Black tech predators

Chapter 14
Scream Technology, the first commercial robot exoskeleton research and development company in China, is also located in Shangdu, and it will take a short drive to Tianqing Technology.

Scream Technology was established in 2015, focusing on the development of artificial intelligence robot exoskeleton auxiliary systems, including hardware and cloud platforms.

The company's products have two major advantages: high speed and low cost.

In just a few months, the first-generation prototype was delivered, and its research and development maintained the speed of iterating one prototype per month.

In terms of cost, Scream Technology adopts a co-creation method, which is jointly developed by the core and peripheral teams, and adopts a leapfrog technology iteration method. Compared with the hundreds of millions of overseas development costs, or tens of millions of development funds with domestic institutions In terms of cost control is very good.

Scream Technology has completed the Pre-A round of financing of 3000 million yuan and the A round of financing of 7500 million yuan, but the company currently has only 29 core members.

There are not as many people as Tianqing Technology.

This company is too good at saving money. It positions itself as an open source architecture platform, where codes are written separately and intellectual property is shared.

Therefore, they will recruit many professionals in the same field, and outsource some non-critical, non-intellectual property-threatening businesses to partners. Among these partners, there are college students, enthusiasts, and related practitioners. Also saved.

"Boss, we have noticed that a new peer company Tianqing Technology has suddenly appeared in the industry. The exoskeleton products they displayed... are very shocking. Can you imagine the appearance of the exoskeleton in Cod in the real world? They announced The video of is now showing a trend of fire in the industry."

The person in charge of the marketing department came to COE Li Xiang's office. The latter was astonished when he heard that Cod is Call of Duty. He had naturally come into contact with this game, and he couldn't help being shocked: "What did you say? The exoskeleton in Cod appeared in reality. world?"

……

"Reminder ahead, this is an advertising video, but it's too bad."

"High energy ahead, high energy throughout."

"Looking at the title, I guess it's an exoskeleton; watching the video, I guess I'm right."

"Little brother is so handsome~~"

"Little brother has contracted it!"

"Fuck, this mechanical glove is awesome."

"Which company's product? Is this a military exoskeleton, or a civilian one?"

"Can you still punch?"

"Damn, isn't this flexibility too perverted? I don't think Tyson can take a punch from me with this exoskeleton."

"Can you still play like this?"

"Warning ahead, high-energy warning!"

"I'm so stupid, Cod??? This nima is at least six or seven meters high when he jumps."

……

Under the operation of Tianqing Technology's team, this wave of Internet marketing has been successful, and the cost is not very high, just over 100 million, but the resulting popularity of 1000 million advertising funds may not be able to achieve it. .

It doesn’t make sense if it’s not popular. No matter from which point of view, exoskeleton products are “cool”, whether it’s about the dream of becoming stronger or about the desire to regain health.

In just two days, the playback volume of videos posted on major video sites has increased rapidly.

The video of Station B has already ranked 10th in the TOP7 video list of the "Xinghai" section, and has reached 15.2 views, 3256 bullet screens, 1.2 likes, 6229 coins, and 1645 favorites , 789 comments, and growing rapidly.

This is just a video site.

As related videos continue to become popular on the Internet, mechanical enthusiasts and sci-fi enthusiasts began to discuss this topic hotly on forums such as Cod Game Post Bar.

"The flexibility is so abnormal, but I don't know the power problem. If I break through both of these two, I will be invincible directly."

"Is there any material?"

"Running is impossible. It is impossible to run in this life. I can't afford an exoskeleton, and I don't know how to do it. I can only rely on chatting with young ladies, paralyzed on the bed to save energy and surf the Internet. When I go to the post bar, the old brothers and sisters in it are all talents, and there are many stories. All day long, they can talk about everything, and they can pretend to be cute girls. I like it very much. .”

"Then a division was wiped out by an EMP regiment [manual funny]"

"As long as the equipment has anti-EMP protection, there is nothing you can do."

"Does anyone know if the future exoskeleton can be connected to the Internet? Can you help me with my homework?"

"After reading so many comments, I admire you."

"With such a strong jumping ability, if you climb the girls' dormitory wearing an exoskeleton, wouldn't it mean..."

"A bold idea."

"Hacking, give the exoskeleton a big split command... KO..."

"In the future, I can run as fast as a car! Then I will ask the driver: Do you buy insurance?"

"Mad was laughed at by your sand sculpture comments, Cod is indeed full of talents."

……

Screaming tech headquarters.

CEO Li Xiang called several core management of the company including CTO Li Muran for an impromptu meeting.

"Judging from the maneuver analysis of the exoskeleton in the video, Tianqing Technology's auxiliary system has completely blown us away. I don't know if you have noticed the details of the video. When the exoskeleton wearer walks, there is almost no sense of stiffness, which is very Free." Li Muran, the company's chief technology officer, said in a deep voice.

The person in charge of the market research department said: "Tianqing Technology Co., Ltd. was registered a week ago, and its founder is the exoskeleton wearer in the video, Gu Cheng."

Everyone couldn't help being shocked.

"This... I said, why did such a peer company pop up suddenly? It was originally incorporated a week ago, but how could it have such an advanced product? Could it be that it has obtained angel round financing from any VC?"

"But why is there no news in the industry?"

"Maybe there is no financing if there is no news?"

"Also, what is Gu Cheng's background? I've never heard of such a big tech guy in the industry."

Everyone said something to each other, and the person in charge of the marketing department continued: "As for the founder of Tianqing Technology, Gu Cheng, I deliberately checked his resume. This is his second start-up."

Li Xiang asked curiously: "That is to say, he failed in his first venture?"

The person in charge of the marketing department replied: "It depends on the situation. If it is a failure from his personal point of view, it should not be considered a failure from the point of view of his start-up company. Gu Chengcheng is the founder of Shitong Voice Technology Company. .”

"Huh?" Li Xiang was taken aback, his expression quite surprised: "WorldCom Technology? The WorldCom listed in Hong Kong?"

"Yes, the current market value is 178 billion Hong Kong dollars. As the founder, Gu Cheng was kicked out by the board of directors because he lost the gambling agreement."
