Chapter 686 I Just Think He Won

Chapter 686 I Just Think He Won
Beijing.

Zhou Zhou sat in the back seat of a Rolls-Royce.

He was playing with an invitation to the “Earth Star Group Establishment Ceremony” in his hand, and said to Old Zhou who was sitting next to him: “Dad, I heard that the four words ‘Earth Star Culture’ were written by Mr. Min.”

Hearing this, Lao Zhou took the invitation letter and opened it. After looking at the four words “Earth Star Culture” printed on the back of the card, he nodded and said, “It is indeed his handwriting.”

“This is such a great honor.” Zhou Zhou couldn’t help but sigh.

That’s right, the father and son were on their way to the Dixing Cultural Industrial Park to attend the founding ceremony of the Dixing Cultural Group.

After such a long period of preparation, the seven independent four-story office buildings in the industrial park where Ivy is located have all been owned by Dixing Culture.

Except for Xiao Moss in Shanghai, Moss Technology in Hangzhou, and Huahai, all the companies under Dixing Culture have moved into this industrial park.

This includes the headquarters of Wan Da Pictures, which has been renamed Dixing Pictures.

The reason for the relocation is to facilitate the unified management of the group. Otherwise, if there are companies everywhere, problems will easily arise, especially for a company like Wanda Pictures that has a lot of old forces.

Whether it is changing the name or moving the office to a different location, it is equivalent to a “compliance cleansing.”

This time, he took the opportunity to purge a bunch of disobedient middle and senior management, strengthening Xu Xiyu’s control over Wanta Pictures.

Zhou Zhou and Lao Zhou had no objection to this.

From the moment they planned to sell Wanda Pictures to Xu Xiyu, the two had already given up the management rights of the company.

What really confused them was the timing of the inauguration ceremony.

“Who do you think Xu Xiyu asked to calculate the date? The ceremony will start at 2 o’clock on Friday afternoon. After the ceremony, there will be a dinner party in the evening, and then we will have a day off directly.” As Lao Zhou spoke, his expression looked like he was constipated.

Incomprehensible.

It’s really incomprehensible.

Establishment is equivalent to opening a business, and opening a business requires striking while the iron is hot.

Therefore, it is usually placed on Monday, or at worst on Tuesday or Wednesday. In any case, it is reasonable to place it on the next day which is a working day.

On a Friday, this was hilarious.

“Could it be that their company will all work overtime tomorrow?” Zhou Zhou also felt that this time was a bit unlucky.

But after saying that, he shook his head and said, “That’s not right. The news from Dixing Films is that they will have a weekend off as usual. Wait…”

“What?” Lao Zhou looked at him puzzled.

“It can’t be that they want to take advantage of the weekend to make some big news, right?” Zhou Zhou had an idea.

“Wei Gu and Dixing Culture are not listed. What does the closure or not have to do with them?” Old Zhou shook his head.

Then he continued, “Hua Hai has gone public, but hasn’t the movie Fate already started showing? Although the performance of this movie is okay, it is far inferior to Xu Xiyu’s works.

As for Dixing Films, they have almost reaped the benefits of the last wave of favorable conditions, and it will be difficult for them to rise again in a short period of time. So, what big news can Xu Xiyu make?”

“I’m not talking about A-shares and Hong Kong stocks, I’m talking about US stocks,” Zhou Zhou said. It’s 13 hours later there than in China. It’s 2 p.m. on Friday here, and 1 a.m. on Friday there.

“U.S. stocks…” Old Zhou fell into deep thought again. After a while, he shook his head and smiled, “I don’t think Xu Xiyu can have any influence on the U.S. stock market.”

“No, no, no, Dad, there are some things you don’t know. The universal AI model MOSS-550A on the Weigu APP is the same as the name of the artificial intelligence in Xu Xiyu’s movie.

That is to say, the universal artificial intelligence in “Wandering Blue Planet” is also called MOSS. Not only that, the company that produces the bionic robots in “New Paradise: Wangxian” is called MOSS Technology.

