Technological Hegemony

Heavy snow fell all night. When I got up the next day, I couldn't see any snow on the road in Beijing, and there was no sign of freezing.

Vehicles are driving fast along the road, and the traffic is not affected at all, but the green belts covered by snow on both sides of the road are still reminding people how the heavy snow raged last night.

"Beijing has not encountered blizzard for 20 years, and its snow-removing artifacts have made a stunning appearance to ensure the safety of road traffic in the capital." During breakfast at the hotel, Hong Tao read the news headline. Well, the news report is good, it has become an artifact. "

Li Moran took a sip of coffee and picked up the bacon sandwich from the plate. He said slowly, "Although the large heater itself is not a new technology, it is powered by a wireless charging pile, so the truck can tow it. Running around the street with heaters, this simple and rude way of snow removal is just usable, and other countries do n’t have that condition. From this point, it ’s also a bit of a god. ”

"Simple and rude is not important, what is important is effectiveness!"

"It's nothing to waste electricity. It won't take long anyway, and electricity will become the price of cabbage."

"What are you talking about?"

As everyone was talking, Luo Jia came over with the dinner plate.

Breakfast is buffet. Luo Jia seems to have a good appetite today. He took two fried eggs, sliced ​​ham, mushroom seafood soup, and a bowl of udon noodles.

Wu Hongtao said, "We are discussing the removal of snow from municipal industrial heaters."

Luo Jia smiled. "Let ’s desperately engage in power generation arrays to achieve energy freedom in the future. I want to say that the heater is not much to remove snow. In the future, you should install a heater under the road. When it snows, Turn on the heater, and it's best to install another air conditioner to heat it in winter and cool it in summer.

Everyone listened to Luo Jia's words and laughed again. If there was such a day, it would be great.

早餐 After breakfast, everyone broke up.

The new energy summit held in Beijing this time was very large and was held simultaneously in many locations.

Xingchen Technology is the flagship of the new energy field. Their partners are from all walks of life, so no matter where the meeting is held, the participation of Xingchen Technology is indispensable.

According to the schedule, Luo Jia met with partners from the tire industry in the morning.

In fact, large-scale mergers and acquisitions of domestic companies have never ended. On April 10, 2018, Double Star Group defeated more than a dozen competitors such as German mainland, Michelin of France, and Apollo of India, and included South Korea ’s Kumho tires.

At this point, the acquisition of Kumho Double Star and the acquisition of Pirelli's Sinochem became the two heroes in the Huaxia tire field, while another giant headquartered in Singapore, Jiatong Tire, has in fact been controlled by Huaxia Capital.

Today, Xingchen Technology has officially entered the tire field, and has brought unprecedented black technology to the entire industry.

Like most commercial practices in the past, Xingchen Technology itself does not manufacture tires, but they provide the world's most advanced honeycomb solid tire technology and patents. The subsidiary Xingchen Chemical produces synthetic rubber that sells for more than 100,000 yuan per kilogram. Agent.

This approach is obviously clever. Assuming that the net profit of each tire is 50 yuan, Star Technology can also take away 25 yuan of profits by selling patents and synergists, and it also saves the trouble of mass production.

Shuangxing, a tyre company headed by Sinochem, officially joined Xingchen Technology's partner camp.

进入 Although entering this camp, it is necessary to share a large profit for Xingchen Technology, but Sinochem and Shuangxing are willing, because if Xingchen Technology makes its own tires, they will go out of business.

If it is not necessary, Luo Jia rarely does everything to kill everything, and always brings everyone together to make money. Over time, the strategy of win-win cooperation has allowed Luo Jia to have more and more friends in this world, even Huaxia The military is also firmly behind him.

In the afternoon, Luo Jia came to the Chang'an Hotel again. He was here to explain the safety of autonomous driving technology to the transportation department.

大规模 Large-scale testing of autonomous driving technology requires the approval of the transportation department and cannot be carried out casually. Luo Jia's personal appearance is conducive to approval.

Simply put, Luo Jia needs to issue a military order to the transportation department to ensure that his technology will not cause major traffic accidents.

I deal with higher authorities, and although some procedures are tedious, they have to be done.

He and Luo Jia also appeared with the chief executives of the three major automobile groups, as well as the chief executives of Pacific Insurance and PICC. They will provide insurance services for test vehicles.

When Luo arrived at the Great Wall Hotel, Luo Jia met Professor Ouyang.

"Luo Jia, let me introduce you. This is Zhang Qimin, the R & D director of Baidu Group. He is in charge of the Apollo project." Professor Ouyang introduced Luo Qi to Zhang Jiamin.

Luo Luojia has always been easy-going, he kindly shook hands with Zhang Qimin.

"There is still some time before the meeting, let's go have a cup of coffee," Professor Ouyang suggested.

Three people sat down in the corner of the cafe. Professor Ouyang and Zhang Qimin ordered two cups of Blue Mountain. Luo Jia felt a bit greasy at noon, and ordered a cup of black tea, plus a fruit platter.

