Hammer of Technology

Project Ara Ning Wei is also quite interested.Because the modularization of mobile phones may really point out the development direction for the next generation of mobile phones, which is actually quite interesting, at least I would rather not be interested in mobile phones that have the same appearance now.Carrying a cuboid wherever he goes, Ning Wei feels that it is definitely not the way of life for people in the future.

Of course, the main reason is that Ning Wei has a good impression of Sundar Pichai, at least not as arrogant as the president of Intel.Since the attitude is low-key enough, there is still something to talk about.

"If that's the case, I don't have to use my veto right to join the alliance." Ning Wei said with a smile.

Sundar Pichai froze for a moment, this answer made him dumbfounded.

Gu Fu's use of a veto means that everything else must be done according to the rules.

According to the rules, Google has to apply, and then wait for those companies in the Smart Alliance to remember to hold a general meeting. Everyone votes to decide whether to admit Google. This is obviously not what Sundar Pichai wants to see.

What Google needs is to act as soon as possible. It is best to integrate the Google architecture into the system in the next update of the Hongmeng system this year. Only in this way can Google regain the trust of investors, at least the stock price will not fall like it is now. Fall endlessly.Of course, the more important thing is to make everyone feel safe and ensure that Google will not be eliminated in the next era.

This is a strategic need. It is a pity that the entrance to the Internet has never been static.In the transition period before the official arrival of the metaverse era, Google needs too much to ensure the influence of its own architecture in the field of mobile Internet.

"I got news that Professor Ning is leading a project of a future science and technology city. I think Google may be able to build a Google-exclusive area in it. We have many ideas beyond the times and put in time. Maybe we can build in this magnificent city. In the future technology city, we will show the public some different definitions of the future."

After thinking for a while, Sundar Pichai simply changed the topic first, obviously wanting to invest in the technology city as a breakthrough.

At least the information is in place, at least I know that Ningwei has indeed put a lot of energy and time into the project of the future science and technology city.

"Google District of Science and Technology City? This proposal is not bad, but Mr. Pichai, I have to ask some questions first. After the construction of Google District, do you want shares in Science and Technology City?" Ning Wei was quite interested asked a question.

The tea in the hands of both of them was almost cold, but obviously Ning Wei had no intention of adding some hot water to each other.

"Um……"

"It's like this. My ideal science and technology city is a window to show the future world to the outside world. If you really want to have your own area in the science and technology city, it is equivalent to a form of advertising for your own company, so the initial investment must be different. The home is responsible for it. But judging from the construction site I chose, you should also know that this city is not for profit. So after the Google area is built, you still need to be responsible for the maintenance of the equipment in the area.”

"At the same time, because the whole city is not for profit, there is no way to distribute the shares. In other words, we can discuss this matter. Google can invest in a special area. We can also name this area after Google. Or you can choose other names, but this investment is equivalent to advertising. Of course, I will not charge Google for advertising in the future, as long as you maintain the normal operation of the equipment in the area in accordance with the contract. .”

Ning Wei took the trouble to explain.

Of course these Sundar Pichai understand, give money, be responsible for maintenance, and then other things have nothing to do with Google.At best, this future city can only be used as a promotional venue that does not need to pay additional rent. Of course, this will only be effective if the traffic flow is large enough in the future.If the flow of people is sparse, it is pure investment, and even the publicity effect will not be achieved.

But if there is really enough traffic, this kind of tourist city with future technology as its selling point will definitely make money, but no matter how much money it makes in the future, it has nothing to do with Google.

It smells like an unequal treaty.

Sundar Pichai is not sure if Apple is talking to Ningwei in the same way, but he doesn't have much choice.It's actually quite simple to convince yourself that spending some money at once to promote the company is not a particularly traumatic thing for Google.

"These... are all acceptable. So how much would it cost to invest in a region?" Sundar Pichai asked inquiringly.

Ning Wei smiled and said, "Wait..."

After finishing speaking, Ning Wei stood up, stood up from the sofa, walked to the desk, took the notebook over, opened the notebook after finishing it again, and called out: "March..."

"Swoosh...", "Meow..."

"Call out the 3D planning map of our future city."

"Meow……"

"Mr. Pichai wants to represent Google and find a location to build an exclusive Google area. You help him choose a location, and then roughly calculate the investment in various infrastructures."

When the notebook was turned in front of Sundar Pichai, the head of Google was first attracted by the mostly fancy kitten in the corner of the screen. This was the first time he saw this internet celebrity kitten that disturbed the world. .

Then I saw the kitten raised its paws, and moved the sunglasses on its nose down, revealing those smart cat eyes that seemed to look him up and down. This action gave Sundar Pichai a feeling An illusion, as if the camera in the center of the notebook also flashed twice.

