Digital Life (Absolut01) - Chapter 204

[7.]

After handing over the code for the graph search engine to her father, Lu Xuan still had a lot to do.

It’s something that challenges his abilities, and it’s something that he earns more for himself than living on.

Lu Xuan’s apartment has accumulated quite a few things that are not commensurate with the identity he is now using as a cover.

Some are tombstone-sized books on biological sciences, genetic engineering, brain surgery, and neurosurgery, while others are files and other materials from Aya Hayama of all people who might have problems, For example, their travel records, their work reports, the scope and authority of each person, their relationship with each other, etc… Those tabloids that Hayama Aya complained exposed many stories in the company office, It was also collected together without any leakage.

These materials are packed in several cardboard boxes.

Lu Xuan didn’t really like to sit in front of a desk alone in the middle of the night and watch these things.

Those tomes are okay. Over the years, as electronic publications gradually replace traditional publications, only books worth collecting will be printed on paper.

The light beige Monken paper will gently and clearly set off the type printed on it in any color of rainbow light, and the carefully designed binding and the almost nitpicking of type and font size guarantee this. “Tombstone” is great for long reads.

Except… Lu Xuan needs quite a long time and a lot of energy to conquer chapter after chapter.

In contrast, those office forms that obviously use a lot of bleach in the production process look a bit dazzling under the illumination of the cold light color work rainbow.

After watching it for less than an hour, Lu Xuan felt as if the fonts on the paper were surrounded by purple borders… Lu Xuan knew.

These things really hurt my eyesight.

Lu Xuan rubbed her eyes and decided to first piece together everything she knew in her mind to see if they could be connected.

In fact, is there anything that cannot be linked to anything?

Since the so-called butterfly effect emerged in people’s frameworks as a method of explanation, there has probably been nothing and nothing that cannot be connected to each other.

There are two explanations for the butterfly effect in Lu Zhenyu.

One is academic, which represents a sensitive dependence on initial conditions in the realm of pure mathematics and physics, in the realm of chaos science.

And another explanation.

It is joking and metaphysical, and it represents an explanation of anything and the connection between anything.

Basically that’s bullshit… There have been some studies by sociologists that say that at most, it is the individual that connects any person to any person.

Sometimes, in this world, such an inference can be made without such a complex structure of connections.

Sometimes a factual basis may not even be required.

“The key to overinterpretation lies in transitional interpretation.” This is the summary of this ubiquitous connection by a friend of Lu Zhenyu who studies literature.

Lu Xuan did not dare to link these things together easily, because once they were linked together.

I’m afraid a huge conspiracy will be deduced in his mind.

Lu Xuan still prefers to study what happened to the Japanese branch of Digital Totem separately.

Although the Digital Totem Japan branch is the closest to the Digital Totem headquarters among all the branches in the world, it is also the only branch among all the branches that does not fully adopt the digital totem headquarters’ task release system.

Fully adopt this very mature task release mechanism.

In fact, there is only Sony’s civilian product research and development center, where scientists from all over the world are more able to adapt to this mechanism with great flexibility.

In the block responsible for daily operations, although a series of management tools developed by the digital totem headquarters and special software and hardware that can be used to improve office efficiency are used, they still use the same operation as most ordinary companies. Mechanism one by one the boss has the final say.

In the headquarters or other branches, the function of the task release mechanism can be reflected in two aspects, that is, everyone can give full play to their own abilities, and can see how important they are to the entire company and the entire group. , However, the company will not collapse because of the lack of any one person.

Because there must be someone who is eager to play a bigger role to quickly take over those tasks, for the sake of those points, but also for their own ability to play a bigger role.

As a result, the management structure of the Digital Totem headquarters is very flat, and there are not many levels. Many people would rather stay in their most competent grass-roots positions rather than be promoted to higher positions.

However, the operation department of the Japanese branch is not like this. From Lu Yin and Fang Youjun to Hayama Aya, in the development of the Japanese branch for many years, although they have been trying to introduce the task release mechanism of the headquarters into Japan branch, but kept failing.

Facts have proved that it seems that the character of the Japanese nation is not suitable for such a large-scale work method. Many people in Japan die from overwork every year, and their loyalty to the company and their serious and desperate attitude towards work have never changed.

The turnover rate of the Japanese branch is the lowest among all branches in the world, except for those who have to leave the company for some personal reasons, or those who have made a major mistake, have been fired for taking responsibility, or have left the company voluntarily. In addition, there are only people in and no one out… However, in the days when the task release mechanism was enabled for trial operation, these extremely hard-working employees seemed to have suddenly lost their goals, and they were busy but didn’t know where to start He started walking around like a headless fly, constantly asking the boss and the boss’s boss what they should do, and their boss seemed to have the same question.

