Chapter 68: Supercomputer Shrinkage Plan (Part I)
When Zhang Lexing fell asleep with a grudge against the computer, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, outside a café one street away from the headquarters of the VisualSystem Group, Yang Xinxin stood at the door and looked at her watch, there were still three minutes before the agreed time, she took advantage of the reflection of the glass at the door to tidy up her appearance, and then pushed the door and walked in.
As the door opened, the doorbell on the door rang with a "jingle bell", Yang Xinxin walked into the café, stood at the door and glanced around, and suddenly a middle-aged man waving his arm in the distance caught her attention, and from a distance it seemed to be the object of today's meeting, so Yang Xinxin walked over to the middle-aged man.
When she got closer, Yang Xinxin recognized that the middle-aged man was Chen Shiqing, and she took two steps forward and said, "Dr. Chen, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”
"It's okay," Chen Shiqing looked at his watch and said, "I just came four minutes and thirty-three seconds earlier than you, Miss Yang, you are not late, let's sit first." ”
Yang Xinxin pulled out a chair and sat down, and at this moment, a waiter appeared just right, stood next to Yang Xinxin, and asked respectfully, "Miss, what do you need?"
"Just give me a glass of lemonade. After Yang Xinxin finished speaking, her eyes turned to Chen Shiqing opposite: "Dr. Chen, do you need anything?"
Chen Shiqing shook his head, pointed to the cup of coffee in front of him and said, "No need, just have this cup." ”
Yang Xinxin waved her hand, and soon after the waiter left, she brought another glass of lemonade, put it in front of Yang Xinxin, and said respectfully, "Miss, please use it slowly", and turned to leave.
Yang Xinxin took a sip of the cup, and didn't rush to speak, but Chen Shiqing couldn't help but speak first: "Miss Yang, what is the research project about supercomputers that you talked about on the phone?"
"Dr. Chen, you may be misleading, but that research project is not directly related to supercomputers, but it is not completely unrelated. Here's the thing, the performance of supercomputers is getting faster and faster, but the place they occupy is always not small, and it is still more troublesome to use, if there are several supercomputers at the same time, it is easy to waste resources, so we are thinking about whether we can replace supercomputers with ordinary computers. ”
"Miss Yang, this is impossible, ordinary computers cannot replace supercomputers. ”
"One certainly won't work, but what if there are a hundred, or even a thousand. ”
"So how do you keep the communication between so many computers, how do you keep the data flowing reasonably, Miss Yang, the more computers this computer has, the more complex it will be. ”
"We are working on solving this problem, Dr. Chen, please don't forget that what our company is best at is the operating system. ”
Chen Shiqing spread his hands and said, "In this case, then what are you looking for me to do, you can solve it yourself." ”
"The problem of collaboration between multiple ordinary computers has been hopefully solved, but we have encountered a new problem, which takes up a lot of space when the number of ordinary computers increases, and someone recommended you to me, Dr. Chen, and he thinks you can solve this problem. ”
"Hehe, who is this, I study supercomputers, and it may be more reliable for you to go to IBM for the volume of ordinary computers. Chen Shiqing thought it was very funny after listening to it, this is simply a mess of mandarin duck scores.
"The person who recommended you said that in order to reduce the size of an ordinary computer, it is necessary to improve its integration, so that it can be compressed, and even a computer can be completely integrated into a board, and Dr. Chen, your supercomputer R&D team is very familiar with every part of the computer, and I believe that there will be a good way to reduce the size of the computer. ”
"Shrink the computer to a board", Chen Shiqing felt that this sentence simply spoke to his heart, of course, the disadvantages of supercomputers as a designer is the most clear, he also moved the idea of improvement, but the current level of technology can be improved under the room is very small, several attempts have not succeeded, as for the volume of the supercomputer he also had ideas, and even fantasized about whether one day the volume of the supercomputer is only as big as an ordinary computer, I can't think of anyone now than he thought.
"Miss Yang, may I ask who that person is?" Chen Shiqing looked at Yang Xinxin and asked eagerly.
"Oh, he's the company's director, Zhang Lexing, Dr. Chen, you ......"
"Is anyone else there?"
"I'm sorry, he's out of the country. ”
Chen Shiqing shook his head and sighed: "Alas, that's really a pity. ”
"Dr. Chen, would you like to talk to him?"
