After convening this meeting, President Jiang took the lead and selected a vice dean from the School of Information Technology to serve as the president of Tianwen University of Information Technology, and also arranged for some administrative staff to come over.
Although the establishment of the school here has just been confirmed, because the investment scale has been determined and a management system is used, these transferred personnel not only do not resist, but are very happy.
First, the future of this school is relatively bright. Although it may not be able to be the best in the world, it will at least be well-known in the country. This is not a big problem because the resources this school has are so abundant.
The second is that they have been promoted. Although promotion in private universities is different from that in public universities, no one can resist this kind of temptation. It is an indisputable fact that the power in their hands has increased and their salaries have increased.
These transferred personnel will form the school preparatory committee, and the municipal government has also specially arranged for a person in charge to join this preparatory committee to coordinate the communication between the school and the government.
After the preparatory committee is formed, the first step is to select the site for the new school, then entrust an architectural design company to carry out planning and design, and finally contract the project to a construction company for construction through bidding.
In addition, it is to compile a list of teachers in order to submit an application for school establishment to the Ministry of Education and apply for qualifications with a bachelor's degree or above.
When the Ministry of Education received the application materials for school establishment, there was a lot of internal discussion. It was not enough for Zhao Yi to build one private school, and he wanted to build a second private school.
You must know that the scale of the main campus of Tianwen University is one of the best in the country and even the world. This is not enough. When the first class of students graduates, they will start the construction of a new campus without stopping. The scale does not belong to the main campus.
The construction of this branch campus has not yet been completed. A new higher education institution has begun to be built, and the initial investment scale is 10 billion yuan, which makes people in the Ministry of Education feel like a "prodigal son".
The most important thing is that the list of teachers in the application materials actually includes 5 academicians, 10 National Science and Technology Medal winners, and hundreds of senior researchers, all of whom have achieved important results. .
With these talents forming a teaching team, it is more than enough to apply for the qualification to issue an undergraduate certificate. Not to mention, with the successful case of Tianwen University in front, the resistance will naturally be much smaller.
In addition, in recent years, the country has paid more and more attention to the development of science and technology, and the information industry has been increasingly supported by relevant government departments. The establishment of Tianwen Information Technology University is just in time.
Therefore, I applied for the school license very smoothly, but currently I have only obtained the teaching qualification for undergraduates. As for teaching at the postgraduate level, it still needs to be seen how effective the school will be later, and can only be obtained after a comprehensive evaluation.
After receiving the permission to establish a school, President Jiang of Tianwen University announced the system builder of the earth simulator, saying that the soon-to-be-constructed Tianwen University of Information Technology would independently undertake the work.
This, of course, caused an uproar and attracted widespread attention at home and abroad. They thought they would find the top universities in the country to jointly undertake this task, but in the end they gave it to Tianwen University of Information Technology, which has not yet been established.
Therefore, people who are more concerned about this issue will go around to inquire about the origin of this soon-to-be-established astronomy and information technology university, and it has received such strong support from Tianwen University.
Looking at the name, I thought it was a branch of Tianwen University, but this is not the case. Apart from being the same investor, there is no other affiliation between the two.
Of course, ordinary people cannot investigate these things, but it is still easy to investigate the teaching staff of this school. This information is not a secret.
As a result, I was shocked by the various science and technology experts inside, especially the people on the list, who were previously top scientists in several top domestic companies, this time they actually stood up for the soon-to-be-established university.
In addition, there is the dazzling school construction fee of 10 billion yuan. This figure has directly touched the hearts of many people. Some are jealous, some are envious, and some are actually taking action.
After the matter reached a certain level, the Preparatory Committee of Tianwen University of Information Technology began to send out invitations to the scholars they were more optimistic about.
Their actions in the country were relatively reserved, and they did not touch the main personnel of each university. After all, they still needed to take care of the emotions of these schools, and they were just poaching the second and third figures.
As for foreign senior talents, there are not so many scruples. Through the hands of these world-renowned companies, invitations are sent to top scholars, and there is no need to consider the feelings of these schools at all.
The reason why we start sending invitation letters so early is that these scholars need to be prepared in advance. After all, it is not easy to leave the place where you have worked and lived for many years and go to a strange place. This is not something you can just leave. travel.
They must be given enough time to make decisions and arrange related matters, so that when they come here, they will have no more involvement and can stay at ease.
Zhao Yi himself, after resting for one night at Polaris Game Company, left directly and went to Qianxun Technology Company. Before leaving, Zhao Yi suggested that Polaris Game Company develop an anime-style online game.
This is prepared for RB players, because RB will open the international Internet relatively early, and the Japanese, Korean and Southeast Asian markets may be the first to enter.
