Since Siya last participated in an exclusive interview on the TV station's "People Chronicles" program, her company has also become one of the major artificial intelligence companies that have attracted attention in the industry. Xia's professionalism and charisma have also won the company the favor of more investors. They hope that the company will continue to grow and develop and eventually become a leading company in this field.
Today, Xiya convened all investor representatives and the core team to discuss the company's future development plan.
Xiya started to speak first: "Thank you for your continued trust and support. We have initially established an artificial intelligence technology research and development framework, and have reached cooperation with a number of institutions, and are developing solutions for finance and medical care. AI solutions for several major industries."
She paced back and forth in the conference room. Although she should be confident in the company's development as CEO, she has to face such a group of business elites and academic authorities. They accept herself. The decision was not easy.
"Dear directors, we have entered a critical period in the development of the artificial intelligence industry. If we want to make greater breakthroughs and gain the favor of the capital market, we must take bolder and more radical measures. We We need to increase investment in research and development, expand the size of the team, and launch products for the public..." Xiya expressed her views straight to the point.
“Dr. The research and development cycle requires dual investment of time and funds. "
"We can keep up with the time, and we can continue to invest. The key is output and effect," Mr. Wang, the investor representative, said unceremoniously. Interrupting Li Mingxuan, "The products you develop are still in the laboratory stage. If you want to go on the market and gain the favor of capital, you must gain recognition from the industry and the public in the short term."
"The company is now We should be committed to developing practical and stable artificial intelligence technologies and products, which requires us to be more closely integrated with real scenarios and deeply understand the details of different industries and businesses."
After listening to the heated discussion between the two parties, Xiya said. Then, her eyes suddenly froze, as if she had some inspiration, and she slowly said, "Perhaps, we can consider cooperating with mainstream media. The last interview in "People's Chronicle" gave the public a preliminary understanding of us. We should pursue our victory. ."
She leaned forward slightly, tapping her fingers on the table, her tone gradually increased, and her eyes flickered, "With the influence of the media, we can jointly produce an artificial intelligence-themed reality show. Expanding our influence is also a good opportunity for product trial operation. ”
“We can test the maturity of the technology through TV effects and determine the next development direction based on audience feedback.” He raised his lips, glanced at everyone, and said confidently, "What do you think of this idea?"
Sia's suggestionThe proposal made the investor representatives’ eyes brighten. This is exactly the publicity effect and market strategy they want to see.
They looked at each other with approval and seemed to be very interested in this suggestion. The R&D team still has doubts. They are worried that TV programs will divert resources and affect the progress of core technology research and development. But there is no denying the opportunities this proposal brings.
After detailed discussion, everyone finally reached a consensus and agreed to trial run the project within three months, with R&D investment strictly monitored and controlled by Li Mingxuan.
In three months, success or failure is uncertain. But at least, in this discussion, the company finally took an important first step on the road to development. Siya breathed a sigh of relief, although she knew that the bigger challenge had just begun...
After the meeting, Siya walked up to Li Mingxuan and patted him on the shoulder affectionately: "Mingxuan "You must be very thoughtful about the discussion just now. Can you talk to me?"
Li Mingxuan smiled helplessly, "How dare I, the little R&D director, disobey the cEo's instructions?"
p>
The two came to Shia's office and closed the door. Xia's expression also became serious, "Mingxuan, actually I understand your concerns, but we really need a breakthrough now. This opportunity is rare. If we miss it, I don't know if there will be another one. What do you think of our technical strength? Is it really difficult to support this program?"
Li Mingxuan thought for a while and said slowly: "Technically, we have made certain progress, but there is still a certain gap between commercial application." He frowned. He frowned and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, as if he was not yet convinced about this judgment.
After a while, he raised his head and said in a slightly more relaxed tone, "But you are right. It is indeed important to grasp the precise timing. If this can be used to promote artificial intelligence knowledge and let the public understand it, Understanding our products is of great significance to the development of the company."
