Lu Zhou thought for a while and then said, "Which article are you referring to?"
But he is different.
Upon hearing Lu Zhou's words, Wang Wei said quickly.
He has published quite a few papers, and just by saying that, he really can't remember which one Mr. Wang is referring to.
If he remembered correctly, those ten papers should be the ones he submitted to aquatic journals to refresh the data in order to complete the system tasks.
Hearing this compliment, Lu Zhou smiled sheepishly.
Maybe he is not the richest man in the world, and he has never entered the center of power, but even if times change, his name will remain eternal and become a symbol in this world.
Although this man was neither a national dignitary nor a business tycoon, he did not feel at all relaxed in his heart. Instead, he felt a trace of nervousness that he had not experienced in a long time.
If he is not a great man who is pushed to the forefront of the times, the limit a politician can achieve is to continue the prosperity of a country or region, while the bottleneck of a businessman is even narrower, and he can make a company have a market value of trillions. This is basically the limit of what you can achieve as an entrepreneur.
With that said, Lu Zhou looked at his watch and stood up from his chair.
In fact, drone delivery is nothing new. In some remote areas that are inconvenient for people and vehicles to reach, Shunfeng Group tried to put drones into the delivery process a few years ago.
Regarding Wang Wei's statement, Lu Zhou did not answer, but only showed a friendly smile.
"... It was just something I made on a whim when I was a student. It cannot be regarded as a serious research result for reference."
Wang Wei nodded and continued.
"After all, the cost of hiring a courier is about 10,000 yuan, and the price of a drone can even be less than 8,000 yuan. And from an efficiency point of view, the space flexibility of drones, It can easily cross areas that would take people and vehicles a lot of time to reach. In contrast, we only need to pay cheap electricity and basic maintenance costs for the drone.”
Not to mention that some passers-by with extremely poor quality may lose their basic respect because the delivery target is a drone, and take the initiative to shoot down the drone with slingshots, rocks and other things, and pick up the express delivery.
Lu Zhou nodded.
"That's what it means."
"It's more than just difficult," Wang Wei gave a wry smile and continued, "It has been difficult to pass the test. The director of our research institute told me that if he didn't lower the standards, he almost didn't know what to do. ”
After a pause, Lu Zhou continued.
After all, in densely populated cities, especially first-tier cities, it is too dangerous to fly drones casually in the sky. If one fell down and hit someone or a car, the compensation alone would probably be enough to bankrupt them.
With this faint respect, he took a step towards the stairs in front of him, but at this moment, a voice came from behind him.
"It is said that the reception room is the business card of a company. I can tell from this decoration that Academician Lu is a person of taste."
Because although that person is not a powerful political figure or a powerful business tycoon, his status is not lower than the first two, and even if the two are added together, it is difficult to compare with him.
Wang Wei sighed and said: "Academician Lu is joking, not to mention that a net worth of hundreds of billions is nothing in front of you. I am afraid that only people who don't even care about money will care about your shares in Starry Sky Technology. "
"The problems we encountered are mainly reflected in two points, one is safety, and the other is distribution efficiency. To put it bluntly, we must take into account the safety of goods and the safety of pedestrians at the same time, and we must adapt to dynamically changing traffic. Especially like In high-population-density areas like first-tier cities, aerial areas are strictly controlled.”
As soon as he heard Wang Wei mention this matter, Lu Zhou felt dumbfounded.
It’s been almost ten years now.
Just as Time Magazine commented on him - he is the wealth of the entire human civilization, and his glory is the pinnacle of the human mind.
Hearing the voice from behind, Wang Wei immediately turned around and saw a young man looking at him with a smile.
In fact, he had no involvement in the decoration of the group building. After all, he didn't come here often. However, his emotional intelligence was not enough to undermine others on such trivial issues, so he accepted the compliment heartily.
Soon, he will meet an extremely important person to Shunfeng Group.
There is no other reason.
Although it cost him 25 points to redeem it, except for a few half-developed algorithms, no substantive issues have been solved. If he can still figure out a reason according to that plan, then It’s so weird!
"Although we can't be work partners, we can still be business partners." Lu Zhou smiled and said softly, "It's better to continue the greetings during lunch. Let's get straight to the point. I heard My CEO said, have you encountered any technical problems that cannot be solved?"
"Just saying that, you probably won't understand what I'm talking about."
Lu Zhou admitted that if he hadn't seen a broader future from the system, he might have actually accepted the offer and embarked on a path of "entering the industry from the industry."
Downstairs of the Starry Sky Technology building.
He still remembered that when he was still an undergraduate, Mr. Wang, who was already worth tens of billions at the time, offered him an annual salary of 500,000 yuan, asking him to give up his studies and come to work for him in the Shenzhen city. However, Lu Zhou I did not accept his offer, but completed my studies step by step, went abroad to study and teach, and finally returned to China to carry the banner of Chinese academia.
