Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 248: Dispute over artificial intelligence ferments online

Hu Jiangshan smiled slightly: "Ah, I'm just doing a little business now, it's not worth mentioning."

Wang Sian said "Oh" and did not comment.

I didn’t expect that this Hong Kong Island young man named Hu is quite humble.

In fact, Wang Sian is quite annoyed when talking about starting a business and doing business.

Wang Sian is also starting a business and has invested in several companies, including live streaming, gaming, and various internet celebrities, but he has lost a lot of money.

Wang Sian hasn't lost all his money yet, so he still has something to do. In another year or two, he will have free time.

At this time, Kong Fengyan became interested.

Kong Fengyan knew that Hu Jiangshan had a bad reputation in the past, but after seeing him in person, Kong Fengyan no longer believed the rumors.

"Xiao Hu, I heard last time that you were starting a business. What business are you starting? What industry? Real estate? Or a financial company?"

Hu Jiangshan refilled the cups of several people with tea and replied with a smile: "Teacher Kong, I didn't say anything polite just now. It's really not worth mentioning. I just opened a fishery."

"...Ah? A fish farm? Raising fish?"

"Yes, we raise fish, such as yellow croaker, sea bass, grouper, octopus, etc. We raise them and sell them outside."

Kong Fengyan was very surprised. She didn't expect Hu Jiangshan to be engaged in such an industry.

Although fisheries are also considered industries, they are not profitable businesses compared to the real estate industry.

Not only are the profits low, but the payback period is too high.

Although Kong Fengyan is a master of Chinese studies, it does not mean that he is unfamiliar with various industries.

Given Hu Jiangshan's family background, there is no reason for him to work in such a hard job.

Huo Zhigang immediately explained: "Teacher Kong, what Xiao Hu runs is not just an ordinary fishery. He bought an island and built a fishery on it. It's very impressive and uses high technology."

Kong Fengyan suddenly understood.

"Oh, what a generous gesture. He is indeed a descendant of the Hu family. He is amazing."

Hu Jiangshan glanced at Huo Zhigang, which didn’t mean that he knew all this, but Hu Jiangshan thought that he was a small figure and the Huo family didn’t need to pay so much attention to him.

Hu Jiangshan showed no sign of abnormality and waved his hand: "Teacher Kong, I am embarrassed for you to praise me like that. I am just a money-grubber and not worth mentioning."

Kong Fengyan laughed: "Hey, what's the point of being rich? Who doesn't eat to support their family? It's embarrassing if you don't have the ability to make money. Xiao Hu, you don't rely on family connections, you are self-reliant, you are great!"

Wang Sian rolled his eyes unconsciously.

Hu Jiangshan doesn't rely on family connections? Who is he trying to fool?
If he didn't have the identity of the young master of the Hu family, he probably wouldn't even be able to raise the capital to start a small business, let alone buy an island.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with Wang Sian thinking this way.

Hu Jiangshan did benefit from the Hu family, otherwise he would not have been able to get started.

Hu Jiangshan said, "Teacher Kong, when the seafood I raise is ripe, I will get you a few so that you can have a taste of the deliciousness."

"Okay, okay, Xiao Hu, it's a deal. You have to come here often in the future."

Needless to say, since Hu Jiangshan comes here often, he must come to make tea.

Kong Fengyan will definitely not give up any opportunity.

At this time, Wang Sian looked at Chen Yifei and asked, "Teacher Chen, do you live in Hong Kong Island permanently?"

Chen Yifei shook her head: "No, I'll just stay for a few days, and I'll have work here in a few days."

"You have a job? Filming in Hong Kong Island?"

Chen Yifei nodded.

"Oh, Mr. Chen, what a coincidence! I'm going to stay in Hong Kong Island for a while, so I can have some fun and relax. I wonder if I can have a chance to watch you guys filming?"

Chen Yifei was stunned for a moment, then said calmly, "You need to talk to the crew about this. I can't decide."

Wang Sian nodded: "I understand. I understand this rule. I will ask Director Wang Qiuming later."

Wang Sian is indeed very knowledgeable. He actually knows who is the director that Chen Yifei has worked with.

If Wang Sian is willing, it should be no problem for him to find a crew to visit, otherwise how could he be called the "Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Entertainment Industry."

However, there is a very strange phenomenon. Wang Sian is surrounded by many beautiful internet celebrities, but he has never met a real star.

It would be wrong to say that Wang Sian doesn't have the ability. After all, coal bosses back then were able to find celebrities to play with.