Also, the satellite launched by Xu Xiyu and Hu Ningwei, the Navigator 1, do you know where the name came from? “

“Is it also “Wandering Blue Star”? “

“Yes! The space station in “Wandering Blue Planet” is called the Navigator International Space Station. It is responsible for providing real-time warning, orbit correction and communication support for Blue Planet to leave the solar system.”

At this point, Zhou Zhou danced with excitement and said, “Dad, what do you think Xu Xiyu is going to do? This promotional linkage is absolutely amazing, and it started from “New Paradise: Wangxian”, artificial intelligence, bionic robots…”

Seeing Zhou Zhou getting more and more excited, Old Zhou couldn’t help laughing and said, “No matter how wonderful it is, it’s just a movie…”

“No! How can it be just a movie?” Zhou Zhou interrupted directly, “This influence is far-reaching. On the one hand, from the perspective of economic benefits, the box office of this movie is likely to create history.

The derivative peripherals and derivative industries of the movie will benefit. For example, the MOSS model in the Weigu direct store is likely to be a big hit.

On the other hand, assuming that the AI ​​MOSS is really powerful, then through the promotion of this movie, MOSS may replace ChatGpt and become the most popular AI in the world.

Even children, influenced by the movie, will have the impression of MOSS as the global general AI in their minds. In other words, MOSS provides a “nuclear-level” ballast for our country’s AI industry.

Thirdly, the “Chinese solution to crisis” shown in this film further concretizes the “community of shared future for mankind” that we have always advocated.

What is this kind of hard science fiction film? It is an interpretation of the future context. In the past, the right to interpret has always been in the hands of the United States.

If this time “Wandering Blue Planet” can be linked with China’s real industry to succeed, it means that we have, to a certain extent, snatched the right to interpret future development from the United States…”

“Alright, alright.” Old Zhou interrupted Zhou Zhou’s chatter, and then, while rubbing his eyes, he said, “Zhou Zhou, you disappoint me a little.”

“???” Zhou Zhou had a “black question mark” expression on his face. Ah, are you disappointed in me again today?
“When doing things, you can’t just rely on empty thoughts.” Lao Zhou looked up and gazed at the scenery outside the car window.

“Dad, what I said is what I know, it’s not made up out of thin air…” Zhou Zhou defended himself.

But this defense was interrupted by Lao Zhou again: “Don’t be stubborn. Let me ask you, can “Wandering Blue Star” break the box office history?”

“With this kind of joint promotional method, it will definitely work.” Zhou Zhou answered with great confidence.

Given the quality of “Wandering Blue Planet” and this type of publicity, he really couldn’t imagine the possibility of the box office not exploding.

Therefore, after he finished speaking, he slapped his thigh and said, “I really regret it now. I should have accepted Xu Xiyu’s proposal and taken 80% of the box office share of “Wandering Blue Star”!”

“Look at you. Let me tell you, Wandering Blue Star can’t even break Xu Xiyu’s own box office record. The reason is what I emphasized to you last time. Xu Xiyu has no overseas market.

The domestic box office revenue is only 60 billion. Even if he can get 70 billion, isn’t that exaggerated?
This 70 billion box office is a great success for others. But compared with Xu Xiyu’s past achievements, it is just a passing grade at best.” Old Zhou’s tone was even firmer than Zhou Zhou’s.

“That’s not right, Dad. Last time you said that Xu Xiyu had offended DI, so he would be boycotted in the international market. But the problem is that Tru won, and he clearly wanted to eliminate DI.

In other words, DI is now in a state of being busy with his own affairs, so he has no time to care about Xu Xiyu’s movie. Tru will not care either, because Xu Xiyu’s past actions coincide with his own. “

As Zhou Zhou spoke, he slapped his thigh again. As he spoke, he felt that Xu Xiyu had simply won.