…It was not until a few years ago that Aya Hayama finally gave up the attempt to fully adopt the task release mechanism for management in Japan, and instead adopted an extremely complex management system with a traditional hierarchical relationship combined with a task point mechanism.

The task point mechanism seems to be a bit like the evaluation method such as the balance score card that was popular a few years ago.

Huge pages of documentation by Aya Hayama explaining this eclectic approach to management.

Years after the company adopted this management method, with the encouragement of Lv Zhenyu, Hayama Ling revised these documents and wrote it into “The Change Will Not Completely Fail”, a management work with rich theories and cases.

To date, the book has sold over 10,000 copies in various languages around the world.

And this book.

Undoubtedly, it is also an important reference book used by Lu Xuan to understand the management mechanism of Japanese branches.

He was very surprised to find that the Japanese branch had established an appalling rating system.

From the newly recruited employees to Hayama Aya himself.

represent.

There are very clear regulations for each extreme basic salary, authority, and evaluation criteria.

And those very important middle-level employees that Hayama Aya said.

Managers, in fact, are already quite high-level.

Level famous, famous, and from all the way up.

According to other regulations, they are classified in the scope of the middle management personnel.

A total of names.

And Hayama Aya’s sick secretary was even a rank.

It’s no wonder that Hayama Aya asked for support from the headquarters.

These people cover marketing, logistics, technical management.

The departments of finance, marketing, etc… seem to have no connection at all.

Lu Xuan had to connect to the main computer room of the Japanese branch and start downloading the work records of all these people.

And the various work reports they wrote, of course he wouldn’t be stupid enough to read all that stuff.

Where’s the time to read these boring reports.

Lu Xuan wrote a filter that will analyze all of these reports and analyze the relationship between them.

The method of analysis is actually very simple, making full use of the internal mechanism of the digital totem.

All kinds of reports that need to be written in the operation of all digital totem companies are written by digital totem internal special office software jointly developed by digital totem and Microsoft. For all digital totem products and technologies in the report.

Policy terms, the program will automatically add references to these things and internal company numbers for those related technologies.

At the beginning, this was a mechanism that took into account the reference study of the company’s long-term strategy and the tracking of long-term technology. Now, these regulations are used by Lu Xuan as a filtering standard.

All relevant information in these people’s reports will be weighted according to the frequency of occurrence. Different people mention the same thing and the same person repeatedly mentions the same thing, and the calculated weights obtained in the filter are different.

Through these analyses, Lu Xuan can know what all these people have in common… that must exist.

Although in the whole system of digital totem, a talented person gets promoted very quickly, but in Japan, this is not absolute.

Those who can enter the management of the company have worked in the company for at least a few years.

Since there are so many problems in the middle and high levels, it doesn’t make sense that the whole lower level has no reaction at all?

Although the flow of personnel at the lower level is much more than that at the middle and high levels, however.

There are still traces to be found.

Lu Xuan took a general look at the time when the middle-level managers had problems, started resigning or had other activities, and searched the personnel database of the branch according to such standards… The result surprised Lu Xuan a little, and it was two pages full.

Comparing the turnover rate between last year and the same period of the previous year, the absolute number of personnel turnover this year is higher than before.

Considering the growth of the company, and the total number of employees, these increases are not noticeable to anyone.

The distribution frequency of these low-level employees is also very similar to those of the middle and high-level employees. According to the analysis of their residence, half of all the people live in Tokyo, and the remaining people are also farther away from Tokyo, the lower the frequency. …

Lu Xuan opened one window after another, abstracting these data into points on the coordinate axis, and analyzing it with pure mathematical methods made him feel very reliable, although the results were still shocking.

He is really grateful now that his father has arranged so many mathematics teachings for his siblings since childhood.

These things are direct, simple, and have a very pure passion…

If it is a conspiracy, then it seems that the decisive battle is in Tokyo.

Lu Xuan smiled proudly, imagining what might happen.

Although he still didn’t understand why someone was eyeing the Japanese branch.

It is definitely not a conspiracy that can be brewed in a short period of time, nor is it just to reduce the competitiveness of the Japanese branch of Digital Totem.

Presumably, he didn’t have a chance to learn about them until those statistics came out.

Before waiting for the results of the filter’s analysis of that slew of reports.

Lu Xuan returned to reading the pile of biological and medical classics.

