Outside the North Fourth Ring Road, Xiyuan Summer Palace Road.

Anyway, it's number 200.

Nearby are clusters of low-rise buildings, which at first glance look a bit old-fashioned and have the feel of an old city.

It is surrounded by many large buildings such as the Summer Palace, Peking University, and Old Summer Palace.

It's not an elegant environment, but it can still be regarded as a place of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle.

The Mercedes-Benz was parked in a small courtyard, and the surrounding buildings were no more than seventy or eighty stories high.

There were no signs in the yard, and there were no people sitting around.

It's quite quiet in the afternoon.

Fang Nian and Wu Fucheng figured out the direction and walked in.

There is a feeling of sudden enlightenment inside.

There is a small sign on the entrance door:

Frontier?Pangu?Artificial Intelligence Laboratory

That's right, the entire courtyard of this medium-sized courtyard is the office building of Pangu Laboratory - it's not in a bright-looking high-rise building, nor is it eye-catching, it's just so big and hidden in the city.

There are very few visitors in this whole yard.

Like a forgotten corner.

Pangu now has a formal CEO, who has passed the agency stage, but it is not an external hire, but an internal promotion.

In contrast, Pangu has no development pressure, does not have many employees, and does not need strong leadership.

Unlike laboratories such as Zhu Yan, Taotie, and Yaoshu, one CEO is paired with several vice presidents and several CXOs.

In other words, Baize Laboratory is a little more relaxed because of Su Zifeng.

Mr. Gao, Pangu's CEO, quickly came out and invited Fang Nian and Wu Fucheng into his office.

Mr. Gao didn't even sit down. He looked at Fang Nian and Wu Fucheng and said as calmly as possible: "Director Fang, Mr. Wu, I'm really sorry. I only have coffee and tea here. I wonder what you two would like to drink?"

The company's top leader suddenly came to the laboratory he was responsible for without even saying hello. Mr. Gao was a little nervous.

More importantly, there is also Chairman Fang Nian who is rarely seen.

After meeting Fang Nian's gaze, Mr. Gao felt the pressure.

Fang Young smiled softly and waved: "Hong Kai, stop working so hard and come sit here. Mr. Wu and I will sit there for a while and then leave."

"Hey." Hearing this, Gao Hongkai felt that his bones were two ounces lighter.

As one of the first employees to join the frontier department, Gao Hongkai didn't know who Fang Nian was until he was promoted and transferred to the capital.

Today is the first time that I show my face in front of Fang Nian.

He was prepared that Fang Nian didn't know who he was, but he didn't expect that Fang Nian called his name as soon as he came out.

Although this was the second time Fang Nian shouted this, Gao Hongkai still ignored Yourong.

After Gao Hongkai sat down, he was as obedient as a primary school student. He put his hands on his legs and said, "Director Fang, please give me your orders."

Fang Nian smiled slightly and said: "It has been almost a year since Pangu Laboratory was established. The company has not arranged development plans like other laboratories. Do you have any ideas?"

Hearing this, Gao Hongkai organized his thoughts and quickly replied: "Director Fang, that's what I thought..."

“The company did not arrange a development plan, but it actually gave us a certain degree of freedom, which is an advantage that other laboratories do not have;

Artificial intelligence can be said to be the most cutting-edge basic scientific field, and the whole world is in a period of exploration;

In the past year, although we mainly cooperated with other projects to tame related algorithms, we also accumulated a certain amount of experience;

…

We have internally formulated a simple development plan, which mainly consists of three parts: modular, forward-looking, and practical.”

"..."

Gao Hongkai introduced Pangu's internal plan with as simple and popular a description as possible.

The sub-modules also follow the successful experience of Nuwa Laboratory and are divided into different project groups to deal with different matters.

Pangu’s current most important source of revenue is from internal and a small amount of external business cooperation.

In fact, it is not enough to maintain the basic expenses of a laboratory.

Frontier's R&D funding for Pangu is not large, ranking last, and much less than Shengyu.

Of course, after figuring out the 4G networking solution, Shengyu Laboratory has ushered in a period of rapid development and will soon complete the internal cycle.

Therefore, in Gao Hongkai's view, this part cannot be cut off directly.

It is forward-looking and practical and is not complicated. Pangu Laboratory has already started relevant operations.

It is to start a forward-looking exploration of the development direction of artificial intelligence, but it must also take into account practicality and not develop a mentally retarded machine that is of no use.

At this point, Fang Nian could tell that Gao Hongkai was actually quite envious of the 'Xiaowa' assistant in Nuwa's laboratory.

That is a practical application field with great commercial added value.

At least when it was first launched last year, it was directly ahead of the rest of the world, and it was unparalleled in the limelight.

Fang Nian said harmoniously: "This arrangement is good. I look forward to Pangu achieving results."

"..."

After chatting for a few more words, Fang Nian said calmly: "How is the office atmosphere lately?"

"Our place has always been good. The office environment and business pressure are not heavy." Gao Hongkai said, patting his chest.

"..."

Afterwards, under the leadership of Gao Hongkai, Fang Nian walked around with Wu Fucheng.

Finally, Fang Nian had a few words with the chief engineer of Pangu Laboratory.

What is different from other laboratories is that the chief engineer is not very old, only in his early thirties, and is quite well-known in academic circles.

I graduated with a Ph.D. from Peking University, majoring in mathematics. Anyway, everyone can be convinced.

Mr. Chen is also very thoughtful. He has some pretty good ideas about the future of artificial intelligence. He is rational and has a bit of scholarly romance.

I didn’t think about sci-fi strong artificial intelligence when I first came up.

Tend to tame more powerful algorithms to solve real problems:

Take the traffic jam in Beijing for example.

In the words of Mr. Chen, if the traffic conditions every day should be like those during the Spring Festival, and you can step on the accelerator as hard as you can on the third ring road, there will no longer be regrettable love stories about Sanlitun not being able to catch up with flights taking off in three hours.

.

Before leaving, Fang Nian smiled and said: "General Manager Chen, I am very much looking forward to you getting the Group Scientist Award. In my opinion, your only 'competition' is Academician Chen Jianye."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to compare with academicians in a short time." Mr. Chen smiled.

Fang Nian also smiled: "Five hundred years ago, you were one family. Rounding it off, who gets it is an 'internal' matter of your old Chen family."

"..."

Frontier did not select group scientist awards in 2011, and only one or two laboratory-level scientist awards were issued.

It’s not that Frontier is concerned about money, but that once standards are set, standards must be followed.

Besides, after New Year's Day, many people received different benefits, options or shares, etc.

The year-end bonus is also very generous.

The highest individual figure is Academician Chen Jianye, who put together a nice figure of 6.66 million.

There are also year-end bonuses in the form of teams, with the highest being the team led by Nuwa Huang Weiming, which received a total of 27 million.

"..."

After getting into the Mercedes-Benz, the village chief quickly drove away.

Fang Nian looked at Wu Fucheng: "How are your colleagues doing?"

"It's pretty good." Wu Fucheng replied thoughtfully, "People are very united and everyone performs their duties. The centripetal force is very good. It's better than the headquarters. No one has resigned recently."

"..."

In fact, this was the main purpose of Fang Nian's personal visit to the capital.

Even Miao Wei felt that it was an honor for everyone to go to the integrated circuit conference held by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

In the current huge system, decisions made by the upper levels may not be fully understood by the lower levels.

No problems were found in the first laboratory inspected, so it is commendable to build a governance structure based on the most stable system.

After all, there is a virtual share installment unit plan.

Instead of looking at the human side, you have to look at the profit side.
