Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 838: AEEIS Swears Excessively And Also Speak Eloquently

Pei Qian watched the live-stream silently, feeling anxious.

“What’s going on? Can you be more supportive of those foreign brands? They’re twice as expensive as the Bickering Machine.
How can they not sound different?”

“Oh, so I can’t tell the difference either because I’m using my cell phone’s speaker.
That’s alright then.”

“Damn it, Old Ma, hurry up and explain.
This sound quality does not represent the sound quality in reality!”

Old Ma seemed to have heard Pei Qian’s protest on the screen.
He began to evaluate the effectiveness of the sound system according to the contents written on the table after all the auditions were completed.

“The sound quality of these foreign brands is still the best.
I can only say that you get what you pay for.
If everyone has extreme pursuits for sound quality, I would recommend paying more money to buy high-end products.”

“The sound quality of the sound system is generally better than that of the echo wall products, but the echo wall can create a three-dimensional environment.
Both products have their advantages and disadvantages.
It depends on what you choose.”

“Some local and foreign joint-venture brands’ sound systems might look a little worse after dismantling because they took out certain key components.
However, there is not much difference in the quality of the sound but such discrimination must be firmly resisted!”

“As for the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine… if we only evaluate it as an echo wall, it would be no different from other domestically-produced echo wall brands that are priced around 2,000 yuan.
There’s no need to spend a few hundred yuan more…”

At this point, Pei Qian could not help but praise Old Ma.

Well done!

Old Ma was indeed telling the truth.
He could only be stricter with the Intelligent Bickering Machine than other products.
He was determined not to exaggerate!

However, Pei Qian felt light-headed when he saw the bullet screen comments.

“Boss Ma is so strict with his own products! I’ve wronged Boss Ma previously.
I’m sorry! Boss Ma, you’re still the same impartial Boss Ma from before!”

“I have a deep impression of the surround sound effect of the Bickering Machine.
The same sound sounds much better on the echo wall than on ordinary sound systems! To be honest, with my ears, I think that a sound system costing about two thousand yuan is already at the upper limit of my budget.
No matter how expensive it is, I won’t be able to hear the difference and I won’t be able to afford it.”

“It might be a little more expensive than the other echo walls, but the design of the smart bickering machine is nice! It’s like a piece of art.
The structure inside is also exquisite.
It would definitely give me face when my friends visit me at home! As for the other echo walls, they look ordinary and have no special characteristics.”

“What’s more, this design is quite fun.
I really want to buy one to play with!”

The people on the bullet screen remained unmoved even though Ma Yang had spared no effort in criticizing the smart bickering machine.

That was because Ma Yang had only emphasized two shortcomings.
The first was that its sound quality was similar to a two-thousand-yuan locally-produced echo wall.
It could not compete with the expensive foreign brands.
The second shortcoming was that it was a few hundred yuan more expensive than the locally-produced echo wall.
It was not worth it.

However, what the audience saw was the exquisite internal structure and unique design of the Smart Bickering Machine.
They felt that it would not be bad to spend more money to buy a unique-looking echo wall to be placed in the living room!

Everyone focused on the advantages of the smart bickering machine when the shortcomings Ma Yang emphasized were not recognized by everyone.

On top of that, the audience who had already bought the smart bickering machines and felt that they were more useful were also sending bullet screen comments to support it.
It was obvious that many people in the live-stream had loosened up.

While the Intelligent Bickering Machine had been popular for a period of time, it had not been advertised on a large scale after all.
Its popularity would only experience limited increase if it were to spread solely by word-of-mouth.

Many people in the live-stream did not know about this thing.
Now that they understood it, they suddenly felt that this automatic bickering machine was not a joke.
Buying one and placing it at home seemed to be a good choice!

Pei Qian could not help but fall into a daze as he watched the directions of the comments change without him realizing it.

What the hell?

“Old Ma, I know you’ve tried your best, but work harder! Do something more, Old Ma!”

In the live-stream, Ma Yang seemed to have heard Pei Qian’s inner cries once again.
After ‘criticizing’ the smart bickering machine, he entered the last segment.

The functions of the various sound systems!

The first to be evaluated was the sound system or echo wall of the other brands.

Those speakers that cost a few thousand yuan were basically not smart speakers, so they could not participate in this segment.
However, the cheaper smart speakers started to show their prowess.

For example, voice control of home appliances, inquiring about the weather, telling stories, broadcasting songs, etc.
The functions were very rich.

At this point, Pei Qian was a little nervous.
The AEEIS Smart Bickering Machine seemed to be the only sound product with artificial intelligence in the 2,000 yuan and above range.

It possessed artificial intelligence amongst the sound systems that produced good sound; moreover, it had the best sound system amongst those with artificial intelligence.

However, on further thought, he had set this price point at that point in time so that there would be no competition.

What’s more, everyone’s artificial intelligence was using Xunke Technologies’ technology.
Its functions should be no different from those smart speakers that cost one or two hundred yuan.
It shouldn’t be a core selling point, right?

Even if there was a bickering mode, no one would think that it could justify the premium of a few hundred yuan, right?

Pei Qian continued watching patiently.

Soon, Ma Yang was on the AEEIS Smart Bickering Machine.
He first demonstrated the various basic functions and the extremely popular bickering model online according to the planned process.

