Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 549 Supercomputer Ranking Competition

In response to the boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics, which became the smallest number of countries to participate in the Olympics since 1956, the Soviet Union also announced on May 1984 that it would not participate in the [-] Los Angeles Olympics.

However, just like the young man Han Sining said, "We are watching the performance of the Chinese team, and we don't care about other things." The symbolic meaning of this countermeasure is greater than the actual effect.

Tang Huan's companies will launch a publicity campaign on this world-class platform on a larger scale than the 1980 Moscow Olympics.

After dinner, Tang Huan, Meng Qingguan, and Zhou Zhong accompanied Han Zhiliang into the study, drinking tea and chatting.

The old man is obviously more interested in Zhou Zhong's local governance, and finally commented: "The work below is intricate, and it will test patience and understanding."

When leaving, Tang Huan, who was at the end, said softly, "Grandpa, what else can you tell me?"

"I have nothing to teach you." Han Zhiliang sighed, "I'm trying to live a few more years now, as long as I'm still here, you'll have an extra way out."

Tang Huan had a sore nose, and murmured: "Grandpa and grandma are healthy and strong, of course they will live a long life."

……

In Tang Huan's capacity today, he made public appearances in Yanjing, and those who were in the front of the itinerary were undoubtedly interviewed by the leaders.

But Tang Huan has the brilliance of showing his extraordinary energy to distinguish him from other businessmen, that is, he can meet Chief Deng who manages everything every day.

"With the opening of [-] coastal port cities, the world for you, a billionaire, to show your talents is even broader." Chief Deng said with high spirits.

"Everyone adds fuel to the fire, and at best I just play a role in attracting others." Tang Huan said modestly.

"You, the God of Wealth, have set an extraordinary example." Chief Deng laughed loudly, "And DreamWorks is becoming more and more famous. The TV series "Eastward Is the Sea" made the Ningbo Gang ’ We talked about it so much that we even mentioned it when we met.”

Tang Huan said with emotion: "There are countless successful businessmen in Ningbo. Bao Yugang, Wang Kuancheng, Ying Changqi, Gu Guohua, Zhao Anzhong, Li Huili, Shaw Run Run, Li Daksan, Cao Guangbiao, etc. are all very famous people. I want to make friends with them."

Maomao joked at the side: "Dreamworks' "Once Upon a Time" has been played in the small auditorium countless times, and the young people now like this set of excitement."

"I would also like to thank the relevant departments for their support for DreamWorks' filming activities in mainland China." Tang Huan said: "DreamWorks will produce more good programs that people like to hear and see to meet people's spiritual life needs."

After talking about some light topics, and then bringing up the serious business, almost half an hour passed.It seems that the time is a bit short, but it is enough to communicate, and no matter how much effort others spend, they may not be able to have such a connection.

……

After walking around the high-level, Tang Huan started his work schedule. First, he went to Zhongguancun to visit the Philosophy and Confucian Science and Technology Park, which took several years to complete.It includes buildings with different functions such as office buildings, business hotels, apartments, sports fields, and small parks. From a distance, it looks like a modern style.

Since Zhongguancun is still in the initial stage of development and is no better than a small town, Zheru Science and Technology Park is particularly eye-catching and has suddenly become a landmark.

In fact, the construction process of Zheru Science and Technology Park can be described as twists and turns. At the beginning, Tang Huan brought over 2000 million US dollars to build a hotel, but with the site selection and design, it gradually evolved into Zheru Technology, which is now thriving in Zhongguancun. garden.

Therefore, Tang Huan made no less investment, including cash and loans.Of course, from a long-term perspective, these efforts are worthwhile. Such a large piece of land may not be approved in a few years.

"Fairness prevails in people's hearts. Your sincerity to the country is seen by everyone. That rare earth export quota is a reciprocation." Meng Qingguan, who accompanied Tang Huan around the park, talked about this topic proudly. Because he has a share of the credit for fighting for it.

As a strategic resource, rare earth has the largest share among the proven reserves in the world. Other countries and regions with rare earth resources include the Soviet Union, the United States, Australia, India, Canada, South Africa, Brazil, and Malaysia. and Vietnam, etc., while Europe and Japan basically have no rare earth resources, and their rare earth demand is mainly met by importing from China.