"Yes, Miss Yang has a way?" Chen Shiqing leaned forward, and hope rose in his heart again.
"Well," Yang Xinxin thought for a moment and said, "Dr. Chen, Mr. Zhang has gone to Hong Kong, if you don't mind going there, I can contact him and ask him to wait for you in Hong Kong." ”
"It's okay, you give me the address, I'll take the nearest flight. Chen Shiqing couldn't wait.
"But it's night over there, if you need to get in touch," Yang Xinxin looked at her watch: "I'm afraid it will take at least twelve hours to wait." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm too anxious. Chen Shiqing smiled embarrassedly.
"Dr. Chen, if that's not the case, you can stay here first, I'll contact that side as soon as possible, and I'll inform you when there's news." Do you need help arranging a place to stay?"
"No, I've already found a place to live. Chen Shiqing shook his head, took out a note book from his arms, then took out a pen and wrote something on it, then tore it off and handed it to Yang Xinxin: "Miss Yang, this is the address and phone number of the hotel, I am staying in room 6302, please inform me as soon as possible if there is any news." ”
"Don't worry, I'll let you know as soon as I have any news. ”
……
The next morning (Beijing time), Zhang Lexing had just gotten up, and before he could go downstairs to exercise, the phone in the living room couldn't wait to ring.
Zhang Le walked over and picked up the microphone, and as soon as he put it to his ear, Yang Xinxin's anxious voice came from inside: "Lexing, don't ask so much, hurry up and book a ticket to Hong Kong, the fastest." ”
"Sister Xin, what's so urgent?" came early in the morning without a head and a brain, Zhang Lexing felt a little inexplicable.
"Leave it alone, hurry up and buy a ticket first. The sound from the earpiece suddenly increased, and Zhang Lexing's ears were a little numb.
Moving the earpiece a little, Zhang Lexing said: "Sister Xin, it's only 6:20 in the morning, and the place where the tickets are sold hasn't opened yet, so it's useless to go." ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, I miscalculated the time, I thought it was eight o'clock over there, brother. Yang Xinxin's apologetic voice came from the earpiece.
"Sister Xin, now you can tell me what the hell is going on. ”
"That's the ......" Yang Xinxin briefly said the conversation with Chen Shiqing on the phone: "He listened to what I said, and suddenly became very interested in you, so I asked him if he would like to go to Hong Kong to talk to you, and he agreed." ”
"Sister Xin, you have nothing to say about Hong Kong, I'm obviously in Beijing, why don't you let him come to Beijing?"
"You don't understand this, I am also for the sake of the future, if this research project is placed in the United States, it may encounter unfortunate things such as technological blockade, but it is very different if it is placed in Hong Kong, so Chen Shiqing must be persuaded to be willing to go to Hong Kong to carry out research. Now there is a research institute of microelectronics in Hong Kong, with very good research conditions, for a research-oriented scholar like Chen Shiqing, the most concerned is whether there is a good research environment, this time let him come to Hong Kong to talk to you, just seize the opportunity to persuade him to stay, for this goal, I have good intentions. ”
I didn't expect Yang Xinxin to hit this idea, but she was right, this research project is the most suitable in Hong Kong, not only can you enjoy the foundation laid by the Institute of Microelectronics in the early stage, but the research results team also has great value for the game console hardware research and development team stationed in Hong Kong.
"Thank you, Sister Xin. Zhang Lexing, who had figured it out, said gratefully.
"There's no need to be so polite, it's all my own family. Remember to buy a ticket later, let me know early when you buy it, and I'll wait for your call. After speaking, Yang Xinxin hung up the phone.
Putting down the phone, Zhang Lexing went downstairs to exercise as usual, and then finished breakfast, and then went to the creative workshop early with Ma Guanghai. When he came to the company, it was just time to go to work, Zhang Lexing came to the administrative department, and Chu Jing came in advance as usual and was cleaning up his desk.
"Chu Jing, please excuse me, help me buy two tickets to Hong Kong, I and Brother Guanghai, the fastest one, I want to go to Hong Kong as soon as possible to do something. ”
"Okay, I'll get you in touch right away. ”
Chu Jing's efficiency is always very high, and in less than an hour, she brought good news.
"Le Xing, the ticket has been booked, Dragonair, at half past three in the afternoon, and the time to Hong Kong is seven fifty in the evening. I'll go get my ticket before I get off work at noon, do I need anything else?"