This kind of reading of tomes should be considered normal for him now.

In their home, Lu Zhenyu and Chen Ning taught their siblings that way.

Lu Zhenyu is often in their siblings because of a small problem.

Or accidentally notice something while playing, and ask a small question to their omniscient father or always amiable mother, with the joy of the prey falling into a trap, and then with a very captivating expression. Stories and explanations opened them a small window into the vast world of science.

Then, one of the brothers and sisters who tricked them must know more about the requirements, and the promise that they will read a book.

And then throw them a tome quite different from his own earlier intriguing exposition—usually the thickest and dullest of its kind, and the siblings have since learned that the book is as good as it gets. The number of illustrations in the book.

There’s no direct, inevitable connection – once they’ve read it, they’re bound to have a belly of questions.

Then, Lu Zhenyu can take them to find an expert.

Some visibly paranoid expert who is godlike in this field and aphasia in other unrelated fields, then, answers them all.

What surprised them was that Lu Zhenyu always seemed to be able to find such people. When they grew up and realized that most of them were actually very rational, he still became more and more confused about who their father was. From those nooks and crannies, these people who can’t say whether they are geniuses or idiots are picked out.

This is how they read “Animation Project Planning and Management”, “History of Insects”, “Cambridge History of Technology”, “History of Navigation”, “Geometry and Algebra” at a young age, when their peers were watching cartoons. getting Started”.

“Mathematical Analysis” … and a series of books that some people can’t read in a lifetime.

…Reading the classics and discovering problems has become a traditional education method that the Lu family seems to have formed and will be inherited.

Although, Lu Xuan felt that if he became a father in the future, he would never be able to trick his children into reading these bricks or tombstones as perfect as Lu Zhenyu, full of evil and deceitful beauty.

The fields of biology and medicine, at least on the surface, have not developed as fast as technology or mechanical technology.

There is a very fundamental reason that what the machine needs is only ideas and resources to put them into practice, and most of these resources do not involve ethical issues.

But medicine and life sciences are not like this. Experiments on animals are obstructed and abused by Greenpeace, the Animal Protection Association, and even more exaggerated civil groups that advocate the resumption of slash-and-burn farming. Experiments should be carried out on humans. , it is more complicated, all clinical experiments need to go through a series of review and research, and clinical experiments require many volunteers, and a very long clinical verification compared to the moment when the idea is generated in the laboratory cycle.

… Although the electronic prosthesis project of Zhenyu Charity Hospital has been installed by tens of thousands of people all over the world … or more have been installed, in some countries, this technology is still in the clinical trial cycle and has not yet obtained the final approval .

God knows that China has already begun to use the fourth generation of products.

Since this is the case, how should those fantasies about implanting chips find experimenters?

Those technologies that use radiation technology to generate chips in the brain, how many failures must have been experienced, and how many people have to be sent into Hades’ arms before they can succeed even once?

The equipment and raw materials used in the experiments will never be created out of thin air. Those are extremely sensitive things. Although the management of these things cannot be said to be seamless in various countries, they are definitely not easily deciphered.

Lu Xuan moved herself away from the computer, walked to the living room, and laid herself flat on the comfortable lounge chair by the balcony.

Supported by the soft cushioned headrest, his face was at a comfortable angle to the ceiling.

The entire apartment, from the ceiling to the walls, is a light blue-grey that he likes and has personally chosen.

It was the color he liked very much when he was in Dongshan Fort, not because the color was a little gloomy, a bit like the cloudy sky that can be seen on the island in Dongshan Fort, but because , every time the sky appears this color.

He could look out over the blue sea.

His eyes don’t get bright spots because of the bright sunlight reflected by the sea, and he can look at the wind irritated sea for a long time and think about something.

He’s never been an introverted, silent kid, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have issues to think about.

Here, in this apartment, he could not replicate the entire vast sea.

It was impossible to replicate the wind that rolled by him, but he could still choose the same color as the sky at that time, so that he could always keep the association of his favorite sights.

…he even carefully picked the color of the lights in the room.

Make sure that the color temperature of any lamp will not affect the color of the walls in the room…

Linden’er may have seen Lu Xuan’s slightly tired posture, and she appeared with a hot cup of tea and a black pepper in her hand. Crab sandwiches…though it’s summer.

But in a room with a constant temperature, hot tea is probably more suitable.

Linden’s action of putting Lu Xuan’s legs on the footstool alerted Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan straightened apologetically and said, “It’s fine. Don’t worry about me. I’m waiting for the calculation result, and I’ll go back to the computer soon.”

