In the blink of an eye, the seven-day pre-sale period ended.

"During the entire pre-sale period, only 1,200 units of Lingxi translators and 10,000 pairs of Lingxi earphones were sold, and the total value of the products only exceeded 10 million."

"If the merchants of Feixun didn't lower their prices to attack, maybe they could go up a little bit more, but the ceiling is there, and it won't go up much."

Father Chen told Chen Shen about the results during the pre-sale period at dinner.

For Angle, this result is undoubtedly extremely poor, and it does not meet people's expectations at all.

You should know that the new year model of the crimson storm model that Angkor cooperated with other manufacturers also opened the global pre-sale one day ago.

As a result, in less than a day, the pre-sale value has exceeded an astonishing 800 million.

This kind of phenomenon has made many people say that in the future, they can make money as long as they concentrate on making toys, and there is no need to study other things at all.

In contrast, the seven-day pre-sale value of translation equipment has only exceeded 10 million, and the business that is still declining is of no value at all.

However, regarding the achievements of the translator, Chen Shen, his father and son, and the high-level executives can accept it.

Judging from the current results, even if the translation machine business loses money, it will not lose too much, and it may even make a small profit, which in turn will give blood to the AI ​​​​translation team.

At this time, Mother Chen brought out the remaining dishes from the kitchen. The dishes on the dining table were full of color and fragrance, and the surroundings were immediately enveloped by the aroma of the dishes.

She turned off the TV in the living room, and there was still an advertisement for the Danshan Islands on it. She sat down at the dining table and said: "In my opinion, the Lingxi translator is selling so badly, so don't increase production. Now this batch of inventory is enough." It’s been on sale for a long time, and in the future translation devices will mainly be Lingxi earphones.”

Chen's father shook his head and said, "You don't understand this. Regarding the translation machine, I didn't give up completely as the outside said. We have to make a big move next."

Mother Chen rolled her eyes, "You can't change the essence of this product even if you make any big moves. Its status in translation equipment is like that of the previous big brother, and it will eventually be eliminated."

"The best carrier after the translation equipment is the interpretation headset."

"Based on the precise pickup of human voice by Lingxi earphones, we only need to add a call mode, which only recognizes and picks up the user's voice, and the call quality will definitely be greatly improved."

"In this way, our interpreting earphones can compete with other earphones on the market. For the same interpreting earphones, the performance of Lingxi earphones is better than them in all aspects, and for traditional wireless earphones, Lingxi earphones are better than them. They have an additional function of simultaneous interpretation, and they also have their own characteristics in terms of sound quality and call quality."

Mother Chen talked eloquently, she is not a complete housewife.

As she said, the sound quality of Lingxi earphones is very good. After all, this earphone needs to translate the voices of multiple people at the same time, and feedback the translated content to the user in layers.

If the sound quality level is not clear, when there are many people speaking foreign languages ​​around, the translation voice heard by the user will be like a mass of mixed paste, and it is impossible to tell what is being said.

Father Chen picked up his rice bowl, picked up a few mouthfuls of food, and said, "You are right, from a technical and practical point of view, equipment such as translators will indeed be eliminated sooner or later, it's just the speed of elimination. "

As he said that, Father Chen turned his head to look at God Chen: "God, how long do you think translators can exist in the market based on the current trend?"

Chen Shen kept talking, savoring his mother's long-lost cooking skills, and said: "In my opinion, there is no need for the third generation of Lingxi translator. As long as we complete the mutual translation of different languages, it will soon be used by Lingxi Headphones instead."

"How to say?" Father Chen stopped the chopsticks in his hand and listened carefully to his son's analysis.

"It's a very simple thing. If we have completed the mutual translation of languages ​​​​in the world, Germans can put on our headphones and translate the language they hear into German. The same is true for French people. All mainstream languages ​​​​in the world can communicate with each other. If you translate it, then the Lingxi earphones in the tourism market are no longer limited to tourists." Chen Shen said casually while eating.

Father Chen is a smart man, he immediately realized what God Chen meant!

"You mean, by then everyone in the travel industry will be wearing our headsets? Be our customers?"

Father Chen's mind was spinning quickly, "When the time comes, in major tourist cities, whether it is the merchants who provide services or the tourists who enjoy the services, both the supply and demand sides will have to wear our earphones, so that we will become a bridge between the two parties. communication platform!"

The translation needs of tourism service providers is a market that has not been explored in depth. If it can achieve the level Chen Shen said, then Angular will be the only player in this market!

"That's right." Chen Shen nodded.

"However, if we want to achieve this, we need to add the language training subject of Bai Ze's translation."

The model training of AI translation requires the use of a large amount of control corpus as the training data set.

Domestic companies like Feixun use at least hundreds of millions of corpus for Chinese-English translation.

If you want to translate small languages, then you have to ask someone to produce or collect the corpus, and the cost is calculated in tens of millions.

So if you want to achieve the global language intercommunication in his mouth, the cost is a big obstacle.

Even if the data required for Baize training is much lower than that of other AI models, it is estimated that to achieve mutual translation between two languages, the cost will start at two to three million.

But for Chen's father, this cost is not a problem.

"Add!" Chen's father was very bold, "What German and French, all arranged!"

Seeing his father's excited look, Chen Shen just shook his head, poured himself a bowl of soup, and watched his mother start to count down.

"Eat with peace of mind!" Chen's mother glared impatiently at Chen's father who was in agitation, and then put her gaze on his bowl.

Father Chen trembled, his excited expression disappeared, and he silently picked up his job and ate honestly.

Chen Shen took a sip of the soup made by his mother: "Mom, the soup you made is really delicious!"

"Well! My son is still good!"

After the pre-sale ended, the Lingxi translator and Lingxi earphones were quickly delivered to various consumers.

Unsurprisingly, it has received a lot of praise, especially in terms of translation accuracy and Lingxi earphones.

It's just that these good reviews don't help the sales much, and the Lingxi translator still looks half dead...

This also allows Feixun and other companies to temporarily breathe a sigh of relief.
