After finishing the meal, Nie Shuying picked up the napkin and delicately wiped the white salad dressing on her lips.

Looking at Xu Yuan, who was still dealing with the steak, she hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"May I ask you a personal question?"

"Just ask." Xu Yuan said very generously.

"What do you think of Liu Ling?"

Xu Yuan's fork stopped, and he regretted that he had promised so happily just now.

"Is this a work problem?"

"It's lunch break."

Closing his eyes, Xu Yuan thought for a moment, and then whispered that Nie Shuying would definitely not want to hear the right words.

"Someone important."

A flash of gloom flashed in his eyes, and Nie Shuying lowered his gaze slightly.

"And what do you think of me?"

Looking at her face, Xu Yuan said seriously.

"Someone important."

In those black pupils, two completely different colors, surprise and shame, intertwined.

Not knowing how to face such an answer, Nie Shuying bit her lower lip, got up, and silently picked up the plate that had already been eaten.

When passing by Xu Yuan, she stepped on him hard.

Ignoring Xu Yuan's exaggerated screams, she walked away quickly.

After wiping the ash stains on his leather shoes with a napkin, Xu Yuan looked at the slender back with a strange expression, and finally sighed.

Sometimes he himself felt that he was hopelessly greedy.

Although he was stepped on by Nie Shuying, Xu Yuan felt extremely happy.

Being able to see Nie Shuying, who has always been unsmiling, occasionally showing such a little girlish performance, he felt a little fresh.

Back in the office, Xu Yuan took over the sorted documents from the secretary in a good mood and started this afternoon's work.

With the launch of the free fantasy service, Yuanying International Biotechnology entered the medical industry, and the first battery production line of Yuanying International Heavy Industry was put into operation, Xu Yuan clearly felt that the development of Yuanying International Group had entered a bottleneck period.

Any business will face a similar situation to a greater or lesser extent when it evolves into a large group.

And the reasons can come from many aspects, such as antitrust investigations, such as complacency about the status quo and ignoring technological updates, and ultimately losing market competitiveness.

But fortunately, Yuanying International Group does not have the shackles of these two shackles, which restrict 80% of the world's enterprises and evolve into large conglomerates that can influence the direction of the world economy.

Because it will never be possible for Qatar to launch an anti-monopoly investigation against Source Shadow International Group, Source Shadow International Group originally relied on high technology to start.

But this bottleneck remains.

The most critical factor that leads to bottlenecks is that there is not enough manpower!

For a long time, the source of talent of Yuanying International Group has been lost to the international headhunting market, as well as the recruitment of companies in various regions.

However, the mobility of these talents from the international executive search market is very high, and the safety is difficult to determine.

A small number of talents who can confirm the details are entrusted with important tasks, and most of the talents who have the ability but cannot confirm a clean background, even if the headhunting company strongly recommends Xu Yuan, they dare not use it casually.

This has also led to a very narrow source of talents for Yuanying International Group.

While new employees are onboarding every day, they are still unable to keep up with the expansion of several subsidiaries around the world.

Especially for managerial talents, compared with technical talents, the gap of managerial talents is very large, but there are very few reserves in the group, which is also the most painful place for Xu Yuanyuan.

There are many people who are willing to work in Yuanying International Group, but there are not many talents who are willing to immigrate to Qatar with their families and families.

The floating population in Qatar is huge, and it can even exceed 150,000 during the peak tourist season, but the resident population is only more than 60,000.

It is hard to imagine that such a small country with a low level of education, labor shortages and an inactive market can support such a large multinational group.

In fact, if Yuanying International Group had developed in China, there might not have been any of these problems today.

But on the other hand, perhaps even if Yuanying International Group has a single technology, it is difficult to develop into today's behemoth.

It can only be said that there are pros and cons to the original exodus.

Although Xu Yuan has also invested in the construction of high schools, universities and other educational facilities, and arranged for graduates to enter the group for internship training, it is difficult for these to be effective in a short period of time.

If Yuanying International Group wants to develop faster, it must improve the attractiveness of immigrants to Qatar, especially those high-tech talents!

Perhaps, that plan had to be advanced.

However, just when Xu Yuan was worried about talents, the secretary suddenly walked in and conveyed the request of Dr. Damm from the scientific research institute to find him.

