Chapter 588 Machinery City
Yunding Gong's eyes were clear and he said: "I heard that several large companies under the Tianxing Group use an intelligent management program. Is it true?"
Zhang Jun nodded: "Yes, our Tianxing Group built a supercomputer equipped with a super system, and we use it to manage the enterprise."
Yunding said fairly: "That's it. The essence of Fugui Gang is a company. If you let people manage it, there will definitely be problems, because people can't think as carefully as computers."
Wenzhou interjected: "Your idea is very creative, but it is impossible and the cost is too high. Even the companies under the Tianxing Group cannot fully use intelligent management."
"Yes, what the boss said makes sense." Mr. Yunding nodded, "But we do not rely entirely on artificial intelligence, but use artificial intelligence to build a reasonable reward and punishment system."
Zhang Jun became interested now and nodded slightly: "You continue."
Duke Yunding immediately spoke out his inner thoughts. He has three suggestions. The first is to formulate a strict code of conduct. What the gang members can and cannot do must be strictly implemented. Any violation will be severely punished.
Everyone agrees with this first point, because the Fugui Gang is very large. The number of gang members currently exceeds 500,000. If there is no strict code of conduct and punishment system, once someone comes out to do evil, the situation will become out of control. .
In fact, the Fugui Gang was established with the acquiescence of the state, but even so, there is still a Sword of Damoris hanging over its head. Once it threatens national interests, it will be eliminated as soon as possible.
Undoubtedly, strict behavioral standards are a necessary condition for the existence of the Fugui Gang, and punishment conditions are a necessary condition for the implementation of the code. Both are indispensable.
Yunding Gong's second suggestion is very innovative and eye-catching. He believes that the composition of the Fugui Gang is complex and the organization is complex and large. If you want it to operate efficiently, you must create a scientific and efficient command system, and at the same time, you must have a strict and appropriate reward system.
Regarding the directive, he mentioned that each member can be given a smart device, which can be used for the following purposes. Not only can it record what members of the Fugui Gang did on a certain day and time, but it can also receive instructions from superiors.
In terms of the reward system, Yundinggong proposed the concept of "merit points". The so-called merit points are to use artificial intelligence to quantify everything done by the members of the Fugui Gang into merit points.
For example, if a clerk in a hotel affiliated with Fugui Gang works hard every day, he can get a certain amount of merit points for every thing he completes.
Another example is a certain management member of the Fugui Gang. He successfully completed an investment and earned one billion for the Fugui Gang. He can also receive merit points.
Through this kind of quantification, artificial intelligence can quickly distinguish what kind of talent a member of the Fugui Gang has and how much credit he has made, and then reward him according to his merits.
In the end, when the merits are truly carried out, each member will be quantified. Ultimately, the number of merit points will determine whether a person is promoted, where he is promoted, how much bonus he gets, etc.
After hearing this statement, Zhang Jun was very interested. The development of the Fugui Gang has always been a worry for him. He naturally knew that such an organization that was neither black nor white was difficult to manage, and he had already expected that something like this would happen.
Although Duke Yunding's suggestion was not perfect and had many loopholes, it broadened his mind.
He thought for a while and said: "I will seriously consider it. You write a detailed plan for me. Don't be anxious. If you have time, go to the Fugui branches in various places."
"Yes!" Yunding said impartially.
Next, he gave his third suggestion, dividing the Fugui Gang into two parts. One is the operations department, where projects such as hotels, ### centers, nightclubs, etc. are all managed by them. The other department is the Social Resources Department. Although the name sounds nice, it actually means the underworld and is responsible for some shady things.
Wenzhou did not express his opinion on this idea, but his two younger brothers disagreed, feeling that doing so would cause chaos.
Zhang Jun asked Wenzhou: "What do you think?"
"It's feasible." He said calmly, "But it's very troublesome, and it might even cause civil strife."
Zhang Jundao: "I think the suggestion is good. From now on, the two departments will clearly divide the work and adopt a cooperative approach. If there is a disease, it must be treated. Now that the Fugui Gang is sick, it is time to take medicine or even have an operation."
After Duke Yunding finished speaking his suggestions, he withdrew. After he left, Wenzhou said with emotion: "This man has great ideas and is very special."
Zhang Jun smiled and asked him: "Do you think he can be used?"
"It's very useful." Wen Zhou said, "Let him be the general manager of a district, which is a bit unfair."
"After all, he is still young and needs training." Zhang Jun said, "Guide him. Whether the Fugui Gang can break through the bottleneck may depend on him."
Wenzhou nodded: "I understand."
In the afternoon of that day, Wenzhou held a video conference with the management of the Fugui Gang. Deacons, bosses, and eldest brothers from all over the country all participated in the meeting.
Wenzhou's words were very harsh and his tone was cold. He even said "we need to deal with some bad apples", which frightened the people below.
