- Due to the staff structure, Christmas is an important holiday for Wesson Technology, and the research and development tasks are heavy. Very few non-Chinese researchers will go back this year. Most of them are relatives coming to visit. However, Li Zhuang never thought that Thomas would come over to join in the fun, and after being surprised, he made him a cup of coffee.
Thomas reached out and took it, "It seems you don't have many software experts here, and the level of AI researchers is even less good. They are much behind us."
??Li Zhuang is resentful and would never attack someone when he opens his mouth. However, the two of them communicate a lot and are now considered acquaintances, so they don't bother to argue.
The guest seemed not to see the host's expression and spoke to himself, "I'm good at software and ultra-precision processing. Although I'm not as good as you in automation, I'm better than Dr. Bei. If you are willing to accept me, in the future, Wesson Technology's automation and computer Don¡¯t worry about the software.¡±
Li Zhuang smiled bitterly, "We were slapped hard by Washington two months ago. Now it is not suitable to recruit talents with special experience like you."
Thomas immediately became interested and asked questions again and again. Li Zhuang told the story briefly, and finally said bitterly: "Their undercover actually negotiated in person, which made the company management very angry."
Thomas laughed, "I think you can't keep it on your face. After all, it goes against the traditional concept that Chinese people work for white people. In fact, it's normal. There are a lot of white people working for us here, and there are all kinds of people in the intelligence community. Let's talk about it. , when will you accept me? My technical circle is very strong. If I join, it will be enough for Wesson Technology to achieve a qualitative improvement in the short term."
Li Zhuang thought for a while, "Tom, otherwise, United Technologies has many advanced R&D orders. If you have time, you can help me with some R&D, which can at least increase some income, okay?"
Thomas was silent for a moment, "Okay, I will take care of the details. What about the others?"
Li Zhuang said: "I am studying AI, but there are some problems with the software. If you can help me find some AI research progress, especially in universities and large companies, I will be very grateful."
Thomas said: "I am also studying AI, but I am mainly focusing on software implementation. My current level is pretty good. How about we compare notes?"
Li Zhuang was speechless, "I'm not as good as you in software, so give up. What's my problem?"
Thomas took a sip of coffee proudly, "You don't even know where I live. In the field of AI theoretical research, MIT is the king. Although the project progress of large companies is unknown, it is impossible to exceed the level of theoretical research. Don't worry, I will I will summarize it for you regularly, with a little effort. By the way, I have some technical questions to ask you."
Li Zhuang was stunned that this guy could be so humble. "You can tell me. As long as I can tell you, I will tell you everything."
Thomas then told the details, and Li Zhuang couldn¡¯t laugh or cry after hearing it. It turned out to be a smart toy. Unexpectedly, this guy was actually interested in the toy. Too lazy to care, we had a great time chatting together. The topic of the two gradually deviated and focused on system architecture and basic design.
Before he knew it, lunch time came, and Thomas immediately stopped chatting and prepared to eat. The two of them left the office one after another and went straight to the company canteen.
"Azhuang, who is in front of you?" Miao Xingyan followed.
Li Zhuang whispered: "There is a high-ranking expert who used to work in the special department. He is quite arrogant and doesn't know how to speak. Don't take the initiative to strike up a conversation, otherwise he will definitely make a fuss."
Miao Xingyan chuckled, "I feel a little scared when I see him like that. It's best not to offend him if possible."
"What are you talking about?" Thomas turned around and said, "Don't bully me for not knowing Chinese. I'm learning it and it will be fine next year. When it comes to language talent, few people can compare with me."
Li Zhuang and Miao Xingyan looked at each other, thinking of Ackerman and Zhang Mingde, the company's two bt-level language masters, and laughed together.
Thomas was stunned, "Has anyone else said this? Who is it? I want to compete with him."
Li Zhuang immediately picked up the phone and called Ackerman and Zhang Mingde, telling them to meet in the cafeteria. He was speaking in English, Thomas could hear clearly, his face was full of excitement and he was gearing up.
