Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1548 Main Business

After breakfast, Zhou Zhi still couldn't go to class because today was Monday, and he had to attend morning meetings at Clover Company on Monday morning and Friday afternoon.

The company has more and more business departments now, but he has inherited the fine tradition of Prime Minister Zhuge. Except for a few projects that he personally handled, the rest are all based on the "big picture".

The most important business is of course Angel Venture Capital. Zhou Zhi has decades of time-travel experience than others, so finding gold among a pile of sand and stones is naturally his mission.

And after so many years of success, Li Laosan has become more and more convinced of it. As long as it is a venture capital project named by Zhou Zhi, almost any venture capital project can become a "unicorn" company. This has been proven. .

The so-called "unicorn companies" are actually the name used by people in the investment community in the United States to start-up companies that have been established for less than ten years and have a market value of more than one billion US dollars. In recent years, this type of enterprise has become particularly prominent among innovative enterprises in the digital economy, and has almost become a sudden force that has attracted widespread attention.

However, like any ecosystem, it is common for big fish to eat small fish, small fish to eat shrimps, and even shrimps to eat big fish. Being able to clearly see who will be eaten and who will eat others requires extraordinary skills. Industry vision and deep understanding of the industry.

In Li Laosan's impression, Zhou Zhi's vision and understanding of this industry can almost be classified as metaphysics.

The second business is the memory chip manufacturing industry currently jointly invested in Zhangjiang, Huahong and Samsung, as well as the DVD chip production line and analog chip production line jointly invested in Huahong and Sony.

The third business is also closely related to the chip manufacturing industry. It is to use EDA and ASIC design software authorized by Samsung to carry out peripheral design around Samsung's memory chips. At the same time, it will transform the patents brought by Fujio Shioka and provide a technical team to ensure that Fujio Shioka You can migrate to Samsung's software platform to continue your research work.

At the same time, a team will be required to disassemble these two Samsung software, use reverse engineering to understand their technology, and then use their advantages in VC to develop their own EDA and ASIC design software.

The fourth business is software sales. This is a hen that lays golden eggs. Now Clover has several leading products, including anti-virus software, Hanwen large font library, and text processing software, which are independent from the supermarket system. It has developed financial management systems, business management systems, corporate document management systems, internal program-controlled communication software, attendance systems, personnel management systems, telephone conference systems, etc.

There are also professional system software - special business information system for the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau, special information management system for large hospitals, etc.

The fourth business is of course the carrier of these software systems - hardware system engineering, and Yang He is currently engaged in part of this work.

This department is very profitable, but the most profitable part is not in the mainland, but in the stake in the CDMA mobile business in Hong Kong Island. When Li Qiyan wanted to develop this business, it was not favored by most Hong Kong Island capital, but Zhou Zhi strongly supported it and invested part of the dividends from the European currency crisis into the construction of mobile business through the AXA Fund, and is now beginning to reap rich rewards.

In addition to these main businesses, there are many scientific research projects, which Zhou Zhi personally focuses on, namely the digital library, the online chat tool as an additional ecosystem, the forum BBS as an additional ecosystem, and the Internet Yellow Pages project.

With so many businesses to deal with, it is impossible to say that you are not busy but are thoughtful. However, deeply influenced by Li Laosan, I believe that emerging technology companies and financial companies only need to directly manage ten people.

At least so far, Zhou Zhi has not found any major problems in practice.

The current remote conference call cannot be used for video, but the audio is no longer a problem. Executives from various places have been reporting on work progress and requesting decisions throughout the morning. At this time, the importance of English is highlighted, because most of these people can't speak Chinese. People like Fujio Sugaoka even have a harsh English, which is very uncomfortable to hear.

After dealing with these, Zhou Zhi started to enter his own direct business.

The first is the digital library project.

This project is now divided into four major projects, one is "Daozang" and "Shi Zang" led by Peking University, one is "Confucianism Tibet" led by Shu University, and the other is "Jingjiatang" jointly led by China and foreign countries. digital library".

The first three projects are all terrifyingly large. In comparison, they need to record 400,000 books. Among them, Jingjiatang, which is based on Baisonglou classics and 100,000 Hanzhuan classics, can only be considered a " Pilot".

Although several projects each have a leading school, it is also a matter that the national cultural and historical research institutes are jointly involved in, and Clover Company cannot escape, and all the underlying scientific and technological support must rely on it.

Fortunately, things have been prioritized. Peking University is still discussing cataloging and formatting, and it won't be easy for a while.

Shu University is actually a lucky one. Although "Ru Zang" is also full of books, one good thing is that the official classics of the past dynasties have been cataloged, archived, managed, and indexed. It's almost done.

Therefore, you only need to consider how to combine these ancient methods with modern digital technology, and how to use modern tools and methodologies to do some breakthrough work, and then you can start work.

The so-called modern tools and methodologies refer to some modern statistical theories and application methods, as well as information systems that contain the ideas of these theories and application methods.

As for the groundbreaking work, three directions have been carefully planned: graph database, super search engine, and big data analysis.

Current databases are divided into relational and non-relational.

A relational database refers to a database that uses a relational model to organize data. It stores data in the form of rows and columns to facilitate user understanding. A series of rows and columns constitute a table, and a group of tables constitutes a database.

This kind of database is the easiest to understand, and its rigorous and mature mathematical theoretical basis makes data modeling and application programming easier, so Zhou Zhi jokingly calls it the "Science Dog Database".

In fact, the Microsoft OFFICE package that everyone is familiar with, the EXCEL table in it, combined with the built-in VB, can also complete some data statistics programming work, and realize the functions of data storage and analysis. It itself is a very intuitive relational database. .

Some programming masters can even use it to achieve powerful statistical analysis and calculation functions. In the last life, Zhou Zhi once saw using EXCEL books to make libraries and sheets to make tables, and write complex and efficient programs to complete the personnel management of a large unit. A great person is really a calf pulling a cart, and he maximizes human subjective initiative under limited conditions.