Zhang Jun temporarily stayed at the headquarters in East China, and the reform of the Fugui Gang must be put on the agenda as soon as possible. To this end, he contacted Xiaoqiang and mentioned Duke Yunding's suggestion.
After hearing this, Xiaoqiang smiled and said, "Leave the pediatric affairs to me."
Then he mentioned: "Boss, we still need some money here."
Zhang Jun's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly straightened his face: "Is it still your 'Machine City' plan?"
"Yes." Xiaoqiang said helplessly, "This time we not only need money, but also people. The more, the better."
It turns out that what Zhang Jun and Xiaoqiang discussed last time was the so-called "Machine City" plan. Xiaoqiang's first universal machine tool has already been manufactured. With this machine tool, he can manufacture most of the equipment in the world. They range from airplanes and tanks to semiconductor components.
After owning the universal machine tool, Xiaoqiang felt that he could finally put it to use, so he wanted to build a city, a machine city, that would be managed and controlled uniformly by it without manual operation. In the Mechanical City, he can do anything and make anything.
Zhang Jun was shocked when he heard the plan for the first time and immediately rejected it. He completely ignored Xiaoqiang's rhetoric about invention and research and development, but asked coldly: "Do you want to give yourself something to do?" Build a playground?"
Indeed, if the Mechanical City is really built, then Xiaoqiang's abilities can be fully unleashed, and the consequences it will have that even Zhang Jun could not predict would be Xiaoqiang's amusement park.
However, Zhang Jun was finally convinced. In the final analysis, the mainstream of society is still the power of science and technology. He feels that he should give it a try, maybe there will be unexpected gains.
The most important thing is that Xiaoqiang said that once the Machinery City is built, smart hospitals, smart factories, etc. can be built on a large scale, which can save Tianxing Group a lot of operating costs.
The prospect of the plan is attractive, but it will require a lot of investment to realize it. Building a mechanical city requires a large amount of industrial materials, such as semiconductor materials, precious metals, chemical raw materials, petroleum, etc. The purchase list listed by Xiaoqiang is more than 300 pages long. If you buy all these things, it will cost about 100 billion US dollars.
What troubles Zhang Jun the most is that he not only needs funds, but also manpower. Zhang Jun had to transfer a large number of scientific researchers and senior technicians from 28 companies such as Twelve Brothers Electronics, Tianxing Automobile, Tianxing Precision Instruments, and Tianxing Group, and let them all obey the small and strong orders.
In addition, there is land. Xiaoqiang believes that in order for him to build a mechanical city, he must have a land area of more than 6,000 square kilometers.
Six thousand square kilometers of land, that’s 10 million acres of land! It can match the area of a medium-sized prefecture-level city, where can he go to find it?
Moreover, even if the land cost is 50,000 yuan per acre, that would still require 50 billion U.S. dollars, which is not a small amount.
It is difficult to acquire such a large piece of land. It can be said that it is unprecedented. No developer has done such a thing, not now and never in the future.
In the end, Zhang Jun had no choice but to build the mechanical city in the Gobi in the northwest region. The land price in that place is cheap, and it is the territory of Chen San Province, so it is easy to talk.
For this matter, he might have to go to the northwest to contact Chen Sansheng.
Xiaoqiang judged from Zhang Jun's expression that his boss was very annoyed, so he quickly said: "Boss, this is a good thing. Last time you asked me to contact scientific researchers from all over the world, I have been paying attention, and currently I have locked 6,000 There are many potential talents. I have already contacted them, and after negotiation, about 40% of these people are willing to join our team."
Zhang Jun was stunned: "You want money just to invite them?"
"Yes, there are a total of 2,800 people. Each person has about two million U.S. dollars in resettlement expenses. This amount requires six billion U.S. dollars. In addition, these people are very dedicated to scientific research, so we need to pay their five hundred Multiple scientific research projects provide large amounts of scientific research funding, totaling more than 50 billion US dollars."
Zhang Jun felt dizzy for a while. He felt that his family fortune was about to be wiped out by Xiaoqiang, so he asked with a sullen face: "Do you think I can spend tens of billions of dollars more?"
Xiaoqiang: "Yes! The boss can get a loan from Shennong Bank, and I can pay it back within five years at most."
Zhang Jun was stunned. The bank has always been managed by Xiaoqiang, so he naturally had some plans. After thinking for a while, he said: "This Machinery City will definitely not make any money within five years, and will instead absorb money. Although all the companies under the Tianxing Group are making money, they are one piece at a time, and funds cannot be misappropriated indiscriminately. The investment I gave you before was all my personal working capital, and you have almost spent it all."
Xiaoqiang said: "It doesn't matter. The boss can set up a company and all the funds can be obtained through loans. I said that it can be repaid within five years."
Zhang Jun thought for a while and said, "Okay, I will handle this matter myself and help you secure the land."
"Great, thank you boss!" Xiaoqiang shouted happily.
