As mentioned above, in addition to the company's office in Beijing, Yuanfang Technology's R&D department has been completely transferred to the suburbs of Beitong.

This is where Zhou Fangyuan's farm is located, the land is sparsely populated, the scenery is good, and guarding such a large farm, eating and drinking is absolutely not worried, and it can also ensure health and livelihood, theoretically, this is much better than the small yard on the outskirts of the capital.

And they don't know how to cook, the meals they eat every day are specially made by the chef of the distant food company, the distant food company is now a big business, the product range has spanned China and the West, and the various types of food produced are almost all imaginable here, and there are semi-finished products in the supermarket. Of course, there are no ones that are too special, such as truffles or something, and the farms of the Far Side Group can't produce them. But for the Western food that is generally ordered, it is not difficult for the Yuanfang Group to make it at all.

The chefs are also very helpful, in addition to the earliest batch of chefs, the subsequent chefs have basically considered the combination of things when recruiting, and intentionally hired some chefs of Western dishes. The earliest batch of chefs almost didn't know how to cook Western food, but these people's learning energy is too strong, they taught themselves, and there are several people who are proficient in Chinese and Western food at the same time. Now in Yuanfang Food Company, although the salary is not so much, Zhou Fangyuan has given them dry shares, so that their income can be increased as much as possible.

And now they are not in charge of the front-line work, but only exist as leaders or guides.

Andy's team's daily food is made by these chefs or chefs' apprentices, and I dare not say that it is absolutely authentic, but for these programmers who usually have no guarantee of eating, this kind of life is already very good. Anyway, they are quite satisfied, even the people who complained the most about coming to work in Huaxia at the beginning, now they have no complaints.

There is no way to complain, it is easy to eat, use and live well, and the boss is willing to spend money, so that they can continue to develop more cutting-edge technology products.

The previous S1 mobile phone, as well as the S mobile phone under development, is a clear proof of this.

In addition to this, there are many small inventions, some of which they made before, and because no one is optimistic about them, they don't care. Others are based on the ideas provided by Zhou Fangyuan, such as the AR technology they are developing recently.

AR, also known as augmented reality, is a technology that calculates the position and angle of a camera image in real time and adds corresponding images, videos, and 3D models. This technology has been proposed since the 1990s, but for various reasons, there has been no significant development. However, with the increase in the computing power of portable electronic devices, it is expected that the use of augmented reality will become more and more extensive.

However, there are still many problems to be faced and dealt with in the practical application of AR technology, and basically, it is impossible to really use it for civilian use within ten years. But Zhou Fangyuan said that it doesn't matter, they can study it slowly, even if they take detours, it doesn't matter, if the funds are not enough, the group will give it. If you don't have enough talent, then go and recruit.

What is the most important thing for a R&D team?

If there is money and people, then any kind of technology can be invented, of course, provided that capital has enough patience. At present, Zhou Fangyuan's patience is there, and he himself knows that AR is the general trend. Just like the Internet, the Internet has changed human lives, and AR has the power to do so. It is said that games are another world, but this statement is not entirely correct, it is just a statement for addiction to games.

But AR is different, if AR technology can really mature, it will open up a new world. If you go further, just like the inside, even the brainwave subconscious can be used, that is the second world in the real sense, but it is even more distant, in fact, until Zhou Fangyuan was reborn, AR technology is still only preliminarily mature, and there is still a long way to go if you want to be completely civilian.

But it doesn't matter, just like a mobile phone, since he knows that this thing is a general trend, what's wrong with investing now? When other companies want to enter the game, maybe the Yuanfang Group has initially completed the research and development, and even can go further to truly achieve the level of civilianism, and he can't think about how big the market will be at that time. So the investment is completely worth it now, and besides, if it's just scientific research, it doesn't really cost much.

After all, Andy's team is limited, and the main R&D tasks are Android and S phones, and S1 phones have already generated at least tens of millions of dollars in profits for the company, and it is no problem to use this money for follow-up development. The entire AR technology department now only has five employees, and with the strength of five people, how much can it cost even if it is scattered? Zhou Fangyuan doesn't care at all.

When they came to the manor, Andy and the others had just had lunch, and they met the master who came to cook at the door, and had a brief chat with the other party.

