From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 198 Huge Market
In fact, in non-Euclidean geometry, parallel lines intersect.

The simplest example is that the latitude and longitude lines of Aquamarine are perpendicular to each other, and the longitude lines are all perpendicular to the equator.

Lines perpendicular to the same line are also parallel.
However, all meridians intersect at the North and South Poles.

So parallel lines intersect.

After Lobachevsky put forward this cognition that subverted common sense, he was opposed and questioned by all the mathematicians at the time, and finally died in frustration.

Ironically, 12 years after Lobachevsky's death, this theory was finally proven.

Four days later, after Shan Peng settled Xiao Wanyi, he said earnestly at the airport:

"Sister, I am almost 40 years old, and I have experienced many things,
Compared with the achievements of various Fields Medal winners in the field of mathematics, there is a big gap, let alone those double-prize winners.

However, you and Zhou Yi are both very talented people I have met. I hope you will not be trapped by love and study mathematics well. The order of appearance in a person's life is actually very important.

If there are many people who really show up at another time, the ending may be really different.

However, I want to tell you that our life is like this. Birth is not at the right time, love is not at the right time, and wherever we go, there are definite numbers.

I hope you can grow in all aspects in the teacher's college. "

Xiao Wanyi said:
"Thank you, sister Shan, for your enlightenment these two days. I'm already much better. At least I have a definite goal to do, and I can let him go for the time being."

"Well, you're a smart man, I hope I can hear good news from you in three years' time."

Shan Peng said.

"Bon Voyage."

At this moment in China, Liu Qingfeng has come to Zhou Yi's office and is talking with Zhou Yi.

All six of Zhou Yi's apprentices are here. The reason why he didn't drive them away is that Zhou Yi wanted to let them know how much wealth mathematics can bring.

Top number theory experts turning to artificial intelligence, once successful, will be a groundbreaking development.

Just like Academician E Weinan.

"Professor Zhou, long time no see. If I had known Professor Zhou that you had achieved such an achievement, I should have raised the price directly. I have invited you to join Xunfei with an annual salary of tens of millions plus shares."

Liu Qingfeng said very enthusiastically, the regret on his face was beyond words.

Zhou Yi shook hands with Liu Qingfeng and said:
"Then I might really go. I was really poor at the time. Fortunately, Teacher Qiu applied for a scholarship for me, and Yuda University also gave me a lot of bonuses. Otherwise, I might have worked in a big company for two years before applying. Baoyan."

When Liu Qingfeng heard this, his back teeth were almost crushed, and his intestines were green with regret.

With a little more courage at the beginning, Xunfei may now be the strongest artificial intelligence company in the world.

Where would it be like now.

Zijie, Ari, Penguin, Qiandu, and Huawei are all ahead of their Xunfei in the field of artificial intelligence.

"What we want this time is to use speech recognition to make major breakthroughs in the three aspects of Internet of Vehicles, home appliances, and garbage collection."

Liu Qingfeng said enthusiastically.

Zhou Yi said:

"The three projects will take a lot of time, so we have to proceed step by step, and first determine a main direction."

Smart home appliances, furniture, Internet of Vehicles and smart garbage collection, although the theories are somewhat the same, there are also differences.
Zhou Yi must guide his apprentices step by step. When he brings out three master-level apprentices, the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study will have a reserve of talents.

Liu Qingfeng said:
"How about smart home appliances and furniture first? This market is quite large, especially the trade policy of the Great Xia Kingdom, which covers a very wide range, not only domestically, but also overseas."

Zhou Yi said:

"Then let's do this first, but I only sell patents, and you are responsible for the rest."

Liu Qingfeng said:
"Okay, let me briefly introduce the prospect and market value estimation of this direction to Professor Zhou.

In recent years, with the rise of global trade protectionism, there have been more and more trade frictions, especially in the network communication technology used in smart home appliances. Foreign technical standards are constantly updated.
It has had a considerable impact on the export of my country's smart home appliance industry.According to the latest report released by the international management consulting firm Kearney,
In 2020, the overall scale of global smart home appliances has reached 600 billion yuan, and it is expected to grow to 2030 billion yuan in 4. We must get a share of the market inside. "

Zhou Yi cursed secretly when he heard this, it really is a profiteering industry, as long as anyone who buys a house will buy appliances, 4000 billion yuan, converted into RMB, close to 3 trillion.

A very scary number.