"No need, Chu Jing thank you. You go get busy first, and I'll look for you if there's something. ”
After Chu Jing left, Zhang Lexing picked up the phone and dialed an international call, and the bell rang for a while before someone answered.
Only then came Yang Xinxin's slightly tired voice from the phone receiver: "Hey, which one is it?"
"Sister Xin, it's me, the ticket to Hong Kong has been booked, and it's at half past three this afternoon. ”
"Oh, brother, you've worked hard, and I haven't rested much yet, and I want you to run. ”
"It's okay, I had a good rest last night, and besides, this matter is also related to me, so it's okay to take a run. ”
"Well, I'll let Dr. Chan know tomorrow and I'm sure he'll take the fastest flight. When you arrive in Hong Kong, remember to call us, and it will be easy to contact when the time comes. ”
"Okay, I'm in touch with Hong Kong, goodbye ......"
Putting down the phone, Zhang Lexing looked at his watch, it was now 10:05 a.m. Beijing time, and there were still 5 hours and 25 minutes before the plane took off, and there was enough time to prepare. I found Li Chunlin and Chu Jing, explained the company's recent development direction (training newcomers, accumulating development strength), and then left with Ma Guanghai. I went back to my accommodation and simply packed my luggage, but fortunately, Zhang Lexing didn't have many things to bring in summer, and it was more than enough to pack it into a trolley suitcase. After packing up their things, Zhang Lexing and Ma Guanghai returned to the company, and Chu Jing just took back the two air tickets, and everything was ready and only left to leave.
……
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the flight of Dragonair Airlines landed at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport, Zhang Lexing and Ma Guanghai were warmly welcomed as soon as they came out of the terminal, and led a large group of people to pick up the plane. In fact, according to Zhang Lexing's temperament, he didn't like so many people around him, but the things back then were choked like thorns, so that Andatai Security Company and even the entire Oriental Group had to be careful, and Zhang Lexing was helpless about it.
All the way to the Peninsula Hotel, after dinner, * after assigning the floor key, he entered the room with Zhang Lexing, along with Ma Guanghai, and the other bodyguards began to set up a cordon outside the door according to the plan. After entering the door, Ma Guanghai moved a chair and sat down in the foyer, while Zhang Lexing and * came to the living room to sit on the sofa.
* took out a notepad from his bag, flipped through it and said: "Boss, we have made arrangements for what you requested, Mr. Shao of Dongfang Microelectronics and Vice President Ye of the Microelectronics Research Institute have been notified, and they are also ready to receive them." Tomorrow there will be two other assistants coming, and the three of us will assist the boss in handling the official business during their stay in Hong Kong. Boss, if you need anything else, feel free to come to me. ”
After speaking* closed the notepad and looked over, Zhang Lexing nodded and said, "Well, it's good, you go to rest first, I'll call you if you have something." ”
* stood up and bowed slightly: "Boss, then I'll go first." With that, she turned and walked out. When she was about to go out, she turned around and looked at Zhang Lexing, who came to the window to enjoy the night view, a look of disappointment flashed on her face, and then she walked through the courtyard and disappeared outside the door.
After the footsteps disappeared, Zhang Lexing returned to the sofa and picked up the phone to dial an international call......
The next day, Zhang Lexing first came to Oriental Holdings for a short meeting, the main topic is to enhance the role of the Beijing office, and finally after discussion, it was determined that in addition to adding a part of the staff, four assistants, including *, will be sent to be in charge of the collection and sorting of various industries under it, as well as responsible for the schedule of Zhang Lexing's work.
After the meeting, Zhang Lexing had a tour under the leadership of *, and did not rush to Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport until 5 p.m., Dr. Chen's flight was almost there.
Unfortunately, the plane was delayed, and it was not until almost seven o'clock that the news finally came that Dr. Chen's United Airlines flight UA869 had landed, and after waiting for more than 20 minutes, a middle-aged man appeared in front of an assistant holding a signboard to pick up people.
Then the street lamp light, Zhang Lexing looked at it, it seemed to be a little similar to the person he saw back then, so he stepped forward and asked, "Is it Dr. Chen Shiqing?"
Hearing someone speak, the middle-aged man turned around and replied, "Exactly, please you are?"
"Dr. Chen, welcome to Hong Kong," said Zhang Lexing, who smiled and extended his hand to Dr. Chen, "I am Zhang Lexing." ”
