Chapter 292 Small cooperation, big future(1/2)
The communication with Ye Yi was very smooth.
Ye Yi didn't pat his chest or say anything bold. He did things well besides SSP.
After saying goodbye to Ye Yi, Zhou Kuan did not rush to find Chen Xueqian, but walked to Building 345.
It was a coincidence that I happened to meet it.
Although Chen Xueqian only works part-time in Bai Huameng, the easiest place to find him is indeed in Building 345.
Seeing Zhou Kuan, Chen Xueqian smiled and said hello: "Mr. Zhou."
"I'm busy." Zhou Kuan also greeted.
Chen Xueqian smiled and shook his head: "It's not busy, so I can come and have a look."
"Go to my office to chat?" Zhou Kuan didn't say much, and said nodded to 202.
Chen Xueqian nodded and agreed.
The two walked into Room 202 one after another and settled down.
Zhou Kuan asked slowly: "What do seniors think about the current work atmosphere of Bai Huameng?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xueqian's eyelids twitched slightly, and his eyes paused on Zhou Kuan's face. Zhou Kuan's name and such questions had some other meanings, and he understood.
After thinking for a while, Chen Xueqian replied frankly: "It's more suitable for work than before."
"I didn't look like a company before, but it was more like an interest working group. However, although the organizational structure is much clearer now, the atmosphere has not changed much. It's pretty good, how can I say...
This kind of relaxed atmosphere is suitable for programmers who have ideas about improving their technical abilities."
After a little stop, Chen Xueqian added: "Although the tasks were still assigned and the development cycle was planned."
Zhou Kuan was once an IT engineer, so he naturally understood what Chen Xueqian expressed.
Since I decided to put Bai Huameng on the CUHK campus, Bai Huameng's genes have become a bit unique.
In fact, it is very simple to say, just not paying attention to economic benefits.
After taking a look at Chen Xueqian, Zhou Kuan refused to comment: "Is there any?"
"It's gone." Chen Xueqian's answer was very straightforward.
Zhou Kuan was not long-winded and straightforward: "Since Bai Huameng's atmosphere is pretty good, should seniors consider staying after graduation?"
Although I had expected it, Chen Xueqian was still a little suspicious when he heard Zhou Kuan's straightforward invitation: "Why did Mr. Zhou suddenly..."
Zhou Kuan didn't hide it from it, and was very blunt: "I developed from the studio to the company, lacking people and talents."
Seeing this, Chen Xueqian smiled and his sitting posture changed slightly: "To be honest, I didn't think about staying directly in Bai Huameng. Bai Huameng is in school. The environment is comfortable and the working atmosphere is very good, but..."
Speaking of this, Chen Xueqian looked straight at Zhou Kuan: "I am actually not young anymore, and I don't have much passion left. I want to go to the world outside of school to sprinkle."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Kuan said calmly: "Bai Huameng's environment will be comfortable, but Bai Huameng's affairs will not always be so challenging; and, to be honest, the world outside of the school may not necessarily have something that makes you passionate. In most cases, you can only be a screw in a large company, and it is not even as interesting as you are in the laboratory now, or doing projects with your boss (mentor)."
After hearing Zhou Kuan's words, Chen Xueqian frowned and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou seems...why? He looks a little more important to me?"
"That's right, because you are excellent enough." Zhou Kuan admitted generously.
In the field of programming technology, Chen Xueqian is not very weak, and he is already enough to get the excellent threshold that Zhou Kuan has drawn in his heart.
But what’s interesting is that just talking about Bai Huameng, Chen Xueqian’s technical level is not as good as Li Ce.
Li Ce seems to have participated in a very awesome project. Although he is only responsible for the side and corners, his technical level will become stronger at any time.
Even though Zhou Kuan was so straightforward, Chen Xueqian was still a little hesitant: "Mr. Zhou, if possible, I want to know more reasons."
Zhou Kuan simply replied: "Bai Huameng will launch a special project, which is a branch of a multiple project and is also a project jointly participated by multiple parties. The main technical participants are teams led by several professors in the school, and will be completed in a form similar to a laboratory."
Chen Xueqian frowned when he heard this: "Mr. Zhou, I am frank, this specification does not seem to be something that Bai Huameng can participate in."
"On the surface, Bai Huameng is indeed not qualified, but the main investor is my other company." Zhou Kuan told the truth.
Speaking of this, Zhou Kuan stopped talking and said bluntly: "Senior Chen is considering it. This opportunity is very good. I dare not say that there are so many. The initial plan for R&D capital investment is 100 million. It is still guaranteed."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xueqian paused: "Can you give me... even a few hours of thinking."
