Shenzhen Town.
The atmosphere within Huayao Company has been a little off these days.
Especially the company's senior management, who have been holding closed-door meetings for several consecutive days. Every time the executives walk out of the meeting room after the meeting, their faces are like thick cumulonimbus clouds, gloomy and serious, and a little scary.
This atmosphere was then passed on to the middle and lower-level employees of Huayao, causing everyone in Huayao to be shrouded in anxiety and depression.
It seemed as if a storm was coming and every employee was a little breathless.
I haven't felt this way in a long time.
Even a few years ago, when Huayao was suppressed and banned by the United States, the company was not pessimistic. Instead, morale was boosted and momentum was high, as if they had won a great victory.
But the recent response from the top management has been a bit off, and the sense of impending storm has begun to make some employees uneasy.
So, what exactly happened?
…
Inside the high-level strategic meeting room.
This is the sixth time.
The sixth internal review meeting attended by Huayao’s senior management continued.
According to the old man's request, yesterday's review meeting was not deep enough and did not touch the soul. Today we must go deeper until everyone's soul is touched.
According to the order of sequence, the first person to pick up the speech and make a deep self-examination was Yu Dazui, who was directly responsible for the matter.
Yu Dazui stood up and picked up the speech for the sixth time. His expression was numb and serious. He felt that the looks cast at him by everyone were only more serious than yesterday.
He said slowly in a low and hoarse voice:
"Regarding Huayao's failure to cooperate with Dark Technology's 'intelligent AI technology,' a major strategic mistake, I, Yu Dazui, should bear full responsibility. I should accept dismissal, public criticism, or even outright expulsion... No matter what punishment the company decides, it will not be excessive."
"I have become the great sinner of Huayao's 270,000 employees. It was me who brought Huayao's survival into an extremely dangerous situation."
"No matter how I defend myself, no matter what excuses I find, I cannot escape blame, and nothing can cover up my mistakes."
"Yesterday, the old man said I was proud, conceited, and arrogant, and that I was only capable of managing twenty engineers. I don't think he quite hit the mark. I'm actually arrogant, conceited, self-righteous, and ignorantly arrogant! I'm just Zhao Kuo, a man who only knows how to talk big. Not only am I incapable of leading the company forward, but I'll actually cause disaster! The damage is enormous!"
"I underestimated Dark Technology. I thought the only advanced technology they could come up with was the 'Intelligent Optimization Assistant.' I never imagined they were at least ten years ahead of us in artificial intelligence technology."
"I could make excuses, saying their company is small, with only a few dozen people, and even fewer involved in programming. So, based on common sense, I'd assume it's just a small company with some unique technology, and it's impossible for them to go further or faster than us in the field of artificial intelligence..."
"This backward and conservative common sense is the cause of the current disastrous consequences. In fact, from the "Intelligent Optimization Assistant", it can be seen that Dark Technology Company has a group of top talents and some cutting-edge technologies. Even if the field of artificial intelligence is not as exaggerated as the other party's president said, there must be some merits. There is value in cooperating with them. At the very least, we can conduct some technical exchanges with them and evaluate their specific level of advancement."
"But my arrogance and ignorance prevented me from thinking in this direction."
"The old man's criticism is correct. Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, but arrogance is! But I am not only ignorant, but also very arrogant. I have become the biggest obstacle to the survival and development of Huayao Company!"
"The solution now is to eliminate obstacles like me within the company and promote humble, cautious, and always aware of a strong sense of crisis talents to replace me and lead the company forward."
"Only in this way can Huayao weather this crisis and barely survive in the harsh market competition environment."
I listened to Yu Dazui’s self-reflection.
All the executives were shocked and couldn't help but tremble.
ruthless.
Old Yu is so cruel!
The self-examination he made yesterday was already very profound, but he didn't expect it to be even more in-depth today. He completely positioned himself as a "sinner" who must be cleared out of the company.
"Master, I'm also wrong!"
At this moment, another executive suddenly stood up and spoke out, "I made the same mistake as Old Yu, and even more serious. I thoughtlessly rejected Dark Technology's 'artificial intelligence' technology and even led the way in mocking and dismissing it. I should bear at least 80% of the responsibility!"
"I also laughed along. I was just as arrogant and asked the company to fire me."
"Although I didn't laugh, I also didn't offer any appropriate or helpful suggestions. I remained silent when I shouldn't have been... I made mistakes too."
“…”
One by one, executives stood up.
Criticizing myself one after another.
Except for the old man sitting at the top, all the executives present believed that some of them were ignorant, some were arrogant, some were silent and irresponsible, and more or less, they all had a hint of fatal arrogance.
After all, Huayao has grown from small to large, from weak to strong over the years. Nothing it wants to do has failed, and nothing it wants to achieve has not been unattainable. Even when it encounters encirclement and suppression, it quickly climbs out of the trough and becomes stronger and stronger.
The journey seemed to be too smooth, so he developed some pampering and arrogance, and began to look down on others, even to the point of being arrogant.
This is very dangerous and scary.
"That's enough. Stop repeating the same old stuff."
The old man finally spoke, scanning the crowd: "You must remember the lesson this time; reflection on this incident is far from over!"
"There are mountains beyond mountains and there are heavens beyond heavens. Huayao is not invincible! There are heroes everywhere!"
"Even if Huayao is defeated by a new technology company that day, don't be surprised. There are no eternal winners, only eternal change and progress."
"This round of reflection and self-examination has come to a temporary end. It's just the same old routine over and over again, with no new ideas at all. Stop talking about resigning and throw all your resignation letters in the trash. Also, don't let on. If you can't complete this next task, get out!"
"My mission is, no matter what method you use, no matter what means you use, no matter the cost, you must take down Dark Technology and obtain 'artificial intelligence technology'! We are running out of time. If we don't obtain this technology from Dark Technology, once it is widely promoted and applied, the fate that awaits Huayao will be death!"
"Pack your things and go do this! If you can't do it, don't come back. There's no place for you in the company."
The old man glared with eagle eyes and spoke in a stern voice.
All the executives looked stern and answered in unison: "Yes!"
First set a small goal, such as remembering in 1 second: Shukeju
