1991 Starting from the core

Zhang Yitang didn't stay in Su Yuanshan's office for long. After all, he just came to visit as a courtesy this time.

After sending him downstairs, Su Yuanshan picked up a bicycle from the nearby carport and rode towards the old office building.

Yuanxin's bicycles have been in the park for ten years. In the past ten years, everyone from Chen Jing to Duan Yong to Su Yuanshan, to the restaurant boy who delivers lunch boxes and the cleaning lady, all like it very much. Even the leaders of the province accompanied the big leaders. During the inspection, he also praised Yuanxin’s bicycles and asked if this could be expanded to the entire city...

Therefore, Yuanxin established a small team at the beginning of the year to solve bicycle public travel solutions.

But in Su Yuanshan's view, this kind of public bicycles led by government departments are two different things from shared bicycles... But he never thought that he would push shared bicycles because of this. After all, that thing... How should I put it? On the one hand, it wasn't the right time, but on the other hand, he was really frightened by the last bit of chicken on the shared bicycle.

Greeting the employees along the way, Su Yuanshan and Lin Kelin rode half a circle around the artificial lake, and finally stopped at the door of Pandora.

"Mr. Shan, are there ducks in this lake?"

After parking the car in a carport by the lake, Lin Kelin looked through the reeds at the waterbirds playing in the center of the lake and asked curiously.

Su Yuanshan was speechless, and suddenly thought of Ye Rudai asking herself the same question ten years ago...

"It's Yuanyang."

"By the way, you can go chat with the secretarial team here later and get familiar with it. I'll go talk to Mr. Xi for a while."

Su Yuanshan smiled slightly, turned and walked towards the office.

——Han Yiyi originally came to be Wen Xiaoqian’s successor as his secretary, but after Wen Xiaoqian left and the entire office underwent personnel adjustments, Han Yiyi temporarily took charge of the North Star chairmanship. Therefore, the responsibility of the personal secretary temporarily fell on Lin Kelin.

Anyway, it has something to do with him.

And in a sense, Lin Kelin's entry into his secretarial team also showed Yuanxin's attitude towards talents on the island, which is to "open the door" - in fact, judging from Chen Jing's resume, Yuanxin He has long been a pacesetter in the United Front.

…

"Why are you here?"

"I'll ride my bike."

Su Yuanshan's nonsensical answer made Xi Xiaoding laugh. He stood up from the boss's chair and looked back out the window: "Aren't you hot in such a big sun?"

"Fortunately, don't you have air conditioning here? Besides, the trees on the roadside can provide shade... and there isn't that much sun." Su Yuanshan bent down and poured himself a glass of water.

He was riding a bicycle all the way here. Although he was riding slowly, he was still sweating a little. It seemed that the weather in the provincial capital in September was indeed not suitable for people like him to exercise...

Xi Xiaoding smiled and shook his head, walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Brother, it's up to you to present the award." Su Yuanshan raised his neck and took a sip of water, then turned and looked at Xi Xiaoding with a smile: "After all, you are the chief scientist of Yuanxin."

"You mean Polaris?" Xi Xiaoding was startled, then shook his head immediately: "Don't look for me, I won't accept this job."

"Although we have done a lot of cover-ups, everyone knows that this award was created by Yuanxin... Then who will come if you don't come?"

"You come."

"I have already been responsible for the notification. If I award the award again, would it be a bit too much? And don't forget, you are the chairman of the Yuanxin Science and Technology Committee..."

Xi Xiaoding didn't answer at all: "Don't forget, you are a Nobel Prize scholar."

"What's the Nobel Prize? Next year's Polaris CS Prize is yours."

"..." Xi Xiaoding was speechless for a long time, then thought about it again, frowned slightly, looked at Su Yuanshan, and said seriously: "Xiaoshan, don't mess around. Since we are going for fairness in this award... then... Be sure not to give or ask for anything.”

"Correction, you take whatever you want." Su Yuanshan chuckled, turned around and sat down on the sofa, and then looked at Xi Xiaoding with a smile: "I won't say that fairness is always relative... words that don't suit my status. . But there is no need for us to belittle ourselves in order to impose so-called fairness."

"There are only two schools in China that are good at artificial intelligence. To be precise, there are only two classes...the other class teacher won the Turing Award."

