The theme of this year's annual meeting is "One Fire, Full of Stars", and the theme of the annual meeting shared by Wu Yusheng, President of Taoyun Technology, originated from a conversation he had with his son who returned from studying abroad. By telling the stories around him, Wu Yusheng dispelled his son's confusion about the future and ignited his belief in success. After a deep chat, Wu Yusheng felt that these "stories of the old Wu family" should also be told to Taoyun's classmates.
Wu Yusheng was born in Anqing, Anhui Province, in a family of 8, with 3 older brothers and 1 sister. When he was 5 years old, his parents' monthly salary was less than 50 yuan, and the family lived very poorly.
In order to change the family's situation, Wu Yusheng's father thought of a solution: paste matchboxes. At that time, there was a match factory in Anqing, and matchboxes were outsourced to family workshops. 10,000 matchboxes can get about 5 yuan in processing fees. In this way, under the leadership of my father, a family production line with children as the main body was officially started.
My father was a craftsman and valued craftsmanship and detail. Wu Yusheng recalled that during the production process, his father constantly adjusted the production process and production details, and soon, his family became the most efficient and high-quality family among many outsourcing families.
One summer, Lao Wu's family mobilized as a family, from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. every day. After a month, the whole family got a total of 96 yuan in processing fees, "When the family counts money together, it is the happiest time." ”
Later, the eldest brother and sister went to the countryside, the second brother and the third brother were admitted to the university, and I was the only one left in the entire family production line, so I had to shut down. Wu Yusheng said that he spends more time on studying. When he was admitted to USTC, his average admission score was 30 points higher than that of Tsinghua University and Peking University.
After getting along with my classmates up close, I learned the details of how to do things well. Wu Yusheng said, for example, when he was in college, in order to subsidize his family, he decided to give full play to his radio professional expertise and set up a maintenance department, and the "Wantai Maintenance Department" came into being. He recalled that there was no printer in the school back then, so the dormitory brothers hand-painted a billboard of "Wantai Maintenance Department" and pasted it at the door of the dormitory. In order to increase the amount of business, the brothers also posted advertisements on the telephone poles in front of the canteens and the entrances and exits of the main roads ......"In short, where the traffic is, the advertising will be posted. ”
Not long after, another dormitory also opened a maintenance department, called "Wonder Fu Maintenance Department". Where is the advertisement of Wantai maintenance department, and where is the advertisement of Wandefu maintenance department.
Wu Yusheng said that at that time, the second dormitory child came up with an idea, he pasted another piece of paper between the advertisement of Wantai maintenance department and the advertisement of Wandefu maintenance department, and drew an arrow pointing from Wandefu to Wantai, leaving a line of small words at the bottom: "If this one can't be done, send it here to try."
The final result is that Wantai maintenance department has a lot of orders because of the good traffic acquisition, good service, and excellent quality. Wu Yusheng said that this "associated arrow" also allowed cooperation between the two maintenance departments, "The maintenance department of Wonder has received a lot of orders from us. ”
In 2015, Wu Yusheng was very optimistic about the development of the toy industry and artificial intelligence, and led the team to officially join Taoyun Technology, which soon became the leading force in the industry.
However, Wu Yusheng noticed that although the company provided high-quality technical solutions, some partners were far from the needs of children in terms of product materials and product design, which gave Wu Yusheng the idea of making products for his children.
The common values and sense of mission finally brought Wu Yusheng and Liu Qingsheng, chairman of Taoyun Technology, together. Together with the team of parents who understand artificial intelligence, the two make products for their children and bring good products to more children.
Alpha Egg came into being, and the product began to enter thousands of households. Together, the two injected the brand interpretation of Alpha Egg - the heart of a parent and incubated it with AI.
In recent years, Alpha Egg has deeply observed the learned scenes of children's daily home, and found that the dictionary pen category is being favored by more and more families. "The first dictionary pen I bought for my daughter could only help her look up English words, and reference books like Xinhua Dictionary didn't put it in. Wu Yusheng said, "A good dictionary pen should be able to help children query Chinese and English knowledge, so that the schoolbag can be 'slimmed down'." ”
In line with this idea, we spent 100 days to develop and mass-produce the Alpha Egg AI Dictionary Pen Q3 with high quality. Wu Yusheng said that Q3 has been widely recognized by the market for its new concept of putting more than 20 reference books into a pen with a sweep of Chinese and English words and sentences, as well as its excellent response speed and accuracy.
