"Is it really that serious?" Officials from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology still didn't believe it.
The quantum physicist said: "According to my observation, there are many representatives from various countries coming this time. In particular, I also met some faces from the United States, all of whom are famous figures in the scientific community and computer field."
"I think it won't be long before someone in the United States will recognize the red letter standard."
"Okay, I understand, please report the details."
…
The closing ceremony of the conference is being held at the venue of the China Quantum Computer Conference.
Huo Wenguo, president of the China Computer Association, stood on the stage with a red face. Under the stage were representatives from various countries and institutions.
This is the first time that so many representatives have participated in the event they organized, and many of them are from top international scientific research institutions and multinational companies!
"This society meeting was very successful, especially on quantum computer standards. Most of the participants agreed with us and adopted the standards of the Red Letter Group."
"We warmly welcome institutions, companies, and universities that recognize us and are interested in conducting technical exchanges..."
Huo Wenguo said a lot, but the core of it was just one sentence. If these representatives could publicly express their recognition of Hongxin’s quantum computer standards and unite with the Chinese computer industry, they would be able to get some help in quantum computer technology.
This is not to give them free benefits, but once these countries and regions adopt China's standards, China will be able to control the core technology of this industry, just like the giant American computer companies, and gain more Benefit.
The meeting ended successfully. The China Computer Association also issued a press announcement specifically for this purpose. It wrote a lot and specifically stated that more than 200 companies, universities, and scientific research institutions participated in the meeting this time!
This number has reached three-fifths of the previous supercomputing conference held in the United States!
"Three out of five! Look, these people regard our words as nonsense!" At the IEEE Association office, Chairman Lancelot was furious!
In the office, he scattered documents all over the floor, all of which were information and reports about the Chinese Quantum Computer Association.
"Mr. Chairman, although they claim that there are so many representatives attending the conference, there are not many participants from the United States. They are all small countries that have good relations with China, as well as scientific research institutions in Europe." Vice Chairman Toland Bell He comforted, "This will not have much impact on us."
"Not big?" Lancelot scolded, "If it were before, there would never have been so many bastards who dared to go to China to participate in the conference! If we let them get bigger this time, our lives will be difficult in the future!"
"I'm afraid it already is." At this time, Lancelot's assistant said with a grimace, "I just received the news that the British ARM company said that it will adopt the quantum computer standard of the Red Letter Group for scientific research and product development."
"In addition to them, there are also the Institute of Atomic Energy in France, the Superconducting Quantum Circuit Laboratory in the Netherlands, the German Quantum Technology Research Center, the University of Innsbruck in Austria... and our quantum research team at the University of Maryland in the United States, and the Superconducting Quantum Circuit at Yale University. Sixty-eight companies, scientific research institutions and universities, including the laboratory and the University of California, Santa Barbara, have publicly stated that they will use the quantum computer standards announced by the China Computer Association and developed by the Red Letter Group.”
When the assistant thought, Lancelot's expression changed from angry at the beginning to numbness and disappointment. From the list he read, the world's most cutting-edge research centers in the quantum field basically recognized the Red Letter's standards.
This shows that the IBM company standards they published have been completely abandoned! Whatever they worry about will happen, and it is not the Hongxin Group that becomes a joke in the end, but themselves!
"This... they actually admitted it publicly! They admitted it publicly!" Tolan Bell was comforting Lancelot just now, but now he can't believe it!
These people really ignored the international standards they issued, but recognized the standards of the Red Letter Group! He felt that under the authority of the association, his face was being trampled mercilessly by the Hongxin Group, even being rubbed on the ground!
"You still underestimate them too much!" Tolan Bell sighed in his heart. I am afraid that after this incident, the association's reputation and industry status will be greatly reduced.
Moreover, the aftermath of this incident has just begun!
ACM, Walter's situation was no better than theirs, if not worse. Because in addition to those organizations supporting the standards of Hongxin Group, there are also great doubts within the association.
Due to their restrictions this time, many American companies and scientific research institutions did not attend the meeting, but they were also paying attention to the actions of the Red Letter Group.
When they discovered that the other party actually had quantum computer technology that was far superior to IBM, and could be the first to launch a commercial quantum computer, they became anxious!
Whether it is market competition or scientific research competition, we are all sailing against the current. If we do not advance, we will retreat! Everyone has rushed to the front. Of course, they cannot sit still and wait for death. They also want to take the initiative to contact the Hongxin Group to ensure that they will not be eliminated by the times.
Therefore, letters of protest were sent to the headquarters of the Association for Computing Machinery, and those large companies even forcefully requested the association to reconsider the quantum computer standard.
This gave Walter a headache. Before the external things were resolved, the internal situation became a mess.
"Mr. Walter!" Outside the door, Pritt, a representative of IBM and a member of the Management Committee of the Association for Computing Machinery, arrived.
His face doesn't look good either, and IBM is under a lot of pressure. Some association members even publicly questioned IBM's manipulation of the voting results and demanded an investigation!
"I have received a lot of questioning letters and reports, all about IBM's quantum computer standards. What do you think?" Walter asked.
Plit took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "After serious discussions within our company, we believe that our quantum computer standards may...maybe...have some shortcomings and need to be improved."
After he said this, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength and did not say another word.
Walter understood what he meant, IBM was admitting defeat! Faced with pressure from within the industry and the technological leadership of Hongxin Group, they gave up their own standards and adopted the standards of Hongxin Group!
What a travesty that the world's largest computer business machine company, which claims to be at the forefront of the computer industry, has made such compromises and concessions!
"Hmph!" Walter snorted coldly, "How many resources did the association use to get you voted for? Now you just give up? How will the association end?"
Plit understood what he meant, but Walter was unwilling to give in and wanted to make up for the association's losses. He said helplessly: "IBM has a financial sponsorship for the association. If nothing happens, it will be received in three months."
