Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

Chapter 300 Even geniuses have varying levels of talent.

Due to its development issues, China has never produced a tech company founder with the genius-obsessed type like Steve Jobs or Bill Gates before.

Even if there are some clever people like that, most of them end up committing fraud, either openly or through real estate scams.

Companies like Jack Ma and Pony Ma can only compete domestically with their technology. In reality, they rely on China's unique and independent environment and started by learning from mature overseas software.

Robin Li does have some technical skills, but he doesn't have the obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and he can't even be considered a qualified leader, so he ultimately led Baidu to become a failed company.

If Chen Yiran hadn't been reborn, Wang Tao would likely have been China's first truly genius-level, obsessive-compulsive founder in the tech industry. DJI would also have become the first Chinese company to become a pioneer in major global consumer technology products.

But now that Chen Yiran is around, Wang Tao has become less dazzling.

During the year and a half since Aurora acquired him, Wang Tao's mindset has experienced tremendous fluctuations.

At first, he was extremely regretful; he never imagined he would be bought off for a mere one hundred million US dollars. Although he used the money to buy a villa for his family and also acquired his beloved Mimi Shrimp Chips company.

But all of this made up for the pain of losing his company; airplanes were his only true love in life.

Wang Tao was born in Hangzhou, but moved to Shenzhen with his parents when he was in the third grade of elementary school. However, his parents, who were busy making a living, obviously didn't have time to take care of him, so they sent him back to his grandparents' home in Hangzhou.

His grandfather doted on him and often bought him all sorts of extracurricular books. In a comic book called "Grandpa with a Brain," there was a story about a red adventure helicopter, which made him fascinated by aircraft ever since.

After negotiating with his parents, he worked hard and transformed from an ordinary child into someone else's "perfect child," making rapid progress in his studies and eventually winning his first remote-controlled helicopter.

He was only 16 years old at the time and was excited for a long time, but soon he crashed the plane to pieces. He was too embarrassed to ask his parents to buy him a new one, so he could only pick up the parts and start figuring out how to fix it and how to make the plane fly more stably.

After that, he devoted a lot of time to making model airplanes, and began to teach himself flight control. He even went to junkyards to find electronic components to make handmade inventions.

While at Hangzhou Foreign Languages ​​School, his grades were only average, but the numerous model airplane books available at the school laid the foundation for his engineering thinking.

Throughout junior high, high school, and university, flying was his whole life, which is why his teachers, classmates, and friends were willing to contribute a lot of money, even buying houses, to support him.

However, Chen Yiran's fame was too great, and in that short half hour, it put enormous pressure on him, thus swindling the company out of his hands.

He was even a little scared, afraid that Chen Yiran didn't know how to fly and would lead the company astray.

Then the second phase came. Although the R&D platform that Chen Yiran had set up was very good, it didn't allocate them much time at all, and the R&D tasks he set were extremely unrealistic.

What Wang Tao finds even more unacceptable is that the company is now completely ignoring his management!

After the acquisition by Aurora Group, the company had money and moved to a better workplace. Wang Tao's many obsessive personality traits began to take hold, and he formulated various rules that he considered normal, but which other employees found bizarre.

The first problem to be addressed was the cafeteria. He forced the cafeteria staff to eat vegetarian food with him, so in order to get some meat, the employees had to go to the nearby Transsion Company, sneak in, and beg Transsion employees to sell them some meat using their meal cards.

Secondly, there was the insane time report system, which required employees to write time reports, reporting what they did every hour.

Secondly, there are some obsessive-compulsive requirements, such as requiring the cross-shaped parts of each screw to be aligned.

Wang Tao is that kind of person. Since he started his business in 2006, only one old cashier was able to stick with him until 2009. Everyone else couldn't stand it and left halfway through. DJI's turnover rate has always been extremely high.

But DJI is no longer his DJI. The employees shouted in unison, "Chen Yiran is here! DJI is at peace! Chen Yiran is here! The sky is clear!"

They started leaving messages for Chen Yiran on the message board, hoping that Chen Yiran would keep an eye on Wang Tao, especially Wang Tao's mouth, so that he wouldn't make the employees uncomfortable.

Some of Wang Tao's remarks are indeed very uncomfortable.

An employee secretly recorded Wang Tao talking to himself during a meeting: "The world is unbelievably stupid, and many people are unbelievably dumb."

After starting work, I discovered that there are too many unreliable people and things. This society is so foolish, including many famous people, or those whom everyone used to regard as gods, but who still do—they're actually not that high-level.

These words were interpreted as Wang Tao's complaint about Chen Yiran's lack of responsiveness to technical issues. The employees hoped that Chen Yiran would immediately sentence Wang Tao to a major offense of disrespect and quickly reassign this unfortunate boss, who was even more lenient than them, to another place.

I heard the company also has a data center in Bahrain, and I heard it's quite good.

Chen Yiran did not send Wang Tao away, but he did respond by sending an open letter to the company's internal group.

The company made it clear that there was only one voice: Chen Yiran's voice. No one was allowed to transfer their eccentric habits onto the employees.

From now on, all Aurora Group canteens will only need to follow one rule: no eggplant is allowed.

Because Chen Yiran's maternal grandmother never ate eggplants since she was a child, thinking that purple things looked bad, Chen Yiran, raised by her grandmother, firmly believed that eggplants were poisonous.

This somewhat humorous response eased the tension between Wang Tao and his subordinates, but it also caused Wang Tao's prestige in the company to plummet, making him even more upset. Just as he was preparing to slack off at work...

The terrifying third phase has arrived. Chen Yiran had completely forgotten about DJI for the past few months, until construction began on Lanai Island, when Jasmine reminded him to start paying attention to DJI's technological development.

He started having employees post their technical problems on a message board, and he would help them out when he had time; any problem was fine with him.

At first, the employees were unsure of Chen Yiran's true abilities. They wisely assigned him some technical challenges that were not simple, but not too difficult to overcome, hoping to give their group's boss a sense of involvement.

They soon discovered that Chen Yiran was not just participating; he seemed to be on a different level from them, solving all problems with ease.

Their mood quickly turned to: Holy crap, this transmission system! Holy crap, this anti-interference design! Holy crap, what kind of bizarre black technology avionics is this? Holy crap, Chen Yiran is definitely cheating!

At this stage, Wang Tao completely broke down. It wasn't that he couldn't accept that someone was better than him, but this person who was better than him went out to play every day and went to watch F1 races whenever he had nothing to do.

He lives online all the time, posts everything online, and can film his dog for an hour every day, which is probably less than the amount of time he spends working.

This kind of person completely crushed him, sweeping all his previous designs into the trash heap in just one year.

He began to feel fear towards Chen Yiran. He had always thought the world was incredibly stupid, but now he suddenly realized that he was just as stupid as people on a higher level.

So he started to slack off, even hinting to Mulally that he was physically and mentally exhausted and might need a break. He hoped to talk to Chen Yiran about letting him leave the company, and he was willing to sign an agreement guaranteeing he would never get involved in the drone industry again.

Mulally misunderstood; he thought Wang Tao had only noticed the company's intention to weaponize.

At the end of June, Wang Tao arrived in Singapore and met Chen Yiran at the factory. He thought that the meeting might be to discuss his retirement plans.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yiran's first words were: "Come on, take a look at these prototypes. I feel that with the current technology, it seems a bit unsuitable for creating a mechanical spider form. In any case, we still need to experiment gradually. DJI doesn't really need you for the follow-up work anymore, so you can take charge of this project."

"what?"
