Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 701: For the Progress of All Mankind
During the May Day holiday, Fang Hong stayed at home with Liu Tianxian, taking walks with her. It was not convenient to go out as there were so many people outside.

If you have any news, just call us.

On May 5, Chairman Mo of Guoxin and several young people visited Fang Hong's villa as agreed.

They had a five-day holiday, so they came back to work as soon as they got back to work on the 5th. Today is also the day when "Captain America 6" was released. The movie was extremely popular when it was released, with pre-sales alone exceeding 3 million yuan at the box office.

This movie has brought signs of recovery for Wanda Cinemas, but there's no way around it. Marvel movies are doing very well at the box office right now, and audiences only watch the content and don't care about the competition between the two sides.

Even though Tupiaopiao has diversion restrictions, most people will still go to Wanda Cinemas to watch movies just because they have the movies they want to watch.

In addition, Tao Piaopiao is making every effort to seize the market, and there are also many other ticketing platforms.

But it still has an impact on Wanda. After all, Tupiaopiao occupies a large market and it is an indisputable fact that the flow of people is much less than usual.

The total box office of "Lucy 2" in seven days exceeded 6.78 million yuan. Although it has not exceeded million yuan, it is still very stable.

The box office of other movies has collapsed to below 3 million. It can be said that the theaters are now surviving on the two movies "Captain America 2" and "Lucy ".

It’s just that some cinema chains are doing well and some are not. Compared with others, Wanda Cinemas is not doing very well.

The original market share of 13% has dropped to less than 10%, while the market shares of other cinema chains have all increased.

All I can say is that it was all thanks to the principal. The principal restricted Wanda, and the little that was leaked was enough for the small cinema to fill its stomach.

On the green lawn, several people were walking casually on the soft grass. The leaders were Fang Hong and Chairman Mo of Guoxin. This was state-owned assets and the rank was vice-ministerial.

Surrounding the two of them were several young men wearing glasses. They had immature faces and were a little reserved, as if they were not used to it.

"Mr. Fang, the environment here is nice!" said Chairman Mo.

"It's okay, but it's too troublesome and always needs someone to take care of it." Fang Hong said, motioning them to go to the pavilion.

Such an environment is not cheap to care for and maintain. It requires a lot of water and frequent pruning.

Several people sat down opposite each other in the pavilion, and Mayor Mo Dong asked, "Why don't I see your wife?"

"She's pregnant and it's not convenient for her." Fang Hong did not hide it.

"Oh, I see!" Chairman Mo expressed his understanding.

As they were chatting, Liu Tianxian came over with a tray. Fang Hong saw her and quickly stood up to greet her, took the tray and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"There are guests. Let me greet them."

After Liu Tianxian finished speaking, he said to Chairman Mo and the young men, "Chairman Mo, please have some tea."

Fang Hong took out several teacups from the tray and placed them in front of them.

"No busy work, no busy work."

Chairman Mo had already stood up, and everyone else stood up as well, to show courtesy. He looked at Liu Tianxian's big belly and asked, "How many months has it been?"

"Eight months." Liu Tianxian said with a smile.

"Oh, great. Congratulations to Mr. Fang on becoming a father!" Chairman Mo nodded kindly.

Although he was wearing a suit, he was a little bald and looked not very friendly, but rather a little wretched.

This is what he looks like, but of course you can't judge a person by his appearance.

"Thank you. Chairman Mo, please come and have a drink to celebrate the full moon." Fang Hong invited casually.

“I’ll come if I’m free.” Chairman Mo’s words were ambiguous, mainly because he was unfamiliar with the situation.

The other young men watched without saying anything, appearing a little shy.

"Then you guys chat, I'm going to go back. I'm a little sleepy lately." Liu Tianxian wanted to sleep again.

"Okay, Madam Fang, be careful." Chairman Mo gestured with his hand.

"Slow down!" Fang Hong said.

"Well! You all sit down and don't worry about me." Liu Tianxian nodded and then walked away.

She just showed up, without even telling me she was here, and the hostess didn't even come out to greet her, which was very impolite.

Seeing her disappear, Fang Hongcai talked to Chairman Mo and a few others about investing in "Yifei Xianju".

"Principal, please tell us what Yifei Xianju is like." Chairman Mo needed him to tell him what he was going to do first.

"I don't understand cutting-edge research in artificial intelligence, so I invited these technical experts to join. Let me introduce them to you."

Fang Hong pointed at a man wearing glasses and said, "He Kaiming graduated from MIT and previously worked at Microsoft Research Asia. He wrote a paper on computer vision!"

"Hello, I don't understand." He Kaiming nodded slightly.

Chairman Mo also nodded in response. It was hard to tell what he was talking about, but he just felt that the people here were very young. Everyone here was very young, and they were all born in the 1980s.

He later became one of the most influential Chinese scholars in the field of computer vision in the world.

He was originally going to work at Facebook, but was poached by Fang Hong.

"Jia Yangqing majored in automation at Tsinghua University and just completed his doctorate. His research direction is deep learning and natural language," Fang Hong introduced again.

Jia Yangqing smiled slightly, looking a little honest.

He later became a leading expert in the development of deep learning frameworks worldwide.

I was originally going to work at Facebook, but was poached by Fang Hong.

Facebook's artificial intelligence is very powerful, especially in the field of eye repair, the technology is simply amazing.

