Time passed day by day, and October 20 finally came. +◆Top+◆Point+◆Small+◆ Say,

Getting up early in the morning, Ling Shizhe looked out the window and frowned.

It snowed, it was very heavy, goose feather snow, for some superstitious Chinese, on the day of the release of a new product, it actually snowed goose feathers, which represents bad luck.

Although Ling Shizhe does not believe in ghosts and gods, he has lived in Hong Kong for so many years, and he will be somewhat affected and cancel the press conference? It's too late, so you can only bite the bullet.

According to the weather forecast on the radio, the sudden heavy snowfall was caused by the sudden southward movement of the cold climate of the Canadian Arctic Circle, and after 11 o'clock at night, it began to snow all over Canada, and it became heavier and heavier, and most areas were covered with ice and snow.

Fortunately, when Ling Shizhe went out, the snow stopped and the sunshine came out, which made him feel a little better.

The car set off towards the headquarters of the "Water Cube", and along the road, various snow clearers were seen clearing the snow on the road, and the residents of the town were also clearing the snow in front of their homes.

The road that Ling Shizhe was driving had already been cleared by the snow clearing truck, and the snow was piled up on both sides of the road, so the road was not very difficult to walk.

Zhang Ke didn't dare to drive the car too fast, and the speed was always controlled at about 30 kilometers per hour, because although the snow on the road was cleared and could be opened to traffic, there were still a lot of ice slag on the road, which was easy to make the tires slip, so he pressed the speed all the way.

Not only him, but also other vehicles passing by, everyone is driving cautiously, for fear that if they are not careful, the tires will slip, causing the car to lose control and cause a traffic accident.

Looking out of the car window, I found that all the police in the town were dispatched, even the volunteer police and firefighters, many of them holding traffic batons and standing at the intersection of the road to direct the traffic, temporarily acting as traffic police.

The car stopped at an intersection, and a policeman walked over to Ling Shizhe's car, Ling Shizhe lowered the window, and the cold wind blew in from outside the car, making him shiver, and then he looked out, it was Sheriff Cox.

Cox came to the car and said, "Mr. Ling, good morning." ”

"Hello Sergeant Cox, I didn't expect you to personally act as the commander of the traffic police." Ling Shizhe had found a chubby policeman directing traffic earlier, but he didn't expect it to be him.

"This is one of the areas of my accusation, Mr. Ling, I came here to remind your driver, don't drive too fast, it has just snowed heavily, and the road is still very slippery." Cox was not an employee of Ling Shizhe, he was directly employed by the RCMP in Canada, so he always referred to Ling Shizhe as Mr.

"Okay, thanks for the reminder, Sheriff Cox, I'll remind my driver, goodbye, Sheriff Cox."

"Goodbye Mr. Ling, good luck."

"Good luck too, Sergeant Cox, you're a good cop with responsibility." Ling Shizhe gently complimented him, he knew very well in his heart that Cox was here to make friends with him, Ambrera Company was the master here, Ling Shizhe was the boss of the company, and Cox was the sheriff who was sent here, if he could have a good relationship with Ling Shizhe, it would be beneficial and harmless, and his work here would be much better.

Therefore, he will appear in front of Ling Shizhe at the right time, so that he can see that I, Cox, am a good policeman who is serious and responsible.

Ling Shizhe is not a junior brother who doesn't understand the world, and he knows what Cox's purpose is, so he also uses a sedan chair to carry people, and praises him by the way.

Sure enough, hearing Ling Shizhe's praise, Cox's face smiled very brightly.

The car continued to move forward, and Zhang Ke drove the car carefully, and said to Ling Shizhe, who was sitting in the back seat: "Boss, I didn't expect Cox, an authentic white man, to also pat the boss's ass." ”

Ling Shizhe smiled and said: "The bearded horse is not a Chinese patent, in the white world the same bearded horse, Cox, as a police sergeant sent over, if he wants to be outstanding in his work, he must have a good relationship with us, so that he can be promoted and rich."

This is a world where capital is king, and the capitalist is the boss. Unlike in China, where it is an official-based system, only we shoot the official's ass, no matter how small he is, here it is completely reversed, they pat our ass. ”

"Boss, there are two different cultures in the East and the West, and two different social systems, do you like that?"

"Why did you ask this question all of a sudden?"

Zhang Ke smiled and explained: "It's nothing, it's just that seeing Cox's performance in front of the boss reminds me of those officials in China, and I feel a little emotional." ”

"Well, in essence, I prefer the Western system because it is a system of equality and, more importantly, I am a capitalist." After speaking, Ling Shizhe laughed.

Zhang Ke also smiled, and from the rearview mirror, Ling Shizhe noticed that he was smiling a little reluctantly.

China is an official-based country, and officials are the mainstream of society, and the other three are non-mainstream in their eyes, although they say that they are for the country and the people.

As a capitalist, of course, Ling Shizhe likes the Western system, because only here can he be respected, because he has money, but in the East it is different, only those who have power can be respected, and businessmen are just pigs and sheep in the eyes of officials.

