Chapter 252 Different decisions
"Qiao Yu, the money has arrived."
"So fast? No way? My bonus was not so fast last time!"
"Shit directly to the overseas account."
"Uncle Zheng, do you actually have an overseas account?"
"It's not my account."
"Oh...so, then you have to keep an eye on it. After the money is in, you should pay the tax. After the tax is paid, you will get all the money off with your brothers.
Oh, by the way, this money is not for you to give to those companies. It is directly allocated to people. I will ask at that time. I added a WeChat message for engineering and engineering.
If they can't get the money then, it's your negligence. I don't care if someone intervenes or not, I will ask you directly!"
"Don't worry. But how do you divide it?"
"Just just score equally... A person should be able to score 170,000 or 80,000, right?" "It's almost the same, it depends on how much tax is deducted. I'll hand over the account to you in the future." Zheng Xiwen nodded and said.
Three million US dollars, according to the current exchange rate, there are 21 million RMB.
However, there are about fifty or sixty engineers responsible for helping tonight, and there are more than thirty brothers under him, and there are nearly a hundred people in total.
If all scores are equal, it will be more than 100,000 per person. It's also a huge sum of money.
It can only be said that Qiao Yu is indeed generous in winning people's hearts.
But it cannot be said that Qiao Yu is generous. After all, this money was not taken out by Qiao Yu, and it was a bit of a sense of being generous to others.
It's not right to say this. If it weren't for Qiao Yu, it wouldn't have been possible for him to make this money...
Okay, Zheng Xiwen felt confused, but fortunately, Qiao Yu was no longer worried about the bonus. Instead, focus on the next action.
"It's almost five o'clock. Since these trading platforms are so happy to give money, this statement needs to be changed. Let's write at the invitation of the three cryptocurrency platforms and help them do security tests at 10 o'clock this morning. Since they are all future funders, they still have to give the face they should give. You are right, Uncle Zheng." Zheng Xiwen nodded quickly.
As a shameless person, he has always been in charge of contacting each other, and he has thought of many ways to prove his identity.
If Qiao Yu had collected the money, he would really feel that he was too presumptuous. "That's it, hey, Uncle Zheng, you are good at everything, you are so shameless. Let me tell you, business matters are shameless and hurt money!" Qiao Yu said angrily.
Zheng Xiwen pretended not to hear it.
"Go and go to bed. But you have to set an alarm clock tomorrow at 9 o'clock in the morning, but you have to get up and start preparing. The money has been collected, so you can't let the pigeons go."
"You go to bed now? Are you sure?"
"What are you doing if you don't sleep? Do you stay with them until 9 o'clock in the morning? Believe me, Uncle Zheng, everything in technical aspects is ready, there will be no problem. Oh, by the way, you really can't sleep yet. You have to apply for a live broadcast account for me first! I'll make it easier for me to do live broadcast tomorrow morning!"
Zheng Xiwen: "..."
…
Microsoft Headquarters Building, Washington, DC, USA.
After the release of the latest quantum chip in the morning, senior management has been analyzing when to restart the negotiations with Qiao Yu.
There is no way, if quantum hardware represents the future. But quantum simulation computing means the present.
The most important thing is to master quantum simulation computing so that you can develop related quantum resistance algorithms in a targeted manner. This is crucial for Microsoft's cloud services and Windows systems.
Or it is extremely important to all high-tech companies that rely on network survival.
After all, the reason for doing this is to add some bargaining chips to our own side, and it is not just a matter of breaking up.
Qiao Yu understands negotiation skills by studying game theory, but for these large companies who have been working in the high-end business world for decades, this is their compulsory course.
Not to mention that people pay attention to large legion combat. Negotiations have never been independent, but have drawn elite soldiers and powerful officers from countless departments to come up with ideas.
For example, legal affairs, finance, marketing, R&D, strategic planning...
Although this kind of remote conversation may be the senior vice president, these personnel will prepare all the materials in advance.