"Senior is at will." Zhou Kuan said with a smile.
Chen Xueqian stood up, said goodbye politely, and left quickly.
It looks a little anxious.
He was moved!
But he is not a young boy, so he has to consider other factors, such as partner, family, life, salary, etc.
After all, Chen Xueqian is not a rich second generation like Ye Yi.
Watching Chen Xueqian leave in a hurry, Zhou Kuan was a little funny and muttered to himself: "Am I that stingy?"
“…”
Chen Xueqian was actually afraid that Zhou Kuan would just fool him and could not give him the expected salary, so he was obviously tempted and wanted to weigh the pros and cons.
But no matter what, Chen Xueqian was just moved anyway.
He is a graduate student in science and engineering, and his understanding of the engineering professors in Zhongda Li is much deeper than Zhou Kuan.
He also worked with his boss on some projects, knowing how awesome the projects that require a hundred million investment in R&D funds alone are and how much they can learn.
It's far more passionate than being a screw in other companies!
However, Zhou Kuan has not yet discussed the general situation of the project.
In fact, Zhou Kuan’s plan is not that simple. He has a sense of the word “cooperation”, so he doesn’t mind large-scale cooperation between these companies that have something to do with him.
Now this big project is mainly about crossing precision, and allows Honghu, Bai Huameng, Tan family, and CUHK to participate in different forms.
In fact, this can be seen from the fact that Zhou Kuan invited Ye Yi in the name of transcending precision, and Chen Xueqian in the name of Bai Huameng.
Simply put, Honghu is responsible for the main capital investment, and Tan is responsible for the coordination of the main material industry chain resources;
Honghu, crosses precision, is responsible for the core hardware design, research and development, and production process;
Bai Huameng, CUHK is responsible for the core software development process.
The product to be produced in this project is an electronic blackboard.
It is nothing more than the core hardware of this electronic blackboard: processing units, motherboards, etc.;
Self-developed supporting micro operating system.
The former is responsible, Honghu takes the lead, while the latter is responsible.
After all, this micro operating system is mainly used to assist the 'simulation learning game' to run on hardware.
Currently, electronic blackboards on the market are not common. The conventional processing method is the plug-in OPS (open pluggable specification) proposed by Intel, Microsoft and other companies this year to provide a Windows operating environment.
There are many reasons, such as: the current Windows system is generally run in the X86 standard environment, that is, Intel and AMD CPUs. It is very costly to directly integrate such an environment. After all, it can be realized in a particularly simple way: screen projection.
For example: iPhoneOS and Android, which have already experienced massive explosions, both smartphone systems, run under chips in ARM standard environments.
As we all know, the X86 standard is a general term for processor design specifications including instruction set systems, etc. It is not authorized to the outside world in principle, and is generally produced by Intel and AMD.
The ARM standard is the same specification of ARM companies. It is generally said that this company is a company that specializes in providing processor design IPs to the world. At present, everyone is authorized and you can just give money.
Combining these objective limitations and the current and long-term considerations, Zhou Kuan’s plan is:
Purchase a small amount of IP authorization from ARM and design a low-precision chip; and based on this processor specification, cut out a micro operating system based on Linux and FreeBSD, or even build a small system by yourself. Anyway, you don’t have to consider ecological compatibility issues, and only run Bai Huameng’s auxiliary teaching software.
Finally, we gathered it into an electronic blackboard to maintain a balance of income and expenditure as much as possible.
There are many purposes: to accumulate experience in various aspects for Honghu to develop its core business in the future.
Accumulate various experiences for Tan's test of precision electronics.
With the help of Bai Huameng's relaxed working atmosphere, cultivate a group of creative software engineers...and so on.
Ultimately, Honghu’s core business can be integrated into software and hardware, and a small track can be occupied in a model similar to Apple, and beautiful alone.
…………
A few hours later, Chen Xueqian took the initiative to find Zhou Kuan.
The eagerness on his face has already explained his choice.
Zhou Kuan did not make Chen Xueqian embarrassed and took the initiative to mention his future salary and benefits.
Just ten minutes before and after, Chen Xueqian signed a new contract with satisfaction. He will become a formal employee of Bai Huameng after graduation and prepare to enter the new project today.
Zhou Kuan was not in a hurry to tell Chen Xueqian the general direction of Bai Huameng's responsibility.
Anyway, Zhou Kuan believes that Chen Xueqian can make certain effective contributions.
Zhou Kuan was not idle for the next few days.
I also talked to Li Ce.
The routine is almost the same.
"Senior Li, your technical strength is very good. The graduate school will not end in more than a year, so don't waste it."
“Make something challenging.”
