After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 142: Make America's software industry retreat back to its homeland in North America by October
The outside and the inside are naturally like heaven and hell.

Inside, Hao Cheng and more than a dozen companies were busy planning how to divide up the market share of America's top 10 software companies.

As for most of the people who came this time with high hopes, Hao Cheng didn't even show up. Li Qingbo was discussing the future of the software industry with them in the conference room of a hundred people at the Peninsula Hotel.

As for the project, Li Qingbo kept pushing it aside, saying that Xiaosha would conduct a preliminary review, and only after the preliminary review was passed would the cooperation negotiations and signing be initiated.

When they heard about Xiaosha's review, everyone's faces changed instantly - that thing is AI, can AI understand the ways of the world? Will AI care whether they are state-owned enterprises or listed companies?
No, then it would be the end!
Isn't Baiju Technology supposed to lead the industry forward? We don't have the strength to begin with. If we had the strength, would we still need you to lead us?
Many people feel that they are very wronged, as if being weak is glorious.

It's not that Hao Cheng doesn't understand what these people are thinking, but he doesn't care at all. He has never considered whether to offend people or not.

When you get things done, you're bound to offend people, but it's better to offend people than to delay things. This is the rule.

As a traditional business person, Li Qingbo's ideas did not quite match those of Hao Cheng at first. For example, his initial understanding of this incident was biased.

And according to Li Qingbo's idea, no matter whether the cooperation is successful or not, Hao Cheng will definitely come over today to socialize with everyone.

But Hao Cheng didn't do that. He didn't even show up. He was the only one sent here to take care of the things here.

After Hao Cheng had reached an agreement with more than a dozen selected companies, he held a round of consultations and negotiations with companies or departments of major Internet companies that have a large market share in domestic office software, tool software, etc., such as Kingsoft, Feishu, Qixin, 360, and DingTalk, to make final preparations for the new system.

These companies were also shocked after hearing Baiju Technology's concept of integrating AI into the system, into every level of the software, and into every step of operation.

No one doubts Xiaosha's ability anymore. If he can fully integrate it into the system and software, the effect will be...

All the invited companies expressed that they would definitely follow Baiju Technology's footsteps and bring domestic software to the world.

Take Kingsoft, for example, its WPS, which has a very high domestic market share, even comparable to Microsoft's MicroSoft Office. Its mobile terminal is even more advanced, with a market share of more than 85%.

But when it comes to the international market, Microsoft firmly controls more than 90% of the market, and Kingsoft has almost no chance relying on itself.

But if Xiaosha is integrated into every operation and every function of WPS, then Microsoft Office is nothing!
No one can miss such an opportunity for further expansion.

Is it difficult to make a new operating system? The development cost is high, and the software vendors are unwilling to cooperate? None of these exist at Baiju Technology!
These companies did not even ask Baiju Technology what conditions it had, but they could not wait to express their willingness to cooperate, fearing that if they were late, their positions would be taken away by others.

What they do can be done by any software company, and it may not be difficult, but the core of Xiaosha can only be found in Baiju Technology.

Moreover, for such an operating system that is obviously oriented towards the future, they are fully confident that it will be 100% successful!
As a result, without any commotion, all companies reached an agreement with Baiju Technology, and some even signed a memorandum of cooperation on the spot.

"Have I forgotten anything yet?" At the end of the conversation, Hao Cheng pretended to be thinking and asked this question.

"what?"

Everyone was a little confused. What did he forget? He didn't forget anything. He had explained everything that needed to be explained. Everyone racked their brains to think about what Hao Cheng wanted to express. Could it be that they didn't understand it?

"Except for EDA, which needs to be connected with chip factories for development, there should be nothing else missed, right?" Hao Cheng explained.

At once, everyone understood that this was about whether any competitor of America, or any software or tool area had been missed.

This is really an attempt to take down all the software companies in America!
So everyone started racking their brains to find and fill in the gaps, trying not to miss out on any area where a competitor existed.

In the end, it was Hao Cheng who stopped them: "It is inevitable that some will be missed. We should solve 90% of the problems first, and then mobilize the power of the masses to catch the rest in one fell swoop."

In fact, AI entrepreneurs have already tried to do this in some niche markets and fields. When the time comes, once Xiaosha’s element-level application plug-in is adapted to the new system, all these software and services will be brought over at once.

