Chapter 65

As an important sub-provincial city in Bohai Province, Dagang itself has a lot of economic exchanges with Japan, so much so that as early as the 90s, it opened a direct flight route with Tokyo.

There are many Japanese people working and doing business in Oko, and in the 21st century, the two places are becoming more and more connected, and flights between Oko and Tokyo are available every day.

Junichiro Izumida looked at the exit of the station a little nervously, until the dust servant obviously did not have a rested Abe truth appear in his field of vision, and then he hurriedly ran up.

"Minister A, why are you here in person!" Junichiro Izumida was a little surprised, bowed and said hello and asked.

"Don't say these kind words yet, this is Professor Kentaro Wakabayashi, the chief scientist of Toyota Automation Laboratory." Mari Abe explained to the two, "This is Junichiro Izumita, who proposed the plan to increase the automation rate, and is currently in charge of Toyota Electric's expansion project. ”

"Izumita-san, are you sure that the technique you are talking about is really mastered by the Chinese?"

"Yes!" Izumita's expression was solemn, and he nodded: "This improvement project was previously cooperated by Toyota and China SIASUN, and Fengxin Company is the outsourcing service provider of SIASUN. Hyacinth was initially conservative about the project's effectiveness. The initial goal was to increase the productivity of the robotic arm by five to ten percent, but then their chief software engineer, Feng Wuji, found a man named Hou Shida out of nowhere......

Izumita gave all the information he knew to Abe Truth and Sauce. As Abe listened as he walked, the expression on his face became more and more serious.

"You mean to say that this Hou Shida is just a student who hasn't even graduated from college?"

Although Abe Mari had known about this for a long time, he was still a little incredulous when he confirmed it from Junichiro Izumita.

He shook his head and said with some emotion: "Today's young people are really terrible. Professor Kentaro Wakabayashi, what do you think about this person? ”

"Hou Sang is undoubtedly a genius, many geniuses have similar experiences to him, and the step-by-step learning in school does not show their level. Many geniuses were able to do this at a young age, and as they grew older, some of them disappeared, and some of them became the cornerstone of the history of science. ”

"Let's go, let's go meet this Hou Shida." Abe Mari's gaze couldn't hide, casting a trace of fear.

……

Hou Shida sat in the VIP lounge of the headquarters of Fengxin, where Fengxin came to entertain the top guests. The whole reception room is extremely luxuriously furnished, with a thick wool carpet imported from Turkey under the feet, and the entire decoration and furniture are designed and manufactured by designers hired from Germany.

In front of Hou Shida, Feng Wuji introduced him to a middle-aged man who looked forty or fifty years old.

"This is Jiang Chengjiang, the president of our Fengxin Company, and this is what I have always said about the program genius Hou Shida."

"Chief Engineer Feng is polite, I'm just a student who hasn't graduated from college yet." Hou Shida smiled, did not take Feng Wuji's praise seriously, and his expression still looked humble.

Jiang Cheng sat on the sofa and shook Hou Shida's hand gently, capital always has an advantage over geniuses. For the upper echelons of society as a whole, geniuses are like beauties, and for ordinary people they are scarce resources. But for those who have capital, genius is nothing more than a tool. Genius produces technology that enables capital to grow and develop. But there is no shortage of geniuses in this society itself, and as long as you have money, you can always choose between several options. And geniuses, unless they become the masters of capital, are still just pawns.

Hou Shida's humble expression made Jiang Cheng a little satisfied, and he muttered: "I heard Feng Wuji say, Mr. Hou wants to talk about some cooperation with me?" ”

"To be exact, I want to give Mr. Jiang a chance to cooperate with me." Hou Shida smiled gently, but the words he spit out made Jiang Cheng put away his smile.

"I know that Mr. Hou has some important technology in his hands, and he needs your help for the current Toyota project. However, I must state in advance that a portion of the remuneration has already been paid, and there is no possibility of increasing the remaining remuneration. ”

Hou Shida smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "Mr. Jiang has a misunderstanding, I have no intention of going back on my word." Since the remuneration has already been received, of course, there is no reason to temporarily increase the price. And if Mr. Jiang's eyes are just like this, then I will really be a little disappointed. ”

A fine light flashed in Jiang Cheng's eyes, and all the expressions on his face settled in an instant. A good businessman is, first of all, a good actor. The reason why he stirred up the topic of remuneration was that he didn't really care about Hou Shidana's labor cost of 100,000 yuan.

