Chapter 289 Changing the car

Anfeng regards the company as a technology base, where industrial technologies other than biology and computers can be developed as long as necessary. The development of holographic projection mainly embodies advanced and high-end, and another purpose is to confuse the line of sight—he wants to virtualize non-existent characters.

Industrial coverage is too wide, and it is too scary to teach in one's own capacity every time. As far as the current titles of multiple technical geniuses are enough, there is no need to develop to the point of "omnipotent". So he needs virtual dummies to do his job.

Guri holographic projection is very interested, he asked: "Just now the lowest level of data transmission, how much bandwidth does it need?"

This is also a question for everyone. Obviously, the popularization of this technology will lead to video innovation. Hoffman replied: "According to my test, if you narrow the scope and only project characters, the data generated per second is equivalent to online high-definition movies. A lot of families can use it."

"It can be installed in the office in a miniaturized manner, so it doesn't need such a complicated design?"

"No problem." Hoffman nodded, "However, the level of home hardware is restricted, and more advanced graphics are difficult."

Miniaturized holographic technology is not difficult, and its promotion is promising, such as holographic movies, stage performances, or communications with high image requirements. It's like a technical explanation that is far away. If voice communication or images are not enough, the all-round holographic projection can make up for it.

After the visit, continue to other floors.

At present, the company has hired several professional managers to temporarily manage the operation of the company. John is also responsible for supervising the work. He will make appointments and dismissals based on future performance. All aspects of the company are in order. Very adaptable to the environment.

After visiting in the morning, lunch is also settled in the company.

What to eat for lunch? It is something that many office workers think about, including Anfeng before. At the beginning, he was very envious of those foreign companies, especially Google's star restaurants, bright and fresh environment, delicious food from all over the world, the flavor changes in rotation, and the average weight gain every year 5 lbs.

Although there is no Google's exaggerated corporate culture of "There must be food within ten meters", considering the nature of the company, sleepless nights and food are more frequent, and it is obviously impossible to stop working on projects at critical moments. For example, Hoffman's robotics department, which developed When the machine is in operation, three meals are usually given at random. In the old days of the warehouse, the meals were delivered around the clock, which was inconvenient and unpalatable. Now it has been reformed.

There are company restaurants on the first and second floors of the building, which are self-service, and there is a leisure area on the fifth floor, which provides afternoon meals such as desserts and coffee. This time it was lunch, so Joanna decided to go to the restaurant on the second floor. In addition to the restaurant, there are some departments with frequent activities on the second floor.

The restaurant is located on the left, with a delicate and fresh layout, a bit like a cafeteria in a star hotel. The new building has only been in use for two weeks, but there are a lot of people at lunch time, most of them are newcomers, of all ages, and you can hear many voices saying hello and introducing each other.

There are also some old acquaintances. The technical geeks from the robot company have shown up frequently, and they greet An Feng consciously. They are very impressed with this boss. He is super rich, but he has a good temper and is easy to get along with. During non-working hours, the old employees are very cheerful towards him.

He also took the plate, and went down to get food under the attention of everyone—two bodyguards beside him, an assistant to the boss, and a project manager. Everyone knew that this was an important person in the company. Some of them will even say hello, making their faces familiar.

An Feng also met a familiar girl: "Hi, Daisy!"

Daisy, who was picking up the meal, turned around and found that it was him. She looked at Joanna again and said in surprise, "Nice to meet you!"

"Me too!" Joanna put down the plate and went to hug her best friend.

Daisy complained: "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"I'm here to supervise the work." Joanna joked, and introduced Daisy to several others. As a master's student in a prestigious university, she came here for the management. Although she is currently in the internship stage, her strength lies in her , Internship is a middle-level management position, and the salary is not low.

At present, the company is very short of people, but anyone with ability and potential will be entrusted with important tasks. This is an incentive and a way to run quickly. If you can't do it in the future, you can change it a little bit. First, give a platform for display and leave opportunities Fighting for them can easily inspire fighting spirit.

After taking the meal, sit down and chat together.

Joanna and Daisy talked a lot. Daisy kept talking about the company's knowledge, and Joanna wanted to make up for the lack of being a small leader. Because in the future, she will not have the treatment of an office worker, and if she has one, she will be a director, the chairman's wife, and other top-level ones.

Listening to them talking about new things and knowledge, although the company is short of people, due to the professional nature, what is lacking is technical personnel. There are requirements for the profession, and not everyone is competent, so the replenishment speed is not fast. However, other procurement, finance, human resources and other departments are all in place.

An Feng understands that technicians are the most difficult to find.

After lunch, Joanna and Daisy went to work to be addicted to being OL... An Feng would not gossip with them, so he went back to his office, let others do whatever he wanted, sorted out some files by himself, and used Ari through the LAN Well, store some data on the server.