If Baiju Technology wants to develop an operating system, its foundation will be much stronger than Huawei’s HarmonyOS at that time!

……

"Okay, today is already January 3rd, and the lunar calendar has entered the twelfth month. There is less than a month left before the New Year. Let's first determine the specific framework and detailed division of labor for the cooperation, and never put off until after the New Year what can be done before the New Year."

Finally, Hao Cheng said: "The development of operating systems and development tools comes first, which is the foundation. System software and application software should be required and planned first. I will focus on training Xiaosha's relevant capabilities based on your needs."

Hao Cheng paused and concluded: "There is only one goal. Before October, America's software industry will shrink back to its homeland, leaving only North America!"

"Well, it's getting late. The specialty restaurant in the next city has prepared a dinner for everyone. You can also exchange ideas with each other. Come back next year, and everything will be completely different!"

This time, the heads of traditional office software, Internet giants, and the operating system, database, and industry software companies that Hao Cheng is going to support met in the banquet hall of a city specialty restaurant.

A group of people who originally would not have had much interaction came together because of Baiju Technology. They exchanged business cards, inquired about each other's plans, toasted each other, and had a great time chatting.

……

On the other side, Li Qingbo did not neglect another group of people. They were at the Riverside Peninsula Hotel, and the standard was even higher.

Since you are here, Baiju Technology can still afford to provide you with a meal.

However, at this time, Li Qingbo's thoughts are slowly changing, and he is moving closer to Hao Cheng.

In the past, business cooperation relied on socializing and relationships. One had to smile at people and beg for help. Relationships had to be maintained.

However, it is different here at Baiju Technology. It is definitely not the case that Hao Cheng does whatever he wants. He is a person who always thinks of others.

However, he has a thread there that no one can touch.

Li Qingbo realized that he also had to change. If he did not change, he would always be a marginal character responsible for socializing. All these socializing and receptions without any nutrition would be his.

Then he would no longer be Hao Cheng's business assistant, but the lobby manager of the hotel.

Thinking of this, Li Qingbo also said: "Okay, everyone, you can revise and improve your projects and plans and submit them again. If you have any good ideas, you can apply for AI capability support from Baiju Technology. The premise is that you pass Xiaosha's evaluation and review."

This was the only sentence Hao Cheng delivered. Li Qingbo decided to implement it thoroughly. He must pull out a real project from this bunch of unenterprising companies. Otherwise, his own position in Baiju Technology would be like this.

…The next day was a Saturday, a day off.

Moreover, it is almost the New Year, which is a good time for large Internet companies to lay off employees - and they can also save on year-end bonuses.

Beijing, Xi'erqi, a large factory in Zhongguancun, the HR did not even let go of the weekend and was working overtime dedicatedly, negotiating resignation with the employees on the optimization list one by one, and had more than a dozen appointments in the negotiation room alone.

It looks like they are ready to do something big.

Ding Jianhui is one of the people on the optimization list. The reason is that the project team he is in charge of was disbanded a month ago, and the team was internally transferred to other departments, barely surviving until now.

"What are your plans for the future?" At noon, I had lunch with the department director Liu Zhiyang. It turned out that Liu Zhiyang had also been fired.

"I plan to go back to my hometown." Ding Jianhui said truthfully.

"There aren't many opportunities in your hometown, Linzhou, right?" Liu Zhiyang has been keeping an eye out for various opportunities recently. For someone of his level, he is not limited to his workplace, but is looking all over the country. It seems that there are no top companies in Linzhou.

"No, Baiju Technology is in Linzhou." The words were on the tip of his tongue when Liu Zhiyang suddenly remembered Baiju Technology. He used Xiaosha all day long, but when he thought of the domestic technology giants, such as Tencent, Alibaba, ByteDance, etc., he subconsciously ignored Baiju Technology, which had just been established for a few months.

Although Baiju Technology's revenue is still far less than that of ByteDance and Tencent, no one can say that it is not a giant.

The low revenue and short establishment time are one aspect, but more importantly, it is giving concessions everywhere, up and down. In addition, there are almost tens of thousands of small and micro enterprises across the country engaged in AI light entrepreneurship. The industry with Xiaosha as the core is now the most prosperous in the fields of Internet and technology.

Even Liu Zhiyang himself considered whether he should do something around Xiaosha.

I can't remember it for the moment, just because of the inertia of thinking.

"Is there a chance to join Baiju Technology?" Liu Zhiyang asked.