As for the Korean online game market, Zhao Yi did not forget to mention that according to Zhao Yi’s previous experience, the characteristics of Korean online games are that the graphics must be exquisite and the characters must be enchanting and greasy, which is very in line with the aesthetic characteristics of Koreans.
As for the gameplay, there is not so much emphasis on it. You can just follow normal logic, and you can use the mission plus copy mode. From this perspective, South Korea’s requirements for online games are actually not high.
At least for Polaris Games, it is not too difficult to do this, but he just mentioned it. As for whether they want to make online games specifically for these markets, it is up to them to decide.
However, Zhao himself prefers to produce online games in a targeted manner, so as to better serve local players and bring more revenue to a single market.
South Korea is better off. After all, both in terms of population size and economic development, it is relatively backward. There is currently little need to produce games specifically for the Korean market.
However, you must pay special attention to the dynamics of Korean game development companies and understand the latest information in this regard, because although the Korean market was not very good in the previous life, their game export business was still good.
However, in this era, South Korea's economic development is not as smooth as in previous generations, and the semiconductor industry and automobile industry that they relied on to develop are not doing well.
Not to mention South Korea, even RB, life in these fields is not very easy now. After the full-scale attack of Tianxing Semiconductor Company this year, most of the semiconductor field has been lost, which is no better than the semiconductor industry in Europe and the United States.
As for the automobile industry, it can only compete with European and American automobile companies in the low-end field. The high-end field is firmly controlled by Shenlong Automobile Company.
After several years of hard work, they thought they had hope of competing with Shenlong Automobile Company in the high-end market. However, after the release of Shenlong Automobile Company's top luxury cars, their hopes were completely wiped out.
Because the top luxury brand launched by Shenlong Automobile Company last year used so many advanced technologies that it would take them who knows how many years to understand it, let alone produce it.
The technology of European and American automobile companies is not inferior to that of RB's automobile companies, so the competition between the two is quite fierce, which makes Shenlong Automobile Company standing aside and watching the show feel frightened, and they are basically fighting hand-to-hand.
If this is the case in Japan, you can imagine South Korea's economy. Although the per capita GDP is higher than that of our country, it is not that outrageous. There is not much difference between the two, especially in terms of purchasing power.
In the same situation as South Korea, there is also nearby Wanwan. In the past life, they developed in the electronic semiconductor industry and relied on technology transfer from several major R&D markets in the previous life.
In this world, the electronic semiconductor industry in these places is already very difficult, let alone transferring technology to Wanwan. Therefore, it is very difficult for Wanwan to rely on semiconductor technology to rise.
If our country's semiconductor technology is based on theirs, then there may be a phenomenon where you are among me and you are among me. As the market expands, everyone will be able to get a piece of the pie.
However, although my country's semiconductor field cannot be said to have started from scratch, it basically has not much involvement with these countries.
This has resulted in Zhao Yi's companies basically covering all links in the entire semiconductor industry chain, forming an independent closed loop, without giving them any chance to get involved.
If the technology is not very good, he may still be embedded in the industry chain. The problem is that the technology of his semiconductor-related companies in every link must be stronger than theirs. This is an unsolvable situation.
In this case, I have a leading advantage in all aspects, and I am definitely not willing to give away the meat in my mouth to others. I can only wrong them and let them find another way out.
However, RB's per capita is still much higher than ours, although we have surpassed them in total. As for South Korea, the per capita gap is not that big. It is still unclear whether the Miracle on the Han River will have the glory of its previous life.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yi did not say these in a commanding tone. They were just some reminders. As for Polaris Games, it is entirely up to them to decide whether to do it or not.
According to Zhao Yi's understanding, in the early days of the Internet, as an international company, it could produce some games that catered to the tastes of global players, which would easily expand its game influence.
After a certain stage, it is necessary to produce a large number of game products that meet local tastes and carry out refined operations, so that we can firmly control the entire market.
However, this requires a large team of R&D personnel and operations teams. The current number of employees of Polaris Game Company cannot achieve this. However, in the future, if there are more talents in this field in the country, the entire strategy can be implemented.
From this perspective, it seems that it is not impossible for Polaris Game Company to achieve the goal of 100,000 employees. It only needs to maintain the number of 100,000 employees and add a highly efficient game development engine.
Basically, they can supply game products that satisfy all tastes and types to the world. By then, they may really be "alone and seeking defeat."
Thousands of games are launched every year, and the quality of each game is pretty good. There is always a game among them that suits your taste. Especially in the era of smartphones, imagining this prosperous scene is exciting.
Zhao Yi's next stop is the Building Block Software Company. The main purpose of coming to this company is to see how their research on smart city brain is going.
If their research and development results make a breakthrough, they can be used first in new cities built by China Housing Corporation, so that more problems can be discovered in actual use.