“Let’s eat something first.” Linden said, “Take a good rest. You I haven’t slept too much lately. . . . These things, at least for now, don’t seem to be urgent.”

Lu Xuan looked at Linden.

Instead of taking the legs off the footrest, just positioning myself a little more straightly.

He said: “It’s because it’s not urgent or not, so the sooner the better. Isn’t it? … In the past, there have been things that didn’t seem to be urgent at all, but for no reason, they became urgent overnight … Because a small detail was missed. …you know how many people died that time. Until we can confirm that something is not urgent, we always treat it as an emergency. … This is not Is there a principle for the handling of all agencies now? Moreover, for Aunt Hayama, the sooner these matters are resolved, the better. After all, the current mentality within the company is very strange, and there seem to be a lot of various rumors. Regarding the office being monitored Or someone from inside provides information to the outside world, I don’t care about these things, I can eliminate these problems after a few rounds of testing. The problem is those middle-level employees or something, which has a great impact on the stability of the company.”

Linden seems to be

She stared at Lu Xuan as if she saw a bug on his face, and said, “I’m talking about things like biotechnology. That Vitrutian is making you upset…so many books, and The material can’t be read in a day or two, right?”

Lu Xuan obediently asked Linden to tuck a snow-white meal coin into his neckline, flatten it on his chest, and took the coin that Linden put in his hand. Sandwiches… The slightly spicy black pepper gives those snow-white crab meat a richer taste. Just like all the food made by the Yuzu, they seem to be challenging the limit of human taste resolution. For someone who grew up in a strange family and has a strong sense of taste that is not tainted by fast food, all the food made by the Yu clan, especially Linden, is a feast.

Chewing the delicious food, Lu Xuan muttered, “It’s probably just that I’m in a hurry, but I have a bad hunch about this matter.”

Linden laughed lightly, and Lu Xuan seemed to have rolled her eyes.

Linden sat sideways on the edge of the reclining chair, leaned against Lu Xuan lightly, and said, “I have a hunch about this kind of thing… I don’t understand it very well.

However, if you can’t say it well, there’s always a reason for it.

… Qingqing and Yue Yu have been complaining that scientific research, especially the scientific research that is not visible, is too expensive.

Those pharmaceutical companies may also be able to rely on venture capital, rely on the stock price fluctuations caused by the announcement of good news to finance various channels, or simply rely on loans for research and development, anyway, at least they can finally get it back.

However, those studies that are not visible, especially those that conflict with the laws of various countries, even if they are only in conflict with traditional morality, I am afraid that the source of the money is more troublesome.

You can ask your father how many false accounts he made for Yue Yu, Qingqing, Bodhidharma and Axiang?

If someone really does research on life sciences and genetic engineering, would it be possible to spend less than your father did?

No matter how I look at it, I feel that the project of this thing is bigger and involves more extensive… Not just money, but what about those experimental products?

…they need a lot of ** to experiment, right?

The brain chip generation technology with precise control of radioactivity may not really be feasible. However, in any country in the world, radioactive materials are strictly controlled by the state. Where can they get those things?

Even if they are some super good doctors and scientists, but it seems that it is not enough to just dismantle the equipment in the hospital?

”

Lu Xuan nodded…” These are all things that need to be studied, but, Linden, do you already have the answer?

Linden seldom expresses her own opinions on such specific issues. Although she is also from the Yu family, compared to Qingqing, who likes to talk very much, Yue Yu, who likes reasoning and deduction very much, or Yue Yu who always uses rhetoric A Xiang, who was trying to cover up the precise logic in his heart, seems to be closer to the

Bodhidharma, who

has never spoken, in terms of the number of words.

Sex and rationality, in any case, the other party must have a way to explain everything they do.

Or a superficial means of disguising their deeper purpose, that’s for sure.

As for more specific information, I am not open to information on those aspects… It seems that your father is not very serious about those things, I am afraid you need to find some other sources of information.

”

“Other channels?”

“Lu Xuan asked suspiciously.

“Yeah, Bodhidharma sent me a message just now, saying that Chen Kangru, your uncle, is coming to Tokyo tomorrow. He will stay until you play your first baseball game. He is for the Asia Pacific pool this time.” Threat”, came from the joint exercise, but it seems that he is obviously using this reason to play. Originally, he asked Bodhidharma about you and was going to give you a surprise. … However, it is obvious that Bodhidharma does not care about your uncle. Too much to buy it. Now, my identity… After all, I am a junior of the Chen family.” Linden smiled slyly.
