"The mobile phone business is the core business of the Costa del Azure, but the company's current business is too single and it is actually very unhealthy." Luo Sheng said to everyone attending the meeting that diversification of products and business diversification is imperative.

The smartphone industry is currently in a period of rapid growth, but there will always be a day when the market is saturated. Maintaining high profits on the Costa 11 need new growth points to support the current high treatment of the company.

Li Chunsheng, who attended the meeting, said: "Boss, is the smart tablet targeting Apple's iPad?"

Hearing this, Luo Sheng shook his head and said, "No, we must benchmark against BBK's point reading machine or Amazon's kindle, and at the same time, far surpass them. As for the entertainment and electrical products that iPad mainly specialize in, our smart tablet positioning is an educational auxiliary device, and the positioning group is different. Even if we benchmark with the point reading machine or kindle, it doesn't make much sense. Our competitor is a traditional extracurricular training institution."

The current situation is that parents are almost worried about their children's education, fearing that their children will fall behind others, so they compete to send their children to various tutoring classes and cram schools. The most common and common thing is that English cram schools are coming out in groups. Some parents even start from their children and start learning English in kindergartens, wanting their children to win at the starting line, etc.

This shows how huge this market is.

The target of this kind of educational assistance smart tablet that Luo Sheng wants to develop is not only useful for junior high and high school students, but also for college students to take the postgraduate entrance examination and are of great help.

It does not mean that there is no need for human teachers with an electronic device. The biggest function of a smart tablet is to provide a good auxiliary platform for those who are willing to learn independently and improve themselves. The teacher resources are limited, and students cannot ask their teachers or tutors all the time. Generally, they will find materials themselves, and a lot of time will be wasted during this period.

At the same time, the resources for high-end education are the most scarce, which is actually a monopoly of knowledge.

And this pain point, smart tablets can provide the perfect solution.

Luo Sheng in the conference room said: "Smart tablets require the support of big data and cloud computing technology, and also need to introduce online translation software. In fact, the kernel is very simple, which is to collect the world's top teaching data, and then provide users with consultation through artificial intelligence technology, so that Xiaolan becomes an outstanding private teacher. If you don't understand, ask Xiaolan, and then she will retrieve the information you want for you. Xiaolan is the most versatile teacher."

"So, the prerequisite is that we need a large amount of teaching data resources, which is a very important expenditure. We need to fund various universities as much as possible around the world, and then let them share teaching resources, text, pictures, public or non-public course videos, famous teachers' deconstruction videos of knowledge points, etc. Put this basket of super data in the cloud, and the users are a certain node. Through a platform like big data + cloud computing, Xiaolan is the link to distribute the information needed by users to each node."

"For example, if you learn English, ask if you don't understand. Xiaolan will search and accurately push the use of the grammar you want to know. Xiaolan can answer it for you, you can also let Xiaolan search and review it yourself, etc. For example, if you want to know some cutting-edge academic questions, just ask Xiaolan. As long as we have included it, we can immediately provide the most cutting-edge accurate information."

Everyone nodded silently, and Li Chunsheng muttered to himself: "It seems that big data is playing a role, but the real difficulty and pain point is how to enable Xiaolan to accurately push and structure the content he wants for thousands of users with different needs. This requires too harshly on AI technology."

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "It's okay, the technical problem is not a big problem, that is, the important stage from intelligent perception to intelligent reasoning. Our AI is in the intelligent perception stage at this stage, but it will be upgraded to the intelligent reasoning stage soon. At that time, it means that Xiaolan will have more outstanding 'understanding' ability to solve students' doubts, and behind her is the entire big data, which is richer and more comprehensive than the knowledge mastered by any individual human, and is more than ten thousand times more. The only disadvantage is that it will not create."

Isn't this a technical problem?

Li Chunsheng and others looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment, so the boss dared to say such words in such a relaxed voice.

It is difficult to make an AI go from pure mechanical response to having a certain "understanding" ability. Only researchers involved in the AI ​​field know very well, and it is simply difficult to reach the sky.

Everyone thought that the AI ​​technology of the Costa à Côte d'Azur is not owned by the company, but by Luo Sheng, but the Costa à Côte d'Azur can be used for free.

At this time, everyone realized that the boss himself was a technical genius, but his light was covered up by business and management. It was actually the hidden technical boss in the company.

Thinking of this, Li Chunsheng and others couldn't help but be excited. If technical problems are not problems, then the smart tablet business used for education assistance is definitely another big product.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the meeting lasted until forty minutes. Luo Sheng decided to make a decision and immediately looked at Li Chunsheng: "That's it. We announced our entry into the education industry with technology as the core driving force. You will be responsible for this new business."

Li Chunsheng was quite excited inside, but he did not lose his composure, but nodded seriously, and assumed that he had taken on this task.

This is the first time he has taken a large project alone since he joined the Costa del Sur. He is the highest person in charge of this project and is also the person appointed by Luo Sheng. The key is that the prospects of the smart tablet business are extremely promising.

Li Chunsheng was also thinking in his heart that if nothing unexpected happens, if this project is successful, he might be able to enter the board of directors of Costa del Azure and become one of the real core members.

Luo Sheng withdrew his gaze and looked around everyone and smiled: "In fact, the smart tablet can be regarded as an enlarged version of the Azure series mobile phone. We can use the same AOS operating system and hardware technology, just move it over and modify it. Simply put, it is to enlarge the touch screen, have a larger space, cut off some entertainment attribute functions, and position it as a learning tool, rather than entertainment."

Yao Jianhong hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Luo, will the cut-off of the entertainment attribute function have an impact on sales? The Xiaobawang learning machine can sell well, largely because of the accompanying entertainment function."

Luo Sheng said lightly: "That's called cheating consumers and selling anxiety. I, the Costa delle of the Blue, do not have to make money by using such means. Maybe students will lack interest in this product that cannot play games and entertainment, but you seem to be wrong. The person who pays is not the students, but the general public. If parents know and understand, they will not worry about sales."

Yao Jianhong: "That's true... OK."

Luo Sheng added: "Technical problems have been completed by more than 90% through the accumulation of Azure, so what really takes time to launch this product is the integration of the supply chain. This can be solved in about half a year. This means that in 2010, we launched the smart tablet of educational assistance tool in the summer. This is the second new heavy electronic product released by the Costa delta of the Blue Sky."

Things have been decided so resolutely. The company's senior executives all know that this is just a part of Luo Sheng's huge layout on the Costa ça. The company has now changed its slogan, from the beginning to simply "changing the world" to now put forward a more specific slogan goal - building a smart world with the Internet of Things.