Dr. Dam's laboratory is located on the basement level of the Source Shadow International Group.

Pushing the door in, Xu Yuan saw Dr. Dam who was busy with his back to him.

Coming to his side, Xu Yuan asked curiously, "I heard that you have something to discuss with me?" ”

"That's right." Dam took off his gloves and said to Xu Yuan, "Do you remember the task you gave me last year?" I've basically mastered that programming language, it's just incredible, and the people who invented it are geniuses. And that rudimentary AI data, can I meet who designed them? ”

Hearing Dam's words, Xu Yuan couldn't help but make a helpless expression.

"I'm sorry, for various reasons, I can't introduce you to the designers of these two technologies for the time being, but at the earliest, you may have a chance to meet them."

As for Xu Yuan's explanation, Damm showed a very good understanding.

"Non-disclosure agreement? I understand, after all, the commercial value of these two technologies is huge, especially artificial intelligence, no, not only commercial value, if it is used in the military field"

"It's already being used." Interrupting Dahm's words, Xu Yuan said with a smile, "But I hope you can keep it a secret." ”

looked at Xu Yuan embarrassedly, but Dam still finished talking about the worry in his heart, "It will be a disaster for all mankind." ”

"Your views are similar to those of Stephen Hawking, and I agree with you."

Xu Yuan shrugged his shoulders, "But what needs to be added is that unrestrained artificial intelligence will become a disaster for mankind, not to mention this, the purpose of you coming to me is definitely not to talk to me about technical security, right?" ”

Dam nodded, "Of course, you know, I'm a double Ph.D. in information technology and mechanical engineering, and my main research areas are robotics and artificial intelligence. ”

As he spoke, Dam took his laptop and put it on the coffee table.

"This is the robot I designed, and the accompanying system program." Dam habitually put on the radiation-proof glasses inserted in the neckline, held the mouse and clicked on the program of the robot icon on the desktop, and then turned the computer to Xu Yuan's side.

"The housekeeping robot calls the primary artificial intelligence database as well as D programming technology. The main control program including face, prop recognition, and action system is about 12g, and this is a concept map, have you seen the Super Marine Corps? You can think of this thing as a big white man who is good at housework. ”

Of course, Xu Yuan of the Super Marine Corps has seen it, and it is certainly impossible for him not to be impressed by the usually cute and cute Dabai who fights and has the attributes of a warm male nanny.

Even from a business point of view, Dabai can be regarded as a relatively successful cartoon image created by Disney in recent years.

"Housekeeping robots? Great? Dam looked at the three-dimensional concept map on the computer screen with great interest, dragging and dropping it with the mouse, adjusting the angle of the image.

Human-shaped structure, covered with polyethylene material on the outside.

In order to avoid triggering the horror effect and causing the user's physiological disgust, the robot's head is specially designed to be long and conical, while the other parts still restore the human body structure.

The legs are designed to move on pulleys, and there are two modes of bipedal walking, corresponding to two types of terrain: flat ground and stairs.

It can be seen that Damm is still modest, not only robots and artificial intelligence, but also he obviously has a deep knowledge of ergonomics.

"Sweeping, washing dishes, simple cooking skills, even fixing light bulbs, faucets, and simple carpentry ......"

"The features are good, but will there be a market?" Xu Yuan noticed that the design drawings of the robot said that the bones were made of titanium alloy, and the special polyethylene material that wrapped the whole body of the robot was not very cheap.

The price of this robot is just afraid that it will not be very close to the people.

If you're not particularly lazy, you should still be able to do the housework yourself.

"There is no low-end market, but there are still mid-to-high-end markets, because of living habits, Asians may not need it, but Berry people will definitely like it."

The labor cost of Berry Country is very high, and the people of Berry Country are very lazy in life.

It is conceivable that the market prospects of such housekeeping robots in the United States and European countries are very good.

As for the Asian market, for the brand of Yuanying International Group, the sales volume should not be very bad.

For this robot that stays in the concept drawing stage, Xu Yuan is more and more satisfied.

Not only for this robot, but also for Dahm himself, he is very satisfied.

Strictly speaking, this will be the first near-future product independently developed in the world.

This Ph.D. from Harvard University did not live up to his expectations, not only digesting the computer technology from Yuanxing as a "beginner", but also designing this interesting gadget.
