Tech Hammer

Tian Yanzhen didn't reach out, he just looked at Ning Wei and asked: "Okay, let me ask one question, do you think you can get all the equipment on the second page with your current net worth?"

As we all know, Ning Wei is a billionaire, an officially certified one. His taxes paid in the two quarters are double digits, and the subsequent units will have to add another 100 million. He won a data center worth more than 100 million without blinking an eye. .

Tian Yan really didn't care about how much money Ning Wei had. He would definitely have a hundred million behind the two of them. Not to mention that although Huawei is not listed on the market, it will proactively release financial reports every quarter. A brief analysis of its financial reports can probably calculate that the patent licensing fees paid to Ningwei will not be small.

Ning Wei hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head sincerely: "Actually, barely enough is enough, right? If you don't consider the latest generation of equipment and the construction of some special laboratory sites. And you know, I just said Spend one billion to build the March Artificial Intelligence Foundation, so..."

Tian Yanzhen nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. But first of all, you can't just focus on the laboratories in our school. Although the equipment in our laboratories is indeed leading in the country, China has There are many colleges and universities with money, and the equipment update and iteration cycles are different. I will try my best to help you contact the platform you want to build. There are indeed many people who are interested. You can use some skills when signing the agreement later. It’s just a matter of project priority. This can save a lot of money.”

"In addition, you must have misunderstood the annual allocation of laboratory equipment and equipment from the logistics management department. Do you know how many professors queue up to apply for various equipment every year? That amount of allocation is really more than enough. Your list can cover ten years of research. The budget is all used up, and there are also construction costs for finding a venue. From my point of view, I really want to support you. But it is really unrealistic."

"Finally, if you really want to get the equipment on these two pages, there is actually no way out. I can help you point the way. I think the probability of success is very high, at least 90%. The equipment, instruments, and site construction according to your requirements can all be completed perfectly, and you don’t need to worry too much about the maintenance of the laboratory after it is completed. Someone will naturally be able to complete it. Of course, the premise is that you have enough confidence, and the results will be Match the effort.”

Tian Yanzhen's last sentence successfully aroused Ning Wei's interest. As expected, the tutor is well-informed and sees the problem more comprehensively, so Ning Wei asked humbly: "Oh, Director Tian, ​​what can I do? Don't be too secretive. "

Tian Yanzhen nodded, then pointed to the filing cabinet behind Ning Wei, and said: "First make a detailed plan and application report. Remember to explain in the report the significance of purchasing these equipment to set up a laboratory. A little exaggeration. It doesn’t matter much. Then find an opportunity. It’s best to act like you were accidentally seen by Mr. Liu Wei. I don’t need to teach you how to perform next.”

"Anyway, if you really have confidence in this future laboratory cluster, you should have a good chat with him about those ideas. Now, others can only have a rough idea of ​​what the artificial intelligence platform built in March can achieve, but you I definitely know it better than anyone else, so I won’t say much about how to talk about it, but..."

"Stop!" Ningwei had no choice but to interrupt Tian Yanzhen, grimaced, and lowered his voice: "Director Tian, ​​my Brother Liu has very sensitive ears. Please lower your voice, or he may have heard what you just said. Here we are. Our house is not particularly soundproof."

"Haha, okay, then I won't say much. Anyway, I will teach you the methods, and I wish you success. Also, don't put all your energy into these aspects. It is better to focus a little on mathematics. I am still waiting. Your top youth final report and doctoral thesis are here. This winter vacation, you should think carefully about it and prepare the thesis report. Let's get over the formalities quickly so that you can graduate quickly." Tian Yanzhen waved his hand and then waited for Ning. To react, he walked out of the office with a smile.

This came and went in a hurry, not like a big boss at all, but it made Ning Wei's mind active, so can he still be used like this as his nominal driver? It's a pity that he didn't think of this method himself. Now he doesn't know whether Brother Liu next door's pair of fine ears heard the chat between him and Director Tian. It seems very embarrassing to go directly to him like this, and it seems that in the morning You shouldn't tease Brother Liu.

But what to say, since Director Tian said so, this is always a solution, and if Director Tian hadn't come over just now, he would have planned to go to Liu Wei to ask something. Thinking of this, Ning Wei confidently picked up the two A4 papers that Tian Yanzhen put on the table, and took out two stacks of reports from the desk. After thinking about it, he stood up and found it from the bookcase behind him. I received the planning document for developing EDA software at Jiangnan University.