In the original time and space, China began to control and restrict the export of rare earth ores in 2009 to protect the resource environment and curb over-exploitation. However, it aroused dissatisfaction from the United States, Japan, Europe and other countries, and then filed a lawsuit with the WTO.

This shows how important rare earth resources are.Now that Tang Huan's industry has obtained a stable channel of resource supply, the significance can be described as no small matter.

After hearing what my uncle said, Tang Huan just smiled. There are some things that can only be understood, but cannot be expressed in words.

Zheru Xiangjiang Company's base camp in mainland China has moved from the tube building over the university to Zheru Science and Technology Park, and brought a lot of related companies.

Yanjing's technology research and development projects focus on the network, operating system and other fields. After seeing a few results, Tang Huan waved to Wang Hongde who was by the side, "Go, go to your Jinghai to have a look."
At this stage, Jinghai's main business is the construction of computer rooms. Although it may not have so much profound and irreplaceable technical content, among the many projects that Tang Huan applied for venture capital support, its development is the fastest. Profitable from the start.

The reason is that there are too many places in China that need computers. State-owned enterprises, government agencies, schools, banks... are the main customers of Fangyuan Computer, and Jinghai will follow behind to observe, and once he finds that the project is completed, he will rush forward Go, provide support services including power, network, etc. in the computer room.

Jinghai's ability to make money has even attracted jealousy and criticism. Fortunately, Wang Hongde, who was born in a scientific research institute, knew how to keep a low profile. Coupled with the setbacks of being suspended before, he handled it quite neatly. In addition to salary, most of them are invested in scientific research.

It is precisely because Wang Hongde is so calm in business management that Tang Huan remembers the other party's development achievements and specially visits Jinghai to save face.

"Jinghai is now a collective enterprise, and its work is increasingly encountering unnecessary resistance. I really don't know how to completely eliminate it." Wang Hongde opened up about his confusion.

The entrepreneurial funds that Tang Huan spread out are essentially venture capital from Silicon Valley in the United States, but financial returns are not his focus. Cultivating the foundation for localized operations is his biggest goal.

Therefore, after Wang Hongde got the start-up fund, Tang Huan never asked about Jinghai's organizational form.In fact, Wang Hongde has no good choice. Collective enterprises are the natural solution at present.

Tang Huan could imagine Wang Hongde's situation, but this was the characteristics of the country, so he smiled and consoled him, "Be more open-minded. Enterprise restructuring needs legal support, so just wait. At least compared with the original situation in the scientific research institute, Teacher Wang The ambition has been realized.”

"That's true." Wang Hongde nodded and asked tentatively, "Perhaps introducing Hong Kong capital and establishing a joint venture can bring more vitality to the business."

"It's not suitable for me to extend my hand too long. If you think it's ok, you can find a way to push it." Tang Huan replied vaguely.

In the final analysis, although Jinghai is making considerable profits at this stage, he is still far away from his eyes. It is better to let him develop on his own as a member of the ecosystem.

After coming out of Jinghai, Tang Huan went straight to see another cooperation project——Wang Xuan's laser phototypesetting system.

Compared with English, Chinese printing technology needs to solve many technical problems. The printing and publishing of newspapers, books, etc. in China at the current stage is still at the level of stereotyped printing, while developed countries such as Japan, Europe and the United States have adopted the second printing technology. Generation, and even the third generation phototypesetting system.

Originally, China also followed this development path, but Wang Xuan proposed to skip the intermediate stage of analog storage and directly develop a fourth-generation phototypesetting system for digital storage. In 1981, he presided over the development of China's first computer laser Chinese character phototypesetting system. The prototype, namely the Huaguang I type, passed the ministerial appraisal.

Of course, this achievement is still a long way from real commercial use.

Tang Huan, who was born in Peking University, naturally became a partner in this project. In fact, this was also determined by his technical advantages. The ultimate goal of the cooperation between the two parties was to leave the Japanese competitor behind and develop a Chinese color phototypesetting system.

Noticing that a researcher had designed a new Chinese character font on the Fangyuan workstation, Tang Huan couldn't help praising: "This thing is good, and it can be added to the font library of Zheru's word processing software WordEasy."

