"Mr. Mo, I'm here to report."

"Welcome! Welcome to Nietzsche!"

The next day, Huang Hai didn't delay much and drove an Infiniti to Nietzsche's headquarters early in the morning to officially report.

At 9 a.m., Mo Ran specially summoned all employees and introduced Huang Hai to them in person.

Actually,

Many employees heard the news yesterday afternoon, but they really waited until Mo Ran personally introduced Huang Hai from a Fortune 500 company.

And when he was the general manager of the marketing department of Daikin Air Conditioning (Yanguo) Branch, everyone still couldn't hide the shock in their eyes.

No one expected that such an awesome top talent would suddenly come to the company.

After the short introduction meeting, everyone was talking a lot.

"Oh my God, I never thought that one day I would be able to work in the same company as the boss of a Fortune 500 company..."

"Yes! I was so stupid when Mr. Mo introduced me just now. Working for a Fortune 500 company was a dream I dreamed of when I graduated. I didn't expect it to come true now."

"Hahaha, it made me laugh so hard, it works in reverse!"

"Stop talking nonsense, don't you think he is really handsome? Although he is a little less handsome than Mr. Mo, he looks really charming... I wonder if he is single."

"Bah, don't be crazy, I'm afraid others won't even look at us."

"That's Xiao Zhou. He's an executive from a Fortune 500 company. Wake up."

"But... he was really easy-going when he was introduced just now!"

While talking, Hao Keji happened to come over with a teacup.

Hearing the conversation between a few girls at the front desk, I couldn't help but stop and stepped forward to interject.

"Xiao Zhou, don't be naive. Brother Hao and I will be nicer to you and get along with you guys."

"They are the top executives of Fortune 500 companies, how can they not be a little bit arrogant?"

After the words fell, Xiao Zhou pursed his lips.

But at this moment, her expression suddenly froze, and she looked behind Hao Keke in surprise.

"Sisters, I just ordered coffee for everyone. Please help me sign for it when it arrives later."

"By the way, I'll invite you all to have hot pot together tonight. I've already booked the place. All beauties, please show me some respect."

When the voice came, everyone was shocked.

Who else could speak, it was Huang Hai they were discussing.

Within two seconds, Xiao Zhou was the first to react.

"Mr. Huang, you are so kind, we will definitely come!"

Immediately afterwards, several girls at the front desk also reacted completely.

He said hurriedly:

"Mr. Huang, you are so polite... Just give me any instructions in the future."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Huang, you must be unfamiliar with many things when you have just arrived. If you have any questions, just ask and we will definitely solve it."

"Mr. Huang, let me go and show you what else is missing from your office...I'll go get it for you."

"Mr. Huang..."

Hao Keke stood aside and couldn't help but snorted in his heart.

Humph, win people's hearts!

But when he was about to leave quietly, Huang Hai suddenly stretched out his right hand and said with a smile:

"Master Hao, I have long admired your name."

"I didn't meet you when I came here yesterday. I didn't have time to talk in detail during the morning meeting. I hope you will give me more advice in the future!"

"I'm going to give you two toasts tonight!"

Hao Keke was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Huang Hai, who had a sincere smile on his face, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Good guy, this is an executive from a Fortune 500 company.

Now...take the initiative to shake my hand?

Is this attitude too low?

but……

It feels kind of comfortable.

After a moment, he coughed slightly, then held Huang Hai's right hand tightly, with a smile on his face.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, Mr. Huang, you need to give me more advice!"

"By the way, your 'air-conditioning department' is currently short of manpower. How about I arrange for two employees from our department to go over and help you?"

"That's no need. Thank you for your kindness."

"..."

Huang Hai invited everyone to drink coffee on his first day at work, and Mo Ran quickly found out about the meal.

to be honest,

He is not worried about Huang Hai's ability. Anyone who can be a department manager of a Fortune 500 company will not be too poor in ability.

The only thing he worried about was whether he would be "acclimated to the local environment". Unexpectedly, Huang Hai had a high emotional intelligence. He captured the favor of most people with just a few cups of coffee and a hot pot meal, and he quickly integrated into Nietzsche's atmosphere.

I feel relieved now.

Thinking of this, Mo Ran closed the office door and immediately entered the "super store system".

Although Huang Hai has joined, the overall situation of the "air conditioning business department" is still too thin.

Mo Ran has thought carefully these days and decided to purchase a suitable "air conditioning technology" in the system, which can be regarded as supporting the "air conditioning business department".

