Chapter 939: Preparing for the establishment of an artificial intelligence laboratory

On the way back by car, Pei Qian was devastated.

Although I was ready to make money from the distribution of broadcast rights of the ICL League, I never expected to make so much money!

The money that was originally spent ran back with long legs on his own, and he also brought interest, who can withstand this!

Pei Qian thought about where the money was going to go.

At present, there is still a long time before the settlement, and it will not be too difficult to spend, but in order to prevent the same money from running back with long legs, you still have to think about it.

Pei Qian's first thought was to spend the money on the rabbit tail live broadcast in line with the principle of "who makes money, who spends it".

But on second thought, it doesn't seem to work.

Because the place where the live broadcast platform can spend money is actually very limited, recruiting more technical personnel and developing more functions, these actually don't cost much.

Tens of millions of dollars were earned, and if only a few million were spent, it would be a drop in the bucket, and it would not quench your thirst at all.

The place where you can really spend a lot of money is nothing more than buying copyrights, poaching big anchors and the like.

But spending money like this means that the popularity and attention of Rabbittail Live will rise again, and the risk is too great!

From the launch of Rabbittail Live to the present, it can be said that it has been inexplicably smooth, the two leagues of ICL League and GPL League are in hand, and after other live broadcast platforms have given some gift packages, the attention and popularity of Rabbittail Live are not lacking, and the content on the platform is not less.

In this case, spend tens of millions more to buy broadcast rights and poach big anchors?

I'm afraid it's going to cause a chain reaction.

Therefore, Pei Qian thought about it again and again, and felt that this money still couldn't be spent on the rabbit tail live broadcast, and the risk was too great.

Rabbit tail live broadcast is currently a critically ill patient, you have to observe, you must not take strong medicine, you have to slowly recuperate.

So, where is the safest place to spend this money?

Pei Qian thought about it and suddenly thought of a good place to go.

Spend on OTTO Technology!

More precisely, it is spent on the laboratory of OTTO Technology to let them study the direction of artificial intelligence.

Although OTTO Technology has AEEIS, it is profitable to research artificial intelligence technology, but after all, in the last cycle, artificial intelligence technology should have been regarded as a technological breakthrough!

It's been less than two months since the last settlement, so it's not appropriate for you to break through again, right?

Moreover, the last technological breakthrough was determined by the system, and the system must not fool people.

You can't fall twice in the same place, can you?

In this way, spending a lot of money to build a laboratory for artificial intelligence technology will produce some small results, make AEEIS more useful, and even trigger some small-scale chain reactions......

But as long as there are no further breakthroughs or leaps in AI technology, there will be no big return on these research funds.

In other words, if there are some returns, most of them will not be in this cycle.

The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more he felt that it was very suitable, and said to Xiao Li: "Let's go to OTTO Technology first." ”

……

Half an hour later, Pei Qian came to the conference room of OTTO Technology and told Jiang Yuan, the new head of OTTO Technology, about his thoughts.

Jiang Yuan's expression was sluggish, and he didn't react for a while.

"Mr. Pei, do you mean to invest 40 million to build another artificial intelligence laboratory for OTTO Technology? Go directly to a ready-made team with a high salary to conduct research on artificial intelligence technology? Or acquire some ready-made companies? ”

Pei Qian nodded: "That's right." ”

Jiang Yuan hurriedly said: "Mr. Pei, think twice!" ”

"At present, the best domestic artificial intelligence technology is Xunke Technology, including AEEIS is also used in Xunke Technology. People have been deeply engaged in related fields for many years, and the application of artificial intelligence technology can be said to be the result of accumulation. ”

"Even if we spend a huge amount of money to establish an artificial intelligence laboratory and dig up a ready-made technical team, it is nothing more than research and development on the existing basis, and it is unlikely that there will be any technological breakthroughs, at most it will make some optimizations to the current situation of AEEIS."

"In this case, it is almost impossible to recover such a huge amount of R&D investment. The same amount of money will actually be much better if spent elsewhere. ”

"The point is that it's not cost-effective, and it's not necessary!"

Pei Qian couldn't help but smile.

Not cost-effective? Very unnecessary?

That's right, let's think of a piece!

Pei Qian could actually say nothing and directly arrange for Jiang Yuan to do it, but after all, Jiang Yuan had just taken over Chang You's class, and he hadn't been in charge for a long time, so he was afraid that he would not be able to do anything, so he still had to give a few more words of advice to strengthen his belief.

Pei Qian said meaningfully: "This is a bad word! ”

"Although we are using the technology of ICT technology well, this kind of core technology is not beautiful after all."

"Look at our company name, OTTO Technology, don't you do independent research and development?"

"In the short term, it may not be that the benefits will be large, but in the long run, it is absolutely essential to set up a laboratory and do independent research and development."

