Wen Liang readily accepted Director Wu's invitation and immediately left the meeting room together.
Originally, people like Wen Liang and Wu Dong should have left the meeting long ago.
If it remains in power, the two sides will lose their buffer space for cooperation and negotiation.
Speaking of which, Wen Liang was quite generous to the slumped new chairman. He had nothing to do in the past half hour. He could only be said to have been in a daze, but he did not show any impatience.
With Mr. Wen's current status, we can't say he earns hundreds of millions per minute, but he can also say he earns billions per day.
half an hour……
Very valuable.
The departure of Wen Liang and Wu Dong only caused a slight pause in the discussions in the conference room.
Subsequently, Lixia quickly put forward two new cooperation requirements.
"We hope that your company's server products can be considered to be equipped with our company's upcoming star service system."
"We hope that your company's supercomputer will be open to our company for use and we will charge according to the market price."
The senior executive from Weiluo Fang thought for a moment.
Again, we must look at Weiluo and Liu Baye's group separately.
There is something special about Weiluo. The supercomputing power it currently possesses is probably the first echelon in the country, and can even be compared with the official supercomputing power.
Another fact is that in the latest edition of the world's top500 supercomputers in 2019, Weihui manufactured 173 units, once again ranking first in the world. The number of supercomputers it manufactured exceeded America's total of 116 units in the top500 ranking.
quantity.
Among the world's 30 most powerful supercomputers, 9 have been delivered.
Germany’s most powerful supercomputer ‘Super Munich-NG’ (SuperMUC-NG), designed and manufactured by Weiluo, ranks ninth among the world’s most powerful supercomputers.
And, this year, the top500 officially became the "petaflop" club, which means that the world's 500 most powerful supercomputers have all reached a petaflop floating-point computing capability.
In other words, the total computing power of the supercomputer designed and manufactured by Weiluo is as low as 173 petaflops, which is ridiculously powerful anyway.
At the same time, it was the fifth time that Weiluo won the annual total quantity share championship among China’s top 100 supercomputers.
In contrast, in this field that has gradually received less attention from domestic public opinion in the past 15 years, only 7 units of Juchang are on the list. Moreover, the domestic manufacturers that are behind the decline include Inspur, which manufactured 71 units, and Sugon, which manufactured 63 units.
.
Didn't you expect that?
In short, Bolang, whose current demand for computing power is extremely terrifying, cannot use Wilt's own supercomputer.
If Bolang builds it himself, I really don’t know how many years it will take to take shape.
Therefore, Bolang is still looking forward to reaching a certain consensus on cooperation through friendly exchanges with the new team.
The senior executive of Weiluo Fang responded quickly. This time he did not agree directly, but said more euphemistically: "Our company's share in the general server market is not ideal, and we have initially planned to focus on the high-end server market."
The implication is that the threshold is higher.
The server market mainly consists of three major series: Linux series systems, Unix series systems, and Windows Server series systems.
Broken down, the Linux series is basically dominated by Redhat's RHEL, while Unix is HP-UX by Hewlett-Packard, AIX by IBM, and Solaris, which was prefixed with Oracle after being acquired by Oracle in 2009. These major systems have flourished in many aspects.
Needless to say about Windows.
Among them, Solaris is worth mentioning. It was once the most widely used and commercially successful Unix system.
The higher threshold for the meaning of wilted dialect means that Bolang's star service system must be at least comparable to RHEL, HP-UX, and AIX.
What the server operating system values more is the completeness of its extended service ecosystem, stable operation capabilities and other aspects.
The high-end market generally also requires the ability to provide customized services.
Compared with the application ecology of personal computers, each has its own barriers.
Quite not easy.
In this regard, Lixia seriously emphasized: "We just hope to have the opportunity to compete together and let our strength speak for itself."
"That's no problem." The executive from Weiluofang said happily.
Then he mentioned supercomputers: "Our company owns a lot of supercomputers, and they are always open to cooperative users. I wonder if your company has other needs."
Lixia was not surprised. The smooth negotiation does not mean that the other party is stupid. She said frankly: "Our company needs a long-term and stable supply of large-scale computing power. If your company currently has a supercomputer with a total computing power similar to the public market data, our company will
About 70% of the computing power is needed.”
Another executive from Weiluo Fang interjected in surprise: "So many!"