Of course, Wang Sian definitely can't handle a female star like Chen Yifei.

In the evening, Hu Jiangshan returned to Victoria Harbour Apartments.

Hu Jiangshan went out for a day today. Yes, he stayed at Kong Fengyan's place for the whole day.

Hu Jiangshan made several pots of tea in the morning, stayed at Kong Fengyan's house for lunch, and continued to make tea after lunch.

My goodness, Hu Jiangshan made a lot of tea today and his wrists are sore.

Fortunately, Kong Fengyan was in a very good mood and was very friendly with Hu Jiangshan, even calling him a brother.

Obviously, Hu Jiangshan has completely conquered Kong Fengyan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the two are friends regardless of age.

Hu Jiangshan took a bath.

Although there isn't much to do these two days, I'm busy all day long and I don't even have time to go online and check social media.

Hu Jiangshan sat on the sofa and opened a blog. He saw several technology-related blog posts on the first screen.

I didn't expect that they were all talking about artificial intelligence.

This is really a bit abnormal.

Although the artificial intelligence industry will be the main theme of technological development across the entire Blue Planet in the next few years, the Lighthouse Country has even pinned its entire national future on the development of artificial intelligence technology, and almost all of Huafu Street’s investments are related to artificial intelligence.

But it is still several years away from that time, and the discussion on artificial intelligence technology online probably won’t be too hot.

It was probably just a coincidence.

Hu Jiangshan turned another page and unexpectedly saw two or three more Weibo posts about artificial intelligence.

Although they were not posted by big Vs, the discussion was surprisingly heated.

This made Hu Jiangshan smell a familiar scent.

This is obviously not normal and is likely a topic of batch delivery.

[Beacon State lawmakers submitted a new bill to restrict the import of Eagle Nvidia chips into China]

[Domestic artificial intelligence companies’ hardware will be limited and computing power may not be able to increase]

[If there is no Eagle Nvidia chip, do domestic technology companies such as HKUST have a future? 】

[The situation is very serious. Eagle NVIDIA's GPU chip is very powerful. If it is out of stock in China, I am afraid there will be no substitute.]

[Huayao’s regret, its artificial intelligence computing chip died in the womb and cannot pose a threat to NVIDIA’s GPU chips] Hu Jiangshan saw that these tones were similar to the tones of the Weibo topics attacking Huayao some time ago, almost the same.

But topics related to artificial intelligence have indeed become popular.

There are many netizens who are unaware of the truth. When they first see this kind of title, they get easily upset, feeling that something big is about to happen, and that it is something that China cannot solve.

Hu Jiangshan randomly clicked on a Weibo post. The content was very empty, just a piece of nonsensical news. Of course, a screenshot of a British news report was also posted to make it look serious.

Several members of the Lighthouse Country jointly wrote a letter and submitted an important proposal to the House of Representatives, which was to prevent Eagle Weida's chips from entering China.

And this motion has already received the support of the Speaker.

This Weibo post did not make it clear what kind of people these congressmen are, nor did it say that these congressmen’s status in the Beacon Country is not that high, and they are just ordinary congressmen.

The Lighthouse State has two houses of Congress: the Senate and the House of Representatives.

The Senate is equivalent to the upper house and has greater power.

The House of Representatives is equivalent to the House of Commons. Members of the House of Representatives do not have as high status as members of the Senate. Almost all of them come from grassroots backgrounds and are elected through unconventional means.

Of course, this does not mean that the proposals they submit will not pass.

In fact, in recent years, the passage rate of any proposal that is unfavorable to China has been very high.

And according to Hu Jiangshan's experience in his previous life, this proposal was indeed passed, but the specific time of its passage should be in the next few years.

If it happens earlier, it means that the butterfly effect is very powerful and pushes the event forward as a whole.

Hu Jiangshan looked at the comment section again and saw that there were already hundreds of comments. It seemed that netizens also took this matter very seriously.

"Eagle Weida doesn't want to sell things to China? Can they really do that? Are they crazy? They have the money to lose!"

"I also think it's impossible. It's fake news. The Chinese market is huge, accounting for 30% of Nvidia's profits. How dare he give up such a big market? He wants to die."

"Ying Wei Da will definitely not agree, but someone will force him to agree."

"It's possible. If the White House of the Lighthouse Nation insists on doing this, then Eagle Weida won't be able to refuse."

"If we can't buy the most powerful graphics cards from Eagle NVIDIA, then domestic mining farms will not be able to operate."

