Chapter 312 WPG0311: Carbon Change! The carbon-based revolution begins! 234K【Please subscribe for monthly tickets】
The Altered Carbon team is in a very bad situation indeed.
Tan Jinming has contacted all possible connections to try to save the Carbon Change team.
However, the historical record of the Carbon Change team is too bad!
What should I do if my record cannot be checked?
The Carbon Change team has been established for more than seven years. At its peak, the total number of people in the team exceeded 100. At the same time, it consumed 175 million R&D funds from Shuimu University, but in the end no results were produced.
Although with a mere 175 million R&D funds, I hope to achieve results in the chip field, it is indeed a good idea, but what if?
Shuimu University originally had the mentality of giving it a try. Wouldn’t it be very comfortable if it won the lottery?
However, the probability of winning is too low!
It’s nearly four o’clock in the afternoon, Beiluogu Lane.
When Tan Jinming arrived at the teahouse, no one left, whether it was Li Shiyu and Zhu Guanghao, Chen Hongzhi or Gu Mingyue's small team.
Apparently they were also interested in hearing about the Carbon Change team.
Tan Jinming brought two middle-aged men with him. When he saw so many people at the scene, he first introduced himself, "Hello everyone, I am Tan Jinming. I used to be a professor at Shuimu University and the leader of the carbon transformation team. Currently leading the Carbon Change team independently. ”
Tan Jinming introduced the two middle-aged men he brought over to everyone.
"This is Niu Bosheng, a former associate professor of computer science at Shuimu University and the second-in-command of our carbon transformation team." Tan Jinming introduced Niu Bosheng, who was standing on the left.
"The person on the right is Ma Yuanjie, who was also an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science at Shuimu University and is now the third leader of the carbon change team." Tan Jinming added.
When An Wuyang heard Tan Jinming's introduction, he secretly complained, 'What kind of combination is this? ’
But this amazing combination is actually an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science at Shuimu University?
The two of them look to be around thirty years old, and they have actually become associate professors. They seem to be quite capable!
After Tan Jinming finished the introduction, Chen Hongzhi introduced Tan Jinming and said, "This is Mr. An Wuyang, the CEO of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group."
An Wuyang stood up, shook hands with Tan Jinming and the others, and then invited the three of them to sit down.
Tan Jinming just sat down and said, "Mr. An, about our carbon change team"
An Wuyang raised his hand to interrupt Tan Jinming's introduction. He asked first, "Professor Tan, let me ask a key question first."
"Excuse me." Tan Jinming responded.
An Wuyang asked, "With the support of Shuimu University, you have conducted research and development on carbon-based chips for more than seven years and spent 175 million in funds. What is your current relationship with Shuimu University?"
An Wuyang also asked Chen Hongzhi to understand this issue before, but the understanding before was relatively superficial. Now during the interview, it is natural to have a deeper understanding of the specific situation.
Facing An Wuyan's inquiry, Tan Jinming responded, "We have no relationship with Shuimu University now."
"Whether it's me, Niu Bosheng, or Ma Yuanjie, the three of us have withdrawn from Shuimu University." Tan Jinming responded.
"As for future carbon transformation projects, they have nothing to do with Shuimu University." Tan Jinming added.
At this point, Tan Jinming hesitated for a moment before continuing to add, "The optoelectronics team of Shuimu University has made breakthrough progress, and Shuimu University is more inclined to invest in the optoelectronics team."
"In addition, the microelectronics team of traditional silicon-based chips has also made certain progress. Only our carbon change team still has zero results, so with limited funds, we will naturally be eliminated." Tan Jinming said with a sigh.
An Wuyang heard the inside story. I'm afraid the relationship between the three teams is not as understated as Tan Jinming said on the surface, right?
"So your team's research and development results still belong to your team, not Shuimu University?" Li Shiyu asked curiously.
Tan Jinming responded with self-deprecation, "We have not developed any results in more than seven years."
What Tan Jinming means is that since there are no results, where does the issue of ownership of R&D results come from?
"." Li Shiyu was speechless.
Such a record is indeed too miserable!
Gu Mingyue answered, "Even if you haven't produced any research results, Shuimu University generously gave you the research data?"
There is also a data summary of failure without results, right?
Data from these failed studies are equally valuable.
Tan Jinming responded, "All research data are jointly owned by us and Shuimu University. The specific affiliation is that the research data before April 1, 2021, are unconditionally and permanently licensed to us by Shuimu University for free use."
