Not long after, the two arrived near Baidu Yanjing's headquarters.
The Baidu headquarters building in Yanjing was built relatively early. Compared with the skyscraper office buildings later built by Baidu Penguin and other companies in Shenzhen, the height is much different. The headquarters building here in Yanjing is only six or seven stories high.
Han Ci looked at it from a distance and felt a little disappointed, "It's far less impressive than I imagined."
"Haha, how can it be considered grand? It has to be twenty or thirty stories high, and it also has a sense of design?" Meng Fanqi said with a smile. This kind of statement and feeling seemed to lack practical experience. "If I had to choose, it would definitely be like this six or seven. A spacious office building with 2 floors is good.”
"Twenty or thirty floors, a long and thin building like chopsticks. The six elevators provided by the central center are far from enough. You have to find someone to go up and down at every turn. Every time, the elevator is packed like corn on the cob, full of grains. . I get overweight all the time. I may not be able to get up to the elevator after waiting three times. It’s great to be on the sixth or seventh floor. Even if I take the stairs in three minutes, I’m almost at the top.”
"That's very impressive. What, have you ever done it in there?" Han Ci frowned slightly, always feeling that Meng Fanqi's reaction was a bit strange when he mentioned this matter.
Meng Fanqi chuckled and stopped complaining.
He was indeed inspired by this. Although he did not work at Baidu's Yanjing headquarters in his previous life, he worked for Baidu and BitDouble respectively in Caohejing, Shanghai for a period of time.
When talking about work-related things in the familiar science and technology park, I couldn't help but talk a few more words.
In contrast, Meng Fanqi feels that Baidu's overall work intensity and degree of involution are relatively light among large factories, and of course the rewards are relatively less.
The front desk on the first floor of Baidu is quite vast, with a floor height of nearly three floors. It is quite impressive when you look inside.
As soon as I came in, the receptionist at the front desk came up and asked, "Hello, what do you two want? Do you have an appointment?"
At this time, the reservation management system is not that smart yet, and it still relies on human communication to a large extent. After Meng Fanqi explained the situation, the lady at the front desk began to check the records and check the name of the receptionist.
When she saw the query results, including the three characters "Li Yanhong", her expression changed slightly.
She had only been on the job for a few weeks, and she had never had direct contact with anyone in the CEO's office.
The key is that the two people in front of me look young, they feel like they are around 20 years old at most.
Did they really have an appointment with Mr. Li directly? The front desk employee was muttering to himself, but he still didn't dare to neglect what he had on hand. I picked up the landline and dialed the internal number of the CEO's office. Soon, the other person answered the phone.
"CEO's office, Secretary Liu."
"Hello, Secretary Liu, two young men came downstairs and said they had an appointment with Mr. Li. I'll check with you here."
"Two young people?" Secretary Liu didn't react for a moment. The people Li Yanhong met on weekdays were quite large, no matter how old they were, but at least they came as a team, at least three or five.
I seem to have only met the undergraduate student from Yanjing Electric Power University next door once recently. He is considered a young man.
After quickly confirming the name, Secretary Liu quickly conveyed it to Li Yanhong.
The front desk staff downstairs did not dare to neglect, and quickly asked the two of them to sit in the rest area next to them, prepared some tea, and informed the two that someone would come down to pick them up soon, and asked them to wait patiently.
"This kind of treatment is really uncomfortable." Meng Fanqi said softly. He had never received such treatment when he visited other large factories in the past. After signing at the front desk, you can contact someone to come and pick you up.
It is not difficult to lead the way and prepare a glass of water. The key was that Meng Fanqi was not used to the respect he felt from the attitude and tone of the sister at the front desk.
We didn't wait long, and soon several people came down. The leader, Li Yanhong, wore familiar trousers and a shirt with the Baidu LOGO on the chest, and walked with his head held high.
He was followed by two middle-aged men who looked high-status at first glance. They seemed to be managers or technicians from the Deep Learning Research Institute.
Next to her, there was a pretty young woman who Meng Fanqi guessed was a secretary.
"Wow! Look! Robin Li!" Han Ci waited for a while, a little bored, and suddenly saw a famous figure, as if Columbus discovered the New World, and quickly reminded Meng Fanqi softly.
"I really didn't expect to see such a well-known figure during this trip." The person with the highest status that Han Ci came into contact with in his daily life was Academician Hubei.
Logically speaking, the social status of Academician Hubei is definitely not lower than that of entrepreneurs like Li Yanhong. But in terms of popularity, after all, there is still a lot of difference.
"I remember he is now the richest man in China, right?" Since he was idle anyway, Han Ci took out his cell phone to check.
But just after unlocking it, I discovered that something seemed wrong with the whereabouts of this group of people.
"Why are they walking straight towards us?" Han Ci looked around and saw that there were several groups of visitors around where the two of them were sitting. But it seemed that they were also very surprised by the appearance of Robin Li himself, and had no intention of getting up to greet him.
"Because he came to see me." Meng Fanqi replied softly.
"...Didn't you say you came to Baidu to hand over your new algorithm?" Han Ci was speechless. She was completely unprepared to face Robin Li directly.
It was sudden and a little awkward. "I'm so nervous!"
"I came to Baidu to hand over the algorithm, but it was Robin Li who was directly connected. There seems to be no problem with the logic." Seeing that several people were gradually approaching, Meng Fanqi also stood up.
"They are here to connect with me. Why are you nervous? Just get to know them together."
Seeing Meng Fanqi start to move forward to greet him, the visitors and employees around him were also very surprised.
"Wow... this is the first time I have met Mr. Li in person. I have been working for more than half a year."
"You have only been working for half a year. I have been working for almost two years, and I have only seen you once or twice at the annual meeting."
"Who is that young man? Does anyone know him? Mr. Li personally received him and made it so formal. Who is he?"
"To have such a celebrity status at such a young age, my God, I can't tell at all..."
"Is it weird that I'm the only one paying attention? The young girl next to him is so beautiful..."
"Mr. Li, let's go up and talk first." Meng Fanqi stepped forward quickly and shook hands with Robin Li, "This is my thesis collaborator, Han Ci from Yenching University. Today we were working on some content, and suddenly we received When Mr. Li called, she had nowhere to go, so she came over together."
"It doesn't matter. If I can collaborate with you on a paper, I must be an outstanding young talent." Li Yanhong smiled at Han Ci and said, "Let me introduce, this is the executive vice president of our institute, Yu Kai, the person next to him is Wang Haifeng, our chief technology officer in the algorithm direction."
"Your results shocked us very much. As soon as you came, the top management of our institute was mobilized." Li Yanhong joked with a smile, then turned to two colleagues and said, "This is The AI technology genius I told you about is Meng Fanqi."
