Shi was basically relieved when he heard this, and the project of smart speakers has been decided.