At first, Zhou Fangyuan was still worried, worried that the other party would be dissatisfied because he asked him to come over and cook for a bunch of crooked nuts.

But it turns out that Zhou Fangyuan thinks too much, if he just cooks and is a chef, he may really be unhappy. But these are crooked nuts, Western food or something, in the final analysis, crooked nuts have more right to speak, and the master sent by Zhou Fangyuan, he has the heart to go further in the field of Western food, so it is still necessary for a chef to understand the tastes of customers, understand the demands of customers, and know what is the difference between the Western food he makes and the orthodox Western food.

Therefore, the master chef did not have any dissatisfaction, but was very happy, he felt that his cooking skills in Western food had improved again, and even the cooking skills in Chinese food also had some meaning.

It's like a martial arts master, after learning a hundred martial arts, after mastering it, he has his own ideas, and this master has a little bit of this meaning now.

Zhou Fangyuan looked at the other party's red face and felt very interesting, and sent the other party away after a few words of encouragement, looking at the back of the master driving away, he still wondered in his heart, a master like this still has to be wooed well. In the future, Zhou Fangyuan, the catering industry of Yuanfang Group, hopes to go further, and when the time comes, there will be a need for more masters who can control the field, like this, is a master cultivated by his own company, and his loyalty is definitely higher than that of those directly hired, and it is easy to use, so it is right to attract Duoduo.

But this is just an idea, let's put it for now, and then think about it slowly when we have a chance.

Thinking so, Zhou Fangyuan closed the car door and walked towards the manor.

This manor was not originally a manor, it was originally a large farm that Zhou Fangyuan's family bought at the beginning, and it used to play a very important role. However, now its role has become smaller and smaller, with the development and growth of the Zhou family, a large number of farmland around Beitong has been contracted by the Zhou family, forming one large farm after another, the most typical, is that almost all the land near the Golden Beach has been contracted by the Yuan Group, and the watermelons of the Golden Beach have almost become the private goods of the Zhou family. Of course, the Zhou family alone will definitely not be able to eat all these watermelons, and even giving away people all over the world is only one ten-thousandth of them. The rest are all put on the market, and some are sold through e-commerce platforms, and there are many farms like this around Beitong.

Now this one here is not the largest in area, not the most output, and has no characteristics, except for commemorative significance, it seems to have little value.

So Zhou's father renovated this place, except for the necessary farmland that cannot be moved casually, other places either planted trees or built gardens, spent a lot of money, and it has become a very beautiful manor.

It's a pity that the manor has just been completed, and Zhou's father and Zhou's mother haven't moved in yet, and Andy's team was sent over by Zhou Fangyuan.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Fangyuan finally decided to let Andy and them live here, and now that the weather is warm, Zhou's father, Zhou's mother, and grandparents and grandparents all live on the island in the middle of the lake. The environment there is better, the air is good, and it is not easy to be disturbed.

The two old men occasionally play chess at the top of the stone tower while drinking tea while watching the scenery, and the two old ladies plant flowers and trees in the yard, in short, life is happy, every time they come back to see the happy appearance of the old man, Zhou Fangyuan is also very happy.

Well, the gossip is out of the way.

Walking into the manor, the third brother was sitting in front of the house basking in the sun, and when he saw Zhou Fangyuan, he hurriedly beckoned.

"You're comfortable, what's the matter, the company doesn't care, you brag and fart here all day long and enjoy life? I said third brother, you haven't reached the age of retirement, you have time to go out to play sister, it's good to get me a sister-in-law." ”

It is said that the one before the third brother has been divided, he made the other party's belly bigger, and he was ready to get married, but it turned out that the other party stepped on several boats, and it was not clear who the child was, and the third brother was angry and wanted to break up with the other party, and the other party did not give up, only asked for 300,000, and disappeared forever.

The third brother is also a rich man now, and he has been following Zhou Fangyuan, and several of Zhou Fangyuan's companies have his shares, and the annual dividend is several million. In addition, Zhou Fangyuan pointed out the land he won in the city, although it is not much, but it is a prime location, last year and most of this year, the third brother of these plots sold two pieces, not to mention tens of millions, and the rest of the land was also rented out, with an income of more than one million a year, he is really a rich man.

