Cultivate a black technology god

Chapter 4 Lobbying to keep people
Xia Zhi came to the supervisor's office, and the supervisor smiled and asked Xia Zhi to sit down.

This is the first time that Xia Zhi has had close contact with a supervisor. From the beginning of his employment to the present, except for occasional encounters in the company, the two have never met each other.

The supervisor told Xia Zhi not to be cautious, and praised the company for having a research-oriented talent like Xia Zhi, which was a real treasure.

It turned out that Xia Zhi contributed to SCI, and the company also received a receipt.

Although the final result has not yet come out, members of the company's R&D department gave Xia Zhi a very high evaluation.

He said that the publication of these papers will definitely cause a sensation in the machine learning academic circle.

Xia Zhi modestly said that he was lucky, and came up with this cute model by chance.

The supervisor laughed:

"Academics never pay attention to luck. Can you say that Einstein's momentary inspiration is luck? Also, in Cao Yuan's paper published on Nature some time ago, it was luck that graphene would produce superconducting effect at a specific angle. Okay? That is a positive qualitative change brought about by long-term accumulation of knowledge and keen insight into the development of disciplines.”

Xia Zhi sighed that he was an executive after all, but his level of speaking was different, and the praise was really comfortable.

The supervisor added:
"According to the regulations, you can share 4% of the profits generated by the company's use of your model in the future. In addition, as an exception, your position level will be raised from p6 to p[-], and your job position will also be adjusted. You will no longer need to be in the development department. , the senior R&D department has arranged a position for you."

Xia Zhi said with some embarrassment:
"Thanks to the supervisor, but in fact, I plan to resign soon."

The supervisor was a little surprised and asked:
"Are you planning to switch to another company? Are they offering you better conditions than what I just said?"

Xia Zhi shook his head.

The supervisor added:

"Xiaoxia, you have been in the company for a year, and you know that our company is a young company. It may not be as good as those big factories, but being young has its advantages. We have unlimited potential, and there is no class struggle solidified by big factories. Rely on strength, let’s put it this way, with your wisdom, when the company goes public, you must be a senior figure, and you will definitely have a better future than entering those big factories now with shares and dividends.”

Xia Zhi smiled wryly:
"No, I plan to start my own business. After this incident, I realized that the ownership of the model algorithm I finally developed does not belong to me. I can only get [-]% of the income. I think it is unfair."

The supervisor seemed to understand, he paused, and said earnestly:
"Xiao Xia, you are still too young. Entrepreneurship does not only require technology. The reason why Apple is so powerful is because of Jobs who doesn't understand technology. Let me tell you, technology is not as important as you think.

For example, if you publicly apply for a patent on your model algorithm, do you think other companies will obediently pay you patent fees?
Impossible. The real situation is that before long, major companies will reverse engineer and decipher the algorithm, and then try their best to avoid supervision and imitate your algorithm, and come up with similar algorithms to compete with you.

What do you use to compete with big manufacturers?

Cao Yuan mentioned just now, he is very skilled, right?He graduated or got a job in the company, you let him start his own business?Guaranteed to disappear in a few years.

What can the company offer you?The first is the resources for researching technology, and the second is strong legal support. The Nanshan Pizza Hut of Goose Factory is one of the leaders. It is difficult for you to fight against the technological siege of a big factory, but the company behind it can do it. "

Xia Zhi was quiet for a while after the supervisor finished speaking eloquently.

He knows what a supervisor means and how difficult it is to start a business alone.

But after getting the black technology system, and sending someone to work under the fence, I am really sorry for the black technology.

The supervisor told Xia Zhi not to rush to make a decision, think about it these few days, and communicate with him if you have any ideas.

Xia Zhi left the supervisor's office and returned to his workstation to think about things.

It was almost time to get off work, and someone behind him took a picture of Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi looked back and found that it was Zhou Xu, his tutor.

"Brother Xu, why are you back now? The project is cleared?"

Zhou Xu pulled the chair next to him and sat down and said:
"No, I heard that you are resigning, so I came over to have a chat with you."

Xia Zhi was a little surprised. Did the supervisor want to keep him so much? He called all the tutors back to Jinling.

Xia Zhi also wanted to express his position, Zhou Xu said:
"Find a place to eat after get off work, and talk while drinking. Don't have any psychological burden, I just go through the process, and the right is a heart-to-heart talk. If you stay in the end, this meal is to celebrate your promotion and salary increase. If you want Let's go, it's just a breakup meal."

Xia Zhi nodded.

Talking to a straightforward person like a programmer is fun.

As soon as the two of them agreed, they heard someone at the door say:

"Hey, you're discussing drinking before you get off work?"

Xia Zhi heard the voice and knew it was Sister Fang.

Zhou Xu turned around and saw Wen Fang, and immediately smiled playfully:
"Fangfang, long time no see, have a drink together tonight?"

Wen Fang looked at Xia Zhi and said:

"Okay, Xiao Xia said last time that she wanted to invite me to dinner, but there's nothing more to say."

Xia Zhi remembered that he had said before that he wanted to treat Sister Fang to make amends for causing her to stay up late.

As a result, I was busy applying for a patent and writing a thesis, so I forgot about it.

Zhou Xu also looked at Xia Zhi, pretending to be serious and saying:
"Xiao Xia, this is your fault. As a master, I have to tell you a few words. I must invite you for the dinner tonight."

Xia Zhi laughed and said:

"necessary."

Seeing Wen Fang walking out, Zhou Xu waved goodbye to Xia Zhi and followed.

Xia Zhi heard what Zhou Xu said to Sister Fang, did the supervisor call you here?
Xia Zhi didn't think much about it, he packed up his things and was about to leave, when the project leader came to stop him.

Xia Zhi put down his things and looked at the person in charge:

"Brother Zhao, what's the matter?"

The person in charge said with a smile:
"There's nothing wrong with this project recently. What the supervisor means is to let you take a few days off. I took a look at the time you worked overtime on Saturdays and Sundays before and calculated that you can take five days off. Counting Saturdays and Sundays, you Take a week off."

Xia Zhile is happy:

"A week off with pay? So good?!"

The person in charge nodded and said with a smile:
"We don't get overtime pay for overtime work here, it's just for taking time off."

"Well! Thank you, Brother Zhao."

Xia Zhi cheerfully took the leave.

Although the person in charge is talking about the rules, the employees actually know that very few people can really take time off.

After entering this industry, working overtime is a matter of course.

Every time a project is over and it’s time to take a break, the next project comes right after, without any chance to breathe.

For a project team of ten or so people, the wages cost tens of thousands of dollars a day.

Allowing employees to take time off is to eat the boss's meat.

Xia Zhi felt that in this company, he was beginning to enjoy the benefits of a related household.

In the evening, he came to the Man Yuanchun restaurant near the company. The masters Zhou Xu and Wen Fang were already waiting for him.

"Are you here early?" Xia Zhi sat down and greeted the two of them.

Zhou Xu laughed and said:

"The delicious ones run fast."

Wen Fang glanced at Zhou Xu and said:

"I'm a runner with long legs."
