Chapter 200 Old Friends (Part 2)
When Wei Hongsi returned to the company, the lunch break had just ended. He called Xia Shiyu into his office and explained the work arrangements to him.
Xia Shiyu asked, "Shall I go there now?"
"Yes." Wei Hongsi handed him the car keys. "You can drive there."
Xia Shiyu said, "No need, I have a car. Actually, I drove here this week and it's been parked in the company's underground parking lot."
Wei Hongsi almost forgot that Xia Shiyu was a rich second-generation heir, as well as a proxy shareholder and director of the company. He also recalled Xia Shiyu's driving skills, which were already at the level of an experienced driver.
"Then I'll recommend a ZhiXun friend to you, add him." Wei Hongsi took out his phone and recommended Feng Weixu's ZhiXun friend to Xia Shiyu, "Just give him your license plate number, and you can drive straight into the school."
Xia Shiyu asked, "How should I address the other person?"
Wei Hongsi said, "He's my senior, so you can just call him Teacher Feng."
Xia Shiyu nodded and said, "Okay." After adding Feng Weixu as a friend and coordinating the matter, he said goodbye and left.
Wei Hongsi turned on his computer and turned the GH0.2 design he had discussed with Feng Weixu and Jiang Haiyang that morning into an executable plan, which he then sent to the project department's laboratory.
He then went to the 11th floor, called the engineers in the lab together, and gave them a face-to-face briefing. The engineers then followed his instructions and began to work systematically.
Seeing that there were no problems, Wei Hongsi returned to the 16th floor, went into his office, sat down in front of his computer, and checked the progress of various tasks through WD.
The workload for the project team has surged this week, especially in the last three days, and everyone is almost overwhelmed. Therefore, when Jiang Haiyang asked for more manpower, Wei Hongsi was unable to help, and could only send Xia to provide some assistance.
The increased workload primarily stems from analyzing the subconscious negative impacts of video content. The relevant evaluation standards, officially implemented, have become mandatory testing standards for all overseas video content entering the country, covering a very broad range.
Currently, only Zhiwei Technology is capable of handling this business. The CDD project department is responsible for the actual work.
Although the official progress was very fast, Wei Hongsi received the news in advance and made preparations ahead of time.
He did not concentrate all the work in the CDD project department. A large number of basic analysis tasks were distributed to various departments of the Cognitive Research Center, mainly the Second Department. The project department only did tasks such as distribution statistics and verification analysis of abnormal data, which was enough to keep up with the workload.
But this is just the beginning; the number of such commissioned projects will continue to rise. Moreover, this standard will soon be fully implemented nationwide, inevitably leading to an explosive increase in business volume. Therefore, the project team will need to hire more staff to meet the demands of the increased workload.
However, for long-term considerations, the company does not intend to take control of all businesses in this area.
First, the market is too large, and forcing a company to take a bite could easily cause many adverse reactions, thereby affecting the company's overall development strategy. Second, the government cannot allow a private enterprise to monopolize this field for a long time, and other institutions and enterprises will inevitably be introduced in the future.
Furthermore, once this standard is fully implemented, many industries will be affected, and the participation of more companies and institutions can help share the pressure and risks.
Therefore, the company proposed to the authorities that it should share this task with official agencies and other enterprises. Their initiative in proposing this allows the company to negotiate better terms, such as requiring other organizations to share relevant data with Zhiwei, to ensure the continuity and effectiveness of the research, which helps to solidify Zhiwei's leading position in the field.
Early Tuesday morning, Gu Shiming led a group of company representatives to Beijing to report to relevant leaders along with Director Liang. This was the reason why Director Liang wasn't at the headquarters when Wei Hongsi went there that day.
The CDD project team assigned Lu Jiaqi to accompany the team to Beijing, also to lay the foundation for future external work coordination.
After Lu Jiaqi proactively expressed her desire to transfer to the CDD project department last week, Wei Hongsi submitted an application, and her entire work group was quickly transferred over. This was Lu Jiaqi's first important task after joining the project department.
Wei Hongsi was considering the project team's personnel replenishment plan when there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in." He turned around and saw Lu Jiaqi push the door open and walk in. He smiled and nodded to her. "When did you get back?"
"This morning," Lu Jiaqi replied, sitting down opposite Wei Hongsi, handing him a document, and reporting on her business trip.
Overall, things went smoothly. The official response to Zhiwei's requests was positive, and an exchange meeting was scheduled to be held at Zhiwei next Wednesday, led by relevant departments in Beijing. Representatives from three state-owned institutions, as well as two companies, "Yuanxu Technology" and "Deep Vision Matrix," will participate.
This result is not surprising. There are not many companies capable of undertaking this task. Together with Zhiwei, Yuanxu, and Shentong, they form the first tier of this industry. The three companies are headquartered in Beijing, Yuecheng, and Pengcheng, respectively, located in the three most economically developed regions of the north, east, and south, in ideal locations. Therefore, it is perfectly normal to include these two companies in the first batch.
Wei Hongsi also knew that after he reminded Director Liang that the "psychological virus" needed to rely on a cognitive mirroring system for post-processing, both companies had undergone official investigations. The fact that they were now able to undertake this task indicated that the investigations were over.
After listening to Lu Jiaqi's explanation, Wei Hongsi nodded and said, "Very good. You must have had a hard time on this business trip."
Lu Jiaqi smiled and said, "It's nothing hard. I just run errands with President Gu and the others. Thank you, President Wei, for arranging the office for me."
"Then you don't need to thank me. Li Xuan and the others helped you clean up. I didn't help at all."
"You've left me the big office, I should be thanking you."
"Since you've brought your elite troops here, I can't treat you poorly. It has to be befitting your status as President Lu."
Lu Jiaqi's current office is next door; it used to be Wei Hongsi's temporary office, and it's much bigger than her office in the Eighth Department.
Lu Jiaqi smiled slightly, stood up to take her leave. Seeing Wei Hongsi's clothes, she sat down again and said, "Mr. Wei, I have a small suggestion."
Wei Hongsi looked at her: "Please speak."
Lu Jiaqi said, "Now that you're a leader in the company, shouldn't you consider your style of dress?"
Wei Hongsi glanced down at his polo shirt and said, "To be honest, I'm actually being quite careful. Before, I wore collarless T-shirts to work. I don't know much about this, so why don't you just give me some advice?"
Lu Jiaqi smiled and said, "Okay."
