Li Xiaoming passed in this way until the middle of the month, and it was not until Zhang Li informed him that Professor Wang would arrive in Rongcheng the next day that he regained his spirits.

However, since Professor Wang came to Rongcheng because of other things, the meeting time was only arranged in the evening.

It just so happens that this is also in line with Li Xiaoming's time, otherwise if he asks for leave from time to time, Lao Gu will probably be angry with him.

After school the next afternoon, Li Xiaoming and Xue Jin said goodbye at the school gate, and hurriedly took a taxi to the company.

He ran straight to Liu Minghan's office and asked, "Is Brother Zhang back?"

Liu Minghan was so busy that when he heard this, he just hurriedly raised his head to look at him, shook his head, and buried his head again and began to deal with the matter at hand.

Li Xiaoming felt bored, so he walked around the company by himself.

Before he could take two steps, the door of the company was pushed open by Zhang Li.

Li Xiaoming followed the prestige and saw the legendary figure behind Zhang Li at a glance.

He hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Professor Wang, welcome to visit our Longtu!"

Although Professor Wang had heard Zhang Li blow Li Xiaoming to the sky a long time ago, he still couldn't help but be curious about the young man in front of him, what made him have such outstanding achievements at such a young age? This is also the direct reason why Professor Wang is willing to come to meet Li Xiaoming.

"Mr. Li, hello, Zhang Li mentioned your name to me a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to have such amazing achievements so soon, I have to ask you for advice!" Professor Wang stretched out his right hand with a smile and said cordially while shaking hands with Li Xiaoming.

Li Xiaoming glanced at Zhang Li in surprise, and said curiously: "Brother Zhang?

Zhang stood in front of his teacher, and the long-lost restraint resurfaced.

He scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "When you first came to us to buy a computer, didn't we talk a lot about the development of computer accessories?"

Li Xiaoming nodded, and listened to Zhang Li continue: "At that time, I said that maybe there will be two or more cores in the future CPU, you and Xiao Chen always showed surprise, and especially agreed, in fact, this point of view was talked to by the teacher, many people think we are crazy, you and Xiao Chen are particularly agreeable, at that time I will mention you to the teacher from time to time." ”

When Li Xiaoming heard this, he rarely missed it: "That was more than a year ago." ”

Professor Wang smiled and said, "So, I've heard of your genius name a long time ago!"

"Professor Wang, you are suspected of boasting!" Li Xiaoming laughed teasingly.

"Haha, the hero sees the same thing, the gentleman is frank, why can't he say it. ”

"Haha, then Professor Wang, I think we can have a happier conversation today, let's go, go to my office and we can talk at night today?"

"I don't dare to ask for it. ”

The three of them came all the way to Li Xiaoming's office and sat down, and after Sister Liu from the Administration Department poured hot tea for everyone in a timely manner, she thoughtfully went out and closed the door.

"Professor Wang, I heard that you joined Microsoft's Asia Research Institute, what is your purpose for going?"

When Professor Wang heard this, he said without thinking: "Analysis, analyzing user habits, or in other words, finding an analysis method that can be widely applied to user habits and improve products." ”

Li Xiaoming blurted out curiously: "Big data?"

Professor Wang was stunned: "What is big data?"

Li Xiaoming patted his head in annoyance, the concept of big data was really put forward thoroughly, and it would have to be pushed back to 8 years later, and it was too early to mention this.

So he said in a different way: "I should say that I personally think that when analyzing data, we should abandon random analysis methods such as sampling surveys, and use all data for analysis and processing, so as to get the closest answer to the truth." ”

When Professor Wang heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and then he said regretfully: "It's difficult! The current data storage conditions, if you do this, the amount of money required will be astronomical." ”

Li Xiaoming nodded in agreement, and then said, "So, Professor Wang, our company is more suitable for you!"

This turn of events caught Zhang Li and Professor Wang off guard.

The two asked in unison, "Why?"

Li Xiaoming smiled mysteriously and said: "What Professor Wang is doing now is an analysis of the system users, and its characteristic is that the user is aimed at all computer users, so the amount of data must be extremely huge, and the volume that may not be enough to accommodate the world's memory may not be enough to accommodate now. ”

"But!" Li Xiaoming paused and continued: "We are a game company! If we only target the users of one game, and then carry out this analysis and comparison, the feasibility of this matter will be increased to infinity. ”

After listening to this, Professor Wang immediately felt that his two eyes emitted a light like a searchlight: "Is this true?"

Li Xiaoming said affirmatively: "Seriously." ”

"Professor Wang, I know how significant what you are doing now, I call this thing big data, also known as a huge data collection. ”

"My definition of big data is: a collection of data that cannot be captured, managed, and processed with conventional software tools within a certain time frame, and a massive, high-growth rate, and diverse information asset that requires new processing models to have stronger decision-making, insight, and process optimization capabilities. ”

"The characteristics of big data are summarized as 5V, which are: Volume, Velocity, Variety, Value, and Veracity. ”

"Professor Wang, you are such an expert, I believe that in Longtu, you can show your talents!"

Where is Professor Wang an expert, he is simply a super expert, the existence of godfathers, Li Xiaoming has moved out all the concepts of the later generations, and he still doesn't understand that he is really a fool!

The more he listened, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait to do this now, but after all, he was also an old and serious person, and he was excited, and the key issue still had to be clarified.

"Mr. Li, since you understand these things, do you have any psychological expectations for the budget for this matter?"

"Yes, if I say, at all costs, Professor Wang, you might think I'm joking, although that's my truest attitude. ”

Li Xiaoming smiled, and in Professor Wang's surprised eyes, he continued: "Then I'll be realistic! The annual investment in big data is, in principle, no more than 30% of the company's annual net profit. ”

When Professor Wang heard this, he was slightly disappointed, he had been doing core-level technical research, where would he care about the profitability of Longtu, so he subconsciously felt that there would not be too much.

It wasn't until he noticed that his proud protégé sitting next to him was snorting and his eyes were bloodshot, that he realized that things were not so simple.

So he asked tentatively: "Mr. Li, how much is the data you are talking about?"

Li Xiaoming smiled confidently and said, "Probably, it won't be less than 1 billion." ”

Professor Wang suddenly got up, shocked and inexplicable!

"Professor Wang, don't get excited, in my heart, big data is the most critical key to open the door to the future of the Internet, no matter how much investment is made, it is worth it, please rest assured. ”

"At the same time, please also seriously consider whether you are willing to take the Dragon Diagram, a Tongtian Dapeng that goes straight to the future!"
