Chapter 113 Hotspot Transfer
Without the support of strong general AI, it is unrealistic to take charge of the entire asteroid mining project by yourself.

The entire organizational structure must perform at 100% or even 120% of its combat effectiveness, which is the key factor determining whether the entire plan can be successful.

Chen Yuanguang went on to say: "I have quite a lot of entrepreneurial experience. Both Guangjia Aerospace and Guangjia Technology have done quite well among domestic companies in the same field.

Therefore, I feel that I am qualified to talk about this issue. If we raise our perspective, we will find that the organizational structure of traditional enterprises cannot adapt to the development of the times. It can bring about the research and development of new technologies and the updating and iteration of old technologies.

Even in the decade from 2010 to 2020, major Internet companies began to change and adjust their organizational structures, trying to improve organizational efficiency through flatter management.

It will encounter an unavoidable problem, that is, the company is still oriented towards short-term profits and needs to be responsible to shareholders.

This orientation determines that they are not capable of leading the tide of the times forward.”

Li Xinyin felt that Chen Yuanguang was really glowing. She knew that this was the effect of the fill light, but she still felt that there was a sacred aura surrounding him.

Her channel is called Xiyin Sees the World, and its main content is financial and technology industry trends, plus some interviews.

Since the interview with Lin Jia, it has become much easier for her to arrange interviews with other entrepreneurs. Other entrepreneurs she interviewed talked about practical issues such as strategic thinking, business model, and future development direction, but Chen Yuanguang stood at a higher perspective and expounded on the concept.

Li Xinyin wondered, I wonder if Chen Yuanguang was also so charming when he was in college? No wonder Lin Jia was attracted to him.

This is the halo effect of successful people. When you have achieved results, your words, actions and image will naturally be interpreted by great scholars, and the masses will also brainwash themselves.

Until you lose your halo, fall from the altar, the statue is broken, the halo is gone, the great scholar turns to others, and your believers scatter.

Li Xiyin asked: "So ChatGPT was developed by OpenAI, and Google, which started early in artificial intelligence, is lagging behind?"

At this time, ChatGPT has already revealed its true appearance. Lei Jun and Chen Yuanguang's cooperation in building cars is a domestic focus event in China, while ChatGPT is a global hot event.

Chen Yuanguang thought about it and said, "I guess so.

Musk and I have had many discussions about this issue.”

Chen Yuanguang does not shy away from the fact that he has a good personal relationship with Musk, even though the outside world believes that they are direct competitors.

However, considering that Bezos had a good relationship with Musk in the beginning and the two often had dinner together privately, but later fell out due to the direct competition between Blue Origin and SpaceX, perhaps as Light Armor Aerospace enters the European market and snatches orders from SpaceX, the relationship will break down one day.

Chen Yuanguang went on to say: “He was one of the earliest investors in OpenAI. When OpenAI was founded in 15, he and Peter, Peter Thiel, invested in the company.”

Li Xiyin was very familiar with the name: "Is he one of the earliest founders of PayPal and later the first investor of Facebook?"

Chen Yuanguang nodded: "Yes, it was him, they invested in OpenAI together.

OpenAI is in the Pioneer Building. I think I've been there when I went to San Francisco. Although it's called a building, it's only three stories high. It's located at the intersection of 18th Street and Folsom Street in San Francisco. It's more of a warehouse than a building.

The work intensity at OpenAI is very high. You should know that although OpenAI has investors, they are not responsible to investors and they have no pressure to make profits. Google's DeepMind is a company and it needs to be responsible to shareholders and the board of directors.

Despite this, OpenAI's work intensity is much higher than Google's DeepMind. OpenAI employees work at least eight hours a day, and discuss work during meals. Many people even work more than twelve hours.

It's a very scary thing that their loose organizational structure can allow employees to have such high self-motivation.

