1991 Starting from the core - Chapter 1000

c998 Take a quick look at the flowers

Leonard walked at the back of the crowd.

Compared with these young friends, he is obviously older, and his identity is not just as “simple” as an ivideo video blogger.

He is the founder of BBSTL, the most authoritative electronic consumer product evaluation laboratory in the industry, and the Technology Explosion Laboratory. He has served as the moderator of computer forums for several years.

His relationship with Yuanxin comes from when he was still studying at Stanford. He and his companion Rajesh went to the Yuanxin store to secretly review the newly launched Xbook, and met Carter, the global president of Yuanxin, who pretended to be a customer. gentlemen. And because of his relationship with Carter, he was given the privilege of getting the best media location tickets for FarCoin’s Silicon Valley press conferences every time.

As for his acquaintance with Su Yuanshan, of course he had interviewed Su Yuanshan at close range.

He just didn’t know if Su Yuanshan could still remember him.

As a top student from Stanford, Leonard did not choose to enter a technology company after graduation like Rajesh. In fact, Rajesh had already joined Yuanxin’s Silicon Valley R&D Center. Instead, he persisted with his original interest. Continuing on, now he not only owns a studio of more than ten people, but also has become a benchmark in the increasingly influential evaluation industry because he has always stood for a relatively objective and fair stance.

To put it bluntly, he himself is the “idol” of this group of young people who love digital.

But Leonard knows that his true idol is upstairs.

…

“The showroom displays all the achievements of Yuanxin over the past twenty years. Of course, these are product types. There are also many technical achievements that cannot be displayed for everyone to see – but if you are interested, you can go to the laboratory to learn about it. ”

Lin Kelin stood in the showroom hall and introduced to everyone.

Amid the exclamations, someone immediately asked: “Including Pandora and NEWBEE?”

Lin Kelin nodded with a smile: “Of course, all laboratories are open, but some technologies and results involving commercial secrets may require everyone to sign a confidentiality agreement.”

“By the way, let me make a small suggestion.” Lin Kelin looked at everyone: “Here are all our products. If you are willing, you can stand in front of the display cabinet of the Far Core product you are using for the first time. Take a group photo. I personally think…this might be more meaningful.”

Someone in the crowd laughed and said, “Oh, that’s a really good idea to show your age.”

Having said that, everyone still followed Lin Kelin’s suggestion and found their own “favorite” products for group photos.

Leonard was no exception. He followed the year and found the first Yuanxin product he used – Yuanxin MP3.

“It’s a pity that such an excellent product was directly replaced by mobile phones.” Leonard saw Lin Kelin standing next to him, smiled and put the MP3 in its place.

“This is the charm of technological progress.” Lin Kelin smiled and replied: “Mr. Leonard, should you go up to the fifteenth floor to find Mr. Shan yourself, or should you let the staff take you there?”

Leonard was startled: “Can you go up by yourself?”

“Of course. But I still suggest… that you get to know Yuan Xin today, and then talk to Mr. Shan tomorrow – he is free these days.”

“OK, thanks.”

“You’re welcome.”

…

After visiting the showroom, everyone ate snacks in the lounge nearby, joined the WeChat group, and discussed where to go next based on the park map.

Soon, everyone chose the next route based on their own preferences – although the specific routes were different, everyone’s choices were surprisingly similar, and everyone chose to go to the R&D Center.

Leonard is no exception.

But unlike others who went straight to Pandora and NEWBEE, the two famous laboratories, he chose the YOS studio and planned a route from YOS to Jingwei and finally to Pandora.

After walking out of the administrative building, Lin Kelin led everyone outside the carport, pointed to the rows of blue bicycles and introduced: “These unlimited-use bicycles are an environmental protection plan we implemented more than ten years ago. Then everyone You may also know that the popular shared bicycles come from this plan.”

As she spoke, Lin Kelin rolled out a bicycle. After riding it, she put one leg on the ground and asked with a smile: “Is there anyone who doesn’t know how to ride a bicycle? If not, you can take the electric sightseeing car over there.”

As a result, three or four people actually raised their hands in embarrassment.

After letting those people get on the electric sightseeing car and asking the master to drive at a slow speed, Lin Kelin led a large group of people on the car and rode along the park road straight to the R&D center.

