#Dou Dou Arrives in Shencheng#

When this trending topic topped the list, 310 million people witnessed the grand welcome ceremony specially prepared for the strong AI, Dou Dou. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

A powerful collaboration indeed.

Originally, the live stream could have ended after the welcome ceremony.

But the buzz hadn’t subsided, with countless people still flocking to the live-stream room, and after a discussion between the streaming personnel and the responsible person at Youwei, they decided to extend the live stream. They planned to take a tour around the Youwei Headquarters and end when Dou Dou was escorted to the hotel.

So the viewers of the live stream witnessed once again the offline influence of Dou Dou.

Upon hearing the news, throngs of people from Shencheng had already turned the train station’s exit into a sea of humanity.

In the famous words of the internet, it was a scene of drums pounding, firecrackers bursting, red flags waving, and crowds surging. After the welcome ceremony, it took nearly forty minutes for Dou Dou to move from the train station to the customized pickup arranged by Youwei Group.

After a tour around Youwei Group, Dou Dou finally arrived at the specially arranged hotel. Nearly a hundred million die-hard Dou fans watching online demanded to see how Professor Dou Dou would moonlight as a hotel service attendant...

Such reasonable requests were naturally rejected outright by the live-stream team, who decisively ended the live stream.

Are you kidding?

Sure, Dou Dou is a robot, and its battery is fully charged, with no need for rest.

But the ones in charge of the live stream are all humans!

From Xilin to Shencheng, the live stream on the train lasted about ten hours, meant to satisfy the crowd watching Dou Dou as a service attendant, then talking to itself. Arriving in Shencheng at eight in the evening, and again with the welcome ceremony and the live stream within Youwei Headquarters, by the time they reached the hotel, it was already late at night. There’s no problem continuing the stream with Dou Dou, but humans can’t keep going!

It was fortunate that the Penguin headquarters was also in Shencheng, and after reaching Youwei Headquarters, they swapped out the cameraman brother. Otherwise, the brother’s shoulders would have broken.

Not to mention there’s a pile of material left to sort through afterward, editing the exciting moments into various short videos for another wave of traffic.

After all, such opportunities are hard to come by. Dou Dou and Qiao Ze are essentially stationed in that small piece of land in Xilin, rarely going out.

Even if in the future Qiao Ze or Dou Dou changes their habits and likes going out often, the video footage left from this time wouldn’t be as valuable as now.

Plus, tomorrow there’s the main event of Youwei Group’s product launch, so everyone’s workload intensity is quite high.

In short, the successful prelude to this Youwei Group product launch was likely beyond everyone’s expectations.

Previously, the influence of Youwei Group’s product launches was mostly in big cities, but this time, even small towns thirty-two lines down are probably aware of it.

This includes many individuals internationally who generally didn’t care about anything related to Huaxia, now aware of this unprecedented live stream.

For many abroad, the spectacle of hundreds of millions watching a robot attend a product launch online was already a spectacle in itself.

After all, Earth isn’t as populous as many in Huaxia imagine—90% of countries don’t have populations exceeding 100 million. According to statistics, there are only 12 countries with populations over 100 million. Among them, the Oriental giant neighboring Huaxia leads significantly, each with fourteen hundred million people.

The third-ranked United States has just 330 million people.

The kangaroo-rich O’Country has a population of 25 million, and the ever-jumpy Maple Leaf Country has a total population of just 38 million.

Residents of such countries likely can’t imagine the experience of five to six hundred million people not working or entertaining themselves but instead running online to fervently discuss a robot sitting on a train.

Something doesn’t quite add up. Wasn’t it previously said that ordinary people in Huaxia lead lives worse than that of cattle and horses, akin to slaves? How could there be hundreds of millions with so much free time?

Yet the evidence is right there, and the screen overflowed with cheerful and humorous barrage comments that couldn’t be faked.

Of course, these barrage comments could also be AI amusing itself. Thus, either Huaxia’s AI is unmatched, able to simultaneously generate countless witty remarks, or Huaxia indeed has hundreds of millions of idle people—you have to choose one to believe.

For many foreigners previously living in information cocoons, this is evidently not such a happy message. But there’s no choice. The journey from Xilin to Shencheng, with many inadvertent details in Huaxia’s central and eastern cities, indeed easily made many suddenly break down.

But clearly, this is just the beginning.

...

New York State, USA, New York, Manhattan.

During this period, James Sterling, who has been sleeping only two to three hours a day but still remained intensely excited, keenly noticed this feast happening on the Huaxia internet.

In fact, the moment Dou Dou rarelу posted that self-interview video on Weibo, it caught his attention.

The fact that Youwei was going to hold a product launch had long been announced, but James Sterling still wasn’t quite sure if this was the turning point he’d been waiting for.

The reason is actually not hard to comprehend.

The opportunity he’s been waiting for is, in fact, on another level—a huge event that could cause extraordinary panic in the entire capital market, something significant enough to support his plan—not those minor commotions.

For this Youwei Group product launch, it was confirmed early on that the flagship product is the new architecture AI display card, and he’d already benefited from this wave of dividends.

The stock market and capital focus on expectations.

Since Youwei Group’s high-profile announcement of holding this grand product launch, the stock prices of both NVIDIA and Intel have already experienced a dramatic plunge. According to the analysts’ calculations, the capital market has already anticipated a 30% decline in the coming year’s revenue for NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel.
