Chapter 117: AI Lab

On Monday morning, Meng Qian drove to San Francisco.

ONYX (Onyx). He glanced up at the group logo outside the building a few times before following Tiger. Use the dedicated elevator to the 25th floor. The 35-storey building, which is entirely the office of the group, is made up of a large number of subsidiaries.

However, there are not many people, the office is very spacious, and the overall environment and design have their own characteristics. The style is like that of those technology companies in Silicon Valley, and providing a good and comfortable working environment can better stimulate the creativity of employees, especially for high-tech companies that want to retain elites.

Tiger stepped out of the elevator: "The AI lab has not arrived, so let's deal with your troubles first." ”

Meng Qian nodded and followed him to the office of Onix Pharmaceutical.

A vice president received them, and after listening to Meng Qian's request and ideas, the vice president perfected it: "It is easy to cooperate in content, but in terms of business operation, Mr. needs a professional team." ”

Meng Qian thought of the business negotiation team that was being recruited recently, and said: "If your company can help, I am willing to pay a certain amount of remuneration." ”

This kind of help, which is already a commercial cooperation strictly speaking, is bound to have a commission.

The vice president nodded: "We are happy to help the shareholders of the company." ”

The big boss and the major shareholder are there, and they don't want to wait to be fired...... The details and information were also brought out, and after a professional evaluation by the other party, it was determined that the reasonable price of the new drug was between $6 billion and $7 billion - provided that it was strong enough.

Meng Qian never doubted that it would fail the audit, and his confidence was guaranteed.

He hopes to get more than $2 billion in cash and enjoy a share of new drug sales, at least 4.5 percent...... Correspondingly, the Onix side is responsible for the entire negotiation, and if the total price is less than 5 billion, they have a 2% share, and if it is more than 5 billion, they have 2.5%.

"Happy working together!" The two sides shook hands at the end.

After the matter is negotiated, go down the elevator again.

Meng Qian finally met the main members of the team.

Tiger introduced him first: "This is David Meng, the talent I am talking about." ”

Meng Qian greeted everyone: "Hello. ”

Shi Hu then introduced the people he brought, first of all, a white lady: "Madeleine Rosenstein, an expert in computers and artificial intelligence. ”

Madeleine Rosenstein shook his hand: "You're younger than I thought. ”

"Madame, you look young too." Meng Qian complimented.

"It's cute too." Rosenstein said gently, sweet mouths always win the love of aunts.

Tiger added a few more words: "My beautiful Madeleine, she herself is a distinguished expert of IBM, quantum computers, graphene chips, are her main and investment projects. ”

Meng Qian knows that this is a top master, and she still has the surname "Rosenstein", which is estimated to be in the same family as the Steve Rosenstein last time.

Then Tiger introduced the gentleman next to him: "David Freeman, distinguished professor at California Institute of Technology, expert in brain domain and bionic intelligence. ”

Meng Qian also expressed his respect: "It is an honor to cooperate with Mr. ”

Tiger joked: "It's also one of the many unlucky people who passed by the Nobel Prize." ”

"Please!" Freeman laughed.

"Can we put aside our 'personal grudges' for a while and discuss new technological inspirations?" Madeleine Rosenstein couldn't wait.

"I respect Madam." Freeman said.

Tiger didn't talk nonsense either: "David, well, Mr. Meng is not very old, but he gave me a bold idea, and I think I can share it with you." ”

"It's rare that you can say something like that." Madeleine said.

"I'd like to hear it again." Freeman coaxed.

Meng Qian felt that these uncles and aunts were a bit of an old naughty tendency...... Tiger didn't mind: "Whatever you laugh at, I only care about the results." ”

Madeleine suddenly asked, "What is David's value?" ”

"Me?" Freeman looked at her.

She changed her words: "Young David." ”

"Last time Tiger's daughter called me Da-veed." Meng Qian said weakly.

"Hahaha! The elf! They all laughed, but that would tell the difference between David Freeman and David Meng.

Shi Hu was also happy, opened the door of the research room with his fingerprint and password, and then said: "I haven't had a chance to test him yet, why don't you take a look now?" ”

Meng Qian asked, "What kind of test is it?" ”

David...... David popularized the English language: "Advanced IQ test." More accurate, more effective, and a small amount of prediction of the area of expertise. ”

"A result of the lab." Madeleine added, "Come here, lad. ”

Meng Qian sat in a special armchair, followed Freeman to put on a helmet full of sensors, and the patches were pasted on his head, temples, and even his chest, and the other end was connected to a computer, and then an LCD screen was pushed in front of him.

Madeleine was very attentive to him: "Relax, David, this is just a fun test for our gang, and the results won't affect anything." ”

"Thank you." Meng Qian adjusted his breathing and relaxed.

"Ready...... Begin. Freeman clicked the button and the test began.

The questions are displayed, including general knowledge, comprehension, arithmetic, graphics, etc., similar to the general IQ test answer sheet, and the sooner the better. Later, it became an abstract concept of space and dimension, and Meng Qian had to concentrate on coping with it, and his spirit was oppressed.

Half an hour later, the test ended.

Madeleine asked, "What was the result?" ”

Freeman looked at the computer and reported: "Overall 145, the average is very high, he is good at content in many fields, it is really good." ”

Madeleine said to Meng Qian again: "In our testing system, a normal person's IQ of 100 and a highly educated person of 120 or 140 or more is what people call a genius. ”

"Wow!" Meng Qian had never been tested for IQ before, and judging from the current results, the lightning had benefited a wide range of people from his transformation.

Tiger walked over and said to him: "Don't care too much about the value, it is just a reference method, it does not represent an achievement, and there are many people who are beyond the norm." ”

"I'm not worried about that." Meng Qian really didn't care about strength or weakness - he didn't rely on high IQ to eat, but the technology plug-in in his head.

Madeleine sat down: "The result is good, you have passed the passing line." But we need more discussion about whether we can participate in this plan. ”

"I accept the challenge." Meng Qian is confident.

A lot of the content that follows is testing and discussion, and the discipline of artificial intelligence covers too many fields, from philosophy and cognitive science, mathematics, neurophysiology, psychology, computer science, information theory, cybernetics, and indefiniteness...... The projects that make up it.

Even if Meng Qian was hanging, he was a little tired of coping.

But in the eyes of these top experts, it has become a surprise! David Freeman looked at the results and muttered, "How can he cut across so many disciplines?" ”

"Your IQ test system needs to be improved, isn't it?" Tiger smiled, the earlier he had come into contact with Meng Qian, the more aware of his surprise.

"It looks like we're going to add new members to our lab." Madeleine admires Meng Qian, maybe it's this guy's sweet mouth, or maybe he inspires her mother's love.

After half a day of testing, Meng Qian was accepted by everyone.

This is a place where strength is spoken, and if you have the ability, you will be respected.

At the same time, Tiger talked about the aspects beyond academics: "This AI laboratory is invested by an artificial intelligence company, and in addition to the laboratory, the company has also invested in the commercialization of AI, conceptual systems, and future platforms, and its technology and personnel are outstanding. ”

"It's a company that looks further into the future, and we look at the next 50 years, so it's not profitable in the short term, and the lab is funded mainly by the cost of technology licensing and investment grants. My standard valuation for financing is $30 billion. ”

Meng Qian wants to participate in this big gamble in the future, but he has no money at the moment: "Can you let me think about it first?" ”

"No problem, you have a lot of time." Tiger gave a lenient request, "Even if you don't invest, the technology you bring will also enjoy the benefits." ”
