Bringing Along a Ball and Hiding from Foreign Devils
Chapter 37
Ren Zhouyuan pretended to be busy packing up his things. He looked up at him and nodded.
This trip was for an inspection, and they were also here for the maker base that was about to open. The hotel they stayed in was part of the base, and the entire area was the company's property.
The base was currently 80% built, and large technological equipment could be seen everywhere. Compared to the scale here, the equipment that An An usually used in class was simply child's play.
Ren Zhouyuan also knew a lot about makers because of his previous papers. Now that he saw these equipment that only appeared in the information, it also aroused his interest. He forgot about the awkwardness for a while, and he began to study it seriously.
Leonid had been secretly observing his reaction. Seeing that he was no longer tense, he was finally relieved. He took Ren Zhouyuan around, and seeing that he was interested in large equipment, he specially found large ones for him to see.
The workers who helped to build the equipment were all Chinese, and most of them didn't speak Russian. Leonid thought about it, deliberately walked over with Ren Zhouyuan, and pointed to one of the robots to ask about the progress of the work.
The people who were asked didn't understand, so they subconsciously asked for help from the Chinese standing next to them. Ren Zhouyuan had no choice but to act as a temporary translator. As a result, he learned more, and in the end, it completely aroused his curiosity, so he asked one by one.
Occasionally, Leonid would tell him what certain equipment was used for. He had done a lot of research in this area, and he knew no less than a professor who specialized in teaching classes. When he encountered shortcomings, he would listen to the installation master's explanation, just like Ren Zhouyuan. It was just that Ren Zhouyuan listened to the master, and he listened to Ren Zhouyuan.
Ren Zhouyuan was really interested in this field. At first, it was because of his work. Later, because An An liked it, and he wanted to understand what this man was doing, he did a lot of research. After studying for a long time, he began to have a lot of interest in these VR, drones, driverless cars, and so on.
What Leonid told him today was something he hadn't seen before. He knew the operating principle of each piece of equipment like the back of his hand. He also told him many interesting things about foreigners using these equipment, which made Ren Zhouyuan more and more interested.
In just one morning, the distance between the two had shortened a lot, and Ren Zhouyuan's view of Leonid had also changed a lot. He had always thought that Leonid was a cold and expressionless person who would never say a word if he didn't have to. However, after spending some time with him, he realized that he was also a funny person. No matter where a knowledgeable person went, he would always be looked up to by others.
Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Ren Zhouyuan also asked a question that had been bothering him for a long time. "I've always been very interested in Chivich's business model. Your courses are sold at such a low price, but the equipment and teachers can be said to be the best in all of China, or even the world." He pointed to the equipment in front of him and said, "These pieces of equipment alone are worth a lot of money. You even built such a large maker base. Is it really that easy to earn money?"
Leonid looked at his face. He didn't know why he felt that this person in front of him was so gentle and scholarly, but he asked such a tacky question. This contrast was unexpectedly a little cute. He smiled, pointed his index finger at his head, and said, "This is what we earn."
"Huh?" Ren Zhouyuan was puzzled.
Leonid brought him to the drone area, picked up one of the drones that was being debugged, and handed it to Ren Zhouyuan. "Do you know this drone? This is the fastest drone in the world, and its founder set up his own drone company at the age of 18. He was only 11 when he first came into contact with drones. "
Ren Zhouyuan touched the body of the drone. An An was also a drone enthusiast, so he more or less knew a little about it.
Leonid gave many more examples, ranging from robots, drones, driverless cars, to even smaller inventions. Almost all of them were ideas thought up by teenagers, and these wonderful ideas were then turned into reality by the hands of scientists.
Ren Zhouyuan seemed to have caught on to Leonid, but he was not sure.
Leonid took a pair of VR glasses and put them on for Ren Zhouyuan. Then, he turned on the device, called up an image of the human brain, and used a pen to dissect the entire brain bit by bit.
"It is generally believed that the dividing line for the human brain's memory is about 3.5 years old. At the age of five or six, children's intellectual development will have its first leap. At the age of 16, the adolescent's brain will have a chance to fully develop, and at the age of 20, the brain will reach the peak of development, after which it will begin to decline."
Leonid stood behind Ren Zhouyuan, holding a pen in his right hand, and moved it past Ren Zhouyuan's ear. His huge body seemed to surround Ren Zhouyuan completely.
"We've done research. The average age of children is between five and eighteen. They are the best in terms of creativity, imagination, and hands-on ability. They can think of things that adults can't. As long as they are given a platform, they can turn their ideas into reality." He put down the pen, and his deep and rich voice rang in Ren Zhouyuan's ear. "We don't earn money from the course fees, but from the sale of brains."
Ren Zhouyuan stood there, so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
He had never thought that someone could sell a human's brain in such a way. Indeed, the human brain was the most priceless treasure in the world. Children could think of many things that adults couldn't, but these things were intangible. What Leonid was doing now was turning these intangible ideas into tangible objects.
Leonid helped him take off his glasses, patted him on the back, and gestured for him to move on.
After that day, Ren Zhouyuan felt like his worldview had been turned upside down. Not only toward Vic, but also toward Leonid.
What this man was doing now, for the company, or perhaps for the world, was a big deal.
Perhaps as a businessman, Leonid was thinking about how to turn the ideas of children into reality, and then apply for patents to earn more money. But without a doubt, turning ideas into reality was more than just important to the progress of society!
No wonder so many top scientists were willing to stay in this small place and accompany the children in the course that seemed like fun in the eyes of outsiders. No wonder Vic's development was recognized by so many authoritative figures both at home and abroad.
After that day, Ren Zhouyuan looked at the old professors who worked in Vic differently, let alone Leonid.
When the two returned to the hotel, the awkwardness from the morning was gone. Ren Zhouyuan felt that what Leonid had said would be very helpful for him to write his thesis. Taking advantage of the opening, he asked Leonid many secrets about the company's operations.
Leonid was more than happy to talk to him. In his heart, Ren Zhouyuan was already his other half, and it was only a matter of time. Almost every time Ren Zhouyuan asked a question, he would answer ten times, revealing everything he knew. Seeing Ren Zhouyuan getting closer and closer to him without him knowing, he was extremely happy.
Leonid kept Ron's teachings in mind. During the conversation, he didn't forget to mention his views on children's education. He secretly observed Ren Zhouyuan's expression and felt that it was quite effective, so he continued to talk.
He wanted to ask about Ren Juan, but he was afraid that the good atmosphere he had created would be ruined, so he could only hold back his questions.
The conversation between the two was undoubtedly pleasant. Ren Zhouyuan never thought that he would one day be able to stand on equal footing with Leonid and talk freely.
There was no doubt that Leonid was a good boss. Judging from his avant-garde education ideas, he might also be an excellent educator.