"The design tools provided by Zheru are very useful, and they have become an important contributor to the progress of the project." Wang Xuan, who has been promoted to a professor, said with a smile.

"Mr. Wang, I heard that the Huaguang II machine has been successfully developed, so let me see it quickly." Tang Huan asked impatiently.

"Fulfill what you want." Wang Xuan had been prepared for a long time, and directly demonstrated, outputting several articles in Tang Huan's collection of computer technology papers.

"This level should be able to enter the trial stage." Tang Huan looked at it with interest and gave his own conclusion.

"The Xinhua News Agency is willing to conduct a trial run." Wang Xuan nodded.

"Actually, in order to better promote the commercial use of this technology, it's time to set up an enterprise to operate it." Tang Huan said thoughtfully.

"Peking University also has this plan." Wang Xuan took over and said, "I guess you will talk about this issue when you go to Peking University this time."

……

Sure enough, when Tang Huan came to Peking University to visit the "Anqing Library" he donated and built and named after his mother Han Anqing, the accompanying leader tentatively mentioned this matter.

It is not difficult to understand that with such a capable and enthusiastic alumnus, Peking University no longer wants to ask grandpa and grandma to go to the department to find support, and plans to directly recruit Tang Huan to establish a company called Founder of Peking University.

Tang Huan made it clear with a smile, "Of course I am willing to support the development of my alma mater."

Although it had long been expected that Tang Huan would agree to this request, but after hearing the official affirmative answer, the school leaders were still overjoyed, and immediately asked for opinions, "Then start to form with Wang Xuan as the leader."

"This arrangement is quite suitable." Tang Huan agreed.

Most of the books in Anqing Library were donated by Tang Huan. Its management system is a product of Zheru, and its modernization level can be regarded as the first in China.

Seeing the students swimming in the ocean of knowledge, Tang Huan was very pleased. There is nothing more meaningful than this kind of commemoration.

When we reached the third floor, a student walked towards us and asked very bravely: "Dr. Tang, when will your lecture start?"

"It should be around 10:30." Tang Huan answered casually, looked at the other person, and couldn't help but laugh, "I guess you are not a student of Peking University?"

"How do you know?" The other party was a little dazed, "I'm a sophomore in the Physics Department of Tsinghua University."

"I guess your surname is Zhang." Tang Huan continued jokingly.

"Yes, my name is Zhang Chaoyang. How did you guess it?" Zhang Chaoyang agreed while checking himself up and down to see where his identity had been exposed.

Tang Huan laughed, thinking that you are so easy to recognize, but he will not tell the secret, but just waved his hands, and walked over in an unfathomable manner, leaving Zhang Chaoyang to be suspicious.

After coming out of the Anqing Library, Tang Huan attended the honorary doctor awarding ceremony held by Peking University, and then gave a speech, mainly focusing on the development status and future prospects of the IT field.

Second-rate universities look up to first-rate universities, and first-rate universities look up to study abroad.The students of key universities in this era also have the same desire for promotion.

So Tang Huan responded to everyone's request and briefly introduced the study abroad opportunities he provided - in addition to the long-famous Shennong Foundation Scholarship, he also established the Tang Yubo Scholarship in his father's name, but there was one thing. The application requirements are higher than those of the former.

It was not the first time for Tang Huan to give a speech at Peking University, so he was not interested in making a long speech. He said something practical and answered some questions. Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, he announced the end of the event.

The students wanted to continue listening for a while, but Tang Huan declined with a smile, "I have to keep some information to avoid being emptied out and having nothing to say when I come next time."

……

After eating at Peking University and returning to the office, Tang Huan looked at a document sent by his assistant and couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "Is this a big business again?"

It turned out that a new change had taken place in the competition for supercomputer ranking. The Soviet Union successfully developed the latest supercomputer M-13, with a computing efficiency of 2.4 GFLOPS, and placed it in the Moscow Institute of Computer Science Research.

The extent of this performance improvement is a bit surprising.

You know, the performance of the Fangyuan supercomputer "Tai Chi" that occupied the top spot last year exceeded the iconic 1 GFLOPS mark. Unexpectedly, the performance of the Soviet M-13 suddenly doubled.
