Top of the big era

HPC is a computer cluster, which means there may be dozens or hundreds of mainframes working together to improve computing power. The more chassis there are, the more chips are installed and the more powerful the computing power is.

So generally speaking, HPC is different from PC.

PCs of the same model are all the same. HPC is very expensive, and different configurations need to be built according to different scenarios, even for the same model.

For example, if an HPC is deployed for the capital police, more cases will be processed, more computing power will be required, and the configuration will need to be higher. In remote provinces, there is no need to have too high a configuration and there is no need to waste it.

Currently, a large number of departments in China deploy HPC, mainly meteorological bureaus and survey bureaus, for predicting weather trends and mineral surveying. For example, the HPC purchased by Daqing Oilfield from IBM is currently the best set of equipment in the country.

There is no need for the police to deploy too high configurations. After some research and understanding, they found that Lenovo's products are enough to cope with the situation and can also complete a large number of orders in a short period of time.

Even Shen Xiangyang believes that the HPC donated to the Hong Kong Multimedia Laboratory can also be purchased from Lenovo.

Ziweixing now has two sets of HPC.

One set is a large-scale HPC. It cost 15 million US dollars to purchase HP products. It is deployed at the Ziweixing headquarters and mainly supplies Ziweixing Research Institute, Academy of Engineering, cloud computing research and big data research.

One set is a small HPC, which is a Shenteng 6800 purchased from Lenovo and deployed in Hangzhou. It is used by Ziweixing Hangcheng Research Institute to perform calculation processing for the speech recognition and artificial intelligence assistant Rokid they are researching.

The Hong Kong Multimedia Laboratory is about the same size as the Hangzhou Research Institute, and Shenteng 6800 is enough.

This January, Zhou Buqi is very busy and has to deal with a lot of things, so I will take the lead with Lenovo. It will be fine if the experts say it is OK. Next, he will attend Ziweixing's financial audit meeting.

In addition to the split of shares, the split of Ziweixing also includes the split of cash flow.

This is particularly critical.

Currently, Ziweixing has available cash flow of 2.4 billion yuan and US$5.08 billion in foreign exchange on its books. This money must be allocated well. Whether it is egalitarianism or betting on one thing requires discussion.

The consensus is to bet one way and stay on the domestic business as much as possible.

Whether overseas business can be launched is still unknown. If too much money is allocated to overseas business, if it fails, the loss will be too great.

In contrast, the domestic business has developed steadily and various businesses are booming. It is safer and more reliable to keep the money in the books of the domestic business.

As for overseas business... it really doesn't work. After the split, Ziweixing International Group can go to the market to raise funds. Even if it fails in the future, the money lost will still be investors’ money, so don’t feel bad.

But the problem is, with the current economic situation, how can financing be so easy?

Even if financing can be obtained, the price will be severely reduced, which is not cost-effective.

Especially those foreign exchanges were all earned from the U.S. real estate market, and they are still held in U.S. bank accounts. Such a large amount of money was transferred back to China... This was a bit ugly, and Zhou Buqi felt too stressed.

When doing business at this level, you should not only consider issues from a business perspective, but also pay attention to all aspects of political trends. This is true at home and abroad.

Don't be too hasty and put this matter on hold for now.

The split is very complicated and requires a lot of audit work, especially good communication with investors to reach a consensus among all parties.

In comparison, the entertainment industry is still simple.

Go to Jieyu Media for a board meeting.

Xu Baihui was in high spirits.

In the past year, Jieyu Media’s business profit exceeded 800 million yuan! Among them, four variety shows, "Running Man", "The Voice", "Job Master" and "If You Are the One", created a profit of 640 million yuan.

Now "The Voice of China 2" will be broadcast after the Spring Festival, and "The Voice of Japan" has aired its first episode in Japan, directly setting a ratings record in the history of Japanese television!

On the day it aired, 63% of the national TV audience watched this TV show.

Many viewers find it incredible.

Such an exquisite and high-end program is actually broadcast on a free channel... let alone free, just look at the four celebrity mentors Hamasaki Ayumi, Kamui Rakuto, Amuro Namie, and Inoue Yosui. Even if it is a paid channel, It will also be very popular to watch.

The American and British versions of "The Voice" are still in production and are expected to be broadcast in the fall. "The Voice of China 2" will be broadcast simultaneously in mainland China and Hong Kong Island.

Jieyu Media’s variety shows have quietly opened up the international market.

From this point alone, Jieyu Media is already ahead of Huayi.

However, what Huayi is most concerned about now is not business operations, but capital operations. This year's listing plan has been approved, and many materials have been reviewed. We are just waiting to pick a suitable time for the IPO.

On Huayi's board of directors, the most important topic is the choice of listing time.

Zhou Buqi suggested waiting until the fall, when Wall Street is on vacation. Every year at the turn of summer and autumn, Wall Street takes a break, and unless there are special circumstances, U.S. stock IPOs will be suspended.

