Chapter 296: The Problem of Base One
"It's done!"
With the smell of alcohol, Sun Cheng returned to the company at more than two o'clock in the afternoon.
Facing Wang Lu, the general manager who rushed to his office with an anxious face, he waved his hand not very carelessly, and the order for the supercomputing center had been obtained.
To be more precise, it is the hard disk order for the [Asia Star] series of supercomputers, and Sun Cheng got it.
The two have known each other for a while, Wang Lu knew that his young boss had a very poor amount of alcohol, and seeing that he was a little drunk on his face, he took the initiative to open the cabinet in Sun Cheng's office, took out the tea caddy and brewed a cup of strong tea for him and handed it over.
Sun Cheng actually doesn't know how to taste tea, and even the tea prepared for reception in his office is just a few dozen cans of ordinary goods in the supermarket.
However, Wang Lu brewed a cup of hot tea for him and brought it to his face, the rich aroma of tea came to his nose, although he didn't know how credible this green tea hangover was, but his spirit was indeed slightly stimulated by the aroma of the tea in an instant.
"Thank you......"
He took a big sip and rinsed the remaining alcohol in his mouth.
Quickly put down the teacup and pushed it to the side, Sun Cheng saw Wang Lu's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, where it was not clear that he was very concerned about the order with the supercomputing center.
I had to say to him in detail: "For the time being, we have only reached a verbal agreement, and we will send someone over to talk about it when we go back, and it shouldn't be a big problem." It's just that I only won an order from a project team under the supercomputing center, and I didn't make much money! ”
It is true that he didn't make much money, he got only the intention order of the [Asia Star] project team that Zheng Jun was in charge of, a total of 24 sets of hard disk equipment of different specifications, and the price he offered Zheng Jun was only more than 400,000 yuan.
Originally, the procurement of equipment for the supercomputing center was the responsibility of a special department, but Zheng Jun's [Asia Star] project team was an exception.
In addition to developing a variety of commercial applications that are more convenient for the market and enterprises, reducing maintenance costs and reducing the production cost of supercomputing are all problems that Zheng Jun and his project team need to consider, so they can get some authorization, but they still have to report to the above.
The cost of hard disk procurement is far inferior to GPU and CPU, and even inferior to motherboard, and it can only rank fourth in the hardware procurement of supercomputers.
In 2013, the U.S. Department of Energy, Cray and Intel jointly manufactured a supercomputer called Catalyst, which was equipped with 12 3.2TB solid state drives, 36 128GB DRAM memory modules, and 304 800GB solid state drives, and the total cost of more than 300 hard disk devices was only more than 90,000 US dollars, which was converted into more than 600,000 yuan.
Although Sun Cheng doesn't know how the hard drive of [Asia Star] compares to Catalyst, he guesses that the purchase cost will not exceed much.
Because there are 3D printers that can overwhelm the cost very low, and at the same time, it can also be seen that Zheng Jun, who was born in Southern University of Technology, obviously has a good relationship with Shen Peiyuan, the new president of Southern University of Technology, as he had guessed before, and at best he can have a convenient friendship.
In order to avoid further incidents, Sun Cheng simply cut the price to the point that Zheng Jun and the others were a little embarrassed.
Not surprisingly, they will soon come over and sign a contract with Cybertron Technologies.
Wang Lu didn't know the specific situation, but he comforted him with a smile, "If you can win their list, let alone make less money, it's worth losing money." What we need most now is to build a brand, and the supercomputing center is the best pedal! ”
"Hmm!"
Sun Cheng nodded, there is a reward for paying, he still understands this truth.
After chatting for a few words, I felt that the alcohol that paralyzed my consciousness had dissipated a lot, and after my head turned and I didn't have the fluttering feeling just now, Sun Cheng's train of thought gradually cleared up.
He thought about it for a while before he said to Wang Lu: "Mr. Wang, you have finished reading Lu Nan's plan in the past few days!" ”
"Well, that's a lot of ideas!" Wang Lu saw that he was about to have a long talk, and the footsteps that were about to go back to the office immediately stopped, and sat down on the sofa on the side, "The feasibility is good, I think you can give it a try!" ”
Sun Cheng nodded, but his brows furrowed.
A question in the supercomputing center in the morning made him realize that no matter how good your product is, it has no popularity and has not been tested by the market, and people may not necessarily buy it.
Lu Nan's plan Sun Cheng admitted that if that kind of product is really launched, even if Cybertron Technology can't make a lot of money, it can at least completely revitalize its cloud disk, so that Cybertron Technology has the opportunity to become a domestic cloud disk giant from a start-up.
But it takes time!
Lu Nan may be a genius and creative, but the pressure on him to independently develop a voice software is still not a small one, Sun Cheng is very worried, the timeline he gave before, it is difficult for the other party to complete it within that deadline.
After pondering for a while, he exhaled and said slowly: "I didn't think about it before, I wanted to wait until the company completed the product designed by Lu Nan before launching it to the market, but I didn't carefully consider the time required for development, but I may not be able to wait so long." Mr. Wang, the suspended hard disk publicity over there continues to advance according to the original plan. We have to make a name for ourselves as soon as possible......"
Wang Lu immediately looked at him when he heard this, and was just about to ask in detail, when he saw Sun Cheng's face was extremely serious, he swallowed the words as soon as he reached his mouth.
"Maybe it's the pressure from the investors......"
Although Wang Lu didn't know what Sun Cheng really thought, he had been in the industry for many years, and he thought of the problems encountered in the start-up market with a turn of his head.
"I know, I'll explain it again on the publicity side, but can the product line keep up?"
"No problem, I'll go over and tell you later, there's no problem over there!"
The 3D printing equipment in the No. 1 base on the Huwangling side is from the hands of the Decepticon sappers.
If the production capacity really explodes, it will definitely amaze the semiconductor manufacturers of the world.
However, it is not without problems.
Thinking of this, the depression in Sun Cheng's eyebrows became a little more solemn.
After Cybertron Technology's hard disk is really bound to the cloud disk and starts to be promoted, the No. 1 base may have to purchase a large number of raw materials every day, and at the same time, the transportation of finished products can no longer be solved by just one of his pickup trucks.
Once outsiders are allowed in and out of there, the danger of exposure at Base 1 will be greatly increased.
"Can't put it off any longer......"
Picking up the teacup, he drank all the tea that had cooled inside.
It's time to solve the many problems on the side of Base 1.
