"This is a good thing. Because we decided to sell high-precision equipment to Hongxin Group, members of the National Information Security Administration also issued a warning to us. Now we don't have to worry about this matter."
"It doesn't matter. As long as Hongxin Group wants to continue making computer chips, it must come to us."
…
"Hongxin Group gave up its photolithography machine purchase plan!" This news quickly spread in the computer industry.
"Hey, even Red Letter can't break the monopoly of the computer industry." Some people feel regretful. They thought that Red Letter could bring changes to this domestic industry.
"Hongxin is not stupid. Investing here is just like wasting money. There is no return!"
"It seems that Hongxin Group's computer research and development plan is going to die."
"Their other smart products are already great, and they have mastered virtual projection accessories, which are no less profitable than computers."
Every action of Hong Xin affects everyone's nerves. Some people see prospects, some see business opportunities, and some are looking for opportunities.
Now that Hongxin does not plan to develop computer chips, many companies and scientific research institutions are relieved, and finally do not have to face this terrible competitor.
Magic City, China Quantum Computer Research Institute. Lu Zixin and Dai Liangcai came here to visit together.
No one is allowed inside the institute, so they talked in the reception room outside.
"Mr. Lu, let me introduce you. This is Professor Zhu Huagui, a professor at Huaxia University of Science and Technology, an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, and the dean of the Shanghai Quantum Computer Research Institute." Dai Liangcai introduced a professor with thin hair to Lu Zixin.
Zhu Huagui is almost ten years older than Dai Liangcai, so he is considered his junior, but in terms of scientific research achievements, Zhu Huagui is no less than Dai Liangcai.
It can be said that before joining the Hongxin Group, Dai Liangcai's status in the scientific community was not as high as that of Zhu Huagui. It is because Hongxin Group has continuously developed epoch-making products that Dai Liangcai has also improved and become a highly respected senior professor in the entire scientific community.
"Hello, Dean Zhu." Lu Zixin shook hands with him and said, "I am Lu Yan, the CEO of Hongxin Group."
"Hello, hello!" Zhu Huagui shook hands with Lu Zixin and looked him up and down.
He said with emotion: "I always thought Mr. Lu was about the same age as me, but who knew he was so young! Amazing, amazing!"
"Thank you." Lu Zixin said with a smile, "Dean Zhu, Mr. Dai must have already discussed the purpose of our visit with you, right? Do you have any ideas?"
Zhu Huagui did not answer directly, but looked embarrassed and said, "Dai Lao did tell me, and I also talked with several vice presidents and directors of the institute."
"To be honest, we are very willing to cooperate with Hongxin Group to jointly develop quantum computers. After all, you are rich!"
"Haha." Lu Zixin smiled and said, "You should know that we at Hongxin are never stingy when it comes to investing in scientific research!"
"I know!" Zhu Huagui nodded, "I have two students who are engaged in research and development at Hongxin Group. They praise your group every day and want to lure me, a teacher, to Hongxin."
"You can come!" Dai Liangcai said quickly, "As long as you come, I guarantee that your treatment in Hongxin will be more than three times higher than here!"
"Dai Lao is right, our Hongxin Group respects scientific and technological talents very much." Lu Zixin quickly cooperated.
"Dai Lao, you have gone too far in poaching. I am the dean, who will be responsible for all the work here if I leave?" Zhu Huagui said speechlessly, "Besides, at my age, I don't care much about money and treatment. I just want to do the job at hand well.”
"Dean Zhu, are there any obstacles to cooperation?" Lu Zixin asked.
Zhu Huagui paused for a while and then said: "You two may not know much about our institute. I will explain it in detail here and you will know."
"Our Quantum Computer Research Institute was jointly established by the National Academy of Sciences, Huaxia University of Science and Technology and Keli Cloud. The main scientific researchers also come from these three places. Part of the research and development funds are allocated by the National Academy of Sciences and part are provided by Keli Group."
"So far, we have developed China's first quantum computer, although there is a certain gap compared with international counterparts. But we have unique technology patents in the world for quantum information transmission. We have launched quantum information encryption services , established a pilot quantum information network... "
He briefly explained it, and Lu Zixin understood it immediately. It would be okay if the main components of this institute were the National Academy of Sciences and Huaxia University of Science and Technology, and they could still talk about cooperation.
But this time it involves Keli Group, another major Internet giant in China, which involves issues of business competition. Keli Group has already achieved certain achievements in this field and will definitely not agree to the participation of Hongxin Group.
"Hua Gui, you are being unreasonable. Didn't you say before that we could conduct joint research and development?" Dai Liangcai asked. Keli Group is also one of the founding parties of the research institute, and he knows it.
"I didn't lie to you." Zhu Huagui said, "I will never let your trip go in vain."
"You know, although our institute is a joint venture between three institutions, quite a few of our researchers are from the National Academy of Sciences and Huaxia University of Science and Technology. If you want to establish a quantum research institute, I think I can provide some help."
"really?"
"of course it's true!"
…
Lu Zixin learned more about it and found out the reason behind it. The country has always attached great importance to the computer industry and has always emphasized the need to develop China's own core technologies such as computer chips.
Especially after the last time the United States imposed technical sanctions on China, Chinese senior officials directly instructed the National Academy of Sciences to increase investment in this area and promised to provide research and development funding subsidies.
Quantum computers are different from traditional computers. In this respect, there is no quantum computer that can be commercialized on a large scale in the world. If China can take the lead, it can achieve overtaking in the computer industry and break the international technology monopoly.
Now it happens that Hongxin Group wants to develop a quantum computer. Of course, the National Academy of Sciences strongly welcomes it. It immediately expressed through Zhu Huagui that it can provide help and even joint research and development.
As long as the Hongxin Group is determined, they can contribute people and even apply for national scientific research subsidies and other conditions.
Lu Zixin was overjoyed when he heard the news. Someone gave him a pillow just as he was about to fall asleep. Even if they cannot cooperate with the Quantum Computer Research Institute in Shanghai, as long as they find some professional talents, they can build a quantum computer research institute on their own.
Lu Zixin needs to stay for a few more days to discuss this matter and visit the Quantum Computer Research Institute here.
