There is a very famous law in this world, called the Twenty-Eight Rule, which can also be called Ballett's Law if you want to improve the force.

This law is widely used in various sociology and business management, and it may sound lofty, but it is actually very simple to explain, and many people have heard of it.

For example, 80 percent of the world's wealth is in the hands of 20 percent of the people, and for example, 80 percent of the performance of an enterprise is created by 20 percent of the core talents.

Huaqing Miscellaneous Research Institute is not an enterprise, and Xu Mengchang was okay with it before, but after Tang Puding had a long talk with him today, Xu Mengchang has realized that the future of Huaqing Miscellaneous Academy is not what he imagined.

He even had a vague feeling that Tang Pudding was definitely not the kind of student who would choose to graduate in just four years.

Of course, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Huaqing University, but it is a big thing for him.

Although Huaqing Miscellaneous College is not a company, but the rule of 28 is still the rule of 28, if he, the head of the department, wants to sit firmly, he has to get rid of the previous mentality, can not let himself appear very idle all the time, idle to have nothing to do to go to the student's dormitory building to hang around, but from today on, he must take the initiative to take on more things and be the core talent of the 20%.

As for how?

First of all, he has to do what he does best......

Since Tang Puding wants to develop Huaqing Miscellaneous Academy into an existence on the same level as Huaqing in the future, then it is right for him to work hard in this direction.

As for how to work hard?

First of all, he did his best to get these people in front of him! This is the task that he must do his best to accomplish now.

Of course, in terms of strategy, he can choose for himself, such as choosing pride or Corporal Lixian, obviously Xu Mengchang is inclined to the former, not that Xu Mengchang is a particularly proud person, but now this pride is one of the characteristics of the Miscellaneous Academy.

On the battlefield, the character of a general often subtly affects the temperament of a unit, and it is the same here. No matter how lax or unreliable Tang Pudding usually is, the kind of pride that is deeply imprinted in his bones is unquestionable.

So people who have been with Tang Pudding for a long time have more or less this kind of proud temperament.

The opportunity is in front of you, will you come or not?

Of course, it is your loss if you don't come, and if you miss this village, there may not be this store in the future!

In fact, the effect is also obvious.

A father Ma in Huaxia summed up a sentence that the employees of a company frequently change jobs, either because the boss does not give enough money, or they are really wronged. But the reality is obviously not that there are only these two, for example, for the people of Josel now, the attraction of higher-level technology is obviously greater. It was even so big that they really had the intention of giving up everything and working in the miscellaneous academy at this moment.

Of course, it's just a momentary impulse, after all, for these people, it's not so simple to make a decision.

First of all, they have a contract, and secondly, after all, Huaxia is too far away from Europe, from the Western Hemisphere to the Eastern Hemisphere, the statement that it is thousands of miles apart seems too reluctant, and they need to overcome many obstacles in life to live in China, which is indeed a relatively dilemma.

Of course, the reason why the entire Alpha dog team remained silent and silent was that there was also a senior technical president of Google here at this meeting. DeepMind, after all, is a subsidiary of Google's acquisition and sponsorship, and people invest a huge amount of money in the company for their research.

"Actually, I learned about the situation of DeepMind on the way here, and I also knew that if it was just poaching people, it would be better to let Mr. Derek avoid it first, but then I thought about it, to be a man, you should be open, with the strength of our miscellaneous academy, there is really no need to do any small actions behind the scenes. ”

Xu Mengchang smiled, as if the reaction of everyone had already been expected, and continued without saltiness: "To put it bluntly, this time I came to talk to you, mainly in the direction of artificial intelligence deep learning, just the idle pen of our miscellaneous college, in other words, this technology is not our main direction at all, but since we have made some achievements, it would be a pity if we didn't find some people to continue." ”

"The team at Alpha Dog is doing similar research, and if your team can take over our technology and continue to work on it, it will be quicker to get started. If you are not interested, we may put this project on hold for the time being, and when we meet the right person, we will reopen the project, but Tang Puding feels that it may be embarrassing for everyone to do so, so I asked me to ask for everyone's opinions. ”

These words are about to kill the day.

Roughly to explain the meaning, we came up with a Go program that is better than the alpha dog, and it was purely a matter of effort. The technology you have been working on for a few years is not worth mentioning in our eyes, it is just a chicken rib. If you don't come, you can of course continue to delve into what you call deep neural network learning techniques, but remember, just because we've put this project on hold doesn't mean we're giving up completely.

Maybe one day when you're about to get results, we'll have someone to restart the project. Maybe when the time comes, you will study and study casually, and what you continue to study will become something that you can't get your hands on.

If it weren't for Tang Puding's account casually abusing Alpha Dog Yuan, or these people would only think that Xu Mengchang was too arrogant.

But the facts have proved that what Xu Mengchang said is the truth.

A very simple timeline will prove this, Mind was founded, and began to work on the general deep learning methods that are the basis of Alpha Dog.

And Huaqing Miscellaneous College has only been full for half a year since its establishment.

It took DeepMind six years to come up with the Alpha Dog and in 2017 it had the courage to start challenging the world's top players.

And Huaqing Miscellaneous Academy casually threw out a program and killed their proud Alpha Dog Yuan in seconds. It's not just a spike, it's just pressing their alpha dog to the ground and rubbing it. Until now, the different programs of the two companies are still hanging in the world of Go to fight, so far, Alpha Dog Yuan has not won a game, what is even more terrifying is that now the program progress of the Miscellaneous Academy is becoming more and more obvious, the thinking process is getting shorter and shorter, and often the middle game can make Alpha Dog Yuan directly admit defeat.

