Top of the big era

At noon, Zhou Buqi had something to do temporarily, so he left Sun Wanran in Japan and asked her to handle the real estate affairs. The three little stars didn't bring them either, so they continued to play here.

He brought Feng Muer back to Beijing.

The hometown was on fire, and a very annoying news came - Baidu came to the door and proposed a product idea of ​​"Baidu Helo".

Ziweixing is promoting the "Magic Reform Helo Project". It stands to reason that Baidu's active participation is a good thing.

However, this plan is still in the confidential stage of internal demonstration.

Whether it will be successful or not, there is no internal confidence yet.

How did Baidu know?

Such a highly confidential strategic plan was leaked? Known by outsiders? Or maybe Zhang Hongguang, the vice president of the research institute, jumped to Baidu as CTO and gave him a big gift? Leaked Ziweixing's business secrets?

No matter which aspect it is, it cannot be tolerated!

If it is your own leak, it must be strictly investigated and severely dealt with!

If it was Zhang Hongguang who leaked the secret, it would be even more unbearable, and the only way is to see the court. Ziweixing generously chose to break up peacefully, and even bought back the options in his hand, which has shown the greatest sincerity. If so, Zhang Hongguang would not be grateful, it would be nothing.

On the plane, Zhou Buqi called Zhang Yiming and questioned him severely.

Zhang Yi was obviously calmer, "It shouldn't be a problem on our side. Only the top management of the group knows the plan to change Helo. Except for Fu Hongliang, most of them are above M6. These people are deeply tied to the company. Too likely to betray the interests of the company."

Zhou Buqi was dissatisfied with this answer, and said in a deep voice: "Maybe there is an omission in some link. Some important documents were seen by some ordinary employees during the transmission process. No matter how bad their secretary is, they may read the corresponding documents." document."

Zhang Yiming was silent for a while, and said slowly: "I am more confident. These are top-secret documents, and ordinary secretaries and staff members do not have permission to read them. If something goes wrong, I think it is more likely that Zhang Hongguang has a problem."

Zhou Buqi snorted coldly, "Shirk responsibility?"

Zhang Yiming said: "No, I just had a meeting with the executives, and I can basically make sure that we are all right."

"Seriously investigate!"

Zhou Buqi hung up the phone angrily, a little annoyed.

Also a little guilty.

Yes, the "Magic Reform Helo Plan" is an important commercial secret, and the documents will be stamped with a "confidential" red seal, and ordinary secretaries and administrative personnel are not qualified to read them.

Only a few people can, namely the secretary in the chairman's office.

Documents always have to be printed, copied, and distributed, right?

This process must be completed by the chairman's secretary, and now Ning Yaxian has gradually begun to take over the functions of "Board Secretary".

Ning Yaxian will definitely not leak the secret.

However, there are too many documents in the chairman's office, Ning Yaxian may not be able to do it alone, she also needs an assistant. Before that, this assistant was Wang Yaojin.

And now, Wang Yaojin has resigned.

What a coincidence!

Could it be that she leaked the secret?

Hurry up and call Ning Yaxian to inquire about this matter.

Ning Yaxian solemnly stated, "No, there will be no problem with me, I can assure you. Not to mention this kind of confidential documents, I will handle all the resolution documents of the decision-making committee personally, and I will not let the second secretary, The third secretary and the others will participate."

Zhou Buqi asked, "Is it possible that someone peeped at you after you finished the document? I still find it strange that Wang Yaojin resigned so abruptly."

"Are you too suspicious?" Ning Yaxian was angry and funny, "You don't have time to care about Wang Yaojin, but I have been paying attention to her. She has returned to Yucheng a long time ago and has started to work in her new position. Her family has The old man suddenly fell ill, so she resigned in a hurry, and it has nothing to do with business competition."

Zhou Buqi breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as there is no problem here, you have to shut it down in the office."

Ning Yaxian said: "Student Yiming just had a meeting, so I don't think it's our problem. The Zhang Hongguang who left the job, although he is also M6, but he is only the executive vice president of the research institute, and his job is technology. The 'Magic Reform Helo Project' is a strategic and operational work, and it is difficult for him to know about it."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "When encountering problems, the first is self-doubt, which can reduce mistakes."

Ning Yaxian said softly: "We received the cooperation news from Baidu in the morning, and I have been paying attention to it. I think... I don't think it should be our internal problem. Do you think Mr. Li is too smart? Since we recently Have you made accurate judgments in some of your public business practices?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It's impossible. Boss Li is a scientist. Let him identify technical problems. He may have the ability. The business vision may not be very good."

Ning Yaxian said: "Maybe it's a misunderstanding. If the secret is going to be leaked, maybe everyone in the country will know about it. At least giants like Ali and Penguin will get the letter, and at least the neighbors upstairs will be the first to come over." "Don't worry, wait until you get back."