In contrast, the huge profits brought by Google's advertising business have given them too comfortable an environment, and there is no lofty vision to inspire the self-motivation of employees. As a result, many Google employees have neither performance pressure nor self-motivation, and are significantly behind OpenAI in the presentation of R&D progress.

This example illustrates the current dilemma of this type of corporate organizational structure. If Guangjia Aerospace is a profit-making enterprise, it will also face similar problems during its development.

If our profitability is not good and we are always losing money, then meeting short-term goals will be more important than long-term goals, and we may not be able to persist in many things that require long-term persistence.

For example, we invested money and manpower in asteroid exploration. For example, in the Huaguo Compound Eye project, we invested a total of 10 billion yuan. A single company would definitely not spend this kind of money.

But if we are profitable, the business will lack motivation.

From the first day of the establishment of Guangjia Aerospace, I firmly believed that this would be a brand new organizational structure. "

During Chen Yuanguang's pause, Li Xiyin asked curiously, "From the first day?
I would think that after the successful development of perovskite batteries and sufficient cash flow, we will consider optimizing the organizational structure. "

Chen Yuanguang shook his head: "No, I made this decision when the whole plan was still in my mind."

In the future, in the process from human-led and AI-assisted to AI-led and human-assisted, there will be many organizations like OpenAI that shine in the field of scientific research.

As the gap between traditional science and industry in scientific research becomes increasingly wider and fundamental differences in the orientations of both sides have emerged, it is these institutions that play a role in changing the world through technology.

Therefore, when Chen Yuanguang was conceiving the grand blueprint of Light Armor Aerospace in Kuala Lumpur, he had already thought that it was not only a startup at the level of a super-large systematic project, but also a startup at the level of an organizational structure.

Li Xiyin admired and said: "From the beginning?

In fact, I have heard some discussions about this matter. Huawei is a very rare organization. A large number of companies have only made breakthroughs in their core businesses. It is very difficult, or almost impossible, to start a business across fields.

Even if the fields they span are highly related to them, like IBM wanted to make personal PCs, Microsoft wanted to make the Internet, and Google wanted to make mobile phones, they all failed.

Huawei has been successful in multiple fields, including communications, consumer electronics, and automobiles, precisely because their organizational structure determines their endless vitality in entrepreneurship.”

The transformation of corporate organizational structures has a long history, from the multi-level approval structure of traditional large groups to the flat management of Internet companies, Huawei's employee stock ownership, OpenAI's employee decision-making, etc. Human attempts in this regard are ongoing.

Chen Yuanguang said: "Huawei's organizational structure also gave me some food for thought. Its strong vitality has a lot to do with its equity structure.

However, this structure is not suitable for Guangjia Aerospace, because we are a company with high R&D investment, and the proportion of R&D investment will be higher than that of Huawei. I don’t want to distribute corporate profits as dividends, which will change the orientation of employees from the top level.

People would rather do something profitable rather than something that is beneficial to the entire system engineering.

Some basic research, for example, cannot bring economic benefits, while breakthroughs in materials science can bring huge profits to companies. The dividend system will encourage everyone to do the latter, while the former will be shelved.

So I've been looking for an organizational structure that suits us.

When I was soliciting investment, I told the state-owned asset platforms in various places that there would be no dividends within ten years, and that the voting rights of the shares you obtained from your investment would be negligible.

These stringent requirements are also part of the organizational structure, and investment institutions have no right to decide where Guangjia Aerospace will go. "

Chen Yuanguang's last sentence seemed a little cold.

Li Xiyin: "So why do they want to invest? The benefits and risks are obviously not equal."

Chen Yuanguang said: "No dividends are temporary and will not be distributed until the target is reached.

It is indeed unequal, so all the investments are from state-owned assets. State-owned assets can tolerate not making money for the time being. They value more the driving role and demonstration effect that institutions like Guangjia Aerospace play in China's industrial transformation and upgrading.

For example, the new generation of solar cells and perovskite cells that we developed last year, photovoltaic companies have expanded their production capacity by more than 50 billion based on this technology.

