Super Copy of Great Power Technology

After mastering the content, the next step is to quickly process the documents, circle what needs to be reviewed, annotate what needs to be annotated, sign what needs to be signed, and send back for redoing if there are any problems. With full firepower, the documents piled on the desk were all processed in just over an hour. Qiao Ruida opened the door, called the secretary assistant, and moved the processed documents out, and then notified the senior management of each department and branch to come to the headquarters for a meeting.

An hour later, all the senior executives of the Ruida Group in Beijing rushed to the conference room on the top floor of the Ruida Building to attend the last meeting of 2014. Even the senior executives who were not in Beijing participated in the meeting through video links and holographic projections.

At the beginning of the meeting, Qiao Ruida first gave some opening remarks to encourage everyone, and then the heads of each branch spoke in turn and made summary reports for the past year. In the past 2014, all branches under Ruida Group have achieved remarkable results, with a rapid increase in the number of employees, nearly doubling of turnover, and a growth of 30% to 300% in profits. In terms of new product research and development, each company has also achieved remarkable results, such as Ruida Aerospace's space shuttle, Ruida Pharmaceutical's DDAT polymer materials, and gastric cancer targeted drugs, which are all innovative products. Once launched, they have a monopoly position in the market and considerable profits.

In the past year, Ruida Technology's mobile phones and tablets, and Ruida Automobile's new energy vehicles have been actively deployed in overseas markets and achieved impressive sales. Its overseas sales have reached more than half of its domestic sales, and it has strong potential and rapid growth, and the future is promising. This move has also increased the world's reputation of the Ruida brand and laid a good foundation for the overseas expansion of Ruida's series of products.

Among all the branches of Ruida Group, not all of them are developing rapidly. There is one company that is in a state of stagnation, which is Ruida Electronics Factory. Unlike other Ruida-related companies that have various high-tech products, Ruida Electronics Factory is a pure electronic OEM factory with some technical content, but not high. It is located in Decheng City, an inland N-line city, and its development potential is very limited. Since the completion of the new plant of Ruida Electronics Factory at the beginning of this year and the development of the number of workers to 50,000, the scale of the company has almost reached its limit. Next, we can only work hard to reduce costs, increase efficiency and improve production capacity. However, in the past two years, the domestic wage level has increased rapidly, and the employment cost of Ruida Electronics Factory has been repeatedly increased, and all efforts have been wasted. As a result, Ruida Electronics Factory's turnover this year has increased, but its profits have dropped sharply, becoming the most backward one among the Ruida-related companies.

After listening to the report made by Zhao Yulong, the director of Ruida Electronics Factory, Qiao Ruida frowned and asked, "Director Zhao has almost finished introducing the situation of Ruida Electronics Factory. Let's talk about it. Is there any way to help Ruida Electronics Factory get rid of its current predicament?"

"Since the OEM business of electronic products undertaken from outside is not very profitable, we should simply give up OEM business and focus on the production of our own products. The redundant workers can be laid off, so as to maximize profits."

"Layoffs are unacceptable. Decheng is the hometown of our CEO Qiao and the origin of our group. When we opened the Ruida Electronics Factory, we wanted to help Decheng solve the employment problems of some citizens. Now the Ruida Electronics Factory is just developing a little slowly, but it is not losing money. How can we lay off employees casually?"

"In the foreseeable future, workers' wages will certainly increase year by year. Even if the price of electronic products can increase, it will be very limited. If Ruida Electronics Factory maintains its current operating mode, the prospects will not be very optimistic."

"I suggest that Ruida Electronics Factory work hard to improve the automation of its production lines. If industrial robots can be used, they should be used to reduce the number of workers on each production line and increase per capita production capacity. If they are able to build an unmanned factory, that would be even better. This is the direction of future industrial development. One-time investment will bring long-term benefits."

"I remember that there is a robot project in our Ruida Research Institute that has been advancing. I don't know how far the research and development has progressed and whether it can replace industrial workers and complete the production of electronic products."

