Top of the big era

Next, Zhou Buqi officially appointed Cheng Binghao as the chief technology officer of Ziweixing Company.

He will be responsible for grasping the overall technical direction, supervising the activities of technical research and development, guiding and checking technical selection and specific technical issues, and completing various technical tasks/projects assigned.

The specific business arrangement is to take over the data processing system project from Zhang Yiming, connect with Microsoft Research Institute, and transform scientific research results into actual benefits.

Zhou Buqi said: "I just got the news that in the middle of this month, Qihoo will complete its financing and Zhou Hongyi will officially take over. We have to hurry up and get ready to pick some elite soldiers to come over."

Cheng Binghao asked, "Are we really going to start the search business?"

Wang Haoyang's face turned green, "No, this really won't work!"

Everyone laughed.

Zhou Buqi was dumbfounded, and shook his head, "There is pressure on funding, and the search business...is put on hold for now. But don't we also have some search modules internally, such as the friend search of Youyou.com, the software search of Weidian Security Guard, and the Xiaonei website. Post search and so on, you can use these small projects first.”

"That is to say, the search project is just on hold, and must be done in the future?"

"right!"

"That's easy."

Cheng Binghao nodded, more motivated.

He was born in search, and the search business under Sina is basically made by him. At the very beginning, he was the only programmer in Sina's search business, and he had a huge workload, which was accomplished by the big waves.

Zhou Buqi said: "Scientific research should be a long-term and important strategic component of Ziwei Star. Everyone should do their best to help Yang Zhenkun's project team. He will be working on a distributed database, including a distributed firewall in collaboration with Liu Yu. At least It needs 200 cutting-edge technical talents. At that time, he may have to go to various departments to transfer relevant talents, and everyone must be prepared."

It is almost impossible to recruit 200 newcomers in one go, and let this group of melon eggs do a very challenging big project.

It must be taken by the elderly.

40 people were recruited from business departments such as Youyou.com, Xiaonei.com, Dongfang Weidian, and Membership Shopping, and another 40 people were recruited from Qihoo. These 80 people are all mature technical teams.

Let them use the old to bring the new, and bring the 120 newly recruited people to work on the project together. Among the 120 people, half recruited programmers with work experience through social recruitment, and half recruited talents from major universities through school recruitment.

Just recruiting is a very difficult task.

Every time a school recruits, it costs a lot of money.

In particular, Ziweixing recruits high-end talents. Universities like Tsinghua University and Peking University may have more recruitment quotas, while ordinary 985 universities may only have one or two quotas.

Li Guoqing once disclosed insider information to Zhou Buqi, saying that during the annual school recruitment season, Dangdang only recruits, and the recruitment cost for each freshman reaches about 20,000 yuan.

After counting the training after joining the job, and the elimination during the 3-month trial period... the final recruitment cost for a single person will reach about 60,000.

Recruitment costs are far greater than social recruitment.

One of the main functions of the job search website for fresh graduates is to greatly reduce the cost of school recruitment.

He Yangdao: "I checked the job-hunting website for fresh graduates, and it's doing pretty well. The number of unique IP visits per day has exceeded 700,000. It's basically the most popular online recruitment platform for college students. The Xiaonei website should be well guided through forums. The capital is easy to say, we can go to the school to hold school recruitment, but some colleges and universities in other places, such as Fudan Jiaotong University and Nankai Wuhan University, have to contact online through the job search website for fresh graduates, and connect offline."

Guo Pengfei immediately stated, "No problem, I will communicate later. I will find you the most ideal and capable fresh graduates in the country."

The last thing, Zhou Buqi said: "The distributed database is definitely a national key scientific research project. It is reasonable to apply for funding from the National Natural Science Foundation of China."

When it came to money, Wang Haoyang became interested, and immediately said: "Let me tell you. I can't remember the specific data. I didn't bring the documents, but I still know the general situation. Last year, the Natural Science Foundation accepted a total of 50,000 yuan. A number of scientific research projects have been approved for funding of 10,000 items. The average funding for each project is 250,000 yuan."

"What?"

Zhou Buqi was taken aback for a moment, and Guo Pengfei and Zhang Yiming also twitched their mouths.

250000?

Enough for what?

Ziweixing could squeeze out this sum of money casually from between his teeth.

Wang Haoyang said with a smile: "The projects of the Natural Science Foundation of China can be roughly divided into four categories, namely face projects, key projects, major projects and major scientific research projects. More than 98% of the projects approved by the Natural Science Foundation of China are face projects, and this part should occupy natural About 60% of the total annual funding of the fund. Last year, 200 key projects were approved for funding, with an average funding of about 1.5 million yuan per project.”

"Too little?" Guo Pengfei was not happy.

Wang Haoyang went on to say: "1.5 million is just the average of key projects, major projects and major scientific research projects. Our distributed database must be a major scientific research project and can meet the highest standards."

"Just tell me how much it is?"

"The highest standard, 5 million yuan!"

"snort."

