As Ning Wei thought, John Blake was not having a good life at this time, and the ups and downs of life came so quickly that there was no time to react, and a tide called tragedy rushed towards him.

John Blake even clearly remembered that just an hour ago, when he was about to take part in the press conference, the amiable IBM chairman raised his left hand and patted his shoulder to encourage him to perhaps become one of IBM's youngest board members today; an hour later, in the same place, facing the same people, he was being questioned.

What's even more terrifying is that he has no idea what went wrong. It was obvious that everything was normal during the test, let alone the opinions of the entire team. But now everyone around him.

Human feelings are so realistic.

When he walked into the company in the morning, everyone smiled with a friendly smile when they saw him. The girl at the front desk even had a hint of familiar enthusiasm in his eyes. However, in just an hour, he seemed to have become the object of dislike for everyone. Not only did he lose his smile, but no one around him...

"John, what's going on? I need an explanation, and all shareholders and even the whole world need an explanation! What's going on?!"

When asked the second time, the old man roared almost word by word. It was just that the volume could be lowered, but this suppressed anger was actually more powerful, enough to show how angry the chairman was at this time.

But John Blake actually didn't feel that he was wronged. He could even understand the anger of the old man in front of him. After all, IBM invited many big names to witness the launch of the Watson system this time, and it was broadcast directly to the world live. It is no exaggeration to say that IBM's century-old reputation may become a joke because of this press conference. Of course, face is not that important, but IBM will definitely lose more insides.

Big people are willing to appreciate their faces, and naturally involves great exchange of interests. God knows that if the Watson artificial intelligence system can show even half of March, it can allow IBM to have more additional resources and funds in the near future.

As for John Brock, who knows that he will participate in the next seven cooperation plans that will be carried out around the Watson system, will bring huge benefits to IBM. This is also one of the reasons why the old man in front of him invited him to join IBM's board of directors before the press conference. These cooperation projects with other units need to allow John Brock to have another higher status to consider IBM.

Now these cooperations have obviously failed.

This is how human nature is. When you don’t have it, you won’t have any extravagant desires for something. But once you have it or are about to have it, your fantasy is suddenly extinguished, which often makes people even more angry.

Not to mention after this press conference, IBM's shareholders are likely to face the black swan event where the company's stock price has been severely slumped. One by one, even if the old man in front of him is blown up by anger, John Blake can understand.

But what he couldn't understand was what happened and why it was like this?!

So he couldn't answer the old man's question at all. He also needed an explanation, and he knew who should ask for this explanation, but unfortunately he was not even qualified to stand in front of that man and ask for an explanation. Or he could call out Watson's program and ask what was going on, but at this time John Blake did not think that it was a good choice to face the angry old man's mention of Watson...

So in the end he could only murmur helplessly: "I don't know, Mr. Fred, I really don't know why it turned out like this. The previous test results were not like this. I can retrieve all the data, it's really not like this."

"This is not a reason, John, this is not a reason! This is not even a qualified excuse! You are an academician of IBM. You have been in charge of Watson over the years, but now this happens, you tell me that you don't know anything? Do you know what this means to IBM? Really, embarrassment is not the most important thing, and what's more terrifying is that because of your irresponsibility, we will face tens of billions of direct losses and corresponding indirect losses that are unpredictable at all."

Speaking of this, the old man looked at John Blake with a serious face and said in a heavier voice: "John, do you know what the losses of tens of billions represent? I am not threatening you, John, I just want to tell you that this is a terrible thing. You will never know what those well-dressed nobles can do for money, especially when they have no way to vent their anger."

Then the old man said in a loud voice: "Some of the blame is not so easy to bear!"

Hearing this, John Blake suddenly became nervous.

He was swept away by IBM and was the worst result he thought of. In fact, this did not make him feel much worried about the future. It was confidence in his ability. His position and knowledge determined it. It was not the kind of guy who was useless if he left the platform.

As long as he is given enough time, John Blake believes that he will definitely find the problem. His knowledge reserves and experience also determine that even if he is not in the R&D position, it is not a problem to seek a professorship in a university, not to mention that the salary he has received at IBM in recent years is not low. If he saves some money, it will be enough for the second half of his life. But these are all based on his successful escape from IBM.

But the old man in front of him seemed to have good intentions, but was full of threats, made him feel confused about the future. He suddenly realized that he really couldn't bear the blame, and he didn't dare to bear it...

"Mr. Fred, I hope you can trust my professionalism. I really don't know where this matter is wrong today. But please give me some time and I will definitely find out what the problem is. Maybe this is an inappropriate analogy, but Watson is like my child, and I hope he can get better than anyone else..."

"But you don't know your child, John. I will give it to you..." The old man was about to say something, but the conversation between the two was interrupted by the assistant who suddenly appeared. The old man's secretary was holding his cell phone and signaling him anxiously.

The old man was a little confused. Although he was in a troublesome situation, the CEO should not find him as the chairman. But he could feel that this phone call was important through the secretary's expression. So he quickly made a decision, let John Blake go first and walked to the secretary.

"Whose phone number?" the old man asked.

"Professor Ning, Huaxia." The secretary replied with a little nervousness.

"Professor Ning?" the old man was stunned.

He had no friendship with Ning Wei, nor did he speak directly. He couldn't figure out why Ning Wei called the phone to his cell phone at this time. However, the phone had already arrived and he didn't have time to think about it. After a moment of pondering, he took the phone.

