Chapter 498 The New Era
“You said Haitang was so smart when she was little, so what did she like to do?” Meng Lang asked again.
If there is one person in this world who knows the other "Lin Haitang" the most, has been with her the longest, and is the closest person, it is undoubtedly Mother Lin in front of her.
Hearing this, Mother Lin suddenly smiled.
"Reading. She has loved reading books since she was typing up. At that time, there was a library nearby, and she could stay there all day.
I also don’t like playing with my peers. Whenever I have time, I hang my own water bottle and run to the library to read. It’s rare for adults to be so focused.
But don’t mention it, this girl learns everything quickly and is very popular. She actually made a lot of friends in the library.
Even some elderly ladies with dementia can sit and chat for a long time..."
"Huh? ”
Meng Lang didn’t think it was a big deal when he heard it before. It’s all the basic behavior of the owner of the autobiography.
But when Mother Lin mentioned the old lady with "senile dementia", he was stunned for a moment.
For some reason, he thought of himself...
From the perspective of disease manifestations, the main early symptom of Alzheimer's disease is memory impairment...
An unknown method of erasing one's own memory...Alzheimer's disease...
Is there some special connection between the two?
Seeing that Meng Lang seemed to be very interested in Lin Haitang's childhood, Mother Lin smiled and waved, "Come on, Xiao Meng, come with me."
Meng Lang followed Mother Lin into a room in confusion. Not a big room.
The overall style of the room is pink, and the decoration is very warm. There are some children's books on the bookshelf, and there are some old-looking dolls and dolls on the bedside. They seem to be a little girl. bedroom.
"Auntie, is this..."
"Yes, this is the room where Haitang grew up." Mother Lin's eyes showed a hint of sadness.
"After his father and I divorced, this old house was left to me.
Later, Haitang would come back to visit me from time to time, so this room was kept. It is also a longing for me. ."
Meng Lang glanced at the entire room with a serious expression.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this may be just an ordinary children's bedroom, but in Meng Lang's eyes, there may be another clue that "Lin Haitang" once existed...
Mother Lin searched on the bookshelf, and soon found an old-looking book...
...
“This picture is from when he just turned 2 years old.”
“Pfft! You can’t tell at all, he’s chubby.”
“Yes, it’s true. The girl's eighteenth transformation, and this picture is from when she first entered kindergarten..."
"This dress is so cute, haha..."
"..."
When Lin Haitang finished cooking, took off her apron and returned to the living room, she saw the two of them talking and laughing while holding a yellowed book.
The familiar scene in front of him immediately made Lin Haitang understand what happened, and he quickly stepped forward to grab the photo album with some embarrassment.
"Mom, what are you doing with this thing?"
"What's this? Xiao Meng is not an outsider."
"That's right, besides, haven't you read mine? Isn't it too much of a double standard for Lawyer Lin to do this?" Meng Lang also teased.
"What double standards? This is personal privacy!"
Lin Haitang ran into his bedroom with the photo album in his eyes with a slight panic, and closed the door with a bang.
“Haha, this girl is so shy.” Mother Lin couldn’t help laughing.
Meng Lang smiled and said nothing, letting Lin Haitang pay attention to the "mission item". Today's main purpose has been completed.
As for the "old photo", Meng Lang had actually seen it a long time ago, including the two words on the back...
It's a pity that except for that photo and the cute face, Meng Lang is not in the album Found any suspicious clues.
I looked down at the few "precious" photos I had just captured on my phone.
Some of the images are of Lin Haitang when he was six or seven years old.
I can’t say that it is exactly like the current Xiaoyu, I can only say that it is almost exactly the same...
"It really looks like..."
Who would have thought that his whisper was actually heard by Mother Lin next to him.
"You're talking about Xiao Yu, right? They are indeed very similar. Sometimes even I feel surprised. They are obviously the same father, but they can be so similar. It's incredible.
Maybe this is The two girls are really destined for each other..."
Meng Lang was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly.
Half-mother...half-mother...
Yes! Xiao Yu and Lin Haitang have the same father and mother!
He suddenly realized a problem that he had subconsciously ignored before.
That's...why the two sisters are so similar!
In the book "The Distant Savior", Meng Lang met the "adult version" of Xiao Yu.
