True Face

After attending the birthday banquet, they left the next day due to other arrangements.

  Traveling back to London, An Feng and Joanna attended the foundation meeting in the spare time in the afternoon. With the filling of funds, the foundation can accumulate more funds for charity, and because of its rule of not soliciting donations from the society, the nature of foundation charity is purer.

Of course, it is impossible to ignore that there are also preferential tax policies here, but at least the donation is a good deed. The Elizabeth Foundation is currently funding five medical research projects, two of which have achieved results. They contribute to society without seeking profit, and have won unanimous praise. His reputation is also rising.

   Conventionally, Joanna continued to donate.

   This time the amount reached a billion dollars. She plans to use the profits from this fund to invest in medical research, and perhaps they will cooperate with the famous biological research centers in the United States. One billion US dollars is used in reasonable investment, and the annual rate of return is also 10%, and the profit can enjoy tax exemption or low tax rate.

  Accumulated, the foundation currently has 2.2 billion US dollars in funds.

Donating so much is mainly due to Joanna's decision. An Feng has no objection. Anyway, the tax issue has been bothering him since he became rich. Besides, he has a child recently, the scope of activities has become smaller, and the behavior of burning money has decreased. Donations are also the most direct way to avoid taxes.

   Anyway, doing good deeds is better than handing over to the government... This is An Feng's idea.

Such a large-scale donation cannot be concealed by keeping a low profile, not to mention that the foundation did not intend to keep a low profile. They announced the news and expressed their gratitude to the Dame, followed by reports in the society. People admired Joanna's charitable deeds , also lamented her ability to burn money.

   This allowed the fans to see the power of the proprietress. Burning money on the team can be regarded as a rational investment, but donating it for nothing is a kind of strength—the strength that is not short of money. Therefore, in the discussion of the Premier League bosses, Joanna's popularity is undoubtedly the first.

Abu who can burn money, the big local tycoon Mansour, and other rich people feel a bit dwarfed by her. When it comes to burning money in the future, I guess no one dares to confront the female boss of Liverpool. To throw a billion in one breath, it feels like dealing with waste paper.

  …

  After staying for a few days, they returned to the United States.

Anfeng is more concerned about his family now, but there are also some things that need to be taken care of, such as the Green Earth Plan that has been discussed frequently recently. The focus of everyone's attention is on the Green Earth Company that proposed the plan. They have successfully made the environment of Dubai and Qatar improve.

Although the modified environment is different from the natural growth, the earthy yellow places in the Middle East can add grass and trees, improve the environment, resist wind and sand, and have fresh water resources that can be used to the fullest. Compared with before, it is the difference between heaven and hell. The shock is self-evident.

  At present, Qatar has signed a large contract of 5 billion U.S. dollars with Green Earth Company, and is preparing to redecorate the surrounding area before the World Cup. Several surrounding Arab countries were not far behind, and seized the opportunity. The total contract value reached 20 billion, which is definitely a big deal.

According to the company's profitability, although it is not high, the net profit margin is also 10%, and one billion of the tens of billions of bills is pure profit. Compared with other industries, the company is also reaping wealth while contributing to the earth. A win-win situation makes them It has been well received and has become a positive image of society.

  After the word-of-mouth came out, the company got more long-term orders, both in Asia and America. The contracts are usually more than five years, and some involve more than ten years later. The amount is large, but the pressure is also great. This kind of business is not a one-off, and regular maintenance is required after the completion of the business, and the logistical work is also very heavy.

  An Feng participated in several meetings, but he usually lacks patience when it comes to talking about details. Later, he will let the professional managers recommended by the consortium handle it. His team is responsible for communication, and he only needs the final result. This method is the simplest, but it will affect the efficiency of some companies.

  …

  In November, news came from Dezhou that Anfeng's custom smart has been completed.

  He went there in person, and the R&D team also discussed the main issues with him. Song Wenrui said: "The basic equipment has been prepared, but it has not been officially launched. The smart memory area is still blank, and other senses and peripheral equipment have not yet been activated. It can be said to be brand new."

"It is like a newborn child, and it will be affected by various acquired influences during its operation." Tian Hao also said, "Considering that it is your personal order, Mr. An, we cannot have any influence on it, only you to operate and guide it to build an understanding of the world."

   "Good job!" An Feng was very satisfied, "Enjoy your future vacation, pioneers of artificial intelligence!"

  Everyone applauds, An Feng's words are the greatest affirmation of the results.

Afterwards, An Feng gave them bonuses. First, they distributed the unused research funds. There were more than 30 people involved in the research and development, sharing 50 million US dollars in funds. The main characters, such as Song Wenrui, the team leader, received a bonus of more than 3 million. Other participants also have rewards ranging from one to two million.

