Metropolis: Saving People On The Road At The Start

Chapter 542

Ma Yang was not polite, eating meat and drinks-because it was too spicy.

Hot pot, for those from other provinces who can’t eat spicy food, it is a real pain and happiness.

“Probably that’s it…”

When Ma Yang talked about his research, he was not unfamiliar. He went straight along the way, including their research road, current predicament and their expectations.

Zhao Yi summed up: “In other words, you need a lot of money to continue research, but you are not sure what level of research will be achieved in the future, and you don’t know whether it can be turned into a profitable product, right?”

Ma Yang is a bit embarrassed. After all, he wants money, but he can’t give others a return. How many people are willing to invest in such an investment?

“Almost like this, but my teacher also said that as long as the research continues, there will definitely be good results. After all, no matter which industry the artificial intelligence is used in, the core of it is the same. As long as we study artificial intelligence to the end If it is smart enough and powerful enough, it can be used in all walks of life. If it is really successful, it only needs to make some changes for different industries and optimize the algorithm…”

Zhao Yi thought for a while and said: “What you mean is that what you research and develop is the core, just like the little Wuxiang Gong in martial arts novels. After learning it, you can use the unique knowledge of various schools…”

“Yes, yes, that’s what I mean!”

Ma Yang’s eyes lit up, and I have to say that Zhao Yi’s summary is still in place.

Zhao Yi thought about it: “If I invest, what can I get?”

Ma Yang stretched out his hand and scratched his head: “What do you want?”

Zhao Yi smiled and said: “People who invest in your research naturally want your final research results 100%. Otherwise, who will invest? After all, investment is not for public welfare. All the investment is to get rich Return, and your most valuable and only valuable is your research results.”

Zhao Yi guessed that Ma Yang would refuse without hesitation, but Ma Yang did not immediately refuse after hearing Zhao Yi’s answer, but fell into thinking.

After tens of seconds of silence, Ma Yang stared at Zhao Yi and said: “We have done many years of research in the early stage and have achieved a lot of research results. If we continue to research because of your investment now, and all the research results belong to you, we will again What can you get?”

Some talk!

Zhao Yi thought for a while: “Because artificial intelligence will continue to develop, I guess if you continue to study, it is estimated that you can study for a lifetime… Then I ask you a question, do you want to continue to study, or do you want to study? Sell ​​one thing for money, or research something to start your own business and become your own boss?”

Ma Yang said seriously: “We are a group of like-minded people. Because of love, we get together. We hope to create a new era of intelligence. I know that many companies are studying this area, but we all believe that we are not better than others. Others are bad…None of us want to be bosses. We are all research technicians. Perhaps what everyone wants is a stable and long-term research environment plus a generous salary…”

Zhao Yi smiled and said: “If this is the case, then it is easy to solve it. How many people are in your R&D team, I mean researchers, the kind that is indispensable.”

“Eighteen people.”

Ma Yang quickly replied: “We are researchers in various industries of artificial intelligence, because artificial intelligence is actually very comprehensive, and it is not something that can be done by the professional…”

Zhao Yi laughed and said: “Then there are two ways. First, I use money to acquire your previous research results, and then invest in your continued research. Even if I hire you to work for me, all the research results belong to me. , You no longer have any ownership rights, you can rest assured that you are all cutting-edge talents, and the treatment is absolutely generous.”

“Secondly, we cooperate to establish an institution similar to the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute. Your team plus all the existing research results in your hands are used as shares. I invest to ensure the smooth progress of your research, and there will be research results in the future. Regardless of whether the research results are sold or we think of ways to convert them into income, we also share the income in proportion to the equity…”

After listening to the two methods mentioned by Zhao Yi, Ma Yang was obviously moved.

Because no matter which method, they can ensure that their research continues and they will have a good income.

Ma Yang thought for a moment: “If you want to research, you must be in the capital, because many equipment or some important experiments can only be in the capital, otherwise, the investment in all-round equipment is definitely not a small amount, and there are many academic discussions. It’s also the most convenient here. If it’s in other places, it will be much more troublesome…”.