Then the executive made a gesture of apology: "Sorry, I am more familiar with this part of the business."
"As far as I know, your company has long-term leased 35% of my country's supercomputing power, including the Tianhe-2 supercomputing center that has not yet been officially put into operation..."
"Our company's supercomputing power accounts for approximately 25% of the country's total public supercomputing power. According to your company's needs, the supercomputing power used by your company will exceed 52% of my country's total public supercomputing power!"
Finally, the executive said seriously: "It's not that our company is unwilling to cooperate, but it's absolutely impossible for our company to provide such a large amount of computing power now."
He was too smart to inquire why Bolang Group needed such terrifying supercomputing power and what project it was simulating.
Lixia was not surprised by this, saying: "We can increase the scale step by step, not all at once, and we can also carry out some cooperation on supercomputing construction."
"I understand." The senior executive from Weiluo Fang nodded, "Theoretically there is no problem in this regard."
It's just in theory, because supercomputing power is actually a kind of strategic resource, because things that can simulate calculations are relatively... advanced.
For example, what can be disclosed include: meteorological extreme climate, natural disasters, biology and medicine, wave values, atmospheric clouds, fluid mechanics applied to artificial satellites, etc.
There are many things that have not been made public but can be guessed. Just give a random example: missile trajectory simulation and nuclear bomb explosion numerical simulation.
If it's a small scale, it doesn't matter.
In fact, large-scale decline does not necessarily have the right to make independent decisions.
There are many uses for Bolang's rented supercomputers. In addition to extreme simulation tests of commercial projects, it is mainly used for simulation calculations in two major fields, materials and equipment manufacturing.
Whether it is Bolang's internal Bolang laboratory or other university cooperative experimental projects except for the two laboratories led by Zhang Yulin and Qin Zheng, Bolang has implemented a strong measure of scientific research projects: violent testing aesthetics.
To give a very simple example, according to the basic theories and inspirational research of some professors and Ph.D.s, it was discovered that a certain chemical material can be produced by a combination of certain five chemical elements.
The best combination is unknown.
The conventional method is: collision of everyone's thinking, previous experience, external experience, and cautious and frugal attempts.
The measures implemented by Bolang are: violent combination according to the basic inspiration research direction of Laozi.
Don't save money for me. If the real thing doesn't work, give me a supercomputer simulation. If it doesn't work ten times, try to ride the horse ten thousand times or one hundred thousand times.
Otherwise, why would Bolang continue to produce industry-leading results in a short period of time?
Awesome, right?
It's all money burning.
…………
When Lixia was negotiating cooperation with executives from the declining side on behalf of Bolang, Wen Liang and Director Wu were also communicating openly and honestly.
In the office of Chairman Weiluo, Director Wu personally made a cup of tea for Wen Liang and looked at Wen Liang with a smile: "Mr. Wen is probably a little confused."
"Yes." Wen Liang admitted frankly.
After taking a sip of hot tea, Wen Liang waited patiently for the next step, not in a hurry.
Director Wu gave it up: "I want to discuss some small cooperation with Mr. Wen first."
"Please speak." Wen Liang made a gesture.
Director Wu spoke in a gentle tone, neither too fast nor too slow: "In the conference room, I noticed that Mr. Wen, your assistant, Ms. Lixia, is smart, capable, and capable. I wonder if she can serve as my declining CEO and COO?"
Wen Liang was not stunned this time. He simply said bluntly: "Dr. Wu has made me more and more curious."
Director Wu answered truthfully: "The internal affairs of Weilan are quite complicated. We have discussed that we need a strong CEO and a COO who better understands the existing market rules."
"We want this person to be from the Bolang Group."
Wen Liang's face was clear, but he still said: "I'm even more confused."
He knew that Director Wu's mention of Li Xia was just a pretext, and he knew that Li Xia, as a gentle assistant, would not be able to take on the position of a declining CEO.
Director Wu directly gave the right of recommendation and initiative to Wen Liang.
But this cannot answer Wen Liang's doubts.
why?
"Mr. Wen should have inquired about my information through channels." Director Wu put down his teacup with a calm expression.
Seeing Wen Liang nod, Director Wu added: "I guess there should be no results."
Wen Liang nodded again.
Director Wu shook his head with some self-deprecation and smiled sadly: "That's the reason. There have been a lot of big and small things happening to state-owned assets this year..."