At that time, I almost recognized Lin Haitang at first glance, which shows how similar their faces are.
Now, even when they were young, they were almost carved out of the same mold...
It cannot be said that there are absolutely no such half-sisters with similar looks. But it's absolutely rare...
Is it because Lin's father's half of his genes is too powerful?
"Xiao Meng, why are you in a daze? Come and eat, the food will be cold in a while."
"Oh! Okay, aunt!"
......
On the other side, Lin Haitang, who had rescued his "privacy", leaned behind the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the old photo album in his hand, I didn’t know what to think of, and my expression was a little complicated.
After hesitating for a moment, I finally slowly opened the photo album...
……
Yangcheng, Juchang headquarters.
"Shuashuashua!" Mr. Yu signed, and then handed the contract in front of Gao Yuan with a smile on his face.
“Director Gao, happy cooperation!”
“Happy cooperation!”
Gao Yuan smiled and shook hands with the other party, and then handed the cooperation agreement signed by both parties to Tang Yun behind her.
After this period of technical exchanges and mutual negotiations, "computing power leasing", "optical chip procurement", "AI technical support", "software service supply" and "communication solutions" between the two parties , "Technology Complementary Agreement", "Patent Licensing Agreement"...
Many other strategic cooperation intentions have finally been officially implemented!
This means that Juchang’s communications and other hardware technologies, as well as its huge size and market, will be fully open to them.
Baiyeji’s AI technology and software products will also provide technical support for various products of Juchang in the future.
The two parties have officially entered the stage of comprehensive strategic cooperation!
“Director Gao, originally I thought I had overestimated your achievements in software, but unexpectedly I still underestimated it greatly.
Bai Yeji’s expertise in AI and intelligent algorithms The technical advantages are simply amazing!” Mr. Yu said in sincere admiration.
Due to the need for cooperation, Bai Yeji naturally opened up a considerable part of its internal product performance data to Juchang, and the test results were also extremely surprising.
I almost made a request, and within two days the solution was placed in front of you. Still no bugs could be found, and the experience was extremely smooth.
Party A’s experience was so exciting!
Because of this, Mr. Yu, who has a professional background, can deeply understand the unfathomable and terrifying strength of this company...
"Haha! Mr. Yu, you are really over the top."< br>
“No! Director Gao, you don’t have to be humble. To be honest, our chrysanthemum factory has grown bigger and bigger along the way.
But it’s always cold at high places, and the higher you go, the worse you feel. The going gets harder and harder.
Especially in terms of software, it is severely constrained, which can be said to be our absolute weakness!
The suppression this time has made the company even more difficult. After several giants in Guge targeted us, the overseas mobile phone business cannot be maintained at all.
We were originally engaged in hardware, but we were forced to invest a lot of money in independent system research and development, or even develop our own software ecosystem from scratch.
It’s not that we overestimate our capabilities, it’s that we have no choice at all!
If you don’t do it, you will be stuck by others. "Mr. Yu said with a little helplessness.
The meaning behind the words is not that we want to diversify and choose which industry to do, leaving no way for our peers to survive, but that none of the people here in China can really compete...
If we can’t make products that can meet our requirements, can we do it ourselves?
“I have been in the industry for so many years. I have watched too many ppts and listened to too many bragging and pie-making. However, in the field of software technology, I have never been able to find a partner that can keep up with us.
< br>Until you appear, I feel like I have finally found a reliable ally.
I am afraid that no other domestic company will be able to catch up with you in another five years.
>
I am already preparing to suggest that the company reduce its R&D expenditures in this area and outsource it directly.
In this way, we can have more energy and save more funds to invest in hardware research and development.
From this point of view, I must solemnly thank you, Director Gao! ”
Mr. Yu’s words are not false.
The cooperation between Juchang and Bai Yeji can definitely be regarded as a strong alliance, with the complementary advantages between the hardware giant and the software rookie!< br>
The domestic software industry has really hindered the development of enterprises.
Even a few so-called Internet giants copy whatever they can and buy whatever they can. The ppts are beautifully made, and the cores are all foreign open source...
Facing Mr. Yu These sincere words seemed to come from the bottom of her heart, but Gao Yuan just smiled faintly, noncommittally.
How could she not hear it? On the one hand, the other party expressed his gratitude, but on the other hand, he meant to reassure himself.