I had a small meeting with several managers of the company and shared some of my thoughts. In the afternoon, the day's work came to an end. I said goodbye to a few friends. Like a New York tycoon, I boarded the plane and left, looking down. There is a sense of triumph in the traffic-clogged streets.

The fly in the ointment is that I am used to the speed of business jets, but now it is a bit slow and there are not enough seats. Although it is enough for a standard three-person bodyguard team, the space is very crowded. It is impossible to bring more suitcases. An Feng thought about it Retire it and replace it with a bigger one.

An Feng talked to Gu Li on the plane, and then asked: "Do you have any recommendations?"

Guli has learned how to pilot a helicopter and is very familiar with aircraft, so he had an idea in his head: "According to your situation, a single engine is no longer enough. Choosing a medium-sized aircraft with multiple engines will improve both the range and power, speed and space. It can also be balanced, which is very good.”

"Model?" An Feng asked, he naturally knew the benefits of multiple engines, but with so many brands on the market, which one to choose is the key.

Guli recommended: "You can consider Bell's brand. Bell 412 is known as the medium-sized helicopter with the best performance in the air. It is highly adaptable and has 14 seats. After reducing the seats, the space will be very spacious. Because of its excellent performance, it is also used in in the armies of some countries."

"Let me see." An Feng picked up the phone.

After he inquired, he learned that the Bell 412 has a great reputation and can be called the most cost-effective medium-sized aircraft. Due to its outstanding adaptability, it is mostly used in military, search and rescue or harsh environments, conquering snow-capped mountains, crossing deserts, and slightly modified After the cockpit, it can also become a very comfortable luxury machine.

But it is not outstanding in terms of maneuverability. Its maximum cruising speed is only 224 kilometers per hour, which is slower than the current single-engine aircraft. Although the army pursues reliability, the rich pursue time is money, so it is natural to change the aircraft according to their wishes. , slower than now.

After Joanna graduated, her main place of residence should be a vineyard. There are many friends around her, and she is also close to her parents. Children from nearby and domestic will come to play. Therefore, Anfeng will still run in San Francisco or Los Angeles in the future. The straight line on both sides is more than 200 kilometers, and it is inconvenient to take off and land with fixed wings.

So the helicopter is fast enough to not waste time while being comfortable.

Guri recommended several popular mid-sized models to him.

In the end, he was optimistic about a medium-sized aircraft from Agust Wittland: AW139, which is said to be a fast, low-noise, large and safe helicopter. The space is twice as large as it is now, and it is quieter and luxuriously modified Very professional and can accommodate up to 15 people.

It is particularly outstanding in speed. With twin engines, its maximum cruising speed reaches 307 kilometers per hour. It only takes 40 minutes to fly from home to San Jose and 50 minutes to Los Angeles. After adding a spare fuel tank, its The longest range can reach 1060 kilometers.

It also uses a fully integrated avionics system, automatic flight control system and a large flat-panel color display in the cockpit. The integrated cockpit features state-of-the-art technology that minimizes pilot workload, allowing them to focus more on operational objectives.

It is comfortable, fast, and its use covers transportation, police and search and rescue. It proves that its performance and safety are also very reliable. Anfeng has also seen other customers' modifications to the cockpit, such as LCD screens, multimedia speakers, and satellite broadcasting that helicopters do not have. , refrigerators can be equipped.

An Feng liked it when he saw it, and after discussing with Joanna, he decided to have it.

It’s just that the price of pursuing luxury is a bit high. From purchase to modification, it needs at least 18 million US dollars. This cost is almost enough to buy a business jet, and it is 60% more expensive than the Bell 412 that I was looking at earlier, but that’s what I said , as long as you like it, not to mention that it is in stock.

An Feng made an appointment to see the plane. The plane is not small, and the stock is a standard version with 15 seats. Obviously, it does not meet the various luxury VIPs he needs. The account manager understands the psychology of the rich, and almost always has a modified model with him. The choice, as long as it can be installed, is unambiguous.

Finally, An Feng pointed: Demolition!

The two driver's seats are standard and cannot be disassembled, but all the unsightly seats in the cockpit are replaced with a single-row four-seater with their backs facing the forward direction, and two VIP seats in the forward direction, which are spacious and comfortable, with armrests, Cup holders and a small refrigerator, you can look up and see the display above the row of seats.

After the cockpit is widened, the sitting mode will leave a very spacious legroom, and a table can be added in the middle. If not, it is very easy to lie two tigers side by side, which is pleasing in terms of space. An Feng considers that the table is of little significance , the requirements for carrying people and goods are relatively high, so I didn't choose it. In the end, the plan was established. Although compared with the original Bell 407, there was only one more seat, but An Feng, seeing the benefits, completely forgot.

He finalized this model, took it out of stock and modified it, and it was expected to be delivered in one month.