The next moment, the little paw was put down, and the kitten's tail was raised, acting as a temporary indicator stick: "Meow, this area is very suitable for large companies to display their products. According to the plan, this area is next to the game area and leisure area, and it is only next to the Huawei area. Across a scenic river, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the location is very good. Google can build a future Google building here that does not belong to Google. If Google's LOGO is made large enough, it can be seen even on the highway. The amount of investment is not high, only US$[-] million is needed to complete all the construction including the building. Of course, other technological products that need to be displayed need to be provided by Google itself.”

Sundar Pichai stared blankly at the computer screen, what should I say?This cat is in a cameo property sale?

Especially the cat's eyes, it really seems to be trying to tell him that Google has taken advantage of it this time!

However, the opening is [-] million US dollars...

Is this when Google's money is the wind?Spending [-] million yuan to build a building whose property rights do not belong to Google at all, but still requires Google to spend energy and money on maintenance and management?

At this moment, Sundar Pichai understood why his friends told him very calmly that Ning Wei was not a businessman, and Sheng seemed to dislike businessmen, so don't deal with him in the way of thinking as a businessman.

These words are too correct, because at this time Sundar Pichai felt that he was facing a robber, how tired of doing business, how easy it is to just open his mouth and take the money directly?

"It seems that you and March are very close, Sundar, you know? March took the initiative to introduce this to others, and you are still the first one. Including the last time I had a video with an old gentleman, March was too lazy to come out Take a second look at that old man, by the way, that old man's surname is Sackler, an old gentleman, but I can guess that he must be a scumbag when he was young, so I ignore him in March. You don't It's the same, March must decide that you are an honest person."

Ning Wei said with a smile.

Sundar Pichai also laughed, and of course he was probably complaining in his heart: "You are an honest person, your whole family is an honest person!"

------------

326 Transformation

Ning Wei stood at the entrance of the Mathematics Research Center, watching Sundar Pichai get into the car.

Liu Wei stood beside him and accompanied him.

Tian Yanzhen was busy with himself except when the Google tycoon showed up when he came.The big boss has the pride of a big boss, and he knows very well that Sundar Pichai came to the number hospital this time just to chat with Ning Wei, so he naturally didn't bother to come over to make people suspicious.

If Lao Tian was there, he might have joked with Sundar Pichai. It is rare for Ning Wei to take the initiative to send people outside the door, which probably shows that the two should have a very speculative chat.

So fortunately Lao Tian is not around. After all, if Lao Ning will spend [-] million U.S. dollars to take two steps, in fact, Sundar Pichai really doesn’t mind face. be slighted.The mood is even more anxious. If Larry Page didn't jump out and say that, maybe Google wouldn't have to spend so much money.

It's just this kind of thinking, and I can only think about it.

He couldn't control what the founder of Google said, and more importantly, at the time, he also agreed that the so-called March Smart Platform should be put under extreme pressure.But because of his identity, he didn't make a clear statement.In fact, what makes Sundar Pichai even more angry is that those who thought they would be allies were stabbed in the back.

Sundar Pichai doesn’t hate companies like Ericsson, Cisco, etc., after all, the turbulence algorithm chip is now also used in Google’s servers.But Apple's counterattack is really disgusting.

But these are not important now. Sundar Pichai is sitting in the car thinking more about where to get the [-] million US dollars.

Many people may not be sensitive to numbers, but in fact, $[-] million is not a small sum even for a global company like Google.There must be some, and it won't hurt your bones if you take them out, but there must be at least a reasonable reason.After all, the money should have been used for research and development, or to distribute dividends to shareholders.And it should be reflected in the financial report.

Especially the money is different from the old guy Ningwei said. Google needs Ningwei's support if it wants to talk to Huawei about this matter, so he doesn't have much confidence in bargaining, and he can't use real things to deduct it. The disgusting thing is that even if you pay the money, you can't get the corresponding shares to make accounts, but when you announce the financial report, you must give a reason.

This is the hardest part for Sundar Pichai.

After sitting in the car with his eyes closed and thinking for a long time, Sundar said to the co-pilot's secretary: "At eight o'clock tonight, a teleconference will be held to discuss the possibility of Google restarting the Chinese market."

Yes, this is the solution that Sundar Pichai came up with after thinking for a long time.

He wants to persuade the board of directors to approve the decision to return to the Chinese market in the near future. As long as this decision is implemented, the [-] million US dollars of expenses will be easy to account for.Re-entering a huge market will definitely require expenses.Whether it's building its own storage center in China or promoting Google's brand, all of these require a lot of money.

As long as this program is started, even if the [-] million US dollars is invested in marketing expenses in China, there will be a relatively perfect explanation.

