There are three models in the bag, representing three development forms of quantum computers.
Lin Zhixia took out all these models and demonstrated their extremely sophisticated internal structures.
Jiang Yubai's father is very interested in the high-tech industry - venture capital markets around the world are chasing emerging technologies, and he has heard of the concept of "quantum computing".
Currently, many countries are participating in a global "quantum computing competition."
In 2015, both China and the United States invested more than 3 billion yuan in non-confidential quantum computing projects. In 2016, countries rushed to increase the amount and intensity of investment. The EU's "Quantum Flagship Program" cost 7.7 billion yuan, and the US's "National Quantum Initiative Act" provided research and development funds of 8.7 billion yuan. Russia, India, Germany, Japan and other countries have invested a total of more than 5 billion yuan in the field of quantum computing.
Once the true functions of quantum computers are realized, the current general-purpose supercomputers will likely become obsolete. Therefore, the valuation of the entire "quantum computing" industry will far exceed the tens of billions of investments spent by various countries.
Jiang Yubai's father picked up a model, and Jiang Yubai said, "Xia Xia has been working on these three models for more than nine months, starting at the beginning of the year, and they were just completed not long ago."
After Jiang Yubai said this, his father tactfully took over the topic from his son - he first thanked Lin Zhixia for the gift she had prepared, and praised her for her youth and success. Then, he started talking to Lin Zhixia's father, Lin Fugui.
They walked towards the dining table one after another.
Lin Fugui didn't know how he should address his father-in-law. In their rural hometown, "father-in-law" could be called directly, but his daughter had just gotten engaged to Jiang Yubai, so he wasn't sure what his father-in-law meant. He said, "Jiang..."
Jiang Yubai's father smiled and said, "Jiang Shaofeng."
Jiang Shaofeng is the full name of Jiang Yubai's father.
Jiang Shaofeng had introduced himself once before, so of course Lin Fugui remembered his name - Lin Fugui also remembered that Jiang Yubai's mother was Guan Xunmei, his uncle was Jiang Shaoqi, his aunt's Chinese name was Yang Qian, and her English name was Jessica... The wealthy family named themselves without even using the word "rich".
Lin Fugui tightened his shirt and sat down next to Lin Zeqiu.
From the time he entered the door until now, Lin Zeqiu has not said a word.
Lin Zhixia was much more lively and cheerful than her brother. She sat next to Jiang Yubai and answered all the questions from the elders. She was keenly aware that Jiang Yubai's uncle and aunt were particularly kind. The aunt even sat on the other side of Lin Zhixia and made an appointment with Lin Zhixia to go out and play together when they were free.
Even so, the conversation at the table continued intermittently.
Jiang Yubai's six family members are all good at speaking and smoothing things over. However, once the topic comes to Lin Zhixia's parents and brother, the whole place will inevitably be silent for a few seconds. Whenever this happens, Jiang Yubai will play a role in transition. He always intentionally or unintentionally leads the direction of the conversation, trying to make Lin Zhixia's parents relax. Jiang Yubai's grandfather teased him: "Xiaobai is still very considerate."
In Jiang Yubai's memory, after he turned seven years old, no one in his family called him "Xiaobai" anymore.
Lin Fugui thought that "Xiaobai" was Jiang Yubai's nickname, and he said quickly: "Xiaobai is a good kid, good at everything."
Jiang Shaoqi immediately replied: "No, no, my dear, don't be modest, Xia Xia is really amazing, a 22-year-old associate professor, the person in charge of a national project. I know a lot of friends, but I have never heard of any child who is as outstanding as our Xia Xia, she is worthy of me..."
He almost said, "She is worthy of being my nephew's future daughter-in-law."
Fortunately, he stopped in time.
He changed his words and said, "You are worthy of being a specially appointed teacher of the best university in our province."
Lin Fugui smiled and toasted Jiang Shaoqi with another glass of wine.
Lin Zeqiu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Our Lin Zhixia has a high IQ and is a simple and kind person. If you spend a few more days with her, you will know... how good she is."
Lin Zeqiu's words almost brought tears to Lin Zhixia's eyes.
Lin Zhixia was 22 years old and had never heard Lin Zeqiu talk about her in such a humble tone.
She still remembered that more than ten years ago, Lin Zeqiu and his elementary school classmates always gritted their teeth when talking about his sister. He often said, "Lin Zhixia is so fucking annoying! I am almost driving her crazy!"
And now, in front of everyone, Lin Zeqiu could actually say such disgusting words.
Lin Zhixia was very moved.
Jiang Yubai also discovered that as long as he talked about Lin Zhixia's strengths, her parents and brother would be relatively relaxed and no longer tense.
Therefore, in order to give Lin Zhixia more opportunities to perform and to make her family feel more comfortable during the meeting, Jiang Yubai said, "Yes, she has so many advantages that I can't count them all."
Jiang Yubai opened up to his family for the first time, recounting his life experiences over the past decade. When he said, "Xia Xia and I exchange diaries every year, and she probably knows me better than I know myself," his mother's eyes softened, but his grandfather suddenly asked, "How is the company you two run together? A few days ago, my secretary sorted out the news for me, and Chai Yang is always on the front page."
