Super Copy of Great Power Technology

This time, Qiao Ruida plans to completely rely on his own intelligence, starting from self-developed instruction sets, designing IP cores, drawing design drawings, and developing an AI processor specifically for running artificial intelligence programs. Compared with directly copying the results of future generations, developing a chip from scratch is obviously much more difficult and takes longer, but in order to test the results of his four years of undergraduate study and to write an excellent graduation thesis, it is worth spending several months to develop such an AI chip.

After the school winter vacation, Qiao Ruida spent most of his time writing the instruction set for the new processor. Traditional processors, whether X86, ARM, or the newly emerging RISC-V, their instruction sets are developed and maintained by a large team. It is not easy for Qiao Ruida to develop a mature, stable, and compatible instruction set for existing computer systems on his own. Qiao Ruida had to start from scratch, absorbing knowledge and experience from the existing processor instruction sets, and then customized his own instruction set according to the needs of the AI ​​processor. Although the progress is slow, it is moving forward steadily. I believe it is only a matter of time to get the full set of instruction sets.

However, as the Spring Festival approached, there were more and more summary meetings in the company, and various banquets and social events also came one after another. Qiao Ruida had to stop his research and give priority to company affairs.

The past 2013 was undoubtedly a year of continuous expansion and rapid development for the Ruida Group. Ruida Aerospace and Ruida Pharmaceuticals were established successively, and both companies have achieved good research and development results, which can be regarded as a good start. Ruida Aerospace has successfully developed the Suzaku rocket and the heavy Suzaku rocket, and the rocket recovery technology has become increasingly mature. The launched navigation and communication satellites have begun to be put into commercial use, allowing the autonomous driving function of Ruida Automobile to be turned on at any time, and the level of intelligence has been taken to a higher level. The targeted drug gastric cancer killer developed by Ruida Pharmaceuticals has also entered the clinical trial stage. Once it passes the test and is mass-produced and sold, its profitability cannot be underestimated.

Old members of the Ruida Group, Ruida Network Company, Ruida Technology Company, Rockchip Fab, Ruida Electronics Factory, and Shengshi Foreign Trade Company, have also made great progress in the past year, with a wider business coverage, higher turnover, and higher profitability. Take the listed company Ruida Network as an example. Its annual turnover in 2013 doubled compared with 2012, its profit increased by 210%, and its stock price more than doubled. If nothing unexpected happens, after the annual report is released, a large dividend will be distributed to shareholders, and then there will be another wave of stockholders' carnival. Of course, Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing, as major shareholders of Ruida Network Company, will also receive a lot of dividends.

On this day, Qiao Ruida was in his office on the top floor of Ruida Building, reviewing the annual reports submitted by the companies below. Duan Zhifeng from the Logistics Department knocked on the door and walked in, holding a document.

"Mr. Qiao, this is the plan for the company's annual meeting this year. Please take a look and see if there is anything that needs to be modified." Duan Zhifeng placed the document in front of Qiao Ruida and said respectfully.

"Oh, is this year's annual meeting going to be held again? Time flies so fast. Wow, the number of employees of our group working in Beijing has exceeded 90,000? If there are more, I'm afraid even the Bird's Nest won't be able to accommodate them all!" Qiao Ruida picked up the document and flipped through two pages casually, sighing.

"Yes, Mr. Qiao. The main offices of the newly established Ruida Aerospace and Ruida Pharmaceutical are both located in Beijing, which has added a lot of employees to our group. In addition, the existing companies are also growing and developing, and the number of employees is increasing day by day. The number of 90,000 only counts the number of employees in the urban area of ​​Beijing. The couriers and store clerks in the suburbs of Beijing are not included."

"Ninety thousand employees. This is the number of employees in Beijing alone. If we count the total number of employees in all companies and factories under the Ruida Group, there must be at least several hundred thousand, right?"

"Yes, according to statistics from our logistics department, the number of formal employees under the Ruida Group has exceeded 42. This includes 12 couriers, 17 factory workers, and more than 5 researchers. It can be said that our Ruida Group has completely grown up, with more and more employees and families relying on the group for their livelihood."

