If Cheng Gang had not completely lost power in the internal power struggle, Zhang Weimin would not have thought about leaving.
The challenges of working at Kechuang Biotech mainly come from strategic aspects.
In the technical field, Zheng Li has comprehensive control, and Zhang Weimin does not need and has no room to intervene.
His main job is to consider the application fields of brain-computer connection and how to cooperate with other companies to expand influence.
Backed by state-of-the-art brain-computer connection technology, this job is neither very demanding nor challenging.
Therefore, after his immediate boss changed, Zhang Weimin felt full of crisis. No one knew whether he would be laid off.
It just so happened that the opportunity of neuralink was presented to him. It was only natural for him to go from America to China and then make the decision to return to America.
Even though he has become the general manager of neuralink and neuralink has a new major shareholder-FB, Zhang Weimin is still not optimistic about the future of neuralink.
FB has been in decline in recent years, but it is still synonymous with wealth.
There is a certain correlation between scientific research and investment, but it does not mean that companies with high investment will definitely achieve good results.
At that time, IBM's R&D investment in the field of personal computers far exceeded that of companies such as Microsoft, Dell, and Compaq. However, in the era of personal PCs, it was not IBM that shined.
After Gang Leader Qiao re-entered Apple, he significantly cut Apple's R&D investment. Apple successfully came back to life with much less R&D investment than before.
As a senior manager who has spent a lot of time in the industry and academia and has a unique understanding of scientific research, Zhang Weimin does not believe that the introduction of new shareholders and more funds will be of much help to neuralink.
For technological development, luck is sometimes more important than investment.
The reason why Musk was able to impress Zhang Weimin was that Musk's hint was very important.
Musk said that as long as they can produce brain-computer connection technology that is close to that of Kechuang Biotech, the Amerikan government will not hesitate to exclude Kechuang Biotech's products.
As for now? no.
Kechuang Biotechnology’s brain-computer-linked VR and brain-computer-linked prosthetics are very popular in the American market.
Brain-computer-connected VR is an entertainment product, and there will be no big problem if it is banned.
However, if brain-computer connected VR is banned, it will directly affect votes.
After shaking hands with Musk, Zhang Weimin said: "I believe we will succeed."
“But now the primary goal is to achieve a recognition accuracy of 95% for brain-computer connection.”
"In this way, our brain-computer connection technology can be launched on more high-end models."
"Including entering the Chinese market."
“Then comes the brain-computer connection to VR.”
"There is no problem in letting Kechuang Biotech's brain-computer VR be connected for a few years. We can learn from their solutions at that time."
From a certain perspective, Zhang Weimin is very optimistic. Because he felt it was almost impossible to catch up with Ke Chuang Bio.
But with the help of the administrative blockade, it owns the entire Amerikan market. The Amerikan market alone is enough for neuralink to become a company with a market value of over 100 billion yuan.
If it works well, it will even allow the European market to block Kechuang Biotech's products.
Of course, it would be very difficult for Europa Continent and Amerikan to jointly block a company.
But only some countries in the European continent have blocked scientific and technological biological products, and Musk is very confident.
Although some countries in the Europa continent are nominally members of the Europa Union, America's influence on them far exceeds that of the Europa Union.
...
After the pandemic era ended, Li Miaomiao basically went to the Lion City once a month.
The weather in the Lion City has gradually started to get hotter in April. The tropical rainforest climate has caused most people on the streets of Lion City to wear short-sleeves during this season.
Li Miaomiao was wearing a short professional skirt, which was somewhat out of tune with the dressing style of the entire Lion City R&D Center.
Under Zheng Li's leadership, the researchers here basically do whatever they feel comfortable with.
Except for white coats when doing experiments, most people wear short-sleeved shorts in public office areas.
Zheng Li wore a dark blue patterned short-sleeved shirt: "Did Cheng Gang have any work handovers with you during this time?"
Li Miaomiao nodded and said: "Cheng Gang has handed over most of the work to me. The personnel, finance, business and other information have been initially handed over to me."
"In addition, Zhang Weimin has also left. He went to neuralink as the general manager."
Zheng Li nodded: "I know that Zhang is a good talent, but the price offered by neuralink is beyond our reach."
Li Miaomiao: "If he leaves, he will leave. It won't have much impact on us if he leaves."
“I just didn’t expect neuralink to choose Zhang Weimin instead of paying liquidated damages.”