¡¡
Li Zhuang didn¡¯t know the result of the competition, nor was he interested. Anyway, Thomas left with regret and excitement, but he left behind some valuable items that can¡¯t be found online.
Comrade Li Zhuang, who has been staying in China, sadly found that in terms of software, only encryption, cad and cam seemed to be up to the first-class level. The others were really not that good and could not compare with the real masters. The world's number one IT power is not just saying that, even a person of Thomas's level can make him feel pressured. Although he is a master, he can only reach the first or second level in terms of software. Taking advantage of everything is a big taboo in research. It seems that in the future, we can only focus on AI and robots.
¡°When you are under pressure, you will spend more time thinking about it,¡±The nickname "Boss Dumb" quickly became popular. "Brother Qi" took the lead in shouting. The upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. His subordinates imitated the same, and if you consider the homophony, it is very appropriate. Li Zhuang is too lazy to care. In addition to doing research, he just teaches students. All matters should be handled by the high-level joint meeting and the laboratory management joint meeting, and occasionally read relevant tidbits.
With the support of thousands of senior researchers and several times that number of application engineers, wlfs has made progress almost every month. It is now one of the top companies in the industry and has established cooperative relationships with more than a dozen equipment manufacturers.
After the Electric Vehicle Alliance Conference, hybrid and electric vehicles quickly became popular, and the construction of charging stations was accelerated. Power grid companies in various countries conducted a lot of research on fast charging technology, and the technology was improving day by day. Small chemical fuel suppliers build power plants, while large ones are grateful that the earth cannot live without oil and coal, and other industries such as plastics and chemicals have strong demand.
The innovation of automobile power technology has also brought about talent migration. A large number of talents engaged in automobile engine and gearbox research suddenly lost their jobs. Battery engineers and electrical engineers have become popular high-paying professions. United Technologies has recruited a large number of talents in precision machining from Europe and North America to enrich the research capabilities of the headquarters. wlfs gradually consolidated its position, and Wesson Automation benefited incidentally.
Automation and precision machining are Lizhuang¡¯s specialty, and both Wesson Automation and wlfs are directly affiliated companies. Unlike the worried executives of Wesson Technology, he knew the details of wlfs and had the ability to interfere with its operation, so he didn't take it to heart. After adjusting the layout, focus on the brain.
Tian Xinmin¡¯s level of technology transactions is first-class, which is of course related to his long time in Citigroup. The transaction between Wesson Technology and the Pentagon was completed smoothly. After obtaining the information, first digest the 3D memristor chip technology. A group of people in the Basic Physics Laboratory were busy and it took half a month to figure out the details. The technical information is very authentic. Perhaps the Pentagon has considered that there are many experts here and is afraid of being laughed at for being fake. There is a limit to its dominance.
The digestion went smoothly. The Basic Physics Laboratory improved the memristor based on its own research and improved the production process and mass production control. Although HP's memristor chip is already on the market, Li Zhuang feels that it is not perfect enough and is unwilling to use easily available commercial products if possible, so he wants to obtain the core technical information and use the laboratory-affiliated factory to produce it.
HP gained a lot from this transaction. United Technologies made a black market transaction with them, exchanged a number of important technologies that they could use, and purchased a number of general-purpose servers. Wesson Technology continued to expand, and the legal department hired some more people, registered patents everywhere, and transferred the transfers from researchers to the company.
The position of Taiwanese researchers in basic physics laboratories has been firmly established, both in research and development and manufacturing. Due to its increasing scale, the factory affiliated to the Basic Physics Laboratory was officially registered in early November. Liang Can lost the dice throw, and Wang Shuangcheng proudly splashed ink and hung a plaque with the name "K City Chengcan Optoelectronics Co., Ltd." with his own hands. However, neither of them are good at business, so they can only be the factory director and deputy director.