This has to mention the recent rumors from the outside world.
Due to the recent increasing constraints on the factory, the key overseas mobile phone business has almost been wiped out!
This gave Juchang the idea of comprehensive self-research. There are already rumors that Juchang has already begun to take action...
For example, self-developed mobile phone systems, Juchang cloud business, Intelligent driving...
In this way, to a certain extent, Juchang and Baiyeji have also formed a competitive relationship!
Chrysanthemum plant’s reputation as “paraquat in the industry” is not for nothing.
Whether they are competitors or collaborators, almost everyone regards Juchang as a scourge.
Without it, this product is so competitive!
You can become the leader in almost any line of work, stepping on the corpses of countless competitors to get to the top.
Along the way, there are almost only two types of enterprises that can be left behind.
One kind kneels down and calls daddy immediately, the other kind kneels down and calls daddy after hitting his head and bleeding...
However, in Gao Yuan's view, such statements like "We will never make mobile phones" and "We will never make cars" are unnecessary and redundant...
"Thank you, Mr. Yu, for your affirmation. In my opinion, the excellence of your company is rooted in its genes
Excellence like yours. Only through cooperation with enterprises can we promote our continuous progress.
I have benefited a lot from this visit and investigation at the Juchang headquarters. We also need to learn from you humbly in terms of company management and employee systems. . ”
Are you worried that Juchang will get rid of you if it surpasses you?
Doesn't exist!
The hidden technical advantages of Bai Yeji are enough for the whole world to catch up for ten or eight years...
Others are worried about the backlash of Juchang because rabbits cannot dance with wolves.
But they are not rabbits...
Gao Yuan's words not only express his strong confidence in his own technology, but also express the attitude of both parties to learn from each other and compete with each other.
After this period of communication, Mr. Yu was full of admiration for himself, and she, Gao Yuan, was also full of admiration for Juchang.
The strength of Juchang, apart from the so-called leadership strategy and the background of the times, the most important point is...the institutional advantage!
It does not have the name of being listed, but it has the reality of being listed!
Juchang is called a private company, but at the end of 2017, there were about 80,000 internal shareholders. This number of shareholders has far exceeded the number of shareholders of most A-share listed companies.
From a financing perspective, although it is not listed, it can raise funds from internal shareholders at any time, which is low-cost and efficient.
The low cost is reflected in the fact that its financing does not require the so-called investment banks to do their homework, which means that there is no need to pay underwriting fees or road shows, which means that the company saves a lot of listing costs.
The high efficiency is reflected in the fact that financing does not require convening a shareholders’ meeting in advance, does not require the approval of a certain exchange, and does not require the approval of a certain meeting.
As long as you look at the time span from the announcement of the financing plan by the board of directors of the Big A listed company to the final implementation, you will understand that there is no harm if there is no comparison!
Looking at Juchang, as long as the board of directors decides to expand its share capital, it can just send invitations to qualified employees, and the rest is to wait for subscriptions and payments.
Cheap and efficient equity financing further reduces the company's interest expenses.
In the same way, when internal shareholders withdraw, the company will repurchase "stocks" based on the latest net assets. Because Juchang has always been profitable, the net assets per share are also increasing year by year. In the long run, employees who hold shares will also enjoy the benefits. The company's development dividends.
It not only achieves the purpose of low-cost financing, but also gives company development dividends to all employees, completely stimulating the enthusiasm of employees...
This advanced management system is enough to satisfy any entrepreneur. Admire.
In Gao Yuan's view, Juchang's success will set an example. In the future, more and more high-tech companies will imitate Juchang's corporate system.
Of course, what bosses don’t like to enjoy exclusive profits?
If all the equity is distributed, where will the capitalists be?
This is why all the bosses clearly know the superiority of the Juchang system, but there are few imitators.
Both the capitalists and the powerful class as vested interests are actually unwilling to see the birth of a large number of chrysanthemum factory models.
Because this means that the aggregation effect of wealth has been greatly weakened!
But from the perspective of competitiveness, those backward traditional enterprises with concentrated equity are always shrouded in the fear brought about by equity egalitarianism...
They also thought about resisting and "copying homework" that failed every time.
