Opening the personal panel, Zhang Shuo noticed the new changes.

The system classifies the companies in detail. The purpose of this is to facilitate the preparation of the balance sheet and show the assets and liabilities of the Germination Group more clearly.

Because foreign investment is included in the asset item.

In the past February, in addition to investing 2 billion yuan to subscribe for a 20% stake in China Microelectronics, the Sprout Group also injected 1 billion yuan into the Particle Fund for investment in the semiconductor industry.

The one-year 2 million corporate bonds issued last year have also expired, and the payment was completed on schedule.

In terms of income, there is only one billion profits handed in by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.

Counting this month's appropriation, the Germination Group's book liquidity has plummeted by 38.4 billion, shrinking from over 70 billion to [-] billion in one fell swoop.

"Money can't help but spend it."

Fortunately, this is already the penultimate Nokia progress payment. After the final payment is made next month, the pressure on the budding cash flow will be reduced a lot.

But only lighten.

As long as the budding expansion continues, there will always be a shortage of funds.

Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is not a money printing machine.

Not to mention, it was decided last month that in order to meet the office needs in other places, Sprout Real Estate has inspected Grade A office buildings in Shanghai, Jiangxia, and Rongcheng, and it will be a big expense by then.

Even if you can mortgage [-]% of the loan, you need to pay [-]% of the down payment.

There are already quite a few.

Before that, Zhang Shuo was still thinking about whether to use a sum of money to set up a college student entrepreneurship support fund to encourage college students to start their own businesses. Now it seems that this matter may have to wait a little later.

The capital chain cannot be collapsed too close.

At the end of last year, Zhang Shuo had already tasted the tight capital chain, but he didn't want to taste it anymore.

It's better to have more money in your pocket.

Just thinking about it, Dai Yutong, the secretary, came in to report: "Boss, Professor Wu is here."

"Come in!"

Zhang Shuo got up quickly and went to meet him at the door.

Professor Wu didn't come alone, there were two people with him, one was Professor Tang Ou whom he had contacted before, and the other was Lu Qingyun, the CEO of Wali Zhizao.

I don't know how they all came together.

"Professor Tang, I've admired you for a long time!"

Zhang Shuo smiled and shook hands with Tang Ou. Wu Sheyuan's contact was frustrated before, but Professor Wu's face helped.

"Old Tang still has concerns about whether to join the Fertile Soil Research Institute. I'm taking him on a field trip today to try to dispel his concerns." Professor Wu chimed in.

"It's not an investigation."

Tang Ou quickly denied, "I just admire Professor Tan Yunsong, and I want to share my experience with Professor Tan."

Still has the meaning of disregarding the relationship.

They are all engaged in artificial intelligence research. Although Tang Ou is well-known in Xiangjiang, Tan Yunsong is a super boss who enjoys a high reputation all over the world and has a lot of admirers.

"This is easy to handle." Zhang Shuo didn't break through Tang Ou's little thought, and said with a smile: "Professor Tan is in the Fertile Soil Research Institute. Let's go directly there later and let Professor Tan come to receive him. How about it?"

"That's great!" Tang Ou was very excited.

Chapter 304 Germination adds generals, Wally Smart Manufacturing refinances, Zhang Shuo shows favor to Tengda!

"how do you feel?"

In the lounge of the Fertile Soil Research Institute, Professor Wu acted as a broker again and asked Professor Tang Ou with a smile.

"It's a bit unexpected."

Tang Ou did not hide his shock, "Before I came here, it was hard for me to imagine that a domestic company would have such an ambition in the research and development of cutting-edge technology, and it would be put into practice."

"Sprout is indeed an outlier."

Professor Wu also laughed, "But you can't deny that Germination has the ability to realize its ambitions."

"Yes."

Tang Ou didn't refute either, Zhang Shuo's richest man's name is there.

"Well, how about it, do you want to join?"

Professor Wu continued to lobby, "Zhang Shuo has already agreed that he can build the laboratory in Xiangjiang, and he will not interfere with the daily scientific research work of the laboratory. It is just a waste of money."

"I don't seem to have any reason to refuse again?" Tang Ou also took the opportunity to get off the donkey.

"Ha ha!!!"

Professor Wu was also very happy, "Let's go, Zhang Shuo has already arranged a meal."

.........

