Shenhao started after the college entrance examination

‘Ding!’

‘Random task: Acquire the entire quantum computer project team of Xiongzhang Company and enter the field of quantum computers.’

‘Mission reward: Qian Xiangdong, a special talent in the ion trap quantum computer research program. '

Are the tasks triggered again?

An Liang originally planned to acquire the quantum computer project of Xiongzhang Company.

For Xiongzhang Company, the quantum computer project is a waste that is worthless and a pity to abandon. After all, Xiongzhang Company’s quantum computer project started too late, and the technology is backward, so it is reluctant to invest in research and development funds.

Under such circumstances, apart from picking up people's teeth, what else does it do?

However, Anliang is different. If Anliang fully takes over the quantum computer project of Xiongzhang Company, he will invest a huge amount of research and development funds and recruit talents in the field of quantum computers around the world.

An Liang is willing to invest billions, tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of dollars in the field of quantum computers without knowing the future, but is Bear Paw Company willing?

The profit level of Xiongzhang Company is rather confusing. It fluctuates from high to low, making it hard to understand.

For example, in 2017, Xiongzhang Company's annual operating income was 84.8 billion Xia Guoyuan, and its net profit was 18.3 billion Xia Guoyuan.

In 2018, Xiongzhao Company's annual operating income increased to 102.3 billion Xia Guoyuan, and its net profit also rose to 27.6 billion Xia Guoyuan. Everything looks good, right?

However, in 2019, although the annual operating income further increased to 107.4 billion Xia Guoyuan, the net profit dropped to 18.2 billion Xia Guoyuan.

The reason for the increase in annual operating income but the decline in net profit is due to various factors, including boycotts of the core advertising business and more funds invested in research and development.

In the first half of 2020, profits also fell year-on-year, and even operating income fell.

In view of the above-mentioned profit situation and the fact that Baidu is a listed company and shareholders have to pursue profit margins, even Li Hongyan cannot arbitrarily invest large amounts of money in research and development.

Therefore, the quantum computer project is really useless to Xiongzhang Company.

Li Hongyan is certainly not a fool. An Liang has shown such obvious interest in the quantum computer project, how could Li Hongyan not see it?

"Mr. An is interested in the quantum computer project?"Li Hongyan asked knowingly.

An Liang said straight to the point,"I'm a little interested. In the field of traditional computers, we cannot catch up. Whether it is patent barriers or technical blockades, it is very difficult for us."

"In the field of quantum computers, although we are still lagging behind, at least we can see the backs of other opponents. Moreover, quantum computers are a new technology field. No one can guarantee that their research and development direction is correct, so we have a chance!"An Liang expressed his attitude again.

"Mr. Li, according to our investigation, since you established the quantum computer project in 2018, your total investment has been only about 370 million, and your subsequent investment budget is limited, so your research and development progress is slow."An Liang added.

This internal information of Xiongzhang Company naturally comes from the former employees of Xiongzhang Company's quantum computer project who were poached.

"I would like to ask, how much R&D funds do you plan to invest in quantum computer projects this year?" An Liang asked bluntly.

Li Hongyan was a little embarrassed. He thought about it for a moment and finally did not hide it."Actually, to be honest with Mr. An, the status of the quantum computer project within us is indeed a little embarrassing."

"Although the quantum computer project is our core technology project, Mr. An’s analysis just now is correct. We started late in the field of quantum computers and our technology is lagging behind. Currently, some shareholders are very dissatisfied with the quantum computer project, so its R&D funds are also relatively small. few."Li Hongyan confessed

"According to our internal budget, the research and development funds for the quantum computer project will only be approximately 100 million throughout this year."Li Hongyan said the exact number.

One hundred million is an astronomical figure for ordinary people.

But for cutting-edge technology research, it is just a drop in the ocean and has no big effect at all.

"A bit less, right? An Liang asked back.

Li Hongyan did not refute,"It's a bit small, so is Mr. An willing to cooperate?""

"No problem at all!"An Liang responded affirmatively.

But Li Hongyan looked at An Liang suspiciously. He just invited An Liang to cooperate on the artificial intelligence project, but An Liang flatly refused and even spoke in secret.

Within Xiong Zhang Company, if the quantum computer project is said to be useless , then the artificial intelligence system is his own son!

Bear Palm Company has almost no budget restrictions on artificial intelligence projects.

Artificial intelligence projects require supercomputers, so Bear Palm Company has set up a separate supercomputer for the artificial intelligence project, and it is only used for the development of artificial intelligence projects. Use. If the artificial intelligence project requires more budget, Xiong Zhang Company dares to give more budget. If you want 100 million, give 100 million, if you want one billion, give one billion. If you want more, as long as there is reasonable expenditure, Bear Palm Company I will also support it.

Isn’t this kind of treatment a biological son?
