Chen Xu and Luo Xiyun stayed at home for one night and then went back. Before leaving, he left 5 million in his parents' account and asked them to buy the house after they had found it.

This is a small county town, and the house prices are only a few thousand yuan, enough to buy a villa.

For a period of time afterwards, Chen Xu went to Yunxu Company every morning to help design a new generation of VR glasses.

In Yunxu Company, except Luo Xiyun, including Secretary Guo, all the people are new recruits. All the people recruited into the company are freshly graduated college students.

No matter what their original level was, these employees would not only be unable to help but also be a hindrance within a period of time and would have to learn a lot from Luo Xiyun.

Luo Xiyun does not intend to use the current VR device architecture, but instead plans to design a new set of chips and programming languages ​​from hardware to software.

As for software, Luo Xiyun was able to handle it, so those ten years of study were not in vain.

It’s just that there is still something missing in the hardware, it’s stuck at some link.

After Chen Xu arrived, the problem was solved in no time. Different from computer chips and mobile phone chips, the chips of VR devices focus more on visual processing, more like graphics cards.

In fact, this processor, named as the first generation of future VR glasses, is like an enhanced version of the graphics card, and of course it also integrates other functions.

After the processor design was completed, Luo Xiyun began to register a patent. This chip, which is specialized in processing three-dimensional images, uses a completely new architecture, which is completely different from the chips used in current mainstream VR devices. It is more efficient.

After completing a series of patent registrations, Luo Xiyun began to write papers and published them in major journals.

She does not have the confidence and capital like Chen Xu. She publishes papers to enhance her own fame and at the same time to attract more talents to enter this field.

In the IT industry, there is no such thing as fighting alone. If you want to succeed, you must bring in a large number of followers and form a standard to block the competitors behind you.

As powerful as Apple phones are, they swept away all competitors as soon as they appeared, making people think that they were going to dominate the world. However, they were later overtaken step by step by the more open Android.

It can be seen that it is not a good idea to eat alone. If you offend public opinion, you will only push others to your enemy.

When you eat meat yourself, you should also leave some soup for others. Win-win is the best way.

Moreover, if VR devices want to develop, they must rely on content. Whether it is games or videos, they will need a lot of talents to join in.

Therefore, the fastest way for Luo Xiyun to become the most authoritative figure in this field is to publish papers, not only in hardware, but also in software.

While writing the paper, he also implemented the product. It probably won’t be long before he can create a sensation in the industry.

…………

The weather is getting cooler.

When Chen Xu got off the car, he realized that summer was over and winter was about to set in. In this city, autumn was almost unnoticeable.

Most pedestrians on the street are still wearing short-sleeved shirts, and many girls are wearing short skirts and shorts.

It was past eight in the morning and the sun was still shining brightly. He put on his sunglasses and walked towards the entrance of the building.

Following behind him, it became another secretary who looked rather ordinary. There was no other way. It was hard to find another secretary like Secretary Kim who was very pretty, capable, and hardworking.

In fact, this was already the fifth secretary he had hired. He had recruited the previous ones according to Secretary Kim’s standards, but they either had poor abilities, poor attitudes, or both.

What's worse, some of them openly seduced him. This was too unprofessional, so he fired them decisively and lowered the standard of appearance.

The current secretary is named Wen, who has just graduated from college. He is diligent and down-to-earth, doesn't talk much, is very smart, and works very hard. Although he still lacks some abilities, he is worth training.

"Great God."

When Chen Xu walked into the elevator, he happened to meet an employee of Yunxu Company, who was looking at him excitedly.

He has gotten used to being addressed like this. Most of the young people who have just graduated are born after 1995, and their work style is different from that of his generation, which can be reflected in the way they are addressed.

"Good morning." He smiled and nodded. He had been busy with other things for the past month, and only found time today to come and check on their progress.

He asked, "I heard that you are going to attend an exhibition in a few days? Have you already made the first generation of equipment?"

"Yes, the first batch of dozens of units was produced and was just shipped back to the company yesterday. President Luo organized everyone to test it overnight. As long as there are no problems, we will participate in the electronics exhibition in a few days." The man's tone was full of excitement.

"oh."

Chen Xu went straight into Luo Xiyun's office and saw her sitting on the sofa, wearing a pair of VR glasses. The shape was similar to other VR glasses on the market, but it looked smaller. The outer shell was black with a frosted metal surface, which looked very high-end.

Beep, beep, beep…

As he approached, the VR glasses started to ring.

Luo Xiyun took off his glasses, saw that it was him, and said, "You're here."

Chen Xu asked, "What was that beeping sound just now?"

Luo Xiyun explained, "The infrared sensor will make a sound when someone approaches to alert the user. Now time is tight, so I can only make this relatively simple device. In the next generation, I will integrate it into the circuit board, so that I can send a text message to remind the user on the interface."

Chen Xu said, "You really are striving for perfection. To add such a function, the chip needs to be redesigned."

"If you're going to do it, do it to the best of your ability." Luo Xiyun stood up and took out a small cardboard box from under the table, saying, "This is for you. Take it as a souvenir."

Chen Xu opened it and saw that it was a pair of VR glasses with laser engraving on the side, which read "The first generation of future vision VR glasses, number 001", and the date next to it.

“It’s very collectible,” he said.

"You have contributed to this, too."

Chen Xu said, "It's not cheap to make this. This chip uses a 7-nanometer process, and a single tape-out costs hundreds of millions, plus packaging and testing, and other accessories. The cost of this machine is estimated to be more than one million."

Luo Xiyun said, "After large-scale production, the cost will naturally come down."

Chen Xu asked, "Do you still have funds?"

Luo Xiyun said, "I borrowed 500 million from my father."

Chen Xu said, "I will invest in it and make Yunxu Company worthy of its name."

"Do you still have money?" Luo Xiyun was a little surprised. She knew what Chen Xu had been busy with this month.

I don't know how he persuaded the city to allocate a large piece of land to him, and also gave him many preferential policies to build the largest data center in the country with a budget of 10 billion. This matter was even reported in the news.

Chen Xu did not plan to leave this task to others. He set up a company and poached a team from a foreign company that built data centers. Construction has already started.

Chen Xu said, "10 billion is the market price. I designed and built it myself, so it won't cost that much. Besides, the data center has just started construction, so the initial investment is not large. I can still come up with 1 billion now, so I can exchange it for 30% of the shares."

"Then you're at a disadvantage, aren't you?"

"The old man said it well. Sometimes, taking a loss is actually taking advantage. When your company goes public, how much will these shares be worth?"

Luo Xiyun rolled her eyes at him but didn't reject the proposal. She realized how difficult it was to start a business. She had just sold her mother's family fund, but it had only been a short while before the money was all gone.

As a last resort, she had to go to her father, and he promised to give her 500 million, but she did not accept it and wrote an IOU stating that the money was borrowed.

She didn’t know how long these 500 million yuan would last. If she spent it all and had no income, she would have no choice but to look for an investment company.

She also knew that there was another way, which was to ask Chen Xu. As long as she asked, Chen Xu would get her any money. But she didn't want to. If she did that, she would not be able to hold her head up in front of him in the future.

Now, she could still accept Chen Xu's proposal to invest. After all, the product had been made, and the most difficult period had been overcome, so a little premium was normal.

Moreover, do I really have to separate so clearly from Chen Xu? If I really want to settle the accounts clearly, it will also hurt the relationship between the two.

She asked, "Since you have become a shareholder of the company, you have to go to the electronics exhibition in three days."

"Okay." Chen Xu agreed immediately.

"Oh, right. I heard that the electronics exhibition will open with a female singer named Bai."