"Chen Tianqi was previously at Tsinghua University and is now an assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon University. He has chosen to join us now," Fang Hong explained. Chen Tianqi glanced at a few people politely.

He was later regarded by the industry as one of the most influential Chinese scholars in the field of new generation machine learning systems.

"You all look so young!" Chairman Mo glanced at the three of them.

They are too young and I don’t know if they can handle such a big responsibility. After all, they may be an institution with billions or even tens of billions of dollars. They look unstable and I’m afraid their assets will go to waste.

“Only young people have active minds and ideas. For example, in our film and television industry, once people get older, the works they create are not good, or they can no longer create.

Look at Jay Chou, when he was young, the songs he created were so good and avant-garde, but now that he is older, the songs he creates are not as popular as before." Fang Hong said.

"Hahaha! What you said makes sense." Chairman Mo laughed and looked at them again.

Several people looked a little uncomfortable. Technical people are all like this and are not good at socializing.

Chairman Mo asked again: "How much do you plan to invest?"

"I've said we'll invest 100 billion dollars in five years!" Fang Hong said.

"100 billion dollars?! Are you really going to invest 100 billion dollars?" Chairman Mo was surprised, thinking that he was joking and just talking.

The three of them looked at each other with light in their eyes. What they lacked was a platform and funds. If someone contributed funds to them unconditionally, of course they were willing to give their all.

"Yes, it's true. If the investment is insufficient, you won't see any effect. You must continue to invest." Fang Hong said.

This means that continued investment will be required five years later.

Chairman Mo was a little surprised that 100 billion was thrown in casually. He asked, "Then how do you inject capital?"

What I mean is where do you get so much money?

"I will personally invest 2 million US dollars to set up the framework, and then Chang'e Technology will inject 58 billion US dollars, which means a total of 60 billion US dollars." Fang Hong stopped here.

In other words, the state-owned capital will have to contribute 40 billion dollars.

58 billion US dollars is 406 billion, which is almost the annual revenue of Chang'e Technology at this stage.

He thought that when Chang'e Technology explodes again next year, he could invest a part of the money and use the state-owned capital first.

"Is that so?" Chairman Mo murmured. He was worried that Chang'e Technology did not have that much money, or that something unexpected might happen to the company.

“Are there more investors who can share the burden?” he said.

"Mr. Mo, I'm not afraid if I pay the majority and you pay the less. What are you afraid of? Besides, we are a non-profit organization. Who is willing to share the cost with us?" Fang Hong said.

"This is what I'm worried about. You see, this is a non-profit organization. That means you don't make money, you only do research?" Chairman Mo asked in a questioning tone.

Fang Hong nodded and said, "Yes!"

"If your company encounters any problems, the profitability is poor, and you cannot make sustainable investments, what should you do? Wouldn't it be better to share more of the burden?" Chairman Mo is preparing for a rainy day.

"The question is, apart from us two, who else can be so selfless?" Fang Hong praised himself.

Guoxin is a well-known enterprise, and whatever he says now may be spread.

"That's the problem." Chairman Mo understood this man's determination.

He originally thought that he would invest a few billion to test the waters and see what would happen, but he didn't expect that the other party would invest tens of billions of dollars as soon as he opened his mouth. The people had already been found and they were a get-doer.

“When this was first established, no one would follow us. We still need to achieve results and establish a belief.

I promise that my funds will be in place for five years. If there are no major results in these five years, we will withdraw. I will lose tens of billions and you will lose less. If there are major results after five years, we will introduce some other passionate companies to come in and we will share the burden.

These five years will depend on our belief. As long as the belief comes out, there will always be some CEOs with a sense of patriotism willing to follow us. ” Fang Hong gave advice.

Now if you want others to follow you, no one dares to do so. Who knows if you are a liar? Non-profit organizations may run away with the money. There are too many such cases.

But after five years, when you have achieved results, people will see that you are truly working for the country and the people and that you are a group of people with faith, and they will be willing to pay for this faith.

There are some passionate entrepreneurs in China. They are not conspicuous and are all very rich. They just need someone to take the lead.

"The plan you proposed is feasible." Chairman Mo nodded in approval.

According to the other party, there will always be some results from investing the money, but if there are no revolutionary results, then they can withdraw.

Of course, whether to withdraw or not depends on the situation. If some talented people are really gathered here, the authorities will continue to persevere even if they lose money. They have supported so many research institutions, and it is not a big deal to support just this one.

"Then it's settled. You go back and I'll wait for your news." Fang Hong said.

"I have another question. Will all the research results of this institution be made available to the public for free in the future?" Chairman Mo said.

"Yes, the purpose of this organization is to promote the progress of all mankind, and openness is a must." Fang Hong has a big vision, which is a bit out of the ordinary.

The three scientists were excited after hearing this. Isn't this the purpose of their research, for the progress of mankind?

Chairman Mo nodded. He had to look at this young man with new eyes.

"Some results need to be kept confidential and should not be made public, so we still have to be cautious." He was afraid that if he really found something in his research, it would be difficult to say.

"Delayed opening is also possible." Fang Hong couldn't say not to open.

The belief of "for all mankind" cannot be lost. Some scientists are stubborn and they are not short of money, so they have no concept of country, only the concept of humanity. They cannot think like normal people.

But delayed opening does not mean not opening at all, it just means a little later. It can be opened when there are new results, which is still for the progress of all mankind.

"Well, Mr. Fang is really a young talent!" Chairman Mo patted him on the shoulder, expressing his admiration.