"Let me explain. The research and development direction of our institute's robot research and development team is humanoid robots, not industrial robots. At present, the intelligent robots developed by their team can already walk upright and complete some housework such as sweeping, mopping, cooking, and cooking. They can also take care of the elderly and help children with their homework. The only problem is that the cost of this robot is a bit high, one unit costs millions, and ordinary families simply cannot afford it."

"Since it can do housework, it should be no problem to put it on the production line to produce mobile phones. If the cost is high, we can reduce some of the configurations. Since it is a robot on the production line, it is completely unnecessary to keep the legs. Just make a few wheels so that it can move freely. This alone can save at least a quarter of the cost. There are also bionic skin, expression simulation, and battery components. All of them are not needed. Just delete them, which can save a lot of cost."

"Using robots to replace human workers is a major trend in the future, which I understand. But what should we do with the replaced workers? Should we lay them off directly? That would go against the original intention of establishing the Ruida Electronics Factory."

"We don't necessarily have to lay them off. We can train them to learn some techniques such as equipment maintenance, product testing and repair, and transfer them to other positions. As long as the automation level of the production line is improved, we can continue to expand the factory scale and install more production lines. With the same number of workers, the production capacity can be increased by seven or eight times, so the factory efficiency will naturally be improved."

Zhao Yulong, the director of Ruida Electronics Factory, attended the meeting via video link. At this time, his 3D projection was holding a small notebook, recording all the opinions and suggestions put forward by everyone as a reference for the future development of the electronics factory.

After Zhao Yulong, several smaller factory managers under the Ruida Group also made business reports. These factories were acquired by the Ruida Group in order to ensure the supply of core components and core raw materials. The factories are located all over the country. After being acquired by the Ruida Group, they received certain financial and technical support, and their products have stable sales channels. Most of them have good benefits, and at least they have no problem maintaining their own good operation.

Qiao Ruida concluded at the end of the meeting: "Very good. In the past year, our Ruida Group has once again achieved great development. The turnover has tripled and the profit has increased by more than 200%. This is inseparable from the joint efforts of everyone. I am here to say thank you to everyone on my own behalf. In order to thank everyone for their efforts, I decided to increase the year-end bonus this year. The year-end bonus of everyone present will be at least 50% higher than last year. For those who have made outstanding contributions, it is not uncommon for the year-end bonus to double or triple." At this point, there was a warm applause in the conference room. In today's society, some bosses are very eloquent. As soon as the meeting starts, they like to paint a pie in the sky for their employees and subordinates, relying on some beautiful future, and promises that they don't know whether they can be fulfilled, to fool employees to work hard for them. Qiao Ruida is a science student. He thinks he is not very eloquent, but he also has his own way to motivate employees and subordinates to work hard. That is to spend money, and spend more and more money. As the saying goes, people are in a hurry, but they are just looking for a few pieces of silver. But these few pieces of silver can solve all kinds of panic in the world. As long as employees can see the real rewards, the red banknotes and the bright financial prospects, they will be more loyal than anyone else and work harder than anyone else.

"In the coming 2015, the development focus of our group will shift to the energy and aerospace fields. Controlled nuclear fusion, commercial space station, space tourism, and manned lunar landing, these four projects will be launched simultaneously and promoted comprehensively. We will strive to complete all projects within one year and push our Ruida Group forward again.

In order to achieve this goal, I plan to increase investment in scientific research again, investing 50% of the company's profits this year. I will recruit more scientific research talents in related fields, set up a special R&D team, and make full efforts in terms of funds, manpower and material resources.

Of course, I will not move the existing scientific research team in Ruida Research Institute, and I will provide all the scientific research funds. Our Ruida Group needs to develop new businesses, but we cannot give up old businesses. We must continue to invest in existing advantageous areas and develop steadily. These existing projects are the foundation of our Ruida Group and the source of funds. No matter what time it is, we cannot give up easily. Only by laying a solid foundation can we continue to exert our strength and build skyscrapers.

