The current Yutu robot team is really poor, and they have just decided to 'split' from Zhouyu Company.

Yuan Zhongchen took several people to go through the resignation procedures together.

Although they still work in the small office provided by Zhouyu Company, they are no longer employees of Zhouyu Company, and they are not even guaranteed a basic salary.

What they have is only the underlying algorithms and architecture libraries that have been developed, as well as the data and code support shared by Zhouyu Company.

And then, there are people.

Yuan Zhongchen led several people are obviously very young, the older ones are not more than thirty years old, young will have hard work, some old employees of the Zhouyu Technology Department also support the continued development of robot operating systems, but because of the pressure of supporting their families, it is impossible to leave with them.

The team is young and hardworking, but money is also very important.

Zhang Zhen really supported the team, he paid 200,000 yuan to enter, and helped buy the necessary computers, machinery and equipment for the institute.

Others don't have money.

Yuan Zhongchen's technical ability is very strong, but he has only been working for less than two years, and it is impossible to have much savings in his hand.

If you can't get the investment in a short time, the team can't even get a salary, and it is impossible to last for too long, even if it is only a short day, some people will begin to regret it.

They also have a measure of the value of the team.

Not to mention the technical level of everyone in the team, the underlying algorithm and architecture library alone are valuable, but if the data is not fully developed, it will never be meaningful, as long as a complete product is created, the value can be truly reflected.

"Two million! Two percent of the shares!" Yuan Zhongchen gritted his teeth and repeated.

Twenty percent of the shares are not to say, Zhouyu Company provides the work space, and then the original development of the data, all handed over to them, but only occupy two percent of the shares, but have the right to 'take back the product without the product'.

Yuan Zhongchen's team gave up halfway, and Zhouyu Company would not lose money, and their abacus clanged.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath, his expression was serious and his muscles were tense.

Several people looked at Zhao Yi's expression, Zhang Zhen thought that Zhao Yi was unwilling, and hurriedly explained, "The algorithm packages we already have, the architecture drawings we have made, etc., are all very valuable, brother, you should know that you have made a lot of algorithm packages." ”

Zhao Yi nodded.

Yuan Zhongchen also said, "We have already thought about the overall structure, and there are some necessary functions. The operating system we designed can greatly improve the reuse rate of code, and can also provide some basic functions, including improving human-computer interaction, motion control, word processing, and some special AI functions, such as length and height detection, obstacle avoidance warning, feature recognition, and ......"

He said a whole bunch of robotics jargon in a row.

Zhao Yi listened patiently.

After Yuan Zhongchen finished speaking in one breath, a room full of people looked at Zhao Yi.

It's a strange scenario.

Zhao Yi is the youngest person, but everyone knows that he is the richest, and he really doesn't care about spending two million to invest.

Zhang Zhen has a certain understanding of Zhao Yi's income, and the Rubik's Cube calculator alone has brought Zhao Yi more than 10 million income, because of the effect of 'technology monopoly', others can only study Zhao Yi's screening method, and only after thorough research can they make software with similar functions.

Until then, the income is endless.

Zhao Yi glanced at the people in the room, it was different from what others thought, he really couldn't believe it, he actually encountered such a good thing?

Yuan Zhongchen's Yutu robot team took out two million funds and directly invested in the shares?

Twenty percent?

Half of it is okay!

Zhao Yi was shocked for a long time, and finally remembered that he should agree, he quickly nodded vigorously, as if he was moved by Yuan Zhongchen's sincerity, "Okay, I agree to join the shares!"

"Oh——!"

A room full of people cheered, "Wonderful!

"I'll just say that our insistence is right!"

"With two million, we can hold out for at least one or two years, and we can expand our staff!"

"Thank you!

Yuan Zhongchen laughed happily, he excitedly shook Zhao Yi's hand, and kept expressing his gratitude, "Thank you! Thank you so much, Zhao ...... Boss Zhao?"

"It's called Brother Zhao...... No, Brother Zhao!"

Zhang Zhen thought of a name.

"Brother Zhao!"

"Brother Zhao!"

Several people shouted together and kept shouting.

There were passing employees in the corridor, and they pushed the door curiously and looked at it, and heard the people in the room say excitedly, "We have pulled the investment, two million! hahaha......"

"Got an investment?"

"So fast?"

Zhang Zhen went over to close the door tightly and motioned for everyone to be quiet, "Now that the investment has been negotiated, we will also start working now, and it just so happens that Brother Zhao is also there, so we will talk about the research direction." ”

"You should all know Brother Zhao, right? His Rubik's Cube calculator shocked the world, and in our algorithm library, the most streamlined and efficient algorithm treasure is from Brother Zhao, who is the top algorithm engineer!"

The people in the room were not surprised, they had known about it for a long time, but they were surprised by Zhao Yi's youth.

Next, we will discuss the research direction of the operating system, such as what kind of functions need to be made, what kind of content is supported by the basic framework, and ways to improve the code reuse rate.

Zhao Yi listened all the time.

Although his technical level is not bad, but the computer field is too big, the writing of the underlying robot operating system, involving the lowest level of machine language, execution methods, he can only understand, involving hardware, automation and other issues, are a little confused.

The scene still has to be said.

