Rule system

The current Yutu robot team is really poor and white. They have just decided to "split" from the Zhouyu company.

Yuan Zhongchen took a few people through the resignation procedures.

Although their working place is still in the small office provided by the company, they are no longer employees of the company, and there is no guarantee of even the basic salary.

What they have is only the underlying algorithms and framework libraries developed, as well as the data and code support shared by the company.

Then there are people.

The few people whom Yuan Zhongchen led are obviously very young. The older ones are no more than 30 years old. The younger ones will have hard work. Some old employees in the Technology Department of Zhouyu also support the continued development of the robot operating system, but because there are supporters of their families. Under pressure, 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 computers, machinery and equipment necessary for the institute.

Others have no money.

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

If you can't get the investment in a short time, the people on the team won't even get a salary, and it's impossible to hold on for too long. Even if only a short day has passed, some people start 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 algorithms and architecture libraries alone are valuable, but it is always meaningless if complete data is not developed. As long as a complete product is created, the value can be truly reflected.

"Two million! Twenty percent of shares!" Yuan Zhongchen repeated with gritted teeth.

Twenty percent of the shares is not to say. The company provides the work space and gives them all the materials originally developed. It only takes up 20% of the shares, but has the authority to "return the product without releasing it."

Yuan Zhongchen's team gave up halfway, and Zhou Yu Company would not lose money, their abacus clinked.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath, his expression serious and his muscles tight.

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

Zhao Yi nodded.

Yuan Zhongchen also said, "We have already thought out the overall structure, and there are some necessary functions. The operating system we designed can greatly improve the code reuse rate, and it 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 continuously said a lot of robotic terminology.

Zhao Yi listened patiently.

After Yuan Zhongchen finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at Zhao Yi.

This situation is a bit weird.

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. The Rubik’s Cube calculator alone has brought Zhao Yi over tens of millions in income. Because of the effect of “technology monopoly”, other people can only study Zhao Yi’s screening method and thoroughly research it. Software with similar functions can be made later.

Before that, income was continuous.

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

Yuan Zhongchen’s Yutu Robotics team, directly invested in shares with two million funds?

20%?

Half-Chengdu trip!

Zhao Yi was shocked for a long time, and finally remembered that he should agree. He nodded his head vigorously, as if moved by Yuan Zhongchen's sincerity, "Well, I agree to buy shares!"

"Oh--!"

The people in the room cheered, "It's great! It's great!"

"I said, our persistence is right!"

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

"thanks, thanks!"

Yuan Zhongchen laughed happily. He excitedly held Zhao Yi's hand and kept thanking him, "Thank you! Thank you so much, Zhao... Boss Zhao?"

"Called Brother Zhao...No, Brother Zhao!"

Zhang Zhen thought of a title.

"Brother Zhao!"

"Brother Zhao!"

Several people kept shouting together.

There were employees passing by in the corridor. They opened the door curiously and looked at them, and heard the people in the room saying excitedly, "We have invested two million! Hahaha..."

"Did you invest in it?"

"So fast?"

Zhang Zhen closed the door tightly in the past and signaled everyone to be quiet, "Since the investment has been negotiated, we will also start working now. It happens that Brother Zhao is also here, so let's talk about the research direction."

"You should all know Brother Zhao, right? His Rubik's Cube calculator shocked the world. In our algorithm library, the most streamlined and efficient algorithm treasures are all from Brother Zhao. He is the top algorithm engineer! "

The people in the room were not surprised, they knew about it a long time ago, they were just surprised at Zhao Yi's youth.

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

Zhao Yi always listened.

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

The scene is still 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 cannot be finished in a short time, so I won't add any more. "

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

"The robot operating system is different from the operating system of an ordinary computer. Our operating system is used on a fixed computer, but in a wider range of fields. Maybe our system is needed in the car, or the child’s educational toy. Our goal should be to enable users, or partners, to rely on our system to develop smart tools that adapt to various objects and environments."

