Chapter 18: Supercomputing
"Director Chen, I don't want to waste time, can the supercomputer of 130,000 TFlop/s be delivered within four months? One-third of the 2.4 billion RMB will be paid upfront, and the remaining two-thirds will be delivered after the construction is completed. ”
In the afternoon, in a café outside the campus, Lu Yi looked at an intellectual working woman sitting opposite him and said calmly.
The first phase of ZTE and Unicom funds will be in place next week, and Lin Meng's side is also going well, and he doesn't want to negotiate slowly.
In a word, he lacks everything now, that is, he is not short of money, and time is more important than the money that is destined to be spent.
"Mr. Lu, the light of Taihu Lake is only 125,000TFlop/s, and the supercomputing of 130,000TFlop/s is required to be delivered within four months, which is too difficult."
Chen Rou, who came to discuss this project with Lu Yi, looked at Lu Yi's handsome and calm face, and a wry smile appeared on her face.
With a supercomputing construction of more than 100,000TFlop/s, this is definitely a super project for Sugon.
The company headquarters heard that the client was a junior and decided to let her, who was working on another medium-sized project, take charge of it after making sure that the other party really planned to build a supercomputer and not fool around.
Of course, this is not a seduction, but an attempt to use the general psychology of men to see if they can increase their negotiating advantage.
After all, college students' social experience and self-control will not be very strong, and it is inevitable that they will be subconsciously humble in the face of young and beautiful people of the opposite sex.
But when she made an appointment with Lu Yi and reduced the first face, Chen Rou knew that the company's strategy had failed.
Even if she sees such a man, it is inevitable that dopamine will be strengthened and her heart will be beaten, let alone what it will be like at school.
The beauty trick may be very effective for technical nerds and ordinary men, but it is doomed to failure for people like Lu Yi.
If you really want to see a beautiful woman who can't open her legs, Lu Yi is not a steel single dog now, and so many pick-ups these days may have achieved the title of 100 people.
"The light of Taihu Lake is a supercomputer for 16 years, the technology in the computer field is changing with each passing day, and now a smart phone is more powerful than the supercomputer in the 80s and 90s, and the supercomputing construction that cannot be completed in 16 years and 3 months does not mean that it cannot be completed in 3 months now."
Lu Yi was unmoved on his face and smiled: "The price of 2.4 billion RMB is already huge, you have a lot of profits for this project, if you can't complete Sugon, I think Shanghai Supercomputer should be very interested in this project." ”
The supercomputing of 130,000TFlop/s is delivered in 3 months, even if it is now 18 years, it is a bit difficult, but it is not impossible for Sugon.
According to Lu Yi's investigation, Sugon is currently building a small supercomputer for another company, and the materials and parts and instruments in the early stage have been prepared, and only these materials and instruments need to be transferred.
After all, supercomputing chips and devices are almost universal, and the difference is only the difference in architecture and system, which is the real technology of supercomputing.
According to the normal market price, the overall cost of supercomputing of 130,000 TFlop/s is about 2.2 billion to 2.3 billion, and of course, the construction period is more than 6 months.
Now Lu Yi has raised the quotation to 2.4 billion, which is equivalent to an increase of more than 100 million in the net profit of this supercomputing construction project, and Lu Yi believes that Sugon will find a way to complete it within 3 months for this more than 100 million net profit.
"I need to ask for instructions." Chen Rou was entangled for a while, then said to Lu Yi and walked outside.
Before the age of 30, Chen Rou achieved the position of project director, and Chen Rou was not lacking in decisiveness and authority, but the plan proposed by Lu Yi was still beyond her decision-making power, and she needed to ask for instructions from above to make a decision.
A few minutes later, Chen Rou walked back, sat down and said, "Mr. Lu, if you try your best, you can complete the construction within 3 months, but this offer ......"
"Just 2.4 billion, the normal market price is clear to everyone, 2.4 billion you don't accept, I can find Shanghai Supercomputer."
Before Chen Rou could speak, Lu Yi waved his hand to interrupt and said with a tough attitude.
"Okay, 2.4 billion RMB."
Chen Rou accepted the offer when she tried to raise the price hopelessly, took out an agreement from her carry-on bag, and said: "Let's sign a preliminary intention first, the supercomputer operation consumes a lot of power, and the weight of the supporting cooling system is not light, so Mr. Lu needs to pay attention to the power lines and the load-bearing site."
Later, I will send you a copy of the site standards, and the formal contract will be signed when Mr. Lu and you provide a site that meets the construction standards. ”
"Yes, I think Director Chen, your professionalism is still reassuring."
Lu Yi took the agreement and looked at it, the simple intention agreement did not have legally binding clauses, and he signed his name on it.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu."
Seeing Lu Yi signing on it, Chen Rou showed a hint of joy on her face, their salary composition is in addition to the basic salary, and there is also a performance commission, and this project is finalized enough for her to get a million commission.
Putting away the agreement of intent signed by Lu Yi, Chen Rou looked at Lu Yi with a burning eye, reached out and pulled his hair and said with a smile: "Xiao Yi, it's not too early, why don't I invite you to dinner?" It's a celebration of the signing of this project. ”
Unconsciously, Chen Rou's address to Lu Yi changed from Mr. Lu, who was formal in business, to Xiao Yi.
Young and golden, handsome and talented, such a man is like a poison for a woman of the right age, especially that handsome appearance, even if there is no money, I am afraid that there will be a lot of women willing to spend money for him.
"Call me Lu Lu."
Lu Yi took a sip of the coffee on the table, and politely refused: "I won't eat the meal, and I will invite Director Chen to eat next time I officially sign the contract." ”
Compared with Xiao Yi, he is more accustomed to being called Lu Lu, as for Chen Rou's burning eyes, he has no effect on him at all, Lu Yi has long been used to such eyes, and he will feel strange if he doesn't see it one day.
"Okay then."
Chen Rou's eyes dimmed, but fortunately, with Lu Yi's WeChat, there were still a lot of contact opportunities between the contract signing and supercomputer construction, and she was not very disappointed.
The mobile phone scanned the code to pay, Lu Yi and Chen Rou were at the door of the café, respectively, holding their mobile phones and chatting with the female classmates in the WeChat circle of "Yunyang Lu Lu", and turned around and walked towards the school.
Walking to the east gate, the mobile phone suddenly vibrated a few times, and Lu Yi, who was brushing his neck with a handsome bowed head, clicked on the WeChat message prompt that popped up, and his eyes suddenly showed a happy color.
"Lu Lu, I succeeded!"
"The tool key you said is sorted out!"
But it was a message from Lin Meng, who had been in retreat for more than a month to study Gechai, and she couldn't wait to send a message to Lu Yi to share her joy after completing the key to Gechai's tool.