Guo Pengfei pouted, disapproving.

Distributed databases need to invest 100 million yuan a year, but 5 million yuan is approved in the end. What is it enough for?

Zhang Yiming couldn't help asking: "I heard... At the beginning of the century, Xteam, Bluepoint, Chinasoft and Hongqi launched four major domestic Linux systems. Let's not mention the latter two are state-owned enterprises, but the first two are private enterprises. , and each family has also received tens of millions of financial support."

He Yang understands this very well, because Lenovo has also developed its own operating system, saying: "What they get is corporate investment and government capital injection, and they need to trade shares. The natural fund is free money, and there is no need to dilute the shares. "

"Dilution of shares?" Guo Pengfei shook his head again and again when he heard that, "In this case, we might as well raise money, connect with the capital market directly, and raise more money."

He Yangdao: "That's it. Some high-tech companies are not favored in the capital market, so they can only seek funding from the state. The state encourages scientific research, so it will require relevant state-owned enterprises, industrial funds, and local governments to provide certain support. .It’s not a bad thing, isn’t Lenovo and Huawei all getting up like this?”

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "No matter how small a lice is, it's still meat. Five million is 5 million. I'll apply first."

As I said that, I felt a little emotional.

The company has grown so big that it doesn't even care about 5 million yuan.

Many scam companies are trying to cheat the country of these millions! With the support of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, it is equivalent to having the approval of scientists with the title of academicians. Next, it will be much easier to find cooperation with local governments and rich people, and the scam can reach tens of millions or even a few. billion scale.

In the final analysis, it still depends on whether the scientists of the two institutes are willing to tell the truth.

In fact, insiders can understand it at a glance.

For example, Northeast Chip, where can a chip electronics company with a full industrial chain comparable to Samsung be born?

I am afraid that the relevant experts will be bribed.

Or eating kara is tricky.

In this regard, there is no problem with Yang Zhenkun's project. He was originally from within the system, with strong connections and even stronger skills. More importantly, his doctoral supervisor is Academician Wang Xuan, who is the number one in the computer field in China, and no one dares to bully him.

"I have one more question, the last one." Just as Zhou Buqi was about to adjourn the meeting, Wang Haoyang raised his hand suddenly.

"What's up?"

"What if our distributed database is not produced within three years?"

"Then do it for another three years!"

"In another three years, it still won't work?"

"Then do it for another three years!"

Zhou Buqi snorted, slapped the table, and said unquestionably: "Ziweixing must have its own core technology! Now that you have made up your mind to do it, you must stick to it even if you sell everything! This is a strategy! Do it for ten years. ! It won’t be done in ten years, let’s talk about it later!”

...

West Railway Station.

Zhou Buqi hugged Wu Yu into his arms, and scolded with a smile: "I'll make you fool around, I'll freeze you to death!"

"It's already spring, who knows it's snowing again!"

Wu Yu has already changed her outfit, from a down jacket to a long windbreaker. She is tall and slender, showing the beauty of her figure well. Unexpectedly, it snowed again.

Zhou Buqi hugged her and ran quickly into the station, followed by two bodyguards.

Grandpa Zhou Guangshan is here.

Dad invited me here.

He is now the chairman of Yuanwei Food and Beverage Company, and he is very energetic, so he invites the old man over here, intending to be filial.

However, he said that he was too busy with work, so he didn't come to pick him up in person, and sent his son over.

After entering the station, most of the cold had gone, Wu Yu covered his red ears from the cold, and asked strangely: "Why doesn't Grandpa take the plane? How hard did you suffer this night on the train?"

Zhou Buqi shrugged, "Maybe I'm used to it."

"oh."

There were a lot of people in the station, Wu Yu stood next to him closely, looked at him from afar, thought of something, and lowered his voice: "Husband, where does grandpa live tonight?"

They have moved. It is a large mansion of more than 240 square meters with four bedrooms.

Usually, love is love, sleep is sleep, and we have to separate.

Zhou Buqi and Wen Zhixia shared the master bedroom, and Wu Yu and Shi Jinglin shared the master bedroom.

Recently Shi Jinglin went on a business trip, so Zhou Buqi was not polite, and slept with Wen Zhixia and Wu Yu Wushan Yunyu in his arms every night.

Zhou Buqi said: "It must be my father's place, why not ours? If he sees me living with several girls, won't my legs be broken?"

Wu Yuhua turned pale, "Is grandpa so strict?"

Zhou Buqi thought for a while, "Almost."

"Then..." Wu Yu hesitated for a moment, a little confused.

"What's wrong?"

"Grandpa doesn't have a concubine?"

"Uh... probably not. He was not allowed when he was young. When he is opened up, his health is not good, and even if he wants to find him, he will be powerless. Yes, it is jealousy."

"Bah, bah, bah!" Wu Yu was funny and annoyed, and pushed him, "How can anyone say that about elders?"

Ten minutes later, the old man appeared.

His hair has turned gray a lot, and his figure has become more bent.

Grandpa is really old.
