287 Because of being strong, so shameless
There is a very famous law in this world called the 28 rule. If you want to improve your personality, it can also be called the Bale specific law.
This law is widely used in various sociology and business management. It sounds very high-end, but it is actually very simple to explain, and many people have heard of it.
For example, 80% of the world's wealth is in the hands of twenty percent of people; for example, in a company, 80% of the performance is created by twenty percent of core talents.
Huaqing Miscellaneous Academy is not an enterprise. It would be fine if Xu Mengchang was scattered before, but after Tang Puding had a long talk with him today, Xu Mengchang realized that the future of Huaqing Miscellaneous Academy was not what he imagined.
He even had a vague feeling that Don Pudding was definitely not the kind of student who would choose to graduate in four years.
Of course, this may not be a bad thing for Huaqing University, but it is a big deal for him.
Although Huaqing Miscellaneous College is not a company, the 28th rule is still the 28th rule. If the department head wants to sit steadily, he must get rid of his previous mentality and not always seem idle. He has to wander around the student’s dormitory building until he has nothing to do. Instead, he has to take the initiative to take on more things from today on and be the core talents of twenty percent.
As for how to do it?
First of all, we have to do the job that he is best at...
Since Tang Puding wants to develop Huaqing Miscellaneous College into a level with Huaqing in the future, he will work hard in this direction.
As for how to work hard?
First of all, try your best to get the people in front of you! This is the task he must do his best now.
Of course, he can choose his own strategy, such as choosing pride or being respectful to the wise and humble. Obviously, Xu Mengchang tends to the former, not that Xu Mengchang is a particularly proud person, but that this kind of pride is one of the characteristics of the miscellaneous academy now.
On the battlefield, the general's character often subtly influences the temperament of a unit, and the same is true when put here. No matter how lazy or unreliable Tang Puding is usually, the pride deeply imprinted in his bones is unquestionable.
So those who have been with Tang Puding for a long time have more or less proud temperament.
Opportunities are in front of you, will you come or not?
Of course it is your loss if you don’t come. If you miss this village, you may not have this store in the future!
In fact, the effect is also very obvious.
A father Ma from China summed up a saying that employees of a company frequently change jobs, either because the boss doesn't pay enough money or is really wronged. But the actual situation is obviously impossible to have only these two types. For example, for people like Joseph, the attractiveness of higher-level technologies is obviously greater. It is even so great that they really want to give up everything at this moment to work in a miscellaneous college.
Of course, it was just a moment of impulse. After all, it was not that simple to make up a decision for these people.
First of all, they have a contract. Secondly, China is too far from Europe after all, and the saying that it is thousands of miles apart from the Western Hemisphere to the Eastern Hemisphere seems too reluctant. To live in China, they still need their customer service to serve many obstacles in life. This is indeed a relatively dilemma.
Of course, the reason why the entire Alfago team is silent and silent is that there is a senior Google technology president here during this meeting. Deepmind, after all, is a subsidiary of Google acquired sponsorship. They invested huge amounts of money in the company for their research. Now they change jobs in just one sentence, and they still have some difficulty in getting over the face.
"Actually, I learned about the situation of deepmind on the way, and knew that if it was just poaching people, it would be better for Mr. Derek to avoid it first. But then I thought about it and thought that being a human being should be open-minded. With the strength of our miscellaneous academy, there is really no need to do any small movements behind it."
Xu Mengchang smiled, as if his reaction to everyone was expected, and continued to say indifferently: "To put it bluntly, this time I was talking to everyone, mainly in the direction of deep learning of artificial intelligence, which is just a free stroke of our miscellaneous academy. In other words, this technology is not our main focus at all. But since we have made some achievements, it would be a pity if we don't find some people to continue."
"Alfago's team is doing similar research. If your team can take over our technology and continue research, it will be faster to get started. If you are not interested, we may temporarily put aside this project and release the project again after meeting the right person. However, if you meet a suitable person, you will feel that doing this may be embarrassing for everyone, so I asked me to ask for your opinions specifically."
These words almost made the sky die.
To roughly explain, we will create a Go program that is more awesome than Alfago, which is purely just a little bit. The technology you have worked on for several years is not worth mentioning in our eyes, it is just a useless thing. If you don't come, of course you can continue to study your so-called deep neural network learning technology in depth, but remember that although we temporarily put this project aside, it does not mean that we have completely given up.
Maybe one day when you are about to achieve results, some of us will restart this project. Maybe then, and the things you continue to study will become things that you can't show off again.
If it weren't for the account opened by Tang Puding, he would have abused Afagou Yuan, or these people would just think that Xu Mengchang was too arrogant.
But facts have proved that what Xu Mengchang said is the fact.
A very simple timeline can prove this. Mind Company was established and began to study general deep learning methods, which is also the basis of Alfago.
It has only been half a year since the establishment of Huaqing Miscellaneous College.
It took a full six years for deepmind to tinker with Alfago and only in 2017 had the courage to start challenging the world's top chess players.
Huaqing Miscellaneous Academy throws out a program and instantly kills Alfagou Yuan, whom they are proud of. Not only does it instantly kill, it is simply to rub their Alfago on the ground. Until now, the two companies have their own different programs in the world of Go. So far, Alfagou Yuan has not won a game. What's more terrifying is that the program progress of the Miscellaneous Academy is becoming more and more obvious, and the thinking process is getting shorter and shorter, and often the mid-game can make Alfagou Yuan admit defeat.
