My Exclusive Dream World Adventures
Chapter 258 - Chapter 258 258 Selection

Chapter 258: 258 Selection Chapter 258: 258 Selection In the early morning, Chen Xu donned a brand-new suit, grabbed his briefcase, greeted his mother and Chen Ziqi, and then he was out the door.

Downstairs, Secretary Jin was waiting in the car for him. The car had been parked at the company while he was hospitalized. Today he needed to go to the company, so she drove over to pick him up.

After Chen Xu got into the car, he said, “Let’s go.”

Upon arriving at the company, Chen Xu met several newly recruited employees. He had reviewed their profiles, but this was their first face-to-face meeting. After a brief meeting, he let them get to work.

Back in the office, Secretary Jin reported on the company’s progress during his absence.

The third branch had opened successfully, and in terms of location, size, and foot traffic, it was performing better than the first two. With the promotional events, it had broken the sales record on its opening day.

Now, the staff training for all branches was uniformly managed by Jinyun Group. The work processes and management methods of the branches were also learned from Jinyun Group. Jinyun Group had many years of experience in catering, making them much stronger in this aspect than both him and Secretary Jin.

With a mature training mechanism and management methods, the third branch quickly got on track.

The success of the third branch boosted everyone’s confidence. Now, the fourth and fifth branches were being prepared simultaneously. Good locations had been selected, renovations were in progress, and staff recruitment and training were underway. It was estimated that they could open in half a month.

“You’ve done a very good job,” Chen Xu gave her high praise. While he was away from the company, Secretary Jin had managed everything perfectly, without a single oversight.

Secretary Jin said, “This is all part of my job.”

“From now on, you will need to put more effort into the company’s affairs.”

Secretary Jin seemed somewhat puzzled and said, “I will certainly do my best.”

Chen Xu didn’t offer further explanation and sent her out. In the future, most of his energy would be devoted to the new company, and he was confident leaving this place in Secretary Jin’s hands.

He pulled out the notebook he always carried and flipped to the latest page, where seven or eight words were written. Several were crossed out, leaving only two circled words.

One was IT, the other, batteries.

Over the past few days, he had watched the replay of his second dream, listing several industries with substantial information. After consideration, he crossed out the others, leaving just these two directions.

Originally, he felt these two industries had the most potential; he had seen the most knowledge in these two areas, beyond the basic theoretical knowledge. In the mainframe of Shelter A020, the technical manufacturing data for most industries was stored.

For example, in the battery industry, from manganese-zinc batteries to lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries, and to graphene batteries… apart from the most advanced super batteries which were not available, all other battery technology, from principles to manufacturing methods, was contained in the files.

This industry had limitless potential. If he were to release all these technologies, it would be enough to shake the world.

IT was the same, with various operating systems just starting out on Earth, while in that world, the Internet of Things had long become widespread and highly mature. Yang Jinxia’s control over so many robots was clear evidence.

Furthermore, there was the most crucial artificial intelligence, whether chips or programs. Theories, production methods and processes, the programming languages used, and various algorithms–all were clearly listed.

Not to mention anything else, if he could just bring artificial intelligence and robot chips to reality, it would be enough to establish an unprecedentedly vast business empire.

However, whether batteries or IT, materializing them on Earth posed certain difficulties.

The battery industry requires high barriers to entry and enormous investment. Chen Xu estimated that even a few hundred million wouldn’t be enough to burn through.

The difficulty in the IT industry lay in the fact that the language used for software development was different from that in the real world, presenting a significant translation challenge.

He stared at these two words for a moment and eventually picked up a pen, putting a check mark on IT.

Since the spread of personal computers and the massive growth of the internet, both domestically and internationally, many wealth creation myths had been born. Whether it was the speed of wealth accumulation or the total amount, it left people dumbfounded. By comparison, other traditional industries seemed somewhat insignificant.

As someone who grew up alongside the development of the internet, he had more confidence in this industry.

As for the difficulties, they could be overcome.

He turned on his computer and began searching.

The first thing he wanted to confirm was whether the chip architecture in the second dream world was the same as that of Earth’s chips. If the fundamental architecture of the chips was different, then he could only temporarily give up.

The instruction sets of several mainstream chip architectures in the market were partially open, and he quickly found them. Then he compared them with the instruction sets of the chips from the dream world.

This was not an easy task. Since he was looking at a playback, he couldn’t search; he had to pause occasionally, read the lines one by one, wait for himself in the video to turn the page, pause again, and continue reading down line by line for comparison.

After half an hour of comparison, his eyes had begun to blur. He thought this method was too inefficient, so he decided to type the entire instruction set from the playback into the computer.

…

Chen Xu spent several days completing this task. There were seventeen types of chips documented in the second dream world, and he typed out the instructions for all seventeen.

Then, using the search function for comparison, he actually found one that matched. He compared that chip’s instruction set with the one he found online, and they were almost identical, except the dream world’s version had more instructions.

He was ecstatic; this meant the IT knowledge from the dream world was applicable in the real world. Even if he was not skilled in development, he could simply copy the programs from the documentation.

“This is how it should be, after all. The dream world was created based on Earth. It’s normal for the chip architecture to be identical. They have different names, but they are essentially the same thing.”

He suddenly understood and started to wonder about the other sixteen types of chip architectures and which ones they corresponded to. Currently, the architecture he confirmed was one of the most mainstream in computer chips.

Next, he had to confirm the chips used in mobile phones. After all, it was the era of mobile internet.

When engrossed in work, time always flies by particularly fast.

Chen Xu got so busy that he spent half a month this way. Apart from eating and sleeping, he was immersed in programming, hardly even dealing with the company’s affairs. It wasn’t until this day, when the fourth branch was opening, that he had to pause what he was doing; it would be unacceptable not to show up. So he set his current tasks aside and went with Secretary Jin.

Besides them, Jiang Yan from Jinyun Group also came; it had been a long time since the two had seen each other, and they took this opportunity to discuss the company’s development.

Chen Xu listened to her, and it seemed that she was quite satisfied with the company’s rate of growth. As long as the momentum persisted, if the number of branches could be increased to twenty by the end of the year, Jinyun Group was willing to invest more.

He responded noncommittally. It was clear that Jinyun Group really needed a new brand to support their performance – anxious to talk about additional investment with just five branches.

Any additional investment from Jinyun would inevitably dilute his equity and harm his interests. He couldn’t just sit by and let it happen; he decided internally that he must act swiftly on his plans.

Finding a moment to himself, he sent a WeChat message to Yang Jinxia to arrange a meeting to discuss investment matters.
