Tech Life Chapter 1399-1400

 Chapter 1399

"Our Future Technology Group is slightly better and has made a little achievement, but most of the other domestic technology companies, they are not so good, especially since the netizens are quite demanding of them."


        "Does that mean that any achievements are not reported? None of them are advertised?"


        "This is a huge tangled issue for many research institutions and technology companies, and in fact what I'm trying to say is that whether it's a university college co-op or a technology company, they should all advertise their academic results or technological achievements in a dignified manner."


        "A decade or two ago you said it was fine to keep a low profile and to keep a low profile, but now you can't even if you want to, our country is so hairy and now the whole world is watching you, how else can you keep a low profile? Is it not a lie to yourself?"


        "To use an internet buzzword, even if we want to keep a low profile now, our strength doesn't allow it."


        "Can't hoodwink it!"


        "In fact, foreigners are very incomprehensible, said you Chinese people obviously so ...... foreigners use the word power, your power is very powerful still say they can not, so foreigners are very incomprehensible, think you guys are not honest, strange, foreigners are also a little suspicious. "


        "Actually we are very strong now, it's an objective reality that doesn't depend on individual will, foreigners recognise it, especially in the West, but it's interesting that there are parts of the country that don't realise it instead."


        "The physical muscles have been built up, but the brain thinking, self-confidence may not have kept up, so foreigners feel that you Chinese people are weird in this place, haha."


        "I think now non-towers can't also can't towers, now is the best time to absorb global talent, in the context of today's new era also has a new thinking concept, our major domestic universities and colleges or major technology companies, should be bold enough to open their arms to embrace a large number of scientists back home."


        "The times are always changing, what remains the same is how to adapt to the changing times, if you still continue to think about hiding your light, still think about digging deep and accumulating food, holding the mentality of holding steady and not making waves, you will definitely miss the times."


        "We are a big country, a mega country, with a population of 1.4-5 billion, born to do great things, you must not carry the flag when you shouldn't, you must carry it when you should, and you are not going to carry it now."


        "Not the Lord go to make your voice heard, you even if you have in a huge grand plan, but the excellent scientists do not see and do not know your claim he will certainly not come."


        "Career is made by people, with people can do things, so there is no need for colleges and universities to keep a low profile, to strengthen open cooperation, so that talent can be attracted."


        "For scientific researchers also have to dare to announce the results, so that people can see the value of your research, all day long cover others do not know certainly will not support you, the capital certainly will not support you."


        "Colleges and universities are the high point of talent strategy, we at Coastline have opened ourselves up to receive these scientists globally, we are not stingy with scientific careers."


        "With this funding of 4 billion for the University of Science and Technology and more in the future, we hope to contribute our share of the power of capital to enable the blowout of basic research and promote the development of technological applications and the prosperity and progress of scientific and technological civilisation."


        "Thank you all."


        Li Linfei spoke off script throughout, and just as his final words fell, the multimedia hall resounded with long-lasting and enthusiastic applause ......


        The multimedia hall applauded, and the viewers watching the live broadcast were also pop-up hot chats.


        The pop-ups were saying that somehow it caused a burst of extreme comfort, that this place should swell, etc.


        The enthusiastic applause gradually fell, but Li Linfei did not leave immediately, he remained on stage.


        At this point, the host came on stage, microphone in hand, "Thank you Mr. Li for your wonderful speech, so due to time constraints we will move directly to the next question and answer session."


        "During your speech, Mr. Li, we received small notes from the audience and selected some of them, and also collected questions from netizens online."


        The moderator swirled to the small card in his hand and asked, "Let's look at the questions from the students on the floor first, the first question: Future Technology has now fully laid out its network, terminal and enterprise network, what is the strategic direction regarding the Internet of Things, edge computing and distributed computing?"


        Li Linfei thought for a moment and then replied, "The IoT is a window of opportunity that we will vigorously pursue in the future, we set up LifeLight with the intention of working to drive the well-spring development of the IoT, the foundation of the IoT lies in connectivity, and the core is the diversity of species, which is consistent with the strategy of Future Technology."


        "Connectivity includes within it what you call edge computing, distributed computing and so on, but we do the basic level."


        "I've been asked what the future society will look like. I'm not a futurist, I can't say, and futurists aren't always right, with the help of a rumour out there that the end of physics is mathematics, the end of mathematics is philosophy, and the end of philosophy is theology."


        "For the description of the future, perhaps only God knows, and for me, taking the initiative to describe the inscription has the potential to get a hint of the future."


        Seeing Li Linfei nodding, the moderator whirled around and took up the conversation, "The second question, regarding the application aspect of ai technology, is there any application in supply chain, finance and economics, manufacturing and quality management? How are uncertainty decisions in the marketplace used, for example?"


        Li Linfei: "In fact we have moved further from research to the application stage for ai long ago, our representative product in this field is Little Voice Assistant, we are trying to make ai sit on the ground, don't vapourise it."


        "Otherwise, if you are not mature in the development of ai products, you dare not venture into a big investment, and in the process of making management simple, you reserve a lot of back-up talent for the product, and we know that the ai boom has come and gone several times."


        "Due to this mechanism, even if the whole society ai investment is in a bubble in the future, we can stand firm on our heels and not panic in our hearts, once the bubble bursts, we recruit a large number of talents from the society who think deeply about failure and fill them into our team to realise the advantage of back-up, ai is winner takes all."