Many people who were waiting for new funds had no chance to invest in the United States during those two months.

At this time, if Huayi is listed in China, it will have the opportunity to obtain more new funds, thereby raising the stock price and becoming a star stock in the IPO.

The Wang brothers will definitely respect his opinion.

Next, there is the "Old Revolutionary Film and Television Base" that Zhou Buqi single-handedly promoted in order to benefit his hometown.

This winter, the project has already been stopped.

But there is no other way. We have to go through the formalities and complete the process.

When the film and television base was started, Zhou Buqi was abroad, so the launching ceremony was delayed.

However, it is not easy to obtain private investment in some large projects in Northeast China. A grand launch ceremony must be held to publicize the matter with great fanfare.

It is both a political achievement and a confidence in the market.

Investors in this project include Taizun Real Estate, Wanda Real Estate, Jieyu Media, Giant Investment, Hengdian Group, and Legend Holdings, all of which are well-known domestic private enterprises.

What an honor it is for these big companies to invest in Northeast China?

We must focus on publicity!

With the new year and new atmosphere, for leaders at all levels in the provinces and municipalities, this is the biggest investment project at the beginning of this year. They must attach great importance to it and provide all-round services.

Although Zhou Buqi feels that formalism is serious, he still has to accept it. He invested in this film and television base to benefit his hometown. If this form can attract more companies to invest, that would also be a good thing.

Huayi said it would fully support the launch of the "Old Revolutionary Film and Television Base" and would bring a group of celebrities to attend the launch ceremony to highlight the scene.

Zhou Buqi took the first step and took Han Yan and Chen Yan back to the Northeast.

On the plane, Zhou Buqi was holding Teacher Han's shoulder on his left side, and holding Teacher Chen in his arms on his right side, and asked, "What do you two think? What do you think about the future?"

Han Yan shook her head gently, "I don't know."

Chen Yan was very determined and whispered: "Master, I want to follow you and be your little wife."

"It's not good. Only virgins can be concubines with me." Zhou Buqi was a little embarrassed, "Even if you taught me before, you can't break the rules, otherwise it will be unfair to others."

"Where's Ning Yaxian? She's pregnant."

"She can enter my house because of her sister. Yameng is a yellow girl, she is mine, and her sister can follow me."

"Then I..." Chen Yan has been with him for so long and no longer wants to go back to live an ordinary life. "Master, I don't want to leave you, so just accept me."

Zhou Buqi said: "Do you have a sister or something? I will leave a place for you."

"Ah?" Chen Yan was stunned, "No, no, I only have two brothers. The eldest brother is almost fifty."

Zhou Buqi comforted her with a smile, "Don't worry, if you are willing to follow me, how can I abandon you? You can just raise me as an outsider... Well, by the way, I can give you an identity."

"What identity?"

"Teacher, this is your job."

"What's your job?"

Zhou Buqi coughed and hugged Han Yan, "Teacher Han, listen too. You two have also seen that there are quite a few women around me. Wen Zhixia and Shi Jinglin are okay, but they are not." Some little secretaries, starlets, etc. need more guidance on women’s ethics. Nowadays, women’s ethics courses are very popular in society, and there are many teachers teaching this. You two should also study it, learn more, and summarize a set of lessons. Theory and then give them lessons.”

Han Yan pursed her lips and glared at him, "Making nonsense again."

Zhou Buqi said seriously: "Who is fooling around? This is business! If we don't educate them well, don't cultivate correct values, and are full of love nihilism and monogamous idealism, how can this family develop stably?"

Han Yan felt dizzy.

I feel that in front of this little man, I am a bit confused about right and wrong. What is right? what is wrong? Is it true that no matter what the background or the facts are, as long as you look at the issue from his standpoint, it will always be right?

This is too chauvinistic.

Chen Yan said seriously: "Whatever the master says is what it is. I no longer teach in middle schools. I quit my job to be a teacher of this kind of female virtue. I will do some research and sign up for a few classes to learn from it."

"Well, that's right." Zhou Buqi nodded, "Teacher Han, if you ask me, you should also join Teacher Chen. After you complete your studies, you will hold classes specifically for female artists from Jieyu Media. They are reasonable and should not be infected by the big dye vat in the entertainment industry. Look at the photo scandal in Hong Kong and Taiwan last year. How serious was it? So many popular Hong Kong and Taiwan female stars were all ruined in one fell swoop. In the future, the Internet will become more and more If you are developed, you are not clean and can be easily discovered. You should still keep yourself clean."

Although Han Yan was obedient, she was not as attached to him as a kitten from the bottom of her heart like Chen Yan. She said jokingly: "Female celebrities have already kept themselves clean. Where are you going to play?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Special circumstances, special treatment."

Teacher Han Yan was completely crazy, "How could I teach a student like you?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Good luck."

Chen Yan said softly: "Well, good luck."