Chengcan Optoelectronics covers an area of ??more than 30 acres, and the factory buildings are all three-story frame structures. The electronics industry does not have as large equipment as the mechanical industry, and the vibration is small. In comparison, the factories attached to the precision machining laboratory and the intelligent production laboratory were much worse off and were driven to the edge of the park because the large precision punches and grinders were very noisy when working, and the box-type heat treatment hot standby required independent power supply.
Chengcan Optoelectronics has been designed according to the highest level of optoelectronics factories from the beginning. It is well-equipped and has applied a number of advanced technologies developed in basic physics laboratories. Li Zhuang personally designed the automated production process and used a set of a40 manufacturing expert system plus four speakers to control the dust-free workshop equipped with ultra-precision processing equipment.
In terms of ultra-precision laser positioning technology, the laser engineering project team found that the technology provided by Citigroup was a bit tricky, but the problem was not big. Maybe they did not study it thoroughly. The project team gathered by experts used self-developed mature technology to make improvements and successfully met the requirements put forward by Lizhuang.
There are many companies that make optoelectronic components, and there are a large number of high-quality products on the market. However, after careful consideration, the purchasing department decided to customize them from top manufacturers and research institutes, because there are life requirements, and they are not low.
Wesson Technology has been in contact with many optical communication companies and research institutions. This time they were a little surprised by the purchase request. However, considering the early cooperation and the good price, the management asked top engineers to make it themselves. A large number of components that meet the requirements of Wesson Technology.
In terms of computing cores, although IBM's silicon photonic chips are not very mature, Li Zhuang still wants them. It's a pity that no matter how tempting they are, they just won't let go, so I have no choice but to ask them to provide the best RISC chips.
IBM has sufficient reserves in RISC chips, but many technologies cannot be put into production due to market reasons. It is rare to encounter a competitor who takes advantage of the company and asks a very aggressive price. Zhou Zhihao said bad things and asked Zhou Zhi toSen came forward to intercede through connections and reluctantly settled the matter.
In terms of artificial synapses, Wesson Technology has exchanged patent licenses with many companies and research institutes, but it is not yet very mature and cannot achieve stable batch production. It is temporarily listed in the reserve. The Basic Physics Laboratory has set up a project team to conduct intensive research.
The number of components was so staggering that it took a procurement team of thirty engineers half a year to complete the task. As customized products continue to arrive, the team of inspection engineers has been busy.
The interior decoration above the fifteenth floor of the Hexagonal Building has been in progress. The main pipe is a loudspeaker, and the construction robot is designed by the robot project team. High-efficiency solar panels were installed on the exterior walls. The basic design was completed by the smart home project team. Li Zhuang reviewed the design plan and had the large speakers optimized. Wesson Installation Company was responsible for the specific construction.
Solar panels cause some light pollution, but the campus buildings all use green insulating glass, so the employees did not protest. The lighting channel that Wang Feng asked the Provincial Architectural Design Institute to retain is now in use. The complex optical system reflects the outside sunlight into the interior of the building, reducing the use of fluorescent lamps.
Citigroup did not allow Wesson Technology to build a factory in K City to produce high-efficiency MCSBs, so United Technologies took advantage. WLES is working day and night to build a large-scale factory in Perth to mass-produce various MCSBs with conversion efficiency of 30% to 56%. Canberra was very interested and after seeing the sample display, the public service department placed a batch of orders. There is no news from K City yet, but even if they knew, they might not be interested. That thing is not cheap for the time being, and it is estimated that only owners of high-end electric vehicles will be interested.
The construction of Wesson Technology Park has been ongoing, and the laboratories and administrative buildings have been expanded. Fortunately, the original planning was good and the distance between the buildings was large. Otherwise, the rapid growth of employees would be enough to cause chaos within the company.