According to his own words, he can now find a hundred young models in one go, and then build a villa, and live happily with a hundred beauties in the villa.

But he just said it, anyway, Zhou Fangyuan has never seen him take actual action, let alone a beauty, and he hasn't even seen the villa.

"Phew, you're embarrassed to say, tell me, your team, can you rest assured that you can leave them here? Hmph, if you don't have me watching, you can be so idle? And say that I, I don't have time to find a partner to blame you, I don't have time to accompany people when I find a partner, and I don't dare to get here, it's all your responsibility!"

The third brother sat up, pointed at Zhou Fangyuan and scolded angrily.

Zhou Fangyuan scratched his head, "Okay, okay, my fault, but don't worry, it won't be long before you can relax." ”

Zhou Fangyuan could only say this.

That's right, as long as the first version of Android is successfully developed, smartphones can start to try, and patents can be started. Once the patent is in hand, there is no need to be so strict with it, the patent law will protect his rights and interests, even if someone really steals the technology, as long as he dares to use it and is discovered, Zhou Fangyuan will be able to make a profit. Now the system has not yet been developed, and there is still danger, although this danger is ridiculous, who would have thought that in the suburbs of such a small city as Beitong City, Huaxia, there will be a world-famous mobile phone operating system will come out?

No one could have imagined it, so there was basically no possibility of commercial espionage.

But Zhou Fangyuan also wants to ensure that nothing goes wrong, so he can only be careful in all aspects to ensure that there will be no accidents before it is really completed.

"Well, you know. ”

The third brother went limp again, took a sip of iced coffee, turned his head to look at Andy and the others in the room who were busy working, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Xiaoyuan, sometimes I really wonder, how long is your brain, why do you always think of those strange ideas, and still make them come true? Mobile phones, a few years ago, were still luxury, but look at today, mobile phones have begun to popularize, originally I thought that the current mobile phone is very remarkable, but after seeing the system developed by Andy, seeing the fantasy of the future mobile phone, I feel that the future mobile phone will be far more powerful than the current I don't know how many times, seriously, Xiaoyuan, I can't understand you anymore, you said, you also grew up with me, and it used to look very ordinary, why has it become so powerful now?"

"Haha, people always grow!"

Zhou Fangyuan scratched his head and said with a smile.

He can't say that he was born again, there is no way to explain this kind of thing, so he just used a pretense.

"Also, people will always grow, right, Xiaoyuan, do you know about that?"

The third brother suddenly looked at Zhou Fangyuan, with light in his eyes.

If he hadn't known that the third brother's orientation was absolutely normal, Zhou Fangyuan would have wondered if this guy had "bad intentions" towards him.

"What's the matter?"

He didn't know why.

"A month ago, in the capital, blue speed. ”

Well, Zhou Fangyuan knew, of course he knew, that the first nationwide overhaul of Internet cafes in his previous life started from this incident.

"Nearly two years ago, you asked me to give up the Internet café in my hand, I thought you were just afraid of the surname Xu, at that time I was actually very dissatisfied in my heart, let's make money honestly, even if he is capable? Later, you tried to bring him down, I thought I could reopen the Internet café, but you stopped me. You know what? I was actually very unhappy, and I felt like you were targeting me on purpose. But since I saw the news some time ago, it dawned on me that if this happened to me, I thought, I'm afraid I'll go to jail too.

Xiaoyuan, tell me, how do you know that something will happen to an Internet café? Fortunately, it was you who completely dispelled my idea of opening an Internet café, otherwise I would have run into trouble sooner or later, this matter, brother has to thank you, if it weren't for you, brother would be really in trouble. ”

The third brother said sincerely.

Zhou Fangyuan chuckled when he heard this, of course he knew that something would happen in an Internet café, and in a place like an Internet café, where the fish and dragons were mixed, and the various management systems in the early stage were seriously irregular, wasn't it normal for an accident to happen? If nothing happens, it would be lucky, but people can't always pin their future on luck.

"Third brother, it's far away to say this, you are my brother, we have been brothers all our lives, helping you is helping myself, don't say this kind of thing again in the future. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.
