Chapter 143 Supercomputer Shrinkage Plan
When Zhang Lexing fell asleep with resentment towards the computer, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, outside a cafe one street away from the headquarters of the VisualSystem Group, Yang Xinxin stood at the door and looked at his watch. It was 3 minutes before the agreed time. She took advantage of the reflection of the glass at the door to tidy up her appearance, then opened the door and walked in.

As the door was pushed open, the doorbell on the door made a "jingling" sound. Yang Xinxin walked into the cafe, stood at the door and glanced around. Suddenly, a middle-aged man waving his arms in the distance caught her attention. From a distance, it seemed that he was the subject of today's meeting, so Yang Xinxin walked over to the middle-aged man.

After getting closer, Yang Xinxin recognized that the middle-aged man was Chen Shiqing. He took two steps forward and said, "Dr. Chen, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's okay," Chen Shiqing looked at his watch and said, "I'm just four minutes and 33 seconds earlier than you, and you're not late, Miss Yang, so sit down first."

Yang Xinxin pulled out the chair and sat down. At this moment, a waiter appeared just right, stood beside Yang Xinxin, and asked respectfully, "Miss, what do you need?"

"Just give me a glass of lemonade." After Yang Xinxin finished speaking, she turned to Chen Shiqing who was opposite: "Dr. Chen, do you need anything else?"

Chen Shiqing shook his head, pointed to the cup of coffee in front of him and said, "No need, this cup is enough."

Yang Xinxin waved his hand, and the waiter brought another glass of lemonade soon after he left, put it in front of Yang Xinxin, said respectfully "Miss, please take your time", then turned and left.

Yang Xinxin picked up the cup and took a sip. She was not in a hurry to speak, but Chen Shiqing couldn't help but speak first: "Miss Yang, what is the research project about supercomputers that you mentioned on the phone?"

"Dr. Chen, you may have misunderstood. In fact, that research project is not directly related to supercomputers, but it is not completely unrelated. The thing is, the performance of supercomputers is getting faster and faster, but the space they occupy is still not enough. It is small and cumbersome to use. If there are several supercomputers at the same time, it is easy to waste resources, so we are thinking whether to use ordinary computers to replace supercomputers.”

"Miss Yang, this is impossible, ordinary computers cannot replace supercomputers."

"One is definitely not enough, but what if there are a hundred, or even a thousand."

"Then how do you maintain the communication between so many computers, and how do you keep the data flowing reasonably, Miss Yang, the more computers there are, the complexity will rise in a straight line."

"We are working on solving this problem. Dr. Chen, please don't forget that our company is best at operating systems."

Chen Shiqing spread his hands and said, "Since that's the case, why do you need me? You can solve it yourself."

"The problem of collaboration between multiple ordinary computers is expected to be solved, but we have encountered a new problem. The increase in the number of ordinary computers takes up a lot of space. Someone recommended you, Dr. Chen, and he thinks that you can solve this problem.”

"Hehe, who is this? I'm researching supercomputers. It might be more reliable for you to go to IBM for the size of ordinary computers." Chen Shiqing thought it was funny after hearing this. This is simply a mess.

"The person who recommended you said that in order to reduce the size of an ordinary computer, it is necessary to increase its integration, so that its size can be reduced, and even a computer can be completely integrated on a board. Dr. Chen, you The supercomputer research and development team is very familiar with every component of the computer, and I believe there must be a good way to reduce the size of the computer."

"Reducing the computer to a single board", Chen Shiqing felt that this sentence came to his heart. Of course, as a designer, he is most aware of the disadvantages of supercomputers. He has also thought about improving the idea, but the current technology There is very little room for improvement at this level, and several attempts have been unsuccessful. As for the size of the supercomputer, he has also thought about it, and even fantasized about whether the supercomputer will be as big as an ordinary computer one day. Farther than he thought.

"Miss Yang, who is that person?" Chen Shiqing looked at Yang Xinxin and asked eagerly.

"Oh, he is Zhang Lexing, the director of the company, Dr. Chen, you..."

"Is someone else there?"

"Sorry, he's gone abroad."

Chen Shiqing shook his head and sighed, "Oh, that's such a pity."

"Dr. Chen, do you want to talk to him?"

"Yes, Miss Yang has a solution?" Chen Shiqing leaned forward, and hope rose in his heart again.

