Back then, Kechuang Bio's research and development center in Cambridge basically poached the entire SecondMind research and development team.
At the time, Goldman Sachs and IDG Capital preemptively invested in SecondMind after receiving the news. They not only tried to sell their shares to Kechuang Bio at a high price, but were also unwilling to relinquish their controlling stake.
Therefore, Kechuang Bio simply established a dedicated R&D center in Cambridge and poached all its staff.
For small, research-driven companies like this, the most valuable assets are their talent and data.
Since Kechuang Bio doesn't manufacture cars, SecondMind's data isn't of much use to them.
By poaching people, the goal of scientific and technological innovation has already been achieved.
Moreover, science and technology-driven biotechnology is also quite attractive.
Kechuang Bio is hailed abroad as one of the most attractive Chinese employers.
When Chinese internet companies go global, news often emerges about their corporate culture failing to adapt to the local environment.
Similar to ByteDance's establishment of a branch in England, which resulted in a wave of complaints about excessive overtime, leading to a resignation of more than half of the e-commerce team members.
However, Kechuang Bio is not so competitive, and its benefits are comparable to those of Apple and Google.
Compensation wasn't the most important factor. The reason why Kechuang Bio was able to poach most of Secondmind's R&D team was that the work was more interesting and challenging.
Where can I find an AI platform for tuning and testing engines that is challenging to develop brain-computer interface AI chips and AI algorithms?
After listening, Li Wanqing replied without much thought:
"I will do my best to do my best."
This is the kind of answer a manager with a science or engineering background would give, so they wouldn't make definitive statements. A manager with a business background would definitely give a more absolute answer.
Even if they have a science and engineering background, Indians would answer: They would definitely develop top-notch biochips.
Even in Silicon Valley, compared to Chinese people, Indians are more adept at forming groups, expressing themselves, and art of expression.
Li Wanqing continued, "Chairman Zheng, I have another request. Could you please purchase a few more of the latest Beiming No. 2 biological storage servers?"
I want to conduct some tests to figure out the internal logic of the biochips in the bio-storage server, and ideally, reverse engineer the manufacturing process.
Of course, reverse engineering is extremely difficult, almost impossible.
The biological storage server produced by Huawei has now reached its second generation, namely Beiming II.
Compared to Beiming-1, it has significant improvements in storage density, read/write latency, and data security.
However, this improvement is due to a more thorough understanding of biological storage media, rather than DeepBlue Storage's improvement on the biological storage technology provided by Merlin.
Moreover, currently, four regions worldwide—China, Russia, America, and the Europa Union—are capable of manufacturing biological storage servers.
Among the more than ten manufacturers capable of producing biological storage service servers, Huawei has taken the lead in achieving technological optimization.
Biological storage servers have become another calling card for China's high technology. As the technology spreads, China has also relaxed export controls on this product.
Because the latest Beiming-2 uses cutting-edge biological storage technology, it is still subject to certain export controls, so much so that only Singapore has obtained one unit in Kechuang Bio's overseas R&D center.
There was only one unit, and it was still in use. Li Wanqing didn't even know where to begin when he wanted to disassemble it for analysis.
In addition, due to its leading position in the field of biological storage, Huawei has announced that it will develop biochips, with the goal of creating biochips that interface with biological storage media.
Having been blocked in the field of silicon-based chips, Huawei hopes to break through in the field of biochips.
After Li Wanqing finished speaking, Zheng Li replied directly: "Have the comprehensive department allocate two units to Singapore. You contact the vice president in charge of external liaison and have him coordinate with Huawei."
The collaboration in the industrial VR field makes Huawei highly value its relationship with Kechuang Bio. Huawei is unlikely to refuse such a request.
After finishing her conversation with Li Wanqing, Li Miaomiao followed closely behind, needing to discuss some recent developments with Zheng Li.
"Zheng Li, Song Zhiwen has regained consciousness. The doctors in London say he has a mild concussion and some bruises on his limbs."
His medical report indicates that the power of water is limited, and its threat to humans is also limited.
I have already extended my condolences to him remotely on behalf of the company.
They also said they would give him a long leave, allowing him to rest for two months before returning to work.
Zheng Li: "Okay, that's good. Song performed very well this time."
Li Miaomiao nodded and said, "If Song Zhiwen runs away, it will cause a major public opinion crisis."
The foreign media are waiting to find fault with us.
Kechuang Bio's brain-computer interface products are frequently featured in major overseas media outlets.
The news was mostly negative, with the most common story being a user experiencing discomfort after connecting their brain to a mobile phone.
In the past two years, with the advent of Neuralink's brain-computer interface technology for mobile phones, the health problems caused by brain-computer interface technology for mobile phones have been significantly reduced.
The current trend is to talk about health problems caused by using brain-computer interface (BCI) VR. One user developed a mental disorder after using BCI VR, and the media is forcibly linking this to BCI VR.
These aren't major issues, but they're still really annoying.
Li Miaomiao continued, "Song Zhiwen and his team were all given extended leave according to their job titles."
As we expected, the sales peak of brain-computer interface VR in the first two days after its launch in the Europa League was somewhat affected.