It is impossible to build a large-scale application system perfectly from the beginning. It is basically usable and improved bit by bit during actual use.
When Zhao arrived at the headquarters of Building Blocks Software Company, Zuo Daqian was already waiting downstairs. After Zhao got out of the car, he took a look at the office building, which was the same as before.
Among the several companies here, the most generous is Polaris Game Company, followed by Lingchen Technology Company, and Golden Shield Technology Company. The other companies are all half-measured.
Among these half-assed companies, Building Block Software Company is slightly better. After all, they still have income and there is no problem in maintaining business operations.
Even though its revenue last year was several billion yuan, it was considered one of the top companies in the country. But if you put aside their R&D investment, there is not much money left.
Because the smart city brain they are currently developing requires the use of very advanced supercomputers and investment in research and development of various software and hardware equipment, it is surprising that they have money left over.
The situation of several other companies is similar to that here, so they basically need to invest a large amount of money into the research and development field, and there is no money left to build a huge headquarters.
Originally, Zhao Yi planned to pay for them to build his own headquarters. After all, it was not easy to stay in these places all the time, and when the number of people increased, it would be very inconvenient to work in several separate places.
Later, Polaris Game Company moved here and came up with a new city construction plan, which made Zhao Yi change his mind. It would be better to wait until the new city is built and there will be enough space to accommodate the employees of these companies.
Moreover, the facilities there are very complete. The most important thing is that the vacancy rate in the new city is definitely very high in the early stage. It is better to rent it to these companies to gather popularity.
When there are more and more people in the new city and the scale of these companies becomes larger and larger, it is possible to build their own headquarters and move out of the new city, which will also save themselves a lot of money.
Following Zuo Daqian, he came to the company and checked the work status of the employees in the office area. Zhao took a look and found that they were still writing the core of the smart city brain. As for the sub-systems, they were not seen here. They were probably moved to Office elsewhere.
The most important part of the smart city brain is the intelligent core. If the intelligent core is not programmed well, the entire system will not be able to run, at least it will not behave so intelligently.
After looking around, they came to Zuo Daqian's office. After the two of them finished their work, they asked the secretary to serve a pot of tea, and Zuo Daqian reported to Zhao Yi.
“I feel like we may have fallen into a big pit. When we first thought of the great idea of a smart city brain, everyone in the company was immediately excited, and their enthusiasm was instantly ignited.
The result is that it is not the case at all. Although Mr. Zhao has provided a more advanced intelligent algorithm, it is still very difficult to turn it into a product.
According to our estimates, the current work progress is still very unsatisfactory, and the completion rate of the intelligent core is less than 10%. If we continue at this pace, we optimistically estimate that it will take 5 years to complete this work. .
The reasons mainly come from two aspects. The first aspect is that there is a slight shortage of development manpower. We have tried our best to recruit employees, but the number of qualified talents is still too few.
The talents we cultivate ourselves can only be used as starters in the early stages and are not qualified for more advanced technology development work, especially the development work of intelligent cores. The number of qualified employees is even less.
The second aspect is that we underestimated the difficulty of developing the intelligent core. Of course, it is also possible that we have set a relatively high goal, which will cause more difficulties in research and development. " Zuo Daqian said.
He started complaining to Zhao Yi right from the beginning. Zhao Yi smiled after hearing what he said. If it was really that easy, he wouldn't have had a decent smart city brain product before his rebirth.
If he hadn't provided the Building Block Software Company with more advanced intelligent algorithms, their research and development work on the intelligent core would have been at a standstill by now and would have been impossible to proceed at all.
Relying on the artificial intelligence algorithm they took from Fanxing Software Company, not only is the algorithm relatively simple and consumes too much resources, but even the intelligence it displays is limited, and more importantly, it requires huge data support.
Of course, Zhao Yi's algorithm is only one level better than the intelligent algorithm given by Fanxing Software Company, but it is not very advanced and at least requires a lot of data to support it.
Although both require huge data support, there is a huge difference in the efficiency and accuracy of data learning between the two.
In addition, Fanxing Software Company's intelligent algorithm needs to classify and label data, and the data needs to be cleaned first before the artificial intelligence program can learn.
The artificial intelligence algorithm of the Building Block Software Company has been optimized for data classification learning and can automatically perform identification and verification, making it more intelligent.
Of course, although this method improves learning efficiency and reduces unnecessary cost investment, the computing power required must also be increased to a higher level, at least in the training stage.
After passing the training stage, as the degree of intelligence becomes higher and higher, the computing power support they need will show a downward trend, and will eventually become normal. At that time, the computing power resource consumption will be much less than that of Fanxing Software Company.
This is also the reason why although the building block software company has earned billions of yuan in revenue, it cannot spend money to build its headquarters, because it is currently the time when they invest the most in hardware investment. (End of chapter)