There is an investment of 50 billion on the production side, and the positive effects on new energy on the employment and market sides have not yet been counted. Just one technological breakthrough can bring so many benefits.

Not to mention that there are still many areas where breakthroughs are possible.”

Li Xiyin nodded: "To use an inappropriate example, it is like buying a horse bone for a huge sum of money."

Chen Yuanguang: "It's not quite accurate, but I guess it's fair to say."

Li Xiyin: "Will Guangjia Aerospace launch products that everyone can afford?

Like space tourism projects?"

Chen Yuanguang: "There is no relevant plan for the time being, our products are all aimed at enterprises, institutions and even countries.

We have been talking to Europe this year, and they hope to purchase the human hibernation equipment from Guangjia Aerospace. Then send it to the International Space Station for the astronauts there to use. "

Since the beginning of the year, the European Space Agency has been in talks with Guangjia Technology. The human body winter equipment has undergone three rounds of clinical trials in Europe and will soon be open to the public.

Although there are noises within Europe, indicating that further observation is needed, it is much calmer than in America.

The old Europeans don't plan to do anything weird now. They want to wait until you enter the European market on a large scale and then fine you on the grounds of antitrust.

Asan became the Prime Minister of England, Europe's style of doing things is becoming more and more similar to that of Asan, and they often wave the flag of zzzq and impose fines.

But at least they are still willing to do business, they just want to get the best deal possible, unlike the Americans who are eager to get you to leave the group.

Senior officials from the European Astronaut Center, an agency of the European Space Agency, have approached Guangjia Technology for negotiations at its European office many times.

The two sides have been unable to reach an agreement on key issues.

Li Xiyin realized that there was a lot to be explored here, so she quickly asked: "European Space Agency?

I remember that there were not only European astronauts on the International Space Station, but also American astronauts."

Chen Yuanguang grinned and said, "After sending it up, just don't let the American astronauts use it."

Li Xiyin said: "How is the project going now?"

Chen Yuanguang said: "We are still discussing it. Mr. Wolf will come to Pengcheng this month, and we will have a good discussion on this issue in Pengcheng.

I have no objection to the cooperation. I also hope to observe whether there will be any abnormalities when the human hibernation equipment enters space. We hope to have similar data to provide us with reference.

But we disagree on key issues.

We hope to help them send their equipment up there using our Pioneer rockets, but this may require NASA’s approval, which is difficult to negotiate.”

Chen Yuanguang smiled bitterly.

After the human hibernation equipment is sent up, you can block American astronauts in space, and then they will not let you go into space.

Chen Yuanguang went on to say: “This is a very valuable opportunity for our self-developed Pioneer rocket to accomplish this level of space transportation.

Moreover, we and the International Space Station can not only cooperate in this regard, but also replace the solar cells of the International Space Station with the latest HJT solar cells.

The photoelectric conversion efficiency of their current solar cells is only 29%. After replacing them with a new generation of solar cells, this efficiency can be increased to about %.

In short, there is a lot of room for cooperation between us, but we have to talk about it slowly.”

Li Xinyin felt that the large amount of content about corporate management in the front would definitely not be liked by b friends, as most of them were poor guys. It would be difficult for them to manage even one person, let alone corporate management. This kind of experience had only one value for b friends, and that was to brag in front of girls.

The cooperation with the European Space Agency mentioned by Chen Yuanguang later is obviously much more attractive. This should be the first time in history that a Chinese private commercial aerospace company has cooperated with the European Space Agency.

We also need to send human hibernation equipment to the International Space Station.

Li Xiyin said: "I hope to hear good news about the cooperation between Guangjia Aerospace and the European Space Agency as soon as possible.

It must be difficult to convince NASA, right? "

Chen Yuanguang said: "It is difficult, but it is not us who have to convince them, but the European Space Agency.

As long as there is enough interest, they will help us get it done."

