How is his child?

"It's still unclear. Before, they said he would have heart surgery if it was a bit serious, and they also mentioned conservative treatment. So during this period, he traveled all over the country to find experts in conservative treatment. I guess it was effective, which is why he came back."

Zhang Dongshuo nodded and said "Mm," then began to get busy with his work.

Xing Baohua strolled around the lab, glancing around casually. Most of the team members were checking the equipment.

After inspecting the temporary laboratory, Xing Baohua rushed back to his office.

As soon as she sat down, Xie Yingying took a piece of paper with her notes and placed it in front of Xing Baohua.

"Gates from Microsoft called you. He said he hopes you can attend the meeting in Germany and Italy in person. He has an important collaboration to discuss with you in detail."

After Xie Yingying finished speaking, Xing Baohua looked up at her and asked, "Do you think he might have lied to me about this? Or that he doesn't know anything about this, and someone is trying to fool him?"

"I don't know. If someone of his status tries to trick you into going there, his reputation and credibility will be at their lowest," Xie Yingying analyzed.

“Tell him that the projects I'm currently developing are all worth around 10 billion, and I simply can't spare the time. If there's anything truly important, he should come to my country in person to discuss it with me. To hell with America.”

Gates is also very busy; he needs to plan his time before traveling.

Upon hearing Xing Baohua's secretary's explanation over the phone, Gates couldn't help but smile. He seemed to have heard that Xing Baohua was planning to build the world's first and second tallest skyscrapers.

In his opinion, Xing Baohua was simply being idle and had nothing better to do.

Even if you have money to burn, you can't just invest it in real estate! If it were him, he would invest in Silicon Valley.

He invited Xing Baohua over for negotiations because he genuinely had important matters to discuss and actually wanted to cooperate with Xing Baohua.

The two met by chance during the Deyi Conference. If he knew that Xing Baohua was afraid the CIA was sabotaging things, he would definitely have cried foul, saying he had absolutely no connection to the matter.

He and his team have studied the Mount Everest system; it's amazing, but still immature, mainly because it's an early model. Given more time, it will improve rapidly.

The population size of a superpower can determine its market share in certain markets.

The company's advisors suggested to Gates that they merge the Everest system, or if that wasn't possible, they should use Microsoft's Loongson mobile platform chip to create a mobile Windows system.

For small capacity and small size, the Win1.0 version is fine; it can be modified and used.

They actually took a Loongson-powered laptop and tablet and heavily modified the system.

A bunch of professional experts make modifying things so easy for them. They can really mess around with it and do it very well.

The company's think tank's idea is to have Gates collaborate with the rice company to have the rice company produce some laptops and tablets with Windows mobile platform operating systems.

As for the distribution ratio, we'll start with a 4:6 ratio, with rice taking 40% and the system taking the remainder.

If you disagree, you can split the profits 50/50; this is Microsoft's bottom line. After all, Windows is the best-selling operating system globally. Everyone likes to use Windows.

Don't be fooled by the fact that it's a 50/50 split and Win seems to be at a disadvantage; their ultimate goal is to squeeze the usage rate of the Everest system.

Knowing that Xing Baohua wouldn't be coming to Da Mei, Gates had no choice but to have his secretary create a schedule to see when he would be free to meet with Xing Baohua.

Gates' secretary reviewed his recent schedule, confirmed the dates, and then gave Xie Yingying the exact dates. She hoped that Da Mi could arrange Gates' hospitality and the visit to the rice factory in advance.

It's easy to arrange the reception; just show us one of the workshops. With such a heavy production workload, there's no need to cater to this person.

Xing Baohua also had a premonition that there would be some conflict with Microsoft. After all, his system would pose a threat. Although they were currently on two separate tracks and their businesses did not conflict, a conflict would inevitably occur sooner or later.

Three days later, Xing Baohua received news from Zhang Dongshuo that the experiment had failed. The problem was with the basic materials; a tiny crack appeared during the micro-frequency vibration, invisible to the naked eye and only visible under an electron microscope.

If a sapphire is used as a base and cracks appear, it means that the engraved metal lines inside have also broken.

These nanoscale particles are invisible without specialized equipment. Problems arose during the first test, requiring careful observation to find the cause.

Finally, the issue of sapphire material must be addressed.

Sapphires are dug from the ground, and no one can be sure about their quality. If you wear it as a gemstone ring, who can tell it's broken?

Therefore, we can only experiment piece by piece, and this inefficient method will only increase costs.

If Xing Baohua succeeds in building one piece, he will be able to fulfill his dream of building a superconducting quantum computer next year.

This was discussed with AVIC; otherwise, they wouldn't have agreed to help with the satellite project.

There's still time. Xing Baohua refuses to believe that a few thousand sapphire crystals can't produce a superconducting core.

The sapphires from the neighboring city aren't very good. We could try other sources. I've heard that Sri Lankan gemstones are of good quality. Should we order a batch?

Zhang Dongshuo said he would try the ones from the neighboring city first, since they are very close to the production area.

Xing Baohua liked hearing this, so he let him do whatever he wanted.

It's the weekend again, and the rice team is heading to an away game. They're getting great treatment; they're traveling by transport plane.

Some players even said that if they were given a parachute each, they could parachute directly to the stadium, saving the team the cost of the bus from the airport to the stadium.

The turbulent airflow along the way made several of us vomit.

I bounced and swayed, like the waves. It was even more exciting than riding a speedboat.

Transport planes are not as comfortable as passenger planes. Besides being faster than trains, they are not as stable.

The players are really suffering.

Let's appoint a tour leader and buy train tickets for the return trip!

After the players got off the plane, they heard from the departing team that the transport plane pilots from the Rice family were either trained as bombers or fighters. They were lucky today because they were bombers, and they couldn't do somersaults.
