Before today, Tao Enhai would never have imagined that the chairman of a large company would actually crowd the subway.

And it's still dressed casually.

Tao Enhai was a little strange about this: "Don't you drive a private car?" ”

"Unless I'm going home with my lover, I won't drive when the number is below three." Xiang Shan's expression was serious: "To love the earth is to love the home of our human beings." ”

It is rare for Tao Enhai to see someone retelling such a slogan in such righteous words. But......

He didn't feel like the other party was joking.

"By the way, my car was just driven away by my lover."

"Oh...... I see. ”

Xiang Dong is wearing ordinary casual clothes and sneakers today. Except for the smart glasses on the bridge of the nose, which are very cutting-edge electronic products, the others are all affordable items.

On the contrary, it was Tao Enhai himself, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and a formal suit.

"Ah, by the way, since we don't do business with the outside world, and no outsiders will come to visit, so you can dress casually in the future." Xiang Shan pulled his finger in front of him on the one hand, and said to Tao Enhai on the other.

The first generation of smart glasses can only be controlled by voice and motion command capture. In noisy areas such as the subway, voice commands may not always be effective. Just now, Xiang Shan suddenly said, "They didn't wait for me", and he also saw the news of the reaction of the smart glasses.

The two soon got on the subway. Although it is a suburb, it also belongs to the high-tech industrial park, and there are quite a few people who get off work. The subway is not crowded, but there are no seats to do.

Xiang Shan and Tao Enhai stood in the middle of the two subway sections. Xiang Shan read something, and at the same time explained to Tao Enhai the main business scope of "transhumanism" now.

Superman Enterprises is now deeply engaged in four main areas. The four fields are "genetic engineering", "cognitive science", "information science", and "mechanical engineering". There are many overlapping projects under these four areas.

For example, "the correlation between certain cognitive abilities and genetics" is a content that straddles the fields of "genetic engineering" and "cognitive science".

Another example is "using computers to reproduce the cognitive process of human thinking", which belongs to the overlapping area of "cognitive science" and "information science".

And these projects influence each other, forming an organic whole within the superhuman enterprise. Tao Enhai vaguely felt that these areas seemed to be serving a big plan. But this "big plan", which he vaguely guessed a little, revealed an unrealistic sense of science fiction.

Xiang Shan even revealed that Superman invested in a game incubation community in Northern Europe last year, and reached cooperation with many well-known independent game producers to study "the mechanism of game behavior", "the interaction process between game behavior and virtual reality" and "the shaping of virtual community by game behavior".

"Ah, by the way, if you count from a single department, the incubation community is the department with the highest profit margin and the fastest capital turnover of our superhuman enterprise." Xiang Shan said with regret.

After all, the R&D institutions of the company's ontology are burning money. It burned enough money to bankrupt many small countries.

No matter how much money you make, it's not enough to burn scientific research.

Tao Enhai couldn't help but interrupt: "So...... What do we make money on? State financial allocation? Probably not......"

Xiang Shan nodded: "There is a part." However, it is mainly earned by 'products'. In fact, the country can't stand such extravagant burning ...... as ours."

Tao Enhai was a little puzzled: "But I haven't seen you...... What about our company's products? ”

"No, actually, you've seen it." Xiang Shan whispered, "You used to be a doctor, right?" In the past two years, many new drugs have been marked with the 'Yawill method', right? ”

"It seems to be...... Ah......h Yawill is an efficient and safe biopharmaceutical preparation method, which can metabolize most types of organic compounds by yeast through gene editing, and is inexpensive.

Over the years, Yawill drugs have become mainstream in the market.

Then, it was talked about in the textbook...... Or the medical representative has introduced it. The inventor of the Yawill method was none other than Jögmov Foigt.

"That's too ...... But...... "Tao Enhai felt that this was a bit ...... Somewhat...... Immoral?

- Or am I being naïve?

Similar stories have happened countless times in history. For example, Edison has the patent rights to the best light bulb interface and the best filament patents. Therefore, no matter which light bulb is there, it is impossible to compete with him.

"Of course, Dr. Tao, I know what you're thinking, but please hear me out." Xiang Shan said: "We can rely on this means to make money, and there are conditions. First of all, this patent is granted free of charge to state-owned enterprises or relevant departments in all countries. In the case of private companies, we charge a license fee of a few tenths of a percent of the profit. At the same time, we have another condition - if we adopt this patent, we must keep the profit margin within a low range. ”

Tao Enhai was silent for a moment: "This ...... How did Mr. Foiggett get to where he is now? ”

In this way, all the businessmen of the entire pharmaceutical industry will send Jorgmov Foigt to the assassination list......

