Mr. Li, curious, asked, “Mr. Yan Fei, what kind of program is this Dream Assistant?”

Yan Fei replied, “The Dream Assistant is actually a mobile assistant that can help users manage their smartphones.”

Upon hearing Yan Fei's explanation, everybody started to ponder. As manufacturers of Chinese smartphones, they all used the Android System, which was open-source from the United States of America. They would then optimize this open-source system further, so naturally, they all had their own mobile assistants.

Though these mobile assistants didn't directly make them money, they were a way to control the user's mobile phone software and usage habits. They would guide the traffic accordingly toward their advertising clients to make money indirectly. To achieve this, users' phones would be filled with many rogue software programs, inherently present, impossible to uninstall or shut down, secretly operating at all times and causing substantial losses to the users.

At least half of the smartphone manufacturers present derived their main operating profits not from phone sales but from pre-installed rogue software and mobile assistants that controlled the users' phones to make money. Therefore, for them, the mobile assistant was their profit core, and they would not allow Yan Fei to enter this market. They also quietly realized that with the introduction of the Dream Assistant, Dream Technology was very likely to enter the smartphone business.

Mr. Wang commented, “Mr. Yan Fei, I'm sure you've heard the saying, 'Different trades, different tricks.' Dream Technology hasn't engaged in software writing business before, how can you be sure that your mobile assistant will meet the users' needs?”

Yan Fei responded, “We used to produce only Weight Loss Cookies and cosmetics, without any experience in researching super high-energy battery or studying the treatments for AIDS and cancer. Yet, that didn't stop us from developing the world's most powerful super high-energy battery and equipment to treat incurable diseases. If there must be a reason for this, it's because we have the world's most formidable research team.”

Mr. Li remarked, “Mr. Yan Fei, we fully trust the strength of your research team since they have created numerous miracles and proven themselves. However, there are many mobile assistants on the market that already occupy most of the market, and users are accustomed to their usage models. If your mobile assistant can't provide a novel experience for the users, it might negatively impact our mobile phone sales and affect the sales of Dream Technology's super high-energy battery too!”

Yan Fei said with a smile, “As long as you believe in the strength of our research team, that's enough. Perhaps I didn't make it clear earlier, but our Dream Assistant isn't the common type of mobile assistant you're familiar with; it's a high-intelligence voice assistant.”

Mr. Wang was taken aback and said, “A voice assistant? Many smartphones have voice assistants already. Our own smartphones also feature voice assistant functions.”

Yan Fei declared, “I've used your voice assistants, and to speak frankly, it's crap and cannot bring any pleasure to the users.”

Mr. Wang's face showed a tinge of embarrassment, understanding in his heart that their voice assistants were mainly gimmicks and could not actually perform language operations; they were merely advertised selling points.

Boss Liu, who had been deep in thought, asked, “Mr. Yan Fei, since you find the voice assistants on the market so inadequate, I believe your voice assistant must have employed some advanced technology, is that correct?”

Yan Fei gave a slight smile and said, “When I controlled the lights in this room and the screen earlier, whom did you think I was talking to?”

Mr. Ren was startled and said, “Wasn't it to your secretary?”

Yan Fei replied, “No, the one I was speaking to just now wasn't any person, but my voice assistant. I've given it a name, called 'Dream.'”

Everyone was surprised, only then realizing that the one executing Yan Fei's commands was a voice assistant. It not only perfectly recognized the meaning in Yan Fei's voice but also carried out actual operations without any mistakes. Could it be that Dream Technology had advanced so much in the field of voice assistants?

Yan Fei noticed the curiosity of the executives below, yet he chose not to explain further but instead turned to Boss Liu and said, “Boss Liu, you're from Bashan, aren't you?”

Boss Liu replied, “Yes, my family has been in Bashan for generations.”

Yan Fei inquired, “I hear Boss Liu can speak the Bashan Dialect?”

Boss Liu, somewhat proud, said, “Bashan is my hometown, I naturally speak the local dialect.”

Yan Fei said with a smile, “Then please cooperate with me, Boss Liu, let us conduct an experiment together.”

Boss Liu stood up and said, “Of course, what should I do for this experiment?”

Yan Fei instructed, “Dream, please begin listening to what Boss Liu says and recognize the meaning in his words.”

A naive child's voice suddenly appeared, saying, “Okay, Mr. Yan Fei.”

This was the first time everyone heard “Dream” speak, and to their surprise, it had the voice of a child; moreover, it spoke like a human being, without the mechanical and hollow sound of a robot.
