The multimedia hall burst into applause, and the audience watching the live broadcast was also chatting continuously.

The barrage said "inexplicably caused a burst of extreme comfort", "this place should be inflated" and so on.

The warm applause gradually fell, but Ye Hua did not leave immediately, he was still on the stage.

At this time, the host came to the stage and held the microphone: "Thank you Mr. Ye for your wonderful speech, then due to time constraints, we will directly enter the next Q&A session." Mr. Ye, when you were giving a speech, we received small notes from the audience asking questions and selected some of them, and we also collected questions from netizens on the Internet. ”

The host immediately looked at the small card in his hand and asked: "Let's first look at the questions of the students on the spot, the first question: the coastline has been fully deployed in terms of networks, terminals, enterprise networks, etc., what is the strategic direction of the Internet of Things, edge computing and distributed computing?" ”

Ye Hua thought for a while, and then replied: "The Internet of Things is a window of opportunity that we will vigorously strive for in the future, and we established Life Light to promote the blowout development of the Internet of Things, the foundation of the Internet of Things lies in connectivity, and the core is the diversity of species, which is consistent with the strategy of the coastline." Connections include what you call edge computing, distributed computing, and so on, but we do the basics. ”

"I've been asked what the future of society will look like. I'm not a futurist, I can't tell, and futurists aren't necessarily right, with the help of a rumor outside, 'mathematics at the end of physics, mathematics at the end is philosophy, and philosophy at the end is theology', for the description of the future, maybe only God knows, for me, taking the initiative to describe and depict may get hints of the future. ”

Seeing Ye Hua nodding, the host immediately took over the words: "The second question is about the application of AI technology, is there any application in supply chain, finance, manufacturing and quality management?" For example, how to use uncertainty decisions in the market? ”

Ye Hua: "In fact, we have already moved from research to application of AI, and our representative product in this field is Xiaoyin Assistant, and we are trying to make AI sit on the ground, don't make it virtual." Otherwise, if the development of AI products is immature, we will not dare to invest in large quantities. In the process of simplifying management, we reserve a large number of reserve talents for products, we know that the AI boom has come and gone several times, and because of this mechanism, even if the entire social AI investment is in a bubble in the future, we can stand firm on our heels and not panic. Once the bubble bursts, we recruit a large number of talents from the society who have deep thinking about failure, and make up for them into our team to achieve a late-mover advantage, AI is a winner-takes-all, our coastline has been established for less than four or five years, which is a congenital disadvantage, so we need to cherish the outstanding talents of unsuccessful companies. ”

The host immediately motioned to Ye Hua to look at the big screen behind him, which was a large floating screen with holographic display realized by PHC equipment, and the audience at the scene was also focused on the screen.

"Here's a question we selected from netizens, and it's an interesting question, especially because he's an employee of Shoreline, and he's a foreign employee." The host smiled, then looked at the message on the screen and read: "I am a German, but I am honored to be able to join Shoreline, I have been in the company for more than two years, and at the beginning, there were barriers to integration and communication, during which time I gradually integrated into the team and the project. As an expatriate employee, what advice do you have for the growth and development of your career in the coastline? ”

Ye Hua smiled: "Although I don't know who the employee is, I want to say that growth and development has nothing to do with the country, whether you are Chinese, German, British, French or American, and it should have nothing to do with ethnicity, race, belief or gender." We are a multinational company of a commercial nature and do not have this problem with labeling. A doctor is a doctor, there is no difference between race, country, ethnicity, belief and so on, there is only the difference between excellent and not excellent, suitable and inappropriate, of course, including pre-doctorate. ”

Moderator: "Last question, a netizen named "Forward for the Motherland" asked: How will the coastline company compete in the new windows and new opportunities in the future? ”

Looking at the message on the floating big screen, Ye Hua thought for a while and replied with a smile: "First of all, I think we have no competitors, we mainly join forces with everyone to serve human society, so the more partners we have, the better, not that our coastline should be outstanding." But this is not to say that we are humble and great, and we want to use our own death as fertilizer to nourish the land and make other crops grow better, no. ”

"So we not only have to survive and live well, but others also have to survive and live well, and we can make reasonable contributions to human society together. If we want to clarify our competitors, I think it is whether we have forgotten our original intentions, and the ambition of Coastline has never changed: to bring science fiction to life. ”

……

The original trip to HKUST was supposed to take no more than four hours, but in the end it was exceeded, and it turned out that the plan was always unable to keep up with the changes.