Compared with losing the position of chairman of this well-known large enterprise, everyone knows that returning state capital is the best way.
This is also what Mr. Wu meant.
Wen Liang couldn't get any information about him because he was just an ordinary person. He was so inconspicuous in a capital city where a brick could kill several high-ranking officials.
It would be better for the directors of important departments and bureaus of a series of important ministries and commissions such as the National Development and Reform Commission to dare to have people stand guard at the door of their offices.
Although Director Wu, who is now in his fifties, has no great future, he does not want to waste time in the position of languishing chairman. This is not a state-owned enterprise, right?
The most embarrassing thing is that Director Wu was assigned not long before the director of state-owned assets went to the specified location for investigation. He was the deputy director and had to sign off from the director.
Now it can't be seen from the outside, and it's a mess inside. Director Wu is worried that he will become a green onion.
It can only be said that competition is everywhere.
Fewer people and fewer competitors.
There are a lot of people who are happy that Director Wu has been tied to the position of acting chairman of the board.
Wen Liang thought about it for a long time, and then confessed frankly: "There is nothing I can do."
"Mr. Wen misunderstood." Dong Wu shook his hand, and the smile on his face returned to normal, "It is difficult to disassociate the affairs of the decline from your company. All departments have high hopes for the current decline, hoping that the decline can live up to its name.
"
"Considering the need not to invest resources repeatedly, Weilui needs to carry out open and honest cooperation with your company, and also needs to draw on your company's experience in opening up overseas markets to make Weilui's overseas business truly competitive in the market..."
Wen Liang listened carefully.
Director Wu continued without hesitation: "In addition, because your company is a role model, the new senior management team and I agree that we should learn from your company, rectify the internal situation, and develop externally..."
"This is in great need of an experienced and powerful external figure to join."
Having said this, Director Wu looked at Wen Liang: "Since your company took the initiative to contact our company a while ago, I have been waiting for your arrival, Mr. Wen. If we want to cooperate with your company, we need your nod."
"There is an additional thing. There are several parties who hope that the decline can fundamentally change, that is, change the name of the group. Someone clearly mentioned to me that they can ask for your opinion."
Wen Liang: "...I won't say it before, but this last one is too much. Who is to blame for this?"
Director Wu was slightly surprised: "Mr. Wen should know better than me."
Wen Liang did not dwell on this topic.
He knew something. If he was an old man, yesterday's inquiring about information would have been fruitless, and he probably wouldn't have reached such a high level.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Liang expressed his position: "We also look forward to cooperating with your company."
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Director Wu didn't talk nonsense when he saw this, and directly extended his hand.
Later, Wen Liang gave his own opinion: "Lishu is not suitable to serve as your company's CEO and COO rashly. Mr. Tang Pu, our co-founder and co-CEO of the application Internet ecosystem, should be able to concurrently hold the position of your company."
"That's the best!" Wu Dong was almost overjoyed. This meant that he had tied Bo Lang or Wen Liang on board, which was far beyond his expectation.
Of course Wen Liang knew this, so he reciprocated the favor.
After all, Director Wu has made it clear that he will clean up the inside of Weiluo. This is also one of Wen Liang's goals. He wants to completely eliminate Liu Baye's influence in Weiluo!
If Tang Pu comes over, nothing will be a problem.
Although Tang Pu has gradually kept a low profile internally and externally this year, he is the only boss who can compete with Mr. Ze in terms of management and execution capabilities.
The fact that Tang Pu and Wen Liang were classmates also made Wu Dong feel Bo Lang's sincerity.
After all, Director Wu just hopes to reverse the declining situation as soon as possible, and at most leave before the end of the one-year operation supervision and inspection work of state-owned assets on the declining China Science and Technology Holdings.
It should be mentioned that Director Wu is not only the acting chairman of Weiluo, but also the acting chairman of Guoke Holdings. He is also the acting chairman of a series of related companies, holding many concurrent identities.
The first prerequisite for getting rid of all this and returning to state-owned assets is to reverse the declining situation. Otherwise, why should he do it?
Finally, Wen Liang thought about it for a while and said, "As for the name change of your company, I am not in a position to get involved."
"Mr. Wen..." Director Wu was puzzled.