        "We are at a congenital disadvantage as Coastline was founded less than three or four years ago, so we need to love the best talent from unsuccessful companies."


Chapter 1400

The host swirled around and gestured for Li Linfei to look at the large screen behind him, which was clearly a large floating screen with a holographic display made possible through phc equipment, and the audience was focused on the screen.


        "Here is the question we have chosen from the netizens, this one is interesting, especially coincidentally because he is an employee of Coastline, and an overseas national at that."


        The moderator smiled and then looked at the message on the screen and read, "I am a German national but I am proud to have joined FutureTech, having been with the company for over two years, having had barriers to integration and communication at the beginning and gradually integrated into the team and the project during this time."


        "As an expatriate employee, what would be your best advice for growing and developing professionally at FutureTech, boss?"


        Li Linfei smiled, "I don't know which employee, but I would say that growth and development has nothing to do with country, whether you are Chinese, German, British, French or American, and it should have nothing to do with ethnicity, race, faith or gender, etc."


        "We are a commercial multinational company, there is no question of labels, a PhD is a PhD, there is no distinction between race, country, ethnicity, creed or anything like that, there is only the distinction between good and bad, fit and proper, and of course pre-doctoral."


        Moderator: "One last question from a netizen called Forward for the Motherland: how will future technology companies go about competing in the new windows and opportunities of the future?"


        Looking at the message on the big floating screen, Li Linfei thought about it and replied with a smile, "First of all, I don't think we have any competitors, we are mainly united with everyone to serve human society, so the more partners we have the better, not that we are going to be the only one in Future Technology."


        "But to say that is not to say that we are humble and great and want to nourish the land and make other crops grow better by turning our own deaths into fertiliser, no."


        "So not only do we have to live and nourish ourselves, but others have to live and nourish themselves, and together we make a reasonable contribution to human society."


        "If we want to be clear about our competitors, I think it's whether we ourselves have forgotten our beginnings, and the ambition of FutureTech has never changed: to bring science fiction into reality."


        ......


        After his trip to KU, his trip to the Efficient College came to a successful conclusion, and many other universities in China were actually interested in inviting Li Linfei to attend some events to speak and so on.


        However, a big bully like him cannot be invited by just anyone.


        After leaving the University of Science and Technology and returning to the Shenkeng Hotel, I was ready to leave early tomorrow morning to go back to the company.


        There is no doubt that this trip to the University of Science and Technology Li Linfei is an indirect response to the recent rhythm of some domestic media, after all, the coastline is now too big, too easy to suffer fire, every time a little movement, the rhythm of the sky followed, online with the rhythm has not stopped, the difference is just the size.


        Li Linfei didn't have the luxury of trying to quell the rhythm with a trip to KU, because a new rhythm had emerged.


        The rhythm party immediately seized on the question of why over US$6 billion was given to European universities and over US$3 billion to domestic universities? Questions were thrown out and then the conclusion that FutureTech was eating out of the bag was decisively drawn, the same familiar formula as before.


        But this is not the point, the real point is that Li Linfei through this trip frequent appearances in domestic and foreign universities and institutions, let the world see the Future Technology Group has opened its arms to absorb talent sincerity and urgent demand.


        Future Technology needs a lot of talented people, without the slightest concealment, the world knows that Future Technology Group is going to play big this time.


        And it's not just about telling an exciting story, it's about taking real action.


        When Li Linfei spoke at the University of Science and Technology on the afternoon of the 17th, the official website of the Future Technology Group officially announced a total R&D budget of US$30 billion for next year 2023.


        Equivalent to rmb150+ billion.


        Whether at home or abroad, those whose annual revenue can reach this amount are globally renowned giant companies.


        This announcement shook the world, Future Technology Group's R&D investment became the world's number one in one fell swoop, a dazzling figure that the world could not ignore, and undoubtedly drew the attention of global technology talent to Future Technology Group.


        The world's major well-known giant companies, mainly international technology giants, have announced their R&D budget spending for next year, and 2023 is not even here yet, and they are already competing.


        The European Commission has ranked the industrial R&D investment of various countries and regions around the world, in the top100 list of companies, North America occupies 31, while China, Germany and Japan respectively have 18, 13 and 11 and others, the vast majority of which are high-tech companies.


        According to the EU's ranking, the top of the list is clearly the Coastline Group, with a budget of eur€20 billion for research and development, and the second is Amazon, with a budget of eur€18.1 billion for research and development spending next year, compared to Amazon's historical figure of eur€19.7 billion at one point, which shows that the company is slowing down.


        Amazon spent $22.6 billion on research and development in 2017. In fact, Amazon is not just an online shopping mall, it has been investing heavily in aws, alexal and other areas of computer visionary technology to lay the foundations for a cashless shop in the future.


        However, this company's R&D investment is temporarily disproportionate to its output, and Amazon's P/E ratio is frighteningly high.


        The companies in 3rd to 6th place are alphabet Google's parent company, Microsoft, scratch and Intel, which have budgets of €12.85 billion, €12.286 billion, €12.165 billion and €12.07 billion respectively for R&D spending next year.


        It is worth mentioning that Samsung Electronics, which once occupied the first place in the global R&D investment companies, fell out of the top ten this time. The data is the most intuitive information feedback, which has led to another enduring hot issue of technology is the first productive force.


        And technology talent is the core driver of this. The world's leading international technology giants have spared no expense in this field to launch a fierce competition for technology talent. This is the best of times, and as long as you have talent, you are not afraid of not having a stage to show it.
