Genius of the Rules-Style System

The current Yutu Robotics team is really poor. They have just decided to 'split' from Zhouyu Company.

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

Although their working place is still 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.

All they have is the underlying algorithms and framework libraries they have developed, as well as the information and code support shared by Zhouyu Company.

Then, there are people.

The people led by Yuan Zhongchen are obviously very young, and the older ones are no more than thirty years old. Young people will have hard work. Some old employees in Zhouyu Technology Department also support the continued development of robot operating systems, but because they have to support their families. The pressure makes it impossible to resign with them.

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

Zhang Zhen really supported the team. He spent 200,000 yuan to enter and help buy computers, equipment and other items necessary for the institute.

Others have no money.

Yuan Zhongchen has strong technical ability, but he has only worked for less than two years and it is impossible to have much savings in his hands.

If we can't get investment in a short time, the team members won't even get a salary, and they won't be able to persist for too long. Even after just one day, some people will 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. However, if the data is not fully developed, it will always be meaningless. Only by creating a complete product can the value be truly reflected.

"Two million! 20% of the shares!" Yuan Zhongchen gritted his teeth and repeated.

The 20% stake is not just talk. Zhouyu Company provides the working space and hands over all the original development materials to them. It only occupies 20% of the shares and only has the authority to "take back the product before it is released."

Yuan Zhongchen's team gave up halfway, and Zhouyu Company would not lose money. Their calculations were ringing.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath, with a serious expression and tense muscles.

Everyone looked at Zhao Yi's expression. Zhang Zhen thought that Zhao Yi was unwilling, so he quickly explained, "The algorithm package we already have, the architecture diagram we have produced, 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 about the overall architecture and some necessary functions. The operating system we designed can greatly improve the code reuse rate, and can also provide some basic functions, including improving human-computer interaction, Motion control and word processing can also provide some special AI functions, such as length and height detection, obstacle avoidance warning, feature recognition, and..."

He rattled off a lot of robotics jargon.

Zhao Yi listened patiently.

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

There's something weird about this situation.

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 an income of over 10 million. Because of the 'technical monopoly' effect, others can only study Zhao Yi's screening method and study it thoroughly. Only software with similar functions can be made in the future.

Until then, the income is constant.

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

Yuan Zhongchen's Yutu Robotics team directly invested two million in capital?

Two percent?

Half of Chengdu is fine!

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 become a shareholder!"

"oh--!"

The whole room cheered, "That's great! That's great!"

"I just say that our persistence is right!"

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

"thanks, thanks!"

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

"Call 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 took a look, and heard the people in the room saying excitedly, "We have secured an investment of two million! Hahaha..."

"Did you get investment?"

"So fast?"

Zhang Zhen went over and closed the door tightly, signaling everyone to quiet down, "Now that the investment has been negotiated, we have to start work. Brother Zhao happens to be here, so let's talk about the research direction."

"You all should know Brother Zhao, right? His Rubik's Cube calculator, screening method, and the most streamlined and efficient algorithm package in our algorithm library are all produced by Brother Zhao. He is the top algorithm engineer! "

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

Next, everyone discussed the research direction of the operating system, such as what functions need to be created, what the basic framework supports, ways to improve the code reuse rate, etc.

Zhao Yi listened all the time.

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

I still have to talk about the scene.

After everyone expressed their thoughts and additions, they all looked at Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi stood up and said, "What everyone said is very good. Technical issues cannot be finished in a short time, so I won't add anything more. "

"For designing an operating system, the most important thing is to clarify the general direction and what kind of system we want to make. In this regard, I will express my personal opinion."

"The robot operating system is different from the operating system of ordinary computers. Our operating system is used on fixed computers, but is used in a wider range of fields. Maybe our system is needed in cars, and maybe it is also needed in children's educational toys. Our goal should be to enable users, or partners, to rely on our system to develop intelligent tools that adapt to various items and environments."

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

"In terms of functionality, we don't need to think too much for the time being. We are short of manpower. Whether it is human-computer interaction, translation, or visual recognition, application control, etc., it cannot be developed by a small team, but as long as the bottom layer is improved, Based on this, other functions can be integrated.”

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

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. It makes no sense to consider application functions. Functions such as human-computer communication, translation, and visual recognition cannot be completed by a small team. The team's focus must be on the bottom layer and the upper layer. things can be developed collaboratively.

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

In the past, they were thinking about various functions, developing them and integrating them together, which all felt messy. In fact, they completely deliberately gave up the upper-layer application functions and only focused on the development of the bottom layer.

really.

The bottom layer cannot produce products, but by improving the bottom layer, there are infinite possibilities.

Zhang Zhen clapped his hands.

Yuan Zhongchen took the lead in applauding, and everyone else followed suit. They all applauded from the bottom of their hearts.

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

Now they find that Zhao Yi is indeed very powerful.

Even in developing operating systems, he has clear ideas and unique insights.

Yuan Zhongchen simply invited Zhao Yi to join the team.

Zhao Yi refused directly, 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 it, you will definitely solve it. After I invest, I can be considered a part of the team, right?"

"But the public is public and the private is private. There is a fee for cooperation!"

He's kind of tongue-in-cheek.

Zhang Zhen said seriously, "Of course, our small team cannot afford to hire you, but if there is anything we can't solve, we will definitely pay for your help."

"Yes, that's right!"

Yuan Zhongchen nodded, "We all get paid. It would be wrong if you don't get paid for your work."

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

"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 sheepishly, "That's right, your speech was too hot. I asked in advance. Yanhua University has sealed off the graduate student building. Only those who are invited can enter. Even Zhong Chen, who graduated from Yanhua, can't enter. I guess it's not allowed. Students inside are not allowed in either."

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

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

Zhao Yi agreed.

…

Zhao Yi’s speech was indeed very popular.

Although Yanhua University only made simple publicity, many people were waiting for his speech and heard that he would speak at Yanhua University. Some even flew overnight to come to the capital.

Yanhua University is prepared for this.

Many professors and lecturers in the school are involved in the reception work. There are already many top professors and top technical people in the industry who are sure to come to listen to the lectures.

If everyone who wants to come comes, the large conference room will be too crowded, and Yanhua University will only be able to block some people.

It’s very difficult for ordinary people to get in.

Zhang Zhen is the manager of Zhouyu Interactive Technology Department. He sounds very powerful, but unfortunately, he can only be regarded as an ordinary person, let alone Yuan Zhongchen.

When Zhao Yi left the interaction with Zhouyu, it was already past four in the afternoon. He took out his mobile phone and found that there were more than a dozen missed calls, half of which were from Xu Chao.

Call back.

Xu Chao's voice was a little urgent, "I have contacted you. Professor Qian has been looking for you, and Professor He is also urging me."

"Professor He?"

"Professor He Mingcheng, the dean of the School of Information, is the number one person in Yanhua University. He is very powerful anyway. Where are you? I will pick you up?"

"No, I'll take a taxi there."

Zhao Yi quickly took a taxi to Yanhua University. On the way, he searched for Professor He Mingcheng and realized that he had met the real boss.

He Mingcheng, 71 years old, is currently the dean of the School of Information at Yanhua University. He is one of the early founders of fuzzy mathematics in China and 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. The most impressive thing is that he used fuzzy mathematics concept calculations to directly affect the decision-making of the Yangtze River dam.

Published nearly 100 papers and six books.

Won numerous awards.

Thinking about meeting such an old professor, Zhao Yi suddenly felt pressure. He knew the highest-ranking person, Professor Liu Hemin.

Obviously.

He Mingcheng is a bit higher than Liu Hemin...