"Even if neuralink has Zhang joining us, they will not be able to pose any effective threat to us."
"And I heard that neuralink wanted to recruit Cheng Gang before poaching Zhang, but Cheng Gang rejected the other party's invitation."
"Musk is a little too obsessed with poaching senior executives from Science and Technology Biotechnology."
Successful companies give extra value to their employees.
Ahri's Eighteen Arhats is exactly like this.
Gu Mao
The same is true for the executives of Kechuang Biotechnology.
Cheng Gang was originally just a little-known investor. Not to mention compared to big names like Zhang Lei and Shen Nanpeng, he was far inferior to Young.
However, relying on Kechuang Biotechnology, Cheng Gang became a well-known manager in the industry, and his previous experience in the industry was also talked about.
The outside world praised his vision and courage.
From Shunwei Capital, I assisted a young man under the age of twenty to start a business.
Zheng Li sighed: "Actually, Cheng Gang's mistakes can be big or small. It's just that at this time, he is really not suitable to be the general manager anymore."
"After he leaves, I will be mainly responsible for research and development, and everything else will be under your control."
"do not let me down."
"Neuralink will have to bear the consequences if they poach people from us. We will pay attention to their movements in the future and we need to respond."
The fatigue on Li Miaomiao's face could not be concealed by makeup. "Don't worry, it started from the time we started the postgraduate entrance examination cram school at Jiangcheng University."
"I do everything smoothly."
"Time flies so fast. I will graduate from college this summer. You have to come to my graduation ceremony no matter what!"
Li Miaomiao took a break from school for a year because he and Zheng Li started a business and retained their academic status.
Later, after Kechuang Biotech went public, she returned to Jiangcheng University to study.
Due to the nature of her work, Jiangcheng University gave her some exceptions, so she could only take exams and not attend classes.
Even so, her graduation was delayed by a year.
Zheng Li thought for a while and said, "Okay, no problem."
Li Miaomiao thought for a while: "I seem to have enjoyed normal college life for half a year."
"Then I started working, and I was busy running cram schools during the first semester of my freshman year."
"I have never been to an outdoor movie at the Meiyuan playground, and I feel regretful just thinking about it."
There is a public open-air movie screening every Friday and Saturday night at the Meiyuan playground of Jiangcheng University.
And it's not an old movie, it's a movie currently being released in theaters.
There are no drawbacks except that the seats are limited and most people have to stand to watch.
After all with free movies, you can't ask for too much.
Zheng Li felt the regret in Li Miaomiao's heart, and said, "You buy a ticket, and I will go to a movie with you."
"Isn't the latest "Fantastic Beasts 4" released recently?"
"We can go and see it together."
Li Miaomiao seemed to want to get to know Zheng Li again. After standing up and circling around Zheng Li, he asked, "Are you the Zheng Li I know?"
"The ultimate invincible otaku, scientific geek, and non-social animal, you actually asked to go out to watch a movie with me?"
"Am I hallucinating or are you crazy?"
Li Miaomiao couldn't help but want to complain:
"Zheng Li, you have changed. You never watched movies before."
"I was at Jiangcheng University at that time. When "Blade Runner 2077" was released, there was a free movie at the Meiyuan playground. I asked you to go to see it but you didn't go."
"What happened to you today?"
Zheng Li stretched out his hand to signal her to be quiet: "Are you going? If you don't go, forget it."
Li Miaomiao quickly took out her mobile phone to book tickets: "Of course, why not?"
"I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter."
"You haven't answered my question yet. What are you thinking about today, and you suddenly want to go to a movie?"
Zheng Li explained: "Isn't magic very popular recently? I just want to go and have a look."
"Maybe it can give me some inspiration for mining magic coins."
Zheng Li suggested that there were many reasons for going to the movies. First, it happened that Li Miaomiao mentioned it.
On the other hand, in the latest "Fantastic Beasts 4", Warner Bros. claimed that there was an Easter egg of Merlin in it.
He also stated that after the "Fantastic Beasts" series ends, he will film the story of the ancient wizard Merlin along the Harry Potter worldview.
Even in the world of Harry Potter, Merlin is a famous character, although he only exists on the Chocolate Frog card.
Zheng Li also wanted to see how Blue Star planned to shoot the avatar of Merlin.
After all, he borrowed this vest.
"Meet you at Universal Studios on Sentosa Island at 8:30 pm."
"I have to go back and touch up my makeup after the second half."