Since the selling point of the first air conditioner is "energy saving", he is ready to start with this.

Enter the system and search for the keywords - "energy saving, power saving".

soon.

Many matching technologies appeared on the search bar.

In fact, when manufacturers design an air conditioner, there are many factors that affect the energy consumption of an air conditioner.

For example, the design of the condenser and evaporator on the outdoor unit, whether it is a variable-frequency or fixed-frequency compressor, and the power and sensitivity of the compressor are all factors that affect the power consumption of the air conditioner.

but,

The most important factors are the variable frequency compressor and the "electronic control program".

This is like a fuel car. Everyone is an engine, but engines with the same displacement have better "combustion power" and save more fuel. Some engines consume more fuel. It's the same principle.

In addition, even if they have the same engine (compressor) and the same gearbox (inverter controller), due to the overall adjustment level (electronic control program) of each manufacturer,

The final power performance and fuel consumption are very different.

Mo Ran directly passed on the "variable frequency motor" technology that he couldn't afford, and focused on the "electronic control program".

[Type C-air conditioning intelligent control energy-saving program, quality: ordinary (C level), purchase points: 50,000. 】

[Type B - air conditioner intelligent control energy-saving program, quality: good (B grade), purchase points: 100,000. 】

[Type A-Air conditioner intelligent control energy-saving program, quality: excellent (Grade A), purchase points: 200,000. 】

The situation is similar to the last time I bought a TF memory card.

After Mo Ran clicked on an air-conditioning intelligent control energy-saving program, three programs of different qualities immediately appeared.

The only difference is that the points price is slightly more expensive.

Mo Ran looked carefully, and when he saw the end, he suddenly discovered that there was another program underneath that he had never noticed before.

["Compilable"-air conditioning intelligent control energy-saving program, initial quality: good (B grade), purchase points: 300,000, view details. 】

Mo Ran was slightly startled.

It is also of good (B-level) quality. The B-type above only requires 100,000 points, but the "compilable type" requires 300,000 points!

This is three times as much!

What exactly is the difference between the two?

After thinking for a moment, Mo Ran simply called the system for help.

[Excuse me, what is "compilable"? 】

[Dear host, "compilable" only exists in the algorithm program. Purchasing a "compilable" algorithm will come with a full set of source code and development ideas. The host can continue to optimize and improve in the future. 】

[For example, if you purchase a "compilable" algorithm with good initial quality (Level B) now, after improvements by your R\u0026D team in the future, it may reach the level of a Level A algorithm, with a very high degree of openness. 】

This was the first time Mo Ran heard such an explanation.

[What about ordinary, such as "Type B (good)" quality algorithm programs? Then you can’t continue to upgrade? 】

【Yes! 】

[Non-"compilable" algorithms, such as "Type B (Good) - Air Conditioning Intelligent Control Energy Saving Program", only provide applications and do not support secondary development. 】

[Furthermore, algorithms that are judged to be of good quality in your current timeline (2017) will gradually become C-level or even D-level as technology develops. 】

So that's the case.

Mo Ran understood completely.

In other words, it is a "compilable" algorithm program, and then your own R\u0026D team can carry out secondary development and improvement on this basis.

Of course, whether it can be improved even better depends on the strength of the R\u0026D team.

The ordinary type, that is to say, only provides programs, just like APPs, it is only for your use and does not support development.

After one or two years of use, even good (B-grade) quality will be reduced to C-grade because it is not updated to the backward times.

Thinking of this, Mo Ran suddenly thought of the "AI camera optimization", "mobile game optimization" and "face recognition technology" that he had obtained through completing tasks before.

It seems that just as the system explained, these optimization programs are only provided for program use and do not provide source code that can be compiled and improved!

[System, the algorithm optimization programs I have are also ordinary types? 】

[Yes, the optimization programs you are getting now are all ordinary types, and some of them are of good quality (B-level). They will be reduced to C-level quality in about half a year. 】

[Finally, to reiterate, the quality of all technologies and solutions is related to the timeline. 】

"All right."

Mo Ran quickly accepted the system's explanation, and it did make sense.

Excellent (A-level) quality should have a technical advantage period of one or two years, but as time develops, the technology of 2017 cannot be still A-level in 2023.

immediately,

Mo Ran's eyes fell on the "compilable" air-conditioning quality control program, initial quality: good (level B).

Although the "compilable" algorithm is three times more expensive than the ordinary type, it can be continuously optimized after purchasing it once, which is a good thing for Nietzsche's "air conditioning business unit".

