Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 166: Chapter 149: A Genius at Scouting Talents_2

Then.

The original lab was relocated.

Xu Chao could only move north to work in the new lab at Yanhua University. He was clearly an ’outsider’, having nothing to do with Yanhua University, so being in a new place was like starting over.

He was even less fortunate than Qian Hong.

Qian Hong, still in the process of her doctorate, managed to get a part-time lecturer position, which brought in a decent income.

Xu Chao was merely a doctoral student recruited by the lab, not even an assistant researcher, and could be seen as a temporary worker in the lab. He definitely wanted to continue his research work and strived hard for it. But the prospects of achieving any remarkable results in a short time seemed very difficult.

Zhao Yi had some understanding of Xu Chao’s situation. After careful consideration, he realized that Xu Chao would make a good target for talent poaching.

Highly educated!

Competent!

His current job prospects were quite average, as a mobile postdoc it was hard to discuss about permanent positions, he hadn’t been working in the capital for long, it was unlikely that he would have any sentimental attachments.

"He’s the one!"

Zhao Yi immediately sent a message to Xu Chao, "Brother Chao, I’m planning to start a business, are you interested?"

...

Yanhua University, the Laboratory of Intelligence and Automation.

This newly established laboratory was headed by Professor Liu Guangzuo, who was also the director of the scientific research department of Yanhua University Graduate School, the deputy director of the Artificial Intelligence Society, the deputy director of the Intelligent Robot Professional Committee, a member of the Intelligent Automation Professional Committee of the Automation Society, the editor-in-chief of the Transaction-on-Intelligence-Technology journal, and so on.

Having that many titles, Liu Guangzuo’s research skills were certainly not lacking.

He had devoted much of his time to teaching, scientific research, and industrialization work in fields such as computer vision and hearing, pattern recognition, and image processing. He has led more than 10 national 863 projects, 973 projects, and natural science fund projects, and has published more than 100 academic papers entered into SCI/EI searches.

Of course, he also won numerous related awards at home and abroad.

Such an excellent leader was enough to lead a significant lab. Liu Guangzuo and another professor, have been engaged in state projects for a long time.

Professor Luo Zhijin, the Vice Dean of the Information College, was the ’third man’ in the lab.

Luo Zhijin had a very clear understanding of his own research capabilities. He was not as good as the previous two professors, so he simply dedicated himself to promotions, fundraising, talent recruitment, etc. Luo was responsible for the overall finances of the lab, except for special projects.

Being responsible for this part was quite a headache.

The Laboratory of Intelligence and Automation was a computer-based lab, which came with most of the problems computer labs generally face.

The other two professors spent most of their time on national projects. The progress of the projects was always satisfactory, this helped maintain their ’key’ status. If they made significant progress, there was a chance they could gain more recognition. However, implementing national projects could only grant basic funding. For the lab to develop, it needed more funds, which necessitated the need to carry out some commercial projects.

Luo Zhijin was handling commercial projects.

Unlike Zeng Wenjun, who wanted instant gratification, Luo had a better understanding of scientific research. He mostly accepted small projects and led the research and development himself.

Xu Chao was Luo’s best "officer".

Xu Chao had only been working in the lab for a short while after obtaining his doctorate. However, Luo discovered that Xu’s capabilities were not much inferior to his own, lacking only in breadth of knowledge, experience, and management skills.

Luo considered Xu Chao highly. He allowed Xu to work on core projects and even promised him, "Once you complete this project, you can publish related papers. Build up your portfolio, and you’ll be promoted to Associate Professor in a few years."

"Keep working hard!"

"You’re young and should strive more. You’re the one with the most potential in the department!"

Xu Chao nodded solemnly and then continued his overtime work.

On a break, Luo Zhijin made a cup of tea in his office. He suddenly thought of Zhao Yi, a computer genius who was able to invent algorithms before even entering university, his level of expertise as an undergraduate was incredibly exceptional.

When the time comes, the lab will have another main member, which would greatly increase the efficiency of their work.

"I do have vision, and I know how to seize opportunities!"

"I was able to poach Zhao Yi..."

Luo Zhijin was so pleased with himself for successfully poaching Zhao Yi, yet, until the day Zhao Yi started school, his success in poaching was partial at best.

He quickly opened Penguin Number and sent a message, "Zhao Yi, it’s almost New Year’s, the school is distributing New Year’s gifts, tomorrow I’ll go to the logistics department and arrange a package for you! By the way, where should I send it to?"

Zhao Yi was idly waiting for Xu Chao’s reply. When Luo Zhijin mentioned the benefits, he immediately sent his address and postal code.

New Year’s gifts?

If it’s for free, take it!

"Thank you!"

Zhao Yi thanked Luo Zhijin, and as he was about to type, he realized there was a new message. The icon belonged to Xu Chao. He used a shortcut key to open it, and casually closed the chat window with Luo Zhijin. freewēbnoveℓ.com

...

Xu Chao had been working overtime on the project, but his computer was always online on Penguin Number. All of a sudden, he noticed that Zhao Yi had sent a message, and he casually glanced at it.

"Brother Chao, I’m planning to start a business, are you interested?"

Start a business?

Xu Chao was a little puzzled, and then he replied with interest, "What kind of business? Didn’t you say that you are still going to college? Why all of sudden do you want to start a business?"

He considered it as regular small talk.

Zhao Yi replied, "Going to college and starting a business are not contradictory. Speaking bluntly, I am currently researching a very practical intelligent system. I have already seen some results. I’m planning to research it further and then commercialize it. If you join, we can work together. There will be a lot of money-making opportunities."

Xu Chao paused for a while, becoming much more serious, "Can you talk about your research?"

Soon. frёewebnoѵēl.com

He received a video link.

Upon opening, it was a video of an experimental robot. Under the instruction of voice command, it went to the side... to make a cup of instant coffee?

Xu Chao watched the video over and over again, rubbing his eyes vigorously to see every detail clearly and found no discrepancy.

He took a deep breath and immediately replied, "Let me think about it!"

Zhao Yi smiled.

On the other hand.

Luo Zhijin saw that Zhao Yi had replied with an address but not a word afterward. He asked with some confusion, "Zhao Yi! It’s late, what are you busy with?"

Zhao Yi saw the message and immediately replied, "Sorry, Professor Luo, I was a bit busy just now. Apologies for that. Thank you so much for the New Year’s gifts!"

"No need for formalities! No need! You go ahead with your work."

Luo Zhijin replied to the message and lay back in his chair.

Looking at the brightly colored ceiling, he felt extremely good. He gave a thumbs up, turned it towards his face, nodded seriously, and said affirmatively, "Luo Zhijin, yes, you’re a genius!"

"A genius at discovering talent!"