Grandma echoed, "It's quite a commotion."
In front of Grandpa was a quantum computer model. He picked up the model, looked at it over and over, and asked, "Professor Lin, what do you think?"
Lin Zhixia answered frankly: "It's not a bad thing. Chai Yang's commotion has increased the attention on our company. Chai Yang does not recognize quantum computing, but countries all over the world are investing in the quantum industry. The impact of quantum computers is huge, involving the development of all walks of life. Let me give you an example. The core of the biomedical field is chemical reactions, which are based on the quantum level. If we fully master quantum computing technology, we can design a series of chemical reactions to mass-produce the safest and most effective drugs. Also Yes, Bitcoin. I think everyone has heard of Bitcoin. The underlying technology of Bitcoin is blockchain. The basic algorithms of blockchain include hash algorithm, symmetric and asymmetric encryption... Quantum computing can destroy this encryption mechanism and shake the security of Bitcoin from the root. In short, quantum computing can promote the development of many industries such as biology, chemistry, physics, medicine, finance, and the Internet. I think its impact should be no less than the first and second industrial revolutions. It is also a hurdle that must be overcome in the history of human technological development. "
After saying this long paragraph, Lin Zhixia and Jiang Yubai looked at each other.
She whispered, "How did I do?"
Jiang Yubai said: "Very good."
Lin Zhixia's voice was barely audible: "Isn't it very easy to understand?"
Jiang Yubai poured her a glass of strawberry juice: "Yes, you can keep it up."
Lin Zhixia took a sip of the strawberry juice and exclaimed, "So sweet."
Grandpa looked very friendly: "Quantum computing is very good, a cutting-edge technology industry. Xiao Jiang, how did you and Chai Yang quarrel? Jiangke Software is your highest-return investment. I was busy for the past few months and didn't ask your father or you. Today, the whole family is having dinner together and there are no outsiders at the table. We don't need to be polite. Just say what you want to say."
Jiang Shaoqi was particularly excited: "Yes, there are no outsiders at this table."
Grandpa glanced at him.
Jiang Shaoqi picked up his chopsticks and lowered his head to eat.
Jiang Yubai smiled and said, "Jiangke Software is a subsidiary of a parent company. Chai Yang wanted to spin off Jiangke Software for listing, but I didn't agree. Jiangke's accounts are independent, cash flow is sufficient, and the stock incentive system has just been implemented. It is not suitable for listing for the time being."
Grandpa nodded slightly.
Jiang Yubai added: "Chai Yang has contacted Internet startup teams in the United States and the United Kingdom. He wants to recruit talents from foreign teams..."
"Don't you agree either?" Lin Zhixia interrupted.
Before Jiang Yubai could answer, Lin Zhixia said, "The team recruited from abroad may not necessarily achieve the results that Chai Yang wants. After all, they still need to work with the local team, and their working habits and styles are quite different."
Jiang Yubai clinked glasses with her.
The two of them discussed the "development of the Internet localization industry" and "team training and management rules" one after another. Lin Zeqiu occasionally interjected, and after Lin Zhixia's father drank a glass of wine, they finally opened up. The atmosphere in the box gradually became warmer, and there were no more dull moments.
After the meal, Jiang Yubai and Lin Zhixia said goodbye at the hotel door.
Jiang Yubai prepared gifts for both sets of parents in advance - the gifts were in identical handbags, but the contents of the bags were different.
Jiang Yubai's aunt unwrapped the paper and saw a beautiful gift box. She hugged Lin Zhixia very warmly and said to her, "Thank you, Xia Xia, for the expense."
Lin Zhixia was a little confused. She didn't even know what was in the gift box. Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Yubai grabbed her wrist. His fingertips traced the ring on her ring finger, and Lin Zhixia sighed for the ten-thousandth time, "You are so nice."
She hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have to go back to school and go to the lab now. My doctoral student has run into some trouble..."
"Scientific research is more important," Jiang Yubai said, "See you tomorrow."
Lin Zhixia nodded: "See you tomorrow."
Having said that...
Jiang Yubai still drove Lin Zhixia back to school, and took his father-in-law and mother-in-law to the gate of the community. When he finished these things, it was almost 3:30 in the afternoon. He drove back to the Jiang Family Manor. His father, mother, uncle, aunt, grandpa and grandmother were all sitting in the meeting room waiting for him.
This situation is quite rare.
Jiang Yubai pushed open the front door of the room. He walked slowly on the carpet, almost without making a sound, and Grandpa said, "I heard that you were engaged, so your grandmother and I rushed back from the Maldives overnight, and your grandmother met her granddaughter-in-law for the first time."
Jiang Yubai heard the hidden meaning behind his grandfather's words.
At today's in-laws' meeting, Jiang Yubai's family was very respectful, but that didn't mean the elders were satisfied with Jiang Yubai's approach. Jiang Yubai's only request was: "If you have any opinions, I will mediate, don't tell Lin Zhixia directly."
