Tech Hammer

It’s probably hard to imagine that after Ronny Letun’s remarks spread on Twitter, there was still a lot of support. In fact, many times in this world, the perceptions of ordinary people are actually different from the thoughts of many people.

For example, it is hard to believe that under the influence of Mu Qiang culture, ordinary people in many European countries actually look down on the world's most powerful country from the bottom of their hearts. Of course, this does not prevent Americans from also looking down on these decadent and old Europeans. Of course, this does not It hinders the integration of both parties, and the partnership looks down on other groups of people...

Of course, ordinary Europeans have reasons to look down on the United States.

From the first industrial revolution, when Britain stood on top of the world, to the second industrial revolution, countries that immigrated to the American continent began to emerge in the electrification era, and then to the third industrial revolution, which confirmed the dominance of the world's most powerful country in the world. Status, the whole process is full of controversy, and the context for speculators with no cultural background to make a fortune has always been very clear.

But both Europe and the United States have been strong and wealthy for at least this century. Even now, although Europe has begun to lag behind in terms of high-tech influence, the overall social welfare benefits are still extremely developed. Therefore, in the eyes of many people in China, Europe and the United States are one.

So when these remarks reached China in the evening, many people were stunned.

Is Ericsson crazy? Are conflicts starting to arise internally? But this is too courageous, right? In one breath, Intel, Apple, IBM, Google, Microsoft, etc., all these high-tech companies that stomp around and make the world tremble, are not spared, and are they all ridiculed? This Ericsson chairman is absolutely crazy!

When a video with subtitles appeared on the Chinese Internet, countless comments were similar to this ridicule: "Brother, have you been kidnapped by artificial intelligence? If so, just blink or raise your hand to give a hint. , do you understand the hint?"

There are also careful netizens who dug out the video of the speeches of Western high-tech tycoons previously edited by NBC officials, and then found it very accurately in the final announced list of members who have pre-joined the Anti-Artificial Intelligence Alliance to Independently Establish Standards. Found the name Ericsson.

In other words, the alliance just added Ericsson to their alliance list the day before, and the next day Ericsson announced that it would change its ways. The chairman even jumped out and shouted: "They are a bunch of liars, and I don't want to follow them." Liars together, hei tui!"

What's this? This is why Ericsson jumped up, stepped on the faces of all the big guys on the ground, and rubbed them hard. In the end, he even spit out a mouthful. It really seems like I haven’t seen such a fresh melon for a long time, and doesn’t this melon taste more interesting than a celebrity getting drunk late at night?

After all, even if there were bigger disputes between Europe and the United States in the past, the final solutions were mostly affectionate. Everyone will naturally reach a consensus after making a phone call. If one phone call is not enough, then make another call. Don't look at the old Europeans who are tough-mouthed when things are fine, but when it's time to relent, the old Europeans are never vague!

So if something goes wrong this time, there must be a monster! There is no shortage of Sherlock Holmes among all-powerful netizens. Soon everyone focused on the two meaningless Weibo posts that Ning Wei suddenly posted in the morning. He first said that he would perform a mathematical magic trick for everyone, and then posted a Stupid video. Then the Weibo of the person involved stopped updating. Although there was an explanation at the bottom of the video, Ning Wei did not come forward to say anything, so no one knew whether the explanation was correct or not.

But looking at Ericsson's performance at this time, it is naturally impossible to say that it has nothing to do with that Weibo post. At this time, the benefits of eating melon with culture are reflected. Soon a group of practitioners drew up a plan in an industry chat group.

Network equipment with turbulence algorithm protection is hot-selling around the world. Currently, there are only two network equipment providers that have obtained official authorization for algorithm application through Huawei and Jiangda Software Laboratory, namely Huaxin of China and Samsung of South Korea. However, currently the world's mainstream network communication security service providers, including Ericsson, Cisco, Fortinet, Aruba, Palo Alto Networks, etc., have launched their own similar products, and the chat group even gave a list of these series of products. come out.

