Zhang Hongcheng didn't know how Uncle Tao was thinking of informing him. He and Chu Miaohong stayed at Chu's house for a day, and then hurriedly took the train back to Shanghai.
Uncle Tao didn't come to see them off, saying he was busy with work. Only Aunt Xie came.
"Just get along well. Your Uncle Tao said that you two are a perfect match, talented and beautiful.
A good match?
It is estimated that even Xie Zhuoma did not notice the meaning of what Tao Ju asked her to relay, and Chu Miaohong did not think about it seriously. Only Zhang Hongcheng was slightly stunned.
Uncle Tao, who said he would come to see him off, didn't come, but asked Aunt Xie to convey this message.
He felt that the words "equally matched" were a bit inappropriate.
Is it a satire on himself for deliberately hiding his background from Chu Miaohong?
But he felt that Tao Ju was not that kind of person.
strangeness!
April is the most comfortable season in Jiangnan.
The railway is full of green and wild flowers.
There are not many people on the train today.
The two found a quiet corner and sat facing each other by the window. Chu Miaohong pretended to appreciate the scenery outside the window, while Zhang Hongcheng was seriously admiring his girlfriend's face.
Both of them enjoyed themselves.
In the sleeper car on the same train with him.
Yue Shuhong walked out of the box of several foreign guests with no expression of joy or anger on his face.
But his colleagues clenched their fists tightly, and it was obvious that they were not as calm as they appeared.
Back in their group's exclusive private room, the team leader, who was smoking, put out his cigarette and looked at the two of them.
"How did the talk go?"
Yue Shuhong shook his head, finally revealing his exhaustion.
"Rector and the others still won't let go."
"They say Cray's pricing can't be changed."
"That's the same argument. They say the queue for Cray's supercomputing business is too long, and if you want to jump the queue, you have to accept their prices and conditions."
The team leader frowned and lit another cigarette.
Cray's supercomputers are world-class. In the past few years, their supercomputers have reached 250 million floating-point operations per second, while the most advanced in China can only achieve one million floating-point operations per second.
Oil exploration, aerospace, military, materials, climate and other fields all rely on the help of super computing power.
Now that the relationship between the two sides has eased, the United States has agreed to lease some computing power to China, but the price for each loan is more than twice that of the West!
Moreover, each project must ensure that it does not involve military or sensitive areas, and all information must be disclosed to the US side.
The business team that Yue Shuhong belongs to has been talking with this group of people for a month, but among the many issues that need to be accounted for, only a very small number of the less sensitive ones have been resolved.
Precious foreign exchange flows back to North America in their hands.
This pushed the psychological pressure on every member of the negotiation team to the limit.
The team leader thought about it and continued to encourage everyone.
"Our other, higher-level negotiation team is currently negotiating with several American companies, including Cray, to acquire supercomputers."
"Rector and the others are deliberately making things difficult for us, just to give Cray an advantage in the competition."
"Those supercomputers that may be introduced are the real big deals."
(In 1976, the US approved the sale of two degraded versions of the Cyber 172 to my country. Three humiliating conditions were attached: First, the performance of the supercomputers exported to China had to be significantly reduced. Second, the supercomputers could only be used for geological exploration and not for other purposes. Third, the keys to the computer room were in their hands, and their approval was required before any use.)
The team leader pointed to a pile of documents submitted by various industries on the table.
"Keep grinding. The verification of these data can't be delayed..."
"By the way, Xiao Yue, you still need to follow up privately with Li Jieke, the Chinese translator at Cray."
After hearing what the team leader said, some people couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
"This Li Jie Ke, even though we can get half the price by using his personal connections to cut in line, the calculations he gives us are always incomplete."
Yue Shuhong did explain for that person.
"He's just a white glove for some of the bad apples inside Cray. He said he was secretly cutting in line for us, but he didn't dare to give us all the sensitive parts."
"I tried to raise the price with him to see if I could convince the people behind him."
Someone sneered and shook his head.
"Haha, I think the person behind Li Jie Ke is probably that stubborn Rector!"