It’s always more cost-effective than buying a regular model and spending points again next year if you buy it this year.

After thinking about this clearly, he clicked "View Details".

[Air conditioning intelligent control energy saving program]:

[This program can automatically control the ‘compressor’ speed and efficiency according to various scenarios and indoor and outdoor temperatures, thereby achieving precise cooling and intelligent power saving functions. 】

[The maximum sensitivity of this program is 0.1 degrees, and the best state can achieve a 12% power saving effect. More than 15% is considered Class A. 】

[Note: This intelligent control energy-saving program needs to be used with the ‘inverter compressor’. 】

The power saving effect is 12%, which is not low either.

Mo Ran no longer hesitated and clicked to buy.

[Dear host, are you sure you want to buy: "Compilable"-air conditioning intelligent control energy-saving program? 】

[This purchase will cost 300,000 points. 】

【Sure. 】

The blue light flashes and the purchase is successful!

Thanks to the good performance in the past two months, I earned over 100,000 points. Adding the previous balance of 190,000 points, I barely managed to save 300,000 points.

But even so,

Seeing that his points were almost cleared, Mo Ran still felt a twinge of pain.

This time, he really spent a lot of money on the "Air Conditioning Business Department"!

…

soon.

Mo Ran handed over the system’s “compilable” air-conditioning intelligent control and energy-saving program to Huang Hai.

After briefly introducing the functions, Huang Hai was not surprised.

Not only Nietzsche, but most air conditioning companies are also developing their own electronic control programs, which are nothing more than high or low levels.

It is not surprising that a manufacturer like Nietzsche, which can develop "face recognition technology", comes up with an "air conditioning intelligent control energy-saving program".

"Received. When the personnel are ready, I will arrange for them to familiarize themselves with this procedure."

"But... Mr. Mo, it's a company secret, so I'd better sign a confidentiality agreement."

Mo Ran was not pretentious and did not refuse.

After finishing all these, time gradually passed, and January was over, and the Spring Festival of 2017 would be ushered in in a few days.

February 3rd.

There is only one week left before the Spring Festival, and at the same time, the sales data for January are out.

Nietzsche’s “Mobile Phone Business Unit” saw a decline in profits compared to the end of last year.

Even with the facelifted "Nietzsche A8", profits fell 10% compared to the peak season at the end of December, with profits falling from 48 million yuan to 43 million yuan.

The TV business is much better.

Not only did profits not decrease, but sales continued to rise as the Chinese New Year approached.

Profits rose from 24 million yuan last month to 28 million yuan, an increase of nearly 20%.

The combined profits of the two main business units are close to 71 million yuan.

but.

Due to the establishment of the "Air Conditioning Business Department" and continued recruitment of talents, salary costs in January increased significantly.

After deducting all other expenses, the net profit was approximately 68 million yuan.

As of February, the company's cash reached 610 million.

Mo Ran breathed out lightly.

Overall, it's pretty good. The only problem is that compared to the continued growth in TV sales, the mobile phone business is at risk of slowing down.

After all, "Luban 8" has quietly entered the replacement cycle.

However, the Spring Festival was approaching at this time, and Mo Ran finally decided to start the replacement plan of "Luban No. 8" after the year.

February 7th.

The time has come to the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Mo Ran decided to have a family reunion dinner with his employees, and then took three days off in advance so that employees from other places could go home early for the New Year.

"Jiang Lan, I want to inform everyone to have a reunion dinner tonight."

"Then it will officially be a holiday tomorrow. Of course, local employees in Chengdu will be arranged to be on duty in the next few days, and the wages will be paid three times."

Jiang Lan was dressed in a professional OL outfit, except that the original thin flesh-colored stockings were replaced by thickened stockings.

After hearing Mo Ran's instructions, she nodded slightly.

But after a while, she did not leave in a hurry, but looked at Mo Ran silently.

Mo Ran noticed something strange.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Uh...nothing."

Jiang Lan looked away with embarrassment, her face turned slightly red, she calmed down and said in a low voice:

"Mr. Mo, are you celebrating the New Year in Chengdu this year? Or are you going somewhere else?"

Mo Ran was stunned.

This is the first year he has traveled through time. In his memory, the original owner's parents are no longer here, and the only two good friends he has made have gone abroad.

At this time, Chengdu was his only place to stay.

"What's wrong?"

"I...I just asked out of the blue."

"If you are alone, I can stay in Chengdu to spend the Spring Festival with you."

By the end of the sentence, Jiang Lan's face turned red with embarrassment and his head lowered.
