After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 210 Ten thousand topics? No! Those are the ten thousand unicorns of the future!
"Costa, I want to know the truth." In the conference room, von der Leyen looked at Costa, the French permanent representative to the European Union, with a heavy face and said solemnly.

In fact, this is not the first time that the EU has held a meeting to discuss Baiju Technology - on how to treat the APP in the mobile phone, Xiaosha, the opinions of all parties are almost unanimous.

Previously, Apple, Samsung, HP, Dell and other manufacturers have been negotiating with Europe, hoping to use political means to restrict Xiaosha or devices carrying Xiaosha from entering Europe.

To this end, they agreed to many conditions from some European countries: for example, setting up factories in Italy, giving priority to purchasing parts from the Netherlands, and helping Europe reshape the industrial chain of electronic equipment and bring manufacturing back to Europe.

This is still very attractive to Europe.

The problems Europe is currently facing can be seen from a set of data:

ASML is the only European company among the top 4 technology companies in the world by market value. Among the top 80 companies in the world, European technology companies account for less than % of revenue, while the Eastern giant and America account for nearly %.

Technology companies are very attractive to Europe, the country that once gave birth to Nokia and Ericsson.

Coupled with the pressure from America, Europe wants to "give it a try" to keep Xiaosha out of Europe.

What we are talking about here is the original version of Xiaosha, the APP built into HarmonyOS NEXT and the Android version.

To this end, the EU has held several meetings over the past month and negotiations with Huawei have been ongoing.

The original plan was that they wanted to eat the pie drawn by Apple, Samsung and others. As for Xiaosha, it’s not impossible to use it secretly. It’s just an APP anyway. We have regulations prohibiting its access, but can’t we not check it?
But unexpectedly, Huawei withdrew without saying a word.

Originally, it was nothing. Everyone knew it tacitly. The mobile phone would be sold as usual and Xiaosha would be used as usual.

But the question is, why is France so tough? Why is it cutting itself off from the world and leaving the European Union?

Have you all always been a fence-sitter? Why did you, France, suddenly become so loyal?
What happened during this period?
No one reacted at first, but with so many people attending the meeting at the EU headquarters, even if some of them were confused, it is impossible that all of them were fools.

Even if he usually says some stupid things, it may be intentional and it is part of his character.

"Let me say one thing." This matter is not a secret, and there is nothing to hide. It's just that France attaches more importance to it, and understands the situation of Baiju Technology more clearly and in a timely manner. Costa said directly: "We are now discussing the incident two months ago!"

"Are we discussing an incident that happened two months ago? What does that mean?" Von der Leyen was stunned.

"Literally," Costa said, "this is it. It's outdated. It's been two months. What happened in China in these two months? What did Baiju Technology do? Have you learned about it in detail?"

Of course they know about it. The Science and Technology Department of the Chinese Mission in China even set up an office in Linzhou, and relevant information is synchronized in real time.

Moreover, each country must also have its own concerns and information channels.

But it is difficult to say how deep the understanding is.

Not to mention Europe, even America, which suffered huge losses in its confrontation with Baiju Technology, does not dare to say how well it knows Baiju Technology.

Even China itself only knows what Baiju Technology has done, and has only a vague understanding of what it will do in the future, and can only guess.

France has a more in-depth understanding of the situation, including tracking every official announcement and research released by Baiju Technology.

They even organized all the public information they could find for the project in collaboration with the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Information Science and Technology of China.

Because Baiju Technology has not deliberately kept this information confidential, this type of information is still easy to obtain, especially in China, where the official Xiaosha can be used for relevant assistance.

Therefore, Wang Rui's medical condition was projected onto the large conference screen at the EU headquarters.

"Medical?"

When a group of people saw that AI could replace the brain to regulate human hormones, their eyes widened. No one had told them this before: "Is it so powerful?"

These politicians are more concerned about the overall situation and do not pay too much attention to the technical aspects.

But von der Leyen used to be a doctor, so she had some impression of Baiju Technology: "Isn't this one of the topics announced by Baiju Technology in January? What's the problem?"

"Don't tell me it worked?" Von der Leyen paused, as if she had thought of something, and exclaimed.