Zhang Shuo's so-called dinner was arranged in the small cafeteria of the Fertile Soil Research Institute.

Because Professor Tan Yunsong doesn't like socializing outside.

Fortunately, Professor Wu and Professor Tan are also engaged in research, and they don't pay too much attention to what to eat. The most discussed topics at the dinner table are related to artificial intelligence.

Today it is today.

Artificial intelligence is no longer a general concept, but includes many research directions.

The more popular ones are-

1. Natural language generation

Artificial intelligence uses computer data to generate text, which can be used in customer service, report generation, and business intelligence information summary.

2. Speech recognition

AI dictates human speech and converts it into a form useful for computer applications, such as interactive voice response systems and mobile applications.

3. Virtual assistants

It's the "current media darling," which ranges from simple chatbots to advanced systems that can network with humans.

Can be used in customer service and support, and smart home management tools.

4. Machine learning platform

Provide algorithms, APIs, development and training toolkits, data, and computing power to design, train, and develop computing models into applications, processes, and machines.

Can be widely used in enterprise applications, most of which include prediction or classification functions.

5. Hardware optimized by artificial intelligence

Specially designed and architected GPUs and applications for running artificial intelligence computing tasks.

Can be used to transform deep learning applications.

6. Decision-making management

An engine that plugs rules and logic into AI systems and can be used for initial setup/training, as well as ongoing maintenance and optimization.

It can be used in many different enterprise applications to assist or automate decision-making.

7. Deep learning platform

A special form of machine learning platform consisting of multiple layers of artificial neural networks can be used for pattern recognition and classification based on large data sets.

8. Biological information

Enabling more natural interactions between humans and machines, including but not limited to image and touch recognition, voice and body language, can be used for market research.

9. Machine processing automation

The automation of human operations using scripting and other methods to support more efficient business processes can be used for certain tasks and processes that are labor-intensive or inefficient.

10. Text Analysis and Natural Language Processing

Artificial intelligence uses statistical and machine learning methods to understand the structure, meaning, emotion, and intent of sentences, which can be used for fraud detection and information security, various automated assistants, and mining of unstructured data.

For example, using artificial intelligence to write press releases.

11. Image recognition

Image recognition refers to the process of recognizing and detecting features in videos or pictures, and its mechanisms are useful for massively processing image searches and detecting license plates, diagnosing diseases, and studying personalities.

The main direction of Professor Tang Ou's team is the face recognition system.

This is only the mainstream direction that can be explored at present. In the future, as artificial intelligence technology continues to mature, its application scope and fields will become wider and wider.

Until it becomes one of the main production tools of social progress.

There are so many research directions in the field of artificial intelligence, and each branch field needs a long time to work. Naturally, it cannot be done by the Wotu Research Institute alone.

This is why Zhang Shuo is so eager to win over Tang Ou's team.

Professors Tan Yunsong and Tang Ou are both masters in the field of artificial intelligence. Professor Wu is also quite involved in the research of artificial intelligence, but Zhang Shuo is a bit of a layman.

But Zhang Shuo is not useless. As a reborn, he has a very intuitive feeling about the development trend of artificial intelligence in the next ten years, such as language assistants, face recognition, online translation and so on.

Therefore, a few words can also be inserted.

Sometimes the proposed application prospects of artificial intelligence even resonate with professors.

Lu Qingyun, the CEO of Wali Zhizao who accompanied him, occasionally added a few words.

The core business of WALL-E is robot research and development, and the core of robots is actually artificial intelligence, including face recognition technology, map navigation technology and other intelligent sensing technologies.

Especially the automatic pathfinding and planning system is the core of the robot.

"As long as a breakthrough is made in automatic road finding, various robots such as sweeping robots, collaborative robots, tracked unmanned vehicles, agv logistics vehicles, and fixed-wing drones will be developed in the future. The prospects are broad."

Speaking of the rising point, Lu Qingyun danced with hands and feet.

"Sweeping robot? This is fine."

Zhang Shuo doesn't know much about other things, but he is looking forward to the next few years, which will gradually change from a rare item to a sweeping robot that is gradually accepted and recognized by thousands of households.

The market prospect is absolutely broad!

"Then what's the matter, Zhang Shuo, are you interested in investing some more money in Walli Intelligence? The early funds of Walli Intelligence are almost exhausted." Professor Wu took the opportunity and said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
