America's Road to Fame

Chapter 244 Brain Tank Team
Originally, there was an artificial intelligence research and development center under the Siri company, but after the establishment of Meta Technology Company, this research and development center became independent and became the Meta research and development center. Now there are not only artificial intelligence research and development projects, but also cloud computing and Big data analysis and other projects.

Regarding cloud computing, Amazon's AWS and Google's cloud computing are the most successful in the United States. In addition, major companies such as Facebook, Microsoft, and IBM are also developing their own cloud products.

The cloud computing of the Meta Research Center is also the need of the company's Internet, just like their Twitter, HOLA, Siri and other apps. With the increase of users, they also need to plan ahead.

Small companies can use the cloud products of other large companies at will, but companies like Google, Amazon, and Facebook will definitely not trust their own data to third parties, especially Zoom, which William Chen invested in, will definitely need a lot of data in the future. As the most suitable Amazon AWS for this type of e-commerce, as a competitor, how can you use the other party's cloud products?
William Chen knows that now Ali has recruited Dr. Wang Jian to work on this project, so the Meta Research Center will also cooperate with Ali to carry out cloud computing research. William Chen even plans to persuade Boss Ma to separate Alibaba Cloud early, and then he make an investment.

Just like Ali, which is an e-commerce company, cloud computing is really important to them. The problem that Ali encounters now is that they engage in activities during Double 11. The short-term traffic increase is too large, but if there are really a lot of When adding servers, most of them will be vacant in normal times, causing waste. Therefore, with cloud computing, you can rent out excess storage and computing power in normal times, and allocate more resources when you are engaged in activities. is the right choice.

However, the research and development of Alibaba Cloud is not going well at present, because it consumes too many resources, and even caused great dissatisfaction in other departments of Alibaba, thinking that it is doing useless work, so Wang Jian's team is under great pressure. One of the reasons for being sure to convince Boss Ma.

Yes, like William Chen’s previous life, Boss Ma tried his best to insist on investing in cloud computing research and development, but that would put more pressure on the cloud computing team. If he became independent, William Chen could use himself The funds to support Alibaba Cloud, when the research and development is successful, Ali can also enjoy the results, which will be the best result.

William Chen knows how Alibaba Cloud will develop in the future. It can be said that this investment is also very cost-effective for him. With his own holdings, the companies he invests in Huaguo in the future will not need to develop their own. Cloud technology, just use Alibaba Cloud directly.

In this way, a dual configuration can be formed in which Huaguo uses Alibaba Cloud internally and Meta's cloud overseas.

In the project of the Meta R&D Center, William Chen is divided into three stages of technology research and development: short-term, mid-term and long-term. The short-term is big data analysis, the mid-term is cloud computing, and the long-term is artificial intelligence.

And big data and cloud computing are the foundation of artificial intelligence. The collection of these data can help the research and development of artificial intelligence.

As Internet + entertainment, big data analysis is also a very useful technology. For example, William Chen plans to make a global ranking of celebrity commercial value quantification, which requires a lot of data to be captured on the Internet. For example, a star, in public reports The number of appearances in the media, among which the media have different weights, can be seen the popularity of this star; at the same time, how many people follow this star on social media, and the consumption power of these people also has different weights, many similar When the data is combined, the commercial value of the star can be calculated, which can provide assistance for product endorsements and the production of film and television works.

The same is true for the sports industry. A player’s commercial value, physical and psychological condition, etc. can be used to draw conclusions from these data, and can also provide support for the formation of the game and the signing of the team.

It is precisely because of this that after the construction of the Meta big data center in Silicon Valley, William Chen still plans to build at least 15 big data centers around the world. Of course, this plan is not implemented all at once, and the construction will be divided into several phases. Because the iteration of the data center is also very fast, the technology built later must be more advanced.

At present, Erica, as her deputy, stays in the Meta technology company in Silicon Valley. During this period of time, her performance is also very competent, and she has handled all the matters arranged by Chen William.

But the only thing is that after she left the New York headquarters, William Chen really felt a little uncomfortable. Many times, he needed to communicate with each subordinate in person. Before that, it was handled by Erica. Things are in order.

And now William Chen is planning to build his own private team, which can also be called a think tank, after thinking about it for a period of time.This think tank will be somewhat similar to a family office, not only for the Meta Group, but also for all industries owned by William Chen. In his plan, every time he travels, he will have a team of 5-6 people around him. Including professionals in various fields, including legal, public relations, negotiation and other aspects.

In addition to this portable team, there is also a local team of more than 10 people to provide them with support. These people will not only receive materials and news from all William Chen's industries, but also directly communicate with dozens or hundreds of people from various fields. Experts and senior practitioners will contact each other. At the same time, they will connect with various consulting companies, visit each other's information database, respond to any consulting and investigation content proposed by William Chen, and will give a conclusion in the shortest possible time.

For example, William Chen is interested in the shipping industry, then the think tank team will consult relevant experts and give detailed information, including the current ranking of companies in the shipping industry and specific information on each company; if he intends to acquire, it will also include shipping companies. The company's shareholder list, operating conditions, feasibility of acquisition, etc.

In this way, when William Chen encounters many acquisition ideas or makes some business decisions, he can get a reply in the shortest time.

As for this team, William Chen's favorite leader is Erica. She has high loyalty and has been in charge of related work before. Now, after working in Meta Technology Company, she has also gained management experience. is the most suitable candidate.

But before that, he still needs to ask her for her own opinion.

"Do you want me to stay with you?"

"Because I trust you the most, Erica, but I also respect your wishes. If you want to try to manage the company more, the current Meta Technology Company is also a good choice."

"Are you serious?"

Erica sat up from the bed, she looked at William Chen, although her expression was still a little cold, but there was still an aftertaste on her face that couldn't be concealed.

"Yes, dear, as long as you want to do, I will provide you with opportunities."

William Chen hugged her into his arms, and Erica leaned her head on his shoulder, and said lightly: "If that's the case, does that mean I have to endure you with different women by your side again? "

"Uh, actually, you can also join..."

"You bastard!"

Hehe, William Chen turned over and said to her: "It seems that you still don't have a deep understanding of my bastard, Erica, you need to deepen it."

……

After Sundar Pichai became the CEO of Twitter, he immediately transformed the Twitter APP. So far, the results seem to be good. The whole APP is more concise and more convenient to operate. Yes, it also made the number of Twitter users grow a lot faster.

However, the time he has been in Meta Technology Company is still too short, so although Erica promised William Chen to be the leader of his think tank team, she still needs to stay in Meta Technology Company for a period of time, waiting for a month or two Later, when Sundar Pichai achieves more achievements, William Chen will refer him to the position of vice president of Meta Technology, temporarily in charge of Twitter, and coordinate other companies to be directly responsible to William Chen, and then make a decision based on the effect Should he be given the position of CEO of Meta Technology Company?

But now the team has started to form, just because Erica wants to stay in Silicon Valley temporarily, so the team's office is first set up in the Meta technology headquarters in Silicon Valley.

Through the headhunting company, Chen Weilian has already started to screen the members of the think tank team. This process will be more cautious, and it will be mainly young people, which has higher requirements on the ability of the other party.
