To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 936 Preparing to Build an Artificial Intelligence Laboratory

On the way back by car, Pei Qian was hit hard.

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

The money that was originally spent ran back with long legs, and it also brought interest. Who can stand it!

Pei Qian thought about where the money would be spent.

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 by yourself, you still have to think carefully.

The first thing Pei Qian thought of was to spend the money on the Tuwei live broadcast based on the principle of "whoever makes the money spends it".

But after thinking about it, 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.

If you earn tens of millions, if you only spend a few million, it will be a drop in the bucket, and it will 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 Tuwei live broadcast will rise again, and the risk is too great!

From the launch of Tuwei Live to the present, it can be said that it has been inexplicably smooth. The two leagues, the ICL League and the GPL League, are in control. The content on the website is not too small.

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

I'm afraid it will cause a chain reaction.

Therefore, Pei Qian thought again and again, and felt that the money should not be spent on the live broadcast of Tuwei, the risk was too great.

Tuwei Live is currently a critically ill patient, and needs to be observed, and must not be given strong medicine, and needs to be recuperated slowly.

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 it for OTTO Tech!

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

Although OTTO Technology has AEEIS, it is beneficial to study artificial intelligence technology, but after all, in the last cycle, artificial intelligence technology should have had a technological breakthrough!

It's been less than two months since the last settlement, so it's not appropriate for you to make another breakthrough, right?

Moreover, the last technological breakthrough was appointed by the system, so the system must not deceive people.

One can't fall twice in the same place, right?

In this way, spending a lot of money to build an artificial intelligence technology laboratory 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 technological breakthroughs or leaps in artificial intelligence, these research dollars will not have much return on investment.

In other words, even 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: "Go to OTTO Technology first."

……

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

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

"Mr. Pei, what do you mean, you want to invest 4000 million to build another artificial intelligence laboratory for OTTO Technology? Go directly to high-paying existing teams to conduct research on artificial intelligence technology? Or buy some existing 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, which also uses Xunke Technology. They have been cultivating in related fields for many years, and the application of artificial intelligence technology before can be said to be the result of accumulation. "

"Even if we spend huge sums of money to build an artificial intelligence laboratory and dig out a ready-made technical team, it is nothing more than research and development on the existing basis. It is unlikely that there will be any technological breakthroughs. The most is to optimize the current situation of AEEIS. "

"Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to recover such a massive R&D investment. The same amount of money can actually be spent elsewhere with much better results."

"The key is that the cost performance is not high, and it is very unnecessary!"

Pei Qian couldn't help but chuckle.

Not cost-effective?Very unnecessary?

That's right, let's go together!

In fact, Pei Qian can just arrange Jiang Yuan to do it without saying anything, but after all, Jiang Yuan has just taken Chang You's class, and he has not been in charge for long, so he is afraid that he will not be able to handle things well, so he should give a few more words of advice to strengthen his belief.

Pei Qian said meaningfully: "This statement is wrong!"

"Although we are using Xunke Technology's technology well at present, it is not beautiful to use other people's core technology for this kind of core technology."

"Look at our company name, OTTO Technology, does it make sense if we don't do independent research and development?"

"In the short term, the benefits may not be large, but in the long run, it is absolutely necessary 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 of Tenda. No matter how much money is invested in this direction, it is not too much!"

"In the future, you must keep this in mind in your work. Marketing is all fiction, and core technology is the real deal, understand?"

This impassioned speech made Jiang Yuan's blood boil.

"Understood, Mr. Pei!"

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

"Then I'll make arrangements right away. If I can find a research team, I can find a research team. If I can directly invest or buy a research team, it's also fine. In short, the specific situation needs to be carefully investigated."

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

……

After all the matters on both sides were dealt with, Pei Qian came to Moyu Internet Cafe, intending to have a cup of coffee and take a break.

During this period of time, the live broadcast of Tuwei made Pei Qian feel a little tired, and now it is finally over.

The broadcasting 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, it is not an exclusive broadcast after all. The popularity will be shared by other live broadcast platforms. Tuwei live broadcast should be safe in the short term up.

It's almost time to see how other industries fare.

……

At the same time, the vice presidents of the various live broadcast platforms have also returned to their companies to start preparing for the broadcast of the ICL league.

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

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

After all, the game on Friday was not very good to watch. If the heat of this game was missed, the next focus match would have to wait until Saturday, and a lot of heat would be missed in vain.

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

These data are originally available in the background, but they need to be retrieved in real time, and then displayed in a certain chart form. The specific packaging still needs a little development for a period of time to complete.

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

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

If the GPL has it but the ICL does not, others will think that the ICL league is not professional enough, so even if it will be accused of plagiarism, this function must be done.

The only small problem is that the live broadcast time of various live broadcast platforms is actually slightly different, which greatly slows down the development progress.

The speed of Tuwei live broadcast is the fastest, 30 seconds faster than other live broadcast platforms, and other platforms may also have a few seconds of delay when broadcasting games due to problems such as network delays and freezes.

But this data is difficult to change with the progress of each platform, because the official ICL league broadcasts to each live broadcast platform is actually only a live broadcast signal, and the in-game data is all in the backend of the game, and these data must be transmitted to each other. On the home platform, it is difficult to perfectly align the time on both sides, and it is more troublesome to do.

For example, if a player has just won a big head, and the economy suddenly increases by 1000 yuan, but the real-time data has not been updated, it will appear very stiff.

Tuwei Live does not need to consider this issue at all, because only Tuwei Live has this function, and there is no need to consider other platforms at all, just use Tuwei Live as the standard.

But if Zhao Xuming wants to provide this function to all the platforms that broadcast the ICL league, it will be more troublesome.

Zhao Xuming thought about it, but there are actually two solutions: Either ignore the time difference between the platforms and force a compromise time; or spend a lot of effort to make this data follow the current live broadcast of each platform.

After discussing with the technical team, Zhao Xuming felt that the latter had to be done.

Because there is a 30-second difference between Tuwei Live and other platforms, if a compromise is forced, 15 seconds is enough to finish a wave of relatively fast team battles. The equipment and economic data may not change in time, but it seems that this function is done. Very amateurish.

Therefore, we can only choose the second option and spend more effort to develop this function so that the data is consistent with the current live broadcast images of various platforms.

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

After settling these jobs, Zhao Xuming also let out 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 are broadcasting the broadcast one after another, and the popularity of the league is also steadily increasing. As long as the publicity can be carried out smoothly in the future, the accumulation of viewers and popularity will definitely play a very good role in promoting the ioi national server in the future!

When ioi's mobile game is launched in the future, it will even sound the clarion call for a comprehensive counterattack!