After all, March also said that the Google building in the future city can design a huge LOGO, which can be seen by vehicles passing by on the highway, so the money should be well spent.

Of course, if Google can really re-enter the Chinese market, even if it can occupy a [-]% market share, then it is worth the money invested.When Google made a high-profile withdrawal from the Chinese market, it really did not expect that the Internet in China would develop so fast over the years, almost reaching the point of universal access.

Speaking of the huge market of 14 billion people, who wouldn't covet it?Maybe turn something bad into something good?

……

"Brother Liu, I helped you get about 40 billion construction funds. Although it has to be transferred in five batches, it should be more than enough for infrastructure construction, right? I'm really a little drifting now, and the money feels like a string of numbers. Three years ago, let alone 800 million, I dare not even think about [-] million." Ning Wei looked at the car going away and said with emotion.

Liu Wei nodded, in fact, he was also dreaming.

It has never been an easy task for the capital to willingly hand over money. Now that Ningwei has made these big bosses willingly hand out money to support the construction of a small Chinese county, it is indeed remarkable.

So he really doesn't mind that Ning Wei uses this kind of thing to pretend to be aggressive in front of him, even a few more times, and it can even make him more motivated to do things.

Using other people's money to make one's own family live a better life was once a basic operation in some countries, but it was very difficult for other countries, especially China.Although what Ningwei is doing now is probably to get [-] million points of interest back in advance, but this at least represents the beginning of a benign development.

Under the influence of Ning Wei, Liu Wei felt that his thoughts were much deeper now.For example, he can no longer listen to the high-spirited talk of those economists on the Internet. Even after Ning Wei got [-] million dollars from that old scumbag, Liu Wei has thought about a deep problem, such as economics. In essence, can't it be simplified to the question of where the money comes from and where it goes?

Once she thought about it too much, Liu Wei felt that it was ridiculous. As a world currency, the opposite side only needs to print money to buy and buy everywhere in the world. This money is really easy to earn.In comparison, Liu Wei felt that Ning Wei was actually too gentle in grabbing.

"Well, don't worry, Ning Wei, our project quality will be the best. Especially now that the money is not bad, including the three links, the construction is completed according to the highest quality requirements. The future technology city will definitely not let you down. Yes." Liu Wei replied.

"Hey, I'm sure Mr. Chen is at ease. Speaking of which, Sundar is not bad. He is actually different from the Indians mentioned on the Internet. It makes sense." Ning Wei commented.

"Here...he is the president of Google, and he is already a small group of people standing at the top of the world's pyramid. You can't compare this Indian elite with ordinary people, can you?" Liu Wei shook her head and said.

"Speaking of elites... well, let me check what time it is, 11:[-]? It's almost time for dinner, why not, I'll ask the students in the class I'm optimistic about and how many people are in school, I'll treat them to a meal. Watch them while we eat."

While speaking, Ning Wei took out his phone and opened WeChat.

As the youngest professor at Yanbei University, Ning Wei has never put on airs. During the interview process, the few students who satisfied him the most all came to WeChat, and then he even created a special group.Now there are 13 people in this group, all of whom are outstanding in overall quality after this interview.

In other words, they were all students who were directly approved by the extremely interviewer.

"@Everyone, who is still at Yanbei University? Today I invite everyone to have a big meal."

Soon the group became lively.

"Professor Ning, I'm still here, right here at Boya Tower."

"I'm here, I'm here too, but I'm sightseeing at the vocational school opposite, and I can be back in 10 minutes."

"Ah, Professor Ning, if you didn't tell me earlier, I'm on my way to Beijing West Railway Station, and the train will leave in nine or ten minutes. If I had known that Professor Ning would invite you to dinner, I wouldn't be leaving today..."

"Weeping and fainting on the bed. I didn't get home until three o'clock in the morning last night. I haven't woken up yet. Professor Ning won't take you with me. Please don't inform me about dinner."

……

"Haha, let me count. Yes, there are still seven people here. I will go to the hotel next to the business school to have dinner later. I will send you an address and let you know when the box is booked."

……

Professor Ning invites you to dinner. The children in Ning's class are still very active in the future.

When Ning Wei went back to the office to pack up his things, informed Jiang that she would not be here to deliver meals today, and walked to the hotel with Liu Weiyi, the children in the private room had already arrived.

Ning Wei was very pleased that those who stayed at school were his favorite classmates, such as Chen Diancheng, who showed his love for mathematics through playing games; Lu Yongjia, who had already started to teach himself linear algebra in high school; Shang Peijun, Li Ruochen and Jiang Wenhan, who represented the national team in the World Mathematical Olympiad last year and got full marks; Wang Xiwen, who participated in MCM/ICM as a high school student and played an important role in the team; and this year's science college entrance examination of Yuzhou Province The champion Qiu Ruimao.