It's like a new quantum chip is released. How powerful is this quantum chip? It is a brand new technology, breakthroughs in materials science, and future standards...
The meaning to be expressed is that we are so strong in this research direction. The cooperation between the two parties is a strong alliance, not a unilateral donation, so there is no need to be so strong...
Even if we work together, you will make a profit. Our hardware, coupled with the software provided by China, can inevitably define the future of quantum computing, which is a win-win situation.
As for Google, the kind of native chickens and tiled dogs should not be served. So their cooperation is meaningless.
When there is a real negotiation, you can't say that, but that's probably what Microsoft wants to express.
Cooperation is necessary, but you must not be whatever you say. We have to discuss and take care of the interests of both parties.
The cards have been played out, so Microsoft certainly won’t rush to find Qiao Yu to continue discussing cooperation. It also takes time to observe the other party’s reaction to formulate a right negotiation strategy.
But obviously no one expected the other person to react so quickly!
Waited at around 3:00 in the afternoon.
Yes, after Zheng Xiwen found a way to contact those exchanges, Microsoft received the news in less than five minutes.
The speed of information flow between capital senior management is shocking. But actually this is very reasonable.
To put it bluntly, for the large capital in the United States, the long-term stable and high-profit high profits of high-tech companies are indeed very popular. The huge profits brought by cryptocurrency exchanges are also their favorites.
What's more, cryptocurrencies are also the product of technological development. It depends on the development of the Internet.
So the capital attached to high-tech companies is highly consistent with the capital that attracts money from cryptocurrency exchanges.
So when Jesse Powell just received the news, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella received the same news almost simultaneously.
Satia Nadella can naturally think of things that Jesse Powell can think of.
Is this a direct declaration of war?
To be honest, when Satya Nadella first felt confused when she first got the news. From his perspective, I can't think of it. How could that young man in China have such a strong spirit...
Before making a series of decisions, they also went through various research and judgment, and even made detailed portraits of Qiao Yu.
According to the professional's perspective, Qiao Yu prefers a profit-driven personality.
People with this personality should be extremely rational and will maximize their interests very rationally when making decisions.
They made a judgment and the introduction of new technologies would definitely attract Qiao Yu's attention. If both parties can cooperate equally and jointly formulate standards for quantum computing in the future, it will be in line with the principle of maximum interests between both parties.
They were even ready to take a step back if Qiao Yu's attitude softened.
As a result, the opponent chose a strategy of not retreating half a step, and even had a strong attitude of being eye-for-eye. Even the time is scheduled to be sure.
This is too obvious, and the other party doesn't plan to have a good talk with Microsoft at all. You must press Microsoft on one end, or even press their heads to let them accept the conditions.
This is really too much.
Satya Nadella couldn't figure out where Qiao Yu's confidence came from and chose to wait and see.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小�
Then he saw that at 4 pm, the three major cryptocurrency exchanges issued an announcement at the same time, inviting Qiao Yu's team to test the exchange's trading system at 10 o'clock tonight.
One hour later, the official website of Yanbei University responded, agreeing to the request of the three major cryptocurrency exchanges. Everything is designed as it is.
It seems that this is what was originally arranged.
So the executives who had not slept for almost the whole night last night were also called up to start a new round of emergency consultations!
…
"There is one question for this meeting. How far can Qiao Yu's team's quantum simulation algorithm achieve?"
Satia Nadella, sitting in the chief, look at the scientists at Microsoft Research with a calm face. "I remember clearly that at the last meeting, you told me that the factorization problem is completely different from Mason prime verification.
So being able to quickly calculate Mason prime numbers does not mean that relevant research and algorithms can pose too much threat to existing encryption systems such as blockchain technology, right?"
The conference room was quiet for a while, and Shen Zhe, a senior scientist at Microsoft Research Institute and executive vice president of Microsoft's artificial intelligence department, spoke.