Baiju Technology is a different company. For other companies, you can still look for ways, go for internal referrals, practice interview questions, and practice algorithms, but for Baiju Technology, first of all, you have to pass Xiaosha.

It’s not easy to get through this backdoor. You can’t just give a gift to the AI used for testing and then use the backdoor. The key is that you don’t know what the AI likes!

"The only positions currently being recruited by Baiju Technology are those related to chip design. I took a test and the compatibility is only 45. There is no chance..."

"Buzz, buzz, buzz~buzz, buzz~" Ding Jianfeng was shaking his head. Before he could finish his sentence, Xiaosha suddenly started buzzing. He picked up his phone and saw, "Based on your past qualifications, there is a new position recommended."

"Quickly check where it is." As everyone knows, Xiaosha's recommendations are extremely reliable, whether for recruiting companies or job seekers.

"Simuwu Data mainly provides database-related services and has only been established for two years." Ding Jianhui's surprised expression dimmed in an instant: Domestic database companies are all small-scale operations, with three huge mountains above their heads: Microsoft, Oracle and domestic Internet giants.

However, when he glanced at the next line and saw the words "Xiaosha affiliated enterprise, Baiju Technology strategic partner", his eyes instantly lit up again.

When he saw that Baiju Technology had formed a consortium with more than a dozen companies to jointly target the top ten software companies in America, and that Simuwu was targeting Oracle with the goal of defeating it, his eyes almost popped out of his head in shock.

Taking another look at the workplace: Linzhou, Ding Jianhui instantly decided that this was the one!

Yes, these dozen or so companies are all small and medium-sized enterprises, and they are not large in scale. In the end, they decided to set up branches in Linzhou, and those with very few people simply moved here directly.

The location is near the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center of Linzhou High-tech Zone, in the area of ​​the Science and Technology New City. Find an office building to rent first, which is close to Baiju Technology.

Finally, they even decided to form a "Xiaosha Affiliated Enterprise Consortium" with a unanimous action agreement. Once the market was truly occupied, the consortium would automatically dissolve, and internal competition would remain vibrant.

Hao Cheng did not object. At this stage, they really needed to unite and face the outside world with one fist.

As for disbanding? Who knows what else will happen when the time comes that will require clenching fists and exerting strength.

On Ding Jianhui's side, after understanding the relevant situation, he quickly followed Xiaosha's instructions, authorized Xiaosha to send his past work experience and personal situation to Simuwu Data, and then conducted a job fit test.

The final score was 89, exceeding 85 - no, Simuwu's requirements were not as high as Baiju Technology's, 70 was considered qualified, and he exceeded the mark by 19 points, and he immediately became full of confidence.

……

But it's not just Simuwu Data. More than a dozen companies in the Xiaosha Affiliated Enterprises Concerted Action Alliance announced their recruitment plans almost at the same time.

"Operating system talents, database talents, image processing, GPU acceleration... all of them correspond to the top ten software companies in America. My god, Linzhou is now completely prosperous!"

I don't know who leaked the goals that Hao Cheng set for a number of companies yesterday, and the Internet was immediately filled with jubilation.

"Let's not talk about anything else. Just the fact that I work from 9 to 5 and have two days off a week is enough to make employees of a lot of domestic Internet companies envious. I want to go!"

This is also the most basic requirement of Baiju Technology's related companies and strategic partners - Xiaosha's power can save a lot of manpower, but this is by no means for companies to exploit their employees.

To put it in a high-profile way, it is to liberate productivity, free people from complex and arduous labor, and engage them in the great scientific and technological process of improving quality and innovation.

This is Hao Cheng's hope, and he will naturally not allow Baiju Technology's partners and alliance companies to violate it. Linzhou City has even expanded it to all Internet software companies within the jurisdiction of Linzhou.

The Internet enterprise culture in Linzhou also jumped from the bottom to the first overnight, which is incomparable to first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

The entire recruitment plan involves thousands of people, and all of them are high-end positions. For a while, everyone was interested and was secretly taking Baiju Technology's test questions to see if they met the relevant requirements.

At this time, Hao Cheng was making final preparations in the office: "Xiaosha Xiaosha, help me upgrade the following functions..."

【Now, GPU smart scheduling has been upgraded. 】

[Now, the thread control professional ability enhancement has been upgraded. 】

[I’m here, I’m here…]