His brows furrowed again and his eyes became sharp. "My main concern is that once the show is launched, what will happen next. The research and development progress may be affected and resources will be dispersed. If we can strictly control the research and development investment and ensure that the core technology is not affected, then it may be acceptable to pilot this program."
"I understand. , Mingxuan, that’s what we’ve decided.” Xiya clapped her hands, her eyes serious, and her tone unquestionable, “Mingxuan, 25% of our company’s total budget has been allocated to the R&D department within three months. The proportion of investment in the total budget must not exceed the 25% limit. If the actual need exceeds, you must report to me and justify."
Xiya looked at Li Mingxuan, her tone softened slightly, "As long as it doesn't. If it affects the progress of core technology, we can absorb or supplement it with marketing funds. However, the growth of R&D investment must be strictly controlled. Once it exceeds 25%, it will directly affect the company's other operations."
Li Mingxuan nodded. ,"I understand, Xia. We will carry out R&D work strictly according to the upper limit of 25%, and we will strictly control the increase in investment."
He raised his head, his eyes firm, "After three months, R&D investment will be You can rest assured that it will not exceed a quarter of the total budget. While ensuring the progress of research and development, we will cooperate with the company’s market activities to promote artificial intelligence knowledge to the public. This is also the responsibility of our technical team. ” < /p>
"If the substance is affected, you can terminate the cooperation at any time. I will give you the right to make this decision. But I believe that your team will be able to maximize efficiency and complete the research and development tasks while also making this program a great show!" Xia gave a thumbs up to Li Mingxuan and said with a smile, "In short, it all depends on you, Mingxuan!"
Li Mingxuan looked at Xia's smile helplessly. He knew that the decision had been made. . As the head of R&D, he has even greater responsibilities. But opportunities are also hard-won. He believes that as long as there is strict control, this risk can still be grasped.
Shia ended her discussion with Li Mingxuan and returned to her office. She sat on the leather chair, but had no time to admire the beautiful scenery outside the window. Her mind was filled with the upcoming media cooperation plan.
How to reach cooperation with mainstream TV stations to achieve large-scale promotion of artificial intelligence knowledge? This is no easy task. Siya knew that the difficulty she faced was not only the selection and negotiation of TV stations, but also how to strike a balance between ratings and research and development progress.
If the most influential provincial satellite TV is selected as the partner, not only will the cost be huge, but the required program effects will also be the highest.
To produce ideal artificial intelligence content in a short period of time, you can imagine the pressure on the R&D team. However, if you choose some smaller TV stations, although the cost and pressure are controllable, the promotion effect will be greatly reduced.
Cooperation with TV stations also involves a difficult negotiation process. As media organizations, their purpose is by no means as simple as popularizing scientific and technological knowledge. To reach a cooperation plan that does not harm the company's interests and achieves the purpose of promoting artificial intelligence requires extremely high negotiation skills and industry knowledge.
To ensure that the research and development process is not affected, a balance must be found between the TV station's requirements and the company's actual capabilities...
Shia frowned, and she clearly realized that To complete this media cooperation, I have a huge responsibility. There are too many factors that she needs to consider, and there are also endless problems. Just thinking about the heavy burden she is shouldering at this moment makes her feel exhausted.
She knows that this is the only way for the company to grow. The current difficulties are temporary. As long as we overcome them one by one, huge opportunities and development space will await the company. She took a deep breath, picked up the phone, and started contacting the relevant people at the TV station.

Xiao Liao came to Pei Yuchi’s house as promised.He handed Pei Yuchi a lunch box at the door: "Brother, Xiaoqian asked me to bring you the American ginseng chicken soup."
Pei Yuchi was slightly surprised: "How did she know you were coming?" < /p>
Xiao Liao shook his head: "I didn't tell her, but she said that your stomach bleeding was so serious this time, and she was very worried. You must drink more stomach-nourishing soup, and I must bring it to you. I think Yes, I agreed to her. I said I would bring you some information today, so she made this bowl of soup and asked me to bring it to me!"
Pei Yuchi interrupted Xiao Liao seriously: " Don't do this to her again."
