Chapter 51: Genius, you are wrong this time!
"Well, I have indeed chosen it." Fu Daobin looked embarrassed.
“But there’s a problem.”
Luo Yao tilted his head slightly, not sure what question could stump him.
"According to your plan, we will increase our research and development of high-end chips. However, we are short of manpower in this area, so we are thinking of having you lead a team to develop high-end chips."
Luo Yao thought that this was not a big problem. With the system and his intelligence, it would not be difficult to make a high-end chip. But why did Fu Daobin look so embarrassed?
Do you think he can't do it?
Seeing that Luo Yao remained silent, Fu Daobin continued, "The higher-ups need you to enter the newly built factory, which is deep in the mountains."
Going to the mountains?
Luo Yao had always been thinking about how to quickly learn the necessary knowledge and master various difficult problems. Things that seemed normal to ordinary people took him a while to react to.
For example, some large-scale projects require scientific research teams to concentrate on research, so they can only be built in remote places to minimize interference.
Most ordinary people knew about this, but Luo Yao didn't.
Apart from being interested in specific areas, he was too lazy to learn other knowledge. Now that Fu Daobin mentioned it, it was obvious that he fell into his blind spot of knowledge.
After Fu Daobin's explanation, Luo Yao finally understood.
This means they want to lock him up in the mountains.
To be honest, he was a little excited.
After going to the mountains, I don’t have to travel so frequently and can focus on scientific research.
That was the life he longed for.
Fu Daobin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Luo Yao happily accept the request.
You should know that Luo Yao is now one of the most valuable scientific researchers in China. On the one hand, the leaders want to put him in the mountains temporarily for the purpose of developing high-end chips, and on the other hand , for the protection of Luo Yao.
Although Huaji's security work is well done, Luo Yao is young, and who knows when someone with ulterior motives will contact him.
At the age of 16, a child's character has not yet been fully established, so the best way is to protect Luo Yao first to prevent him from being polluted by messy people.
However, the leaders had good intentions, but they forgot about the people around Luo Yao.
"Then can I bring people from Shannon Lab? They are my team members."
"Yes, as long as it helps you, it's fine."
After Luo Yao and Fu Daobin finished their conversation, they returned to Shannon Laboratory.
At this time, his team members were playing games.
"Damn it! This is the wrong time to charge forward! Isn't this courting death?"
"I have a strategy, everyone can listen to it!"
"Boss Ye, please tell me!"
"Let's just stall for fifty minutes! Let's see whose phone runs out of battery first!"
"Boss Ye, please move aside! Let Sergei do it!"
"Fuck! Hurry up and get in! Everyone, get in!"
"Yeah! We won!" The eight people in Shannon Laboratory jumped up collectively and cheered for this moment of victory.
The next second, they saw Luo Yao who had been standing behind them.
The eight people knew that playing games at work was a sinful act of slacking off, so they quickly swallowed the cheers that were about to come out.
"What you did just now reminded me of the ancestors of mankind - the apes."
Eight people: ...
Just when the eight people who had reverted to their original form dared not speak, Luo Yao asked Sergei, Wu Tianming and Wang Ye to go to his office alone.
"Sergey, do you know if there are any of us who can trade stocks?"
"Me." Sergey took a step forward and sat on the new sofa in the office. He said with a smug look , "So you want to trade stocks? I'm familiar with that."
"If you want to gamble, go find the third one."
Luo Yao never knew his team was so "full of talent" that there were even people who knew how to play the game.
"Fuck! Sergei, what are you trying to teach our boss? He's such a good person, what's wrong with him?"
"Boss, please don't be curious about these things. You are a good kid, and if you get involved with them, your life will be ruined!" Wang Ye thought Luo Yao was just a curious person, so he quickly advised him.
"In fact, if you can avoid touching stocks, it's best not to. The stock market is full of all kinds of experts, one after another, constantly spitting out opinions. In the stock market, there is a saying that goes, 'To listen to your advice is like working for ten years more.' It's a deep water in there, so it's best not to get involved." The last thing Wu Tianming wanted to touch in his life was stocks. Although money could be made quickly, it could be lost just as quickly.
