Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 1487 Cooperation with the Military

With big Robert's words, Professor Watson no longer had any worries. He raised his glass and said: "In this case, I will take some time to challenge Stanford University. At that time, I must create momentum in advance so that everyone More people see them ashamed!"

Big Robert laughed and nodded, then looked at Niu Xiaoqiang: "Student, you have always been a relatively low-key person, why are you suddenly acting so high-key now?"

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't hide anything, and said truthfully: "There are two main reasons. The first is that I want to vent my anger on the teacher, and by the way, I want to improve the reputation of MIT. The second reason is that I want to work in artificial intelligence. Dig deeper in the field of intelligence and strive to seize the first opportunity. For this reason, I think it is necessary to attack Stanford University’s reputation in the field of intelligence, lest they take away the business that should belong to me.”

Niu Xiaoqiang has jointly established the Boston Intelligent Technology Application Company with Watson and Great Robert. This company is still receiving financial sponsorship from various parties and is conducting related exploration and research on artificial intelligence technology.

Of course, the sponsorship funds obtained were basically divided among Niu Xiaoqiang and Big Robert.The two still used the old method, using reasonable research and development expenses to reap benefits from sponsorship funds.

Once Stanford University's intelligence research is also developed, then part of the sponsorship that Niu Xiaoqiang can get will definitely be diverted to the other party.The amount of sponsorship money is increasing every year. Niu Xiaoqiang feels that this is a relatively stable source of income, and he naturally does not want to be robbed of this piece of cake by others.

In addition, Niu Xiaoqiang really wants to strengthen the research and development of smart technology.He cooperated with Li Fuyou to establish a smart drone company, which requires certain technical support, and then he plans to install a smart driving program on the car that is going to be put into production, which also requires technical support.

From these two aspects, it is necessary for Niu Xiaoqiang to pay attention to the research and development of intelligent technology.

At present, his career is basically on the right track, and he has basically explained everything that needs to be explained. Those managers under him can manage the company well, and Niu Xiaoqiang has time to explore smart technology.

After listening to Niu Xiaoqiang's words, Big Robert said as if he remembered something: "Don't tell me, I almost forgot. On the third day after I returned to China, a person from a relevant department came to me privately and asked about the Boston Smart we jointly established. Can the technology application company develop a drone with automatic camera function? He said that as long as we are willing to take over the job, he will immediately allocate us a start-up capital of 2000 million U.S. dollars. I saw that the other party gave so much money, so He didn't directly refuse, but said that this matter needs to be evaluated with the two of you, and he can only reply to him after the evaluation, teacher, junior, do you think we should take this job?"

Big Robert has always been resistant to the people in the relevant departments. If it weren't for the sake of money, he would have rejected it long ago.

Niu Xiaoqiang also likes money very much, and he feels that he already has a certain amount of technical accumulation in his hands, so he is not unprepared to take on this job. He smiled and nodded: "The start-up capital will be 2000 million, see The other party attaches great importance to this project, maybe they will invest hundreds of millions of dollars in the future, so why should we refuse?"

Professor Watson looked at Niu Xiaoqiang with a surprised look: "Xiaoqiang, you should be able to guess that this project is a military project, and most of the drones developed will be used in reconnaissance. You have always opposed things related to the military. Is it related? Why did you agree so readily this time?"

When Niu Xiaoqiang first arrived in the United States, he was not familiar with the place where he lived. With his usual low-key style, he certainly didn't want to have anything to do with the military.For this reason, he even deliberately lowered the technical level when developing intelligent robots, so as not to be targeted by the relevant departments of the United States and secretly threaten him to serve others.

As for now, things are different.Niu Xiaoqiang is now very well-known in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology—or in other words, the entire Boston university, and he is also flourishing in business. He is no longer the unknown little man he was when he first came to the United States. Even if the relevant departments want him to help with things, they dare not use force, otherwise it will cause bad public opinion.

Niu Xiaoqiang has always been law-abiding. Although he has done some bad things in Colombia, this matter is very secretive. Apart from the Rocky brothers and sisters and himself, only Linda knows the inside story.These three people will definitely not betray him.

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't have any leverage in the other party's hands, and his personal image had always been relatively good, so he wasn't afraid of being blackmailed by some people.

In addition to these reasons, there is another very important factor that prompted Niu Xiaoqiang to make a change.That reason is the existence of Cohen Bush.

Although Niu Xiaoqiang did not specifically ask about Cohen Bush's family, he could still infer Cohen Bush's background through some of the information he had already learned.

Cohen Bush is from Texas, and his family has been involved in the oil industry in Texas, with very strong assets.In addition, he has "Bush" in his name, so it is not difficult to know that he is from the Bush family.

Speaking of the Bush family, the first thing people think of is the current vice president. Niu Xiaoqiang feels that even if he encounters harassment from certain departments, he can resolve the trouble through the relationship between Cohen and Bush. Therefore, he is more courageous than when he first arrived in the United States. To be stronger.

Of course, Niu Xiaoqiang would not say these words to Professor Watson and Big Robert. He laughed and said, "Since we have started a company, isn't it normal to receive business? Even if this business is related to the military It doesn't matter, anyway, we won't leak the secrets. It's impossible for people from the military to do anything to me. What's more, our technology level is the world's leading. The military will turn to us for help in the future. How dare they What about us?"

Professor Watson nodded with a smile: "This is reasonable. When it comes to the research of intelligent technology, especially in terms of practical application technology, our small group of three is definitely the best in the world. How can we offend us before we have time?"

Big Robert laughed when he heard this: "In that case, then I will talk back to the other party and continue this business. When I earn money, I must buy a yacht of the same model as my junior, and spend the rest of my life on it." Live in Yacht Hill!"