However, after a pause, she shook her head again and said to herself: "Either you are crazy or I am crazy. You dare to think of returning it!"

"Yeah!" Costa nodded in confirmation.

Seeing Costa nod, von der Leyen's face changed: "Just three weeks? Are you sure?!"

Von der Leyen remembers the time very clearly, because this topic overturned a lot of common sense and cognition, she made a point to read it.

"It was indeed successful!" Although Costa is not a doctor, the information he obtained was the most detailed, even including the circumstances of Wang Rui's suicide, Xiaosha's persuasion, and Xiaosha's subsequent diet plan.

"What you posted is just preliminary work, and it's just one case, what can it represent?" Some people still don't understand the whole story.

"Our people have conducted relevant tests on the use of sensor-AI to replace neuro-hormonal regulation using the most basic version of the small sand in mobile phones."

Costa introduced the relevant work that France has done: "The conclusion is: it is completely feasible! And their research group has a medical model specifically for the human body's regulatory system, and the success rate is 100%.

"As for what you said, it's just a case, what does it represent? Three weeks ago, the first batch of projects on the Baiju Technology official website announced 1,247 items, covering various fields of cutting-edge technology in the world today.

"And just yesterday, Baiju Technology released more than 3 Level 3 cooperative R&D projects. Did you know that Level refers to supply chain research technologies that Baiju Technology is unwilling to do on its own and cannot use from high-end partners? However, even such technologies are beyond the current top level in Europe."

Costa really tried his best. Although the existence of the European Union does not unify Europe, it has to a certain extent united Europe. France does not want the European Union peninsula to collapse. At this time, it is trying every means to bring the positions of the EU and France together.

"So, we are still watching and discussing and making decisions about an app that was created two months ago. To use a Chinese proverb, you can't even eat shit as fast as it's hot."

"Om~"

As soon as the attachments of tens of thousands of projects came out, the people in the conference room instantly lost their composure.

"If this can really be achieved, then the research results of Baiju Technology will even be greater than the sum of the results of all other countries and companies in the world!" someone exclaimed.

"No, sir, this is just what Baiju Technology doesn't want." Costa reminded the gentleman to pay attention to the difference -

For Class C projects, Baiju Technology provides ideas, technical principles, research routes, etc., and other Chinese companies are responsible for tackling key problems. Baiju Technology itself has to do more advanced Class B and Class A projects.

"call……"

The group of people became even more uneasy. They had certain psychological expectations of the strength of Baiju Technology. After all, America's satellite fell without any chance of fighting back. However, the satellite crash was nothing more than taking advantage of the satellite's communication loopholes and sending a command to change the orbit. Although they couldn't do it, they still understood the principle.

However, among these more than 10,000 pieces, each of them is technology that surpasses the world's top level, yet Baiju Technology still doesn't want them. Isn't this too outrageous?
But it is what it is.

A large group of people took a long time to digest this and finally had to accept this reality.

……

It is said that ordinary people exist in information cocoons, and this is true.

In Europe and the United States, under the deliberate exaggeration of some media, Xiaosha is a cancer. Even the incident in America where a car hit a crowd and the subsequent riots were blamed on Xiaosha in the history books.

It is said that everyone avoids it like the plague, but many ordinary people are indeed terrified by the mention of it.

However, the situation is different for people in high positions - they often have one or more teams to help them collect information, and some are even high-level think tanks.

At this moment, everyone in this conference room has two mobile phones, one of which is specifically used for Xiaosha - except for the issue of confidentiality, other times, these people are completely dependent on Xiaosha's help.

But even so, their understanding of Baiju technology information is still lagging behind.

Jose, the Spanish Minister of European Union and Cooperation, said with great emotion: "The information I have now was compiled two weeks ago."

Two weeks is not a long time in theory, especially when it comes to information about inter-national and inter-regional decision-making.

If there are no unexpected events, it will basically be a long and stable process. At least, there will not be any major changes within one term.

However, when discussing Xiaosha, before any decision has been made on our side, others have made breakthroughs and come up with new things.

At this time, each representative was looking at each other, and some were even at a loss.

They don't know how to deal with Baiju Technology, this technology company that makes new breakthroughs in the blink of an eye.

