"Hello Dong Xu, I am going to fly to Jiangning today. Are you free during this time?" As expected by Xu Zhenming, Professor Long made an appointment with Xu Zhenming on the phone and wanted to meet Xu Zhenming personally and talk about it. The Galaxy IV project.

For such a well-defined project, Xu Zhenming will of course take time to discuss with Professor Long.As a result, at about 4:30 in the afternoon, he and Professor Long were already seated in the meeting room on the 8th floor of Yiming Group.

There are two themes of today's meeting. One is the issue of authorized mass production and sales of the Galaxy III supercomputer; the other is the issue of the joint development of the Galaxy IV project.Therefore, although this meeting is not formal, Xu Zhenming still let Zhou Jiawei and the "Dawn" CPU team participate together.

"Haha... I heard that Dong Xu has found a large number of orders for our Galaxy III project. It is gratifying." After everyone's greetings, Professor Long's assistant grinned and thanked Xu Zhen.From the tone of his speech, the Computer Research Institute of the National Defense University seems unwilling to authorize Yiming Group to produce the Galaxy III supercomputer.

This is the case for state-owned enterprises. When there are difficulties, everyone hides behind them. When there is credit, everyone wants to squeeze into the honorable team.Sometimes there is no way. Everyone wants to add points to honors such as assessing professional titles, assessing labor models, and assessing advanced individuals. It is not easy to get a chance to be named.

But the Galaxy III supercomputer project is different. The core CPU technology, GPU technology, server hard disk technology, operating system technology, big data system technology, etc. are all mastered by Yiming Group.

And the Computer Research Institute of National Defense University is a complete assembly factory. Like the thinking computer, which is known as a national brand, the proportion of technology in the entire project is not large. Why do they regret it?

Thinking of these questions, Xu Zhenming looked at Professor Long in surprise, his eyes full of inquiries.

At this time, Professor Long, who usually doesn't smoke very much, was holding a cigarette at this time, with blue smoke covering his face.Professor Long's expression was serious, he took a puff and put the cigarette on the ashtray.

"Xu Dong, after discussion by the committee of our institute, the institute believes that it is more appropriate for us to produce the Galaxy III. You know, now that the economy is in charge, our institute also has revenue-generating tasks. So..."

Professor Long looked at Xu Zhenming with a wry smile, spitting out bitter water in embarrassment.

"Yes, Xu Dong, our organization has exceeded the standard, and the Yuelu data center under maintenance is another money-losing business. The pressure on the secretary and director is particularly high."

"There is also greater pressure from our principal. It is said that this year's project research funds are running out and there is no funding to support us in the Galaxy IV project."

"Xu Dong, our team is very difficult now, we have to raise funds for the Galaxy IV project."

As Professor Long's voice fell, the other team members all spoke, screaming about difficulties.

Judging from the expressions on these people's faces, it seems that they are not lying, and there are indeed many difficulties.But Zhou Jiawei's team members did not buy it.

"Professor Long, since you are so difficult, you should license the Galaxy III supercomputer to us. You can get a patent license fee of 50 million yuan for a single authorization. Isn't the Galaxy IV project funded?"

"Liu Gong's analysis is very reasonable. This way of authorizing production is the easiest way to make money. You don't need to bear after-sales service, and there is no subsequent expense."

"Professor Gong, if you produce the Galaxy III supercomputer yourself, you have to go through many links such as equipment assembly, debugging, payment collection, transportation, after-sales service, etc., can your manpower keep up?"

Zhou Jiawei and others are very skeptical about the execution ability of Professor Long's team and believe that they are not sufficiently staffed to ensure the safe execution of orders placed by Yiming Group.

"We can entrust the order to Longteng Company or Blue Nest Computer Company to execute. It is not possible, we can also entrust it to Think Computer Company. So, Director Zhou, you don't have to worry about whether we can complete the order for the Galaxy III supercomputer. problem."

At this time, Professor Long's deputy, Professor Gong, replied to Zhou Jiawei and others unhappy.At this moment, his face was flushed.

In other words, their Computer Research Institute is not going to produce Galaxy III in person, but let domestic computer manufacturers go to OEM.This kind of thinking is no different from Yiming Group, but it can keep most of the profits for itself.

Seeing Professor Gong's anxious appearance, Xu Zhenming has already figured it out, "This may also be Professor Long's own meaning. Professor Long wants to let the leaders of the Longbow Group see the value of his team, so that he can further fund the project!"

In this case, Xu Zhenming believes that it does not matter if it is not authorized to produce. Yiming Group Company earns a lot of the money it should earn.

Yiming Group has already paid a lot for the National Project Galaxy III supercomputer last time.This time, the mass production of the Galaxy III CPU must not be reduced in price, and the previous research and development expenses should be shared equally.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhenming smiled and nodded, "Professor Gong makes sense. Regarding the order for the Galaxy III project, we agree with your opinion. After this meeting, we can sign a bulk purchase contract."

"Xu Dong, I heard that the order for this Galaxy III supercomputer is relatively large. Can you lower the price of the Galaxy III CPU?" Seeing Xu Zhenming's good speech, Professor Gong pushed the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose excitedly.

In his view, according to Moore's Law, Yiming Group's supply of Galaxy III's CPU, co-processing, GPU, server hard disk sequence, operating system and other software and hardware should be reduced by about 15%.

"Price reduction is impossible! Your batch is still too small to meet the price reduction standard." At this time, the head of the "Dawn" CPU design team immediately responded with a serious expression.

"Um? Can't the price be reduced with such a large purchase?" Professor Long looked at Xu Zhenming in surprise, wanting to hear accurate information from Xu Zhenming's mouth.

At this time, Xu Zhenming didn't speak, just smiled and nodded.

"The Galaxy IV is probably a swan song. After finishing this project, we are going to build our own supercomputer!" At the same time, he thought.After this dialogue and communication, Xu Zhenming finally understood the reason for the decline of the Milky Way.

"Oh... if you don't lower the price, don't lower the price. Xu Dong, let's talk about the Galaxy IV project." Seeing Xu Zhenming has made it clear that he will not reduce the price, Professor Long smiled very embarrassedly, and immediately changed the topic to shift everyone’s attention Go to the Galaxy IV project.

"Professor Long, we have determined the codename of Galaxy IV's CPU as'Dawn' CPU. How many main cores do you plan to stack?" Zhou Jiawei was very dissatisfied with today's meeting, and then proceeded directly to the topic with Professor Long's words.
