Chapter 144 A grand entrepreneurial project

Lin Guodong's eyes lit up. The Lin family's business was mostly in traditional businesses, such as grain and oil, real estate, and large-scale projects.

However, with the economic transformation in recent years, some projects are no longer as profitable as before, and some have even become loss-making projects.

Thanks to their foresight about the economic situation, the Lin family withdrew from many projects with poor prospects early on.

Their Lin Group now has tens of billions of cash, but is suffering from a lack of investment projects.

Previously, they had tried investing in some e-commerce and trendy brands, but these projects had little success and did not bring sufficient returns.

So when he heard about the entrepreneurial project, Lin Guodong leaned forward slightly and asked with interest: "What project is it? Tell me about it."

Zhang Yang said seriously: "Entrepreneurial projects must of course be based on the trend. We plan to work in the field of artificial intelligence."

Lin Xiaowan felt even more strange, so she interrupted and asked, "Zhang Yang, when did you have this idea? Why didn't you tell me?"

Zhang Yang said softly, "You are always so tired from working in the hospital. How could I talk to you about these troublesome things when you are with me?"

Seeing that he cared so much about his sister, Lin Guodong showed a gratified smile on his face.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Well... this field is indeed a hot spot in the current era, and I understand it. However, the initial investment in AI training in this field is huge, and it is not easy to monetize it."

Zhang Yang explained: "Brother, you haven't done in-depth research in this field, so I'm afraid you don't know much about it. If we make those general large models, how can we possibly beat those domestic giants?

And the large models in the United States have staggering amounts of data and investments of hundreds of billions of dollars. It is even more impossible for us to compete with them.”

He spoke quite professionally, and even Lin Guocheng became interested: "Then tell me, what kind of AI model do you want to make?"

Zhang Yang dipped his hand in some water, drew a big circle on the table and said, "A general large model requires a huge amount of data training, which will restrict his expertise in a certain area.

Currently, professional AI is mostly used in the office and financial fields, but it ignores a person’s most fundamental need: emotion.”

Zhang Yang spoke in a serious and professional manner, which made Lam Kwok Tung even more interested: "Go on."

Seeing that he was already interested, Zhang Yang also became interested: "Many people nowadays choose not to get married or even have children because of the great social pressure.

But this does not mean that they have no emotional needs. On the contrary, these needs become even greater after being suppressed.

Our project is mainly to provide emotional services to people through the emotional AI model. "

Lin Guocheng said: "It sounds good, but I seem to see similar chatbots in some ordinary AI models. How can we differentiate ourselves from them?"

He had some knowledge of Ai before, so he didn't think that this matter had great prospects just because of what Zhang Yang said, but he was very interested and continued to listen.

Zhang Yang smiled slightly. Since he could bring up this project, he must have made some preparations. He even prepared a video that could be used as a demonstration.

But now, he had to stop there. It was more important to keep them on suspense.

He also had to pretend that he didn't know that they were the eldest and second sons of the Lin Group.

"Of course, it is to be specialized. A large model focusing on the emotional field can only have market advantages if it is specialized, and there will not be some additional investment."

He suddenly stopped talking here and said, "Today we are having a family meeting. We are not talking about business or entrepreneurship. Let's just eat our food, brothers." After that, he picked up some more food for Lam Kwok Tung.

Lin Guodong thought what he said seemed interesting at first, but when it came to the key point, the future brother-in-law suddenly stopped talking.

He was about to ask a few more questions when his mother Yang Yu suddenly frowned and said, "Guodong, look how sensible Xiao Zhang is. Today is a family dinner, so we won't talk about your business matters. You can keep in touch with each other and chat later when you have time."

Lin Guodong was most afraid of his mother, and her words made him dare not continue the topic.

He took out his phone and said to Zhang Yang, "Zhang Yang, let's add each other on WeChat and we'll talk about it in detail later."

Unexpectedly, things went more smoothly than Zhang Yang had imagined. The second brother seemed very interested in this matter and the fish started to take the bait.

Of course, he was happy that he took the initiative to contact him. Zhang Yang immediately took out his mobile phone and added Lin Guodong on WeChat.

Lin Xiaowan frowned slightly. Zhang Yang's performance today made her feel even more unfamiliar.

He seemed to get along well with his family. He brought gifts to please his mother, seemed to get along well with his two brothers, and they even took good care of him, like a well-mannered social person.

But he is not like the Zhang Yang I know. What is the difference between him and the boys I knew before?

She hadn't seen her family for a long time, but she seemed a little absent-minded when talking to her mother and brothers.

Occasionally he glanced at Zhang Yang who was chatting and laughing with his two brothers, and quickly looked away.

The five people finished their meal in this rather dull dinner. The dishes were all Yunshan Hotel's signature Zhejiang cuisine, which was quite delicious, but everyone had their own thoughts.

Lin Xiaowan was doubting whether it was right for her to bring Zhang Yang to meet her family today. At least she felt something was wrong.

Lin Guodong was very interested in the project that Zhang Yang had just mentioned. He wanted to learn more from Zhang Yang before his brother. What if this was a project that could make money?

Lin Guocheng was much more stable. Although he thought the project Zhang Yang mentioned was interesting, he felt that Zhang Yang was not as good as his father said. He was also sharp-eyed and noticed that he and Lin Xiaowan did not seem to have a very good relationship.

As for Zhang Yang, he was very satisfied with tonight. He had learned before that Lin Guodong, as the second son of the Lin Group, was a person with certain power. If he could take the bait, it would be a breakthrough.

Only mother Yang Yu took Lin Xiaowan to talk about family matters and recent developments, and also asked about Zhang Yang's situation.

When the waiter came up to clear the dishes, Lin Guocheng asked, "Xiao Wan, you're not going home today, right?"

Of course, Lin Xiaowan would not take Zhang Yang back to their luxurious villa, otherwise her identity as the daughter of the Lin Group would be exposed.

She nodded and said, "I'll just stay in the hotel for one night. I'll go back to City S early tomorrow morning."

Lin Guocheng took out a room card and said, "I have already booked a room for you. You can go up and check in later."

Zhang Yang and Lin Xiaowan's eyes fell on the room card at the same time. Lin Guocheng only booked one room!
