Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 233: Shengteng Chip, Urgent Delivery

Hu Jiangshan thought for a moment and said, "In fact, we can ship the goods now, but if we wait a few days, we can ship more at once."

Wang Chengdong asked: "How much can be given out now?"

Hu Jiangshan replied: "Maybe... about 120,000, Mr. Wang. If another two days pass, another portion will probably be packaged and tested, and we can deliver more by then, probably 150,000."

Wang Chengdong immediately said, "Brother Hu, we can't wait any longer. Several companies have been blocking the door of our company since yesterday. Some want samples, and some want the goods directly."

“…Ah, is that so exaggerated?”

"Yes, it's very exaggerated, and they are very crazy. If I don't give a clear explanation about when the Ascend chips can be shipped, they will want to let me leave the office."

"This... that's for..."

Hu Jiangshan was halfway through his words when he suddenly remembered the overseas news he saw last night.

The Beacon Country has decided to take action against China in the field of artificial intelligence.

It seems that mainland technology companies have already received the news and have completely stopped cooperating with Chinese companies.

As a result, it will be even more difficult for China's artificial intelligence companies to buy GPU chips from NVIDIA.

Now it is just more expensive for these companies to buy NVIDIA's GPU chips, and they can still buy them as long as they are willing to invest, but in the future they may not be able to buy them even if they have money.

In other words, now only Huayao's Ascend 910 chip has become the life-saving straw and the hope of the whole village.

The matter of Huayao Shengteng chips has spread in the industry some time ago.

Huayao's R&D strength is obvious to all and there is no doubt about it. However, everyone is skeptical about whether Huayao can mass-produce the Ascend 910 chip normally. After all, the situation Huayao is facing is too special and ordinary companies simply cannot withstand it.

Therefore, you still have to buy the graphics card chips from NVIDIA. It doesn't matter if they are a little more expensive. Several leading Internet giants in China don't care at all. Their cost control is not as strict as that of technology-specialized R&D companies like HKUST Feixun.

But recently the latest news came from the other side of the ocean that many congressmen have begun to propose proposals to prevent the artificial intelligence hardware companies of the Lighthouse Country from cooperating with Chinese companies.

Although it is only a proposal in the House of Representatives, it is very likely to be passed in the current environment.

If this proposal is passed, it will mean that China's artificial intelligence development will be in trouble.

Without sufficient hardware support, computing power cannot be increased or broken through, which is a fatal flaw for artificial intelligence technology.

So now these companies that develop artificial intelligence applications are immediately blocking the door of Huayao’s company, and they must ask Huayao to give a definite explanation.

Does the legendary generation chip really exist?

If it exists, can it be mass-produced?

As for the price of Shengteng chips, that’s easy to say, as long as they are useful.

The annual shipment volume of the Ascend 910 chip originally designed by Huayao was only a few hundred thousand units.

If Huayao's own use is included, the number will only reach several hundred thousand per year.

But now it’s different. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. If the bill in the Lighthouse Chart is really passed, all Chinese companies involved in artificial intelligence will turn to buying Huayao’s Ascend chips.

The demand for Ascend chips will increase greatly, and the increase will not be a small one. There is a high possibility that a chip production capacity crisis will occur.

For example, Keda Feixun has noticed that something is wrong, and its boss Liu Qingfu personally called Huayao yesterday, urging Huayao to ship the goods as soon as possible.

If it was a few days later, this batch of Ascend chips might have been sold out.

Keda Feixun is now eagerly waiting for the use of chips. If this situation really happens, it will be so desperate that it has to prepare for the future.

According to Wang Chengdong, USTC Feixun is the one that is putting the most pressure on the company, almost threatening its life.

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Wang, tomorrow, yes, we can get it ready tomorrow."

Wang Chengdong was very excited: "That's great, I will ask the logistics department to prepare it right away and try to load the goods tomorrow."

Hu Jiangshan added: "By the way, the address is different. This time it is another island."

Wang Chengdong was stunned: "Another island? Brother Hu, do you have more than one island?"

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Wang, the original island was too small to accommodate two chip production lines, so we had to spend a lot of effort to build another island."