"The new results we made based on previous research data have nothing to do with Shuimu University." Tan Jinming explained the specific situation.
An Wuyang felt relieved. Since there were no problems with the ownership and use rights of the research data, there was no need to worry about the trouble caused by hidden mines.
"Professor Tan, if your carbon change team wants to continue research, what do you need?" An Wuyang asked.
Tan Jinming responded, "Only three things are needed."
"Money, people, time." Tan Jinming added.
"We have talked before. First, we need at least 100 million yuan to build the basic framework." Tan Jinming explained while taking out a document from his briefcase, and then pushed it to An Wuyang on the tea table.
"If we want to re-establish a carbon lab, we need to purchase a large amount of related equipment. An initial investment of 100 million is the most basic. If we really want to fully roll out a comprehensive research environment, at least 1 billion will be needed." Tan Jinming added.
This corresponds to the prompt information fed back by the Happy Life system: ‘Phase 1: When the scale of investment reaches 1 billion, the carbon-based chip theoretical technology is successfully verified;’
In view of the prompt information fed back by the Happy Life system, An Wuyang naturally did not doubt the investment amount explained by Tan Jinming.
"As for the human problem, there are currently only 26 members in our carbonization team. We hope to expand the research team, for example, poaching from Shuimu University and poaching from other universities and companies." Tan Jinming added.
An Wuyang almost laughed out loud when he heard Tan Jinming said that he was poaching employees from Shuimu University!
Chen Hongzhi and Li Shiyu couldn't hold it back. They laughed directly, and others also laughed.
Tan Jinming just graduated from Shuimu University, and he can't wait to poach his former club, right?
Let’s leave aside the question of whether this is moral or not.
Anyway, Tan Jinming thinks the talents from Shuimu University are really useful!
Besides, they were already familiar with each other before, so they didn't need to get along with each other anymore, and they could start working directly. That's why Tan Jinming expressed his intention to poach his former employer.
"Mr. An, do you have any taboos about the age of your employees?" Tan Jinming asked tentatively.
An Wuyang asked, "Why do you ask this question?"
Tan Jinming responded, "If we want to poach employees, the best poachers are employees over 30 years old, especially over 35 years old. After all, in the current workplace, employees of this age are always discriminated against."< br>
"The only thing I care about is, are they qualified for the corresponding work?" An Wuyang asked.
"Of course!" Tan Jinming replied affirmatively. "In fact, in my opinion, these people are more adaptable to work." Tan Jinming added.
"For example, for a researcher in his thirties, if we ask them to work twelve hours a day, they can only work twelve hours. After all, such people are most likely to be older and younger, and their mortgage, pension, education and other expenses are all stretched. With them, how can they not work hard?" Tan Jinming explained the specific situation.
An Wuyang asked teasingly, "Has Professor Tan ever known about our fifth watch day?"
"I have checked some information about your Wu Gentian on the Internet, and I roughly know that your Wu Gentian's profit level is very high, which can fully support the research work of the Carbon Change team." Tan Jinming responded.
"You obviously don't understand our fifth watch, and you don't understand why I ask like this." An Wuyang sighed.
Tan Jinming was a little nervous. He thought An Wuyang had a taboo on the age of his employees, and he also didn't like employees over thirty years old.
An Wuyang continued, "We have no interest in exploiting employees during the fifth watch!"
"If Professor Tan wants to cooperate with our Wu Gen Tian, he must follow our Wu Gen Tian rules in the future." An Wuyang reminded.
"For example, if you work twelve hours a day, riding on a horse is not illegal?" An Wuyang teased.
"You should say that employees voluntarily work overtime, and we are willing to pay the corresponding overtime wages on the fifth day of the shift." An Wuyang added.
"Don't worry, we are quite willing to give high wages on the fifth day of the night." An Wuyang continued.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"I remember you said before that the average salary of your Carbon Change team is only 10,000, right?" An Wuyang asked.
Tan Jinming answered affirmatively, "Yes."
"I can only say that this salary level is not as good as our security guard who watches the door at midnight." An Wuyang teased.
Zhu Guanghao chuckled and answered, "I can prove this. As long as the security guard who guards the door at midnight can have more than 15,000 yuan a month, as long as he has more working experience."
? ? ?
Tan Jinming, Niu Bosheng, and Ma Yuanjie are all full of question marks.