After everyone said their ideas and supplements in turn, they all looked at Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi stood up and said, "Everyone said very well, technical problems, not in a short period of time, I will not add." ”

"For designing an operating system, the most important thing is to clarify the general direction, what kind of system we want to do, and in this regard, I would like to express my personal opinion. ”

"The robot operating system is different from the operating system of ordinary computers, our operating system is used on a fixed computer, but used in a wider range of fields, maybe the car needs our system, maybe the children's educational toys also need it, our goal should be to let users, or partners, can rely on our system, to develop a variety of items, the environment of intelligent tools. ”

Therefore, the primary goal of the design is to improve the reuse rate of code in the field of robot research and development, and it is necessary to provide users with an independent development platform and design more open ports. So, we should develop some basic tools for professionals to use. ”

"In terms of function, we don't need to think much about it for the time being, our lack of manpower, whether it is human-computer interaction, translation, or visual recognition, application control, etc., is not something that can be developed by a small team, but as long as the foundation of the bottom is improved, other functions can be integrated. ”

"It's like a mobile phone, and the apps in it can work with other companies to complete our system functionality. ”

Zhao Yi's speech was very simple, but it directly pointed to the core issue.

What the team wants to develop is the underlying operating system, and it makes no sense to consider application functions, such as human-computer communication, translation, visual recognition, etc., which cannot be completed by a small team, and the focus of the team must be on the lowest level, and the upper level of things can be developed collaboratively.

After listening to Zhao Yi's words, the people in the room, including Yuan Zhongchen and Zhang Zhen, all had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

In fact, they completely deliberately gave up the application functions of the upper layer and only focused on the development of the bottom layer.

Truly.

The bottom layer cannot produce products, but only when the bottom layer is perfected can there be infinite possibilities.

Zhang Zhen applauded

Yuan Zhongchen was the first to applaud, and the others also applauded, they all came from the heart.

Before, their impression of Zhao Yi was just that he was a 'genius algorithm master' and 'made a lot of money'.

Now they found that Zhao Yi was indeed very powerful.

Even in the development of operating systems, they have clear ideas and unique insights.

Yuan Zhongchen simply invited Zhao Yi to join the team.

was directly rejected by Zhao Yi, and the reason was also very sufficient and simple, "I still have to go to school." ”

“......”

“......”

Zhao Yi continued, "However, if there is any problem, you can ask me for help, and if it can be solved, it will definitely be solved." After I invest, I'm part of the team, right?"

"But the public is public, the private is private, and the cooperation fee is charged!"

He's a bit of a half-joking nature.

Zhang Zhen said very seriously, "Then sure, our small team can't afford to hire you, but if there is anything that can't be solved, I will definitely pay for your help." ”

"Yes, that's right!"

Yuan Zhongchen nodded, "We all get paid, if you don't get paid for your work, it's not right." ”

"Yes, it's normal to get paid for your work. ”

"One yard to one yard!"

Everyone talked and laughed.

Zhang Zhen mentioned the matter of the speech, "Brother Zhao, you are going to give a speech at Yanhua University tomorrow afternoon, right?"

Zhao Yi nodded.

Zhang Zhen said embarrassedly, "That's the case, your speech is too hot, I inquired in advance, Yanhua University has blocked the graduate building, and only those who are invited can enter, and Zhongchen is not a graduate of Yanhua." It is estimated that the students inside will not be allowed to enter. ”

"I want to ask if you can ...... Hehe, give two friendship tickets, and I'll go with Zhong Chen. ”

"It's easy to do, I'll talk to the school. ”

Zhao Yi agreed.

......

Zhao Yi's speech was indeed very popular.

Although Yanhua University only made a simple publicity, many people waited for his speech, heard that he would give a speech at Yanhua University, and some even flew to the capital overnight.

Yanhua University is prepared for this.

Many professors and lecturers in the school have participated in the reception, and many top professors and top technical people in the industry have definitely come to attend the lecture.

If everyone who wants to come comes, the large conference room can't be crowded, and Yanhua University can only jam some people.

It's hard for ordinary people to get in.

Zhang Zhen is the manager of the interactive technology department of Zhouyu, which sounds very powerful, but I'm sorry, he can still only be regarded as an ordinary person, let alone Yuan Zhongchen.

When Zhao Yi left Zhouyu Interaction, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and he took out his mobile phone only to find that there were more than a dozen missed calls, half of which were Xu Lei.

Callback.

Xu Lei's voice was a little anxious, "I can be regarded as contacting you, Professor Luo has been looking for you, and Professor He is also urging." ”

"Old Professor He?"

"The dean of the School of Information, Professor He Mingcheng, the first person in Yanhua University, is very powerful anyway, where are you, I'll pick you up?"

"No, I'll take a taxi. ”

Zhao Yi hurriedly took a taxi to Yanhua University, and searched for Professor He Mingcheng on the way, only to know that he had met a real boss.

He Mingcheng, 71 years old, is currently the dean of the School of Information of Yanhua University, one of the early pioneers of fuzzy mathematics in China, and participated in the research and development of the first domestic fuzzy calculator.

He is also a national expert in soft science decision-making, and his most impressive contribution is that he used the concept of fuzzy mathematics to directly influence the decision-making of the Yangtze River dam.

He has published nearly 100 papers and 6 books.

Awards, innumerable.

Thinking about meeting such an old professor, Zhao Yi suddenly felt pressure, he knew the highest-level person, that is, Professor Liu Hemin.

Apparently.

He Mingcheng's grade is even higher than Liu Hemin's......
