Halfway through the meeting, the two sides adjourned, and the U.S. delegation was sent to another room for a rest and discussion, while Barthes went to call the company's headquarters to make contact. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info while Chen Xu and his eldest brother returned to the lounge downstairs.

Because it is on China's turf, the US side must be careful everywhere and not even say too much, so as to prevent the Chinese side from overhearing commercial secrets and causing unfavorable results in the US negotiations.

After walking into the lounge, Chen Xu lay down on the sofa, put his feet on the coffee table, and sighed after taking a few deep breaths: "This business is really difficult to do, Americans have become vigilant, and it is not as easy to take the bait as it was back then." ”

The eldest brother followed him into the room, closed the door, walked in front of Chen Xu with a straight face, and asked, "Is the petaflop supercomputer you just said at the negotiation table true?" ”

"What is true or not, when have I ever done a fake again, and the transactions with the Americans are all genuine high technology, otherwise the Americans would not willingly sit at the negotiating table and let me slaughter, just because the good things I took out made them want to stop!" Chen Xu's legs kept shaking, and he said triumphantly.

"If it's true, then you made a big mistake this time, supercomputers are military weapons, which can be used to simulate nuclear explosions, calculate the trajectory of missiles, and even budget the weather around the world, how can you easily sell such a military value to the Americans!" The eldest brother blushed and had a thick neck, and his hands were waving in the air, as if Chen Xu was betraying the interests of the country.

"It's just an exchange of interests, didn't Westinghouse buy us the high-end nuclear industry in the United States? High-end technology must communicate with each other in order to progress! If we don't take advantage of the fact that we are absorbing more foreign technology now, and when the United States reacts to us in the future, it will be impossible to sell it even if we want to. After the Soviet Union withdrew all its experts, how difficult it was for us to move forward, and the older generation was almost dedicated to promoting the country's industrial development. Now that the international environment is favorable to us, if we don't take advantage of this strategic gap to absorb more advanced technology from the West, should we still let us use the lives of our researchers to develop technology? Chen Xu doesn't understand why the older generation always attaches so much importance to the existing technology, and does not take the opportunity to communicate with foreign countries, so that many zero-based scientific and technological projects directly jump to the world's advanced level. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, China has become the last obstacle to the hegemony of US imperialism in the world, and at that time, the whole world will impose a technological blockade on China, and there is no other way to go except for its own research.

"Who doesn't understand the truth, but you have to have a degree! We still have a foundation for this nuclear industry, but this petascale supercomputer is something that Americans don't have at all. Now supercomputers can play a great role in all walks of life, even nuclear power plants can simulate the operation, such an advanced thing for the Americans to go, you are disgusted that their technology is not high enough! The eldest brother slapped the palm of his left hand with the back of his right hand, spit in his mouth, and said bitterly.

Chen Xu pinched his chin, shook his head and said, "You can't say that, this supercomputer is useful to the US imperialists, and it is also of great use to ourselves!" In the research of supercomputing, we can cooperate with IBM in research, and even let them set up their laboratories in China, so that we can not only absorb the most advanced technology of Silicon Valley's electronics industry, but also develop supercomputing. It is not a loss to raise China's IT technology to the same level as US imperialism! ”

"Since we have the technology and can produce and manufacture it on our own, why should we sell such good supercomputing technology to the United States!" The eldest brother asked puzzled

"Produce it yourself! Do we have talent? Is there a factory? Computers in China have not yet become popular, and now many college students in universities don't even know what a computer is, so let them learn IT for four years, come out to work and accumulate three or five years of experience, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and then spend seven or eight years to study supercomputing technology. By that time, the Americans would have already developed their own million-level supercomputing, and who would still be rare in our technology!

The IT industry is already the primary industry of mankind, and such a huge industry needs tens of millions of talents, and it is not possible to train a few computer geniuses to solve the problem. The IT industry is changing all the time, and the leeks are growing faster than leeks, so it is better to take advantage of the current technological advantages, exchange the supercomputing technology in our hands for money, and then buy Westinghouse's nuclear industry equipment. So we have both a supercomputer and a nuclear industry, wouldn't we have the best of both worlds? Chen Xu crossed his fingers to settle accounts with his eldest brother, wanting him to understand that the petascale supercomputing technology is only worth money now, at most it is only a twenty years advantage, with the current situation of lack of talent in China, it will take more than 20 years to achieve the situation of Silicon Valley with many talents, and by that time people will no longer need your technology.