This group of people were the first to follow An Feng. Several of them joined the GP company before it was established. They belonged to the senior level. They are also rich, and the rewards are very generous.

  An Feng also held a small celebration party to reward everyone and mark the end of smart research and development. In the future, in a wider field, it may not pass through the hands of humans. Song Wenrui and others have made great contributions in this regard, and they have made GP company lead the world too much.

After    finished, An Feng arranged for a plane to send the machine back.

  The volume of the unit is not small. The largest is the quantum computer, which has the weight of four or five refrigerators, but the core is not large. The main reason is that it needs a low temperature environment, which is equivalent to maintaining a large refrigerator at minus 15 degrees Celsius, and the volume is required. In addition, there are bionic computers, sensory systems, and input and output devices... With the help of professionals from GP, they are installed in the basement of Anfeng's mansion.

  After the installation is complete, An Feng, who entered the technical house mode, started debugging.

  First of all, it is testing equipment, which is not a big problem, and then it is a trial run, and the result is OK... Finally, he faced some unimportant, but very meaningful problems.

   "What do you think it should be called?" An Feng asked Joanna who was beside him. His name was just like that, Xiao Hei Xiao Bai, Er Tiao Fa Cai...

  Joanna rested her chin and thought: "Since it is the beginning of intelligence, we have to use related vocabulary... Eve, what do you think?"

   "Human mother?" An Feng thought for a while, "That's right, why didn't I think of it!"

   "You are stupid!" Joanna nodded his head with her finger.

  An Feng smiled: "The next item, what about the sound output? I don't want to use the original electronic synthesis."

   "Then you have to find a voice actor, usually a female voice." Joanna said.

   "Whose voice is the best..." An Feng thought for a while, and his eyes lit up: "What do you think of Angela on the phone?"

   "Her? Very good!" Joanna nodded.

"It's her." An Feng said that since his first phone assistant retired, Angela with a beautiful voice has always played an important role. Talk to the woman you met, ask for her advice and help.

  An Feng picked up his phone and dialed a number: "Hi, Angela!"

   "Hi, Mr. An, great to hear your voice again." Angela's voice was still a little playful, and it sounded soft and relaxing.

   "Me too." An Feng said with a smile, "There is one thing I want to discuss with you."

   "Go ahead, sir."

   "I like your voice." An Feng said.

   "Thank you." She said softly.

   "So, I plan to ask you to come and record some voices for me, specifically..." An Feng said something, "Are you interested?"

  Thinking for a few seconds over there, a voice came: "Okay, sir."

   "Well, look forward to our meeting." An Feng said.

  After seeing him hang up the phone, Joanna asked a question they had discussed a long time ago: "What do you think Angela looks like?"

   "I can't guess." An Feng shook his head, "Anyway, her real person is about to appear."

  …

  The agreed time was two days later, and Angela arrived in Santa Barbara on time.

  She drives a red BMW coupe, which is in line with this income class. The salary An Feng paid her is not low. A male servant took her to the front of the building, An Feng and Joanna greeted her at the door, and they were more curious about the real Angela.

Walking towards them was a white woman in her early thirties, taller, with a typical Western Yangma figure, with short wine red hair, two earrings, heavy makeup, dark eye shadow and Dark lipstick and dressed like a rock diva.

   Her crisp and sharp character can be seen in her clothes, with a coat and trousers, and a pair of black high-top boots. She walked up to An Feng and stretched out her hand to him: "Mr. An!"

   "I'm glad you're here." An Feng shook hands with her, "You look a little different from what I imagined."

   "Oh?" She laughed, "Is it a bit of an impression of a well-behaved girl next door?"

   "Yes." An Feng nodded, "Neither Joanna nor I guessed that you will have a completely different style in reality."

   "So I don't want to meet each other, for fear of ruining my good impression." She said with a smile.

   "No, it's fine for you to be like this, an independent and free woman." An Feng said, "This way please, let's go into the room and talk."

  Angela is taller than Joanna, if she is thinner, she will be a standard supermodel figure. Different from her somewhat fierce appearance, her personality is soft, and her realistic voice is as moving as on the phone. An Feng didn't mind the difference between real appearance and imagination, he mainly wanted Angela to help.

An Feng explained: "Because the data is relatively large, the work may last for several months or even half a year. Of course, I will pay the salary according to the price of the first-line seiyuu, and there is also a bonus. If you think it is okay, I will be happy to send you voice is preserved."

  After thinking about it, Angela nodded: "I will try my best."