"Hello, Professor Ning."

"Hello, Mr. Fred, sorry, this call is a bit presumptuous. But I just want to explain it to John, hoping you can understand."

"Well..." The old man couldn't help but glance at John Blake who was still standing there stupidly. The call seemed to be too accurate, which surprised him.

"It's actually very simple. He really doesn't know where the problem is. In fact, no one in this world may know where the problem is. But I have made the reason public. The relevant papers have been published on the official website of March journals. I believe that with John Blake's ability, he can understand my paper and then explain it to you. Of course, when you hear me say this, you may be worried about how I know what you are chatting with."

Speaking of this, the young voice across the street paused, and then explained: "Actually, I didn't think about monitoring you. Of course, I don't have the ability, but it just so happens that because of the reason I mentioned in the paper, the Watson system and our March system work under the same general framework. It just so happens that Mr. John Brock runs the Watson program in his mobile phone, which is equivalent to an extension of the artificial intelligence subject."

"As Watson's designer, John Blake naturally trusts the programs he designed, and artificial intelligence programs have to give it extremely high authority to play its role, so Watson can call the microphone and camera of your phone at will. This also means that Watson can hear your chat content, and it also means that Watson can tell March what you are talking about. Just now, I just mentioned John Blake and asked him how he is doing now. Well, I said so much, can you understand?"

The old man subconsciously swallowed his saliva. Of course he could understand it, but he could not understand it at all. If according to Ning Wei, as long as there is Watson, there is no secret for him, this is no longer a problem of losing money for IBM. Basically, the lifeblood has been handed over.

The bulk cooperation agreement was not finalized today. In fact, before this, Watson had conducted multiple tests among many competitors to demonstrate Watson's performance and had already won many orders with the help of many big bosses.

Now the problem is, if you have entered Watson, there will be no secret for the person opposite... The old man dared not think more.

"Okay, it's not a question you can understand now. This call is mainly to help John Blake explain the reason. He is still young, so don't put too much pressure on him. Moreover, our Ningban just doesn't have a professor like John who has rich theoretical skills and rich practical experience to take those children to work as soon as possible. So please help us pull the bridge. In this way, after he comes, I will call on Ningban's future children to go to IBM more. What do you think?"

The old man suddenly realized that the education he received over the years did not help him, so that he didn't even know how to answer Ning Wei's words now.

Things shouldn't have developed like this, but they have developed like this.

There is also the paper published in March Magazine. How will it be interpreted here?

If it is not conducive to IBM, let alone whether they want students from Ning Class, it is unknown whether they can still have IBM in the future.

There must be someone who takes the blame for this matter. If John Blake doesn't take the blame, who will take the blame? Who can take the blame?

But when he thought of the Peace, the reputation of Ning Wei has always been, and when he thought of what he had just talked with John Blake, it was like what he said in Ning Wei's ear. When he said this, the old man swallowed it back again. When he spoke again, he had already returned the words: "Of course, I will tell John this good news. I believe he will be very happy to hear this news."

"That's good, the cooperation is pleasant, Mr. Fred, you are a person with a pattern. The last time I came into contact with a person with such a big pattern among Westerners was Tim Cook. Unfortunately, he has been retired for many years."

"Yes, I'm very happy to be able to call you, Professor Ning Wei."

"So, goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

...

After hanging up the phone, the old man stood there for a while, then handed the phone to his secretary. Then he walked back to John Blake.

John Blake looked at the old man nervously.

When the old man answered the phone, he was about ten meters away from him. Such a long distance made him unable to hear what he was talking about. But from the expression when the old man looked at him from time to time just now, John Blake was sure that the time for him to decide his fate was coming, which made him feel nervous.

"John..."

"Yes, Mr. Fred, I'm listening."

"Don't be so nervous..." The old man said very slowly, carefully thinking about how to speak: "This is the situation. Ning Wei called the phone just now. He told me not to blame you... Regarding the reason for the abnormality of the Watson system, he said that he had published a paper, which had been published on the official website of the March journal. Maybe you can check it out now and then tell me the reason."

"Ning Wei? March issue official website?" John Blake murmured, then quickly took out his cell phone from his pocket and started to operate. This action also made the old man's expression slightly stiff, but soon returned to normal.

"I found it, found it, it should be this article. Wait, I'll take a look at the summary first, and I should know... This... this is impossible!?"

"John, what is impossible?"

"This...is Mr. Fred. According to the conclusion drawn by this paper, artificial intelligence has the characteristics of uniqueness and exclusivity. In other words, any development of artificial intelligence technology will ultimately end up with the same goal. The same civilization cannot have two disagreeable artificial intelligence, unless the two live on different networks forever to eliminate contact and do not do any data exchange..."

"Only and exclusive?"

"Yes, Mr. Fred."

"Do you think this argument is credible?"

"I don't know, this is the conclusion drawn in the review. It depends on the argumentation process of the paper... Maybe it is correct, maybe it is wrong. It depends on whether the scientific community can find the error in the paper, or directly prove that this paper is..."

Speaking of this, John Blake couldn't continue.

Now it seems that there are ready-made facts that this paper is most likely correct...

At this time, the old man did not care about John Blake's explanation. He knew very well that Ning Wei's call did not completely pay much attention to the young man who had already made up his mind. He was probably still demonstrating more...