"Well," Yang Xinxin thought about it and said: "Dr. Chen, Mr. Zhang has gone to Hong Kong. If you don't mind going there, I can contact you and ask him to wait for you in Hong Kong."

"It's okay, just give me the address, and I'll take the nearest flight there." Chen Shiqing said impatiently.

"But it's night over there. If you need to contact me," Yang Xinxin looked at his watch: "I'm afraid we have to wait at least twelve hours."

"I'm really sorry, I was too impatient." Chen Shiqing smiled embarrassedly.

"Dr. Chen, why don't you stay here first? I'll contact you there as soon as possible. I'll let you know if I have any news. Do you need me to help you arrange a place to live?"

"No need, I've already looked for a place to live." Chen Shiqing shook his head, took out a pad from his arms, took out a pen and wrote something on it, then tore it off and handed it to Yang Xinxin: "Miss Yang, Here is the address and phone number of the hotel, I live in room 6302, please let me know if you have any news."

"Don't worry, I will let you know as soon as I have any news."

……

In the morning of the next day (BJ time), Zhang Lexing just woke up, and before he could go downstairs to exercise, the phone in the living room rang impatiently.

Zhang Le walked over to pick up the microphone, and as soon as he stuck it to his ear, Yang Xinxin's anxious voice came from inside: "Le Xing, don't ask so many questions, hurry up and book a ticket to Hong Kong, the fastest possible."

"Sister Xin, what's the rush?" Zhang Lexing felt a little baffled when he came here so early in the morning.

"Don't worry about it, hurry up and buy tickets first." The voice from the receiver suddenly increased, making Zhang Lexing's ears numb.

Moving the receiver away a little bit, Zhang Lexing said, "Sister Xin, it's only [-]:[-] in the morning, and the ticket sales place hasn't opened yet, so it's useless to go."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I miscalculated the time. I thought it was already eight o'clock with you, brother." Yang Xinxin's apologetic voice came from the receiver.

"Sister Xin, now you can tell what's going on."

"It's like this..." Yang Xinxin briefly recounted the conversation with Chen Shiqing on the phone: "After hearing what I said, he suddenly became very interested in you, so I asked him if he would like to come to Hong Kong Talk to you, and he agreed."

"Sister Xin, what are you talking about in Hong Kong? I'm obviously in BJ, why don't you let him come to BJ?"

"You don't understand this. I am also thinking about the future. If this research project is placed in the United States, it may encounter bad luck such as technological blockade, but it will be very different if it is placed in Hong Kong, so Chen Shiqing must be persuaded to come Hong Kong to carry out research. There is already a microelectronics research institute in Hong Kong, which has very good research conditions. For a research-oriented scholar like Chen Shiqing, the most important thing is whether there is a good research environment. This time, let him Coming to Hong Kong to talk with you is just a chance to seize the opportunity to persuade him to stay, for this goal, I have worked hard."

Unexpectedly, Yang Xinxin came up with this idea, but she was right, this research project is the most suitable place in Hong Kong, not only can enjoy the foundation laid by the Institute of Microelectronics in the early stage, the results of the research team will be stationed in Hong Kong The game console hardware R&D team also has great use value.

"Thank you, sister Xin." Zhang Lexing, who had figured it out, said gratefully.

"You don't need to be so polite, we're all from my family. Remember to buy tickets later, let me know as soon as you get them, and I'll wait for your call." After speaking, Yang Xinxin hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, Zhang Lexing went downstairs to exercise according to his usual habit, after breakfast, he went to the creative workshop with Ma Guanghai early.When I came to the company, Zhang Lexing came to the administration department just at the time of work. Chu Jing came early as usual and was tidying up her desk.

"Chu Jing, please help me buy two air tickets to Hong Kong. Brother Guanghai and I need the fastest one. I want to go to Hong Kong as soon as possible to do something."

"Okay, I'll help you get in touch right away."

Chu Jing's efficiency is always very high, and within an hour, she brought good news.

"Le Xing, the air ticket has been booked, Hong Kong Dragon Airlines, at 03:30 in the afternoon, and the time to arrive in Hong Kong is [-]:[-] in the evening. I will go and get the ticket before I get off work at noon, and I need it Anything else?"

"No, thank you, Chu Jing. You go to work first, and I'll come to you later if I need anything."