Zhou Buqi felt much relieved, "Well, I'm on the plane, and I'll be at the company in two hours."

Ning Yaxian pursed her lips and said, "There's really no need to rush, you can spend a day or two more in Japan for investigation."

Zhou Buqi curled his lips and said, "There's nothing to investigate!"

"What's the matter?" Ning Yaxian was a little strange, "Didn't you say that you want to establish a research center for software development in Japan?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It's not worth it!"

Ning Yaxian said seriously: "Japan's software technology is very strong. I can see it when I worked in a Japanese company. Only the most high-end software is made by ourselves. Some small and small software are all Outsourced."

A big habit in Japan's software industry is outsourcing.

For example, NTT, the largest operator in Japan, is the largest software outsourcer. NTT does not develop its own software, but purchases it from outside. If you can't purchase it, write the document requirements yourself, and then hand it over to the software company.

The largest outsourcers are China and India.

Just by accepting software outsourcing orders from Japanese technology companies, China can obtain billions of dollars in foreign exchange income every year. This is also the reason why software engineering majors in domestic universities must learn Japanese.

On the one hand, people who study software are more aggressive. Learning Japanese is helpful for them to watch Japanese movies, and they have subjective initiative; The software architecture thinking of Japanese experts.

In this regard, the Japanese way of thinking is very strange. They would rather spend more money to outsource than do it themselves. Because they believe that writing documents is a white-collar job for "upper class" elites, and writing code is a blue-collar job for "dirty" code farmers.

Writing documents is writing software requirements, what functions and designs are required. If the software design is relatively complicated, a senior software engineer will write the software architecture clearly, and then hand it over to an outsourcing company.

The outsourcing company does not need to have a deep understanding of the software, just follow the instructions in the document and implement its functions one by one. It's a simple mental exercise.

Only those software with relatively high technical content, the big Japanese companies will do it themselves.

In Japan's software industry, there are two biggest directions, one is games and the other is embedded systems.

Not much to say about games, embedded systems are very powerful. For example, functional machine systems, microwave oven systems, washing machine systems, and game console systems are all embedded systems.

Different equipment requires different systems and different operating instructions.

This is a relatively high-end job.

Not to mention that it was only 2008, even ten years later, there is no real self-developed embedded operating system in China, until Huawei's Euler. In this field, Japan has a strong technological level.

Zhou Buqi said: "When did you work in a Japanese company? Ten years ago, right? At that time, Japan's overall IT environment and IT technology were far ahead of the domestic ones. Hehe, times have changed! Now, the domestic IT industry has surpassed Japan in many fields."

Ning Yaxian said curiously: "Well, you said before that we are better than Japan in terms of Internet technology. But isn't their software level very good?"

"The main reason is that the embedded technology level is very high."

"Any questions?"

"We don't need embedded technology now, and the Android system is also used on the mobile phone. Moreover, embedded technology will become more and more out of date, and in the future it will be the world of the Internet of Things."

"Internet of Things?"

Ning Yaxian didn't quite understand.

Zhou Buqi said: "Embedded systems are designed operating systems for microwave ovens, rice cookers, refrigerators, washing machines, TVs, desk lamps, MP3s, etc. Each device must have an operating system, and the development is cumbersome. The user experience is also not good. Just like the previous feature phones, different phones have different systems, which is inconvenient to operate.”

Ning Yaxian tentatively said: "You mean...you mean that in the future, these electrical equipment will change from a number of different embedded systems to a set of integrated systems like the great changes in the mobile phone industry? "

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, it is inevitable. Use an Internet of Things system to integrate all these devices, including door locks, curtains, and sweeping robots. Have you ever been to Bill Gates' home? If you have a chance, you can go and see it. Just like his home, it is purely computer-controlled. Through a terminal device and a system, all household appliances can be remotely controlled. At that time, the industry will usher in great changes, just like the iPhone. The changes in the mobile phone industry are the same. Japan’s current embedded technology is quite strong, but once the trend of the Internet of Things appears, no market, no matter how high-end technology is useless.”

Ning Yaxian seemed to have seen the future, and asked uncertainly, "Isn't it very far away?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It won't be too far away. In 15-20 years, this system of Internet of Everything should appear. By then, the control can be completed through mobile terminals or speaker terminals."

"Then do research institutes in Japan still do it?"

"I won't do it, I don't need it!"

Zhou Buqi only inspected for one morning, and he already came to a judgment.

The software research and development department of Microsoft Asia Research Institute is in Japan, but they were established many years ago. At that time, Japan's IT technology was far ahead of the country.

It will be different in the future.

Japan is growing slowly, or even standing still, while China is developing rapidly. In a few years, the entire IT industry will crush Japanese high-tech together.

There is no need to help Japan cultivate scientific and technological talents. Ziweixing has only one mission here, and that is to make money. With research and development funds invested, it is better to set up more research institutions in China and cooperate with more universities.