Qiao Ruida nodded and said, "These 40 employees are the backbone of the company, the driving force for progress, and also the pressure. You and I, as company leaders, are responsible for their livelihoods and their future. We should hold a good annual meeting, and we don't mind spending more money. We should give preferential year-end bonuses, make the prizes for the lucky draw richer, and add a few Roster sports cars as special prizes. Everyone has worked hard for a year, and now it's the end of the year, it's time to have some fun."

"Okay, Mr. Qiao, I'll take the plan back and revise it."

After seeing Duan Zhifeng off, Qiao Ruida walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with a cup of hot tea. He looked at the setting sun outside and the office workers rushing home from get off work, and couldn't help falling into deep thought.

After his rebirth, Qiao Ruida took the entrance exam to Peking University, pursued his girlfriend, and made up for the regrets of his previous life; he started a company and established a business, and now he is considered successful. Qiao Ruida needs to think carefully about what to do next. Should he be a rich man and spend the rest of his life in peace and stability, or use the golden finger to continue to develop and expand the Ruida Group, lead the entire China, and embark on the road of technological revival. Even further, lead the entire human race into the interstellar era, and start a legend belonging to mankind in the vast universe.

At this time, Du Qingqing pushed the door open and walked in, saying, "Husband, what are you thinking about standing by the window? It's been a long time since you got off work, why don't you go home?"

"Okay, I'll be right back, wife." Qiao Ruida withdrew his thoughts, put down the teacup, followed Du Qingqing, left the office, and took the elevator downstairs.

"Hubby, today is the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, the Little New Year. Shall we buy some stuffing and make dumplings?"

"Would it be too much trouble to make them myself? Or should I just buy frozen dumplings?"

"Frozen dumplings are not as delicious as the ones you make yourself, and they lack the sense of ritual. I just talked to Xiaoxue on the phone. She will call her two best friends to go to the courtyard together to make dumplings for the Little New Year. With so many people around, making dumplings won't be a big deal."

"Okay, whatever you say. But I remember Xiaoxue doesn't know how to make dumplings. As for her two best friends, I'm not sure if they can make them. Don't let the two of us make dumplings for five people. That would be miserable."

The two drove away from the Ruida headquarters and stopped by a comprehensive supermarket to shop around, planning to buy some flour, vegetables and meat for making dumplings. Today is the Little New Year, and there is a common custom of making dumplings in the northern region. The supermarket has prepared ready-made dumpling skins and various mixed fillings for some lazy people. Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing didn't want to bother mixing the dough and fillings themselves, so they simply bought a large bag of dumpling skins and a few of each filling. It was worth spending a little more money for this.

When they returned to the courtyard, Du Qingqing and her two best friends were already there. Du Qingqing carried the dumpling wrappers and stuffings, and called the girls to the kitchen to make dumplings. Qiao Ruida changed into home clothes, washed her hands, and went over to help. Fortunately, the worst situation of two people making dumplings and five people eating did not happen. One of Qiao Ruixue's two best friends knew how to make dumplings, and she was not slow. Qiao Ruixue and another best friend also learned how to make dumplings. Although their skills were poor, the dumplings they made were strange in shape, and they were surprisingly slow, but they should have no problem making enough for themselves.

An hour later, all the dumplings were wrapped and put into the pot to cook. The dumplings made by the two novices broke a little, but those made by others were fine.

"The dumplings I make myself taste different, they are so delicious!" Qiao Ruixue exclaimed while eating dumplings.

"Few of the dumplings you eat are made by you. Those with broken skins, no fillings, and weird shapes are the ones you made. Do you want me to pick them out and let you taste them?" Qiao Ruida deliberately exposed her sister by telling her the truth.

Qiao Ruixue rolled her eyes and said, "This is my first time making dumplings. It's good enough that I can put the stuffing in. You are still picky." "Yeah, Xiaoxue's dumplings were not very good at the beginning, but the ones she made later were all decent." Du Qingqing said something fair for Qiao Ruixue.

The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests. After the meal, Qiao Ruixue took her two besties to the audio-visual entertainment room to sing karaoke. Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing, after cleaning up the table, watched soap operas together. Qiao Ruida had no interest in these boring and long urban emotional TV dramas, but Du Qingqing liked them, so in order to accompany his girlfriend, he had to watch them with reluctance.