"It is indeed the case in terms of technology. Simply put, Mason prime number verification is generally carried out through specific algorithms, such as Lucas-Lehmer test. We believe that the advantages of quantum simulation calculation are reflected in the efficiency of algorithms such as simulation and optimization.
But factorization of large numbers depends on the Shor algorithm. The calculation ideas and processing methods of the two can be said to be completely different. You can understand this way that the processing of Mason prime numbers is more of an optimization problem in quantum simulation calculation."
Shen Zhe explained it very professionally, but this obviously does not satisfy decision makers. "Then I would like to ask you, Shen, why can they conduct transaction security testing for the cryptocurrency trading market so confidently? Do you think that in such a short period of time, their technology has made another breakthrough?" Shen Zhe only felt that it was a big deal.
To be honest, he is becoming increasingly dissatisfied with this stubborn Indian CEO.
This preset problem is obviously a rhythm of wanting to pass the blame.
He is just a scientist, and of course he can only judge and analyze problems based on what the other party has published. But he is not a business or academic spy.
The whole world knows that Qiao Yu's research team is doing scientific research very quickly, especially in mathematics, which can even be said to be unreasonable.
Rimann guessed that it would be solved, and he would not share the specific research content with him. How could he know that there were no hidden research results before?
So Shen Zhe directly pushed the problem back with a cold face.
"Mr. Nadella, I can't answer this question. The research results of any unit cannot be fully announced to the public. It's like our Microsoft Research Institute cannot tell all the research outside. This is basic common sense."
But Satya Nadella did not seem to feel the unhappiness in Shen Zhe's tone, but continued to ask back: "So you can't be sure whether the other party has mastered the technology that can pose a threat to the existing encryption system? You just need to tell me yes or no!"
Shen Zhe was silent for two seconds, then nodded, and replied simply: "Yes."
But he couldn't help but add: "But no one knows this question except themselves."
Satya Nadella ignored this sentence and looked at others and asked, "Everyone has heard it, so I believe everyone has understood the problem we are facing now.
What we need to discuss is what choice should we make if Qiao Yu's team has mastered the technology that can threaten the existing encryption system."
After a silence in the conference room, someone said, "I am sorry, Mr. Nadra, if this happens, we have no choice.
Quantum hegemony is not a fabrication, but a real existence. Before we really face quantum attacks, all the related adversarial researches cannot guarantee that they can defend against attacks launched through quantum technology.
So these all require time to be spent on research after the technology appears. And our real problem is that from the perspective of the general environment, what we lack most now is time."
Well, the environment...
To be honest, Satya Nadella likes this statement.
It is not Microsoft that lags behind, it is the general environment.
Follow this topic, we can extend a lot of discussion.
For example, why can't China be as obedient as old Europe and honestly play the role it should have played in the world's supply chain.
There is no doubt that this is the fundamental reason why the current environment is not friendly to them, and Satya Nadella even feels that this is the fundamental reason why the world is becoming increasingly chaotic.
"But this is just the worst possibility! It is also possible that as Shen said, they did not master this technology, they were just bluffing..."
"Correction, Mr. Nadella, all my speeches have never said that the other party was bluffing. The opinion I have always expressed is that based on the academic content he said at the report meeting and the release of new Mason prime numbers, it cannot prove that they master the technology that threatens the current encryption system."
Every meeting is recorded and archived, and his speech cannot be tampered with, which is a matter of principle. And he wasn't at ease with Satya Nadella's character.
In history, senior engineers at Microsoft Research Institute took the blame for wrong decisions at senior level. And he didn't want to take the blame for anyone.
Regardless of whether Satya Nadella said this or not, he would not accept any statement that distorts his meaning.
Satya Nadella glared at Shen Zhe who interrupted his speech, and suddenly realized that it was true that Chinese people were in trouble!
"Okay, then if the other party is just bluffing, although the possibility seems to be very small...but two negotiation plans still need to be formulated. The only principle that needs to be determined is that we can not lead, but we must not fall behind!"