Combined with Huawei's previous high-profile lawsuit against several friends, including Ericsson, we can probably see what happened in the middle. People in the industry always know more than outsiders. It is said that these companies all claim that their respective devices that implement similar protective effects of turbulence algorithms are safety algorithms redesigned by their own engineers inspired by turbulence algorithms. It cannot be said that they have nothing to do with turbulence algorithms, but they are definitely better than others. .

Ericsson also claimed this before, but now it seems that this is not entirely the case. So at this time, the meaning of Ning Wei's Weibo video is very subtle. For example, Ericsson has chosen to kneel down immediately.

Most of the mainstream companies that have not responded yet are American network communication equipment companies, or network communication equipment companies that have been acquired by American capital.

Although WeChat peer communication groups in the industry also belong to relatively private traffic, in the Internet age, it has always been basic practice for WeChat group chat contents to be screenshotted and posted to public forums. Not to mention this kind of peer chat group, it is an internal chat group within the company. The content may be screenshotted and posted to the public Internet, not to mention that Ericsson’s sudden outburst is currently the most discussed topic on the Internet. Therefore, it is logical that these chat contents appear on major public domain software and communities, such as Weibo, Zhihu, Hupu, etc. The effect is that there are more and more understanding moments on the Internet.

"I know that as soon as Ning Wei starts posting some nonsense on his Weibo, which is not for ordinary people to see, there will always be people who will take notice of it!"

"I understand! This is not mathematical magic. This is a new way to prevent software piracy!"

"So Dr. Ning has long thought that they would cause trouble. Does this mean that the enemy will be divided?"

At this moment, Ning Wei posted another update on Weibo.

"I just watched Mr. Letun's interview. I am very grateful to Mr. Letun for his trust in the artificial intelligence platform that is being built. We welcome all companies that are willing to cooperate and will fight to the end against all irresponsible and false remarks. Finally, thank you all support!"

When this Weibo was updated, the style of the comment area changed instantly.

"Understood! Go buy Ericsson now. If you don't buy it this time, I will be your grandson!"

"Master Ning, can you predict how much Ericsson's stock price will rise in this wave?"

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero. I won't say anymore. I'm going to buy Ericsson at the bottom. The last wave of big guys predicted that the metaverse will collapse but I didn't catch up. This wave must keep up!"

"Do it! Bet all your money on Ericsson to break through 18 dollars! Put up a post to prove it!"

"Xin Ning Wei, become the richest man! This wave is worth betting on, buy all 10,000 shares, and wait for Xiao Ai to be busted!"

"Are all technology stock trendsetters so optimistic about Ericsson? Damn it! It has already risen to 11 dollars? Hurry up and get on the bus. Opportunities to make a fortune don't come often! I will follow you tomorrow and stick to value investing! I won't sell it until the target price is reached this time. .”

"Just because Ericsson can kneel down so simply, so firmly, so straightforwardly, so elegantly and connotatively, I have to support a thousand shares!"

…

When Ning Wei casually glanced at the content that instantly appeared in the comment area, he was stunned because of his determination, and then began to doubt himself. By the way, when did he, an outsider who didn't even know who to approach to open a stock account, become a trendsetter for technology stocks? They are obviously promoting the three major smart platforms that are under preparation, so why are they calling on everyone to buy Ericsson shares?

I really wanted to post another Weibo post, explaining that the stock market is risky and that you need to be cautious when entering the market, and that he did not mean to promote Ericsson, but after thinking about it, he gave up. If these people are just talking about it, it would be really boring to explain it yourself. Not to mention he still has a lot of things to deal with.

Although the preparations for the March Artificial Intelligence Foundation, the March Artificial Intelligence Award and the journal fell smoothly on Lu Dongyi, it also meant that he had to do other things personally.

Especially after organizing the negotiations with Huawei in March in the afternoon, Tian Yanzhen called him to the office again and discussed in depth with him the establishment of an artificial intelligence research institute within the research center.

Naturally, Ning Wei supported this decision with both hands. Having this brand means that the institute itself can cultivate enough talents for the business it wants to develop next. As long as people come in, there is always a way to keep them, and Ningwei is very confident about this.

