"Building the Great Four Modernizations with Full Confidence and Full Enthusiasm!"

This is a commentator's article published on the front page of Guangming Daily, although it is not a front-page headline, but since it can be published on the front page, it is enough to prove the official weight of this article, the article quotes Chen Geng's four self-confidence mentioned at a symposium with practitioners in the national computer industry, pointing out that "we have confidence in our own civilization, confidence in the system we have chosen, confidence in the system we have chosen, and self-confidence in the theory we have chosen."

This can be regarded as an "official certification" of Chen Geng, but unfortunately, Chen Geng did not see this article, at this time he was receiving Professor Ci Yungui and Professor Wang Yongmin, yes, after yesterday's symposium, the two professors came to Chen Geng with the latest instructions from their superiors.

"Can you really sell it to me?" Professor Tzu Yungui brought with him, which surprised Chen Geng.

"Well, there are a few conditions though. As he said this, Professor Tzu Yungui blushed a little.

Chen Geng was not surprised, he thought that Huaxia would most likely not agree, but now he gave an affirmative answer so quickly, which was actually beyond his imagination, Chen Geng nodded and said, "You say." ”

Sure that Chen Geng didn't seem to be angry, Professor Ci made up his mind: "That's right, this computer hasn't been developed yet, so you may need to wait another two years." ”

"What should I be," Chen Geng smiled, could I not have known that the Galaxy-1 giant machine was completed in 1983?

Professor Tzu Yungui had long thought that Chen Geng might ask this question, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "84 years, no more than March 84 at most, what do you think?"

"Yes," Chen Geng thought for a while, and finally nodded: "As long as the price is right, yes, no problem, what else?"

"And ......" Hearing Chen Geng's words, Ci Yungui's face suddenly became embarrassed: "There is also the need for you to pay a part of the deposit in advance." ”

The reason for his proposal to advance the deposit was also very simple: First, in the area of giant machines, they are all order-based production, so the practice is to pay a part of the deposit in advance; second, with this part of the deposit, we can save a part of the research and development funds for the country, and use this money for other scientific research projects that are ongoing but lack funds.

For the first reason, everyone is not very convinced, but the second reason convinces everyone at once: if it can save some R&D funds for the country, it is of course the best.

As far as Huaxia is concerned, this giant machine is not only the first giant machine in Huaxia with a speed of 100 million vector floating-point operations per second, but also a key weapon of the country? If this giant machine is sold to Chen Geng so easily, it will be easy for the Americans to judge our country's scientific research strength and overall level in the computer field based on our extremely high performance.

However, these words were quickly scoffed at: "What is the strength of our country, you don't know as a foreigner? Why does the West ban the sale of 100 million-class giant aircraft to us? Is it not because we don't have it? Why do we develop this giant machine? Isn't it just to break the blockade of the West?"

This is so reasonable that everyone is speechless.

Indeed, the Western world does not know what the overall level of research and development of our Huaxia computers is, but since we can't even say anything about the giant machine with the highest floating-point operation speed of 100 million times per second, the West will naturally draw a line for us: Huaxia's computer level is here.

The leaders also had such worries, but after listening to the analysis of Ci Yungui and others, the leaders suddenly felt that this blockade was particularly boring, and in the end, this matter was settled.

Chen Gengke didn't know that there was so much inside information in this, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care, nodded and said, "Deposit?"

Ci Yungui didn't expect Chen Geng to agree so happily, and gritted his teeth: "Two machines, a total of 8 million, you have to pay 30% of the advance payment." ”

So Professor Ci's team calculated, and with this 2.4 million, including the existing funds in the team's hands, the project can be maintained without the need for financial allocation from the state.

"That's 2.4 million?"

"Yes, but foreign exchange should account for at least 40%," said Professor Ci at this point, and Professor Tzu hurriedly explained, "We need to buy things like CPUs and memory from the world, and we must use foreign exchange." ”

Chen Geng is not stupid, when he heard Professor Ci's words, he groaned for a while, and he smiled: "Professor Ci, you obviously plan to use my money to do research and development." ”

Seeing that Professor Ci was about to explain, Chen Geng raised his hand and motioned for him to finish: "Don't forget, I have a computer company myself, although we don't have a giant computer project, it doesn't mean that I don't know anything about it. ”

“......”