Wang Chengdong laughed out loud: "Brother Hu, you are amazing! You are so capable! You are so rich!"

"Hey, Mr. Wang, to be honest, I'm going bankrupt."

"As for the money, that's easy. I'll ask the finance department to transfer the payment for the new batch of goods to you tomorrow."

It has been three months since Hu Jiangshan bought Tenglong Island, but he did not tell too many people, including the people from Huayao, and he did not even tell his parents.

Having said that, Wang Chengdong and other core executives of Huayao have been very busy recently and have no time to chat with Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Jiangshan talked to Wang Chengdong about the details again, but Wang Chengdong had a meeting to attend, so he hung up the phone in a hurry. He looked very busy and almost running around.

Early the next morning, Hu Jiangshan got up from bed, ate something at the restaurant at the entrance of the community, then went to the yacht club pier and headed straight for Tenglong Island.

Hu Jiangshan called Zhang Rui yesterday, told him the situation, and asked him to prepare the Ascend chips to be shipped as soon as possible today.

In fact, the preparation of chip shipment is very simple and basically fully automatic.

Just by pressing a button, the packaged and tested chips can be placed in a dedicated box.

However, this matter is still very important, and Hu Jiangshan dare not neglect it, so he must go there today.

Now the Hu Jiangshan Seahorse has been repaired, the engine has been replaced, and everything is as good as new.

However, he can still use Hu Yingxiang's big yacht at will.

Yachts are too big to drive out and lack flexibility, so Hu Jiangshan is still used to driving the Seahorse out to sea.

Half an hour later, Hu Jiangshan arrived at Tenglong Bay.

When they reached the center of the bay, Hu Jiangshan stopped the engine and then looked carefully at the sea water on the first deck.

Sure enough, the sea water is now clearer than before. Not only is the visibility higher, but the transparency has also increased by one or two levels.

Under direct sunlight, the color of the sea surface is even more beautiful.

There are also coral reefs on the seabed, which are almost covered with anemones of various colors.

There are many clownfish swimming and playing among the anemones, looking very lively.

Hu Jiangshan even wanted to go to the underwater observation deck of the office building to take a look.

A moment later, the Seahorse docked at the pier, and Hu Jiangshan saw Yu Sheng and Awang chatting not far away.

Judging from their expressions, they both looked quite worried.

All I heard was Awang saying, "Brother Yusheng, let's tell the boss right away. This is unusual!"

"That's right. Let's call the boss later and explain the situation."

Awang thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we find a way to go in and see what's going on inside."

Yusheng immediately shook his head: "No, no, we can't make decisions on our own. What if it's arranged by the boss? We can't go in without the boss's permission." Awang said: "I was just talking casually. It looks like we can't go in at all. It's too tightly packed."

"Anyway, let's not act rashly. If we really get into trouble, it will be difficult to clean up."

At this time, Yusheng saw the Seahorse already approaching the shore and said quickly, "Look, the boss is here!"

Two people immediately went over and waited for Hu Jiangshan to get off the boat.

Hu Jiangshan asked curiously: "What's wrong with you? Did something happen on the island?"

Yusheng replied: "Boss, nothing happened. It's just that there are some new things on the island."

Hu Jiangshan was stunned: "Something? What?"

"There is just one...that..."

"Boss, it's a circle..."

Yusheng gestured to Awang and then looked at each other, as if he couldn't put it into words.

"Boss, you should come with us to take a look. That thing is too weird to explain."

Hu Jiangshan looked at the two of them with a confused look on his face. It seemed that something unusual had indeed appeared on the island.

Hu Jiangshan followed Yu Sheng and Awang deeper into the island and soon reached a location near the center of Tenglong Island.

The location here is very good, close to the shallows connecting East Island and West Island, and it is indeed a large open area.

Moreover, the terrain here is relatively high, so there is no need to worry about being flooded by high tide.

It is worth mentioning that at night, the water depth of the shallows will increase significantly, and it will be more like a river.

Not far away, a building appeared.

No, that's not a building, it's more like a hemisphere.