In 2021, the Alpha Egg AI Dictionary Pen T10 was launched. This pen can not only translate words and sentences, but also analyze the grammar in class. When developing this function, it was suggested that the current accuracy rate of AI syntax parsing has exceeded 90%, and this general technology can be directly implanted.
Even if the artificial intelligence technology can do 99%, there may be 1 wrong knowledge, which we cannot tolerate. Wu Yusheng said frankly that this is because Alpha Egg wants to give children every grammatical explanation to pursue 100% correctness. To this end, Alpha Egg invited teaching and research teachers to manually annotate more than 170,000 words and sentences in the teaching materials in the class, and through multiple rounds of screening, it took more than half a year to develop the "grammar explanation" function.
In the creation of the third-generation dictionary pen - Alpha Egg AI Dictionary Pen T20, we have built-in AI knowledge graph learning method to learn knowledge from point to surface. In terms of mathematics, physics and chemistry, it also puts 9 subject knowledge cards and problem-solving ideas into it, so that children can really read books and learn by themselves. He said.
In my heart, the Alpha Egg AI Dictionary Pen D1 has been a great product since the beginning of the project. In Wu Yusheng's view, the greatness of D1 lies in embracing the essence of education with the power of science and technology - to help more children and become better children.
I noticed that when my daughter was studying or reading, she usually waited for nearly 20 seconds to turn on the computer, during which the child was easily distracted and her thinking was disrupted if she was not careful. Wu Yusheng introduced that in response to this pain point, our team of students often worked all night, 10 milliseconds, 10 milliseconds to shorten the boot time, and finally achieved the pen and check.
We are well aware that the essence of education is to teach and solve doubts, and technology should benefit everyone. We did not hesitate to put this function and the standard technology of the high school entrance examination into the Alpha Egg AI Dictionary Pen D1, so that more children can enjoy the benefits brought by technology. Wu Yusheng said that high-quality performance and people-friendly performance make the majority of rural families no longer feel that the dictionary pen is a large expense. "Alpha Egg should be a parent's heart, so that every urban and rural child can use a good dictionary pen with the standards of the high school entrance examination. ”
Wu Yusheng said that in 2023, the students will study together and make friends with books, igniting their thirst for knowledge, and many touching stories have happened on all fronts of research, production, marketing, supply, marketing and service. These stories are the best footnotes to the "red" report card on the iceberg, and they are also buried deep under the iceberg, turning into the strong resilience of each team on its own.
Late one night, Mr. Dong, a talent, contacted us, and his live broadcast room was going to do a public welfare activity in Weihai, Shandong, hoping that we would send the samples the next day. Wu Yusheng said that in order to meet the needs of the other party, Wang Ying, the account manager, and Yin Shijie, the product operator, drove directly from Hefei to Weihai, 900 kilometers away, without saying a word. Early the next morning, when the two little girls sent the samples to Mr. Dong's live broadcast room, the other party was immediately amazed, and also achieved the brilliant results of Mr. Dong's live broadcast room later. ”
Wu Yusheng also said that during the summer vacation last year, in the construction of the three rural talents, the students worked hard, the journey was twists and turns, walked through the fields, and arrived at the talents' homes. "The summer night is unbearably hot, and under the light, everyone can see mosquitoes flying everywhere through the screen, attacking the students in a high-density manner. Wu Yusheng said that none of these lovely students complained about it, and insisted on talking about the products well, which eventually brought high reputation and high sales.
Wu Yusheng said that in 2024, students will live and work in peace and contentment, enjoy happiness and happiness in the common home of Taoyun.
He hopes that every Taoyun person ignites the original intention of struggle and uses their hard-working hands to bring a better environment to the big family;
Every Taoyun person ignites the original intention of innovation, forges ahead for the common dream, and continues to study for the common dream;
Every Taoyun person ignites the original intention of learning and builds a better Taoyun family in the future;
Every Taoyun person ignites the concept of "parents' hearts, incubate with AI", and together deliver better education products to every family.
Dear Taoyun students, 2024, you and I encourage each other, come on together!