At that time, the EDA project was the first large-scale project that he took the initiative to invest in, and the results were very good. For Huawei, it has become a tool for profit growth, and for the Jiangda Software Laboratory that invested in that year, relying on this project The money earned is enough to support a dozen major projects. In short, this is a benchmark case of transforming a successful laboratory project into a commercial success, and Ning Wei feels that it can get extra points.

Holding a thick stack of information in his hand, Ning Wei began to pay attention to the issue of emotional intelligence. Would it be too deliberate to come to the door directly like this? Director Tian also said just now that if he didn't act so deliberately, the effect would be better. To understand what Tian Yan really meant, and to make everything happen naturally and as a matter of course, he had to find someone with a stack of information to look for trouble. reason...

After thinking for about a minute, Ning Wei gave up.

This is not an abstract mathematical thought transformation, there are so many twists and turns. If you can succeed, if you can't, wait for a while to save money. You should be confident as a person. As long as you are not embarrassed, it will always be others who are embarrassed.

Speaking of which, he and Liu Wei actually got along pretty well. It was impossible for them to turn a blind eye when they should be cooperating in performances.

So Ning Wei walked out of the door with Shi Shiran holding at least one kilogram of information, went to the next door, pushed the door in, and found that Liu Wei was sitting on the small sofa near the door, quietly holding a book. He looked very attentive as he read. But this location is really separated from his office by a wall. If this guy's ears are as sensitive as he said, it's hard to say he can't hear.

"Hey, Brother Liu, where are you reading? Shuangjiao? Brother Liu, your hobbies are quite broad!" Due to the angle, Ning Wei could only see these two words on the cover of the novel.

"They are two unparalleled heroes..." Liu Wei closed the book wordlessly and exposed the entire cover to Ning Wei: "Mr. Gu Long's martial arts novel tells the story of two brothers, Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wuque."

"Oh, I've seen it! I saw it in math class when I was in junior high school." Ning Wei nodded suddenly and said.

"You still read novels in your junior high school math class?" Liu Wei asked in a cooperative manner, showing surprise.

"Otherwise! It sounds like no one has ever been young. When he was studying, he read more than just extracurricular books in class. It was for a top student to have the opportunity to experience the fun of a poor student writing a self-criticism. After all, he has never written a self-criticism. The academic career is incomplete." Ning Wei said with a sigh on his face.

Liu Wei glanced at Ning Wei and said nothing.

Facts have proven that pretending to be cool is very addictive. Some people will unconsciously start doing what their big brother did back then, especially when combined with drinking alcohol, the effect will be better. This is a manifestation of addiction. It is best for others not to interrupt at this time. If you praise it, it will get worse; if you lose it, it may become the trigger for fighting.

Fortunately, Ning Wei has relatively strong self-control in this regard. After all, after experiencing the physical and mental comfort brought by the high-end Versailles, such low-end games no longer bring too many dopamine rewards. In fact, the sigh is just to take over. Foreshadowing the dialogue that follows.

"By the way, I came here to ask Brother Liu something. Did you hear my mother call me just now?"

Liu Wei thought for a while, then nodded honestly: "Well, I heard a little bit. You said you were going to pick them up, no problem. I will prepare any car you need."

"That's not the problem. I've never worried about the pick-up car. The main reason is that my mother said that the security department of the factory arranged for two security personnel to send them here. I was wondering if these security personnel are actually in the same system as you. In fact, it also belongs to Jitu Security Company, right?" Ning Wei asked smoothly.

Liu Wei was silent for a moment, then thought about it and said, "I don't know much about this matter. After all, I'm just your driver. But I did hear that the company recently took over a security business for an enterprise in Jiang Province. , subcontracted the entire security department of this company.”

Ning Wei was stunned for a moment, this was a bit grand.

"Hey, come to think of it, I see there are a lot of new faces at the security guard at the gate of Beijing University. Could it be that Jitu Security has also taken over the security department of our Yanbei University?"

"This is different. It is true that the security guards at several gates have been changed, but it is a model where the old lead the new, and it is not taken over completely. You can understand it as a labor dispatch agreement. Anyway, each gate of the school is twenty As long as there are people from our security company present for four hours, as well as the campus patrol team." Liu Wei nodded and replied.

"That's great! I like to deal with strong units. That's it. Didn't my sister-in-law finish her exam today and plan to go home tomorrow? I'm not worried about her being a girl on the road. She My sister also needs to stay in school and cooperate with me to do some things, and I..."

At this point, Ning Wei nudged the corner of his mouth and held a stack of information in his arms, and said distressedly: "You have also seen that there are a lot of things to do, and there is nothing to be done. In addition, my parents will be there the day after tomorrow. I'm coming over, so can you pay for your people to help me send my sister-in-law back? Of course, after sending her, it would be better if I can stay for a while and wait for school to start before sending her back. I'll pay how much it costs. "

Ning Wei felt that his acting skills were really great and he found a good reason. He successfully made Liu Wei's eyes stay on the thick stack of information in his hand for a long time.