The hemisphere covers the entire area, which is very large, perhaps as big as a football field.

Hu Jiangshan immediately understood what this was.

It must be the Infrastructure Planning and Construction Center.

At this time, the facility has not been completed, and this hemisphere is the construction site of the facility.

Wow, it really is a large building of 2000 square meters. It looks very large and spectacular.

Moreover, it is wrapped tightly from top to bottom and from left to right, with no gaps to see inside. Even if a drone is launched, nothing can be seen on it.

I don’t know what material this semicircular sphere is made of. It looks like it is neither metal nor plastic.

You know, in his previous life, Hu Jiangshan was a scientist who was very knowledgeable about materials science. He could figure out the nature of most materials at a glance, but he really couldn't figure out the nature of this spherical material.

Hu Jiangshan even felt that even a bomb might not be able to destroy this thing.

To put it bluntly, this is a kind of black technology material.

Yu Sheng said, "Boss, what on earth is this thing for? We have never seen it before, and it suddenly appeared. Could it be someone's doing something bad?"

Hu Jiangshan laughed. If someone is doing something bad and causing such a big commotion, then he is very powerful and we can't afford to offend him.

Yusheng and Awang were horrified.

Awang said: "No matter who it is, if he touches the boss's things, I will break his legs."

Hu Jiangshan waved his hand: "Alright, alright, it's not that serious. I know what this thing is. It's harmless. Just do what you need to do and ignore it."

Yusheng and Awang heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Since the boss said not to worry about it, it means there is no problem. Just let him be and there is no need to ask any further questions.

The key is that the boss Hu Jiangshan has always appeared mysterious and powerful.

Within a few months of Hu Jiangshan taking over Tenglong Island, the entire island was already covered with electricity and fresh water supply pipelines, and even had full communication signals. The convenience of life on the island was not inferior to that of Hong Kong Island, and was even better in some aspects.

In addition, the water quality of Tenglong Bay is now many times better than before, and you can even swim at the beach.

The scenery on the seabed has become more colorful, the corals have begun to have gorgeous colors, and the various marine life are many times more than before.

A few days ago, Awang’s son even saw several dolphins playing in Tenglong Bay, and may have also seen small and medium-sized whales.

Anyway, creatures that were not seen before have now begun to appear one after another in Tenglong Bay. This is a good sign, indicating that Tenglong Island is becoming more and more livable.

In the past, Awang’s wife had some complaints about settling on the island, thinking it was very inconvenient. She had always wanted Awang to buy a house in Hong Kong Island, live there, and let Awang work on the island.

Now, Awang's wife thinks the island is great, a paradise on earth, and she no longer mentions buying a house. She even wants to expand the house on Tenglong Island into a big villa.

Of course, this matter still needs Hu Jiangshan's approval, after all, the land on this island belongs to him.

Now Yu Sheng and Awang have not had the time to mention this matter to Hu Jiangshan.

Originally, the two wanted to bring it up later, but since opportunities were rare, it seemed appropriate to bring it up now.

Yusheng is introverted and a little hesitant, but Awang is more direct and he couldn't help but speak.

"Boss, there is something I want to tell you."

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"We, my family and Yusheng brother's family, want to expand the house."

"Expansion?"

"Yes, yes, the house we live in now is too small. Each family only has three rooms, which is not enough, so we want to expand the house."

Yusheng immediately said, "Boss, we don't need to expand too much, just one more room will be enough."

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "One more room will be enough. How about this? Five rooms per floor. You can build two floors. It's not good to be too high. You can also enclose a courtyard appropriately. You can discuss how big it should be. Finally, show me the plan. As long as it's not outrageous, I will approve it."

When Yusheng and Awang heard this, they immediately nodded in agreement.

The two men said something to Hu Jiangshan and continued to patrol the island.

Yusheng and Awang were very excited and wanted to tell their wives about it immediately.

The daughters-in-law must be very happy because they finally have a big house to live in.

Awang said, "Brother Yusheng, we are doing so well and have such a good boss."

Yusheng smiled slightly: "So we have to work hard and keep this good job, and not let others take it away."

Awang nodded heavily.
