Chapter 875 Selection

Khosrowshahi himself could not find a reason to win, and he began to consider not confronting Gale Group head-on, but making a fuss about the market.

However, as an online car-hailing platform, Uber can consider strategically exiting some markets first, but another company cannot.

That is Google.

Google's current focus is precisely on unmanned driving backed by the US Department of Defense.

Many people know the relationship between Space Exploration Corporation and NASA, but many people don't seem to know the relationship between Google's unmanned driving and the US Department of Defense.

In fact, the two are somewhat similar.

This is also the key to Google's daring to bet on unmanned driving, and it is for this reason that throughout February, Google's top executives traveled frequently in the United States.

Where will Google go next, the new history will give the answer sooner or later.

At the end of February, Dafeng Group's overseas expansion through 5G+ is getting faster and faster, while in China, Hangzhou was crowded again just after the new year, and there were people everywhere.

Seeing that Hangzhou, a new first-tier city, is getting more and more popular, those old first-tier cities in China can't sit still anymore. Yanjing, Shanghai, and Shencheng have introduced 5G smart city construction plans. Drive the bus main city test.

Shanghai has become the second open city for cloud games, and will host the "Ancient Warfare" global competition in 2018. At that time, the competition will fully introduce 5G technology.

As for Yanjing, it will focus on 5G+ traffic to relieve the traffic pressure in Yanjing.

The 5G+ competition between domestic cities has already started.

At this time, the Dafeng Group is also experiencing high-intensity internal competition.

2018 is the first year of Dafeng Group's 18-year-old new start plan. The global laboratory specially built for the fourth industrial revolution will also be launched soon. A large number of R&D personnel want to go to the global laboratory.

In fact, it includes those who want to be transferred within the company, as well as those who come out of society or schools. Due to the large number of applicants, Dafeng Group had to adopt a strict selection system at the same time.

The selection will start on the second day after returning from work in the new year. The selection will last for a month, and finally the first batch of people who will enter the global laboratory will be selected. It is estimated that 6,000 people will participate in the selection, and the number of people participating in the selection will exceed 6 million.

Meng Qian also went to check the latest situation from time to time during this period. On March 6th, Meng Qian finished his work and was thinking about going to see today's selection situation. Fang Chen suddenly came to Meng Qian's office , looking a little excited.

"What's wrong?" Meng Qian rarely saw Fang Chen have such an expression.

Fang Chen directly put the tablet in front of Meng Qian, and Meng Qian glanced at it. This is the latest "Nature" magazine, and two articles in a row reported the important discovery of graphene superconductivity.

The first authors of these two "Nature" papers are both Ph.D. students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cao Yuan from Huaxia.

"It's him." Meng Qian said something in his heart, and nodded in approval, "It's a talent."

"This talent is in our company now!" Fang Chen's voice changed a little.

"In our company?" Meng Qian did not expect this.

"He is participating in the selection of global laboratories."

Fang Chen explained, and Meng Qian suddenly felt reasonable. A top talent like this would definitely want to go to a top world-class laboratory, not to mention that Cao Yuan was able to make the decision to return to China under the background of the past, let alone the current life China's Huaxia is too friendly to talents.

"You want to let him pass directly."

"Just based on these two papers, I believe it is enough to convince others, right?"

Meng Qian signaled Fang Chen to sit first, "This kid is capable, so he will naturally pass this selection. You don't have to be so anxious. If you want to train him well, you can wait until he enters the laboratory before getting in touch with him."

Fang Chen looked at Meng Qian with some doubts, "Mr. Meng has always cared about the talent the most, why doesn't he seem to care this time?"

Meng Qian smiled meaningfully, "Old Fang, this kid still goes to school in the United States. If I show too much concern for him now, aren't you afraid that he will get into trouble in the United States?"

"This..." Fang Chen's expression changed from excitement to worry.

"One more thing, you and I both know that R&D results require both strength and luck, and I never think that luck is a part of strength, luck is luck, as long as we don't care too much about luck.

For Cao Yuan, his strength and luck have met. He is a very talented person and a very lucky person, but many talents lack a little bit of luck.

You ask me if I care about talents like Cao Yuan, of course I do, and I really want to meet him now, but from the perspective of Dafeng Group’s overall talent plan, when we are still weak, we have to seek talents. Help us, but when we are as strong as we are today, we should help talents improve their luck.

Use the platform we prepared, the equipment we prepared, the materials we prepared, the technology we prepared, and the environment we prepared to help them improve the success rate of R&D, so that more talented people can pay off their efforts. This may be my current more concerned about things. "

Fang Chen understood what Meng Qian meant, and nodded silently, "Then I'll go see him after he passes the selection."

Meng Qian stopped talking, and a few days later, Cao Yuan did pass the selection.

Meng Qian went to observe this group of evaluations, and also encountered one thing.

Cao Yuan was unanimously approved without controversy, but a man named Mu Yuankai in this group got a lot of controversy.