“What we are passing now is the dormitory community in the park. It extends for one kilometer to the back. It is a community with more than 8,000 houses for 10,000 people. Most of the headquarters employees live here.”

“Including Yuanxin’s management?”

“Yes, all management has housing here.”

“What about you, Miss Lin?”

“Of course I do too.”

“Isn’t it a little far from the main urban area and CBD?”

“Haha, this is the main city area.”

The breeze carried the conversation between Lin Kelin and the people next to her, as well as Lin Kelin’s laughter: “Outside the west gate of the community is the most prosperous area of ​​​​the city, a new technology city where technology companies gather, and the country’s first-class CBD – —If you are interested, you can go and visit. There are Microsoft China Headquarters, ESO China Headquarters, Midstream International Headquarters, Giant Group Headquarters, Amazon China Headquarters… Anyway, the top 100 IT technology companies in the world, you You can see them all here.”

“Wow!”

“Okay, now we have entered the R&D center area – this row of buildings are Yuanxin’s industry-university-research laboratory buildings. Because they involve joint research and development with schools and other scientific research departments, they are not open to the public for the time being.”

Everyone felt sad for a while. But Lin Kelin still stopped and gave everyone a chance to take pictures.

“This is the canteen a long time ago. Before the expansion of the Yuanxin headquarters, this was where all employees ate. We can see that there are beautiful grape trellises and rainy weather promenades on the roadside, just to facilitate walking when it rains. of.”

“That fifteen-story building used to be an administrative building, but now it is the working place of the Communications Research and Development Center.”

“There is an artificial lake in front of you…see those small buildings on the other side of the lake? Those are the independent laboratories of Yuanxin.”

…

Leonard listened from behind and felt the scenery and layout of Yuanxin.

In his view, Yuanxin is not so much a company as a small park—no, not a park, but a campus.

And it’s a campus with beautiful scenery.

He saw birds flying towards the artificial lake in the sky.

Arriving at the lakeside by bike, Lin Kelin stopped and looked at everyone: “Okay, if you want to go to Pandora and NEWBEE’s friends, take the left and cross the suspension bridge in the middle of the lake.”

“Mr. Leonard, if you want to go to the YOS laboratory, go to the right.”

“Thank you – should I go directly?” Leonard looked around and found that no one was walking with him, so he couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

Lin Kelin smiled slightly: “If you don’t mind, I will accompany you.”

“OK, thanks.”

…

Lin Kelin’s other colleagues and the large group headed to the suspension bridge, while she and Leonard were still riding their bikes around the lakeside.

After passing a peach forest, Lin Kelin parked the car on the side of the road.

“this way please.”

“Thank you.” After Leonard parked the car, he adjusted the position of the GoPro, took out the camera and took a few photos, and then followed Lin Kelin to the end of the peach forest.

After walking a few steps, a beautiful horseshoe-shaped building came into view.

In front of the building, the three letters YOS stand tall, directly talking about the topic without any greetings or disguises.

Of course Leonard had to stop and take a photo – it was Lin Kelin who took the photo for him.

Entering the building, Lin Kelin seemed to be in a deserted place. She introduced him and led him to the second floor.

“Do you want to take a look at the work site, or do you want to talk to the R&D director?”

Leonard coughed lightly: “If everything is possible, that would be the best.”

“Okay then, I’ll take you to the R&D director first.” Lin Kelin smiled brightly, then went directly to the elevator next to her, and then went up to the sixth floor.

After going up to the sixth floor, Leonard found that there was no concept of an office at all on the entire sixth floor. There were no workstations, and the employees were very loosely distributed—it looked more like a large coffee shop.

Many people were sitting together in twos and threes, drinking coffee and communicating casually.

Seeing that Leonard was a little stunned, Lin Kelin smiled slightly: “This is the kernel development area. The workload is not very heavy, but any change is important…”

“Yeah, so the working environment is also very good.” Leonard nodded quickly, not hiding his envy in his eyes.

“Actually, the working environment of independent laboratories is very good – creativity is the foundation of our progress.” Lin Kelin introduced in a low voice, while saying hello to several employees next to her, and also introduced to Leonard by the way. .