Speaking of this, Chen Weiguo also knew that the matter was unstoppable, and lamented: "Hey...... In the final analysis, the country is too backward, and this is a supercomputer that calculates petaflops of times per second, which can allow many of our research projects to quickly obtain first-hand experimental data and catch up with the pace of Western science and technology faster. ”

"Big brother, in fact, what I give Americans is not a petascale supercomputer at all, at most 400 trillion times, I am not stupid enough to really hand over the best supercomputing technology in my hands to the Americans. I'm just selling the petaflop supercomputer as a higher-level supercomputer, and they all say that the magic is one foot higher and the devil is one foot higher, and the Americans can't imagine that I will calculate them on this, no matter how careful they are! Chen Xu sneered and licked his lips.

"I knew you wouldn't be honest, but we have to be careful, maybe the Americans will be bad on the contract. In the final analysis, we and the United States are only in an alliance on the surface, but in fact, they do not trust each other. Hearing that Chen Xu handed over to the Americans was only a petascale supercomputer, Chen Weiguo's heart was a little more comfortable, after all, different levels of supercomputer software algorithms are different, if Americans want to upgrade to a more advanced petascale supercomputer, they have to re-study the new algorithm, or go to the Panda Group to buy it, but at that time Chen Xu may not agree to sell it again.

Chen Xu was chatting with his eldest brother here, and in another room upstairs, Bart was sweating and discussing Chen Xu's sky-high price with the board of directors of IBM.

The makeshift board meeting at IBM's headquarters in the United States is arguing over the matter, and some board members feel that such a huge deal will drag down the company's finances. But more people feel that after the success of this transaction, the company will certainly lose all its liquidity and even be burdened with debt, but the technology exchanged can allow the company to dominate the IT market for the next decade.

IBM, as the leader of the global IT industry, is facing the encirclement and suppression of other companies in all directions, especially the rapid development of the semiconductor industry, and no one knows when a new company will suddenly emerge and grab a big cake.

Now that Apple and Dell are computer hardware manufacturers on the rise, they are all dynamic new companies with all kinds of innovative technologies emerging one after another. Especially when Apple holds a new product launch conference, it is like a concert, attracting many fans to participate.

Even a company called Microsoft that relies on imitating the 'panda1.0 desktop window' system has sprung up and become a mixed bag, the window system launched by this company is only 300 US dollars, which is much cheaper than the price of thousands of dollars in panda companies, although the performance is almost useless, many computer companies choose Microsoft's Windows system in order to reduce costs.

However, the Panda Group, which is far away in China, has not made any moves on this, but the Japanese are so anxious that they have formally sued the company in a US court, demanding that Microsoft stop the infringement.

In fact, Chen Xu did receive a report that his Windows system was infringed in the United States, but he didn't take it seriously, because the system was originally copied from Microsoft. And the Panda Group will soon launch the Panda 2.0 Windows system, at that time the 1.0 version of the system will be free to open to the world, under the temptation of free, the Panda Windows system will become the only operating platform for personal computers, at that time those copycat Windows systems can no longer compete with it.

What's more, the follow-up Panda Windows system is installed with the intelligent brain cloud computing platform that cannot be deleted, IE web browser, clairvoyant search software, world documents, only with these four software, you can make Panda company invincible in the IT software industry. At the same time, through these software, we can collect the behavior data of users around the world, and then develop high-quality application software according to the user's usage habits.

Of course, the monopoly of the platform will only make the company lifeless, and wait until the panda desktop system takes over the world's computers. Chen Xu may make up his mind to completely open source the third-generation new desktop system when it comes to the market, so that the world can carry out in-depth development on the basis of the Panda desktop system, and various derivative systems will appear, and developers can customize their own system interfaces as they like on this extremely free platform.

Let developers all over the world help the Panda system develop a variety of different software, and at the same time get high returns, and finally form a technical ecosystem, and the Panda Group at the top of the ecological chain will be invincible.

The economic value of the ecosystem behind open source systems has not yet been recognized, so IBM's board of directors only wants to monopolize the hardware technology and double the company's stock. So they were very fond of the technology that Chen Xu sold this time, but they were a little shy away from its high price.

When they knew that it was because Westinghouse had bid $50 billion for the nuclear power plant project exported to China, so Chen Xu had set the price so high, the board members immediately cursed Westinghouse, and some even proposed to initiate an acquisition of Westinghouse!

In the aftermath of the Three Mile Island accident, Westinghouse's stock fell badly, and after the government halted nuclear power projects across the country, nuclear power companies across the United States were devastated. Now the acquisition of Westinghouse is only a matter of billions of dollars, and if it is done well, maybe hundreds of millions of dollars can be done.

After the acquisition of Westinghouse, IBM and Panda Group signed a new contract for a cheap nuclear power plant project, which saved a lot of money. (To be continued.) )