The security guard watching the door?
Seniority?
A monthly salary of more than 15,000?
What kind of niche combination is this?
So their chip developers are not as good as gatekeepers?
"If you want to poach someone, I don't care about you, but don't do anything illegal. In addition, we will redesign the salary structure." An Wuyang added.
Tan Jinming naturally agreed.
After all, the security guards who guard the door on the fifth watch day have high wages, and even the length of service is calculated. They, the senior talents who develop chips, should also be given a lot of money on the fifth watch day, right?
No matter what, you can't be lower than the security guard?
If they are higher than security guards, then their salary is equivalent to a salary increase of more than 50%?
So their team is about to welcome a soft-hearted financial sponsor dad?
"If you are given sufficient funds and sufficient R&D personnel, how long do you think it will take to produce results?" An Wuyang asked casually.
Tan Jinming hesitated slightly, and then responded awkwardly, "I don't know about this, because there are too many unknown situations in the research and development process, so we can only ensure that we do it as soon as possible."
"Okay!" An Wuyang smiled, "This is actually my test for you!"
"Although we don't know much about the chip field, we know a lot about research and development. If you just dared to promise a time...ha!" An Wuyang chuckled. Although he didn't say the consequences, he actually omitted the consequences into one The word 'ha'.
Tan Jinming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He actually thought about setting a conservative time limit to stabilize the situation, but in the end he did not give any promise.
An Wuyang took out his mobile phone to check the information, and then continued, "We have already registered the corresponding subsidiary in the imperial capital on the fifth day of the night, but the situation has changed somewhat."
"Brother Hongzhi, please take care of this. Let's re-register two subsidiaries, one for the carbon change team and the other for Professor Wei Zhenghong's team." An Wuyang looked at Chen Hongzhi.
Chen Hongzhi responded affirmatively, "Okay, small problem."
"Professor Tan, you can start poaching people. After we register the company, we will first inject 100 million Xia Guoyuan into the new company." An Wuyang explained.
Tan Jinming answered affirmatively, "Mr. An, I have made these preparations before. We can act quickly only after we have reached an agreement and the funds have entered the market."
"In addition, we have also chosen an office location. We prefer to be in Zhongcun in the Ocean District, which is the central area of the imperial capital. If we choose this place, first of all, it can reflect our strength, and secondly, it will be more convenient to recruit corners from major universities." Tan Jin Ming explained.
An Wuyang asked, "Is there a specific location?"
"Yes, we have initially taken a fancy to the Electronic Building. It is opposite the Asia-Pacific headquarters of Microsoft Corporation, and the price is cheap enough. If we rent half a floor of 1,000 square meters, the daily rent per square meter is only 10 yuan. "Tan Jinming responded.
"Is it okay for you to do chip research in a high-rise building?" An Wuyang asked curiously.
"It's possible in the early stage." Tan Jinming replied.
"When there are results in the future, for example, when we can manufacture 14-nanometer process node carbon-based chips, we will need a higher-end environment, such as an independent factory with a hydraulic ground stabilization system, etc." Tan Jinming Detailed description.
"We are just getting started now and do not need these high-end support environments. After all, establishing these high-end support environments also requires a huge amount of funds." Tan Jinming added.
"Okay, you are professionals, you have the final say." An Wuyang replied.
"But we don't rent half a floor, we rent the whole floor directly." An Wuyang added.
"Arrange it in one step. I hope you will speed up your research, and I hope your research will be biased towards supporting the field of artificial intelligence." An Wuyang made an additional request.
Then An Wuyang expressed his vision, "We are investing in your carbon change team on the fifth day of the night to better conduct medical research and development in the future, not to let you develop general-purpose computer chips. Do you understand?"
< br>
General-purpose computer chips in the field of silicon-based chips have reached the point where they are about to touch the limits of physical rules, and the late-night genius has no interest in going in and getting beaten.
An Wuyang prefers to make artificial intelligence chips to promote Wugengtian's medical research and development.
Of course, if you can make an AGI-level artificial intelligence system.
The so-called AGI is the abbreviation of [Artificial General Intelligence/General Artificial Intelligence], which means
Simply understand it as Jarvis in the movie.
If an artificial intelligence system of this level can be achieved in the future, it will definitely be a good thing for Wu Geng Tian!
It should be terrifying to put this level of artificial intelligence system into the field of drug research and development, right?