Of course, she didn’t stop, and Leonard was naturally not in a position to do the interview. He just kept an eye on the GoPro lens so that he could get the best results.

After walking through the lengthy work area, Leonard followed her to the end.

“Mr. Chen.” Lin Kelin knocked on the door.

“Xiao Lin? Who is this?” Chen Gang raised his head from behind the computer and looked at Lin Kelin and Leonard behind her in confusion.

“Friends who came to visit Yuanxin.” Lin Kelin pursed her lips and smiled: “Do you have time for an interview?”

“…Ah, yes.”

Chen Gang was just stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded with a smile, then stood up from behind the desk and faced Leonard.

“Hello, my name is Chen Gang, and I am the head of YOS Laboratory.”

Leonard looked at Chen Gang’s job badge. The vice president of Yuanxin R&D and the two-digit job number on it made him a little stunned for a moment.

——Is this true feeling? The person in charge of YOS?

…

Inside the office.

Su Yuanshan answered the phone and then heard the complaints from Xi Xiaoding.

“What do you think you are doing with a bunch of Internet celebrities?”

“Brother, don’t underestimate Internet celebrities.” Su Yuanshan laughed: “These people, whether it is the ivideo channel, WeChat Moments, or Weibo…their influence is really not Covered.”

“…Co-author, you asked them to advertise? Are people willing to advertise?”

“We have a lot of visitors, so everyone can get what they need.” Su Yuanshan turned his chair, changed into a comfortable position, and said with a smile: “Aren’t I also waiting to be interviewed?”

“…If you say that, I can accept it a little bit. But I still reserve my opinion. These people are too capable of making trouble…and each one of them seems to have never seen the world.”

“Normally, they are just digital bloggers, not professionals who have access to the cutting-edge of scientific research. But you have to admit that they are the group of people who know best how to convey technology and ideas to ordinary people – many people here are engaged in science popularization. ”

“Are they still with you now?”

“I’m leaving. I heard they’re going to Laotian. Yuanxin is so big, I feel like they’re just looking at things here.”

“It’s just a quick glance. Do you still want to have an in-depth conversation with someone in the industry?” Su Yuanshan smiled again: “Don’t worry, senior brother. This time it is definitely OK.”

“All right.”

After hanging up the phone, Su Yuanshan looked at the time again.

Well, it’s almost time to get off work…

It seems that this group of people will not be able to finish their visit today.

But then, his phone rang again.

It belongs to Lin Kelin.

“Mr. Shan, are you free now? Mr. Leonard plans to interview you.”

Su Yuanshan was startled for a moment, then replied: “Yes, but it’s time to get off work. I’ll wait for you on the road.”

On the phone, Lin Kelin was obviously stunned for a moment: “Is it appropriate?”

“It’s appropriate.” Su Yuanshan laughed: “It’s an ordinary thing, what’s inappropriate?”

…

Leonard’s mind changed quickly.

When he realized that Yuan Xin was truly “undefended” in facing his group, the thought of seeing Su Yuanshan right away could no longer escape his mind.

So when he faced Chen Gang, the father of YOS, he was so nervous that he couldn’t ask the questions he had carefully prepared for a long time.

Chen Gang was too excited and nervous to see him, so he took the initiative to introduce YOS’s current work progress, future optimization directions, etc.

“Did Professor Su agree?” Leonard had already followed Lin Kelin into the elevator.

“Yes, agreed, let’s ride there.” Lin Kelin didn’t mind walking a little longer with Leonard.

However, when they came to the place where they had just parked, they didn’t know who had taken the car away… In addition, employees were already leaving get off work one after another at this time, making it even harder to find a car.

“Looks like we can’t do any exercise, let’s take an electric car there.” Lin Kelin said, taking out her keys and walking towards an electric sightseeing car parked on the side of the road.

Immediately afterwards, she pressed the switch, and the sightseeing bus headed straight along the park road to the new district.

Five minutes later, she saw Su Yuanshan and Fu Zhenhua approaching on bicycles.

“President Shan is here.” Lin Kelin stepped on the brakes and looked back at Leonard.

All she saw was that this big shot in the review industry, who said he had a relationship with Shan Zong, was in a state of indescribable shock.

To use a fashionable saying, this person is all Smecta.
