The name of the GSI graphics workstation sounds lofty, but if you don't know how to look at the shell, it's actually not much different from a personal computer.

In the era when personal computers were not yet developed, there were higher-performance graphics workstations that beat almost all personal computers.

However, with the rise of the X86 architecture, the fierce competition between the two host manufacturers in terms of hardware has led to the rapid improvement of the processor performance of personal computers. In terms of software, Macintana Systems and Windows Systems are becoming more and more powerful, and they are beginning to encroach on the living space of GSI graphics workstations.

The last straw that broke the camel's back was the emergence of a single straw on a personal computer. Vertical graphics card. By this time, personal computers have been able to meet the needs of most users in terms of general video production and 3D rendering.

In this way, cheap x86 computers began to become mainstream, and GSI graphics workstations became more and more niche, and eventually went into decline.

Therefore, if you want to talk about the future of GSI graphics workstations, then Song Mu only needs four words to summarize - gradual decline.

William Adams didn't know that Song Mu had the same memory as "Great Prophecy", so he explained to Song Mu according to his own ideas: "At present, our graphics workstations are mainly used in D drawing, graphic design, some 3D modeling, and film editing, although our market in this area has been very stable.

"But stability, if you put it another way, is that there is no more possibility. I was crazy about this dilemma, looking for a way to break the situation day and night, until one day, "Plan D" appeared......"

Speaking of this, William Adams's eyes seemed to be lit with a flame. With a hot gaze, he stared at Song Mu tightly: "In "Plan D", I saw more possibilities for GSI graphics workstations, and thus found new hope. In the recent past, we have put all our energy into optimizing the processing of 2D graphics, and we are looking forward to the GSI graphics workstation to shine in the animation industry. Hot. And the animation industry is at the forefront, it is you, Miss Song, and your team! ”

The last rainbow fart was filmed, and even people like Song Mu felt comfortable.

But comfortable is comfortable, and she didn't turn on the green light directly because of this rainbow fart: "Mr. Adams, I can understand your feelings, but the price of GSI graphics workstations ......"

"It may be a lot more expensive than a personal computer, but compared to it, a personal computer is garbage!" William Adams directly interrupted Song Mu's words: "The price of the GSI graphics workstation is definitely worth the money!" You just have to try it and realize that your money is not in vain! ”

William Adams was a little emotional, but Song Mu had not been affected by him for a long time. She slowly took another sip of her coffee, and slowly put the cup back, then spread her hands and said, "Don't say it's worth the money, even if it's worth the money, we can't afford it." ”

Seeing that William Adams was about to argue again, Song Mu waved his hand and said: "Mr. Adams, you don't need to talk to me about the advantages of GSI graphics workstations, as you said before, I have a certain understanding of it." But it's also an indisputable fact that it's expensive, isn't it? ”

This is really not Song Mu crying poor, although she has never used a graphics workstation, but she vaguely remembers that it seems to have been mentioned in the textbooks when she was in school, the performance of GSI graphics workstations in this era is more than ten times that of personal computers, and the price is dozens of times that of personal computers.

You know, a customized version of the top Macintana computer, in the case of the fruit company even buying and giving away, the price is tens of thousands of yuan, and the GSI graphics workstation is dozens of times the price, how big is that astronomical amount? ! How much is the average salary in this era? It's just a few hundred!

In other words, if an ordinary working family wants to buy a GSI graphics workstation, it may not be enough to work for a lifetime without eating or drinking! It is almost comparable to buying a mansion in the imperial capital in later generations!

Afraid that William Adams would continue to argue, Song Mu simply told William Adams about the price of the computer he bought from the fruit company, as well as the relevant benefits and services given by the fruit company.

"Look, Mr. Adams, I shouldn't have told you this, but that's what happened." Song Mu looked at William Adams, who was a little depressed, and said to him calmly: "Maybe in your opinion, the personal computers of the fruit company are garbage at all, but we use them and have no worries. The GSI graphics workstation is really powerful and I'll admit I'm even more obsessed with it. Drops, can be ...... It's so expensive, it's too expensive for a small studio like ours to afford......"

Listening to Song Mu's words, the corners of Han Yangqiu's eyes couldn't help twitching. Moved.

Han Yangqiu could see that Song Mu wanted to buy the GSI graphics workstation very much, he didn't know how expensive the GSI graphics workstation was, but thinking of the family background of the elite group today, and listening to Song Mu's words so disregardful, he guessed that the price of the GSI graphics workstation must be too expensive to imagine.