"Let's not talk about whether the Turing Award is fair or not, nor anything else... let's just talk about the students in these two classes, which one is the best? Or if we don't say it will offend people, let's talk about whether the two are similar?"

Xi Xiaoding: "..."

The two schools Su Yuanshan refers to are T University and Electronic Science and Technology. And the two classes... are naturally the Seat Class of the Electrical Engineering Department and the Yao Class of T University.

In the field of computer science, especially in the field of artificial intelligence, these two classes represent the highest level in this country - objectively and fairly, because there is a world-class artificial intelligence laboratory behind them, the level of the first class may not be as good as the previous one. Be a little stronger.

This can be seen from the score collection of the two classes - in the same area, the threshold score of the Xi class is one point higher than that of the Yao class.

As we all know, the boss of Yao class is the winner of the Turing Award in 2000.

So far, Mr. Xi’s highest honor is the Outstanding Scientist awarded by ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) last year.

As for the Turing Award... According to Mr. Xi, he is still too young.

But Su Yuanshan thinks this is wrong. In previous editions of the Polaris Award, although they would consider deliberately "colliding" with those well-known awards, it is essentially an award that "checks for omissions and fills in gaps."

The phenomenon of seniority ranking for the Turing Award is too serious, so let Polaris come first.

For example, for this year's Polaris Computer Science Award winner, Barbara Liskov, Su Yuanshan remembered that it was her turn to receive the Turing Award next year...but the old lady was born in the 40s.

"Look, do you have nothing to say?" Su Yuanshan glanced at him: "Do you look down on the Polaris Award?"

Xi Xiaoding immediately couldn't laugh or cry: "How can I?"

"That's it." Su Yuanshan put down the water glass and said with a smile: "Senior brother, don't worry about it. It's most appropriate for you to hand out this award."

"Then there's a problem. I can give it to you this year." Xi Xiaoding knew that he couldn't defeat Su Yuanshan, so he shook his head: "What about next year? I can't give it to myself, right?"

"Well, it means you promised that you will win the award next year?"

"...Holy crap? Didn't you say that?" Xi Xiaoding's eyes widened immediately.

Su Yuanshan laughed loudly: "Senior brother... As an award that will be handed down for a hundred years or even longer... I think if some anecdotes can be left in the early days, it will undoubtedly increase its topicality - okay, Even if we don’t talk about topicality, when later generations of scientists yearned for Polaris, they occasionally mentioned Polaris’s early awards, and there were cases where the award recipients gave them to themselves..."

"Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely smile knowingly after hearing this, and I would also think that the presenter of the award is really awesome and magnanimous."

Su Yuanshan looked at Xi Xiaoding as he spoke: "Senior brother, in my eyes, you have always been awesome and magnanimous."

Xi Xiaoding thought about Su Yuanshan's words for a few seconds, and finally became speechless.

After a moment, he shook his head and pointed at Su Yuanshan, with a look of helplessness on his face, but he smiled again: "You... okay, I'm convinced by you."

The two people laughed at the same time.

"By the way, do you think there is a high chance of a collision with the Nobel Prize this time?"

After laughing, Xi Xiaoding looked exploratory again.

He and Su Yuanshan came up with this North Star, and the two of them had the same idea at the beginning. In order to "open up their reputation", it is very necessary to "touch the porcelain" for the Nobel Prize first - although this seems a bit utilitarian, it is still It is a tribute to and encouragement to science, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Therefore, when the two people combined the candidates, they considered the factors of competing for the Nobel Prize. Moreover, the physicists recommended by Su Yuanshan are also two scholars of the Polaris Physics Award.

But as we all know, the Nobel Prize... has always been known for its elusiveness - unless there is an extremely significant discovery that changes and verifies the theory, no one knows which one will be selected.

"I don't know. Anyway, it's just a matter of luck... It depends on whether we are lucky or not." Su Yuanshan looked calm.

But in my heart, there was a strong feeling... that some evil plot had succeeded.

As far as he knew, although the Nobel Prize was only opened in October, the list should have been determined about a month earlier - in other words, the Nobel Prize list had already been determined when the Polaris Prize was announced.

So now... I guess the Nobel Prize Committee will feel more uncomfortable looking at their own list than eating a fly - if they mind.

