Chapter 346 This is not a commercial project for profit
Wanda may be able to prevent Ren Life from buying the land in Beverly Hills from it, but it cannot prevent the cooperation between Ren Life and Guangjia Aerospace.
The official signing ceremony between Guangjia Technology, Guangjia Aerospace and China Life Insurance was held in Shenhai, and a large number of reporters came to the signing ceremony.
The cooperation between the top domestic enterprises to develop the American market, not to mention the light armor enterprises, has always been the focus of public attention. The media that did not receive an invitation to the signing ceremony tried their best to get an invitation letter.
The content of the entire signing ceremony did not disappoint the reporters.
"I am very happy to cooperate with China Life. In addition to using the most advanced human hibernation equipment, we are also working with Microsoft to create a new health care robot based on HBM technology and Guangjia Aerospace's generative artificial intelligence."
After Lin Jia finished speaking, a concept promotional video appeared behind him.
In a futuristic building, an old white man crawled out of a human hibernation device. After the door of the equipment cabin was opened, cold air filled the surroundings and spread out. The visual effect was very similar to the liquid nitrogen in science fiction movies.
After walking out of the hibernation cabin, you can see both humans and silver-white robots in the entire space. Combined with the futuristic building in front, the reporters in the audience didn’t think this was a health care center. Everyone thought it should be a spaceship for interstellar travel.
“Can wealthy Americans really accept such an advanced health care center?”
"You all say this looks like a spaceship, but I feel like it looks more like a space prison. This is too bad."
"With such a grim decoration style and such cold interior facilities, what old man would want to spend the rest of his life here?"
“I can only say that I was very optimistic about this project. After all, it has the support of the light armor and the unique skill of human hibernation.
But are you sure this decoration style isn't driving away customers?"
"I really don't know what white people think, but I am sure that Chinese people will not be able to accept this style of health care center."
The reporters in the audience looked at each other in bewilderment. It was indeed very advanced, cool and futuristic, but a health care center was, to put it bluntly, a nursing home. What a nursing home needs is humanistic care, not advanced equipment.
They felt it was not surprising that Light Armor Technology would get the point wrong. After all, they had never done this business. But China Life Insurance should not be unaware of this. China Life Insurance has built many health care centers in China. How come they followed the Light Armor companies and played with the high-end cyberpunk style?
"Mr. Lin, I would like to ask, have Guangjia Technology and China Life Insurance overestimated the acceptance level of their target customer groups?
Even in Los Angeles, only a small number of wealthy people can afford such a futuristic health care center. "
During the Q&A session, a reporter indeed raised questions.
Lin Jia leaned over to the microphone and said, “What you are worried about is what we were worried about before.
Our partner, China Life Insurance, has done a thorough research in America. The elderly of this generation in America have experienced the Star Wars era, and their acceptance of sci-fi retirement centers is far beyond your imagination.
Life Insurance has surveyed more than 500 elderly people of appropriate age, whose average assets exceed 1000 million US dollars, and their acceptance of this concept health care center is more than %. "
The president of Microsoft Asia Pacific, who was sitting next to her, took the microphone and said, "Ms. Lin didn't complete the point just now, so let me add to it.
That is because of cultural differences, so it is very common in American health care centers, but even the most advanced health care centers, like the Compass Health Mission Center in California, which has nearly two hundred beds, or the Northwell Family Rehabilitation Center in Manhattan, New York, which has more than two hundred and fifty beds.
These best health care centers are only good in terms of health. They have first-class doctors and equipment to provide health protection for the elderly.
But it is very lacking in humanistic care.
The robots we jointly built with Guangjia Aerospace do not have nursing functions. They only provide emotional care through conversations. HBM artificial intelligence will be used for physical operations, and OpenAI's GPT will be used to build the underlying logic for conversations.
It mainly provides care on an emotional level.
In addition to this, we will implant human body sign detection devices in the robot's eyeballs to detect the vital signs of the elderly in real time to ensure that they do not encounter any accidents."