But Lao Zhou disagreed with his opinion and shook his head, saying, “It’s useless. I’ve also said that whether it’s Tru or Lacy, their attitude towards us is the same, so don’t expect Tru to be lenient towards Xu Xiyu.”

After that, without waiting for Zhou Zhou’s reply, he continued earnestly: “Also, Trugang announced that he has joined forces with giant companies such as OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle to jointly create the Stargate Project.

What is this for? This is to build a hegemonic system of AI. Under such circumstances, do you still expect MOSS to become a popular AI in the world? Is this possible?
You, don’t always daydream like this. In this world, strength is everything. I have never understood that MOSS.

However, the AI ​​models of many large Internet companies, including Baidu in China and Microsoft abroad, are still far inferior to ChatGPT.

What good can AI created by a company jointly established by a quantitative company, a beauty company, and a film and television company be?

Next, Tru will tighten the chip, which means that the MOSS you mentioned will be finished.” “No, no, Dad, you…” Zhou Zhou was a little confused by what Lao Zhou said. He wanted to refute, but he couldn’t find a point to refute for a while.

“Okay, I won’t talk to you anymore. If I were you, I would never sit here and waste time dreaming. Instead, I would find a suitable point to buy Nvidia’s stock.

Because of the Stargate Project, their market value has exceeded 3.5 trillion, and they are about to surpass Apple to become the world’s most valuable company.

This is just the beginning. I expect them to rise further and become the first company in the world to break through the 4 trillion market value. And there won’t be much decline in the next three to five years. The reason is very simple, because there is the support of the Stargate Project. “

“…” Zhou Zhou opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his mind had been confused by Old Zhou’s teaching. He was stunned for a long time before he replied hesitantly, “Dad, did you buy Nvidia’s stock?”

“What else? After seeing the news about the Stargate Project today, the people I just arranged to enter the market are just like you, a fool, and have no perception of the market. Who can make money? You, you still have something to learn.”

When Old Zhou spoke, his expression was quite contented. In fact, he really enjoyed the feeling of being a parent educating his children and grandchildren.

After all, in many ways, he had lived a very successful life.

Therefore, he has always been very confident in his own judgment.

Also because of his success and his father’s identity, Zhou Zhou was easily confused about how to refute what he said.

Fortunately, he didn’t have to refute because the car had already arrived.

“Wow, it’s quite beautiful.” As soon as he entered the park, Zhou Zhou was attracted by the layout inside.

Inside the park, you can see the IP derivative contents of Dixing Culture in recent years everywhere.

For example, the huge “little crocodile” statue placed on a lawn is based on the image of “Journey to the West: The Sequel”.

And beneath these displays, and on the roads inside the park that can be seen everywhere, there are a galaxy of stars, with celebrity artists checking in and taking photos everywhere.

It seems that all the celebrities who can be named in the entertainment industry have come, and there are more of them than the last time they went to the National Style Culture Festival.

This is normal, because there is no conflict in endorsement when attending the opening ceremony of Dixing Culture.

Other entertainment companies are also happy to have their own artists come here to make themselves known. What if they can get a project from Earth Culture?
“Are we going to have another live broadcast today?” After Lao Zhou got off the car and saw this scene, he couldn’t help but look around.

“It’s not open today. It’s a private ceremony.” A young woman with a welcoming ribbon slung across her body answered the two people’s questions.

The two looked at each other in confusion, and the woman said again: “Boss Zhou, Little Boss Zhou, I am Liu Jie from the Earth Star Administration Department. You two can just call me Little Liu. Boss Xu is welcoming guests at the entrance of Building No. 1. I will take you two there.”

“Oh, thank you for your hard work.” Lao Zhou said politely with a smile.

As he was walking, Zhou Zhou suddenly felt happy because he saw a familiar figure not far away.

“Hey! A Guang, A Guang!” Zhou Zhou waved his hands and shouted.

Li Yiguang, who was walking with his head down, turned around when he heard the shout and saw Zhou Zhou running up to him and hooking his shoulder: “Why are you here today?”