Meng Qian, who was listening, couldn't help asking, "What's the situation with Mu Yuankai?"

"Mr. Meng, Mu Yuankai is a private scientist who was recommended by the Pure Land Laboratory. He graduated from an ordinary undergraduate university. After graduation, he has been engaged in sales work. Entered the Pure Land Laboratory, and was recommended by the Pure Land Laboratory to participate in this selection last year because of the discovery of some evidence of quasi-crystal superconductivity.

But this person’s foundation is really poor, he doesn’t have any systematic education foundation, and the experiments are all wild. In fact, it is quite suitable for the Pure Land Laboratory, but if we let him go to the Global Laboratory, we don’t think it is suitable. "

Meng Qian took a careful look at Mu Yuankai's message, and a strange emotion began to arise, "I want to meet this person."

Everyone was a little surprised, but they didn't say much. Later, when Mu Yuankai came to Meng Qian's office, Meng Qian could see the embarrassment on his face, "Sit down."

"Thank you." Mu Yuankai was only one year younger than Meng Qian, but he seemed very nervous in front of Meng Qian.

"Do you know why I'm looking for you?"

Mu Yuankai shook his head.

"I want to chat with you."

"chat?"

"Well, I'm a little curious about your experience. You have been in sales after graduation, why did you switch to research and development in your thirties?"

Mu Yuankai's eyes suddenly became cloudy, "I have been very interested in physics since I was a child, but my family made money gradually replaced the word physics in my brain.

No, I can’t say it’s a substitute, it’s a entanglement, that is, I really want to make money, and I really want to do physics, but sometimes I think, I don’t love physics so much, if I do, I probably don’t think about money Things have happened, but every time I want to give up physics, I can't bear it. I struggle with it for a long, long time, even after graduation.

After graduation, I still chose to work in sales, because people have to live, but it is really painful, not the pain of work, but the pain of making money for the sake of making money.

Mr. Meng, you have always encouraged research and development and encouraged everyone to go to school. I admire you very much, but what I admire most is that you have always insisted on education and poverty alleviation. Studying hard is actually a luxury for many people, let alone It is too extravagant to talk about research and development, especially the kind of interest-based research and development.

Originally, my life may have passed like this. After all, I have been convincing myself, and I have been convincing myself that I don’t like physics. After all, how can the poor have the qualifications to love it.

But by coincidence, when I thought I had completely accepted the reality, the Pure Land Laboratory suddenly became popular. After I learned about the situation of the Pure Land Laboratory, I chose to resign impulsively without knowing why. Not sure why, but I couldn't resist quitting.

Because I was thirty years old that year, I really wanted to do something I wanted to do. "

"And then?" Seeing Mu Yunkai suddenly fell silent, Meng Qian took the initiative to ask.

"Then I realized that I am so ordinary, I don't even know how to use the most basic experimental equipment." Mu Yuankai's eyes became more cloudy, as if something covered his eyes.

"But you made a very important discovery last year."

"That's what I paid for with all my life." Mu Yunkai still didn't talk about his experience in the Pure Land Laboratory in detail, maybe he didn't want to recall it, maybe he didn't want to be miserable in front of Meng Qian, "but I worked my ass off to get to this point, I heard that there are people in the Neon Country who are also developing this direction, and they have more important discoveries than me."

"Then why do you still want to participate in the global laboratory selection?"

"Because I am not reconciled." Mu Kaiyuan blurted out, "I have realized in the past few years that there are indeed no fairy tales and counterattacks in the adult world, but... I would rather die on the road to counterattack than live in giving up. "

"Did you just say that someone in Neon Country is doing the same research and development as you?"

"Um."

"The opponent should be very powerful."

"They're all from well-known universities."

"Then it's better than this. You've been working hard for so long anyway. If you can finish this discovery before those talented students from the Neon Country, I'll let you enter the Global Lab. In addition, if you If you don't dislike the fact that I'm only one year older than you, I now have a plan to recruit apprentices, and I like you very much."

Mu Yuankai looked at Meng Qian puzzled, "Why...Mr. Meng?"

Meng Qian showed a gentle smile, "What you said just now is not quite right, the adult world is not without fairy tales and counterattacks, but almost no fairy tales and counterattacks, so those very few fairy tales and counterattacks are like It is the only ray of light in the dark night.

We want the world to see the darkness of this world clearly, but we also want to let the world see the light in the darkness. This world is easy to disappoint, but it is never hopeless.

So when I am lucky enough to find a light, I want to make this light shine even more. "

Mu Yuankai looked at Meng Qian with his mouth open, unable to calm down for a long time, "Boss Meng."

At this moment, Meng Qian glanced at He Jingtong who had been standing beside him, and then at Mu Yuankai, "Do you dare?"

After two seconds of silence, Mu Yuankai couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Do you dare? What else can I not dare to do?"

Meng Qian also smiled, "Then it's settled."
