Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 163 HKUST Feixun's Artificial Intelligence Model
To be honest, Liu Jianhua and Chen Xiuli were both a little nervous.

The key point is that Chen Xiuli is fine, but Liu Jianhua is a veteran who has seen big scenes, but he can't help feeling a little nervous.

I don’t know who Hu Jiangshan is.

Although Liu Jianhua knew how old Hu Jiangshan was, he had never seen him in person.

Coupled with the rumors that Hu Jiangshan was so terrible and even absurd, people felt that he was some kind of monster.

But when the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Let’s get the person first.

A moment later, passengers whose flights had just landed came out of the exit.

Liu Jianhua held up the airport pick-up sign higher so that everyone could see it clearly.

Chen Xiu Li also stretched her neck and looked at every passenger who came out.

But Chen Xiu Li didn't know the other person, so she was just there to watch the fun.

Just then, someone came over.

It was a young man.

The other person was tall, clean and well-mannered.

But he is not only handsome, but also has a very unique and attractive temperament. He feels like a male star in a TV series.

No, he seems to be much more handsome than many male celebrities.

This person can't possibly be the big boss's son, right?

If his own son could grow up like this, the boss himself would wake up laughing.

Unexpectedly, the handsome man looked at the sign for the airport pick-up and said to Liu Jianhua, "Are you here to pick me up?"

Liu Jianhua and Chen Xiuli were both stunned.

Liu Jianhua couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Hu Jiangshan?"

"Yes, I am."

"...Ah, you, you are it, hello, hello, I am the administrative manager of the Shanghai branch of Hezhong Group, my last name is Liu, and my name is Liu Jianhua."

Liu Jianhua quickly shook hands with Hu Jiangshan and greeted him, then introduced Chen Xiuli.

Hu Jiangshan looked at Chen Xiuli and said, "Hello."

"Ah, hello, hello, welcome Mr. Hu."

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "I'm so sorry to bother you to pick me up. That's very thoughtful of you."

Liu Jianhua and Chen Xiuli looked at each other. They didn't behave like second-generation rich people at all. Instead, they were quite polite, like well-mannered social elites.

Chen Xiuli’s beautiful big eyes blinked again and again, as if saying, “Manager Liu, this is different from what you said!”
Liu Jianhua was also confused.

Not to mention Chen Xiuli, even Liu Jianhua was wondering if this was the eldest son of Hu Jiangshan?

This person is nothing like the legendary prodigal son who does all kinds of evil!

But the other party claimed that he was Hu Jiangshan. Liu Jianhua couldn't question him in public and even check his ID card, right?

Even if Liu Jianhua had eight guts, he wouldn't dare to do this.

Liu Jianhua had no choice but to say, "Mr. Hu, the car is in the parking lot. I'll take you there."

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Thank you for your help."

Liu Jianhua quickly pulled Hu Jiangshan's suitcase and walked in front.

Chen Xiuli looked at Hu Jiangshan, then quickly ran to Liu Jianhua and started chatting in a low voice.

"Manager Liu, he's so handsome! Is he really the son of the big boss?"

"Why? Shouldn't it be?"

"No, didn't you just say..."

Liu Jianhua looked at Hu Jiangshan calmly and interrupted Chen Xiuli: "Okay, it doesn't look fake."

What could Chen Xiuli say? Seeing Hu Jiangshan in such a state, she actually felt relieved.

Even if he is a playboy, loves to flirt with women and has a problematic behavior, at least he is good-looking.

To put it bluntly, even if he really wanted to...

Thinking of this, Chen Xiuli's face flushed.

She cursed herself inwardly, what was she thinking! She was really crazy!
A moment later, the three of them arrived at the parking lot and came to the car.

It was a Toyota Alphard.

Hu Jiangshan remembered that domestic cars were already very popular in his previous life.

It almost crushes Japanese, German and American cars to the ground.

In a few years, the market share of joint venture cars will drop sharply until it falls below 10%, and they will be barely surviving.

The high-end commercial vehicles used to pick up people are from brands such as BEV, Hongmeng Intelligent Driving, Ideal, and NIO.

When Hu Jiangshan sat in Toyota's Alpha again, he felt like he was entering a bare house.

Of course, objectively speaking, Alpha is not bad. The seat support is good and it is quite comfortable.

The car slowly drove out of the airport parking lot and onto the highway.

As mentioned earlier, Hu Jiangshan is very familiar with the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Even in 2018, there were actually not many changes.

After all, Shanghai is a very mature and developed city, and its infrastructure in all aspects was already very well developed even ten years ago.

So the scenery outside the car window is nothing good.

Of course, the Huangpu River and the Bund are still worth seeing, but Hu Jiangshan hasn't seen them for several years.

More than an hour later, we arrived at the InterContinental Hotel.