"Aren't stocks just a bunch of basic financial models, beta coefficients, probability theory, etc.?"
"If I master these things, can't I control the direction of the stock market?"
Sergei looked at Wang Ye, Wang Ye looked at Wu Tianming, and all three of them were stunned.
After all this time, it turns out that this genius doesn't particularly understand the stock market.
Models? Advanced mathematics?
If this is true, wouldn’t scientists make a fortune?
"Luo Yao, do you know how much Newton, the famous physicist and mathematician, lost in the stock market?"
Luo Yao shook his head.
"He lost ten years' salary in one go," Sergei said with regret.
"So if you want to invest in stocks, you have to listen to me, a professional."
"Are you professional? How professional are you?" Luo Yao clearly remembered that Sergei's profile did not have this specialty listed, so he asked curiously.
"I'm an asset manager on Financial Street." Sergei said proudly. He looked at Luo Yao, thinking that the other party was going to praise him, but unexpectedly, Luo Yao still had no expression.
“How many years have you been in this business?”
"Uh, ten years."
"Bullshit!" Wang Ye couldn't help but yell, "You're only in your twenties, and you say you've been in this business for ten years? Are you people from Big Bear Country really that tough?"
"The identity must have been stolen." Luo Yao quickly came to a conclusion.
It’s not Luo Yao’s fault for having the wrong idea. It’s because Luo Yao has a deep-rooted impression of the Big Bear Country.
When he was exposed to computer technology before, he accidentally saw that the top computer experts in the Big Bear Country might not be in major companies, but in the hacker alliance.
This hacker alliance is quite interesting. They specialize in robbing the poor to help the rich. They steal the credit cards of the rich in the ugly country to help the poor in their own country.
A modern-day Robin Hood.
In addition to stealing credit cards, many of these hackers also like to crack various genuine software. Many versions of the EDA products of the three major giants were cracked by them.
Of course, it is a crack, but the function is not complete.
This also leads to the fact that the Big Bear Country hardly produces its own chips and relies entirely on imports.
If you take some shortcuts too often, you will become more and more lazy.
Who would develop genuine software when they can use pirated software?
In the eyes of the Big Bear people, this is an extremely wasteful of time and cost.
Of course, under such circumstances, it is difficult for many industries in the Big Bear Country to develop.
So when Sergey said he had been in the industry for ten years, Luo Yao's first reaction was that this guy had stolen someone else's identity.
"Shit! How did you know?" Sergei was a little scared, but the other party had a higher IQ than him, so he quickly figured it out.
"That's true, but I'm experienced and have made millions of Ugly National Currency before."
Wang Ye's eyes widened: "That's good, brother! Teach me someday."
"No problem, but I want to know why Luo Yao is interested in the stock market."
"It's simple. I want to make money from the U.S. stock market."
Luo Yao said this expressionlessly, causing the other three to burst into laughter.
"No, boss, tell me you must be joking, right?" Wang Ye leaned against the wall, holding his stomach, and felt his abdominal muscles ache from laughing.
In the eyes of the three of them, Luo Yao was deliberately telling jokes to lighten the mood.
But Luo Yao just looked at the three of them and said in confusion, "Is there anything wrong with me making money from the Ugly Country?"
"We can't let them fleece us forever, can we?"
The three of them gradually stopped laughing because they realized that Luo Yao seemed to be serious.
Luo Yao picked up a whiteboard marker and wrote as he spoke: "Everything is cyclical, and cycles are all about supply and demand. All markets follow the same pattern."
"That is, market demand rises—capacity expands—overcapacity—price wars—and the market reshuffles."
"The equipment and raw material supply disruptions currently being caused by the three EDA giants will soon impact the entire chip market."
"They will definitely raise the price to make money from us, so I'm wondering if there's anything we can do at this point?"
Life in the mountains was so boring, Luo Yao decided to find something else for the team to do.
Otherwise, this group of people will play games again when they have free time.