Lu Zhou thought for a moment and then said, "Can you elaborate?"
"This is not a compliment," Wang Wei smiled, his tone suddenly filled with emotion, "It's really sad to say it. In fact, nine years ago, I felt that your future development would definitely not be easy, and I thought I wanted to see if I could make a profit with an annual salary of five hundred thousand, but I still didn’t expect it, and I still underestimated your potential.”
In fact, to be honest, although an annual salary of 500,000 may not seem like a lot in 2023, it was a large number nine years ago. Especially for a student who has just entered his sophomore year and is still worried about living expenses, this is an offer that is almost impossible to refuse.
Speaking of fate, this thing is really magical.
Recognizing this person's identity in an instant, Wang Wei was slightly stunned for a moment, and then a hearty smile appeared on his face.
"For example, the 'Worker Bee' logistics drone distribution system we use is provided with cloud computing services by Xinghai-1. The maximum safe load of a single drone is about 10kg. It is mainly used to cooperate with automated logistics vehicles to complete single product parts. Running between job shops.”
Based on this life trajectory, maybe he has embarked on a completely different path now...
Wang Wei, who got off the Mercedes-Benz, stretched out his hand to straighten his tie, looked up at the towering tall building, and took a deep breath.
"No, it's not a big problem?" With an expression of disbelief on his face, Wang Wei quickly asked, "What do you mean by this?"
After taking a sip of hot tea to moisten the mulberry seeds, Wang Wei looked at the decoration in the reception room and said with emotion.
But even so, they still encountered many problems when promoting the application scenarios of this technology from remote mountainous areas to cities.
"It's definitely a bit difficult to handle."
However, this technology has not been promoted because of its high cost.
Therefore, they now need a solution that can perfectly control the avant-garde concept of "drone logistics". After seeing the news about the completion of the Xinghai-1 Quantum Supercomputing Center, Wang Wei became interested in cooperating with Xingkong Technology. Especially when he thought that Lu Zhou seemed to have studied drone logistics systems before, his thoughts became even more intense. It's intense.
If you think about it carefully, it's really touching.
"Isn't this bad? Mr. Wang is also a man with a net worth of tens of billions, and he still cares about my small share."
"The bottom line we negotiate with the city government is to ensure that there will be zero pedestrian accidents during the six-month trial operation period. In other words, it is possible to extend our license only if there is no one traffic accident. And if there is one during this six months If a drone or goods fall from the sky and hit someone, the license for the entire drone delivery pilot will be revoked."
"In fact, the use of drones in the logistics field... There are already pilot factories in Jinling High-tech Park doing this, but it has not been promoted yet due to cost and safety reasons."
Without staying at the door, the two of them exchanged a few polite words and then walked towards the interior of the building together. They were received by the etiquette staff and entered the VIP reception room that had been prepared.
"Thank you for the compliment."
"Okay, no problem! The annual salary of five million is three times more than my current annual salary. Academician Lu is so flattering, how can Wang dare to refuse? I just want to ask before joining the job, can I exchange half of the annual salary for into shares and give it to me in the form of a year-end bonus. After all, the annual salary is too high, and the taxes paid are heartbreaking!"
Lu Zhou originally planned to make a joke, but unexpectedly he agreed easily. Instead, he felt embarrassed to continue teasing him, so he smiled and said.
After patiently listening to what Wang Wei said, Lu Zhou gently tapped his index finger on the table. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I probably understand your question."
It turned out to be that paper.
"We are currently planning to launch an unmanned delivery pilot in Shenzhen City, and we have even made arrangements with the local government. However, the current situation is that our research and development work has hit a bottleneck."
"Academician Lu, you are too modest! But to tell you the truth, the study of drone logistics is not entirely based on your papers, but we have always invested resources in this concept as a research and development direction."
The secretarial lady in charge of the reception poured tea for the two of them, then turned and left the reception room, closing the door behind them.
In recent years, breakthroughs in nuclear fusion technology have completely liberated production capacity, driven down the prices of many industrial products, and compressed electricity costs to a negligible level, making it possible to fully promote this technology.
"If you are interested, I will take you to see it."
"Friend, with an annual salary of five million, do you want to work at Star Technology?"
"...To be honest, it's not really a big problem."
"Well, I just have time now."
"That's right," Wang Wei nodded and continued, "In fact, we have been studying your paper for this period of time."
"It's the article about the drone logistics system." At this point, Wang Wei sighed softly, "I'm ashamed to say that the engineers at our institute have spent several years following the instructions you proposed in your paper. We have been studying the blueprint, but we still haven’t seen great results. We can’t think of any other better way now besides asking for your help.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Wei immediately cheered up and sat upright. However, just when he thought Lu Zhou would express some high opinions, he was stunned by his next words.
Mr. Wang's net worth of tens of billions has not changed, but he has changed from the poor student he was to a business card facing the world in Chinese academic circles.
