Technology dominance starts with learning machines

Chapter 66 Planning in advance
With the current development trend of Zhilifang Technology, the existing office space will soon be insufficient.

In just a few days, batch after batch of new people joined the company.

Wan Xia also noticed that the space around her was gradually becoming crowded and narrow.

She was secretly thankful that Zhilifang Technology had reserved a separate office area for their team.

Otherwise, they would probably have to work like the employees of Zhilifang, in a cramped space, with desks next to each other, shoulder to shoulder.

They are all designers, and if the space is small, their work efficiency will inevitably be greatly reduced.

After listening to Wan Xia's description of the operation method of the headquarters building construction, Li Pingan could not help but frowned slightly and asked:
"Can it be done?"

"Well...most engineering projects, especially those like office buildings, are basically operated this way."

“We were drawing while we were doing the construction.”

Li Pingan stared at Wan Xia seriously, who remained expressionless. After a moment, he picked up his cell phone and called Lao Wu.

"Old Wu, come here."

Not long after, Old Wu knocked on the office door gently with a puzzled expression on his face, and walked in after getting permission.

He saw Wan Xia was also in the boss's office and greeted her politely.

"Old Wu, please arrange the bidding for the construction of the company's headquarters building and start construction as soon as possible."

“I don’t have any other construction requirements. The only requirement is that the construction must be strictly in accordance with the standards, especially the building materials, which must be ensured to be qualified.

As long as the construction party follows my requirements, the company will never default on payment of the project fee according to the construction progress and will definitely pay it in full and on time."

Today's construction industry is in a cold winter period, and the market competition is extremely fierce, with more people than jobs.

Li Ping'an's words "the project payment will not be delayed and will be paid on time" are undoubtedly like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, which will cause a thousand waves.

These construction companies are struggling with capital turnover in the current difficult market environment. Upon hearing such a promise, they will surely rush in like sharks smelling blood.

After all, for them, taking on projects these days does not require making huge profits. As long as they can get the project payment on time and successfully support a large group of employees in the company, it is already a blessing in disguise.

At least the company hasn't gone bankrupt.

You know, even strong state-owned enterprises will not hesitate to compete for project bidding in the face of such conditions.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Old Wu responded without hesitation.

"Well, in addition, try to buy as much land as possible around the headquarters building."

"it is good."

Li Ping'an's eyes were not only on the headquarters building, but he had also planned other buildings in his mind.

Not to mention the distant future, when the company grows bigger in the future, it will at least have to build an employee dormitory building, right?

After Wan Xia left the office first, Li Pingan called out to Old Wu who was also about to leave.

"Old Wu, wait a moment. I just thought of something and I want to tell you about it."

"Close the door first."

After Old Wu closed the office door, Li Pingan knocked on the desk gently and asked softly:
"Old Wu, do we have a whole floor for rent upstairs or downstairs? I'm planning to build a laboratory."

Although Old Wu was very curious about what kind of experiment his boss was going to do and why he needed such a spacious space on a separate floor, he did not ask any more questions.

Instead, he answered, "Our upstairs happens to be empty."

"When I first came here, I also looked at the upstairs. I didn't expect the company to grow so fast, otherwise I would have rented it."

"Rent it!" Li Pingan said firmly.

"Then I'll renovate it a bit, use part of it as an office area for employees, and reserve part of it as my temporary laboratory."

"Also, you ask HR to recruit..." At this point, Li Pingan paused slightly. After thinking for a moment, he realized that it might be difficult for HR to recruit senior researchers from those laboratories online.

So he changed his tone and said, "Forget it, I'll find a headhunter for the lab staff. Old Wu, you can just rent the upstairs and renovate it."

After Old Wu left, Li Pingan sat alone in the office, stroking his chin with his fingers, and fell into deep thought.

As the saying goes, you have to do your best to perform a play.

Under the current circumstances, it is a perfect time to plan ahead in the field of virtual reality.

Otherwise, if mature virtual reality technology results are suddenly released without warning in the future, it will inevitably attract high attention and suspicion from all parties.

There may even be a risk of being subject to various investigations and research.

Setting up laboratories in advance can not only cultivate one's own team of professional researchers, but also make the entire technological development process appear more natural and reasonable, and less abrupt.

Li Pingan has thought it all out.

As long as the most core technology is firmly in our own hands, other related technologies can be patented normally and a complete intellectual property protection system can be established.

After all, not all researchers can be expected to keep secrets.

Patent protection is like a solid legal defense line. With it, at least on the surface, one can provide strong protection for one's technological achievements.

There is no need to worry too much about the series of problems caused by technology leaks.

In this way, through the dual guarantees of exclusive control of core technologies and patent protection, one can safeguard one's own interests to the greatest extent.

It is said that there is no impenetrable wall in the world.

Li Pingan never believed that all R&D personnel could keep confidentiality.

You have to know that even the country’s secret scientific research units have leaks, let alone private enterprises.

A week later on Friday.

Zhilifang Technology released a video through Xiaofang’s account.

"Due to uncontrollable factors, the smart guide dogs had to be replaced with a new built-in chip. After the company's training and testing, the smart guide dogs using Huawei Kirin chips are more responsive."

……

After the video was released, it caused a huge uproar.

Not many people care about the reason why the chip of the smart guide dog was replaced. Instead, everyone's attention is focused on the words "Huawick Kirin chip".

Netizens have long speculated that Kirin chips are likely to be sold to the outside world.

Everyone thought that the first person to try this might be Rongyao, which was spun off from Huawei, but no one thought that the first company to use Huawei's Kirin chip would be Zhilifang Technology.

And it is used in smart guide dogs.

From the time when smart guide dogs were launched to the present day, a simple search online will yield test videos of smart guide dogs.

The effect is not perfect, but it is definitely a ray of light for the visually impaired.

And now, smart guide dogs have become the first to try out this new technology.

Suddenly, the comment section became lively.

"I am a little curious about which Kirin chip is used in the smart guide dog. It should not be the latest one. I will list the post as evidence."

"Kirin chip? I won't buy it. It looks unreliable."