"Our goal is to develop all core technologies independently and never be controlled by others!"

"What's more, artificial intelligence technology is the future, and it is related to many industries in Tengda, and no matter how much money is invested in this direction, it is not too much!"

"In the future, you should also keep this in mind in your work, marketing is all virtual, and the core technology is real, understand?"

This impassioned speech made Jiang Yuan's blood boil when he heard it.

"Understood, Mr. Pei!"

"It's true that I'm short-sighted."

"Then I'll arrange it immediately, if I can dig the research group, I can dig the research group, I can directly invest or buy the research team, in short, the specific situation has to be investigated."

Pei Qian nodded: "Well, just let it go!" ”

……

After all the things on both sides were dealt with, Pei Qian came to the Touching Fish Internet Cafe, intending to have a cup of coffee and take a little rest.

During this time, the matter of the rabbit tail live broadcast made Pei Qian feel a little tired, and now it has finally come to an end.

The broadcast rights of the ICL league have been distributed, although Longyu Group will continue to spend a lot of money to promote the ICL league in the future, but after all, it is not an exclusive broadcast, the popularity will be divided by other live broadcast platforms, and the rabbit tail live broadcast should be safe in the short term.

It's almost time to see how the rest of the industry fars.

……

At the same time, the vice presidents of various live broadcast platforms have also returned to their respective companies and started to prepare for the broadcast of the ICL League.

As early as when the contract was negotiated, these vice presidents had already greeted their technical team, and they had been seizing the time to prepare the live broadcast room of the ICL league and various promotional materials in the past two days.

Tomorrow is Thursday, and there is a hot focus battle in the evening, and these live broadcast platforms all require their teams to work overtime to arrange all the preparatory activities for the live broadcast before tomorrow night.

After all, Friday's game is not very good, and if the heat of this game is missed, the next focus game will have to wait until Saturday, and a lot of heat will be missed in vain.

At the same time, Longyu Group is also arranging for the team to connect with various live broadcast platforms, and the two sides seize all the time to copy the function of the rabbit tail live broadcast: real-time data display during the competition.

These data were originally available in the background, but they needed to be retrieved in real time and then displayed in the form of certain charts.

But it's not in a hurry, after all, this season has just started for a short time, a week earlier or a week later, the impact will not be great.

Zhao Xuming also didn't expect this feature to bring much heat to the ICL league, it was just a defensive means.

If the GPL has it and the ICL doesn't, others will think that the ICL league is not professional enough, so even if it will be sprayed and plagiarized, this feature must be done.

The only minor problem is that there are actually slight differences in the timing of live streaming from one live streaming platform to another, which greatly slows down the development schedule.

Rabbittail Live is the fastest, 30 seconds faster than other live streaming platforms, while other platforms may also have a few seconds of delay when broadcasting the game due to network latency, lag and other problems.

However, this data is difficult to change with the progress of each platform, because the ICL league official to each live broadcast platform is actually only a live broadcast signal, and the in-game data is in its own background, and it is difficult to perfectly match the time on both sides to transmit these data to each platform, which is more troublesome to do.

For example, if a player just gets an adult head, the economy skyrockets by 1,000 yuan, but the real-time data has not been updated, it will look very stiff.

There is no need to think about this problem at all, because only Rabbit Tail Live has this function, and there is no need to consider other platforms at all, just take Rabbit Tail Live as the standard.

But Zhao Xuming wants to do this function for all platforms that broadcast ICL leagues, which is more troublesome.

Zhao Xuming thought about it, but in fact, there are only two solutions: either ignore the time difference between the platforms and forcibly give a compromise time; Either spend a lot more effort to make this data follow the current live broadcast screen of each platform.

After discussing with the technical team, Zhao Xuming felt that he still had to do the latter.

Because there is a 30-second difference between the rabbit tail live broadcast and other platforms, if you force a compromise, 15 seconds is enough to complete a wave of faster team battles, and the equipment and economic data are likely to change in a timely manner, but it seems that this function is very amateurish.

Therefore, the only way to choose the second option is to spend more effort to develop this function, so that the data is consistent with the current live broadcast of each platform.

In this way, the development time will be slowed down, but Zhao Xuming thought about it and thought it was worth it.

After settling down with these jobs, Zhao Xuming also breathed a sigh of relief.

After so many twists and turns, the ICL league is finally on the right track this time!

Various live broadcast platforms have been broadcast, and the popularity of the league is also steadily increasing, as long as the next can be smoothly promoted, accumulate audiences, accumulate popularity, and will definitely play a good role in promoting the IOI national service in the future!

When IOI's mobile game is launched in the future, it can sound the clarion call for a full-scale counteroffensive!