The R&D area, administrative area, living area and public area were completely formed a year ago, and the peripheral departments were uniformly moved to the industrial building near the park gate. R&D enterprises have many secrets and must consider keeping them secret. No one protested because everyone knew what was going on.
The security department allocated half of its strength to work in the super estate. Li Bing, who was enjoying himself freely in the early stage, bit the bullet and took the position of deputy manager of the security department of the super estate. Chen Xiaojun didn't escape either. He ran to the super estate every two days. Now he's so numb from flying that he talks endlessly every time he comes back.
The Security Department, which has been divided into half of its strength, still maintains an establishment of 150 people. Since it is a confidential unit and the reputation of Wesson Technology, the province considered and approved the city government's report of allocating guns to all security guards.
The division of labor within the company is clear, and the security department and purchasing department each perform their respective duties. In addition to researching and teaching students, Li Zhuang also went to see the core components being produced by Chengcan Optoelectronics. There is no outsourcing of core components. On the one hand, they are very expensive. On the other hand, engineers from large manufacturers cannot rest assured. There are not many engineers who can surpass the Cheng-Can duo who have worked in large electronics manufacturers for decades, let alone the responsibility. Heart.
"Azhuang, you want more things this time than before. What are you going to do? Don't scare me. If I put more than a ton of top-grade components in the past, you would be killed. Let me tell you a secret. I was embarrassed before. Say. Except for the first batch, which I spent a lot of energy on, the other items you want are all orders received by my old factory, so the profit margin is sufficient."
Li Zhuang was stunned, "Master, you won't be lazy even in testing, right?"
Liang Can laughed loudly, "Am I so wicked? Your master, I tested those things honestly. At that time, we didn't have such advanced equipment as now, and it almost exhausted me to death. You guys have a lot of secrets, I listen to people This batch of things has not been removed from the accounts of the Finance Department. Let¡¯s talk about it. What do you plan to do? Remember, don¡¯t change the subject. I¡¯m tired of your old tricks.¡±
"Want to know? I won't tell you, hahahaha."
The guy pretending to be mysterious enjoyed himself, and the audience frowned. Liang Can waved his hand, "If you don't say no, forget it, let's go eat."
The boss took the lead, and the others followed him out. Liang Sihan hurried a few steps closer, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are you planning to build a giant computer? I think these components are almost enough, and there are still some missing."
"It's almost the same, but my design is different. Some components are not used in my plan."
Li Zhuang was ambiguous. The V-class could be said to be a giant machine. It was terrifying in size. With the current technical level of components, it could only achieve this level. Let alone the design and verification of the integrated chip, the mass production quality and lifespan alone were enough to impress people. Scratching your head.
Liang Sihan was surprised, "The supercomputer project team has achieved results so soon?"
Li Zhuang shook his head, "No, I'm going to verify a design plan. If it succeeds, it can greatly reduce the pressure on the campus server."
Liang Sihan suddenly realized, "It turns out to be a mainframe. Senior brother, you are so awesome. I am so"I've convinced you, there are only a handful of people who can play on mainframes. "
Li Zhuang chuckled, "There is always someone who can make it. There are people who can even make complex nuclear reactors."
"Can I come over to visit after it is completed?" Liang Sihan asked.
Li Zhuang chuckled, "You know the company's confidentiality system."
Liang Sihan stuck out her tongue and walked away quickly. Li Zhuang stared at the slender figure in a daze. He never thought that his junior sister would behave in such a childish manner.
Liang Sihan has changed a lot since she came to the company. Her previous aloofness gradually disappeared. If you are not careful, you still won¡¯t be able to recognize her local accent.
This was unimaginable before, but it is understandable.
Discrimination is a very common behavior, looking down on those who are dumber than oneself, poorer than oneself, or from a worse background than oneself. Wesson Technology is full of knowledgeable people, and Liang Sihan feels that his impressive IQ can only be considered average, and he is very restrained in the laboratory. There is no way, you can't self-hypnotize yourself and think you are better than others. If you hypnotize yourself too much, you will be considered crazy.