Being able to understand Song Mu does not mean that he can accept it, while diligently translating her words for Song Mu, he secretly slandered in his heart: "Under the jurisdiction of the largest state-owned art film studio in China, the elite group supported by the director of the studio against all odds, won't her conscience hurt in order to bargain and be said to be worthless?" ’

After listening to Han Yangqiu's translation, William Adams's face became more and more depressed, he didn't speak for a long time, his eyes looked into the distance blankly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Song Mu didn't rush to urge him, but attached himself to Sun Liang's ear and whispered to him to order another cup of coffee for himself......

Until the second cup of coffee was almost finished, William Adams still didn't say a word.

Sun Liang quietly asked Song Mu if he wanted another drink, and Song Mu shook his head slightly, saying that he didn't need more for the time being.

"Teacher Song, this foreigner can't be stupid, right?" Sun Liang whispered in Song Mu's ear: "He has been stunned for almost half an hour, could it be that he was directly stimulated by you into a vegetative state?" ”

The corners of Song Mu's mouth couldn't help twitching. After moving, she was actually a little confused about the current situation, thinking that she just wanted to bargain, if you don't want to bargain, just say it, what does it mean to just paralyze here and not say anything!

Thinking about this kind of words in her heart, Song Mu sighed softly, and then replied in a voice that only she and Sun Liang could hear: "I think so...... Vegetative people are not, but they are definitely irritated to some extent. What I don't quite understand is, did I say anything excessive? ”

"Probably not...... Right? Sun Liang replied not very surely, and turned to Song Mu and asked, "Then what should we do now?" If we continue to consume like this, we may have to miss the car back. ”

Song Mu sighed lightly and said, "It's taken so long, just wait another five minutes." If Mr. Adams continues to pretend to be a wooden man, let's just say goodbye. ”

"After I can't go back, I'll let the four of them find a channel, and just buy a few ......units at the original price or add some money," Song Mu added secretly in his heart.

Less than five minutes later, William Adams's eyes, which were staring straight into the distance, suddenly moved, and then he slammed his palm on the table as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. Fortunately, they were in a private room, otherwise this palm would have attracted countless hostile or contemptuous glances.

Song Mu raised her eyebrows, her eyes looked at William Adams, and her hand picked up the coffee cup and poured the last coffee into her mouth. Regardless of the final outcome of William Adams' long reflection, this meeting will surely come to an end after his remarks.

William Adams did not disappoint Song Mu, only to see him get up from the chair with a "hoof", and almost gritted his teeth and said to Song Mu: "I'll send you ten directly." ”

"Poof~~ cough cough cough! Ahem! Ahem, ahem! The last sip of coffee that was just about to be swallowed was directly squirted out of Song Mu's mouth, and the little that didn't squirt out was accidentally inhaled into her lungs by her, causing a violent cough.

"Ahem, cough, cough~ cough~ Mr. Adams, you~cough cough~ What did you say?!" Song Mu asked incredulously while wiping the corners of his mouth.

"He said he was going to give us ten." Han Yangqiu did not translate Song Mu's question to William Adams, but repeated it directly for Song Mu very intimately.

Song Mu: "...... Thank you. “

Han Yangqiu: "No thanks. ”

Song Mu: "......"

Didn't I hear that? I just wanted to express my unbelievable little feelings, okay?!

A GSI graphics workstation is worth tens of millions! I will send ten units directly when I open my mouth, is this a problem with my ears, or is there a problem with his head?!

William Adams' position was directly opposite Song Mu, and because he stood up at this moment, the coffee that Song Mu squirted was not sprayed on his face, but on his body.

However, as if he hadn't noticed it at all, his eyes were unusually clear, and he couldn't see any signs of madness.

Song Mu held a tissue in his hand, looked at the coffee stains on William Adams's body, and didn't know if he should wipe it.

After a moment's pause, she simply threw the tissue aside, stared into William Adams' eyes and said, "I've heard someone say that 'free is always the most expensive'." So, what do you want from us? ”

"I don't need anything from you." William Adams shook his head, "Not only that, but all the members of my lab will also go to your studio to teach your team how to use the GSI graphics workstation. ”

Song Mu felt as if she had thought of something, but she couldn't fully grasp it for a while, so she frowned and asked, "Why?" ”

"For the future!" William Adams spat out a few words firmly.