"Don't worry, we will find a lesbian to help you take Jiang Chenlu home. Let's book the air tickets here. This will save you the trouble. I will reimburse you for the air tickets for the two of you." Liu Wei nodded. road.

"That's it. Thank you so much, I feel relieved." Ning Wei stood at the door and said happily, and then said: "Okay, Brother Liu, you continue to read, I'm leaving first."

Then Ning Wei turned around and turned his head. As soon as he took a step, he stumbled and almost tripped: "Ouch..." With an exclamation, Ning Wei let go of the hand holding the information and held it on the door frame. Then he stopped and looked at the door. The body fell down, but the information was ruthlessly scattered on the floor before he had time to organize and order it.

Liu Wei sat on the chair and looked down at the information on the ground. Then he looked up at Ning Wei, who had turned around and looked depressed. He thought for about half a second, and then put his hand in his hand with a slow reaction. He put the book aside casually, then squatted down and said in a slightly grandiose manner: "Mr. Ning, are you okay? What kind of information are these? Are they important? Can I help you pack them?"

"I'm fine. In fact, these information are not very important. They are just application forms that I am going to take to the school logistics department to apply for purchasing equipment and building a new laboratory this year. Hey, didn't Director Tian come here just now and mentioned it to him? When I asked about the construction of the laboratory next year, he asked me to send the information to the leaders of the school who are responsible for laboratory construction and equipment procurement. After all, it must be included in the procurement plan before it can be queued. "

"I didn't want to discuss with you about my sister-in-law's return home. Hey, I was too careless. I'm sorry, Brother Liu, this is causing you trouble again." After saying that, Ning Wei also squatted down. He came down and started to follow Liu Weiyi to pick up the information scattered on the ground.

Liu Weiyi sullenly picked up the information with Ning Wei, and responded: "Oh, that's it, why don't you just do this yourself? Why don't you leave it to me? These information were originally supposed to be sent to you." To which leader? I will send it to you right away."

Ning Wei was stunned. He had forgotten to ask such an important question.

Although he has been at Yanbei University for almost a year, he has stayed in the Mathematics Research Center most of the time. Occasionally, he goes out to visit. The furthest he went was to the laboratory of the School of New Materials, where he met Professor Tan. In addition, he was very close to the school. I am somewhat familiar with the teacher at the computing center, but I have never had any experience with the school’s logistics and laboratory management departments...

"Well... then Brother Liu, which leader do you think is more appropriate to give these materials to? Otherwise, you can send them to me?" Ning Wei even used honorifics when asking this question.

Liu Wei was silent for a moment, and the hand that was picking up the information couldn't help but subconsciously paused. He didn't know how Ning Wei had the nerve to ask such an outrageous and shameless question. It really wouldn't be too clumsy for everyone to act like this. ?

But after thinking about it, I still had to answer, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing, so I said truthfully: "If Dr. Ning doesn't mind going through the process, I actually don't mind either. But the only thing I can be sure of is that if I follow the process and send it, If you give it to the leaders, at least the leaders who report it to the next two levels in a row won’t read it, because they won’t understand it very well. The only thing I can guarantee is that the information will definitely be sent to the leaders who can understand it.”

Ning Wei nodded and said without showing any embarrassment: "That's okay. I'm familiar with the process, but it would be best if it could be speeded up. When handing in information, you can be a little exaggerated when making reports, such as this relationship It is related to the national economy and people’s livelihood, and to the blank areas of science and technology in the world, so we need to be more reliable when coordinating resources and adjust the priority to the highest level.”

"I asked March to help me calculate it. For the patents that currently belong to me, including turbulence algorithms and artificial intelligence, by the end of the patent protection period, it is no problem to get a total of over 100 billion yuan in twenty years. . No matter how active I am in paying taxes, it will be very difficult for me to use up the money in my hands. Therefore, I don’t care too much about personal gains and losses from the results of this laboratory.”

"Otherwise, I can start slowly. Anyway, I have money invested in my account every financial quarter. It will waste three to five years to do more. The laboratory I envisioned can also be built, but it requires more thought. , it may be more difficult to do some experiments in the early stage, and I may have to worry about finding people. If I don't have to worry about these things, it is equivalent to transferring risks and benefits at the same time."

The endless chatter did not slow down Liu Wei. Soon, all the information scattered on the ground had been collected. Then the driver glanced at Ning Wei and replied concisely: "I understand!"

