Chapter 442: Take the initiative to carry the flag, it must be time to carry the flag
The multimedia hall burst into applause, and the audience watching the live broadcast kept chatting with each other.
One after another, comments on the comments said, "It caused an inexplicable feeling of extreme comfort", "This place should be expanded" and so on.
The warm applause gradually fell, but Ye Hua did not leave immediately. He was still on the stage.
At this time, the host came to the stage, holding the microphone: "Thank you Mr. Ye for your wonderful speech. Due to time constraints, we will directly enter the next question and answer session. Mr. Ye, while you were speaking, we received a small piece of paper from the audience.
We asked some questions and selected some from them, and also collected questions from netizens online.”
The host immediately looked at the small card in his hand and asked: "Let's first look at the questions raised by the students on site. The first question: Coastline currently has a comprehensive layout in terms of networks, terminals, enterprise networks, etc., what about the Internet of Things, edge
What is the strategic direction for computing and distributed computing?”
Ye Hua thought for a moment and immediately replied: "The Internet of Things is a window of opportunity that we will vigorously strive for in the future. We established Liferay to promote the explosive development of the Internet of Things. The foundation of the Internet of Things lies in connection, and the core is the diversity of species.
, This is consistent with Coastline’s strategy. The connection includes what you call edge computing, distributed computing, etc., but we do it at the basic level.”
"Someone asked me, what will the future society look like? I am not a futurist, I can't say clearly, and futurists are not necessarily right. With the help of a rumor outside, 'mathematics is the end of physics, and mathematics is the end of mathematics.
It is philosophy, and the end of philosophy is theology. Perhaps only God knows the description of the future. For me, taking the initiative to describe and depict may get hints of the future."
Seeing Ye Hua nodding, the host immediately took over: "Second question, regarding the application of AI technology, are there any applications in supply chain, finance, manufacturing and quality management? For example, what about market uncertainty decisions?
use?"
Ye Hua: "In fact, we have already moved further from research to the application stage of AI. Our representative product in this field is Xiaoyin Assistant. We are working hard to make AI real and not to blur it. Otherwise, in AI products
If the development of AI is immature, we don’t dare to invest heavily. In the process of simplifying management, a large number of reserve talents are reserved for the product. We know that the AI boom has come and gone several times. Due to this mechanism,
Even if AI investment in the entire society is in a bubble in the future, we can keep our feet firmly on our feet and not panic. Once the bubble bursts, we will recruit a large number of talents from society who have deep thoughts on failure and add them to our team to realize the future
To develop advantages, AI is a winner-takes-all approach. Our coastline has been established for less than four or five years and has an inherent disadvantage, so we need to cherish the outstanding talents of unsuccessful companies."
The host immediately motioned Ye Hua to look at the big screen behind him. It was a large floating screen with a holographic display realized through PHC equipment. The audience at the scene also focused on the screen.
"The following is a question we selected from netizens. This question is very interesting, especially because he is an employee of Coastline and an overseas employee." The host smiled and then looked at the messages on the screen and read.
: "I am a German, but I am honored to join Coastline. I have been with the company for more than two years. At the beginning, there were barriers to integration and communication. During this period, I gradually integrated into the team and projects. As a team member
As a foreign employee, boss, do you have any good suggestions for career growth and development in Coastline?"
Ye Hua smiled and said: "Although I don't know which employee it is, what I want to say is that growth and development have nothing to do with nationality, whether you are Chinese, German, British, French or American.
, In addition, it should have nothing to do with ethnicity, race, belief or gender, etc. We are a commercial multinational company, and there is no label issue. A doctor is a doctor, and there are no distinctions such as race, nationality, nationality, belief, etc.
There is only a difference between being excellent or not, and being suitable or not, and of course that includes pre-doctoral students.”
Moderator: "Last question, a netizen named "Forward for the Motherland" asked: How will Coastline Company compete in the new windows and new opportunities in the future?"
Looking at the message on the big floating screen, Ye Hua thought for a while and replied with a smile: "First of all, I think we have no competitors. We mainly work together with everyone to serve human society, so the more partners we have, the better.
It’s not that our coastline should be outstanding. But that doesn’t mean that we are humble and great, and that we should use our own death to turn into fertilizer to nourish the land and let other crops grow better, no.”
"So we not only need to survive and be nourished ourselves, but others must also survive and be nourished. Together, we can make reasonable contributions to human society. If we want to clarify our competitors, I think it is whether we ourselves have forgotten
The original intention and the determination of Coastline have never changed: to bring science fiction into reality."