After the video was broadcast, it turned out to be just as Li Xiyin had expected.

Everyone's focus is on Guangjia Aerospace's cooperation with the European Space Agency.

"If Pioneer 1 can really deliver goods to the International Space Station, even if it is its own goods, it will be the first time in history!"

"This is an attempt to snatch the cake from SpaceX. In recent years, the transportation of materials and personnel to the International Space Station has almost been monopolized by SpaceX. If the Trailblazer rocket performs well this time, there may be opportunities for subsequent cooperation."

"If we win over Europe, Russia still has a few votes, and we can really grab a piece of the pie from SpaceX."

"I think Musk is going to start criticizing SpaceX. Get ready, SpaceX. I have a feeling that someday people in China will say that the reason the Trailblazer rocket was able to succeed is because it stole technology from SpaceX. I'm predicting this here."

"The God of Light is worthy of being the God of Light."

This video has not been played as much as the last one because it is too long. It is an hour-long interview and few people can finish watching it.

However, everyone was very enthusiastic about commenting, and the number of comments quickly exceeded 10,000. However, not many netizens were interested in the new organizational structure mentioned by Chen Yuanguang.

Occasionally, a discussion post is ranked very low in terms of the number of likes:

"According to the God of Light, we have to study after get off work. This work intensity is probably even more exaggerated than the 996 work week."

Lin Tianmin silently liked this comment: "You are absolutely right. I talked to my friends at Huawei and found that the intensity of work at Guangjia Aerospace is comparable to that of Huawei."

This video was pushed to the B station homepages of many Guangjia Aerospace employees. Everyone was very interested in the video of the big boss being interviewed. When they clicked in and saw Chen Yuanguang talking about building a learning organization, they all smiled bitterly.

The pressure of studying is almost overwhelming.

Guangjia Aerospace was Lin Tianmin’s first job. After graduating with a doctorate from Beihang University, he came to Guangjia Aerospace and was responsible for the research and development of rocket propulsion systems.

When I was studying for my doctorate at Beihang University, I worked at least eleven hours a day and had at most one day off on weekends. This intensity was already very high.

After joining Guangjia Aerospace, he felt it was pretty good, working from nine to five and having normal rest on holidays. The rhythm was simply perfect. There are very few private enterprises in China that can guarantee these points.

Considering the annual salary of $400,000, it’s even better and very cost-effective. Lin Tianmin feels that this job is no less than working for a commercial aerospace company and earning $600,000.

And considering that it is backed by Chen Yuanguang and Guangjia Technology, its stability is also very good.

It wasn't until the fourth quarter of last year when Guangjia Aerospace began calling for a transformation into a learning organization that things started to go wrong.

First, you are asked to choose a direction and determine the subject. For example, there are people who work on rocket structure design, power systems, radar research and development, and material research and development. There are all kinds of directions.

With the breakthrough effect brought about by the breakthrough of perovskite batteries and the bright prospects brought about by the successful recycling of Pioneer No. 1, the company's employee number has exceeded one thousand, and more than 80% of them are R&D personnel.

Because of this, Guangjia Aerospace has many groups, and everyone is doing research in different sub-fields, which of course involves cooperation.

After the company asks everyone to choose a topic, the original research team will provide some reference books, and then attend classes regularly and organize exams every month.

The most amazing thing is that they organize exams, but the company says that it doesn’t matter what the exam score is, and that it will not affect performance and will not be linked to salary.

It is said that it will not be linked to salary, but the problem is that if you don’t study, and you always take the test with single-digit scores, that’s too embarrassing.

Basically, everyone has master's and doctoral degrees from prestigious universities, and they have all climbed to the top of the ladder with top academic performance, so no one can afford to lose face.

And what if you do well in the exam and get more opportunities?
Even after receiving performance-based wages in the first quarter of this year, everyone found that test scores really had nothing to do with wages, and no one wanted to get low scores.
