Chapter 1240 The Annual Salary Is 5 Million, Do You Want to Work at Xingkong Technology?

The building of Xingkong Technology is downstairs.

Wang Wei, who got off the Mercedes-Benz, stretched out his hand and lightly adjusted his tie, looked up at the towering tall building, and took a deep breath slowly.

Soon, he will meet an extremely important person to Shunfeng Group.

Although this person is neither a political figure nor a bigwig in the business world, he doesn't feel a little relaxed in his heart, but instead feels a little nervous that he hasn't felt for a long time.

Because although that person is neither a powerful politician nor a powerful business tycoon, his status is not inferior to the former two, even if the two are added together, it is difficult to compare with him.

There is no other reason.

If it weren't for a great man who was pushed to the cusp of the times, the limit that a politician can achieve is just to continue the prosperity of a country or region, while the bottleneck of a businessman is even narrower. He can make a company worth trillions. It's basically the limit of what you can do as an entrepreneur.

But he is different.

Maybe he is not the richest in this world, and he has never entered the center of power, but even if the times change, his name will be eternal and remain in this world as a symbol.

As "Time Magazine" commented on him - he is the wealth of the entire human civilization, and his glory is the pinnacle of human mind.

With this faint respect, he took a step towards the stairs in front of him, but at this moment, a voice came from behind him.

"My friend, with an annual salary of five million, do you want to work at Xingkong Technology?"

Hearing the voice from behind, Wang Wei immediately turned his head and saw a young man looking at him with a smile.

Recognizing the identity of this person in an instant, Wang Wei was slightly taken aback for a moment, and then a hearty smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, no problem! The annual salary of 5 million is three times higher than my current annual salary. Academician Lu is so flattering, how dare Wang refuse? I just want to ask before joining the job, can I exchange this half of the annual salary? Shares, sent to me in the form of a year-end bonus. After all, the annual salary is too high, and the taxes paid make people feel distressed!"

Lu Zhou originally planned to make a joke, but he didn't expect him to agree, but he was embarrassed to continue teasing him, so he smiled and said.

"That's not good. Mr. Wang is already worth tens of billions, and he still misses my share."

Wang Wei sighed and said: "Academician Lu is joking, not to mention that a net worth of hundreds of billions is nothing in front of you, I am afraid that only those who don't even care about money will not care about your Starry Sky Technology shares. "

For Wang Wei's statement, Lu Zhou did not answer, but showed a friendly smile.

Speaking of fate, this thing is really magical.

He still remembers that when he was still an undergraduate student, Mr. Wang, who was already worth tens of billions at that time, offered him an annual salary of 500,000 yuan, asking him to give up his studies and work for him in Shenzhen City, but Lu Zhou He did not accept his offer, but completed his studies step by step, went abroad to study and teach, and finally returned to China to carry the banner of China's academic circles.

It's been almost ten years now.

Mr. Wang's net worth of tens of billions has not changed, but he has changed from a poor student to a business card of Huaguo's academic circle to the world.

When you think about it, it's really impressive.

In fact, to be honest, although the annual salary of 500,000 may not seem like a lot in 2023 today, it was not a small number nine years ago. Especially for a student who has just finished his sophomore year and is still worrying about living expenses, this is almost an irresistible condition.

Lu Zhou admitted that if he hadn't seen a broader future from the system, he might have accepted the offer and embarked on a path of "entering the Tao from the industry".

According to the deduction of this life trajectory, maybe he has embarked on a completely different path now...

They didn't stay at the door all the time. After exchanging a few polite words, the two walked towards the interior of the building together. After being received by the etiquette staff, they entered the VIP reception room that had been prepared.

The lady secretary in charge of the reception poured tea for the two of them, then turned and left the reception room, and closed the door behind her.

After taking a sip of hot tea to moisten the mulberries, Wang Wei looked at the decoration in the reception room and said with emotion.

"It is said that the reception room is the business card of a company. From the decoration, I can tell that Academician Lu is a person of taste."

Hearing this compliment, Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly.

In fact, he didn't get involved in the decoration of the group building, after all, he doesn't come here often. However, his emotional intelligence is not enough to tear down other people's platform on such trivial issues, so he accepts this compliment heartily.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"This is not a compliment," Wang Wei smiled, his tone suddenly filled with emotion, "It's really embarrassing to say it, but in fact, nine years ago, I felt that your future development must not be easy. I was waiting to see if I could use the annual salary of 500,000 yuan to find a leak, but I still didn't expect it, I still underestimated your potential."

"Although I can't be a partner at work, it's not bad to be a partner in business," Lu Zhou smiled and said softly, "It's better to continue the greetings at lunch, let's get straight to the point. I hear My CEO said, did you encounter any technically insoluble problems?"

"That's right," Wang Wei nodded and continued, "Actually, we have been studying your paper for a while."

