Chapter 2984 Right Brain Thinking

The good news is here.

Sam Altman's resignation application was finally approved by YC Investment.

On the day of his resignation, he reported to Ziweixing International.

Zhou Buqi had another special talk with him, telling him not to be too impatient. He could go on vacation first, take a break, learn about artificial intelligence through some materials, and understand the basic talent information in this industry. After he officially returns, he can start recruiting.

As for the official launch of this project...

In other words, if this project wants to truly apply for a large amount of R&D funding, it will definitely be half a year later, and it has to give way to an IPO.

It was easy to convince Sam Altman.

It’s as if the two sides have formed a tacit leadership relationship.

Zhou Buqi could not hide his excitement, and after he left, he burst into laughter, as proud as he could be.

Zhang Zetian came over to sort out the materials and put away the water cups. Seeing him like this, she said angrily, "Boss, you've lost your composure!"

"You don't understand, this is called achievement!"

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and ignored her.

Zhang Zetian's brows were filled with confusion. "Why didn't I see how powerful this person is? His name is quite special, Ultraman... Kids in China like Ultraman very much now."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Yes, it's Ultraman. I really hope that he can fight monsters for me in the future and clear the obstacles on the road to development."

"Is he really good?"

"I'm sure it will work."

"How did you get it?"

Zhang Zetian blinked her eyes with a curious look. She was a secretary, but she was not an ordinary secretary. As her name suggests, "Zetian" means "Zetian", which is a kind of ambition and aspiration inherited from Wu Zetian.

She is different from those female secretaries who are content to be vases and indulge in a happy life.

If you have the opportunity to learn from Boss Zhou, you must seize it.

Zhou Buqi said, "Because he and I are the same kind of people. This generative large model project is not something that can be accomplished by just one executive or scientist. It requires someone with an entrepreneurial temperament and entrepreneurial thinking."

Zhang Zetian put down the coffee cup she was about to put away, ran to the big desk, sat lightly on his lap, hooked her arm around his neck, and said coquettishly in a long voice: "Boss, boss, big boss, please teach me!"

"Don't teach!"

"If you teach me, I'll give you a surprise."

"What surprise?"

"My sister, my aunt's sister, gave birth to a baby last month and is now in Los Angeles. She is prettier than me and several years younger than you."

Zhang Zetian's eyes were sparkling, and she found Boss Zhou's weak spot with extremely accurate entry point.

Even Zhou Buqi didn't react and said strangely: "What does your sister giving birth to a child have to do with me? It's not my child."

Zhang Zetian pointed to her chest and said with a smile: "Aren't you greedy?"

Zhou Buqi cleared his throat and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Zhang Zetian smiled uncontrollably and said, "You're blushing."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Zhou Buqi didn't believe that he would blush. This little girl must be talking nonsense. With his rich experience over the years, would he be embarrassed over such a small matter? That would underestimate the realm of our boss Zhou!

"My ears are red..." Zhang Zetian said halfway, then cleverly changed the subject, pestering him, "Boss, what exactly are these entrepreneurial temperament and entrepreneurial thinking that you always talk about?" Zhou Buqi said, "The scientific term is right-brain thinking."

"what?"

Zhang Zetian was slightly startled.

Zhou Buqi said: "The human brain has two parts, the left brain and the right brain. The left brain thinking is generally linear, coherent, and logical, so corporate executives and scientists all think in the left brain, focusing on concepts, numbers, analysis, logical reasoning and other functions. But entrepreneurs are different. Right brain thinking is a kind of spatial imagination, in the form of images."

"Oh……"

Zhang Zetian seemed to understand but not quite.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Most entrepreneurs think with the right brain. For example, if I want to design a product, the left brain logic is to conduct social surveys, understand the general preferences and trends of the market, and then analyze and summarize to design the product. The right brain thinking does not have these things, and the product can be created completely based on inspiration and sensibility."

Zhang Zetian blurted out: "You are just like that! Many of your product ideas seem nonsensical, but after they are launched on the market, they always have good results. And...Steve Jobs is the same, you all have the same style."