So the problem facing them is very sharp now.
There are similar technologies in this world that are more advanced and more efficient than them. Is it meaningful to continue their research?
Of course, in Joseph and the others' eyes, it probably makes sense.
After all, this deep neural network learning technology is not just used for chess.
Their real goal is to use this technology in all aspects of people's lives and thus change the real world. However, deepmind is facing a very serious real-life problem. So far, deepmind still has no mature monetization path.
In other words, deepmind has not been able to make money so far, and its annual losses are gradually increasing, let alone making profits. Without continuous blood transfusions, it is impossible to continue operating. The debt of more than one billion pounds is not a joke.
If investors feel that the project is no longer of investment value, the blow to deepmind will be disastrous.
Not to mention that the main investor of deepmind is Google, and Google's current situation is even more embarrassing. After the release of technology that can defeat Alfago, it released a search engine technology that can better attack Google. So from any aspect, if Alfago team does not consider the continued research of the Academy, the future will not be good for them...
Obviously, Joseph had already figured out all the causes and consequences during the few dozen seconds of silence. So his eyes at Xu Mengchang had become different.
"Then if..." As soon as he spoke, Joseph couldn't help but glance at Derek beside him. Seeing the Google boss with a deep thought look, he made up his mind to continue saying: "I mean if, if we really plan to join Huaqing Miscellaneous Academy to continue researching this topic, can we get access to the most core technology besides the promise just now?"
Asking this question is enough to show that Joseph is already tempted. Of course, it can also be considered that the times forced him to make this choice. At least after he said this, Derek still did not make any statement.
Of course, this book is not something Derek needs to take care of.
"The most core technology? Mr. Joseph said frankly. As I said just now, the deep neural learning network you are studying actually has a relatively mature solution in our miscellaneous college. It is not that you can only surpass you in chess. If you are lucky enough to attend a dinner together today, you will know that our research has reached the forefront of the world in terms of intelligent speech recognition, gesture and action recognition, etc.."
"Of course, this is just a by-stop research. As we just said, this technology is not a core technology for our miscellaneous colleges, so we didn't continue to dig deeper. Secondly, our artificial intelligence technology has long been ahead of you, such as Hongmeng 100, which is enough to prove this."
"To sum up, to put it inappropriately, or do you think this deep learning technology is very high-end and is an important direction for the future development of artificial intelligence, but in our internal view, this technology is at least optional at present. So there is really no key core technology. Do you think that in this case, if we invite so many people to the miscellaneous academy, will we still be more careful about your team?"
"I would like to express my opinion on behalf of the Miscellaneous College. First of all, we believe in your professional qualities. Secondly, we have the ability to and confidence to ensure that our secrets will not be leaked. Please rest assured of this."
Xu Mengchang said neither humble nor arrogantly.
"Okay, then I have another question, how much is the Miscellaneous College willing to invest in this project, and if we really want our team to join, how many positions can you give?" Joseph asked again.
"That's right. I've learned a little about it before coming. The current team of deepmind company has about 800 people. If Mr. Joseph has that personality charm and can bring everyone, we can accept it all!" Xu Mengchang said with a smile.
After hearing this, Derek finally couldn't sit still.
How come this is poaching?
This is clearly trying to acquire the entire company!
Google spent $400 million to acquire the company, and after the acquisition, it invested more than one billion dollars. Now, this guy in front of him obviously took the deepmind directly into his pocket with the idea of not spending a penny.
That's right, that's it, it's too bad.
If you poach all the people, is this company still meaningful? Even if Google wants to change hands, it is afraid that it will not be able to find a seller? Of course, it is impossible for everyone to leave, and even if the people are really exposed, the deepmind company's technologies, including Alfago, are all property of Google.
But what is the use of technology that has not yet mature monetization model? Not to mention that these talents have all studied more advanced technologies. Moreover, a company does not require everyone to be poached at all. As long as more than 10% of the core talents are removed, it will be difficult to come up with results.
Of course, Google is not stupid. After acquiring deepmind, when signing contracts with those core members, it will have many restrictions on companies that will join competitors in the future. This is the general constraint method of major companies on core members.
But the problem now is that the Miscellaneous Academy is not a company, but a school. Secondly, the Miscellaneous Academy now has technologies that can drive Google into the abyss, and according to the Miscellaneous Academy's attitude towards technology, they do not mind authorizing these technologies.
Derek knew better that in order to obtain this technology, not to mention that the miscellaneous college had dug up the deepmind company's people, it would be no problem for the person in front of him to take the company over with just one sentence.
As the company's president, Sundar dared not have any objection.
This is the trouble. I don’t know what level Sundar talked about at the Miscellaneous Academy, although I knew very well that what Xu Mengchang was doing was not very kind, but he really didn’t dare to say justice from Google’s perspective. Even Derek himself felt moved.
As Google's chief technology officer, it is also a great temptation to be able to join places like various researches in Miscellaneous Academy where miracles can be created repeatedly.
It's like a holy land!
As a technician, who doesn’t want to see what magical magic power this mysterious place has? Why can technology that seems impossible to the outside world always be tricked out by this place? What magical magic power that guy Tang Puding has, so he can overcome all obstacles and go all the way?