Lu Zhou thought for a while and said, "Which article are you referring to?"

He has published a lot of papers, just by saying that, he really can't remember which one this President Wang is referring to.

"It's the article about the drone logistics system." Having said that, Wang Wei sighed softly, "I'm ashamed to say that the engineers of our research institute have spent several years, according to what you proposed in the paper. I have studied the blueprint, but I still haven’t seen much results. We can’t think of any other better way than to ask for your help.”

It was originally the paper.

As soon as he heard Wang Wei mentioning this matter, Lu Zhou couldn't help but laugh.

If he remembers correctly, those ten papers should be the things he submitted to the water journals to collect data in order to complete the system tasks.

Although it cost him 25 points to redeem it, except for a few half-developed algorithms, no substantive problems have been solved. It's so strange!

"...That was just something I made on a whim when I was a student, and it can't be used as a serious research result for reference."

Upon hearing Lu Zhou's words, Wang Wei said quickly.

"Academician Lu, you are too modest! But to tell you the truth, the study of drone logistics is not entirely based on your papers, but we have always invested resources in this concept as a research and development direction."

"After all, the cost of hiring a courier is about 10,000 yuan, and the price of a drone can be done for less than 8,000 yuan. And from the perspective of efficiency, the flexibility of drones in space, Being able to easily cross areas that would take a lot of time for people and vehicles to reach. Instead, we only need to pay for drones with cheap electricity and basic maintenance costs.”

"We are currently planning to start an unmanned delivery pilot in Shenzhen City, and we have even reached out to the local government. However, the current situation is that our research and development work has fallen into a bottleneck."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhou said, "Can you elaborate?"

Wang Wei nodded and continued.

"The problems we encounter are mainly reflected in two points, one is safety, and the other is delivery efficiency. To put it bluntly, it is necessary to take into account the safety of goods and the safety of pedestrians at the same time, and to adapt to dynamically changing traffic. Especially like In areas with high population density such as first-tier cities, the air space is strictly controlled."

"The bottom line we made with the city government is to ensure that there will be zero pedestrian accidents during the half-year trial operation period. That is to say, only if there is no traffic accident can we extend our license. If a drone or cargo falls from the sky and hits a person, the license of the entire drone delivery pilot will be revoked directly.”

Lu Zhou nodded.

"It's really a little tricky."

"It's more than difficult," Wang Wei smiled wryly, and continued, "It's been too long to pass the test. The director of our research institute told me that if he doesn't lower the standard, he won't know what to do. gone."

In fact, drone delivery is nothing new. In some remote areas that are inconvenient for people and vehicles to reach, Shunfeng Group tried to use drones in the delivery process as early as a few years ago.

However, this technology has not been popularized because of the high cost.

That is, in recent years, the breakthrough of nuclear fusion technology has completely liberated production capacity, lowered the prices of many industrial products, and reduced the cost of electricity to a negligible level, which made it possible to fully promote this technology.

But having said that, they still encountered many difficulties when promoting the application scenarios of this technology from remote mountainous areas to cities.

After all, in densely populated cities, especially first-tier cities, it is too dangerous to fly drones in the sky. If one fell off and hit a person or a car, the compensation alone would probably be enough to punish them and make them bankrupt.

Not to mention some passers-by with extremely poor quality may lose their basic awe because the delivery object is a drone, and take the initiative to shoot down the drone with slingshots, stones and the like, and pick up the delivery.

Therefore, they now need a solution that can perfectly control the avant-garde concept of "drone logistics". After seeing the news of the completion of the Xinghai No. 1 Quantum Supercomputing Center, Wang Wei began to think about cooperating with Xingkong Technology, especially when he thought that Lu Zhou seemed to have studied the drone logistics system before, this idea became more and more serious. is strong.

After patiently listening to what Wang Wei said, Lu Zhou tapped his index finger on the table, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I probably know your question."

Upon hearing these words, Wang Wei immediately perked up and sat upright. However, just when he thought Lu Zhou would express some insight, he was stunned by his next sentence.

"...To be honest, this is not a particularly big problem."

"No, it's not a particularly big problem?" With an unbelievable expression on his face, Wang Wei asked quickly, "What's the explanation for this sentence?"

"It's literally."

After a pause, Lu Zhou continued.

"In fact, the use of drones in the field of logistics... There are already pilot factories in Jinling High-tech Park that are doing this, but it has not yet been promoted due to cost and safety reasons."

"For example, the 'Worker Bee' logistics drone distribution system we adopted is provided by Xinghai No. 1 as a cloud computing service. The maximum safe load of a single drone is about 10kg, and it is mainly used to cooperate with automated logistics vehicles to complete single product parts. running between job shops."

With that said, Lu Zhou looked at his watch and stood up from his chair.

"Just saying that, I guess you can't understand what I'm talking about."

"Well, now is just the time."

"If you're interested, I'll take you to have a look."