This is a high-end luxury hotel chain of the global chain.

Of course, there is nothing special about the hotel itself, the main thing is that the location is simply great.

This is the most prosperous area in Shanghai. Staying in a hotel like this, you can have a panoramic view of the Bund through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Liu Jianhua and Chen Xiuli together escorted Hu Jiangshan to the door of the room.

It is indeed a luxury suite of super high standards, and it is on a very high floor, with the best view and scenery.

Liu Jianhua said, "Mr. Hu, we have arranged a restaurant. Do you want to go eat now?"

Hu Jiangshan was stunned: "You guys also booked a hotel?"

"Of course. You have come from afar, so we must entertain you well."

It was already afternoon, and Hu Jiangshan had not eaten anything on the plane, only had a cup of coffee.

To be honest, Hu Jiangshan is really a little hungry now.

"Okay, thank you both for your help then."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Chen Xiuli took a closer look at Hu Jiangshan and thought he was so handsome.

Moreover, Hu Jiangshan's attitude was particularly gentle. Not only was he not as scary as the legend said, he even seemed quite good.

The hotel is also nearby. It is a high-end Chinese restaurant that serves dishes from all over the world, but of course, the main focus is on local flavors.

To be honest, Hu Jiangshan doesn't like eating in this kind of restaurant. The food is very exquisite, but it always makes people feel uncomfortable.

But it doesn’t matter. It’s better to have something to eat than to go hungry.

It doesn’t matter if you are not full, you can just go out for a snack in the evening.

So far, Liu Jianhua and Chen Xiuli have been receiving Hu Jiangshan with great caution, fearing that any problems might arise.

Hu Jiangshan is the son of a big boss.

If the other party is really angry, both of them will lose their jobs.

Chen Xiuli sat next to Hu Jiangshan, pouring him tea and water, taking care of him meticulously.

Hu Jiangshan didn't find anything difficult to adapt to and felt he was enjoying it.

Especially the fragrance coming from Chen Xiu Li, which is very light but very pleasant to the touch. It is a very high-quality perfume.

Liu Jianhua said, "Mr. Hu, where do you want to go when you come to Shanghai this time? I can arrange a guide for you." Hu Jiangshan waved his hand and said, "No, I'm not here to play this time."

"Ah, then you..."

Hu Jiangshan did not answer Liu Jianhua's question, and said, "By the way, is it convenient for you to arrange a car for me?"

"Oh, of course! It's a small matter."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Manager Liu."

"It's not a problem. How could it be a problem, Mr. Hu? I'll have someone send the car to the hotel tomorrow morning."

Hu Jiangshan nodded.

Liu Jianhua thought, if this young man didn't come here to play, then what could he be here for?
But Liu Jianhua wouldn't be stupid enough to ask further questions.

After a while, the meals were served one after another.

Hu Jiangshan tried it and thought it was not bad. The taste was good, but the portion was too small and it was still not very satisfying to eat.

After chatting and eating for a while, the three of them became somewhat familiar with each other and gradually relaxed.

After eating for a while, Liu Jianhua said he wanted to go to the toilet.

Hu Jiangshan and Chen Xiuli were the only two people left in the private room.

Chen Xiu Li asked curiously: "Mr. Hu, are you here alone this time?"

"Yes, I'm used to being alone."

"……what."

Hu Jiangshan looked at Chen Xiuli and asked, "Have you heard any rumors?"

"Hmm? No, I don't."

Needless to say, Chen Xiu Li's expression betrayed her.

Hu Jiangshan knew what the other party heard, and it was definitely not something good.

Hu Jiangshan actually doesn't care, he has gotten used to it.

Hu Jiangshan suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, you reminded me of this."

"Hmm? Remind you of what?"

I really seem to be in need of an assistant.

This is what Hu Jiangshan thought, and this time he was going to the other party's company to negotiate cooperation.

Going forward alone may seem handsome and cool, but in the eyes of the other party, it may seem a little stupid.

The ceremony of cooperation negotiation cannot be too grand, but it also cannot be too small, otherwise it would appear that one's side is too petty.

So I still need to find an assistant, even a temporary one.

I really need Liu Jianhua's help on this matter.

Just then, Liu Jianhua came back.

There was a man following behind him. This man was also quite young, probably around thirty years old.

Hu Jiangshan looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

Liu Jianhua introduced: "Excuse me, I just ran into an acquaintance by chance, this is Dr. Jiang Jinlong, the technical director of HKUST Feixun."

Liu Jianhua was about to introduce Hu Jiangshan when Jiang Jinlong's eyes lit up when he saw Hu Jiangshan: "Oh, isn't this Mr. Hu Jiang!"

Liu Jianhua was stunned: "Do you know Mr. Hu?"