Ning Wei said seriously: "No, no, no, I haven't finished speaking yet. Brother Liu, there are still requirements. For example, if this laboratory makes something interesting, it will all be mine, and the implementation process and technology will be mine." We can discuss it and I will keep the finished product and play with it slowly."

After a moment of silence, Liu Weicai said carefully: "I'm not sure what the fun things you are talking about are, and I don't know what the profit distribution you are talking about is. But from my perspective, if it is not an aircraft carrier, a space station, Or large aircraft, strategic grade, or extremely dangerous products, other playable products should not be a big problem. And even if you talk about profit issues, they will definitely not lose you."

Ning Wei nodded and agreed: "That's good, that's good! Why don't you just start the process?"

Liu Wei nodded silently.

"Great, Brother Liu, please help me send these materials to the leaders. By the way, I told you about winning the Wolf Prize in Mathematics. Remember, the award ceremony will be held next month. It was held in China, and they said I could invite a few relatives and friends to the award ceremony. Think about it, in addition to my parents, my old dormitory friends, my classmate Jiang and her sister, our field director and several tutors from Jiang University. Besides, I don’t know who to invite, will you come too?”

It was a very perfunctory invitation. In fact, Liu Wei wanted to tell Ning Wei that he would still have to be there even without the invitation, but after thinking about it, he held it back and nodded silently.

Seeing Liu Wei's statement, Ning Wei clapped his hands happily and stood up, saying: "Then I've decided happily. I'm sorry to trouble you, Brother Liu. I'll treat you to a Man-Han banquet some other time. You can choose whatever you want." . Then I’ll go and get busy first. As you know, school is about to be on vacation and I have a lot to do.”

Ah……

To be honest, Liu Wei felt that he couldn't hold out much hope for the mathematician's invitation to dinner, especially since Ning Wei looked so hypocritical when he said this. A scumbag who is willing to act.

…

In fact, Ning Wei's recent arrangements were indeed very fulfilling. For example, when he returned to the office, he called Director Luo to express his gratitude. Of course, this makes the recipient feel somewhat flattered. This also directly caused a simple phone call to say thank you to become the scene of a large-scale business exchange car accident. From a level perspective, a pure business exchange would rather be a genuine thank you than a sensitive one, so the phone call could only end in embarrassment.

Then he began to study his winter vacation arrangements, and then determined that he could only rest for three or four days. The winter vacation lasted nearly a month, but the time at his disposal was only about that long. If combined with the experience during the National Day, the time may be shortened.

This is on the premise that everything he needs to worry about has basically been assigned.

Not to mention, when he opened his mailbox, he found that the date for Ericsson's president and Isabel's joint visit had been determined, and the schedule had been sent. Three days later, on January 17, the two will arrive in Beijing by special plane, and then return on the afternoon of the 20th, the day before New Year's Eve. The two of them will stay in China for four days and three nights, which is not such a rush when traveling.

Fortunately, the staff of the Wolf Foundation came to arrange the award ceremony after the new year. Otherwise, he would not even have time to take a breath and would be busy receiving friends from all over the world.

One can imagine how busy Ning Wei has been these days. Tomorrow he and classmate Jiang have to send his sister-in-law home, the day after tomorrow he has to go to the high-speed rail station to pick up his parents who are in Beijing for the Chinese New Year, and the day after tomorrow he has to go to the airport to pick up Isabel and Ronny Ledon. , and then you may have to find time to deal with this international friend, and you also have to take classmate Jiang to accompany the princess who you have a close relationship with. You can imagine how fulfilling life was a few years ago.

Of course, Yan Ming and many Huawei executives are also facing the same troubles at this time.

Ning Wei and Huang Yunjian were absolutely right. After the option was thrown away in March, there were really not enough executives to receive the visiting negotiating team.

At the same time, it is necessary to reach a strategic partnership with five or six world-class leaders in software and hardware in the technology industry. The energy and difficulty required are difficult to imagine for laymen. Both parties must strive for sufficient benefits, and both parties must strive for a little benefit. Gains and losses must be weighed, and more importantly, the negotiating team members sent by these world-class companies are all elites in their respective fields. After all, everyone has money and can afford to hire people.

What’s even more frightening is that most of the people who came to negotiate this time are foreign companies. Their most important holiday every year, Christmas, has already passed, and they are actually indifferent to the Chinese Spring Festival. Given the urgency of the matter, they probably won’t feel occupied. People's Spring Festival holiday is a very unreasonable thing...

The series of happy troubles begins to take turns in 2023, a special year that will be called the first year of artificial intelligence by later generations...