"That's why it's being made available to governments free of charge." Xiang Shan shrugged: "Not only this patent, but each of our patents will be authorized to be used by various countries." In addition to avoiding assassination, we have a variety of policy supports. ”

"All the patents we have applied for are disclosed in the same way. Those capitalists either use our patents or they don't use them, and then they are swallowed up by their peers. Of course, if they use it secretly, that's not bad. Although our legal department has a small number of people, we still have in-depth cooperation with several well-known law firms - they like patent lawsuits the most. Although the lawyers were with us all the way, but, believe me, they are very inhuman. ”

Xiang Shan seemed to remember something, and smiled.

"But those pharmaceutical companies ...... There are other companies that will try their best to snipe us, right? ”

Unconsciously, Tao Enhai actually developed a sense of identity with this neurotic company.

"Haha......" Xiang Shan smiled: "Don't worry about this, brother, most of the best scientists are on our side." ”

In fact, there will always be only a handful of "best scientists". There is no doubt about that. If the "influence of scholarship" were to be converted into wealth by a single value, the Gini coefficient of academia would be even greater than that of countries with the largest gap between rich and poor.

In the case that Yogmov Foigt is a member of the Superman Enterprise, Xiang Shan does have the confidence to say this.

"It is precisely because we are all so good that everyone's prediction of the future of the industry is basically very accurate, and we have always been the only one who uses this vision to snipe others." Xiang Shan thought for a moment: "Although it is not that we have not missed at all, the probability of our guess is still quite low." ”

"How low?"

"At the moment my probability is seven percent, David is three percent, and Xinyu is sixteen percent? Anatoly is 100% ignorant, right...... But he does pure theory. Xiang Shan pondered for a moment: "Well, although Yog is still zero, it is simply because the direction of technological development is defined by him, and there is no discussion." ”

Tao Enhai was in awe.

It can be described as a percentage...... How many patents does this company hold......

Not to mention......

Tao Enhai also came back to his senses.

The core of Superman is the R&D department. They don't produce any physical goods. There is basically no point in sniping transhumanism with patents.

With the introduction to the mountain. Tao Enhai gradually sketched a blueprint for the company in his mind.

The two chatted all the way. During the period, it was accompanied by Xiang Shan's words "make soup, don't pepper and salt" - probably ordering. At six o'clock, the two arrived at the front door.

"It suddenly occurred to me that this place is only one or two stops away from the West Third Ring Road." Xiang Shan sighed: "If I knew you were coming, wouldn't it be better to just let you wait here?" And so as not to waste time on the way back and forth. ”

The destination of the two is the Quanjude main store in Daqianmen.

Tao Enhai felt that this place was a little flashy. He said, "Does the company usually have dinner here......

"yes, listen to your accent, you're also a local?" Xiang Shan raised his forehead: "I'll just say it." I didn't really want to choose this location. But it's true that I didn't choose the location today. The proportion of foreigners in the company is too high, and they, ah, how to put it, like this kind of ...... Got it? ”

The two nodded. Xiang Shan has already learned about the box through smart glasses. He didn't ask the waiter, and walked over directly with Tao Enhai.

Tao Enhai heard a burst of laughter from a distance. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw a young woman with white hair singing various versions of "The Internationale" in an unknown number of languages. There were several people around. And in the corner of the restaurant, there are several people divided into three groups and arguing fiercely about something.

At this moment, Tao Enhai felt even more out of place.

In the whole box, he was the only one wearing formal clothes.

All are casual clothes.

Xiang Shan coughed lightly, but except for a few people who had noticed this side a long time ago, everyone else was still immersed in their own world. Xiang Shan had to raise his voice and said, "Comrades, let me introduce you, this is the Dr. Tao Enhai Tao I mentioned before, and he will join our research department from tomorrow." Everyone is welcome. ”

Then, there was sparse applause in the box.

It's as if this chairman doesn't have any special face here.

Xiang Shan didn't care, and directly arranged for Tao Enhai to sit next to one person.

Tao Enhai sat down, just trying to get to know the next person at the same time.

But when he saw the man's face, he exclaimed, "Mr. Foigt? ”