No wonder this Liu Qingfeng was so caring, he couldn't pick up money so quickly with a sack.

The six apprentices in the office are already staring at their eyes, an unimaginable wealth, and a hundred generations of people may not be able to spend this money.

Liu Qingfeng continued:
"Now with the birth of Professor Zhou's Zhou's Geometry, many technology companies around the world are already researching it, not only companies like BAT, so they will all be our competitors when the time comes, and we will be successful if we can get a share."

Zhou Yi could not deny this, saying:
"Large companies like BAT and Warwick have terrific reserves of PhDs in mathematics.

In the past 18 years, these companies have made great efforts to recruit PhDs in mathematics. Now, it may show an explosive development. "

Liu Qingfeng said:
"To be honest, I also avoid taboos. Compared with foreign countries, our talents are much worse. The world's most influential artificial intelligence scholars released by Shuimu University,
Among the first 2000 people, one-third are Chinese, two-thirds of the Chinese are in the ugly country, and a little more than one-third are in the country.

This talent list selects 20 subfields of artificial intelligence such as classic artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, and robotics.

Each subfield selects 100 top talents, so there are a total of 2000 person-times, which can be regarded as the list of 2000 people in the field of artificial intelligence on earth. "

Zhou Yi looked embarrassed, thinking that the domestic artificial intelligence industry was good, but Zhou Yi was used to the No.2 seat.

Zhou Yi paid little attention to the list of Shuimu University. Zhou Yi has always been concerned about mathematics, and this is the first time I have heard of it.

"It's okay, we can catch up, and the talents will find a way to get them back."

Zhou Yi said,

"After all, when I won the Sloan Research Award, I made an appointment with several winners in the field of artificial intelligence, and I will join the Yuzhou Advanced Research Institute at that time.
At that time, by cooperating with my apprentices, I can build a top team. "

Liu Qingfeng knew that Zhou Yi was preparing for the Yuzhou Advanced Research Institute, but he didn't expect that it had already been planned in advance.

And the few apprentices who studied with him will definitely be able to enter the 2000 list in the future.

Zhou Yi continued:

"They are all from Shuimu University. I invited them personally, and they should return to China. Of course, there are also talents from other universities. Then I will not be able to find them."

Liu Qingfeng said:
"Among the list of 2000 people, more than 1100 people are from Ugly Country in terms of nationality. There are only more than 200 people from Great Xia Country, followed by Ying Country and Germany.

Yingguo and Germany are old and powerful countries, and it is very rare for us to be able to do so. "

Zhou Yi said:

"Okay, Chinese talents are actually resources. If you use them well, you can invite them back to China. Believe in them and our future.
Although the ugly country is extremely strong, we are also making steady progress. Let’s talk about smart home appliances. We must at least get a share of the big profits. "

Liu Qingfeng said:
"Actually, there is still a long way to go. Unless there is a breakthrough in key technologies, European and American countries previously had a first-mover advantage in the field of patents and other intellectual property rights.

Our smart home appliances can only meet the quality standards of European and American companies through the introduction of foreign advanced technology, but the core intellectual property rights are still in the hands of foreign companies.

For example, the wireless communication technology used by smart home appliances is mainly in the hands of companies such as Gaotong, Nokia, and Ericsson in European and American countries. Every time a smart home appliance is sold, a patent fee must be paid.

Under this model of introducing foreign advanced technology, our smart home appliance companies are very vulnerable to competition in the international market.

For example, the revocation of intellectual property authorization and the initiation of international litigation have greatly weakened market competitiveness. "

Zhou Yi asked:

"Infinite communication technology!?"

Liu Qingfeng didn't know why Zhouyi's tone changed, so he said honestly:

"That's right."

"It's easy to handle. Is this a thing? It's not a thing."

Zhou Yi said.

Meow, this period of time happened to help Aerospace J research communication technology, I didn't expect that you Xunfei came to the door first.

It's really a coincidence, isn't it.

Liu Qingfeng:? ? ? .

Although we know from the above people that you have made great achievements in power grid and asphalt, but this is a new direction,
But Liu Qingfeng thought of the scientific research assistant APP, and immediately said that Zhou Yi is also qualified to say this.

If those companies in Ugly Country put all their efforts into development, they would be able to produce such a software. The scientific research assistant was developed by Zhou Yi alone with a group of graduate students from Chongqing University.