"Yes." Zhou Buqi nodded. "Right-brain thinking is more common among 'dreamers'. So... aren't you in an MBA class? You must have learned a concept. In a company, if there is no entrepreneur, then the company will have no business; however, if the entrepreneur is always in charge of the company, then the company will not have much business."

Zhang Zetian nodded slightly, "Yes, I have learned it. Entrepreneurs are good at working from 0 to 1, but working from 1 to 100 requires smart managers who are good at management. This is a different division of labor."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Yes, being a corporate executive requires left-brain thinking. But many corporate executives or outstanding employees don't understand this. They think that they can do anything just because they have achieved 1 to 100. They even think that they are more important than the entrepreneur. As a result, they will make trouble and demand outrageous compensation. If they can't reach an agreement, they will quit and start their own business. Many people are like this. When they go out to start their own business, they realize that going from 0 to 1 and going from 1 to 100 are two completely different logics. Many of these executives or outstanding employees who jump out to start their own businesses will encounter disastrous failures, and some will even be heavily in debt after failure."

Zhang Zetian is very smart. She immediately understood the difference and said thoughtfully: "Left brain thinking is linear thinking, right brain thinking is image thinking... This statement is so vivid. Isn't this the difference between CPU and GPU!"

Zhou Buqi laughed out loud and kissed her several times, "How smart!"

Zhang Zetian said: "The current AI model training is not about learning from humans, but about creating its own thinking from the process of learning from humans, and generating AI intuition. Therefore, AI computing power requires a right-brain thinking GPU, not a left-brain thinking CPU. The right-brain thinking of entrepreneurs is intuitive and more holistic thinking. This is a three-dimensional concept, not like left-brain thinking, which starts from a point and slowly develops and grows into a line or a surface."

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, that's what I mean. So in a company, entrepreneurs are usually not good at long-term management. A company needs a right-brain thinker to promote its development, and also needs a left-brain thinker to manage it in the long term after it does start to develop."

Zhang Zetian understood now, "So Sam Altman is very important, because he has the attributes of an entrepreneur! He is a right-brain thinker!"

"Yes, don't you think he's a little bit out of place? His behavior is a little different from that of normal people?"

"Kind of."

"Because most people think with their left brain, including you. You think you can understand a person's various behaviors because you are at the same resonance frequency and you are both left-brain thinkers. As for those entrepreneurs who think with their right brain, you always feel that they are weird and different from normal people. You can't resonate with this kind of people, so it is difficult for you to understand them."

Zhou Buqi's feeling is also based on experience.

When he was in China, he did not have such a strong feeling. He only had such feelings about a few people such as Mr. Liu, Mr. Ma, Yu Minhong, and Lao Zhang. He felt that they were really different from ordinary people. There were always some behaviors that were counterintuitive according to common sense, which made it difficult for the public to understand, and even made people feel that they were absurd, ridiculous, and inexplicable.

Came to the United States to develop, came to Silicon Valley...

It was immediately available on the market.

There are so many people like this!

There are weird people everywhere, and all the big companies in Silicon Valley were founded by these "weirdos".

Zhang Zetian understood now and sighed softly, "No wonder, now I finally understand. Boss, I understand you now."

Zhou Buqi asked: "What do you understand about me?"

Zhang Zetian said softly, "You like to drink milk. I didn't understand it before. Now I understand, because you are a big entrepreneur, you think with your right brain, and I am an ordinary girl, I think with my left brain. I can't resonate with you and can't keep up with your pace. Before, I thought you were wrong, but now I understand that it's not you who is wrong, but my thinking is too simple and superficial, which makes my vision too narrow."

Zhou Buqi thought it made sense and said solemnly, "Well, that's right. Misunderstandings are inevitable due to differences in understanding. It's okay if you understand it now. If any of them don't understand, you have to talk to them carefully and guide them to improve, so that they don't misjudge my character."

"Should I ask my sister to come?" Zhang Zetian blinked. "I think I can convince her."

Zhou Buqi cleared his throat and said, "No, I'm going to Los Angeles in a few days."