The president of Fengxin, a dignified listed company, a player worth less than a billion yuan, will he care about hundreds of thousands of remuneration for kidding? The more he said it, the more it actually showed that he didn't care. It was just to hand over a handle, so that Hou Shida could bargain with him comfortably.

When he said this, he just thought that Hou Shida, a student who was only a student, even if he was technically talented, was a complete chick in the mall. The image recognition technology used in Toyota Electric Factory is only the installed capacity of a few robotic arms, and the profit generated is millions of yuan.

But Jiang Cheng, as an expert in embedded systems, saw the potential of this technology at a glance.

Don't forget, this is just one part of the application on the motor. And Toyota Electric's production line can make similar improvements, no less than dozens.

Aside from Toyota Electric, how many places can be replaced with image recognition technology for all parts and production lines of Toyota automobiles, and how many jobs can be reduced by image recognition to reduce labor intensity?

If image recognition technology were to be disseminated throughout Toyota's entire production system, the entire automation rate would be increased by 10 to 15 percent, or even by 20 percent, given the delicate characteristics of the Japanese. How much is at stake? Just looking at the fact that Mari Abe, the head of Toyota's technical department, personally flew to Dagang overnight, it can already be imagined.

If Hou Shida can be coaxed, Feng Hyacinth may be able to cut a piece of this big cake.

"Hmm-"

Jiang Cheng nodded helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "It's me who underestimated Mr. Hou, Fengxin should indeed show his sincerity." Toyota Electric's order is nothing more than a mosquito leg, and the real feast is actually pushing Toyota to upgrade the entire automation control system. This is at least hundreds of millions of dollars in business, and Mr. Hou, as the master of the core technology, should do his best to meet any requirements. ”

Hou Shida was stunned, and couldn't help but look Jiang Cheng up and down. On the surface, Jiang Cheng is indeed a successful person. He was wearing a delicate handmade suit, his shoes were shiny, and the watch that occasionally flashed on his wrist was even more low-key and luxurious, and even the tie clip was studded with a crystal diamond.

And his every move looks like a strong atmosphere. Although there was no movement on the sofa, the whole person exuded an extremely oppressive aura, and at first glance he was a person who had lived on the top of the people for a long time.

If measured by the prevailing standards in society, no matter how you look at it, Jiang Cheng should be a successful upper-class elite.

To be able to make such a person say such a thing as "try his best to be satisfied", Hou Shida should be more or less proud.

But Jiang Cheng's confession did not make him feel uplifted at all, but let out a long sigh. Looking at Jiang Cheng's gaze, he couldn't say whether he was disappointed or helpless.

His expression made Jiang Cheng a little puzzled. After he and Feng Wuji discussed, both of them agreed that Hou Shida should want to cooperate on Toyota's big project today.

But of course, as a party with strong capital, Jiang Cheng wants to completely control Hou Shida in his hands. From the deliberate contempt at the beginning, to the openness and honesty at the back, this is the rhythm of the conversation he carefully arranged, in order to trap Hou Shida. In order to achieve this purpose, Jiang Cheng can cheat, but if he can't, he will coax, and in his plan, it should be the time for Hou Shida to make an offer.

You must know that for Hou Shida, Fengxin certainly has a great advantage, but it is not irreplaceable. In China, Fengxin is the leader in the industry, but it is not without challengers.

If Hyacinth loses the project, it loses twice as much - the competitor is stronger, and it loses the profit it deserves.

And since Feng Xin has shown an attitude of giving and taking, why does Hou Shida seem to have done something wrong in Jiang Cheng?

"Please forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, how big does Mr. Jiang think the market for image recognition technology is?" Hou Shida coughed and restarted the topic.

"While the technology is good, not all robotic arm systems need to be replaced. If it is really promoted, the scale of four or five billion US dollars a year should be the limit, right? ”

Jiang Cheng's prediction is not wrong, image recognition is not needed by all robotic arms. A production line that can have several robotic arms with this function should be able to meet the demand.

The entire global robotic arm market itself is limited, and as a market segment, this special robotic arm can have a scale of hundreds of millions of dollars per year.

Hou Shida shook his head and said disappointedly: "How big the market can be, please allow me not to say my own opinion for the time being." Embedded systems are widely used in industrial manufacturing, and I think Mr. Jiang should be familiar with this aspect. Excuse me, have you heard of Industry 40 or Made in China 2025? ”

Jiang Cheng shook his head blankly and asked strangely, "I've never heard of these two words, what do they mean?" ”