Microsoft, as a core supplier, also participated in the signing ceremony.
Although Microsoft did not appear in the signing ceremony, it attaches great importance to this cooperation.
Considering that the goal is to make the health care center a benchmark for Dongda in America, all technologies must be used.
What the president of Microsoft Asia Pacific just mentioned missed one thing, that is, in addition to learning how humans walk, having built-in generative artificial intelligence that can chat with old white men and monitor human body features, these HBM robots must also have the most classic function of HBM, which is driving.
HBM robots need to be able to pick up their customers.
When customers from all over the United States and even the world land at Los Angeles International Airport, robots from the Life Insurance-Guangjia Health Care Center will drive to pick you up.
At the busy Los Angeles International Airport, others have to take an Uber when they get off the bus, but you can just get in a car driven by a robot driver and leave.
The HBM robot simultaneously serves as a driver, a chat partner, and a personal nurse, further increasing its value.
For the wealthy, what they need is differentiated services. Simply piling up manpower and hiring a bunch of doctors with perfect resumes is not attractive to them.
It would be better to live near a top hospital and have a whole team of private doctors than to live in a nursing home like this.
As for why we want to cooperate with Microsoft, the driving rules of Dongda University and Xida University are different. You can't use the HBM robot fed by Dongda University drivers directly at Xida University. You have to retrain the model.
Guangjia Aerospace would never be able to find so much data on its own at Western University, so it needs to cooperate with other Silicon Valley giants.
Given that Dongda’s new energy vehicles are now able to enter the American market, the health care center with a life insurance background will not cooperate with Tesla.
Isn’t cooperating with Tesla equivalent to advertising for Tesla and promoting Tesla?
It must be Dongda’s own luxury new energy vehicle brand. The robot business has never expected to enter the American market, so it doesn’t matter if this part is handed over to Microsoft. But the car used must not be Tesla, even if Tesla builds a second factory in Shenhai.
“What Adams didn’t finish saying just now is that our HBM robot will also be equipped with many of the latest artificial intelligence technologies.
Because he has human facial features and limbs, he can learn like humans.
In order to ensure the safety of the robots, all robots will not be connected to the Internet. What is the initial knowledge structure of the robots? They can only improve their knowledge through reading, conversation and learning.
Let me give you an example. Our health care center will prepare many books for our users. These books can be read not only by users but also by HBM robots.
Real person A is talking to robot B. He says, "I think Walden is interesting. You can go read it." Then robot B reads it. The next day, they can have a conversation about Walden. We usually subscribe to some paper magazines, and robots will also update their knowledge structure by reading these.
You can regard the time that the elderly and new robots spend together as a process of knowledge inheritance.
We will keep this part of the database and iterate on it in the future. If we can really achieve a higher level of artificial intelligence, we will also update and iterate the robots in all health care centers based on past memories.
These robots are expected to be developed within the next two years, and our American Wellness Center will be operational by 2030.”
After Lin Jia finished speaking, some of everyone’s doubts were answered.
Because from this perspective, the health care center jointly built by China Life, Guangjia Aerospace and Guangjia Technology does have a certain appeal.
After the news was reported by American media such as CNN, Fox, and NBC, it quickly attracted widespread attention in America.
Not only is the project itself very eye-catching, but the fact that the University of the Northwest can come to America to build a health care center is considered to be an accessory to the package cooperation agreement reached between America and the University of the Northwest.
Detroit auto workers are launching unprecedented protests because the White House allows China's new energy vehicles to enter the American market.
Simply put, many auto workers are dissatisfied with the White House's permission to import new energy vehicles from the East, as they believe it is stealing their jobs.
Even though the White House and Fox have been making a big fuss in the news media, saying that they will not allow extended-range and hybrid models to enter the American market, only pure electric models of Dongda New Energy Vehicles can enter the American market.