Costa was very satisfied with everyone's performance. This was the effect he wanted, so he struck while the iron was hot: "If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. America no longer has any power to fight back.

"What brain chip transplant? You guys didn't believe that nonsense from Musk, did you?"

Brain chip transplantation has been actively promoted by European media in recent times. However, that is propaganda targeting ordinary people and a means for those who are doing it to profit and make money - America has paid a lot of money to the media tycoons for this.

However, except for those who are obsessed with environmental protection, everyone else sitting here knows everything.

"Let's discuss it later!" The amount of information is too large, and most people find it difficult to digest it at this time. Moreover, they cannot make the decision for the entire country. They are just representatives.

“Then you must convey France’s ideas,” Costa said, “Our decision is that there will be no restrictions on anything related to Baiju Technology, and there will be no further discussions.

"You all know the reason. If we discuss the matter of Baiju Technology for more than two weeks, it might be too late!"

"This……"

……

Because of France's decision, the European Union is on the verge of collapse. It all depends on how the countries make the subsequent trade-offs and decisions.

As for what is happening in Europe, Hao Cheng really has no time to pay attention to it now. If he had the idea of expanding the market before, now he is fully devoted to technological breakthroughs.

After returning from the Chinese New Year, he was overwhelmed with things to do. During the first week at work, as long as he was in the company, he had no time to rest.

I have just arranged for Li Qingbo and Gao Chenyu to make comprehensive adjustments to the Xiaosha robot and develop a version without a CPU.

Any device with processing capabilities can be connected to the robot body through the Type-C interface to provide it with processing capabilities. Xiaosha Robot only provides various sensors, screens, high-fidelity and wide-range audio devices and other hardware.

Users only need to insert an old mobile phone to use the Xiaosha robot.

"I will immediately place orders with other supply chains, but the initial production capacity is only 30 million. If there are more, the supply chain will also need to add production lines."

Gao Chenyu is very familiar with the relevant situation: "Should we observe the pre-sale situation first, and then negotiate with the supply chain partners about adding production lines? Mainly for audio equipment, the specifications we want are customized and very special."

"Okay, let's open a full payment pre-sale and see what the specific orders are!" Hao Cheng nodded. The existing orders have only paid more than 5 million yuan, and there is still a long way to go. This is not so urgent:
"However, the existing orders need to be accelerated, and our own production capacity needs to be expanded. There will be a variety of robot products in the future, so there is no need to worry about waste."

"Yes!" Gao Chenyu said, "We are already discussing the land use, and the expansion will be soon!"

The Gao family is very motivated now. They have also seen that Baiju Technology is focused on progress, and most of the application and product implementation will be handed over to its partners.

As for Gao Chenyu's family, they are the elders in Hao Cheng's eyes.

Gao Chenyu also asked by the way: "Can we participate in the Class C scientific research project released by Baiju Technology?"

"You guys?" Hao Cheng was stunned. "Anyone can participate, but you need to have a basic understanding. Even with the help of Xiaosha and the fine-tuned model, the things in it are still very difficult."

"It's OK if we can!" Gao Chenyu smiled. It's easy without a foundation. We can acquire, invest, and support people with a foundation to do it.

“Ten thousand topics? No! Those are the ten thousand unicorns of the future! We can’t miss them!”

"Investment is fine!" Hao Cheng did not object to this. Some people have skills, some have money, and they complement each other. "But you must pay attention to risk prevention. I remind you, don't think there is no risk -

"If you invest, others will invest too. If you do something, others will do it too. In the end, it all depends on the results."

"Of course!" Gao Chenyu knew it without Hao Cheng's reminder, but this is indeed a blue ocean market. It depends on who can grab more market share.

As for losing money, that is impossible. The worst that can happen is to find a topic and invest in a track - all the people working on this topic will invest 100%, and no matter who wins, investors will not lose money.

"Okay then, you can go back and deal with the problems with the factory and suppliers first."

Hao Cheng glanced at his cell phone. He had something to discuss with Linzhou, and the appointment time was almost up. Gu Yufeng was even already in the reception room.

"There's really no time to calm down!" Hao Cheng came out of his office and shook his head vigorously.