Seeing this, Wen Liang made a gesture and said helplessly: "In my humble opinion, your company can consider it from people's perspective. After all, your company was and is still the light of the nation in people's eyes, and now it has returned to state control."
Director Wu sighed a little in his heart. His thoughts were completely opposite to Wen Liang's. At this moment, he suddenly understood the difference: "Thank you, Mr. Wen."
"Dr. Wu is so polite." Wen Liang said with a chuckle.
Afterwards, the two chatted about the customs and customs of the north and south, and mentioned the climate difference between the south and the north.
It was quite a pleasant conversation.
From the casual chat, Mr. Wu got a deeper understanding of some of Wen Liang’s unique styles, such as truly putting people first.
This alone is the main difference between the two.
As a relatively low-ranking member of the system, he doesn't understand the necessity of maintaining the correctness of ZZ even on the surface, so what else can he talk about.
No matter how complicated the situation is and how blatant the line competition is, at least the upper management still maintains their beliefs unchanged, especially Ping Zong and every previous group, their beliefs are unlikely to change.
Then, there is no doubt that the public perspective is the most important starting point.
If you can't put people first and serve others, you must at least be passable on the surface, otherwise you should go home and sell sweet potatoes on horseback!
In the end, it took almost a whole morning for Bolang and Weiluo to reach a simple cooperation memorandum, and also reached a very complicated cooperation content.
Before noon, Wen Liang and Director Wu signed a memorandum of cooperation and shook hands and took photos - this was a request made by Director Wu, and Wen Liang did not mind this.
…………
Later at 3 p.m., one hour before the closing of the centralized auction of Hong Kong stocks, Weiluo Group released the latest news through multiple official channels. Naturally, it also released a group announcement on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in accordance with the procedures.
The full text contains more content.
There are:
"The board of directors of the company hereby announces that on October 10, 2013, in accordance with the collective resolution of the company's shareholders' meeting, the company's name will be revised within fifteen working days, and a separate announcement will be made at that time..." 1
"According to the resolution of the company's shareholders' meeting held on October 10, 2013, we will start a long-term strategic cooperation with Bolang Group from now on, and both parties will become mutual strategic partners.
It is resolved that starting from 4:00 pm on October 10, 2013, Mr. Tang Pu, co-founder of Bolang Group and co-CEO of Bolang Group’s application Internet ecosystem, will concurrently serve as CEO and COO of the company;
The Board of Directors believes that Mr. Tang Pu’s appointment as CEO and COO will improve the company’s operational health and inject new vitality into the company’s long-term business. Therefore, the Company believes that Mr. Tang Pu’s appointment as CEO and COO will be in favor of the company and its shareholders.
Overall benefit.”
Then comes the standard format name, date.
When the announcement was issued, Mr. Tang Pu, who had been confirmed as the new CEO and COO of Weiluo Group, was still in the Yangcheng Bolang Group headquarters building and had not yet packed his luggage.
He was not very confused.
After receiving the call from Wen Liang, Tang Pu just smacked his lips and said: "As expected of Mr. Wen, I am sitting at home and my life has been sold."
"What are you talking about? This is your chance!" Wen Liang said cheerfully.
Tang Pu also really admired Wen Liang for saying such a thing.
In short, Tang Pu has become the first person among the co-founder team of Bolang Group to leave the Yangcheng office for a long time.
All previous businesses established outside Yangcheng, including key subsidiaries, did not dispatch co-founders.
It can only be said that Wen Liang did not expect that the exception would come so quickly.
I didn't expect it to be so sudden.
However, this matter really shouldn't be in Bolang's interests too much.
It is really a rare opportunity that Wen Liang carefully selected and assigned to Tang Pu.
Although it is not uncommon to be the CEO of multiple companies, there are really not many people who have experienced such a huge decline. Having such an experience will help to put more burdens on Tang Pu in the future.
We won’t let Li Ze take the lead in everything.
On the other hand, Boss Lei is not bad either. He is concurrently the CEO of two companies, a listed company in Kingsoft and MI, a prosperous domestic mobile phone manufacturer...
There is no doubt that such an unusual and huge movement has swept the domestic and even foreign cyberspace in an extremely exaggerated manner.
It caused an uproar...

1: I originally wanted to use the folk music from that book, but it didn’t sound very good. I’d like to give it a name, thanks.
