Chapter 141 Yang Xinxin's Future Plan

The conversation was still going on, but Zhang Lexing kept looking at the bookcase on the right, apparently absent-minded.

Yang Xinxin shook Zhang Lexing's eyes with her hand: "Hey, please concentrate."

"Ah," Zhang Lexing smiled embarrassedly: "Sister Xin, I..."

"I know, you have taken a fancy to my pile of drawings, right?"

"Hehe, didn't I want to refer to it, who made your park planning so good."

"Brother, you don't mean to take that pile of blueprints back to read directly, do you?"

"Sister Xin, are you reluctant?"

"Cut, how is that possible. But it's not a good idea for you to take the drawings back. Instead of doing this, I might as well introduce you to the design firm. At that time, how do you want to design? Some professionals will do it for you, which will save you a lot of trouble." gone."

Zhang Lexing thought about it, and it was true, but a new problem came up: "But what should I do if I haven't found a suitable place yet."

"It's easy to handle. I'll contact you when you find a place. I believe that for such a big business, the people in the firm won't mind traveling a little longer."

"Sister Xin, thank you, you have really helped me a lot these years!"

"Forget it, who told you to be my younger brother? If I don't help you, you have helped me a lot." Yang Xinxin shrugged and said, "By the way, how is your domestic business doing?" That’s it, tell me and ask my sister to help you as a staff officer.”

In particular, Zhang Lexing also has this intention. After all, purely from the perspective of business management, the gap between himself and Yang Xinxin may be as far as a light-year. It is because of the advantage of vision, otherwise he would not be able to play it.Now that Yang Xinxin took the initiative to bring it up, Zhang Lexing also happily explained the situation one by one.

"After going back in March... the general situation is like this. Sister Xin, come and help me analyze it."

Yang Xinxin pondered for a while, and said, "Brother, the Zhao Haiguang you mentioned should not be simple. The family obviously has some background, otherwise the video game branch would not be so easy to become the China Game Industry Association. There is a chance You should investigate him more, if this person is reliable, I believe it will be of great help to you in developing the game industry in China..."

Zhang Lexing nodded. He also felt the same way. Zhao Haiguang's background is not simple. In addition, Zhao Haiguang's speech and behavior are like a real game player, so he worked so hard to help Zhao Haiguang with ideas. This time I was right.

Yang Xinxin continued: "I can only play some small games, and I don't know how to deal with the game industry, but from the perspective of company management, the companies you run are too scattered. Maybe you have noticed, so Dongfang Holdings has set up an office in BJ with a few staff members, intending to maintain contact with its subsidiaries. But I found that the so-called office does not play a big role, and many things still need to be done by yourself. If this doesn’t work, you should arrange a few assistants by your side. If there is anything you can ask the assistants to do, you can ask the assistants to contact you if you need to contact them. After all, your industry is too widely distributed. There are only a few places in the country. Do everything by yourself. Your game company arranges a general manager as soon as possible, so that you can get away from specific company management. If you like game design, do it when you have time, but more energy should be put on In terms of the overall situation, such as the operation of the industrial environment, such as the strategic development direction of the entire company, you must devote your limited time to more valuable things, so that your industrial development will be more efficient, and you must make the best use of everything. , so that the development can be more sustainable..."

Yang Xinxin's opinion is very pertinent. Some time ago, there were indeed problems of one kind or another. Zhang Lexing also felt that he was too busy sometimes. It seems that the Beijing office needs to be adjusted a little bit, and there is still hope that the one chosen by Chu Jing Li Chunlin can be relied on, otherwise he would have to parachute one from Dongfang Holdings.

"...There is also something called a mobile phone in this world, and it is much smaller than before. It is time for you to get one. Otherwise, sometimes it is not easy to find you. If you really don't want to take it yourself , just ask your assistant to help."

"Sister Xin, what kind of mobile phone do you need? After our communication satellite is launched into the sky, we will each have a satellite phone, and we can make calls wherever we want. It would be more convenient." Zhang Lexing joked that the satellite phone If a mobile phone is to be practical, it must at least have a satellite network like "Iridium", not just three.

"You can just talk nonsense, return the satellite phone, it's still a thing of the past, be serious."

"Sister Xin, just kidding, don't be so serious."

"There is another thing. Since you have taken a fancy to my blueprint just now, you should plan to build several parks. In this way, you can concentrate the industries in one place and settle them all in the park. This will make management much more convenient. , it will be much more convenient for companies to collaborate, and even the cost of communication will be much lower.”

"After reading the planning drawings of the San Jose park, I also have similar considerations. I plan to build a park in BJ first, such as Rising Sun Software, Le Yiyang, Tianzhiyuan, and Creative Workshop, etc. can settle in." Zhang Lexing was extremely regretful. Said: "Oh, it's a pity that there is no way to get a supercomputer in the core area. That thing is actually very useful in the research field."

"No way, don't talk about supercomputers, even SGI workstations are not easy. But you can consider Hong Kong, maybe there is still hope." Yang Xinxin thought about it and gave a solution.

"I can only try it, and I don't know if it will work. If it's really uncertain, then I can only wait for the satellite to go to the sky. At worst, I will log in remotely to use it."

"Brother, this is also a solution. Anyway, the three parks will always find free time."

"Sister Xin, listening to what you said, I think of a problem. In the future, the three parks will probably have their own supercomputers, and there will definitely be a situation of uneven busyness. I remember that there is a parallel computing research in the research institute. In addition, there are research projects on distributed systems. If the hatchback can be combined, a special operating system can be run on the supercomputer. When one supercomputer is busy and the other is idle, the load will be transferred automatically. In the past, this allowed us to take full advantage of the performance of supercomputers, and it was easier to use."

"Brother. According to what you say, aren't these supercomputers equivalent to a whole?"

