Chapter 3527

This day, Hou Wenchang came to Baozhou again. He came to Baozhou, of course, to meet Su Xinghui again. Now, as long as he had time, he would come to meet Su Xinghui.

The rise of Hanhai Technology, the reason for it, was because of Su Xinghui's ideas. Su Xinghui not only gave them many good ideas but was also an excellent tester. After Su Xinghui tested Hanhai Technology's products, he could always propose the best improvement plans, making this product more perfect and more in line with user needs under current technical conditions.

Hanhai Technology's full line of products, almost every one that came out was a hit. Up to now, there was basically not a single failed product, which was entirely due to Su Xinghui's credit.

Others didn't know, but Hou Wenchang knew it all too well.

Now the Hanhai Generation I mobile phone was a hit for a time, but Hou Wenchang didn't feel that he could sit back and relax. He knew that as a technology-based enterprise, innovation capability was their core competitiveness. Therefore, every time Hou Wenchang came to Baozhou, he would chat with Su Xinghui, because he believed that Su Xinghui would bring him infinite inspiration.

Su Xinghui, of course, also liked chatting with Hou Wenchang. In this way, the memories he brought from his previous life would not be wasted. In this world, the only person who could understand his words and could be completely trusted was probably Hou Wenchang alone.

Now Hanhai Technology's technical level had developed to a certain degree, and their volume had reached a critical point. The so-called quantitative change leads to qualitative change. There were some more high-end technologies that Hanhai Technology could now start to research.

In fact, these technologies had already been researched by the Hanhai Research Institute before, but they had not been systematized. Su Xinghui's guidance now was to let them further systematize these technologies.

Hou Wenchang did not disturb Su Xinghui during his working hours but invited him to eat after work. The two sat opposite each other in a private room, slowly drinking liquor. No one knew that the topics they were chatting about at the dinner table were major topics sufficient to change the landscape of the future technology world.

Su Xinghui talked to Hou Wenchang about several aspects today: first, big data; second, cloud computing; and third, artificial intelligence.

These technologies were all the mainstream development directions of the technology world in the future, and they had commonalities, but each had its own focus.

These technologies, Hanhai Research Institute, of course, had also dabbled in each, but because there was no clear understanding of the development direction of future technology, the research was not deep, and there was no systematic research.

Of course, this was also because the technical performance of the Hanhai Generation I mobile phone was excellent, bringing the greatest revenue to Hanhai Technology. Therefore, Hanhai Technology's investment in this area was the largest, and the investment in other areas was inevitably less.

But Su Xinghui knew that these technologies were all the most mainstream technologies in the next ten years or more, and even had a huge impact on the landscape of world technology. Therefore, today he wanted to take this opportunity to let Hou Wenchang increase investment in these areas to seek a leading advantage in these areas.

Listening to Su Xinghui's eloquent talk, Hou Wenchang was also very shocked. Su Xinghui's thinking was too clear, and his analysis made Hou Wenchang very convinced, believing that these technologies would be the focus of the development direction of future world technology.

In fact, Hanhai Technology also had innate advantages in the research of these technologies.

For example, Hanhai Technology was now the "big brother" in China's online shopping industry, occupying half of the online shopping market, which gave them a great advantage in big data. They could use big data to adjust their business strategies, formulate personalized recommendation strategies for individual users, and achieve precision marketing.

This was a manifestation of big data, and in other aspects, big data also had very important uses.

Of course, to be precise, big data was a science, not just a technology. To utilize its uses to the extreme, cloud computing needed to be used.

Cloud computing could coordinate and call the storage and computing resources of hundreds of thousands or even millions of servers according to user needs. Such huge computing power could process massive data streams at high speed to analyze the results humans wanted.

And artificial intelligence, which was using huge computing power to let intelligent machines possess intelligence similar to human intelligence, such as learning ability, computer vision, and even eventually developing to possess human emotions, etc.

In fact, Hanhai Technology's research had already dabbled in artificial intelligence, such as the face recognition unlocking technology being researched by the Hanhai Research Institute using the camera of the Hanhai Generation I mobile phone, which belonged to the field of artificial intelligence.

Hou Wenchang would also often tell Su Xinghui about what technologies Hanhai Technology was researching, so Su Xinghui also knew the technical progress of Hanhai Technology like the back of his hand. Every time he chatted with Hou Wenchang, it was equivalent to helping Hou Wenchang sort out his thoughts. He was very clear about which direction to invest more in and which direction to invest less in.

This allowed Hanhai Technology to take fewer detours, or even no detours. In this way, Hanhai Technology's development in technology was naturally rapid.

This time, Su Xinghui helped Hou Wenchang determine several technologies that needed to be focused on in the future. As long as Hanhai Technology made breakthroughs in these technologies, it would establish a leading position for the next few decades.

Hou Wenchang nodded repeatedly after listening to Su Xinghui's words. He had always been convinced by Su Xinghui's words. Since it was a technology that Su Xinghui favored, it must be the technology most worthy of Hanhai Technology's research and development.

Hou Wenchang said, "Then I will focus on researching and developing these technologies starting next year."

Su Xinghui said, "The most important thing is talent, especially artificial intelligence. This is mainly an algorithm, so the importance of talent is still very great. If you can find talent with expertise in this area to lead this project, this project will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Hou Wenchang understood Su Xinghui's meaning. Big data and cloud computing were mainly based on the performance and computing power of servers. As long as there were enough servers and the performance was strong enough, important results could be obtained, and the dependence on people was relatively small.

But for the technology of artificial intelligence, the leader must understand many disciplines, such as computer science, mathematics, psychology, and even philosophy, and needs to have very rich imagination and creativity. This had very high requirements for people. In the context of increasingly professional talent in modern society, talent who could have great achievements in these disciplines was truly very rare.

Hou Wenchang nodded and said, "I will do my best to attract the best talent in the world in artificial intelligence to join Hanhai Technology. Since you say these technologies are the most mainstream technologies in the future, then I will spare no cost."

Hou Wenchang had always spared no cost in technological research and development. His thinking was different from some companies. Some companies put trade first and were unwilling to invest too much in technological research and development, just to make money.

And Hou Wenchang's personality was not the kind that only liked making money. He liked the feeling of standing at the peak of technology more. Therefore, he had always been willing to invest in technological research and development, and technological research and development had made him earn more money. This was a virtuous cycle.

For example, Hanhai Technology's recent technological achievements had all brought them exceptionally fruitful results. The physical method of preparing polycrystalline silicon technology, as well as the Hanhai Generation I mobile phone, had simply become Hanhai Technology's "cash cows." Every day, this money flowed into Hanhai Technology's account.

Hou Wenchang tasted the sweetness, and Hanhai Technology's development focus naturally fell more on technological research and development. This also allowed Hanhai Technology to reach its current height and become one of the most innovative companies in the world. And Hou Wenchang's future goal was to remove the words "one of."

Su Xinghui said, "There are some small companies that have already made achievements in artificial intelligence. You can also directly acquire them. In this way, your technical accumulation in artificial intelligence can be thickened all at once, and acquiring such companies can also absorb a lot of talent."

Hou Wenchang nodded repeatedly. Currently, there were indeed many small companies starting businesses in the IT industry at home and abroad. Many companies had very good ideas. They started businesses based on an idea and also made no small achievements.

However, compared with giants like Hanhai Technology, these companies were still considered small companies. Such companies, when developed to a certain point, were often acquired by big companies.

Hanhai Technology, of course, had also done such things, acquiring
