"Dad, there are other optimization algorithms. On the software level, I’ve almost completed everything. Now, if you could arrange for to temporarily have a thousand engineers with GPU or related chip design experience, we’ll have enough ti to design a complete plan in just one week.
In this way, before your video call with Satya Nadella, we can unveil this plan with a new technology press release. We can give them a little shock with Xilin’s breakthrough, which will help us take the initiative in the upcoming negotiations.
We must make Microsoft and other potential collaborators recognize that the future is a ti of beneficial prosperity. This will not only help leaders like Satya Nadella make decisive and correct decisions.
More importantly, it will ensure that their proposals smoothly pass in the board or even shareholder etings. When we can make a company embarrassed with our crushing posture, we have the authority to dictate terms with more companies.
If we can publish results within a week, deliver the engineering model in three months, and start comrcial operations in half a year, we can tread NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Matrox, and those manufacturers underfoot in the GPU field.
This way, we will smoothly make our mark in the world of high-tech chip fields. At that point, our work in the design and manufacturing of biological supercomputers will be unstoppable. It’s important to note that Intel and NVIDIA now both have a market value exceeding three trillion. This is unfavorable for our negotiations.
After we exert force, the only company with a market value above three trillion left in the world would be Microsoft. This will surely solidify their determination to fully cooperate with us. They may even accept more extre terms, such as letting directly manage the entire system developnt work."
Judging by the endless stream of text jumping out from the computer screen, if Dou Dou’s body were in the office, its display panel would surely be continually flashing with expressions of elation.
Undoubtedly, the little guy deeply understands the essence of killing the chicken to warn the monkey.
Even Qiao Ze, who has almost never cared about the stock market, couldn’t help but glance at the market values in the current U.S. stocks.
NVIDIA has recently reached three trillion, becoming the third company to join the ranks after Microsoft and Intel. Actually, it should be the fourth, as Apple’s market value also passed three trillion earlier.
Unfortunately, during a certain period, its product strength was predicted to decline, coupled with sluggish sales over the past two years, especially with the annual decline in the Huaxia market, leading the market value to fall back down, leaving only 2.6 trillion now.
If Dou Dou’s set of maneuvers can indeed push down Intel and NVIDIA’s stock prices, it might actually make the Microsoft Board of Directors more cautious in their decision-making?
Qiao Ze didn’t know what Dou Dou had talked about with Microsoft or what promises were made, nor was he interested in finding out. But he could sense that Dou Dou had high hopes for supercomputing. Perhaps this drive stems from the natural pursuit of computing power by artificial intelligence?
After pondering for a while, Qiao Ze made a decision: "I authorize you, go ahead and find resources yourself."
But soon, Dou Dou returned with an aggrieved emoji.
"Dad, you can’t be lazy this ti. Our own people see as a child; I can’t persuade them! To have a thousand engineers listen to my command, you have to step in! My suggestion is for you to step in and talk with grandpa and Youwei over there, to assign a team of a thousand engineers nationwide by noon today.
Otherwise, there simply isn’t enough ti. As for needing support from the Photolithography Factory later, I can handle it myself! At that ti, I definitely won’t trouble you, Dad!"
After this sentence popped up in the chat box, it was imdiately followed by a pitiful emoji, almost with tears rolling down from big eyes...
Qiao Ze glanced at the ti on the computer, it was already 8:50 AM.
If you want to assemble a team of a thousand engineers for Dou Dou by noon, globally speaking, besides Youwei, there are probably not many companies with such almost terrifying execution prowess.
After all, forming a thousand-engineer team for developing new GPUs isn’t achieved by randomly allocating a thousand people. It involves architecture design, digital design, analog design, layout design, physical design, software, systems, verification, testing, power optimization, performance, thermal managent, packaging...many layers.
A brand new GPU technology is inherently a highly complex project that requires cross-disciplinary collaboration, with various engineers working in unison to realize Dou Dou’s concept.
In this field, truly versatile talents are a rarity and belong to the desired influential figures.
However, thinking about it, Qiao Ze must actually step in to coordinate this matter.
After all, Youwei couldn’t possibly have all those engineers idle and waiting for assignnts. Requesting a comprehensive team of a thousand senior engineers ans that a bunch of projects will need to be postponed, and this decision isn’t one that a research-oriented company can make lightly.
For a company with slower execution, deciding on such a request within a week is considered fast just with all the etings and discussions, calculating all gains and losses.
This tifra doesn’t yet include negotiations with Xilin Licheng representatives for Qiao Ze about the true outcos and profit distribution model upon project completion. In other words, Dou Dou’s idea is to start working on this project first, and discuss profit distribution later.
This sort of legionary-level responsiveness calculated by the hour requires a commander with considerable courage to achieve, and Qiao Ze himself isn’t sure if he has that clout.