This information had already been spread online not long after the Intelligent Bickering Machine was released.
Many people had uploaded videos.

However, there were still some people in the live-stream who did not know about it.
Boss Ma bickered with the bickering machine until his face turned red.
The effect of the show was maxed out, causing the bullet screen comments to be filled with laughter.

Ma Yang was beside himself with anger.
However, he managed to control himself under Chen Yufeng’s repeated hints.
He exited the bickering mode and entered the next segment.

“Next is its automatic poem recitation function.
First, any poem that is recited can be matched with the next sentence and can be found and explained.”

“AEEIS, Leave home laughing with head held high.”

The status light on the Smart Bickering Machine flashed.
“We are amongst the ordinary!”

Ma Yang asked again, “What is it’s source and explanation?”

AEEIS: “From Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai’s’ Nanling And Childhood To Enter The Imperial Palace’.
At that time, Li Bai received Tang Xuanzong’s letter summoning him to the capital…”

It gave a simple and precise explanation.
Not a single word was unnecessary.

Ma Yang asked another smart speaker next to him the same question.
The smart speaker also gave the name of the next line and poem.
However, it could not give any concise answer once he asked about the origin and explanation.

The viewers could not help but click their tongues in wonder.

“Eh? It’s easy to follow up with the next sentence.
You can just search it online.
But what’s with the origin and explanation? How can it answer so well?”

“That’s right.
I checked with Qiandu and found a bunch of messy content.
There’s an explanation but it’s not as simple and clear as this.”

“It feels like someone edited it in advance.
There’s not a single word of nonsense.”

“They’re both artificial intelligence.
Could this be a special function of Otto Technologies? That doesn’t make sense, right? There are so many poems.
They can’t possibly have written an explanation for every poem, right? How much work would that take?!”

Initially, the audience had thought that there was no point in automatically matching the next line of the poem.
Wasn’t this something that could be done by asking Qiandu?

However, they realized that it was not the case after comparing it with the other smart speakers.
They were also able to match the next line of the poem but the poem’s origins and explanation were worlds apart.

Ma Yang continued, “AEEIS, use ‘plum blossoms’ as the theme to come up with a poem.”

AEEIS paused for a moment.
“The winter plum trees have yet to dry, the dark fragrance remains in the moonlight; the east wind does not care if one is haggard, but keeps a clear shade to accompany one’s exhausted soul.”

Ma Yang: “AEEIS, come up with another poem on the theme ‘river water’.”

AEEIS: “White clouds and rivers flowed from the west as the sun shone on the green mountains; a light misty rain showers on him as he leaves on a small boat, constantly glancing back.”

Ma Yang: “AEEIS, make a poem based on ‘earning a living’.”

AEEIS: “No matter how much time has past, I will always be burdened by the vicissitudes of life; The rain patters into the lakes and rivers, where will we meet again today.”

Ma Yang: “AEEIS, use ‘Tengda Corporation’ as an acrostic poem.”

This time, AEEIS took one more second.
“Leap up to the highest peak, capturing everything in view; gather all your wisdom and make a killing in the world.”

Ma Yang: “AEEIS, use ‘Boss Pei Ma Yang’ as the theme for a poem.”

AEEIS: “Boss Pei’s water acts like the sky, always hold up the old boat; Head up to the mountain, no one’s there but the scenery in Yangzhou remains the same.”

Ma Yang: “AEEIS, first verse: Plenty of passengers are passing through this spring river.”

AEEIS: “The bright moon has a bosom friend.”

Ma Yang: “AEEIS, first verse: A thousand sails pass by the side of the heavy boat.”

AEEIS: “Leaves are falling before autumn.”

Ma Yang quickly displayed AEEIS’ poetry function according to the contents of the proposal.

AEEIS mainly had three functions for poems: first, create a poem with a keyword as the theme; second, create an acrostic poem with a keyword; third, an automatic couplet.

These poems and couplets might have been automatically generated from the library of poetry, keywords, and algorithms, but AEEIS’ emotionless electronic voice sounded quite cool.

The bullet screen was filled with all sorts of praises.

“Holy sh*t! Not only can this Bickering Machine swear excessively, it can also speak so eloquently?”

“The poems are not bad.
They can be created based on keywords and can also be an acrostic poem.
It can even match couplets! I guess it can probably beat 90% of the audience in the live-stream.”

“Be confident, it can probably beat 99.9% of us in a heartbeat!”

“Are these really automatically generated? Could it be a pre-planned program to trick us?”

“The Intelligent Bickering Machine that I bought has been updated as well.
I tried it just now and it’s actually real! What’s more, it’s not even a seven-step poem.
It’s a poem made in seconds.
It’s ridiculous!”

“This function should have been specially developed, right? It’s obviously an artificial intelligence, but they developed a poetry function instead of practical functions? That’s really good! I like it!”

“This AEEIS persona is really interesting.
Its general answers are very concise as well.
When it bickers with you, it can use logic to make you speechless.
The key is that it is very talented, and it’s very eloquent.
It could come up with poems or couplets in a split second!”

“Overwhelming the master’s intelligence?”

“I love this artificial intelligence.
I want to buy a bickering machine because of AEEIS!”
