Chapter 85 Seahorse Passes (34)
After the cooperation plan was finalized, the specific plan was implemented, and the four companies quickly confirmed the division of labor.
The Haima project will be IBM as the main plan implementer, with Intel and Nvidia as assistants. The entire plan will take 150 days, or about 5 months.
The main designer of the project, Zhou Kai, will be stationed in China as an expatriate. After the project is completed, he will be transferred to Tenzhi Technology with a buyout fee of 7 million US Dollar and become a member of Tenzhi Technology. At the same time, IBM, Intel and Nvidia will cooperate in lobbying the US political circles and be responsible for the passage of this plan in the US Congress.
The next day, in New York, USA, the four companies held a press conference together and immediately released Super Tenzhi Supercomputer Plan: Seahorse to the world!
The news immediately sparked heated discussions among global media and countless IT circles. In an instant, this "seahorse" was being discussed all over the world! A supercomputer that is more than 40 times more powerful than the current top supercomputer in the world.
Huaxia Official TV, who attended the press conference in the front row, reported it immediately.
On the entire Chinese Internet, topics such as Tianzhi, 10 billion US Dollar, Haima, supercomputer, IBM, Intel, Nvidia 40 times, the world's first supercomputer... and so on and so on are being discussed.
Compared with the heated discussion caused by Baidu's previous prosecution, Tianzhi completely defeated Baidu in terms of vision and layout.
Countless people began to leave spontaneous messages on the Weibo accounts of Baidu senior officials and many post bars.
[After Tianzhi's supercomputing comes out, do you still plan to sell ads and takeaways?]
[Before you sue someone, look at what you are doing!]
[Compared to Tianzhi's search engine, the countless ads on your website are simply rubbish!]
[...]
Suddenly, Baidu Company was deeply involved in public opinion, and its stock plummeted. The stock, which had been falling for nearly a month, plummeted to 25% that day. Compared with 188 US Dollar a month ago, the stock price fell to 117 US Dollar. The total market value evaporated by more than 23 billion US Dollar!
While everyone's attention was focused on the Seahorse Project, Gu Xiaoxiao's teacher Simon had already begun to lead the public relations team, and cooperated with the public relations teams of IBM, Intel, and Nvidia to lobby in political circles across the United States.
Toni also appears frequently on American television, newspapers and Internet circles.
As a Chinese-American, he grew up in the United States and worked for Oracle Company for many years. Many resumes were perfectly packaged and pushed to the stage. He told people all over the world that this supercomputer will be used in further research on wireless streaming technology, as well as many other technologies, and mankind will step into a new civilization...
Nine days later, after spending a total of nearly 70 million US Dollar in public relations expenses, the U. S. Congress announced that it had passed the "Haima" supercomputer project!
The public relations staff and teams of the four companies Tenzhi Technology, IBM, Intel and Nvidia all hugged each other excitedly when the approval was announced. Everyone was cheering and shouting. This will be the beginning of a new era, and this will be the step for mankind to enter a new era of civilization...
Late at night, next to Yonkers's Hudson River, Chen Mengchuan and Toni were sitting on a white armchair, each holding a bottle of beer in their hands. There were 7 or 8 empty beer bottles scattered on the ground.
"You know? Mengchuan, all of this is just like a dream. When I fall asleep late at night, I often dream that I am still at Keda, facing those stupid customers and stupid people day after day, being twisted into a ball by countless stupid guys, and eventually swallowing me up... Then I wake up and find that it is all just a dream." Toni took off his glasses and looked at the bright lights on the other side of the river with blurred eyes.
"I will always thank you, thank Wanyu, thank you to Keda, thank you to Huaxia, thank my parents, thank you for everything, let me find the meaning of life, the meaning of living. Let me have a dream. It is you who let me have a dream. You let everyone have a dream, these dreams one after another, mine, Fatty Xu, Zhao Wanyu, Chen Xiaoyun, Sun Zhongyong, Gu Xiaoxiao and all the people who have regained hope, including those who have dreams again, these dreams come together and condense into mountains, rivers and seas, and finally become your name, Mengchuan." Toni said with an expression.
Chen Mengchuan burst out laughing.
"Toni, this is probably the most touching thing you have said to me now that we have known each other." Chen Mengchuan handed over the wine bottle.
"Clang!" Two wine bottles made a sound.
Chen Mengchuan "Gulu~Gulu" drank all the wine in the bottle, raised his hand and threw the bottle towards the Hudson River.
"Hahahaha, you will be fined 200 US Dollar, Mengchuan." Toni laughed and pointed at Chen Mengchuan.
He opened another bottle of beer and held it in his hand.
"Toni, do you remember what I often say? Our goal is the sea of stars! This is just the beginning. We will soon step out of this small blue planet and look down at this tiny Solar System. We will travel in the galaxy, and finally step out to see the bigger world outside, the bigger universe, and see other civilizations in the universe! Ah~~!" Chen Mengchuan finally shouted out completely!
After Toni drank the wine in the bottle, he also threw the bottle out. "Ah~~!!"
"Hahaha, Toni, you will also be fined 200 US Dollar. Hahaha."
When Gu Xiaoxiao and Zhou Kai finally found them, Chen Mengchuan and Toni had fallen asleep on the bench. One and a half of the two boxes of beer on the floor had been consumed, and Chen Mengchuan was pressing on Toni's back in a fascinating position.
After laughing for a while, Gu Xiaoxiao took out his mobile phone and filmed the embarrassing scene between the two, and sent it to the senior management group of Tianzhi Company.
The small group instantly became happy and saved this once-in-a-lifetime photo.
Then Gu Xiaoxiao called other people and carried the two drunken men back to Toni's house in a hurry.
Chen Mengchuan After waking up the next day, shaking his still aching head, he got up and went into the bathroom. I drank too much beer yesterday and now my bladder feels like it's going to explode at any moment.
After venting, I began to recall how much I drank last night, what I did, and what I said, but I quickly gave up. My groggy mind could not recall the memory of yesterday at all, and it was completely fragmented.
After washing up, I put on clean clothes and left the room.
Inside the room, Toni's parents had already prepared breakfast and placed it on the table, covered by a gauze umbrella.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, Chen Mengchuan sat down on his own. After eating a few bites of breakfast, he seemed to have some strength.
Not long after, Toni also came downstairs. He had dark circles under his eyes and looked like he didn't have enough sleep. He said hello to Chen Mengchuan and started eating.
Pulling out his phone, Chen Mengchuan took a look at Tianzhi's Weixin group. There were already countless discussions in it. After scrolling for a long time, he pulled it to the top. It was a picture sent by Gu Xiaoxiao with a flash bomb and a somewhat gloomy picture. In the picture, he was pressed on Toni's back, and Toni was lying on a bench. The two of them were completely drunk.
Nima's Gu Xiaoxiao, I'm famous throughout my life...