"Yes, as a whole, higher computing power can be achieved, but judging from the performance of supercomputers, it is estimated that the network will become a bottleneck."

"Brother, can an ordinary computer do it?"

"In theory, any computer can be used. In fact, it is realized through the operating system. As long as the computer runs this special operating system, it can become a whole."

Yang Xinxin blinked her eyes and said, "In this case, what kind of supercomputer should I build? It takes up a lot of space and is troublesome to use. Why don't I build a bunch of servers, connect them through the network, and run the kind of computer you mentioned?" The operating system may run faster than supercomputing."

"That's true, it's just that the current network speed is easy to slow down."

"This is easy," Yang Xinxin waved her hand, and said, "The big deal is to find someone to design a dedicated network. I don't believe that the speed can't be improved."

Unexpectedly, after a few words, Yang Xinxin ticked "cloud computing". Seeing her enthusiasm, she might have to toss it out in advance, but anyway, it is in the hands of her family, and maybe it can be the same in Hong Kong and mainland China It’s not for supercomputers, and SGI workstations are not good. You can’t even sell Pentiums. If it’s really not good, it’s a big deal to use MIPSR-3000A. Although it’s a processor for game consoles, more performance can always be improved. Yes, Zhang Lexing couldn't help laughing at the thought of having the opportunity to master the computing power similar to that of a supercomputer.

When it came to this level, Yang Xinxin couldn't sit still anymore, so she dragged Zhang Lexing to the research institute.This trip was not in vain, the project team that researched parallel computing really came up with something, a parallel computing system composed of seven computers with Pentium 75 processors, one of which is used as input and output, and the other six are responsible for The background calculation and data exchange use a special switching network made by the project team. The overall performance cannot reach the sum of seven units due to some reasons, but it has also reached the computing power of nearly five units. At least Yang Xinxin is very satisfied and announced on the spot The project team was rewarded, and it was also stated that it would tilt the research and development funds, requiring the project team to make persistent efforts to further improve this technology.

Leaving the parallel computing project team and coming outside the research institute, Yang Xinxin shook her head and sighed: "Unfortunately, those computers take up too much space. If we want to achieve the performance of our current two supercomputers, we need only I'm afraid it will be bigger, this is really troublesome."

"Sister Xin, don't worry about this. You also know that computers are developing very fast. Maybe a better computer will come out in two years, but there will naturally be fewer places in need. If you If you are really worried, there is another way to contact Chen Shiqing's team. Since they are researching supercomputers, they may have good suggestions. Actually, I have an idea, but I don't know if it can be realized. If the integration can be improved , to compress the volume of a computer, even to the size of a board, so that the occupied area will definitely be much smaller." Zhang Lexing said that it is actually a 1U server (19-inch 1U rack-type server, the height is about 44.45 mm) and a blade server (like a board), of course, there is no such concept these days.

Yang Xinxin nodded: "Brother, what you said seems to make sense. I will contact Chen Shiqing's team and hope they can make it, so that it will not be so troublesome to use a supercomputer in the future."

……

After the conversation ended, Yang Xinxin contacted Chen Shiqing as expected, and agreed to meet and discuss in detail a week later. Zhang Lexing originally wanted to talk to Chen Shiqing, but unfortunately he was going back to China before that day, so he had no choice but to give up. Anyway, Yang Xinxin can definitely handle it well.In the following days, Zhang Lexing did not rest. Perhaps it was the content of the conversation that day that interested Yang Xinxin. As long as she saw Zhang Lexing, she could always transfer to work without three sentences. It was the same at times, and Zhang Lexing was required to express his opinions, and he couldn't deal with it casually. Fortunately, Zhang Lexing had already moved out, otherwise he would be doomed even at night.

Zhang Lexing also tried to beg for mercy, but Yang Xinxin responded with one sentence: "Brother, you are the boss of the company, think about how long you have been back throughout the year, right now, and you will be leaving again in a few days, isn't it? You can't take more responsibility."

Zhang Lexing was ashamed of what he said, and he no longer dared to object to Yang Xinxin's torture. Under her constant pressure, he finally had to reveal a little bit in advance, such as web mail, search engines and instant messaging, which will be popular in the future. application.The ending was different from Zhang Lexing's idea. The information revealed by Twinkling did not free him. Instead, Yang Xinxin held an urgent technical seminar and asked Zhang Lexing to explain these Internet applications in detail.

Zhang Lexing had to start from the separate applications of Web mail, search engines and instant messaging (only a conceptual brief talk), such as how mail servers are connected to Web pages, how search engines classify pages, and how instant messaging software is. How to work, etc., and then it mainly introduces how to set up the profit model of Web mail, search engine and instant communication through user classification, advertisement and value-added services.After Zhang Lexing's explanation, the participants were deeply attracted by this "far-sighted" introduction and extremely "creative" ideas. Zhang Lexing's blurred figure due to his long-term fading out of company management grew taller in their hearts again.With Zhang Lexing leading the way, other participants also expressed their opinions and put forward quite a few pertinent suggestions. Yang Xinxin is undoubtedly the most satisfied with this result, and her future plans can be further improved because of this.

……

After selection after the meeting, of course, mainly based on Zhang Lexing's opinion, Yang Xinxin listed Web mail, search engine and instant messaging software as the company's next development projects, and the company's research institute will carry out corresponding technology research and development, among which the search engine will be It will not use directory indexing like the newly popular Yahoo, but plans to use full-text indexing, crawl pages through crawlers (Crawler), automatically build a page database, and search results directly from its own database, which is actually The future of Google's model.

A few days later, it was time to leave the United States. When Zhang Lexing's flight landed smoothly at BJ International Airport, on the other side of the ocean, Chen Shiqing's red-eye flight happened to take off...