Of course, these are just the achievements of these children before.In other words, the resume looks particularly good, but in fact, the resumes of students from Yanbei and Huaqing University are excellent every year.

Especially for Ningban, these resumes are just a stepping stone, so that the well-informed Hirota Genshin will not feel that the quality of this year's students is particularly good, and even ask for an increase in Ningban's preliminary screening quota.

What made Ning Wei and Director Tian like it was the understanding of mathematics that these children showed during the interview.Although some ideas may be naive, but the talent can be felt, and the personality is also good.

This is also what Tian Yanzhen has repeatedly explained to Ning Wei before. When selecting students in the Ning class, they still have to consider the students' personality and ability to withstand stress, which Ning Wei deeply agrees with.

So the first batch of personality aspects that were unanimously approved belonged to those who were more cheerful and lively.

In fact, there is still an audit that Ning Wei doesn't know about, and this aspect is handled by Mr. Chen, with a silent background.

This was probably the reason, when Ning Wei walked into the box, several half-grown children were chatting lively and energetic.

After Ning Wei arrived, the half-grown children seemed a little cautious, but most of them were still excited.

They were all students who were vying for top universities in China, and they finally chose to apply for the Ning class because they had a little admiration for Ning Wei.

Not to mention that Ning Wei is still a professor now, and the teachers of Ning's class in the future have a high probability of being their graduate tutors in the future. This is a natural suppression of status.

"Hello, Professor Ning." It wasn't a neat greeting, but all the children stood up spontaneously.

"Sit and sit, I don't like to stand up in college class, let alone eat." Ning Wei said with a smile on his face.

I am really in a good mood today, and helped raise more than 40 billion yuan for the future city project in Luopu County, and I am one step closer to this huge experimental city.

Especially seeing these young and energetic faces, Ning Wei felt that he had regained some of the youthful feelings he had when he was in college, and his mood became more cheerful.

"Actually, I am not much older than you, so there should be no generation gap between us, and there is no need to be cautious between us. Inviting everyone to dinner today is a way to understand in advance."

"So everyone, take it easy, let's chat casually, order what you like to eat, just order, don't be polite to me, let's talk about something serious after ordering."

Ning Wei said grandly, of course, the main reason is the confidence brought by the bank card balance.Fortunately, everyone knew this confidence, so the ordering became more lively, and soon everyone finished ordering with laughter, and then all eyes focused on Ningwei again.

The waiter in the box took the ordered menu to inform the kitchen, and a group of students focused their attention on Ning Wei again.

"They're all young people, and I don't want to hide and say vague things with everyone. Those of you who were directly dragged into the group by me are all outstanding students in the first batch of Ning class. It doesn't mean that you can be proud in advance, today's meal is mainly to talk about mathematics with you, so that you can understand in advance some things you need to be exposed to in the future."

"First of all, I want to ask you a question. Why do our headphone cables get tangled up in our pockets? Is there any mathematical reason for this? Has anyone thought about this problem?"

Ning Wei asked with a smile, and then glanced at the faces of the seven people.

The children began to think, mainly because this question was a little sudden, and no one thought that the boss would have to test everyone in the school before eating.

"Xiao Chen, what do you think? Say it boldly, it's okay." Ning Wei looked at Chen Diancheng, felt that the child seemed to want to speak, and encouraged him.

At this moment, Ning Wei found the feeling of being a teacher.

"Professor Ning, I think this may be due to the structure of the earphone cable?"

Ning Wei nodded with a smile, and said: "Student Chen is right. This involves some problems after the Y-shaped topology is stressed. If you really want to solve this problem mathematically, you need a very complicated solution. Let's not mention it today."

"The point of asking this question is that I hope everyone can know that when you start the Ningban study meeting, you will find that the content of mathematics studied in college is very different from that in high school. Mathematics is not the same, it can even be said to be completely different things, such as structure."

"Not only the topological structural problems, but also various algebraic structural problems, and from the structure to various mathematically defined spaces, especially when it comes to artificial intelligence. The abstracted digital concepts must be consistent with reality. One-to-one correspondence requires your thinking to be more relaxed and wider, and you must dare to imagine. Let go of your thinking and find a one-to-one correspondence between mathematics and reality to give the machine the ability to think. You must be mentally prepared .”

Ning Wei said it sincerely.

"Professor Ning, don't worry. On behalf of myself, I guarantee that after entering the Ning class, I will definitely study hard and live up to your high expectations." Student Chen said first.

"Yes, Professor Ning, I'm already looking forward to the courses that Ning's class will study."
