In the blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival of 2014, and the busy Duke, at the doctoral defense meeting arranged by Professor Pol in advance, successfully passed the doctoral defense in computer science with full honors, and Duke was not surprised by this result, because Duke already knew that he had entered the shortlist for this year's Turing Award.

You must know that the Nobel Prize in the computer industry, being shortlisted is a great recognition of industry experts, and with such achievements, the passage of doctoral dissertations is just a piece of cake.

At the beginning of the new year, the good news is one after another, MI China's electronic brainwave production line has been successfully put into operation, and the output of 300,000 sets was achieved in the first month of 2014.

At that time, the brainwave helmet fighting game developed by Duke for the American market had already begun to be introduced to China. It is sold at a parallel price of about 3,000 yuan, and it is said that the number of sales nationwide is as high as tens of thousands.

As soon as the Kerry war game client that can be connected to brainwave control was launched, it immediately received hundreds of thousands of downloads within a few days, most of which came from the United States, and the game server set up specifically for brainwave control was specially set up for brainwave control, especially suitable for players who were also brainwave controlled to fight, and hundreds of thousands of new users were added at once.

Due to the use of brainwave telekinesis control, it is currently inferior to keyboard and gamepad control in terms of single PK, after all, the time for everyone to use telekinesis control is very short, and there are not many methods that can improve speed. Therefore, normal players are not allowed to enter the telekinetic realm so as not to upset the balance of the game, but the game will not restrict brainwave control users from going to the normal area.

Of course, you have to endure the feeling of being temporarily at a disadvantage in PK.

But in any case, the new game operation method of directly controlling the brainwave telekinesis soon became the darling of the trend pioneers, and the set sold directly in the mainland at 1999 yuan integrated the telekinesis fighting game and Kerry's war online game, with the help of the popular schedule of the Spring Festival, 300,000 sets were quickly sold out under the hype of Qin Chu.

MI China Electronics was a success, selling nearly 600 million yuan at once, creating a new business myth in Chengdu, which made Cai Siqiang, Director Lin and even District Mayor Zhang excited.

What's more, due to the addition of a brainwave control interface, Kerry's War has added hundreds of thousands of new game users at once, which has made other game manufacturers jealous and have come to the door to ask for customized brainwave interface clients. Because at this moment, the sales volume of brainwave helmets at home and abroad have exceeded more than 1.3 million sets.

For these customers who come to the door, Cai Siqiang is naturally overjoyed, "My requirements are not high, and the customized service fee is not charged to everyone, as long as it can be divided into 20% of the sales revenue created by users who use brainwave helmets in the game." ”

In the face of Cai Siqiang, the lion's big mouth, the representative of the game manufacturer scolded in his heart, this is not high? Twenty percent, you might as well grab it! But watching Kerry's war skyrocket by hundreds of thousands of users, these representatives couldn't straighten up and say no.

Under Cai Siqiang's choice, ten popular games at home and abroad became the first batch of customized customers of SAL, and Cai Siqiang was not afraid of these manufacturers reporting revenue indiscriminately, because the agreement stipulated that the billing module was integrated in the brainwave control client, and the billing data was sent to the billing server specially set up by SAL at the same time, and the settlement was carried out on January 1 according to this data.

Kerry's war is a collaborative operation with Shengda Company, and this new user's share is exempted, and there are dozens of online games lined up for customization, and Zhao Jianwu's game customization team is now very busy all of a sudden. This news further stimulated the sales of brainwave helmets, and for a time the production line of MI China Electronics entered a state of saturated production like the production line of the American factory.

Sales here are booming, cash is pouring in like a flood, and Cai Siqiang is naturally overjoyed. However, Zhao Jianwu's life was more difficult.

Because of a large number of game customizations on the horse at once, coupled with the new mobile phone software research and development, navigation part of the software research and development, voice recognition input method maintenance and update and many other things, Zhao Jianwu's R & D team has all entered an extremely busy state, almost all of them began to work spontaneously overtime, personnel is also busy recruiting a large number of people all day long, and soon the R & D team swelled to more than 1,000 people or feel that there is not enough manpower.

As for the voice control cooperation project with Gemdale mobile phone, it is still in the negotiation stage, and the research and development has been temporarily stopped. The main thing is to see if the progress of Bob's mobile phone hardware design team can catch up with the mass production of new mobile phones this year.

If not, the side will naturally agree to authorize it for another year, but it must be divided. In terms of the price offered, Cai Siqiang is already brewing to ask for 40% of the after-tax profit.

This request has not been put forward yet, otherwise Mr. Zhong, the boss of Gemdale, may vomit blood when he hears it.

Because from the perspective of workload, SAL has almost nothing to do this year, which is equivalent to directly snatching nearly half of the profits from Jindi's mouth, and it is no wonder that Mr. Zhong does not vomit blood in this case.

However, Cai Siqiang can't manage so much, and now the navigation production line has also started trial production, and the first batch of workers who went to Europe to study have returned, plus the same number of European factory workers have been brought back, and the trial production is progressing very smoothly.

It's just that because the order of the navigation system is extremely prosperous this year, when General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda and other companies got the actual product test of the Sirius-1 navigator, they decisively gave up the original agreement with Garmin and turned to the full purchase of Sirius-1. It is fully pre-installed on the mid-to-high-end vehicles of these manufacturers, and the total number of pre-orders exceeds 15 million sets.

In 2014, Sirius' order book for navigators reached a staggering 25 million units. The original TOMTOM factory in Belgium has a production capacity of about 12 million sets a year, so the MI factory has to undertake the production of at least 13 million sets of navigation devices.

This alone requires more than 3,000 workers, and at the same time, the number of backbones familiar with the navigation production line is also very large, making the second batch of workers training group to study in Belgium as high as 100 people. In the procurement of core components for the production of navigators, we have begun to urgently add them, and the original production capacity preparation of 20 million sets can no longer meet the existing demand.

There are so many things to worry about, this Year of the Horse, Cai Siqiang even spent the Spring Festival Gala on the plane.

But Duke didn't have it easy.

After returning to China with Shu Ya, after having a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with his family, he didn't care about the joy of reuniting with his family, so he made an appointment with District Mayor Zhang and Secretary Zhao to meet and prepare to start discussing the construction of a new display screen raw material production base.

The investment in this site is huge, and Duke is not prepared to build it entirely on its own.