…
The original trip to HKUST was supposed to be no more than four hours, but it ended up being more than four hours. Facts have proved that plans can never keep up with changes.
After the trip to HKUST, his trip to the High Efficiency College officially came to a successful conclusion. Many other universities in the country were actually interested in inviting Ye Hua to attend some events and give speeches.
But a big shot like him can't just be invited by anyone.
After leaving HKUST, I stayed temporarily in a local hotel and prepared to return to the company early tomorrow morning.
There is no doubt that Ye Hua's trip to HKUST is an indirect response to the rhythm of some domestic media reports recently. After all, the coastline is now too big and too vulnerable to fire. Every time there is some movement, the rhythm of the sky follows, and online reports
The rhythm never stops, the difference is just the size.
Ye Hua did not expect to calm down the rhythm after passing the HKUST schedule, because a new rhythm had emerged.
The Rhythm Party immediately grasped why it gave more than 6 billion US dollars to European universities and more than 3 billion US dollars to domestic universities.
Throwing doubts and then decisively leading to the conclusion that the coastline is being eaten up is still a familiar routine and the original recipe.
But this is not the point. The real point is that through this trip, Ye Hua frequently appeared in colleges and universities at home and abroad, allowing the world to see the sincerity and urgent appeal of Coastline Group to attract talents.
Coastline needs a lot of outstanding talents. There is no hiding it. The whole world knows that Coastline Group is going to play big this time.
And it's not just telling an exciting story, but more importantly, taking practical actions.
On the afternoon of December 17, when Ye Hua gave a speech at the University of Science and Technology, the official website of Coastline Group officially announced the total R&D budget for next year 2023 at USD$22.8 billion.
It is equivalent to more than eur20 billion, or more than RMB150 billion.
Regardless of whether they are domestic or foreign, those whose annual income can reach this amount are world-renowned giant companies.
The announcement of this news shocked the world. Coastline Group's R&D investment suddenly became the first in the world. This dazzling data made the world unable to ignore it and undoubtedly attracted the attention of global scientific and technological talents to Coastline Group.
The world's well-known giant companies, mainly international technology giants, have announced their R&D budget expenditures for next year. 2023 has not yet arrived, and competition has already begun.
The European Commission ranks the industrial R&D investment of various countries and regions around the world. North America accounts for 31 companies on the top 100 list, while China, Germany and Japan have 18, 13 and 11 companies respectively, as well as others.
The vast majority of these companies are high-tech companies.
According to this EU ranking, the top spot is Coastline Group, with a R&D investment budget of 20 billion euros. Amazon ranks second, with a R&D expenditure budget of 18.1 billion euros for next year. Compared with Amazon's historical data, it once reached 18.1 billion euros.
eur19.7 billion, it can be seen that the pace of this company is slowing down.
Amazon's R&D investment in 2017 reached US$22.6 billion. In fact, Amazon is more than just an online shopping mall. It has been investing heavily in computer vision technologies such as AWS and Alexal to lay the foundation for future cashless stores. However,
This company's R&D investment is currently out of proportion to its output, and Amazon's price-to-earnings ratio is also frighteningly high.
The companies ranked 3rd to 6th are Alphabet (Google's parent company), Microsoft, Huawei, and Intel. The R&D expenditure budgets of these four companies next year are respectively 100 million euros, 12.286 billion euros, 12.165 billion euros, and 12.07 billion euros.
.
It is worth mentioning that Samsung Electronics, which once ranked first among global R&D investment companies, fell out of the top ten this time.
Data is the most intuitive information feedback, which has triggered another long-standing hot debate: technology is the primary productive force.
And scientific and technological talents are the core driving force.
The world's well-known international technology giants are spending heavily in this field to launch fierce competition for scientific and technological talents. This is the best era. As long as you have talent, you are not afraid of not having a stage to display your talent.
In this age of grabbing money and talent, how can we spend so much time chatting and chatting with those who are still thinking in primitive society? All the good resources have been taken up by others, and the good talents have been taken away.
People robbed everyone, and in the end there was no place to cry.
There is no doubt that Coastline Group's "parachute" to the top of the list is eye-catching. This is the result that Ye Hua wants. Coastline Company has grown to the scale and influence it has today, and it has also taken the initiative to carry the flag.
Passively absorbing talents is meaningless for the company's future development. At a certain level, it must actively open its arms and actively absorb talents, and recruit talents from all over the world for its own use.