However, Tian Yanzhen also made it clear to Ning Wei directly that Yanbei University already had its own artificial intelligence research institute, as did Huaqing University next door. Now the research center has built a new research institute of the same type entirely because of the March show. The horizon. Therefore, with the achievements and influence of Ningwei at this stage, and the help of old guys like them, there is no problem in establishing this research institute, but it must also have its own characteristics.

The first thing to solve is the issue of course arrangement and teaching materials. If you learn the same things here as others, then there is no need to apply. Therefore, Ning Wei, who is the most knowledgeable person in the entire research center, needs to design research topics and teaching materials for graduate students admitted to the college, select suitable mentors, and formulate training plans for the graduate school.

For example, after the establishment of the institute, how many people need to be recruited to cultivate theoretical research directions, what research directions are there, who are the suitable tutors at home and abroad for each research direction, what teaching materials should be used, and whether they need to be re-edited. How many people can be recruited to train people to do artificial intelligence applications, the direction of study, and the location for internship...

These all need to be planned by Ning Wei himself. Just after he has distributed all the things that need to be prepared recently, Director Tian asks him to take on new responsibilities. The only good news is that he still has four or five months to prepare for this. But what makes Ningwei very depressed is that things seem to be getting done more and more.

In particular, he has deeply felt that not only has he given up treatment, but even Director Tian seems to have approved of his behavior of breaking things. In the past, when talking to Director Tian, ​​the tutor would always use affectionate words. , hoping to pull him onto the right path, and at least express his expectations for him to win awards in the future. But now Lao Tian has stopped telling him this at all, and is too lazy to repeatedly emphasize that he should focus more on scientific research.

At this time, Ning Wei didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Just when Ning Wei started to reflect on himself after posting on Weibo, Yu Xingwei called.

"Hey, Mr. Xiao Ning, the chairman of the Wolf Foundation just called me again and informed me of a very unfortunate news. My Wolf Prize in Mathematics has been canceled because of the selection of the best math prize in March. The main reason is that the paper published in the "Annals of Mathematics" has been able to prove that the real author is not me. Although given that this is a scientific test, everyone decided not to condemn this matter, but in the spirit of fairness and justice In accordance with the principle, this award must be withdrawn." Yu Xingwei stated a fact calmly on the phone.

"Brother Yu, if it's canceled, it's canceled. Don't be disappointed. With your ability, you will definitely win many awards in the future. The Wolf Prize is really nothing. Look, I haven't won any international awards." Ning Wei consoled him seriously, after all, Yu Xingwei really dedicated his life to science this time.

"Mr. Xiao Ning, I expected the cancellation of the award, but the news he informed me is not the main point, it should be incidental. In fact, he mainly wanted to contact you." Yu Xingwei explained.

"Oh? Why are you contacting me?" Ning Wei was a little confused.

"Didn't they say that the basis for selecting the Mathematics Award this time is mainly because of that paper. Now it can be proved that the paper was written by you. Therefore, after the jury meeting and research, combined with the achievements you have made this year, Mathematics achievements, and to ensure the credibility of the Wolf Prize, I decided to change the Wolf Prize in Mathematics to you, but your phone number couldn’t be reached, and the confirmation email was never answered, so they called me. Then Mr. Chairman, I hope you can call him back and we can discuss the awards." Yu Xingwei explained.

Ning Wei was stunned when he heard this saucy operation, and said doubtfully: "If we really want to ensure the credibility of the Wolf Prize, shouldn't we just cancel this year's mathematics prize silently, and use this method to minimize the impact?" , what’s the point of temporarily changing the award?”

"I don't know, maybe it's because boss, your achievements have made them unable to look directly at you, and they think if you don't kneel down and lick you, you will shame the entire jury, right? In fact, thinking about it, boss, you are indeed the one who won this award, so I just I totally agree. No one in the world of mathematics dares to ignore your achievements, boss, so feel proud!"

Ning Wei thought for a while and said, "Don't make trouble. Think about it from another angle. Maybe they just wanted to trick me into going to the award ceremony. When I came to the stage to receive the award and give my speech, the chairman smashed the cup as a sign of success. A group of people just rushed in and killed me humanely. Thinking about it this way, don’t you feel more comfortable?"
