Sitting in the car going back, I suddenly spoke to An Lan in a very sincere tone.
An Lan smiled lightly and replied: "Thank me for what?"
"I understand why you brought me to your hometown. I feel a lot more relaxed now. Compared with what you have experienced, I feel that the things I have done are nothing."
An Lan smiled again and said, "Then how are you going to thank me?"
"As long as I can do it, just tell me."
"You definitely don't want to come to our company, but I have a competition here that I hope you can participate in."
I was stunned for a moment and asked: "What game?"
"A robot programming competition and the most famous competition in the country."
"Robot programming competition?" I repeated doubtfully, and then said, "What kind of competition is this? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"It just started this year, and it's the first time. The country attaches great importance to it. I heard that the bonus for the first place is as high as two million."
As soon as I heard about the two million bonus, I became excited and quickly asked: "Is there really a two million bonus?"
"It should be true, the second place also has one million."
I'm actually quite excited, but it makes no sense to participate in these competitions in my current capacity, and whether I can enter is still a question mark.
An Lan added at this time: "In fact, I think the bonus is secondary. The most important thing is to be able to show your face in the competition, which will help your future development."
What An Lan said is that in fact, when my company was first established, the reason why we had such good business was because we caught up with an expo in the programming industry.
Sometimes we need such a threshold, especially for little people like us who have no background or connections, we need such an opportunity.
But back then, I was as clean as a piece of white paper, but now there are stains on this white paper.
As a result, I no longer have the self-confidence I once had, and it also results in me not being able to appear in public, otherwise I will be flooded with saliva.
In my silence, An Lan seemed to know what I was worried about, and she said to me again: "Are you worried about the stain on yourself that prevents you from participating in the competition?"
I nodded and replied: "Yes, our industry is actually quite cruel. Just like a star actor, once there is any stain on one's body, it will be very difficult to turn around."
"Listening to what you said, I kind of understand."
After a short pause, An Lan said again: "But I still think you should give it a try, what do you think?"
Of course I want it too!
Everyone has dreams, just like those who study acting, they all dream of becoming a big star.
Me too, I also want to be a leader in the industry.
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. No one likes to spend his whole life doing nothing.
After a very long period of thought, I finally said: "Okay, I think I can give it a try. When?"
An Lan smiled with satisfaction and said to me: "Next Friday, there are exactly ten days left for you to prepare."
"I'm afraid ten days is a bit short. Programming in this sense is not simple. I'm afraid I won't be able to submit a satisfactory answer by then!"
"Don't worry, everyone is the same, they only have ten days, and they will have to go to the site to operate with field robots."
"That's pretty much it."
An Lan smiled and asked, "Do you have any good ideas now?"
"Nowadays, all kinds of robots are based on the most basic programs. When it comes to robots, Japanese and German technologies are relatively successful, and we can learn from them."
An Lan suddenly remembered something, turned to me with a smile and said, "Let me tell you something interesting."
"you say."
"Last time I went to the bank to handle business, I met a robot. It's the kind of robot that you can ask questions about the bank's business, and it will answer you in detail... It's fun, and the robot's voice is also very nice.
, many people are rushing to play, and it will get angry."
I smiled and said, "This is nothing new. Weren't there robots like this on the Internet before? Their program operation is actually not difficult, but they only use multi-party API databases."
After a pause, I continued: "Actually, I think the most important robots to be realized now are those that can help the disabled. Although robots are used to replace human labor, I think they should be used more in caring."
An Lan frowned slightly and said, "What then?"
"For example, those disabled people with inconvenient hands and feet can have a conversational robot to help them...and deaf-mute people can also use robots to complete some basic things in their lives."
"The idea is very good, but I don't think it has much commercial value and it is difficult to get a good ranking."
An Lan is indeed a businesswoman, and all she thinks about is business-related.
Of course, this is also reality. If I really use this to participate in competitions, it will indeed be difficult to get a good ranking, or even be at the bottom.
This kind of competition itself is linked to business, and it must have great commercial value in order to achieve a good ranking.
I nodded and agreed: "Yes, so I won't program in this way."
Chatting with An Lan all the way, we soon returned to the city.
An Lan asked me where I was going, and I told her that I was renting a house in Xiahao and asked her to drop me off at any subway station along the way.
An Lan forcibly dragged me to Xiahao and asked me how I could rent a house here.
I smiled and said it was cheap! It was only 600 yuan a month, and water and electricity bills were included.
An Lan said to me: "Actually, you can tell me this kind of thing. The spare house I have here, in Crystal Belvedere, is a three-bedroom, one-living room with fine decoration. It is now vacant."
I really feel that An Lan is a little too kind to me. Should I say that my relationship with her is not as good as this?
I smiled and said, "I can't afford to rent your house. If you want me to live in it for free, I can't afford it either. Thank you for your kindness."
An Lan is a person who doesn't like to be muddled, so he stopped talking to me and asked me to prepare a programming plan.
After An Lan left, I returned to this single room alone, where even the sun couldn't shine in.
After I was alone, my thoughts began to feel a little wrong, and I slowly began to think of the fact that my son was not my son.
When I think about this, my heart hurts, as if someone is pricking me with a needle. It hurts so much that I can hardly breathe.
After smoking three cigarettes in a row, I decided not to stay alone anymore, even if I went out to deliver food.
As long as it keeps me busy, it can make me forget the worries in my heart.
It happened to be lunch time, and I joined the busy food delivery queue again.
After two hours of busy work, I had some free time and randomly found a restaurant nearby to eat. In the afternoon, I received a call from the agency.
The agency told me that the house had been sold and asked me to go to their store to sign the contract now.
Everything went smoothly. The couple who bought my house were a young couple. They bought it with a loan and used it as a wedding house.
Excluding the agency fee, the total was 510,000, all of which was paid to my bank card.
This is also the largest amount of money I have received recently. Although it is not a lot, I will use every penny wisely.
I plan to buy a computer for programming first, then rent a house as my studio, and then start my second business.