"Therefore, the primary goal of the design is to increase the code reuse rate in the field of robot research and development, and to provide users with independent development platforms and design more open ports. Therefore, we should develop some to provide the basis for professionals to use tool."

"In terms of function, we don’t need to think about it for the time being. Our lack of manpower, whether it is human-computer interaction, translation, or visual recognition, application control, etc., cannot be developed by a small team, but as long as the bottom layer is perfected Based on the foundation, other functions can be integrated."

"Just like a mobile phone, the application inside can cooperate with other companies to complete our system functions."

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

What the team wants to develop is the underlying operating system. It is meaningless to consider the application functions, such as human-computer communication, translation, visual recognition and other functions, which cannot be completed by a small team. The focus of the team must be placed on the bottom and the top. Can be developed jointly.

After listening to Zhao Yi's words, the people in the room, including Yuan Zhongchen and Zhang Zhen, felt suddenly open.

Before, they all thought about various functions, developed and integrated them together, and they all felt a mess. In fact, they completely deliberately gave up the upper-level application functions and only focused on the lower-level development.

indeed.

The bottom layer cannot produce products, but the bottom layer is perfected to have unlimited possibilities.

Zhang Zhen applauded

Yuan Zhongchen took the lead in applauding, and everyone else applauded. They all came from the heart.

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

Now they found that Zhao Yi was really good.

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

Yuan Zhongchen simply invited Zhao Yi to join the team.

Zhao Yi directly rejected it, and the reason was very sufficient and simple, "I still want to go to school."

"..."

"..."

Zhao Yi continued, "However, if you have any problems, you can ask me for help. If you can solve them, they will definitely be solved. After I invest, I will be considered a member of the team?"

"But public is public, private is private, cooperation charges!"

He is a bit half-joking in nature.

Zhang Zhen said seriously, "That's for sure, our small team, I guess we can't afford you, but if there is anything that can't be solved, we will definitely pay if we ask you for help."

"Yes, that's right!"

Yuan Zhongchen nodded, "We are all paid, and if you do not get paid, it would be wrong."

"Yes, it's normal for work to be paid."

"One yard owned by a yard!"

Everyone talked and laughed.

Zhang Zhen mentioned 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 right, your speech is too popular, I have inquired about it in advance, Yanhua University has blocked the graduate building, and only invited people can enter. It is estimated that Zhong Chen will not be able to graduate from Yanhua. The students inside are not allowed to enter."

"I want to ask if you can... Hey, give two friendship tickets and I will go with Zhong Chen."

"This is easy to handle, I will talk to the school."

Zhao Yi agreed.

...

Zhao Yi's speech is indeed very popular.

Although Yanhua University only made simple propaganda, many people were waiting for his speech. Hearing that he would give a speech at Yanhua University, some even flew to the capital overnight.

Yanhua University is prepared for this.

Many of the professors and lecturers in the school have participated in the reception work. There are already many top professors and top technology professionals in the industry, who are sure to come to listen.

If everyone who wants to come comes, the large conference rooms can't be crowded, Yanhua University can only get some people stuck.

It's hard for ordinary people to get in.

Zhang Zhen is the manager of the technology department of Zhouyu Interactive. It sounds like a great one, but I am sorry that he can still be regarded as an ordinary person, let alone Yuan Zhongchen.

When Zhao Yi left Zhouyu to interact, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. He took out his mobile phone and discovered that there were a dozen missed calls, half of which were Xu Lei.

Call back.

Xu Lei's voice was a bit anxious, "You can be considered contacted, Professor Luo has been looking for you, and Professor He is also urging."

"Professor He?"

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

"No, I'll take a taxi."

Zhao Yi hurried to take a taxi to Yanhua University. After searching for Professor He Mingcheng on the road, he realized that he had met the real boss.

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

At the same time, he is also a national-level soft science decision-making expert. His most impressive contribution is that he used the conceptual calculation of fuzzy mathematics to directly affect the decision-making of the Yangtze River Dam.

He has published nearly a hundred papers and six books.

There are countless awards.

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

Obviously.

He Mingcheng is so much higher than Liu Hemin's grade...