But Su Yuanshan is not entirely sure, because he has already joined the first team with graphene. What if the risk of the Nobel Prize changes?

"Then we have to wait for the Nobel Prize to open the box." Xi Xiaoding also knew that he and Su Yuanshan could "guide" or even "dominate" the list of the Polaris Prize in this first session, but the Nobel Prize... is purely based on luck.

…

One month later.

Yuanxin’s autumn conference this year is still scheduled for October 4th, and Duan Yongping will host the launch.

After several years of iteration, the Vidoo series of mobile phones now includes Vidoo 8S.

Due to the advent of Apple's iPhone, Vidoo mobile phones are no longer as shabby as they were in the past few years, and it has also inspired new vitality and vitality in the product.

In the past two years, both the operating system team and the chip team have grown rapidly under Duan Yongping's constant urging and encouragement. Relying on the support from the original YX architecture and Kirin teams, Yuanxin's YX architecture team Xuanwu has changed from its original It was limited to tinkering with the Kirin chip and made drastic architectural adjustments.

Vidoo8S is equipped with the XW5003, a low-power mobile chip designed by the Xuanwu team using the latest large and small core architecture.

Judging from the tests before the launch, the XW5003 series chips far exceed the current public version of the Kirin 7100 series chips in the market in terms of energy consumption ratio and absolute performance. A4 series chips.

Therefore, this battle was hailed by Duan Yongping as the battle for Yuanxin to return to the performance throne.

Since it is a battle for the throne, preparations must be made.

…

"Now I kind of regret fixing the press conference on the 4th..."

In Su Yuanshan's office, he hung up the video call his wife sent him when he took his daughter and son to the capital to accompany his grandparents and watch the crowds of people on the Great Wall...

He Wei, who was sitting opposite him, pursed her lips and smiled: "Mr. Ye is in the capital, right?"

"Well, in Badaling... I don't know why I went to Badaling. The crowd was so crowded." Su Yuanshan sighed, looked at He Wei, and complained: "You said the same is true for Mr. Duan. He can just work overtime alone." , and you still have to pull me up..."

"Ah, you too……"

He Wei coughed.

As an executive who has worked her way up from the bottom, she naturally knows... In the eyes of leaders, working overtime is nothing. The bigger the boss, the more motivated he is when working overtime, but the employees at the bottom...

Everyone is paid, so who wants to work overtime?

Of course, Yuanxin's National Day overtime work is actually regarded as paid leave, and the salary is sufficient - but there are only three long holidays a year, May Day, National Day, and Spring Festival. It just so happens that May Day and National Day are both the eve of the press conference...

It seems that there is no problem in taking time off, not to mention that there is no delay in rest time, and you can get extra salary. But if you adjust your leave, others won’t...

Not everyone is willing to take that money.

"Okay, no ink. How are you preparing?"

After Su Yuanshan finished complaining, he looked at He Wei.

He knew that the main reason why Duan Yongping pulled him was to let him say hello to the Internet and social media - of course, this was the excuse on the surface. In fact, it might be that Duan felt that pulling him would make him feel more at ease. .

And as a close comrade, how could he have the nerve to refuse Lao Duan's request...

So, after personally greeting several social media bosses and saying that this press conference was very important, Su Yuanshan still called He Wei.

"Everything is ready."

He Wei's words are concise and to the point.

Su Yuanshan nodded.

He always felt at ease when He Wei was doing things.

"However, when we signed contracts with several operators in North America... we encountered some minor troubles." He Wei thought for a while and then said: "I'm not sure this is a purely commercial move. , or a trend..."

"Well..." Su Yuanshan took a gentle breath, and then sighed.

"Sometimes, don't think so much... At the level of national interests, we will inevitably become pawns and bargaining chips..."

Su Yuanshan shook his head as he spoke.

Although he was sighing, his eyes didn't show much emotion.

After all... he knew that Wall Street was almost at the end of its rope.

The chief economic adviser of the United States has summoned major banks to discuss countermeasures. This also means that the subprime mortgage crisis has begun to be officially put on the table and has become an unavoidable fact.

To save the crisis, it is inevitable to seek help from all sides.

The purpose of making things difficult for Yuan Xin at this time is just to give him a bigger bargaining chip when discussing transactions and help in the future.

This kind of thing is well known in the United States.