After the Little New Year, the Spring Festival is just around the corner, and the day for the annual meeting of Ruida Group is coming soon. However, before attending the annual meeting, all the employees of Ruida Group received a surprise. Their year-end bonuses for this year were issued. Early in the morning, the company headquarters was filled with a festive atmosphere. When people met, they no longer asked "Good morning" or "Have you eaten?" Instead, they asked "How much did you get?"

"Hey, Lao Wang, how much was your year-end bonus?"

"It's just over 100,000, barely middle class."

"No way, you, an ordinary clerk, get a year-end bonus of more than 100,000 yuan, why do I, a director, only get 50,000 yuan?"

"I have been a veteran employee of the company for two and a half years. I have never made any mistakes in my daily work. It is not normal for me to receive a year-end bonus of more than 100,000 yuan. On the other hand, you have only been in the company for six months, and you can get a year-end bonus of 50,000 yuan, which is already very good."

"Then how many people in our company have the highest year-end bonuses?"

"Some technical backbones receive year-end bonuses of 200,000 or 300,000 yuan. Some company executives and technical experts hold a small amount of shares in Reda Network. This year's dividends start at at least one million yuan, which is really enviable."

"Hey, you two, what are you talking about? Why are you so engrossed? Stop talking. Hurry up and pack your things, go downstairs and take the bus to the Bird's Nest to attend the annual meeting."

"Okay, manager, let's get going. This is my first time attending the company's annual meeting. I heard that I can see many big stars performing on stage. Is that true?"

"Of course. Our company is very wealthy. We give out billions of yuan in year-end bonuses. We only spend a few dollars to invite some celebrities to perform at the annual meeting. Of course, the company will not be stingy. Let me tell you, there will be a lottery at the annual meeting. As long as you are lucky enough and win the grand prize, the reward will not be less than your year-end bonus."

"Is this true? It's just a lucky draw at the annual meeting. How can it give out prizes worth tens of thousands?"

"That's just your narrow-mindedness. For our company, prizes worth tens of thousands of dollars are nothing. When we held our annual meeting last year, the grand prize was a sports car worth more than one million dollars. That was really crazy."

"A sports car worth a million is a prize. Is that too exaggerated? If I could win a sports car worth a million, I would immediately use the cash to buy a house."

Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing, hand in hand, walked through the employees waiting to board the bus and also heard the discussion. Du Qingqing asked curiously, "Husband, did the company really give out tens of billions of yuan in year-end bonuses this year?"

"About the same. The total amount of year-end bonuses is 52.7 billion. The year-end bonuses received by each employee vary, depending on their years of service, job position, and contribution to the company, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of millions."

"More than 5 billion yuan was sent out just like that. It would have been unthinkable two years ago."

"Things are different now. The scale of the Ruida Group has expanded more than tenfold, and its business scope and profitability are also expanding rapidly. For the Ruida Group today, it is very easy to take out the 5 billion yuan year-end bonus."

Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing got in the Ruida MPV, turned on the smart driving function, and headed straight for the Bird's Nest. Perhaps because it was close to the end of the year, the number of vehicles and pedestrians on the roads in Beijing had decreased significantly. They had not experienced any traffic jams along the way, which was a bit difficult to adapt to for a while.

When the two entered the Bird's Nest, almost half of the people in the huge venue were already seated. It was so densely packed that there was no end in sight.

"It is said that when there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit. Today, I finally saw what it looks like when tens of thousands of people gather together. Has our Ruida Group grown to this extent? Only the employees in the Beijing area can fill all the seats in the Bird's Nest?"

"About the same. There are about 91000 employees attending the annual meeting today. And the entire Bird's Nest has only seats. Even if all the employees are seated, there will be only a few seats left."

"Hey, that little girl, isn't she Xiao Nannan? I didn't expect Sister Liu to bring her daughter here too. Let's go over and say hello. I haven't seen Xiao Nannan for a long time and I miss her a lot." Seeing Liu Jiayu and Xiao Nannan, Du Qingqing took Qiao Ruida and walked over directly. (End of this chapter)