Jiang Jinlong smiled and said, "Of course I know him. Mr. Hu was also a hot topic at the Three Crowns Business Forum."

Liu Jianhua was a little confused.

Given Liu Jianhua's level, he might not know that Hu Jiangshan was also among the delegation from Hezhong Group attending the conference.

Moreover, Hu Jiangshan is not just there to make up the numbers. He has a very good relationship with Sun Yafang, the rotating chairman of Huayao. This alone is enough to attract attention.

What's more, Hu Jiangshan almost single-handedly handled the matter of the power battery giant Ningte Times in the investment negotiations of Hezhong Group, and the news did not spread quickly. Anyone with good news got the news.

As a core executive of Keda Feixun, Jiang Jinlong certainly knew something about Hu Jiangshan.

This is why the current strange situation has occurred. Hu Jiangshan doesn’t have much impression of Jiang Jinlong, but Jiang Jinlong knows Hu Jiangshan.

In fact, as soon as Hu Jiangshan heard that the other party was a senior executive of Keda Feixun, he knew what was going on.

Hu Jiangshan stood up and shook hands with Jiang Jinlong.

"Mr. Jiang, please sit down and chat for a while."

Jiang Jinlong hesitated for a moment, said excuse me, and sat down.

Liu Jianhua was a little surprised. He didn't expect Jiang Jinlong to be willing to stay.

You have to know that Jiang Jinlong is a typical science and engineering executive. He is not very good at building relationships and his mind is full of technical matters.

The reason why Liu Jianhua could become close with Jiang Jinlong was because of his shameless style and persistent business ability.

So what's going on with Jiang Jinlong now?
Do you want to reminisce with Liu Jianhua?

Of course, we have been chatting outside the door for quite a while.

It can’t be because…

Liu Jianhua looked at Hu Jiangshan and thought that a rich young man could not possibly have anything in common with Jiang Jinlong.

Chen Xiu Li reacted quickly and went out to find the waiter to come in and order another set of tableware and two dishes.

At this time, Liu Jianhua asked Jiang Jinlong: "Mr. Jiang, you seem to be very busy recently. Have you been working overtime?"

Jiang Jinlong nodded: "Yes, not very busy, but very busy. Now 996 can no longer describe our working status. If I hadn't been on a business trip this time, I really wouldn't have come out to eat so early."

Wow, it’s already nine o’clock, which is still considered early. It shows how intense the work intensity is at Keda Feixun now.

Liu Jianhua asked: "You are so busy, what project is it? Can you tell me?"

Jiang Jinlong replied: "Hi, it's not a particularly secret project. We are just working on artificial intelligence."

Hu Jiangshan glanced at Jiang Jinlong and obviously thought of his previous life.

In a few years, artificial intelligence big models will become a very hot industry, and may even become a life-saving straw and panacea to save the economy of the beacon country.

But can the Lighthouse Country succeed with this? Of course not.

The opposite is true. Big AI models are booming in China.

However, the development of the matter was very tortuous. For a considerable period of time, Chinese companies were unable to purchase advanced AI computing cards, their computing power was restricted, and they suffered considerable losses.

Keda Feixun is indeed a domestic company that started to develop large-scale artificial intelligence models very early, even earlier than the large-scale model of OPENAI in the beacon country. It’s just that domestic companies are not good at publicity and hype, so they always suffer in terms of voice.

Jiang Jinlong sighed: "Now we are also very entangled and have encountered a difficult problem."

Liu Jianhua asked: "What's the problem?"

"It's still about the computing power card. We are currently using Eagle NVIDIA GPUs, which used to be very useful, but now they are going to increase the price, and the increase is quite large. The price of one card is going to increase fivefold."

Liu Jianhua was shocked: "Five times? This is too cruel!"

"What they mean is that if we don't accept the new price, Eagle Weida will cut off our stock!"

Speaking of this, Jiang Jinlong was still angry.

"Well, then we can go to another store to buy it!"

"It would be great if there were alternatives, but the problem is that there are no alternatives. Currently, all companies that can make good GPUs are in the Lighthouse Country. If Nvidia raises its prices, AMD will also raise its prices. They are not much cheaper. Moreover, AMD's GPUs have compatibility issues. After all the calculations, it is better to buy Nvidia's."

As he spoke, Jiang Jinlong took a sip of tea. He looked as if he was drinking sorrow wine, and it was obvious that he was very worried.

At this time, Hu Jiangshan suddenly spoke up: "Perhaps you can ask Huayao for help."

Jiang Jinlong was stunned.

"...Hua Yao?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "If my information is correct, Huayao is developing a chip specifically for AI computing, and its performance is much more powerful than Eagle NVIDIA's GPU chip."

"Ah? What chip is that?"

Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "Shengteng 910."