Pure electric vehicles have no market in many places in America. One reason is that oil prices in America are cheap. Another reason is that in many remote towns, power facilities are not well developed. It is possible to install charging stations at home, but it is difficult to find charging stations outside.
However, new energy vehicles with pure solid-state batteries are expensive. After adding tariffs, the price is at least over $10, which is simply not affordable for ordinary American consumers.
Therefore, at the beginning, with the guidance of the White House and Fox, the protests were not loud.
Later, the American Auto Workers Union found Wang from BYD and said that America had allowed them to enter the American market and that they should come to Detroit to build a factory.
To put it bluntly, you have to give benefits to the union. If you don't give us benefits, where will we get the money from?
Lao Wang's answer was very firm. He said that it was no problem to build a factory in America, but it was impossible to build a factory in Detroit. We already have an electric bus factory in California, and we will increase our efforts to build factories in California in the future, but we will never accept the establishment of a trade union.
Lao Wang, like Lao Cao from Fuyao Glass, hates the American Labor Union. Lao Wang thought it was a private conversation, but it turned out to be recorded.
As a result, the recording was made into a big fuss by the American Auto Workers Union and the opposition Democratic Party, who said that the large Eastern auto manufacturers were discriminating against Detroit and wanted to take away the jobs of Detroit auto workers.
In short, the situation was extremely chaotic, and the whole situation was comparable to the auto workers' strike in 24.
Their demand is to prevent Dongda’s new energy vehicles from entering.
Combined with this general environment, the health care center set up by Renhe Life and Guangjia Group has received much more attention than at any other time.
"Of course I will go. I am 72 years old and I can't wait to be the first customer of the Wright Health Care Center."
When China Life Insurance and Guangjia Group signed the contract, the initial name was China Life Insurance-Guangjia Health Care Center, with China Life Insurance in front and Guangjia in the back.
But in the eyes of foreign media, it became the Wright Health Care Center.
Foreign media rushed to interview various big names about their views on the Wright Health and Wellness Center.
The first person to be asked was Bill Gates.
Microsoft is also a participant in the entire project, and Bill Gates is of the right age, so he has already started his retirement life.
Bill Gates' answer was straightforward, and he even added a few more words: "I have seen the entire design before.
Wright personally sent me their design, and I was very interested in it, and I would be very interested in trying it out once it is built.”
Because Microsoft was deeply involved in this project, Bill Gates gave it a lot of face.
"Are you asking how I know Wright? Of course I know Wright. When he was still studying for his doctorate at MIT, I wanted to recruit him to the Gates Foundation as chief scientist.
It's a pity that I didn't make up my mind to meet him at that time. If I had kept Wright in America, Microsoft would be a company with a market value of 10 trillion now. "
This is really true. If these black technologies of Chen Yuanguang were developed by Microsoft, with the money-making ability of U.S. stocks and America's ability to create gods, it would not be a dream for Microsoft's market value to exceed 10 trillion U.S. dollars.
Many Silicon Valley entrepreneurs were interviewed, and about 70% of them said that this was very interesting and they were willing to give it a try.
A reporter from the Wall Street Journal also mentioned this topic when interviewing Buffett.
Buffett said: "Of course, I know about this project, and I have a different view from them.
This is not a commercial project with the purpose of making profits, it is more like a social experiment.
A social experiment on how robots and humans get along with each other.
I believe that the wealthy people who can live there are all elites. They are rich enough and willing to accept new things. They get along with robots who only have knowledge but no experience.
Robots cannot acquire knowledge from the Internet and can only obtain new knowledge in the same way as humans. Robots are helping humans with their old age, and humans are also helping robots grow.
I think this would be a very interesting social experiment.
If I were twenty years younger, I would certainly be happy to participate in such an experiment, but now I don't have the energy to do it.
But I am very interested in Wright's space cemetery. If my ideas remain unchanged, I will also find Wright and ask him to bury me on the moon."