I have repeatedly emphasized in public that our Ruida Group is a high-tech company that is always at the forefront of human technology. For today's Earth, what is considered the forefront of technology is controlled nuclear fusion, artificial intelligence, aerospace technology, and human genetic engineering. As you can see, our Ruida Group has dabbled in these fields and has made considerable achievements.

At the beginning of the company's establishment, I set the goal of climbing the peak of science and technology for the company, rather than blindly pursuing profits. In the past four years, many people have persuaded me to do real estate, saying that building houses on land is a sure win, with considerable profits, far more stable, fast and profitable than investing in scientific research. There are also many companies and institutions that invite our company to enter the financial field and promote the listing of subsidiaries to cut the leeks of shareholders, saying that buying low and selling high is profitable without any investment. But these proposals were decisively rejected by me. Is it because these industries are not profitable? Of course not. In the past few years, housing prices have skyrocketed continuously. How can real estate not make money? If all the subsidiaries of our group are listed, my personal wealth will at least skyrocket four or five times, and it will not be a problem to become the world's richest man.

Since these two projects are so profitable, why should I refuse? The reason is simple. These two projects are not in line with the tone of our company. As I have emphasized, our Ruida Group is a high-tech enterprise. We should only immerse ourselves in scientific research, develop new technologies and products, and lead mankind to the stars and the sea. Once our company gets involved in the real estate and financial fields and gets used to making quick money, who would be willing to bury their heads in scientific research?

As a young man from an ordinary family, I like money very much and I like to make money, but a gentleman should earn money in a proper way, not by ill-gotten gains, and should avoid doing things that harm others and benefit oneself. I will do scientific research and sell products in a down-to-earth manner, and I will spend the money I earn in a down-to-earth manner.

Well, that's all I have to say. Let's end the meeting here today!"

The company's affairs were arranged properly, and the next day, Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing returned to the Peking University campus. After parting with his girlfriend, Qiao Ruida went to the chip laboratory and found his mentor, Academician Wang Chengye, to cancel his leave. It happened that his senior brother Zhou Wanda was there. He used to be an admissions teacher and recruited Qiao Ruida, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, to join Peking University. Later, he became Qiao Ruida's class teacher and now he is Qiao Ruida's senior brother. The relationship between the two is very close, and there is no need to worry about anything when joking.

"Hey, isn't this Junior Brother Qiao? What a rare guest. This semester is almost over, Junior Brother Qiao, you haven't come to the lab many times, right?"

Facing Brother Zhou's teasing, Qiao Ruida smiled awkwardly and said helplessly: "I can't help it. Who asked me to run such a large group company? There are too many affairs to go around. But my research projects have been progressing, and I have published many papers. The semester goals set by the teacher for me have been exceeded."

At this time, Academician Wang roughly glanced over a quantum computing paper that Qiao Ruida had just submitted, nodded approvingly, and said, "I have accepted hundreds of students over the years. In terms of scientific research ability, Qiao Ruida, you can rank first. It's a pity that you have to distract yourself from running a company and can't concentrate on scientific research. Otherwise, you will have a great chance of becoming a technological giant like Newton and Einstein. This quantum computing paper is very well written, with bold ideas and broad thinking. According to the method you proposed, using graphene chips as the carrier of quantum computing may really solve the anti-interference problem of quantum computing."

Qiao Ruida raised his hand, scratched his scalp, and said a little embarrassedly: "Haha, teacher, you are too kind. I know my own strengths and weaknesses. I have no hope of becoming a great man like Newton or Einstein. The little achievements I have made now are just a small step forward based on the foundation of my predecessors. Teacher, if you think this paper is okay, I will submit it."

"Don't worry. I don't know much about quantum computing, but there is a team in our school that is developing quantum computers. I will send your paper to them later. We can sit down together and discuss it when we have time. Maybe we can come up with some different ideas." (End of this chapter)