"Don't be silly. There are no more mining farms in China. Almost all of them have moved abroad. The companies that are affected are mainly those that are developing artificial intelligence technology, such as Keda Feixun."

"That's true. HKUST Feixun is very good at artificial intelligence, but if it doesn't have Eagle NVIDIA's GPU chips or can't buy the most powerful graphics cards, its development will definitely be affected."

"No, no, I heard that Huayao has an AI computing chip of the same level, so it should be able to take over."

"Huayao's chips are only at the design stage and cannot be manufactured at all now."

"Huayao is almost finished, why should we care about this!"

"How do you know Huayao is screwed? Huayao recently released the P30, which is selling very well and is in short supply."

"Haha, do you know why the P30 is in short supply? Because we can't make it. We lack chips. Even if we have orders, we can't ship it."

"Nonsense, I just bought the Huayao P30 and I have already received it, it has been less than half a month."

"Yes, I also bought a P30 phone, the top-of-the-line model, and it has arrived now."

"Is this true? Is the P30 phone so easy to buy? Are you guys a shill?"

"It's a big thank you to all of you! My P30 phone arrived a little late, but it finally arrived and it's very useful."

"Yes, the Huayao P30 is amazing, it is definitely the best phone ever!"

Hu Jiangshan laughed. These netizens were talking about artificial intelligence chips, but they actually started arguing about Huayao P30. They went too far off the topic.

But this is normal. Huayao P30 mobile phone is selling very well now. It has been the best-selling product in China for several weeks in a row, which has interrupted the rising momentum of Apple mobile phones.

If the normal historical process had been followed, since Huayao's flagship mobile phone could not be produced, fruit phones would have quickly occupied the high-end mobile phone market in the mainland, and the domestic Android flagship phones would have been powerless to resist.

The current trend is completely different because Huayao can produce the P30 flagship mobile phone normally, and its production capacity is getting higher and higher, and now it can basically meet the order demand.

Of course, Huayao’s overseas markets have indeed been hit hard, and it will be difficult to recover in a short period of time. However, as long as there are no problems with the supply of mobile phone components and production capacity, the overseas markets are believed to be able to stabilize and then slowly counterattack.

Hu Jiangshan continued to check other Weibo content.

At this time, a Weibo post attracted Hu Jiangshan's attention.

[Rumor: HKUST Feixun has reached a supply agreement with Huayao, and Huayao will supply artificial intelligence computing chips. ”

Hu Jiangshan was stunned. Has the news already spread?
But this is normal, after all, there are actually quite a few people who know about this.

This is not a huge secret. People from Keda Feixun and Huayao may leak the news.

But it seems a bit wrong to post this message on Weibo.

Although the author of the Weibo post has a yellow V logo, he only has a few hundred thousand followers. He cannot be considered a big V, but at most a medium V.

Hu Jiangshan opened the Weibo and found that the content was very simple, basically the title was the content.

There is no evidence, it's just a piece of information.

But what’s amazing is that the number of views and comments on this Weibo post is not low, with more than 100 comments.

Hu Jiangshan took a look and was surprised, because the comments looked very professional and most of them were probably written by people in the technology circle or even in the industry.

"Is the blogger talking about Huayao Shengteng 910? Isn't that chip already dead?"

"Who said it died? Huayao has always wanted to mass-produce this chip."

"As far as I know, samples of the Ascend 910 chip have been produced and some companies have already obtained them."

"Oh my god, is this true? Are the test results out? How much worse is the performance than that of Eagle NVIDIA's GPU chip?"

At this time, the blogger replied with another message.

"I have another piece of news for you. The test results of Huayao Shengteng 910 have come out. The performance is much stronger than the latest GPU chip of Eagle NVIDIA. It is conservatively estimated to be more than 50% stronger."

Although this reply was in a less prominent position, it quickly caught people's attention.

Many netizens began to respond to his comment, and there were fifty or sixty replies in total, all arguing whether the information was true or false.

"How is it possible? Huayao can surpass Yingweida in making this kind of chip for the first time? You are kidding!"

"Yeah, I'm just talking in my sleep. Eagle NVIDIA has been making gaming graphics cards for decades. How could they give it to a newcomer in the industry?"

"It's not impossible. Ascend 910 is specially designed for AI computing and has inherent advantages over NVIDIA's GPU."

“No amount of advantages can make up for the gap in experience.”

"Didn't you read the blogger's reply? The performance has surpassed Eagle Weida!"

Hu Jiangshan was watching with great interest when his cell phone rang.

I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Director Wang Yuling from the Semiconductor Association.
