Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled-Chapter 934 - 697: Reactions and Daily Life

The release of the Tengfei AI Phone still garnered considerable reaction in the market.

The smartphone boom that began in 2010 came to an end with Luo Pangzi’s Tsmartphone, marking the decline of the smartphone trend.

Entering the smartphone industry later saw almost no success.

Any major capital also hesitated to step into this industry.

Mainly because the domestic market had already been divided, and the foreign market was well-established, making it much harder to break into the industry compared to the Xiaomi era in 2010.

The Tengfei AI Phone will undoubtedly seek an independent IPO route in the future, but currently, it’s 100% owned by Chen Pingsheng.

This project was launched to recover some losses for Tengfei AI.

Otherwise, with years of continuous investment, relying solely on those robots from the super factory wouldn’t even recover 1/10 of the costs.

Not to mention, he had invested 25 billion US Dollars in it upfront.

In September, he donated another hundreds of billions to Magic City, but this time he directed it toward Tengfei Future Science and Technology University.

For the next ten years, he will donate hundreds of billions annually to Tengfei Future Science and Technology University.

This is to support the fundamental technological infrastructure of the entire Tengfei Group and further refine its talent cultivation and models.

Tengfei Future Science and Technology University, with an investment of over tens of billions, can accommodate more than 50,000 students on campus.

It is absolutely the most luxurious private tech university in China in terms of scale and hardware facilities, without question.

It is currently undergoing the approval process, preparing to enroll outstanding students from major universities.

One cannot deny that his investments in the field of technology are becoming increasingly substantial.

The previous investment of hundreds of billions of US Dollars in employee housing is also gradually recovering costs.

Given the reputation of the Tengfei Group, recruiting students is not much of a problem.

The excellent students of the Tech University will be given priority for recruitment into the Tengfei Group in the future.

The salary and benefits of the Tengfei Group have always been among the top in the country.

However, the primary recruitment focus is still on research and development talent, with particularly high requirements for education and academic performance.

As for the basic manual sectors, they are gradually being replaced by robots.

By the end of the phone launch event, a meeting within Tengfei Group’s upper management proposed moving into the courier industry, and even the future food delivery industry.

As known, it is a significant achievement for companies to help achieve a high social employment rate.

But Tengfei AI Group proposed entering the food delivery and courier industries with replacement by humanoid robots.

What does this mean?

Through small-scale pilot projects, they develop corresponding service robots, then have people control them.

A technician at the group headquarters can control at least a hundred robots.

This project was immediately rejected by Chen Pingsheng once proposed.

Currently, food delivery and short video constitute the two largest sectors in domestic employment rates.

If these tech giants keep targeting these two groups for their profit goals, it would undoubtedly lead to significant social conflicts.

It is understandable to create in-house robots for their operations, and no one can say anything against it.

Even when phasing out those assembly line workers, they still compensate with at least 12 to 18 months of wages.

However, once they enter the food delivery and courier markets, regardless of whether they can succeed, the social conflicts embedded in this are unavoidable.

Moreover, the aim of Tengfei AI Group should never focus on the ordinary people’s work domain.

Doing so would only exponentially magnify the destructive power of technology.

It would also lead the entire group into a misconception that to make money, they should use robots to replace those vast socially employed groups.

This is absolutely not permissible.

The function of technology should still serve people and is also meant to provide more efficient work and living conditions.

Once the target is set on the vast basic industries, it would be an absolute disaster.

Ordinary industries simply cannot afford to invest billions into research and development for such capabilities. novelbuddy.cσ๓

It can be said that if Tengfei AI is not restricted, it could eliminate over 90% of the novel authors within five years.

Even in the future, small industries like novel writing could be completely replaced by AI.

Users would only need to input the content they want to read into an AI, and it would quickly generate it entirely.

The literary quality wouldn’t even be comparable to ordinary minor authors.

If novel authors can be completely replaced, think much less about the food delivery and courier sectors.

The development of digital live broadcasting robots at Teng You Media is also progressing well.

It’s due to these high-level discussions and personal concerns.

On October 21, Chen Pingsheng set off on a global northern expedition journey.

The general idea is to take his executive team on a month-long visit to Tengfei’s global AI industry research centers.

The first stop is the Qiuming Mountain Center in Guangzhou.

Tengfei AI has a total of eighteen research centers worldwide, each with investments of over hundreds of billions.

Among them, the Qiuming Mountain Center in Guangzhou is one of the larger ones, with an investment of over 18 billion.

It covers an area of around 790 acres, internally connected by a small train to numerous research buildings.

It houses more than 12,000 Tengfei AI research engineers.

The Qiuming Mountain Research Center is primarily serving the Tengfei AI Phone.

The goal is to develop a more efficient and humanized AI Phone project.

Besides this research center in Guangzhou, there are also centers in Magic City, Capital City, and Xi’an dedicated to serving smartphones.

The most important research project is the Tengfei AI system.

This project has been under development for over five years, and a basic version has already been produced.

However, it cannot yet compare to the Android system developed over many years, let alone Apple.