“If you can come, why can’t I?” Li Yi Guang shook his shoulders and shook Zhou Zhou’s hand away.

“I’m different. Xu Xiyu and I are partners and we have always had a good relationship.”

“Xu Xiyu and I are partners. Not only partners, but we are also relatives. We have a very good relationship!” Li Yiguang rolled his eyes.

“Tsk~~Hehehehe…” Zhou Zhou was amused by this and let out a suppressed laugh. What the hell are you talking about relatives? I heard that Hu Ningwei doesn’t even recognize you as her cousin, so how can you say you’re a relative?

Just as he was about to make a few more jokes, he noticed Du Zhiping approaching him, so he quickly put away his smile and politely greeted her, “Aunt Du, hello.”

“Oh, Zhou Zhou, is your father here?” Du Zhiping still maintained the reserve of an elder in front of Zhou Zhou.

“Come here, over there.” Zhou Zhou said and signaled with his eyes to Old Zhou who was walking and chatting with Liu Jie.

“Uncle Zhou, you are still as approachable as ever.” Li Yiguang looked over and couldn’t help but make a teasing remark.

Zhou Zhou heard this and was about to retort.

But I saw Xu Xiyu coming out of the door of Building No. 1.

As soon as they saw him, Li Yiguang and Zhou Zhou couldn’t hold back anymore.

Because at this time Xu Xiyu was wearing a welcome ribbon with the words “Welcome to Dixing Culture” slung across his body, which was exactly the same as the one carried by Liu Jie and the employees of Dixing Culture they met on the road.

“What is he doing?” Zhou Zhou whispered.

“I just love doing this kind of nonsense.” Li Yiguang curled his lips.

As for Du Zhiping, she didn’t have so many thoughts. She just couldn’t help but become nervous the moment she saw Xu Xiyu.

Because this was the first time the two met since that night.

In fact, after seeing Du Zhiping, Xu Xiyu felt inexplicably nervous, but he did not show it. Instead, he walked forward quickly with a normal expression.

He first extended his hand to Old Zhou who had also approached him and said with a smile, “Mr. Zhou, it is a great honor for us to have you here.”

“It’s about time. It’s about time.” Old Zhou looked up and down at the ribbon on Xu Xiyu, and then said to Zhou Zhou, “Zhou Zhou, look at Mr. Xu, have you learned anything?”

“I got it.” Zhou Zhou agreed quickly, but only he knew whether he was sincere or not.

“What’s the point of talking about whether to study or not? You think too highly of me.” Xu Xiyu laughed.

Then he shook hands with Zhou Zhou and Li Yiguang in turn, and then came to Du Zhiping, stretched out his hand and said, “Mr. Du, welcome. It’s been a long time since we last met. You look even more elegant than before.”

“Thank you.” Du Zhiping gently extended her hand and shook hands with Xu Xiyu, then instinctively lowered her head slightly, reached out to tuck her hair behind her ears, and avoided looking at Xu Xiyu.

She felt that her performance was very natural and there were no flaws.

The others were indeed attracted by the lively scene and did not notice anything unusual about her.

Only Xu Xiyu felt alarm bells go off in his heart.

Oh my God!
Just shake hands if you want, why are you being shy?
Don’t mess with me.

Today, except for Yang Xueqing who is still in confinement after giving birth, everyone who was supposed to come came.

Thinking of this, he wanted to avoid Du Zhiping, so he said to Shan Xinbao who was not far away: “Xinbao, please entertain Mr. Zhou and Mr. Du for me.”

“Here I come.” Shan Xinbao trotted over. She was also wearing a welcome ribbon.

A few minutes later, the group was taken inside.

At this time, Gao Wen also arrived at the door of Building No. 1.

The moment he saw Xu Xiyu, Gao Wen lowered his voice and said impatiently: “Everything is ready. According to the plan, you will speak at the last part of the inauguration ceremony later.

Just announce that the MOSS-550B code base, 550B1, B3 models, and browser automation tools will be open source to the public.”
