After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 359 Young Master Xu, who values ​​talent (career)
The next day, due to the arrival of a cold wave, the temperature dropped below zero overnight.

It snowed in the capital as well.

"Wear more clothes, prioritize style over warmth!"

Pei Danqing scolded.

Xu Lin was wearing only three clothes: a short-sleeved shirt underneath, a turtleneck sweater in the middle, and a trench coat on the outside.

Besides his underwear, he only had one pair of long pants.

In the north, where winter temperatures often drop below zero, many people wear thermal underwear. Pei Danqing wore thermal underwear today.

Xu Lin's style of dressing perfectly embodies the saying, "Style over warmth."

"It's not a big problem. You know I'm strong and healthy."

"Don't get cold."

"fine."

After having a full breakfast, the two said goodbye to Yue Man, the mother-in-law, and returned to the courtyard house.

The courtyard house was covered in snow.

Xu Lin is from the south, and apart from going to the north, he basically never sees snow in real life, so he found it quite strange for a while.

"Xu Lin, I want to build a snowman!"

Pei Danqing suddenly had a whim and said that he hadn't built a snowman in more than ten years.

"Let's get together then!"

Xu Lin had never built a snowman before and wanted to try.

So the two of them built a snowman in the yard.

"When I was a child, my friends and I used to build snowmen together, but that was more than ten or twenty years ago," Pei Danqing suddenly sighed.

Do you still keep in touch with your friends?

Xu Lin asked casually.

"No, we haven't been close for a long time. Each age group has its own different circle, so it's hard for us to hang out together."

"I'm pretty much the same. I basically don't contact acquaintances from the past anymore."

Xu Lin thought about himself and realized that it was true. Their social classes were different now, and it was difficult to have common topics with his old friends.

Two hours later, the snowman was finished. It was over 1.8 meters tall and quite large.

"Xu Lin, take a picture of me!"

"Okay, then stand still."

Pei Danqing wanted to take a photo with the snowman, so after she stood down next to the snowman, Xu Lin took a group photo of her.

After looking at the photo of herself with the snowman, Pei Danqing sent it to Chi Linyue.

As she said earlier, Pei Danqing did not have many friends after growing up, but these friends were close friends. Her colleagues at work could not be considered true friends.

Now Pei Danqing is quite familiar with Chi Linyue.

Then, the two started chatting while building a snowman.

Xu Lin also took some photos of the snowman and sent them to Ning Yuhan and the others, saying that he had built a snowman in Beijing.

Among Ning Yuhan and the others, only Rong Xiyan, being from Suzhou, would see snow. Suzhou has conditions for snowfall in winter, and she has seen snowfall before.

Ning Yuhan, Yu Xinyan, and Xia Xiyao had never seen snow in real life.

So all three of them were very interested.

In fact, Rong Xiyan felt the same way, because she also wanted to build a snowman. She said that when winter vacation came, she would go to Bin City with Xia Xiyao to see the snow and the ice and snow world, and build a snowman there as well.

Hama City's snow and ice world is renowned, attracting a large number of tourists every winter.

"Xu Lin, come in, it's too cold outside!"

Pei Danqing invited Xu Lin into the house, where the heating was on and it was very warm.

After entering the house, Xu Lin took off his coat and sweater, wearing only a short-sleeved shirt, which he wears all year round.

"How about we do something fun?"

With nothing to do, Xu Lin couldn't help but have wicked thoughts. As soon as he sat down on the sofa, he pulled Pei Danqing into his arms and started messing around with her.

"What's wrong? Wasn't that enough last night?"

"What was enough last night? There couldn't have been too much noise at all. It felt neither here nor there, and besides, I guess you weren't feeling too comfortable either."

After Xu Lin finished speaking, he leaned in and kissed the other person's lips.

Just as Xu Lin said, Pei Danqing did feel uneasy last night. Usually, when she was with Xu Lin, it was just the two of them in the house, and Pei Danqing could enjoy herself to the fullest. But last night, she was afraid of making too much noise and letting her mother hear.

As for my younger brother, he went out again last night to drink with his friends.

In short, Pei Danqing, who felt stuck in a limbo, has now taken the initiative after being provoked by Xu Lin.

When are you going back to Jiangdu?

After kissing for a few minutes, the two separated, and Pei Danqing asked about it.

"Tomorrow, I can spend time with you today. You have to go to work tomorrow, right?"

