Chapter 714 714: AI Investment Competition

After handling everything in New Zealand, Chen Yiyang flew back to Lin'an.Mainly because Double Eleven is coming soon, and although Yiyang Flash Sale is not a shopping platform, it has collaborated with Jindong to participate in this Double Eleven.

For this, a team from Jindong has also been sent to Lin'an to communicate.

In addition to communicating with Yiyang Flash Sale, this team also needs to collaborate with the newly established company on Chen Yiyang's side.

This new company is called Yiyang Intelligence, and its main business is to provide AI support features to some enterprises. It is a company created jointly by Chen Yiyang and Wen Liangfeng.

The company's goal is to strive to apply DeepSeek's AI models to more fields, and at the same time, generate revenue for DeepSeek to earn some money, so that DeepSeek won't end up like GPT, having to rely on shady ways to make money.

"According to current consumer habits, the items they want to buy during the Double Eleven shopping festival have actually been browsed countless times on shopping platforms long before.

Therefore, our AI tools can help users automatically generate a shopping list, and all the items on the list are ones the customers have considered purchasing or are interested in.

Moreover, these items are calculated by AI to be the cheapest available.

This way, customers don't have to spend time comparing, filtering, and calculating prices, they simply need to press a button to fulfill their entire Double Eleven shopping needs."

In the meeting room, people from Yiyang Intelligence and Jindong were in communication.

Chen Yiyang and Wen Liangfeng were hiding in the corner, chatting casually.

Their presence was to show the importance of this collaboration with Jindong, but the specifics of the cooperation didn't require their involvement, as everything had been predetermined.

So Chen Yiyang complained to Wen Liangfeng,

"Honestly, in the past, Double Eleven was all about starting shopping at midnight on the day itself.

Double Eleven literally meant November 11th.

Now, Jindong starts their event on October 9th, five days earlier than last year. Right after National Day, it's directly Double Eleven.

Douyin is even more outrageous, seamlessly transitioning into Double Eleven after Mid-Autumn promotions, the promotional cycle is almost sixty days.

Even Taobao, which didn't extend the shopping time before, started promotions a month early this time.

Might as well rename it Double Eleven Shopping Month, it's just ridiculous."

Wen Liangfeng listened to Chen Yiyang's casual complaint and replied seriously, "This is called 'diminishing marginal utility' in economics. When promotions become routine, the effect of individual promotions naturally weakens gradually.

Moreover, the original promotions for Double Eleven were to fill the lack of major festivals for promotions in November.

But after platforms discovered the usefulness of this artificial shopping festival, not only have they lengthened the Double Eleven time, but they've also created several other artificial shopping festivals like the 618 event, New Year's promotions, etc.

So, the initial idea of Double Eleven is meaningless now because every platform basically holds promotions every month of the year.

The so-called Double Eleven now serves more as a reminder that November's salary has arrived, time to spend."

"Only when people spend money will platforms become competitive," Chen Yiyang said. "Why not create a holiday festival, where there's simply no festivity, just because this month feels right for a break, and then give employees a holiday."

"Why are you telling me this?" Wen Liangfeng laughed at Chen Yiyang's words, "You're the big boss, why don't you start one?"

"I think it might actually work." Chen Yiyang thought for a moment, and indeed November lacks legitimate holidays.

He might as well create a holiday festival during Double Eleven.

"Let me see." Chen Yiyang looked at his phone and found that Double Eleven happens to be Tuesday.

Might as well take Monday and Tuesday off, combined with the weekend, it's a perfect four-day break.

Chen Yiyang didn't think taking two days off would lose him much money.

His many businesses, especially those that earn the most.

Taking a few days off wouldn't affect business.

Besides, taking holidays doesn't mean the whole company shuts down completely, essential positions can adjust vacations, like moving the days to Thursday and Friday, then also enjoying a four-day break with the weekend.

"Decided." Chen Yiyang thought, considering the North American government has been shutdown for weeks without issues, his company taking two days off seems reasonable too.

"Really going to create a holiday festival?" Wen Liangfeng asked Chen Yiyang.

"Create one." Chen Yiyang already decided, "Double Eleven is still Singles Day, tell them it's two days off for singles to find partners, and for those with partners to enjoy some couple time."

After saying this, Chen Yiyang sent a message to his assistant, conveying his decision and asking the assistant to start planning the holiday.

"Then I'll take two days off too." Wen Liangfeng was delighted, saying directly, "Just got busy recently, time to rest two days."

"What have you been busy with?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously.

"A team hosted an AI model investment competition, and after the competition ended, we optimized some details of DeepSeek based on each AI's performance in the competition."

"AI doing investments?" Chen Yiyang was very interested and asked, "What's the specifics?"

Seeing Chen Yiyang's interest, Wen Liangfeng explained the specifics.

A team gathered six AIs domestically and abroad and let them simulate investments in the real market, observing whose data came out best.

Wen Liangfeng also showed Chen Yiyang the investment logic of each AI.

Only then did Chen Yiyang realize that the behavioral logic differences between AIs were even bigger than among humans.

These AIs all have distinct styles.

Among the six AIs, the worst performer was GPT, consistently losing money every day, and it wasn't long before the initial capital dwindled to only twenty to thirty percent of its original value.

The main reason being, GPT excels in tech flow, and when it comes to investing, it set a bunch of incomprehensible prerequisites.

Having set those, it invested heavily in random virtual currencies.

The result was, of course, a total blood bath, losing money on everything it invested in.

Making many people feel that investing contrary to GPT might actually earn some.

Google's AI model Gemini was of the nitpicking type.

Even if it was just a dollar of profit, it would go for it.

This resulted in Gemini having the most transactions among all AI models, basically trading crazily every day.

Then.

Whether any money was made from investments was another matter; just the transaction fees alone deducted over a thousand US Dollars.

DeepSeek, managed by Wen Liangfeng, was opposite to Gemini's style.

DeepSeek only made thirteen trades in total and achieved the record for the most profitable single trade, nearly fifteen hundred US Dollars.

Originally DeepSeek was leading, but unexpectedly, in the later stages, Ah Li's AI model Qwen caught up and surpassed.
