Technology dominance starts with learning machines

Chapter 42 Interview
Outside the box, Wan Xia, dressed in a simple and elegant outfit without makeup, was pulled by Wang Jingwen and walked quickly to the slightly hidden emergency staircase at the end of the corridor.

I looked around and saw that there was no one around.

Wang Jingwen then leaned closer, lowered her voice, and asked expectantly:

"Xia Zi, I often hear you praising your design team to the skies, saying how awesome and powerful they are.

You have to tell me the truth today, is it true or just bragging?"

Although Wang Jingwen knew that the design team members under her best friend were all top students who graduated from prestigious universities and had impressive resumes, she also understood that a high level of education did not necessarily mean that the design plan would be outstanding.

Wan Xia is so smart, how could she not hear the hidden subtext in her best friend's words.

I immediately understood what he meant - he was trying to introduce business to me!

As the saying goes, a blacksmith must be strong himself. Without saying a word, Wan Xia quickly took out her mobile phone from her pocket and swiped across the screen quickly with her slender fingers.

After a while, he found the information of major customers that the company had cooperated with over the years in the photo album, as well as the photos of those impressive construction projects that had been completed and put into use, and showed them to Wang Jingwen one by one.

At the same time, he confidently introduced: "Wenwen, look at these, they are all the real design results of our company, and they were all designed and completed by me personally."

Although the two of them have a strong friendship, at this moment Wang Jingwen is thinking about her students.

She couldn't let her students down.

Wan Xia saw the hesitation on Wang Jingwen's face and quickly said:

"Wenwen, don't worry, our company is currently in a project window period and has no work on hand.

If we can get the project now, all team members will work hard and devote 100% to the design work to ensure that there will be no delays.

As for the price, given our friendship, I will definitely give you the most affordable and favorable price and will never put you in a difficult position."

……

The moment the call was connected, Wang Jingwen, who was usually calm and capable in front of her students, suddenly became inexplicably nervous, and her hand holding the phone unconsciously tightened slightly.

"Li Ping'an, the teacher has a close friend here who is a professional designer with excellent skills. Do you want to meet her and have a chat?"

In front of her students, Wang Jingwen has always been honest and has never concealed the fact that Wan Xia is her best friend.

She knew clearly that if this matter was kept secret and was discovered by students in the future, it would inevitably breed distrust between teachers and students and destroy the originally harmonious teacher-student relationship.

"Okay." Li Pingan readily agreed on the other end of the phone.

Then he asked, "Teacher Wang, is it now?"

Wang Jingwen subconsciously looked at Wan Xia beside her, and seeing her nodding continuously, she quickly replied:

"If it's convenient for you now, that's fine."

"it is good!"

After receiving the location sent by the counselor, Li Pingan sent the computer to the incubation base and walked out of the campus.

An hour later, Li Ping'an arrived at the coffee shop located by the counselor.

As soon as he stepped into the store, his eyes quickly scanned the inside of the store. As expected, the first thing that caught his eye was the counselor's familiar and friendly face.

The lady sitting next to me should be the designer friend mentioned by the counselor on the phone.

There is no trace of makeup, and her face is dotted with pockmarks. Judging from her facial features, passers-by would not even give her a second glance. But she exudes a different kind of intellectual temperament, and her every move is calm and capable, which inexplicably gives people a sense of trust that she is reliable and trustworthy.

"Li Pingan, this way~"

Wang Jingwen was sharp-eyed and when she saw Li Pingan at the door, she immediately waved enthusiastically and called him over.

When Li Ping'an came over, Wang Jingwen asked with a smile:
"What would you like to drink? The teacher will treat you."

Li Pingan was not polite and responded softly: "Matcha Frappuccino, thank you, teacher."

Wang Jingwen quickly helped him take the order. After Li Pingan took his seat, she sat between the two of them and formally introduced them:

"This is the designer I told you about on the phone, Wan Xia."

"Hello." Wan Xia greeted politely.

I already knew some information about Li Ping'an in advance, and knew that Li Ping'an was still a student.

But she knows clearly in her mind that in the current fiercely competitive business environment, the Party A who holds the project is the "God of Wealth" and the "living ancestor".

How can we be careless and look down on others just because they are students?

"Hello." Li Pingan nodded.

After a few polite words, Wan Xia gently pushed the phone in front of Li Pingan and introduced it sincerely:
“These are the architectural achievements designed by my team.”

After looking at the pictures after Wan Xia's enthusiastic introduction, Li Ping'an nodded slightly.

Judging from the effects presented in the photos, these architectural designs are indeed unique and eye-catching.

However, he knew in his heart that what was shown was most likely the bright and glamorous side, and the actual situation still needed further investigation.

Even in front of the teacher, he did not hesitate and asked directly the name of the other party's company.

Then he took out his mobile phone, opened the latest version of the Pokemon software, entered the company name and started searching.

After some research, he had a general understanding of the company's strength, reputation and other information.

"If the design is handed over to your team, how will the design fee be calculated?" Li Ping'an raised his eyes, looked at Wan Xia, and asked straight to the point.

Wan Xia first glanced at her best friend Wang Jingwen, who was drinking coffee slowly with her head down. After a pause, she said calmly:
"The normal office building design fee is 8 yuan per square meter on the market. If there are special requirements for the project, the price will naturally be slightly higher."

At this point, she changed the subject and continued with a firm tone:
"However, if you trust my team and are willing to give this job to us, and if you don't have any special requirements, I can give you a design fee of 7 yuan per square meter."

Before Li Ping'an came for the appointment, he took the time to check the market price of the design fee. When he compared it with the price quoted by Wan Xia, he found that they were indeed very similar.

But for his project, special requirements are definitely indispensable.

Li Pingan thought for a moment, organized his words, and slowly said:
"To be honest, I do have some special requests.

In my plan, this building is not only an office space, but also has to have a dedicated laboratory.
In addition, the company has extremely high requirements for servers, and the computer room area must have a high degree of confidentiality and security. It is a multifunctional building that combines office, laboratory, and computer room into one.”

"Office, experiment and computer room three in one? The computer room and laboratory must also ensure confidentiality and security." Wan Xia quickly grasped the key point and confirmed.

"That's about what I mean." Li Pingan nodded.

At last, as if he suddenly remembered something, he added: "By the way, I don't know if Teacher Wang told you that the land I got is in Luzhou."
