Eating refreshments and drinking new tea, Toni's father and mother looked very happy.
Toni's father was also born in the Xia Science Academy, and Chen Mengchuan's father was taught by him in his early years. He was a student who impressed him deeply. Although he was only 3 years younger, in China at that time, knowledge was power, and being able to teach was a very glorious and great thing.
After some conversation, Father Chen decided to have hot pot at home at noon. He dug out the homemade old Beijing hot pot steamer and Mother Chen happily started to prepare it. Toni and the three of them left the house and went to the door to pick up people.
Not long after, a taxi stopped at the door, and two Chinese people got out of the car. Toni happily stepped forward and hugged the two.
"Let me introduce you briefly. This is the chairman of Tenzhi Technology, Mengchuan, and this is Xiaoxiao, another shareholder of Tianzhi. These two are my friends when I was at Oracle. They are both from China. This is Lin Xinze, and this is Yu Qinghong." Toni introduced happily.
Lin Xinze has a big-headed, tall, thin, eyed otaku image, while Yu Qinghong is the opposite, short in stature, but very strong and dark-skinned. At first glance, he looks like a very ordinary migrant worker brother.
"Nice to meet you, Mengchuan, I heard Toni say that many times." Lin Xinze and Yu Qinghong smiled and stepped forward to shake hands one by one.
"Let's go, I'll take you to eat authentic old Beijing hot pot today." Toni smiled and greeted everyone into the room.
"We flew 4,000 kilometers from California, and you treat us to old Beijing hot pot?" Lin Xinze scolded with a smile.
"Xiao Linzi, it seems that you are not very willing to eat." Mother Chen's scolding came from the room.
"Aunt Xia, look at my mouth..."
After a conversation, Toni and Chen Mengchuan introduced Lin Xinze and Yu Qinghong in more depth.
The 31-year-old Lin Xinze is now the core engineer of the Oracle Linux Enterprise Department of Oracle Company, and is an all-round system engineer who can already act alone.
Just after Toni introduced him, Gu Xiaoxiao immediately became excited, and then threw out several system problems with the init root program in an instant, which directly embarrassed the scene.
But soon Toni pushed up his glasses, ignored all the questions Gu Xiaoxiao asked, and introduced Yu Qinghong.
The 33-year-old Yu Qinghong works as a senior data engineer at Oracle company Oracle Database Headquarters, and is a top computer master at the same level as Lin Xinze.
After the four people communicated more, Toni told the two of them the purpose of coming to the United States this time.
"Hiss~10 billion US Dollar to build a supercomputer?" The two of them were stunned at the same time.
Chen Mengchuan nodded with a smile, "We have many large-scale projects planned in the future. The current supercomputers can no longer support our better work, so we need better and more powerful supercomputers."
"But... this 10 billion US Dollar is too exaggerated." Lin Xinze's head was as loud as a rattle.
"Did you find IBM this time?" Yu Qinghong asked.
Toni nodded. "This time IBM and Intel are joining forces. For them, the cake is too big. For us, many political risks in the United States must be transferred separately. It is more beneficial for us to cooperate with the two companies."
Lin Xinze, who was still shaking his head, sighed, "As far as I know, the total cost of Summit is less than 300 million US Dollar from head to toe. You 10 billion US Dollar... I can't imagine what kind of terrible supercomputer you are going to make. 200 petaflops of floating point operations per second? Or 500 petaflops of floating point operations per second? I really can't imagine it."
Chen Mengchuan smiled, "We need IBM to provide us with a specific plan, and they claim that they already have a good plan, which is very suitable for us. We all believe in Toni, and Toni seems to believe in you. If you are interested, we are willing to cooperate with you two to change the world."
"Change the world..." Both of them were deeply attracted by Chen Mengchuan's simple words. After all, Chen Mengchuan, who is sitting in front of them now, is the largest shareholder of Tenzhi Technology and the real owner of wireless streaming technology, a person who is really changing the world!
Seeing that neither of them answered immediately, Toni slowly said, "This matter is not urgent, and you don't need to rush to reply to us."
"I'll join!" Lin Xinze shook his head and took off the thick glasses on his nose, speaking firmly.
Yu Qinghong beside him was also in a daze for a moment and said, "I'll join in too!"
Chen Mengchuan, Toni and Gu Xiaoxiao laughed at the same time and said, "Welcome to Tianzhi."
A sumptuous meal of old Beijing hot pot from a foreign land was a feast for all seven people in the group. Father Chen even brought out the liquor that had been collected for many years and drank several glasses of it happily.
After eating and drinking enough, Gu Xiaoxiao wrapped around Lin Xinze's big head and asked all kinds of questions. Lin Xinze couldn't resist the kindness, so he had to teach Gu Xiaoxiao one question at a time.
Chen Mengchuan, Toni and Yu Qinghong talked about many data structure ideas.
After a conversation, Chen Mengchuan's many conjectures from the future also shocked Yu Qinghong. At the same time, Chen Mengchuan was also surprised by Yu Qinghong's theoretical knowledge of database systems. Following his topic, he discussed many data link structures that have not yet appeared, and Yu Qinghong was able to keep up with many of his ideas.
It wasn't until after dinner time that Father Chen Mother Chen came to call for help. Only then did the five people come back to their senses. When they looked out the window, it was already dusk.
Everyone immediately chatted while eating, and it wasn't until about 10 o'clock that night that they looked at each other and laughed. Toni ordered pizza delivery and started eating and drinking again. All five people stayed at Chen's house.
The next day, it was dark and after breakfast, Toni drove the other four people towards Stanford.
Stanford University is located on the north shore of Long Island Sound in New York. It can be reached 34 kilometers away by following the navigation. The car on the road in the early morning has not reached the rush hour of work. It takes 40 minutes to drive to Stanford University.
Gu Xiaoxiao took the four people directly to his teacher.
A group of five people arrived outside the apartment of Stanford, a university teacher. The manager of the apartment recognized Gu Xiaoxiao at a glance and greeted her cordially. Gu Xiaoxiao gave her a box of magical food from China, a small box of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and then took the four of them upstairs.
At the end of the apartment on the fifth floor, Gu Xiaoxiao knocked on the door of the apartment numbered 5H.
"Come in, the door is unlocked." A man's voice came from inside.
Gu Xiaoxiao smiled and pushed open the door. A man in his 40s was spreading jam on bread in the small open kitchen.
"It's so nice to see you, Xiaoxiao. And you too, young and strong boys." The man said with a smile.
"I'm glad to see you too, Teacher Simon." Gu Xiaoxiao smiled and walked up to him and gave him a hug, but Simon was holding his own breakfast, so it was obvious that he couldn't give her a hug.
"Sit down, the place is a bit narrow, you have to find something to sit on. You should have had breakfast, so this is mine." Simon said with a smile.
After a few people were polite, Simon slowly began to communicate with Chen Mengchuan about some arrangements for "Super Tenzhi Supercomputer Plan".