Professor Ouyang and Luo Jia have a very good relationship. He did not go around the circle and directly told Luo Jia: "Although I know you have a competitive relationship with Baidu Group, Baidu's Apollo has already done Over the years, I have accumulated a large amount of road test data and I am very experienced in this regard. "

"The project of electric vehicles is very important. Whether Xingchen Technology or Baidu Group is our Huaxia company, if you can cooperate, that would be great."

After Prof. Ouyang Yang said, looking at Luo Jia with a questioning look, Zhang Qimin was also full of expectations.

Luo Luojia understands the mood of Professor Ouyang. He is a top expert in the field of electric vehicles. He often walks in the study room. The national team smashes blood for new energy and electric vehicles. Now the pressure is very high, and this battle can't afford to lose.

And according to rumors, Baidu was able to push Google out of Huaxia, and they also had support in the study. From the perspective of the big men, it seems that Xingchen Technology and Baidu have the possibility of cooperation.

Luo Luojia started to muddy, and Gu left and right.

Cooperation is to share profits, Luo Jia does not feel the need to share profits with others, and Star Technology does not need Apollo's technology.

According to the original direction of the matter, Luo Jia passed away. Professor Ouyang is not a person with no eyesight and can understand Luo Jia's mind.

It was a coincidence that Enron came at this time.

He was talking about cooperation with electrical machinery companies in the morning. Seeing that the ultrasonic motor project is about to be completed. To produce ultrasonic motors beyond the times, partners need to purchase new equipment. Enron must arrange for them and take time to purchase and expand production.

"You are here."

Anran came over and sat naturally next to Luo Jia. When he saw Zhang Qimin was relatively unfamiliar, he asked curiously, "This is it?"

"I am the person in charge of the Apollo project of the Baidu Group. Today I came to Mr. Luo specifically to discuss cooperation." Zhang Qimin said.

Luo Luojia suddenly had a bad hunch in her heart. Anran's pure and straight character did not understand and was too muddy. He would not play Tai Chi. He always said what he thought.

So Luo Jia hurried to pull Enran so that he did not talk nonsense.

Unfortunately, Enron's thinking and speaking speed were too fast. Luo Jia did not hold it, and Enran blurted out directly. "Your system, there are more than a thousand loopholes to talk about, is it necessary to cooperate?"

Uh ~

Everyone was dumbfounded, and Zhang Qimin's face rose to red.

Apollo is an open system, and has now disclosed nearly one million lines of source code.

的 The disadvantages of open systems are that there is no place to hide, how well the code is written, and whether each module is designed exquisitely. Everyone looks at it.

Zhang Qimin did not expect that Enran was so indifferent to his face. He barely suppressed the anger in his heart and said stubbornly, "General Manager, you ca n’t talk nonsense. As far as I know, you are a mechanical and electromechanical person. The aspect is completely layman, and you have a good opinion of things that you don't understand. Do you seem to think too high of yourself? "

"We have hundreds of partners around the world, and we have conducted large-scale drive tests in North America and Huaxia. If there are so many loopholes, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

I'm finished ...

Luo Luojia's heart mourned for Zhang Qimin, who wouldn't provoke him, and what did you provoke to Enron?

仁 This man is something you can't afford!

Enron listened to Zhang Qimin's words and raised his eyebrows, sneer and said, "You don't mention North America, I forgot. In 2017, you only had four test cars in California, and you accumulated a total of 1972 miles and 48 manual interventions. The average Interventions every 41.08 miles set the worst record for autonomous driving. "

"Also in 2017, Google's WAYMO company invested 75 test vehicles and accumulated a cumulative total of 352,545 miles ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ 63 manual interventions, with an average of 5559.95 miles before they intervened in the autonomous driving system. The reliability is 136.2207 times yours. "

然而 "However, Google still feels that WAYMO's self-driving technology cannot meet the standards and has actively withdrawn from the competition. As you, 136.2207 times worse than Google, how can you say that the technology is mature?"

Enron is indeed Enron. Star Technology ’s hardest steel straight man directly took the data to the nearest four decimal places. Zhang Qimin was speechless and his entire face was green.

It's a pity that this straight steel man not only has an upright character, but also speaks very fast. It is revealed that Apollo's bad North American test data is not the end, but the beginning.

After a little pause, Enron continued to say at a rapid pace: "In the positioning module, you used RTKGPS and IMU, but I did not see the KalmanFilter plug-in from the source code. I wonder if you ignored it or the technology was not up to standard. Did not dare to release it. "

"The idea of ​​open source is very good, but you must have enough technology to support it. You can find an open source project in the field of robots, such as ROS, Drake, and other source code. You will know by comparison. It is not that you give a framework and provide a bottom layer. Hardware drivers can support a large open source community. "

"In addition, the velodyne 64-line lidar that you recommend has a starting price of up to 75,000 US dollars. As a Silicon Valley startup, velodyne has at best the world's second-tier technology, which is fine. You actually sell velodyne's customized second-line products. Reaching the sky-high price? I doubt whether you want to do technology, or do you want to make money as crazy as search?
