Hidden Moth-Chapter 478 - 269: External Wind Pathogen with Internal Fever (Part 3)

AI has learning functions and can collect various data during this process, such as voice, tone, answered questions, various behavioral habits, etc...

The digital avatars created in this way can be quite realistic in certain scenarios, thus there is a possibility of misuse, such as making a short video to spread rumors.

Therefore, the contracts signed between the company and the endorsers also impose restrictions in this regard, and the modeling data package must be kept confidential and must not be leaked.

This essentially means that Tengxin Group has signed contracts with these celebrities to purchase the rights to use their virtual digital likenesses for specified scenarios.

The digital avatars are just a sub-project of the Virtual City, originally intended to develop a new type of commercial endorsement model, but it seems to have been a bit ill-timed.

Specifically, everyone is aware that in recent years, the rapid rise of the "live streaming e-commerce" industry has constituted a dimensionality reduction attack on it.

For live streaming e-commerce, it only requires an online live room; anyone, including celebrities, can directly sell products, whereas building a Virtual City, despite its immersive experience, costs much higher in comparison.

The original project couldn’t proceed, but when the West dims, the East brightens, and another opportunity has emerged.

Major breakthroughs have been made in big data computation technology, especially virtual modeling has reached a level almost indistinguishable from reality. Its application prospects have already far exceeded mere commercial endorsements.

The avatar in this project can now achieve near-human effects. This isn’t an exclusive technology of this company; many companies domestically and internationally are working on it, and there is much exchange of experiences among them.

What was once purely within the realm of science fiction, has now become a reality. Since many large companies are working on it and believe it represents a new direction in technology applications, the group’s headquarters is increasingly placing importance on it.

This sub-project is now ready to branch off independently, under the name "Digital Life."

And the "Virtual City" will be the supporting scene for "Digital Life," becoming a sub-project of it, reversing the hierarchical relationship.

More than just He Kao’s department of over thirty people is involved in the project, aside from the other two departments at the Qi Yuan Branch, a team oversees it at the group’s headquarters.

Interestingly, Huang Xiaopang is considered the main proponent of the Digital Life project and the core initiator, yet he has the lowest educational background among all the researchers, having only an undergraduate degree and coming from the gaming department.

This inevitably involves the redistribution of various resources and interests within the group.

President Wei has a plan to bring the leadership of the Digital Life project under his responsible business unit. But Qian Guran certainly won’t agree, and the internal competition is currently in bargaining.

The Digital Life project has received support from the group’s headquarters, with a team participating from there. Qian Guran is also aware it’s impossible to hold everything alone, but it should still be led by the Qi Yuan Branch, which is his bottom line.

Therefore, Qian Guran communicated with the headquarters to appoint a new vice president specifically for this project, promoting Gao Xue’e is also a natural decision, as she has been overseeing this business from the start.

Huang Si has made great contributions, despite his lower educational background and slightly less experience, he can also be promoted to head the core department of the project, granting him appropriate authority and benefits.

Including new recruits like Mei Guyu and others, who are also reserved personnel for the project.

President Wei’s visit to the Qi Yuan Branch for "inspection and research" actually carries this purpose, looking to discuss matters with Qian Guran... He wants to take more, whereas Qian Guran wants to keep more.

From an Observer’s standpoint, President Wei is akin to someone coming to pick peaches; Old Qian certainly won’t welcome him, but outwardly still appears very enthusiastic, which is workplace normalcy.

The group’s internal power struggle aside, it’s not just the tug of war between Old Qian and President Wei, some matters can only be decided by higher leadership. But no one expected President Wei’s cursory tour to have unexpected turns.

Though matters have yet to be settled, President Wei has practically appointed himself the leader of the Digital Life project. He accidentally saw Mei Guyu, not only did his eyes light up, but his heart was moved as well.

He very warmly expressed his hope that Mei Guyu could become the "key promotional figure" of the project.

President Wei also hinted that in the future, substantial resources could be tilted to create and promote Mei Guyu’s digital life image, making her a star among stars, and a key representative of the group’s digital life.

In the digital realm, the value standard often boils down to traffic and computing power, President Wei was telling Mei Guyu that he holds these resources...

President Wei’s actions, albeit somewhat spontaneous, are considered normal, simply thinking from a business standpoint, and as a leader he doubles as a "talent scout."

Whether President Wei has any interest in the beauty, looking to exploit his position to develop other connections, is another matter, anyway he didn’t explicitly say, besides it’s a willing situation.

But unexpectedly, Mei Guyu rejected the offer immediately.

President Wei almost thought he misheard, could it be the young lady hasn’t figured out the advantages implied? So he patiently explained to her that the company’s previous contracts mainly involved some celebrities.

The rewards from these contracts far outweigh Mei Guyu’s current income, and the prospects are much better!

Considering Mei Guyu is part of the development team, President Wei proposed an alternative plan, she could continue participating in the project as an internal employee, receiving additional rewards.

Since the work she participates in is more extensive and important, her level could be raised by two levels...

Unexpectedly, Mei Guyu still clearly expressed disinterest, and very seriously informed President Wei that she applied for the "back-end technical support position," and the contract with the branch company specifies this position.

President Wei’s face showed slight displeasure; even if she didn’t want it, at least show some consideration. Rejecting so bluntly in public was outright disrespectful.

President Wei couldn’t possibly pester in such an occasion, finally leaving with displeasure, remarked: "This is actually equivalent to a promotion, and job positions within the group can be adjusted... Xiaomei, don’t forget you’re still on probation!"
