Chapter 235 People are good at limiting their imagination
Seeing Yang Xingshan unable to conceal his excitement, Dai Li was a little envious.
They have known each other for many years. They went to study in the United States together, graduated from Stanford together, studied in Silicon Valley together, and returned to China for vacation together.
Now we have joined Bolang together.
However, Yang Xingshan immediately got an opportunity to create any graphical interface on the mobile phone system kernel that was completely started from scratch.
And he didn't.
As some people think, phones that don’t look like iPhones are no longer called mobile phones around the world.
But Dai Li is a person who is very good at comforting himself.
He feels that although graphical interface design from scratch has the opportunity to compete with Apple's era-changing Aqua, using mobile phones as a medium, the scope of what is ultimately presented to users is not very wide.
Thinking of this, Dai Li felt relieved.
Ouch!
Everyone is the same, they can only do it in the small conch.
Wen Liang, who dared not say that he was good at observing words and expressions, saw the subtle changes in Dai Li's expression, and was even more aware of Yang Xingshan's uncontrollable excitement.
Then, Mr. Wen raised a smile on his face and said slowly: "I once heard a saying that people are good at imposing frameworks on themselves to limit their imagination."
Dai Li was moved when he heard this, and then Wen Liang added casually: "Dai Gong, do you think this makes sense?"
Although he failed to capture that moment of inspiration, Dai Li still said firmly: "It makes sense!"
Wen Liang said bluntly: "You don't understand."
Dai Li: "..."
Seeing this, Wen Liang patiently guided him: "How about Apple's direct-operated store in Shanghai?"
Dai Li replied subconsciously: "Very good."
Wen Liang added: "In my impression, industrial design is a broad concept, and design is an even broader concept."
Dai Li's eyes almost popped out of his head, he understood everything, he understood it completely!
All he could think about was: "Am I so privileged?"
"Can I really do that?"
"But my expertise is only in industrial design for small mobile devices!"
"I……"
Then, he heard Wen Liang say in a serious tone: "The unique design elements and soul of a brand are not only reflected in a single device. Apple has demonstrated that it is a cost-effective solution to cross the river by feeling it."
Dai Li: "!"
"I understand! I will try my best!"
That's it.
An excited heart and trembling hands are contagious.
Wen Liang took a sip of the so-called hand-ground coffee and waited patiently for the two of them to slowly recover from their excitement.
I didn't feel any difference from instant coffee, which was a bit disappointing.
He murmured in his heart: "You should listen to Su Jian and take a thermos cup to make a pot of tea and bring it down to drink."
…
After a short while, the two calmed down and looked at Wen Liang.
Yang Xingshan took the initiative and asked: "Does Mr. Wen have any other instructions?"
Wen Liang cleared his throat and said calmly: "I am not responsible for specific affairs. I can only make a few simple requests for you in a general direction;
It is necessary to enter the working state as quickly as possible, quickly understand the habits of domestic users, quickly adapt to Bolang's working atmosphere, etc.
Time is very tight now, we need to determine the model as soon as possible to finalize the supply chain as soon as possible, and we need to work with the kernel R&D team as soon as possible to promote each other's development progress, etc."
Yang Xingshan and Dai Li said in unison: "Please rest assured, Mr. Wen."
Wen Liang added: "By the way, Bolang's working atmosphere has a core element. What you show through overtime work is not hard power and you will be ridiculed."
Yang Xingshan: "..."
Dai Li: "..."
The two were stunned for a moment, and then Yang Xingshan said: "Some of my friends, um... friends in China, said that companies of all sizes now like Zhou and Zhou, and they go to work at 9 o'clock and get off work at 9 o'clock. We thought the company's lack of overtime was just a propaganda.
"
Wen Liang glanced at the two of them: "I checked Twitter this morning, but I didn't remember that the Bay Area's corruption was reflected in overtime."
"Yes, yes." Dai Li nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Mr. Wen."
After chatting for a while, Wen Liang finally made a small request: "When I have time, I will share with your friends in the Bay Area about your work status at Bolang. Bolang's headquarters is also in the Greater Bay Area. The same thing
.”
Yang Xingshan raised his eyebrows lightly.
The same goes for Dai Li.
They felt a unique temperament in Wen Liang.
It should be said that they experienced the gentle vision from joining Bolang.
'No wonder he is the most popular big boss in the country.'
‘This is the pattern~’
At this point, two "high-quality turtles" who returned from the United States for vacation have joined Bolang and started their new journey. They will also contribute their talents to Bolang's mobile phone business.
…………
Later, Wen Liang returned to the hotel room.
After glancing at Wen Liang, Su Jian had a slight smile on his face: "It went very well."
"Yeah." Wen Liang responded, "Their thinking model does fit in with Bo Lang."
Wen Liang then briefly shared the process with Su Jian.
After listening, Su Jian was a little puzzled: "These elite talents can't be so judgmental, right? Do you still need you to emphasize so deliberately for them to publicize?"
She was referring to Wen Liang's request for Yang and Dai to share their work status.
Wen Liang sat on the sofa beside him: "At first, I had the same idea as you. I thought that as long as Bolang takes practical actions, elites at home and abroad, especially those working abroad, will naturally favor Bolang."
"Just like Yang Xingshan also mentioned that if conditions permit, few people want to stay in a foreign country."
"However, you know that I promote Bolang's employee benefits and office atmosphere to attract domestic and foreign talents. The talents cannot believe that such a company really exists. The perception given to them by the environment has made them think that exploitation is reasonable.
"
Su Jian was still a little puzzled: "But the things done can be seen, and the remuneration of almost the same value can be obtained in real terms. Can't the whole Bolang lie collectively?"