Poverty and wealth are an eternal topic. The rich look down on the poor because they live comfortably, unlike the poor who have to struggle for a living and can enjoy higher-grade resources. Wesson Technology¡¯s system determines that employees¡¯ income is much higher than outside.
Employees of enterprises in the industrial zone are therefore very jealous of the peripheral employees of Wesson Technology. Their level is similar, but the income of Wesson employees is more than double.
The Liang family is a well-to-do family in Taiwan, so Liang Sihan naturally doesn¡¯t look down on ordinary people in mainland China who have a worse income than most people in Taiwan. There is no room for these in Wesson Technology, so we have to correct our own ideas.
Whether you are born noble or not is very important to many people because it involves social status and resource allocation. **The gathering of top prestigious schools in Beijing illustrates the importance of power. Are they really that smart? The fact is obvious, whether you can play politics and whether you can take exams are completely different things.
People are animals that like to compare. The main reason is psychological. No one likes to be worse than others. When comparisons are taken to the extreme, they often become perverted and can always find ways to discriminate against others. If they really can't find it, they cover it up with trumped-up charges. Obviously Liang Sihan is not insane. Liang Can and his wife are normal people with good tutors. There is no need to worry about Liang Sihan's personal safety, but his social circle is questionable. Her friends are all in Taiwan, and people come to see her basically every month. No one knows the background of the visitors, and it is difficult to investigate.
"I hope there won't be any trouble. It will put me in a dilemma."
Li Zhuang shook his head, trying his best to drive away the negative emotions, and then walked quickly into the cafeteria. Tomorrow is New Year's Day and the company is on holiday. There are not many people coming to eat, so it's easy to find a seat. The Catering Management Office does an excellent job, and most employees choose to eat in the canteen. The cafeteria that seemed huge before is now a bit crowded. However, this is temporary. The Infrastructure Department is building three new canteens and they will be completed by the end of February. By then, seating will no longer be a problem.
The catering management office has to take care of these details. Li Zhuang didn't bother to think about it. After finishing the meal, he went home and took his son for a walk.
The adults of the community like to walk now, it has become a habit, and the short legs can still run very slowly. Lisa naturally followed. She enjoys life better than her husband, goes to and from get off work on time every day, and rarely goes to the canteen. From this point of view, she has not fully adapted to the dining habits here, and she feels that the Western dishes prepared by the chefs are not authentic enough.
"Where are we going to play tomorrow?" Lisa asked.
Li Zhuang said: "You make up your mind, I don't know. I will follow you wherever you go."
Lisa chuckled, "Can we go shopping in the provincial capital?"
Li Zhuang frowned. There must be too many people in the provincial capital on New Year's Day. Besides, there are still people over there that he doesn't want to see. The bigger Wesson Technology gets, the more frequent the Lin family¡¯s little moves become.
¡°Dad, I¡¯m going to the zoo.¡± Shuangwei hugged her thighs and acted coquettishly.
Li Zhuang chuckled, "Okay, just go and let's have a good time."
¡¡
The provincial capital was crowded with people on New Year¡¯s Day, but Sunway didn¡¯t feel like it. They were so excited that they got carried away. It was already eight o¡¯clock in the evening when the family of three returned to K City.
Li Zhuang was very tired. After taking a shower, he went to the Hexagon Building to check it out before going back to the house and going to bed. The phone rang suddenly, it was Miao Xingyan's, and he was a little confused as to why Miao Miao called so late.
"Xingyan, what's the matter?"
The other end of the phone said word by word, "IBM announced that it has developed the world's first powerful AI based on Ann!"
Li Zhuang¡¯s head banged, and he asked with some difficulty: ¡°Are you sure?¡±
Miao Xingyan said firmly: "There is news on the Internet, take a look."
Li Zhuang hung up the phone numbly and said to himself, "It's going to be lively soon."