However, some companies only talk about learning from Juchang’s fighting spirit, wolf nature and overtime culture, but they are always stingy in terms of remuneration and equity for employees.
Learning from the skin but not the bones, in the end I learned something different...
"Director Gao's courage is really admirable!" Mr. Yu heard the implication of Gao Yuan's words and smiled on his face More meaning.
However, the next moment, Gao Yuan changed the topic and said with a smile.
"But since Mr. Yu said that you plan to reduce expenditures in areas that overlap with ours, I have a proposal that we will take over the redundant technical personnel from your software department.
To be honest, we have recently The business is expanding too fast and there is a serious shortage of manpower.
We are willing to add 20% to the original salary of your employees and merge them into our technical department. What do you think of this proposal? "
"Uh... ”
Mr. Yu looked embarrassed.
Good guy, you are just following the stick, and you are still thinking about the talents of our company...
I said that we can't catch up in the short term, but I didn't say that I just raised the white flag and surrendered!
If we can’t catch up in five years, we can try to sharpen our sword in ten years!
Now you want to poach all the technical talents we have worked so hard to cultivate with just one sentence?
Everyone is familiar with it. This request is equivalent to asking yourself to cut your own flesh!
It hurts if you agree, but it hurts if you don’t agree... Are you still thinking about competing with me in these fields?
Then what he said just now was not a slap in the face?
Mr. Yu secretly complained in his heart. Only then did he realize that this Director Gao in front of him was not easy to fool. It's just an immature suggestion. If Mr. Yu thinks it's inappropriate, just pretend I didn't say it just now." Gao Yuan said with a smile.
Of course she knew that it was impossible to poach these core R&D talents from Juchang in just one sentence.
Even if the two sides are now strategic alliances.
But the asking price is sky-high, so you have to pay it back when you land...
"This..." Seeing Gao Yuan's disappointed expression, Mr. Yu felt a little embarrassed.
At this time, Tang Yun behind Gao Yuan suddenly spoke.
"Director Gao, I am also a human resources worker and know how valuable a company's scientific research talents are. The request you just made is indeed inappropriate.
But Mr. Yu, as far as I know your company has a ‘Struggler Agreement’, so many experienced employees leave every year.
We are indeed hungry for talents, you see..."
The so-called "Struggler Agreement" is the famous "35-year-old Graduation Agreement" in the industry.
This agreement has been criticized by the outside world, thinking that it is a waste of time and money, and has even given rise to the anxiety of older people such as the "35-year-old unemployment curse"
As soon as the policy came out, internal employees of Juchang were worried. It is said that there was also a lot of scolding.
But what he was scolding was not that he would be laid off at the age of 35, but why the one being laid off was not him...
Why?
Because according to this rule, all laid-off employees who have not allotted shares or whose allotment does not exceed 100,000 shares will be allotted 100,000 shares and retain all their shares.
This means lying down and doing nothing, and receiving a dividend of 18 tons before tax a year...
To be fair, although the energy of these older employees has declined, but With rich experience, even if he graduates, he will definitely be a talent that every major factory in the country is vying for.
After all, some high-end talents are in short supply and cannot be recruited on the market.
Cultivating one requires a lot of money and time.
The reason why Gao Yuan brought Tang Yun with her this time was actually for the talent reserve of Juchang!
I have just rejected someone once, and this second time, Mr. Yu really can’t say no anymore.
"This... no problem! Later I will provide a list of employees who will be assessed this year and next. Director Tang can directly enter the factory to recruit people!
But whether he can be recruited depends on Director Tang's ability. "
Tang Yun suddenly laughed like a fox.
" Haha! Then thank you Mr. Yu! "
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Mr. Yu smiled bitterly.
Okay! He has already set a trap waiting for him...
Gao Yuan showed a meaningful smile beside her.
Opening Juchang’s direct recruitment channel is only the first step. She has no intention of letting go of the largest high-end talent pool in the country.
If you want to dig, sooner or later you will have to dig away the old and the young...
Of course, the premise is to let the other party see the desperate technological gap between the two sides...
……
In Beijing, Mr. Bao, the head of Idol New Energy, who had not been seen for a long time, received an official certification document with excitement on his face.
This fluttering piece of paper.
But it means that the field of autonomous driving is about to usher in a new era... (End of this chapter)