That's pretty telling.

Zhou Yi said:

"I don't mind, just send me a copy of your information. In addition, I have another request. The headquarters of smart home appliances must be moved to Yuzhou, and the tax is paid by the Yuzhou government.

Otherwise, I will directly contact other companies. I believe many home appliance companies are willing to do so. "

The Yuzhou government strongly supports itself in establishing the Yuzhou Advanced Research Institute, and Zhou Yi will definitely reciprocate.

In the future, no matter how much market share smart home appliances can seize, there will always be a considerable amount of tax paid.

At least more money than they are investing now.

Liu Qingfeng said:
"Hey, in fact, we want to keep the headquarters in Huizhou, but Professor Zhou said, so let's do this. In the future, the headquarters of the direction of cooperation with Professor Zhou will be settled in Yuzhou."

Zhou Yi said:

"Well, I will let the people over there contact you. I suggest that the address be closer to Yuzhou Advanced Research Institute."

Liu Qingfeng said:
"Okay, then it's settled, I'll have my assistant bring you the materials."

Zhou Yi said:

"Okay, let's start with the direction of smart home appliances. I will contact those people from abroad to come back early. At that time, I will form a top-level team of 7-8 people. I will lead the team. Your team will be responsible for the programs outside the core."

"Okay, before tonight, we will send you all the materials in this regard. Also, can you tell us which talents are from abroad?"

Zhou Yi said:

"They are all talents who went out of Mizuki University at the beginning. I think they have studied abroad and returned to China, but following me to do projects can also learn better things than abroad. There is no need to go abroad. I will contact the president of Mizuki University. Get in touch with them yourself."

"One is Chen Danqi, who was born in the Yao class of Shuimu University, and the other two are also Sloan Research Award winners Fang Fei and Gu Quanquan. Including my three apprentices, there are seven people in total. They are almost the same."

Zhou Yi still explained.

Liu Qingfeng understood the gold content when he heard Chen Danqi.

Chen Danqi is an undergraduate from Shuimu University and a Ph.D. from Stanford University.

A student of Christopher Manning, a master of natural language processing, Chen Danqi joined the Princeton NLP group in 19 years, and the most famous algorithm SyntaxNet was developed by Chen Danqi and his mentor.
Known as the world's most accurate natural language parser.

With such a top talent joining, coupled with Zhou Yi's level, Liu Qingfeng has great confidence.

After Liu Qingfeng left, Zhou Yi looked at the six apprentices and said:
"Come on, learn mathematics well, you can do anything, and the Dao points out that the only truth in the universe is the mathematics you have learned."

Today's scene has a great impact on them, even an indelible impression.

The market share of 3 billion is scary when you think about it.
Eat one percent, it is 300 billion RMB.

If you eat more of the market and easily break through [-] billion, how many domestic companies have broken [-] billion.

For a moment, the determination of the three people who originally wanted to work in the field of pure numbers seemed to be dismembered in front of money.

Shen Yiyu, Zhang Dugang, and Zheng Keyu have mixed feelings in their hearts, and they are extremely entangled. How should they choose?
Continue to learn mathematics to pursue dreams and strive for the Philippine Award;
Or choose to finish with a Ph. D., follow Zhou Yi to do artificial intelligence, earn a sum of money to realize the freedom of wealth, and live a life of drunkenness, dreaminess, luxury, and singing every night?

This choice is very difficult, and every choice affects their future.

Dreams and reality, the difference between eating steamed buns or big fish and meat every day.

Living in an apartment is the difference between a large river view villa and a large sea view villa.

Zhou Yi said at this time:
"Shen Yiyu, Zheng Keyu, Zhang Dugang, if you three want to graduate with a Ph.D. and engage in artificial intelligence with me, I don't force each of you to choose, just follow your heart."

The three of them have a good foundation in mathematics, and they were all taught by Zhou Yi. It must be easy to switch to artificial intelligence, but Zhou Yi still hopes that someone will not be corrupted by money.

Follow him to pursue the supreme avenue of mathematics.

Zheng Keyu said:
"Teacher, can we think about it for a few more days? The temptation is too great, and I'm almost 30 years old. I won't be able to make great mathematical achievements in the future, and I will eventually apply it."

Shen Yiyu and Zhang Dugang were also very hesitant, and said:

"We also want to think about it for a few more days."

Zhou Yi said:

"No problem, just don't regret it!"