So now the question before them is acute.

There are already similar technologies in the world that are more advanced and efficient than theirs, does it make sense to continue their research?

Of course, in Joseph's opinion, it probably makes sense.

After all, this deep neural network learning technology isn't just for playing chess.

Their real goal is to change the real world by applying this technology to every aspect of people's lives. However, DeepMind faces a very serious real problem, and so far, DeepMind still has no mature way to monetize.

In other words, DeepMind has not been able to make money so far, and its losses are gradually increasing every year, let alone making profits. Without continuous blood transfusions, it would not be possible to continue to operate. More than a billion pounds in debt is no joke.

If investors feel that the project is no longer worth investing in, the blow to DeepMind will be catastrophic.

Not to mention that the main investor in DeepMind is Google, and Google's situation is even more embarrassing. Because after releasing a technology that can defeat Alpha Dog, the Miscellaneous Academy has released a search engine technology that can hit Google even more, so in any way, if the Alpha Dog team does not consider the Miscellaneous Academy to continue research, the future will not be good for them......

Obviously, Joseph had figured out all the causes and consequences in these tens of seconds of silence. So the gaze that looked at Xu Mengchang has become different.

"So what if......" As soon as he spoke, Joseph couldn't help but glance at Derek beside him, and seeing the thoughtful look on the Google boss, he still made up his mind and continued: "I mean, if we really plan to join Huaqing Miscellaneous Academy to continue to study this topic, in addition to the promise just now, can we get in touch with the most core technology?"

Asking this question is enough to show that Joseph has been tempted, of course, it can also be considered that the situation forced him to make this choice, at least after he said this, Derek still did not say anything.

Of course, this wasn't Derek's business.

"The core technology? Mr. Joseph, with all due respect, as I said earlier, the deep neural learning network you are working on actually has a relatively mature solution in our miscellaneous college. If you are lucky enough to participate in a dinner together today, you will know that our research has come to the forefront of the world in terms of intelligent speech recognition, gesture recognition and so on. ”

"Of course, this is only incidental research. As we just said, this technology is not a core technology for our miscellaneous college, so we didn't dig deeper. Secondly, our artificial intelligence technology has long been far ahead of you, such as HarmonyOS 100 is enough to prove this. ”

"To sum up, it is not polite to say that this kind of deep learning technology is very high-end and an important direction for the future development of artificial intelligence, but in our internal view, this technology is dispensable, at least for now. So there's really no key core technology. Do you think that in this case, if we invite so many of you to the Miscellaneous Academy, we will still be able to guard against your team?"

"On behalf of the Miscellaneous Academy, I would like to say that, firstly, we believe in your professionalism, and secondly, we have the ability to confidently ensure that our secrets will not be leaked. Don't worry. ”

Xu Mengchang said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Okay, so I have one more question, how much are the Miscellaneous Academy willing to invest in this project, and if you really want our team to join, how many positions can you offer?" Joseph asked again.

"That's right, I had a general understanding before I came, the current team of DeepMind is about 800 people, if Mr. Joseph has the personality charm to bring everyone in, we can accept it all!" Xu Mengchang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Derek finally couldn't sit still.

Where the hell is this poaching?

This is clearly an attempt to acquire the entire company!

Google spent $400 million to acquire the company, and invested more than $1 billion after the acquisition, and now this guy is obviously taking DeepMind into his pocket with the idea of not spending a penny.

That's right, that's it, it's too bad.

Even if Google wants to change hands, I'm afraid it won't be able to find a pick-up man, right? Of course, it is impossible for all the people to leave, and even if all the people are gone, the technology of DeepMind, including the alpha dog, is also the property of Google.

But what's the use of technology that hasn't yet matured a monetization model, not to mention that all these talents are working on more advanced technologies. And a company doesn't need everyone to be poached at all, as long as more than 10% of the core talents are gone, it will be difficult to come up with results.

Of course, Google is not stupid, after the acquisition of DeepMind, when signing contracts with those core members, there are many restrictions on companies that join competitors in the future, which is the general way for major companies to restrict core members.

But now the problem is that the Miscellaneous College is not a company in the first place, but a school college. Second, the Miscellaneous Academy now has enough technology to knock Google into the abyss, and judging by the attitude of the Miscellaneous Academy, they don't mind licensing these technologies.

Derek knew better that in order to get this technology, not to mention that the miscellaneous academy had dug up the people from DeepMind, it was not a problem for the person in front of him to ask the company to go over with a direct sentence.

As the president of the company, Sundar did not dare to have any opinion at all.

This is the trouble, I don't know how much Sundar talked about in the miscellaneous academy, although he knew very well in his heart that what Xu Mengchang was doing was not very kind, but he really didn't dare to say a fair word from Google's point of view, and even Derek himself felt the feeling of heartbeat.

As Google's chief technology officer, it's also a great temptation to be able to join a place like the Miscellaneous Academy where research has repeatedly created miracles.

It's like a holy place!

As a technologist, who doesn't want to see what kind of magical power this mysterious place has? Why can technology that seems impossible to the outside world always be tinkered with by this place? What kind of magical power does that guy Don Pudding have, so that he can overcome obstacles and be invincible?

Temptation!