Xiao Liao felt a little embarrassed and said hesitantly: "Okay, I understand what you mean, but she really cares about you..."
p>Xiao Liao saw Pei Yuchi's displeasure and was a little embarrassed, not knowing how to speak. He knew that Pei Yuchi never liked people of the opposite sex who cared too much about him, but Xiaoqian's feelings for Pei Yuchi had reached the point where she cared deeply about him. This time Pei Yuchi fell ill, and Xiaoqian was so worried that she lost her mind. She made this bowl of stomach-nourishing soup with such care to show her concern.
"I know Xiaoqian's good intentions, but..." Pei Yuchi sighed, "I don't want her to have too many fantasies about me. It is impossible for us to develop a deeper relationship. , She will only cause trouble to both parties."
Xiao Liao nodded silently, respecting Pei Yuchi's wishes. He understood Pei Yuchi's position, but he still couldn't help but feel sorry for Xiaoqian's concern.
Xiaoqian's overly enthusiastic "care" made him feel very uncomfortable. He didn't want to get into any emotional entanglements, let alone become her "concern". He knew it was time to do something.
He picked up his phone and sent a message to Xiaoqian: "Received the soup, thank you! Please don't cook it for me next time!"
"Received!" Xiaoqian Qian replied.
…
Next, Pei Yuchi began to discuss with Xiao Liao what he was about to do.
For several days, Xiao Liao almost became a guest in Pei Yuchi's house. The two often talked in low voices and kept tapping the keyboard with their fingertips.
In the evening, they had dinner together and exchanged thoughts and plans.
After the meal, the two continued to sit down and discuss, and from time to time there would be excited arguments. They collided with each other's ideas and fully thought and debated various plans.
Pei Yuchi and Xiao Liao started a brainstorming session with enthusiasm. They explored every detail in depth and pursued ultimate perfection.
As evening gradually fell, Pei Yuchi's home was brightly lit. Sometimes they sit at the desk and look up information together; sometimes they stand in front of a whiteboard covered with colorful sticky notes on the wall and passionately put forward their own opinions. They forget the passage of time and devote themselves wholeheartedly to the realization of the common goal.
With every discussion and in-depthAs time went on, Pei Yuchi and Xiao Liao gradually constructed an elaborate plan. They are constantly polishing every detail for perfection...
It has been a long time since Pei Yuchi's cat Qingdai has been accompanied and pampered by its owner for such a long time.
…
The reform plan for public institutions submitted by Maplewood TV for the second time has finally been approved by the Propaganda Department, and then we can truly launch reform actions with confidence.
In order to improve work efficiency and program quality, the station decided to delegate more power to channels and various business departments.
Each department and employee will have greater autonomy and flexibility to produce more innovative programs based on market demand and audience tastes.
Taiwan is also preparing to launch an internal competition mechanism, introducing comparison and bidding mechanisms in program production and outsourcing service procurement, and no longer directly designating fixed partners.
At the same time, Taili decided to cancel the original salary standards and rank system and establish a flexible appointment and salary system. Senior managers and business backbones will be hired on an appointment basis, and their income will be based on performance and individual contribution.
These reform measures will enable Maplewood TV to be reborn and develop into a new media organization that is both in line with the core socialist values and close to the tastes of the public.
This will inject fresh blood into the station and make it glow with greater vitality. Gone will be the dull ecology of the past, and will be replaced by vibrant programs that the audience will talk about. outputs and services.
In short, this wave of reforms will make Taiwan more vibrant and dynamic, and the TV station must build itself into a modern media organization that is truly people-friendly.
Next, implementation plans will be collected from all over Taiwan and relevant departments will be established for unified implementation.
While the management and all employees in Taili were still discussing the feasibility of this reform implementation plan and feeling uneasy about the changes that were coming, a message suddenly appeared on the desktop of Director Gu’s office. A document as thick as a paper.
Director Gu carefully read through this document, feeling both expected relief and some unexpected surprises. He knew that the young man whom he personally recruited and trained in the TV station had finally matured. His original vision and judgment were correct, and he was fully capable of taking on important responsibilities.
