Chapter 819 Purchasing a Supercomputer

"Okay, then you will pick me up at the airport with me tomorrow, and then we will negotiate with each other."

"Well, when you come back from get off work, explain the situation to me well, so that I can know what's going on."

"No problem, let's talk about it after I get off work."

When Karina said this, she changed the subject: "I have a question to ask you, why didn't you let me contact Halliburton?"

Niu Xiaoqiang told Kailina in advance to avoid Halliburton when selling patents.Kailinna asked the reason at the time, but Niu Xiaoqiang didn't answer her.

Hearing Kailina raise this question again at this moment, Niu Xiaoqiang hesitated for a moment and told the actual situation. He finally concluded: "The Halliburton family has a big business. If we went to the door from the beginning, they probably wouldn't bother to talk to us." , It’s better for us to promote the oil extraction machine first, let them see the actual situation and then come to us, at that time, we can take the absolute initiative and help our domestic partners get back the market.”

Kailinna snorted: "So that's the case. Since this is the case, I won't say anything more. You are busy first. I will continue to promote the patented technology."

After Kailinna hung up the phone, she continued to sell, but the results were not very good, and she was busy until she got off work, but she couldn't find a second company with cooperation intentions.

After returning home, Kailinna first explained the situation to Niu Xiaoqiang, and then she gently rubbed her throat while drinking water: "I've been making calls all day, and my voice is almost hoarse, Xiaoqiang, didn't you say Have you ever wanted to recruit workers? When are you going to start implementing it?"

Niu Xiaoqiang plans to recruit some foreign students to the Hunter Company for work-study programs, so that he can save a lot of salary expenses.

He had been to school yesterday, and he had already made an agreement with Chen Dongsheng, Xu Bin and Fan Hongsheng.The three of them will go to Hunter's company to help with telemarketing when there is no class.

In addition to these three 83-year-old students, Niu Xiaoqiang also asked them to help find other Chinese students. If anyone wants to go to Hunter Company for a work-study program, they can first come to Niu Xiaoqiang for an interview.After passing the interview, you can get the job.

The main purpose of the interview is to examine the English proficiency of these compatriots. If they can't even speak English well, how can they engage in telemarketing?

Niu Xiaoqiang provided a total of ten work-study opportunities on a first-come, first-served basis.As for the salary, after some consideration, he finally proposed a basic salary plus commission.

Each international student earns a base salary of $32 an hour, and can earn $[-] if he works eight hours a day.Of course, everyone usually has to go to class, and can only spare half a day to work every day. Even so, the wages they earn are enough to support living expenses.

This is just a basic salary, if you get a business, you can get a commission.

If the value of the order you pull exceeds $20, you can get a commission of $[-]; if the value of the order you pull exceeds $[-], you can get a bonus of $[-], and so on. $[-] cap.

Niu Xiaoqiang introduced the job recruitment with a smile, and Kailina nodded slightly after listening: "That's good, otherwise I really can't stand it alone, and it is estimated that within three days, my voice will be completely hoarse , I can’t even speak.”

Niu Xiaoqiang said with concern: "You are the president after all, there is no need to do it yourself in the future, if it is really necessary, it would be better for you to come forward."

Karina shook her head: "I just caused so much trouble to the company, how can I not work harder? You don't need to persuade me, I will take care of it myself."

Niu Xiaoqiang knew that Kailinna was stronger, and it was useless to say more, so he changed the subject: "The 300 million US dollars is being processed, and it is estimated that it will be transferred to the Hunter Company's account within a week. Don't forget to put The money should be paid to Lyme, otherwise we will have to pay liquidated damages."

Kailinna hummed: "Don't worry, I will follow up on this matter myself, and there will be no delay."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "Sit down and rest first, I'll go to the kitchen to make dinner."

Kailinna stood up immediately: "I just have a sore throat and I'm not very tired. Let's cook together."

Kailinna has been learning cooking skills from Niu Xiaoqiang recently, and now she has achieved a small amount of success, and the meals she cooks are not only delicious, but also passable.

Seeing her insistence, Niu Xiaoqiang nodded in agreement.

After dinner, Niu Xiaoqiang took out a book on computer hardware and began to study computer hardware technology.

Kailinna was very curious about this, and couldn't help asking: "Isn't your main focus on software technology? Why are you reading this kind of book?"

Niu Xiaoqiang explained: "Your father wants to purchase a supercomputer to serve artificial intelligence projects. I took over this business and plan to purchase parts and assemble it myself, so that I can earn money."

According to Professor Watson, he wanted to provide the robot with a database of learning knowledge. The supercomputer purchased was mainly used to store files, and also provided calculation tasks for the robot.

Since there is only one robot for this project for the time being, this supercomputer does not need to be very powerful and belongs to the category of small supercomputers.

Even small supercomputers are expensive.There are several small supercomputers in the warehouse of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Computer Science, each with a purchase price of $380 million.

Niu Xiaoqiang feels that the price is a bit inflated. If he buys spare parts and assembles it himself, he can get a profit rate of more than 30.00% at least.In order to make this business, he must of course have a detailed understanding of computer hardware.

Kailinna had already learned about Niu Xiaoqiang's making money through artificial intelligence projects, so she was not very surprised when she heard that Niu Xiaoqiang took over the supercomputer purchase business. What really surprised her was this project Progress.

She stared wide-eyed: "This project actually needs supercomputer support? Isn't the progress a little too fast?"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and said, "Is this still fast? Your dad still thinks it's slow."

After a moment of silence, Kailinna said: "When I was at home, I never heard my dad say that he wanted to study artificial intelligence. When he went to China to pick you up, he immediately had a plan to study artificial intelligence, and The plan was implemented immediately, which is obviously abnormal, Xiaoqiang, you should know the reason for this, can you tell me about it?"

　Thank you book friend "tanmin2" for your support, bow!