The car drove to the gate of the "Water Cube" headquarters and stopped, Ling Shizhe got out of the car to look at the time, there were still twenty minutes before the start of the press conference.

Looking around, he found that there were a lot of cars parked in the parking lots on both sides, and the security guard at the gate told him that the parking lots around the headquarters were already full of cars from all over the world.

Walking into the door, Ling Shizhe did not go to the exhibition hall where the press conference was held, but went directly to his office, today's press conference was not hosted and delivered by him, but by Andy Grove, who only had to wait for the news of the press conference in the office.

Ling Shizhe's personality is a bit homely, unlike Jobs's flamboyant personality, like to be in the limelight everywhere, he thinks that Ambrera Company has been in the limelight for many years, as the boss he is still low-key, he is not like Jobs is an authentic white American, he is a yellow race, but also Chinese.

A yellow-skinned Chinese suddenly appears in a predominantly white world, publicly announcing a generational supercomputer...... It's not a good thing to stand out from the crowd like this, or as the ancestors said, keeping a low profile is the king.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ling Shizhe turned on the TV and tuned the channel to the company's internal TV live broadcast network.

The huge press conference hall was already full of people, whites, blacks, and yellows, and there were so many reporters from all over the world in the hall that all kinds of long guns and short guns were aimed at the empty podium above.

Ling Shizhe made a preliminary calculation, there were no more than 2,000 people in the entire hall, and the seats had already been filled, and many people could only stand in the aisle.

The vast majority of the people who came were journalists, and the rest were not computer industry practitioners, or small businessmen who came here to look for opportunities, and representatives of third-party electronics manufacturers who maintained a good cooperative relationship with Ambrera also came, and they obviously came to see if the company's new products had good market prospects, and if so, they would ask the company whether the technology was open or not.

After a few minutes, when the time was up, the hall began to fall silent, Andy Grove walked up from the backstage, and the moment he walked out of the backstage, all kinds of guns and cannons were slamming at him below, and the sound of camera flashes rang out.

Andy Grove apparently expected this, and came to the podium wearing a pair of toad glasses and smiling at the reporters in the audience.

When the photojournalist below stopped, he took off the sunglasses he was wearing.

Suddenly, the flashing lights in the audience flashed again, flashing into a patch, Andy Grove, who had just taken off his glasses, was so tragic that he had to close his glasses, cover his eyes with his hands, and complain: "Do you want to give my eyes a flash?" ”

But the people in the hall laughed so hard that after laughing for a while, everyone stopped, and the reporters did not continue to flash at him.

Andy rubbed his eyes and began today's speech: "Today, our company is going to release a new type of computer, this computer is very different from the previous computer, we call it a blade server, a supercomputer...... He does up to 10 billion floating-point operations per second......

Rumble! When Alison reported its calculation data, all the people below exploded, you must know that the current supercomputer is still sprinting at a speed of 400,000 times per second, and now Ambrera announced a computer with a speed of up to 100 billion times per second, it is strange not to explode.

Then people first didn't believe that there was such a fast computer, and they all thought that Ambrera was lying, and everyone present questioned it, and even many reporters had already thought of the headline, "Ambrella's Big Lie" and so on.

Obviously, Andy was prepared for this situation, standing on the podium without speaking, without any expression, he came over for a while and waited for everyone to calm down, and said: "I know that everyone has a lot of suspicion of Ambrera, thinking that we are making fun of everyone and lying in front of the world......

"You are lying, you liar, how can you have hundreds of billions of computers, you will not have them in 20 years, you liar, you have deceived the world!" A man in the back stood up and shouted loudly and loudly.

The accident happened, and the hall began to be noisy, but the security guard of Ambrera Company reacted quickly and immediately put the troublemaker out.

After the others were taken out, Andy stood on the stage and said proudly: "I know you have a lot of doubts, but please think clearly, Ambrera is a large company with global sales of more than 10 billion US dollars, will we joke about this?" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the noisy hall instantly quieted down, yes, is it necessary for a large company with an annual production and sales of more than 10 billion US dollars to tell such a low-level lie? Let's hear what he has to say first.

After everyone sat down again, Andy continued: "Is it true, after I finish my speech, our staff will take everyone to the demo hall to see for yourself, and then you will know if our company is lying." Now let's move on, our company has designed a supercomputer with a turbine design, where each blade is a server, and it can work together and be scaled up or down as the application requires...... This supercomputer consists of 40,000 powerful CPUs...... Each CPU has a computing speed of nearly 500,000 ......"

With Andy Grove's narration, everyone was in a commotion/movement again and again, and Andy's speeches had to stop several times, very helpless.

He also understands the group of people in the audience very well, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it. Oh my God, a supercomputer with a speed of more than 100 billion operations per second appeared in the early 70s, which is really strange......

Looking at the chaotic crowd on TV, Ling Shizhe sincerely felt that giving up the supercomputer business was the most correct decision for him.