"Okay, I have to go to work, so you'll have to spend time with me today!"

Pei Danqing became even more proactive.

Meeting Xu Lin wasn't easy either; sometimes it was only once every month or two, and you had to take the initiative to go to Jiangdu. Xu Lin wouldn't come to the capital unless he had something to do, even though transportation was very convenient now.

The two of them were up all day and night.

After having a full meal in the evening, we continued to make a fuss, and before we knew it, it was already past midnight.

The next day, Xu Lin saw the other person off to work, and before returning to Jiangdu, he went to Zheng Xincheng's laboratory.

Xu Lin left behind 1 billion yuan, instructing Zheng Xincheng to spend a large sum of money to recruit a group of top talents.

In Xu Lin's view, talent is easy to recruit; as long as the money is right, that's enough.

This time, Xu Lin plans to invest another 10 billion yuan to accelerate the development of virtual reality.

To accelerate progress, there are two key aspects: talent and hardware. Once both are in place, it's up to the lab staff to put in the effort.

Everyone in the laboratory was shocked to see Young Master Xu arrive. They never expected him to be here.

It wasn't until Zheng Xincheng introduced the laboratory to everyone that people realized that Young Master Xu was the real owner of the lab.

At this moment, Xu Lin addressed the crowd: "Everyone, I have a goal, which is to create a virtual world. I believe you all understand what a virtual world would mean if it were born in this era. It would be no less significant than the intelligent life I created. In other words, what we are doing now is a truly great thing. I have always believed in the importance of talent and teamwork. Therefore, I hope that everyone can work together to create this great achievement!"

After Xu Lin finished speaking, the audience erupted in applause.

Xu Lin waved his hand and said, "But I am a very pragmatic person. I won't talk too much, I won't just give empty encouragement, and I certainly won't make empty promises. So, today, I will personally reward everyone here with three million. I hope everyone will be motivated!"

hiss!
Upon hearing this, all seventy-odd people present gasped in shock.

It's important to know that some of the people here are recent graduates. Although they are all graduates from prestigious universities, the best young graduates in this lab only earn 50,000 yuan a month, pre-tax.

But now, Young Master Xu says that everyone will be rewarded with three million today!
Those present were in disbelief for a moment.

One of the bolder boys immediately asked excitedly, "Young Master Xu, is it true? Three million?"

"Don't worry, it's RMB, we won't be giving you Vietnamese Dong as a reward."

Xu Lin said, "I just want everyone to do their job well. You don't need to think too much about anything else. Right now, we only have one goal: to overcome all the technical challenges needed for the virtual world. Then we can create a virtual world together."

Unlike intelligent life forms, the Moon God Xu Lin can manage things on his own, but the virtual world is a much larger project because if it is completed in the future, it will need to accommodate billions of people logging in.

This level of project is not something Xu Lin can handle alone; the government has to back it up.

Therefore, Xu Lin motivated everyone by rewarding them with money.

There aren't that many grand, nonsensical principles in the world. Ideals and dreams are all fake. As long as the money is right, if you say you want to land on the moon or Mars, these people will try to take on the challenge.

Moreover, Xu Lin is not one to make empty promises. He is ultimately a pragmatic person, much like the coal mine owners in the early days of the entertainment industry. They would just give you money and ask you to make good films. They wouldn't complain.

Xu Lin only had one request: just do a good job for me.

Q: What does three million mean?

Most people will never have a million in savings in their lifetime, and a family with a million in savings is extremely rare. Otherwise, why would so many people take out loans to buy houses? There is only one reason: they can only spend money from the future to buy happiness in the present.

Just twenty minutes later, the three million promised by Xu Lin was transferred to the bank accounts of the seventy-five employees present, totaling 2.25 million yuan. He gave it to them as soon as he said he would.

Xu Lin doesn't need to go to the bank to transfer money; he can just send a command to the Moon Goddess.

When the money arrived, everyone in the room was thrilled; many felt like they were dreaming.

Those high-level talents are quite calm, after all, they were recruited at high prices, the highest of whom has an annual salary of more than two million, so three million is not a big deal for some of them.

But those researchers earning over 20,000 yuan a month, especially the few recent graduates, completely stunned them.

Three million, how many years would it take them to earn that much?
On the other side, Zheng Xincheng was also stunned, feeling that Young Master Xu was really generous, as if he didn't care about money at all.

He truly values ​​talent!