After the end of his trip to HKUST, his trip to the Efficient College officially came to a successful end, and many other universities in China actually intended to invite Ye Hua to attend some events and speeches.

But a big bull like him doesn't mean that whoever invites him can invite him.

I left HKUST and stayed in a local hotel for a while, preparing to leave for the company early tomorrow morning.

There is no doubt that Ye Hua indirectly responded to the rhythm of some domestic media belts recently, after all, the coastline is now large, and it is too easy to suffer from firepower.

Ye Hua didn't have the luxury of hoping to calm down the rhythm through the trip of the University of Science and Technology, because a new rhythm had appeared.

The Rhythm Party immediately grasped why it is funding more than $6 billion for European universities and more than $3 billion for domestic universities?

threw out doubts, and then decisively led to the conclusion that the coastline eats inside and out, it is still a familiar routine, or the original formula.

However, this is not the point, the real point is that Ye Hua frequently appeared in universities and institutes at home and abroad through this trip, so that the world can see the sincerity and urgent appeal of Coastline Group to attract talents with open arms.

The coastline needs a lot of excellent talents, and there is no hiding from it, and the whole world knows that the coastline group is going to play big this time.

And it's not just about telling an exciting story, it's about taking action.

On the afternoon of December 17, when Ye Hua gave a speech at HKUST, the official website of Coastline Group officially announced the total R&D budget for next year in 2023 - USD$22.8 billion.

It is equivalent to more than 20 billion EUR€, or more than 150 billion RMB.

Regardless of whether it is at home or abroad, the annual income can reach this amount, and it is a world-renowned giant company.

The announcement of this news shocked the world, and the R&D investment of Coastline Group Company became the world's first in one fell swoop, this dazzling data made the world unable to ignore, and undoubtedly attracted the attention of global scientific and technological talents to Coastline Group Company.

The world's major well-known giant companies, mainly international technology giants, have announced next year's R&D budget spending, and 2023 has not yet arrived, and the competition has already begun.

The European Commission has ranked the industrial R&D investment of various countries and regions around the world, and North America occupies 31 companies in the Top 100 list, while China, Germany and Ben have 18, 13 and 11 respectively, and others, the vast majority of which are high-tech companies.

According to the European Union's ranking, the top of the list is the Coastline Group, with a R&D investment budget of EUR€20 billion, and the second is Amazon, with a R&D expenditure budget of EUR€18.1 billion next year, compared with Amazon's historical data that once reached EUR€19.7 billion, it can be seen that the company's pace is slowing down.

Amazon's R&D investment in 2017 reached $22.6 billion. In fact, Amazon is not just an online shopping mall, it has been investing heavily in computer vision technology fields such as AS and Alexal to lay the foundation for cashless stores in the future. However, the company's R&D investment is temporarily disproportionate to its output, and Amazon's price-to-earnings ratio is also scary.

The companies in third to sixth place are Alphabet (Google's parent company), Microsoft, Huawei, and Intel, and the R&D spending budgets of these four companies next year are EUR 12.85 billion euros, 12.286 billion euros, 12.165 billion euros, and 12.07 billion euros respectively.

It is worth mentioning that Samsung Electronics, which once occupied the first place in the world's R&D investment enterprises, fell out of the top ten this time.

Data is the most intuitive feedback of information, which has led to another long-standing hot topic - technology is the primary productive force.

And technology talent is the core driving force.

The world's well-known international technology giants are sparing no expense in this field to launch fierce competition for scientific and technological talents, this is the best era, as long as you are talented, you are not afraid of no stage to display your talents.

In this era of grabbing money and talents, how can there be so much effort to grind and grind with those whose minds are still in the primitive society, all the good resources are taken up by people, and the good talents are all robbed by others, and in the end they can't find a place to cry.

There is no doubt that the top of the "airborne" list of the Coastline Group this time is eye-catching, this is the result that Ye Hua wants, the Coastline Company has developed to today's scale and today's influence, and it is the same to take the initiative to carry the flag.

Passive absorption of talents is meaningless for the future development of the company, to a certain extent, we must take the initiative to open our arms, take the initiative to absorb talents, and recruit talents on a global scale for their own use.