After Chu Jing left, Zhang Lexing picked up the phone and made an international long-distance call. It took a while for someone to answer the ring.

Only then came Yang Xinxin's tired voice from the receiver: "Hello, who is it?"

"Sister Xin, it's me. The ticket to Hong Kong has been booked. It's 03:30 this afternoon."

"Oh, brother, that's worked hard for you. I haven't rested much yet and I want you to run again."

"It's okay. I had a good rest last night. Besides, this matter has something to do with me. It doesn't matter if I take a trip."

"Well, I will notify Dr. Chen tomorrow, and I believe he will take the fastest flight there. Remember to call when you arrive in Hong Kong, so we can get in touch when the time comes."

"Okay, contact me when I'm in Hong Kong, thanks..."

Putting down the phone, Zhang Lexing looked at his watch. It was five past ten in the morning BJ time, and there were still five hours and 25 minutes before the plane took off, enough time for preparation.I found Li Chunlin and Chu Jing, explained the company's recent development direction (training newcomers, accumulating development strength), and then left with Ma Guanghai.Back to the residence, I packed my luggage briefly. Fortunately, Zhang Lexing didn't have many things to bring in summer, and it was more than enough to fit into a trolley suitcase.After packing up their things, Zhang Lexing and Ma Guanghai returned to the company, and Chu Jing also just brought back the two air tickets, everything was ready and the only thing left was to leave.

……

At [-]:[-] p.m., the Hong Kong Dragon Airlines flight landed at Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport. As soon as Zhang Lexing and Ma Guanghai came out of the terminal, they were warmly welcomed. * led a team to pick up the plane, this time responsible for the security work during the Hong Kong It was Andatai Security Company.In fact, according to Zhang Lexing's temperament, he doesn't like so many people around him, but what happened back then was stuck there like a thorn, which made Andatai Security Company and even the entire Dongfang Group have to be careful, and Zhang Lexing had nothing to do about it. .

All the way to the Peninsula Hotel, after dinner, * assigned the floor keys, entered the room with Zhang Lexing, Ma Guanghai, and other bodyguards began to set up a cordon outside the door according to the plan.After entering the door, Ma Guanghai moved a chair and sat down in the hallway, while Zhang Lexing and * went to the living room and sat on the sofa.

*He took out a notepad from his bag, flipped through it and said: "Boss, we have already made arrangements for what you asked for. Director Shao of Dongfang Microelectronics and Vice President Ye of the Microelectronics Research Institute have notified them, and they have also made arrangements." We are ready for the reception. Two other assistants will come over tomorrow, and the three of us will assist the boss in handling the official business during our stay in Hong Kong. Boss, if you need anything, you can always find me.”

After finishing speaking*, he closed the notepad, looked over, Zhang Lexing nodded, and said: "Well, very good, you go to rest first, I'll call you if something happens."

* stood up, bowed slightly: "Boss, I'll go first." After speaking, she turned and walked out.Before going out, * turned around and glanced at Zhang Lexing who came to the window to enjoy the night view, a look of disappointment flashed across his face, then she walked through the courtyard and disappeared outside the gate.

After the footsteps disappeared, Zhang Lexing returned to the sofa, picked up the phone and made an international call...

On the second day, Zhang Lexing first came to Orient Holdings for a short meeting. The main topic was to enhance the role of the Beijing office. After discussion, it was decided that in addition to adding a part of the staff, four people including * would also be dispatched. Assistant, in charge of collecting and sorting out the information of various industries under the company, and responsible for Zhang Lexing's work schedule.

After the meeting, Zhang Lexing had some fun under the leadership of *, and didn't rush to Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport until five o'clock in the afternoon. Dr. Chen's flight was about to arrive.

Unlucky, the plane was delayed. It was not until almost seven o'clock that the news that Dr. Chen's United Airlines flight UA869 landed finally came. After waiting for more than 20 minutes, a person holding a pick-up sign A middle-aged man appeared in front of the assistant.

Then the street lights turned on, Zhang Lexing looked at it, and it seemed that he was somewhat similar to the person he saw back then, so he stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, is this Dr. Chen Shiqing?"

Hearing someone talking, the middle-aged man turned around and replied, "Exactly, are you?"

"Dr. Chen, welcome to Hong Kong," Zhang Lexing smiled, stretched out his hand to Dr. Chen, and said, "I am Zhang Lexing."
