Chapter 38 Special Meeting

The day before, Li Yunxiang was taken away by ambulance to the hospital, and apart from the attendees and staff on the 22nd floor, almost no one knew about it.

Meng Haolin and Mu Wei's absence from work today did not affect the normal operation of the Technology Development Center and Department Five, nor did it attract any attention. However, Gu Shiming taking over some matters made Chai Xinwei, who was in Department Five, notice something amiss.

Therefore, the four new members of the emergency response team were all shocked to hear that such a major incident had occurred at the company.

After briefly introducing the situation, Ji Yongsheng said, "Although the situation is quite serious, it is currently developing in a positive direction. This special meeting is mainly to better resolve some technical issues. This work will be led by General Manager Gu. Please work together to achieve results as soon as possible."

After he finished speaking, he stood up, nodded to everyone, picked up the agreement signed by Fang Wei and the others, and left the conference room.

The company has two vice presidents. Ji Yongsheng is in charge of non-business lines and usually does not participate in technical work. However, the fact that he convened a meeting as the head of the emergency response team but did not participate in the subsequent discussions could be seen as a signal.

As everyone here knows, General Manager Xia, who is in charge of the business lines, is on sick leave and it's unclear when he will be able to return to his post. Although Gu Shiming is the youngest among the six center general managers, he is the most likely successor, a point that is almost universally agreed upon among the senior executives.

If Gu Shiming takes the opportunity to advance further, along with Meng Haolin and Mu Wei, who are bound to be dismissed, several positions will become vacant, which would be perfect for the people present.

Realizing this, the group became eager. They believed they were qualified for promotion, both in terms of ability and experience.

Being able to attend this meeting indicates, at least to some extent, the approval of the company's senior management. Otherwise, there are plenty of people at the same level, so why is someone else sitting here?

Fang Wei, in particular, is already the director of Department Six, and the next step would be the general manager of the center, officially entering the ranks of the company's senior management. Such an opportunity is extremely rare, and once missed, it's unlikely to come again.

Gu Shiming cleared his throat, first introducing the IR1 project and its progress, and then sending the work plan to the big screen, assigning tasks to Fang Wei and others.

He then added, "Our IR1 project is a product of our response to the company's current crisis. This work can be done more deeply, and it is essential that we establish an assessment system for the 'subconscious influence of video content'."

His gaze swept across the conference room, finally landing on Wei Hongsi: "Hongsi, what are your thoughts? Let's talk about it first."

After seeing the meeting notice, Wei Hongsi did some thinking. Although his ideas weren't fully formed, he was at least prepared. Sensing a hint of testing in his senior's words, he said:

"Triggering specific negative emotions in the subconscious through video content is a new form of mental pollution; its impact on people's subconscious is like a psychological virus, silently invading and difficult to eradicate."

"Our analysis and judgment that Plan B contains a 'psychological virus' mainly relies on the simulation analysis of CMS. The park recruited a small number of volunteers to conduct actual verification, and the conclusions were consistent with the simulation analysis results."

"I believe that organizations that have developed such methods and used them to commit crimes will certainly not stop there, nor will they target only us or the amusement park. Moreover, having negative feelings towards a particular product or brand is just one of the less harmful forms of 'psychological virus'."

"If 'psychological viruses' are implanted into widely accessible media such as movies, TV shows, and short dramas to trigger other, more extreme negative emotions, it will have extremely serious consequences. It would be too costly to assess the extent of the harm after the 'psychological virus' has caused substantial damage."

"To prevent this kind of situation from happening, we must establish a pre-assessment system to identify whether the video contains 'psychological viruses' through quantitative indicators."

"The difficulty of this work lies in the fact that we currently only have one sample, Option B, which contains very few types of negative emotions, meaning that a lot of exploratory work is needed. In addition, we are only conducting simulation analysis and verification in our CMS, which lacks strong support for universality."

"In my personal opinion, we can develop a framework for corporate standards based on existing materials, then collaborate with Yuecheng University or other institutions with cognitive mirroring systems to jointly verify it, and launch a group standard. After that, we can consider upgrading it to an industry standard or a national standard."

After Wei Hongsi finished speaking, he looked at Gu Shiming and nodded slightly, indicating that his speech was over.

Gu Shiming said approvingly, "Hongsi spoke very well. This Paradise GG incident is both a crisis and a rare opportunity for us. Let's all share our opinions and suggestions."

Qian Jiayu and Yu Sheng were quite surprised by Wei Hongsi's speech.

After finishing work in the early hours of the morning, they had a late-night snack with Gu Shiming. During the meal, they talked about the follow-up work, and Gu Shiming gave them a brief overview of the plan to build an evaluation standard system.

Wei Hongsi's remarks were strikingly similar to Gu Shiming's line of thinking. If they didn't know Gu Shiming's character and style, they would have thought that Wei Hongsi had been tipped off beforehand. These two truly are from the same school.

Fang Wei and other new members of the project team all looked as if they had just woken up from a dream.

The tasks Gu Shiming had assigned them were all easy and didn't require much thought or effort, which kept their minds preoccupied with the prospect of promotion.

It wasn't until I heard Wei Hongsi's speech that I suddenly realized this was an opportunity even more important than a promotion.

In other words, if you can perform well in this job, a promotion is almost a certainty.

As a leading company in the industry, Zhiwei Technology has spearheaded and promoted the formulation of numerous standards, most of which have been upgraded to national or industry standards. The promulgation and implementation of these standards not only demonstrate the company's strength but also further solidify its position in the industry.

In cutting-edge technology fields, the right to set standards is directly related to the dominance of rules and market influence. In other words, whoever controls the standards controls the discourse.

The standard they are now promoting covers a very wide range of areas; the scope of just the few areas listed by Wei Hongsi is enormous, which means its impact will be tremendous.

If you can be listed as one of the main drafters in this standard, just based on that expert status, you can certainly make a living in the industry for at least eight or ten years, if not for a lifetime.

No one wants to miss such a rare opportunity.