"And you have continued to promote Bolang's good atmosphere through many occasions."
Seeing this, Wen Liang thought for a moment: "Let me ask you a question first, do you believe that all the product details in the advertisement are true?"
Su Jian shook his head: "Not really."
Wen Liang explained: "The reason is very simple. There are a lot of false advertisements, and more importantly, people's memory of propaganda is very short."
Then, Wen Liang patiently explained: "Many times people won't believe what they don't want to believe."
"For example, if I say I want to challenge Silicon Valley, if you believe me, others will just think, ah, how dare such a gentle man do it? It's impossible even if you think about it;
If one day I leverage domestic resources and make it happen, they will say, oh, no wonder Wen Liang is different, it turns out he is a person with dreams."
At this point, Wen Liang raised a finger: "Another example is that Bolang has been preparing for so long before launching a mobile game. As a result, even within the company, they just think wow, Mr. Wen is really awesome and has a unique vision."
The second finger: "It is foreseeable that when Bolang officially releases the mobile phone, uninformed company employees and the online public will feel the same way."
Wagging two fingers, Wen Liang continued: "It's just these simple aspects now, and I will do more in the future. This kind of scene will only happen over and over again. Who will pay attention to my preparations so far in advance?"
"When I made preparations in advance, how many people understood it?"
"People are like this, they only want to see what they want to see."
Su Jian completely understood: "So you need the two of them to show their Chinese friends in the Bay Area their working status after joining Bolang from time to time."
"So, in fact, you came to Luzhou in person for no reason. You wanted to personally determine whether the two of them meet your requirements for promoting Bolang to the high-end talent market."
Wen Liang gave a thumbs up: "You got the answer right. As a reward, you can make me a cup of tea."
Su Jian looked at Wen Liang with her beautiful auspicious eyes. She didn't look away until she made a cup of tea and handed it to Wen Liang.
…………
…………
Thursday, the 23rd, is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the Chinese Valentine's Day.
But the gentleness of the festival did not pay attention to this small detail.
Su Jian didn't care either.
Rather than letting Wen Liang try his best to fool her, she was more looking forward to spending a normal day with Wen Liang.
So, that morning, Wen Liang and Li Xia went to the University of Science and Technology of China, and Su Jian took Li Rang to play.
Because it was an official visit, the University of Science and Technology of China was very welcoming, with the executive vice president and school assistant leading a team to receive him.
The two sides had friendly and harmonious greetings.
On behalf of HKUST, the Executive Vice President extended a warm welcome to Wen Liang’s official visit.
I won't be slighted at all because Mr. Wen is still a student at school.
"I took the liberty of coming to visit. I'm sorry for disturbing you. I hope the leaders will understand me."
"Wherever you go, HKUST welcomes everyone to visit at any time."
"..."
Of course, the itinerary was left to the University of Science and Technology, and Wen Liang's needs had already been reported to the University of Science and Technology through official channels.
However, it is an official visit after all, and there will be some unavoidable procedures.
For example, a visit to the school history museum is essential.
Wen Liang is also willing to learn more about HKUST.
For example, the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements of HKUST.
In fact, some domestic institutions of higher learning have carried out the transfer of scientific and technological achievements. In terms of reputation, Tsinghua Unigroup, Tsinghua Tongfang, Peking University Founder, etc.
The more well-known one here at HKUST is HKUST iFlytek.
Huagong... Huagong also exists. It is said that Huagong Asset Management Company controls and holds shares in more than 100 companies, but they may not be as well-known as Mr. Wen's Bolang.
It must be said that the 1% shares of Bolang do not belong to the asset management company Huagong. The donation is clearly made to the South China University of Technology Education Development Foundation.
This is a foundation, and it is a non-public fund. It is only responsible for the management and use of funds, which are used for teaching, scholarships, aiding the poor, developing education and other social welfare activities. It cannot engage in business activities.
In addition, Wen Liang also made a point of visiting some special research institutes to learn about the cutting-edge research directions of HKUST.
During the process, Wen Liang also took the initiative to mention the Advanced Research Institute to be established by HKUST.
The Executive Vice-President expressed curiosity about Wen Liang's focus, because the University of Science and Technology only held the groundbreaking ceremony for the Advanced Research Institute on the 28th last month, that is, the Advanced Research Institute has not yet been unveiled.
Wen Liang muttered a few words.
He knew about Der. He only read the relevant content on the plane to Luzhou. He noticed that it was not that he knew this institute well in his previous life, but that the news pointed out that the standards of this institute were quite high.
The resources are definitely very abundant.
Wen Liang thought that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would be able to pick one up. With only the academic and research resources of a Chinese university, in what month and year would he be able to go to the stars and the sea... Just kidding.
However, now Bolang is really hungry for all kinds of academic and research resources.
Specifically, there is a huge demand for research resources in chip-related fields at this stage.
Because the design of the processing chip was not progressing smoothly, Qin Zheng was just a genius, not a god.
Not long ago, the process of developing a streamlined instruction set from scratch went through a complete overhaul.
To put it harshly, it was a waste of two months and a large amount of research funds.
After all, the first step has not been passed yet. After passing this first step, some complicated work will be done before the front-end design can be officially started.
…
This visit took more than two hours.
Wenliang can be said to have returned home with a full load.
After getting off the hotel porch and walking into the lobby, Wen Liang mentioned to Li Xia beside him: "The company needs to prepare for the establishment of a group scientist system." -
PS: I couldn’t sleep, so I wrote a chapter by the way, so I’ll update it first.