Professor Ci was speechless for a moment, yes, he actually forgot about this.

Finished!

It's a mess!

Professor Ci was very depressed, but despite this, his demeanor was not lost, and he took a deep breath: "......"

Just as Professor Ci opened his mouth to speak, Chen Geng spoke: "Not enough, Professor Ci, if you agree to take out a few people to come and assist us in developing the Chinese character input system, I will agree to your conditions." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Professor Ci to speak, Chen Geng had already turned his head to look at Wang Yongmin with a smile: "Professor Wang, you didn't come here today to say 'I'm very sorry', right?"

“......”

Professor Ci almost scolded: Dare you wait for me here?!

Professor Wang Yongmin smiled and replied honestly: "Yes, the superior leader has agreed." ”

Speaking of this, Professor Wang Yongmin paused slightly, turned his head and whispered to Professor Ci Yungui: "Director Ci, actually...... If Mr. Chen had bought a giant machine from IBM, it wouldn't have taken him that long. ”

What do you mean by that?!

Professor Tzu Yungui instinctively felt a little unhappy in his heart, but after a short period of unhappiness, he suddenly reacted: Wang Yongmin is reminding himself.

Of course, it is to remind himself that for Chen Geng, ordering a giant machine directly from IBM is far more cost-effective than ordering it from himself.

Thinking of this, Professor Ci immediately reacted: Chen Geng is an American, and there is no obstacle for him to buy a giant machine with this performance from IBM, and if he places an order for IBM, it will be as little as three months or as long as a year, and a brand-new giant machine with proven reliability and quality will be delivered to him.

But why did Chen Geng choose himself instead of IBM, just because the quotation on his side was cheaper?

Are you kidding!

For a computer with this performance, the price is not the first factor considered by the user. Reliability, convenience and cost of future maintenance are the things that users of the giant machine care about the most, on the contrary, the giant machine that Huaxia is developing is the most unwilling to be purchased by users, because Huaxia has no technology and experience in manufacturing giant machines before, which means that this giant machine may have many defects, and no one dares to guarantee that it will not have some inexplicable problems when it is running.

So why did Chen Geng place an order for himself, and there were only two of them at once? Was it to test Huaxia's R&D and manufacturing level in the field of giant machines? This possibility cannot be ruled out, but it is more likely that Chen Geng is actually silently supporting the development of the country's computer technology in this way.

Thinking of this, Professor Tzu Yungui's face was feverish!

Fever is fever, Professor Ci Yungui still quickly signed a contract of intent with Chen Geng - the reason why it is a contract of intent rather than a formal contract is because the giant machine is a highly customized thing, and every detail of the product needs to be specified and required in the contract, and the two parties need to negotiate the specific specifications and details, and at the same time take into account the technical implementation ability of Professor Ci's team, and when everything is negotiated, it will be at least a month or two later.

........................

When it was Professor Wang Yongmin's turn, Chen Geng was much more straightforward: "Professor Wang, yesterday in front of so many leaders, there were some things that I couldn't say too much, but there are no outsiders today, so I'll be more direct:

If you join my project, you can enjoy the salary of 300 yuan per month for the chief R&D worker, plus a bonus of no less than 200 yuan per month, no less than 100 yuan of rice, noodles, meat and eggs and other benefits, and 16 months of salary every year.

After the successful development of the project, you can get 3.5% of the sales share, please note that this is a sales share rather than a profit share, assuming we achieve 1 million sales, you can get a sales commission of 35,000, and this commission is lifelong, as long as the product is not discontinued, you can always get a commission. ”

“......”

Professor Wang Yongmin didn't speak, and his whole person was stunned: There is such a good thing?!

Looking at Professor Wang's reaction, Chen Geng smiled slightly, and then said: "Second, the company guarantees R&D funds; third, the supervisor-level leaders of the R&D team, the salary structure is: monthly salary of 260 + bonus of not less than 160 yuan + welfare value of not less than 80 yuan, 16 months of salary per year, and the basic salary structure of program developers is: monthly salary of 200 + bonus of not less than 120 yuan +Benefits worth no less than 60 yuan, 14 months of salary per year, and finally, your team can get a total of 6.5% sales commission except for you. So...... Are you satisfied with these conditions?"

“......”

Professor Wang was already dumbfounded: It's too simple and crude, isn't it?