At this point, Xu Lin said again, "Everyone has received the money, but what I want to say is that this is only the first payment. There will be a second, a third, and even several more payments later. As long as everyone gives me their full support, that's fine, okay?"

"can!"

Everyone spoke in unison, expressing their excitement.

Xu Lin continued, "Very good! Next, I need to hold a virtual reality technology conference for everyone. But before that, I need to emphasize a few things that need attention. My technology cannot be leaked. In other words, I don't want any spies among us here. To put it bluntly, how much do you get paid as spies? So don't be stupid. You won't find a better boss than me."

Everyone nodded seriously.

Xu Lin continued: "Regarding the leak, you will be coming into contact with many cutting-edge technologies, so I hope that your spouses will not be allowed to see or touch your USB drives, computers, or anything else involving classified information. I hope you will take this matter very seriously..."

Xu Lin also emphasized the point about leaks from one's spouse, because quite a few people have actually been brought down by their spouses, even affecting industry practitioners, and such cases have indeed happened.

Xu Lin: "One more thing, if there are any people here who have a habit of drinking, I hope that everyone can drink less in the future, especially not get drunk, because I'm afraid that you might say something inappropriate or even leak secrets when you're drunk..."

After explaining a few things, Xu Lin began to hold a technical meeting with everyone.

That's the neuroscience he's conquered this time.

For cutting-edge or very difficult technologies, Xu Lin will try to tackle them in advance. Once he has mastered them, he will delegate them to the laboratory so that everyone can work together to continue the research. This will speed up the process. Therefore, Xu Lin will not be working alone this time.

The power of the collective is always the strongest.

The technical meeting lasted for five hours, and no one complained. With three million in their accounts, they had to hold it in even if their bladders were about to burst, otherwise they would really have wasted the three million.

The meeting ended at around 4 p.m.

Xu Lin left Zheng Xincheng 10 billion yuan, instructing him to continue increasing investment in research and development.

Ten billion is an astronomical figure for Zheng Xincheng, one he wouldn't even dare to dream of, but for Xu Lin, it's nothing.

He knew that to create a great invention, he had to spend a lot of money. Small money could not accomplish great things; only big money could accomplish great things. Xu Lin estimated that the initial investment would be at least 100 billion to develop this virtual world. This 10 billion was just the beginning.

At 6 p.m., Xu Lin boarded a plane back to Jiangdu.

At the same time, news about Xu Lin rewarding each employee with three million yuan today also immediately became the top trending topic.

This matter will not be kept secret, and Xu Lin tacitly agrees, because only by letting people know that he, Young Master Xu, is willing to spend a lot of money on his employees will those talented people be attracted.

As for the phrase "three million," the entire internet was stunned tonight, and it became the number one trending topic on multiple platforms, a level of dominance that was unprecedented.

"Really? Three million for each person?"

"I heard it's true. There were seventy-five people inside, and each person received a reward of three million! That's a whopping 2.25 million spent, and I heard Young Master Xu didn't even blink an eye!"

"And there are several recent undergraduate graduates here too. Damn, they've only been here a few days and they've already received a three million bonus! That's terrifying!"

"Holy crap, is Young Master Xu really that powerful?"

“My classmate was so envious he cried. He applied for the lab and got accepted, but he didn’t go. He thought the lab was unknown and had no future prospects. He thought he would just go to a big company. Now he’s probably crying in the bathroom.”

“My younger brother works in this lab, which was invested in by Mr. Xu. They say it's for researching virtual world-related technologies. My brother has only been there for ten days, and today he received three million. All the researchers here received a three million bonus. And according to my brother, Mr. Xu also said that this is just the first one, and there will be more later!”

"Ugh, that's scary!"

"Young Master Xu is way better than other bosses. Damn it, my boss is an idiot. He only talks big but never takes any real action. Damn it, I'm so envious. I hate that I'm not capable enough. I hope I can work with Young Master Xu in my next life!"

The entire internet is buzzing tonight.

However, compared to netizens' focus on Xu Lin's reward of three million yuan to his employees, what capital is focusing on is different.

They are focusing on the VR field, and now Mr. Xu is venturing into VR.

Therefore, the future trend will be to add VR to the foundation of artificial intelligence.

Before Mr. Xu paid attention to VR, this field actually had little future, both domestically and internationally. Putting aside everything else, VR simply couldn't get popular, and not many consumers were willing to pay for it, so it would be strange if it had a future.

But things are different now; Young Master Xu has arrived.
