Chapter 307 Happy and Sad

At the same time, in Qiao Xi's Huaqing dormitory, the family was eating the lunch that Xia Keke brought back from the cafeteria.

The meal at Jiasuo last night took too long, and it was already 11 o'clock in the evening when it ended. They were too lazy to go back to Yanbei, so Qiao Yu and Xia Keke simply stayed here.

Although everyone was drinking happily yesterday, Qiao Yu naturally didn't drink, and Qiao Xi didn't drink either.

Zheng Xiwen would personally take charge of this every time, and would pour purified water disguised as white wine into Qiao Yu's cup, and Qiao Xi would do the same.

After coming to Huaqing, probably because of the social interaction, my mood became better and my migraines became less frequent, so I simply quit smoking completely.

Perhaps for the same reason, these four years did not leave too many traces on this single middle-aged woman. The long-term life in college also gave Qiao Xi a bookish air, making her look more elegant.

Qiao Yu even learned from Zheng Xiwen that two professors from Huaqing had once pursued Qiao Xi, but were both rejected by Qiao Xi.

Of course I can understand it.

Anyway, I can live a good life in the second half of my life relying on him as my good son, so I don’t need to put too much worldly pressure on myself in terms of feelings.

Everyone has the right to choose how to live their lives, and as a son, he only needs to respect and bless them.

Life, it’s better to be simple.

But what makes Qiao Yu headache is that his mother obviously thinks differently from him and always likes to interfere in his life...

The same is true today.

The family was eating happily when Qiao Xi suddenly looked at Qiao Yu, then at Keke, then sighed and put down the bowl.

Qiao Yu glanced at Qiao Xi and asked helplessly, "What's wrong? In order to satisfy your wish of not wanting to walk, Keke got lunch today, and it was all your favorite dishes. Why are you sighing for no reason?"

"Don't you understand? You're not a kid anymore, are you? Now Coco has graduated from college, and you've done what you wanted to do. Isn't it time to consider getting married?"

Qiao Xi stared at Qiao Yu and talked incessantly.

Xia Keke lowered her head and ate, as if she didn't hear anything, while Qiao Yu looked at Qiao Xi helplessly.

It was this woman who told the two of them not to be in a hurry, and now it is this woman who is in a hurry to urge them to get married.

"Yeah, actually we have been thinking about it. Isn't Coco still in school? We plan to consider getting married after she graduates."

Qiao Yu responded casually.

"Aren't you going to study for a doctorate? If you do, you'll be almost 20 by the time you graduate, right? Your aunt Liu specifically asked a doctor, and she said that the best childbearing period for women is between 25 and years old.

After the age of 25, the quality of fertility will show a slow downward trend, and after the age of 35, the downward trend will accelerate! And then Coco is already 23 this year!"

Qiao Xi sat up straight and spoke seriously.

Even Aunt Liu has moved out. Qiao Yu began to regret coming here to live for the sake of convenience last night.

The future mother-in-law was a little worried, and Qiao Yu thought that was understandable.

After all, his father, who was still wandering around Xida, set a bad example.

Qiao Yu glanced at Xia Keke, but Xia Keke didn't look at him and was still eating.

In fact, since Xia Keke graduated, it is not just Qiao Xi who has been urging him to get married. Director Tian and Mr. Yuan both seem to think that he has reached the right age to get married.

Even Zheng Xiwen would occasionally pick an opportunity to say a few words in an indirect way. In short, it seemed that the whole world thought that he should get married recently.

"No, you haven't eaten! Say something!" Qiao Yu muttered to Xia Keke.

Before Xia Keke could say anything, Qiao Xi glared at Qiao Yu and scolded, "Don't bully Keke."

"No, marriage is a matter between two people, right? Is it enough for me to agree? How can I be considered bullying Coco if I just want to ask for her opinion?"

Qiao Yu subconsciously widened his eyes and felt shivering with anger.

Even if Qiao Xi is his biological mother, this is too much.

What he thinks about every day now is how to get more meat from Xiaomei. It's ok for this woman to think about him every day to continue the family line, but she also casually framed him...

Can we still live a peaceful life like this?
When will men be able to stand up again in this new era filled with all kinds of prejudice and oppression against men? !
"Don't worry about Keke's opinion. I will talk to her alone. Just tell her what you think! I also asked Professor Tian, ​​and he said that you haven't started any new projects recently, so you are just free.

I have also consulted Chief Engineer Yu. Although the second phase of the space-based defense project has already started, for now we just need to continue with the experience of the first phase and we don't need your help.

As for quantum simulation computers, so many engineers are not just here for work. Getting married won't take up much time. Are there any other inconvenient reasons?"

The research was so clear that Qiao Yu was speechless. Unfortunately, apart from remembering the few names that Qiao Xi had just mentioned, he could only be furious.

Actually, there's no point in remembering it. You can't go and have a quarrel with Director Tian or Chief Engineer Yu.

If you can't win in private, you have to be careful when you argue publicly. After all, the outside world now says that he is the Holy Eucharist of Reconciliation.

Qiao Yu never thought that one day he would also have to bear this damn idol burden.

"No, when did I say I had an objection? In fact, I have wanted to get married for a long time. You don't know that in the academic world, only when you get married and have children will people think you are stable enough and can hand over more important tasks!"

Qiao Yu simply said it in a very bachelor manner.

"Okay, that means you have no objection. Coco, come with me to the room and talk after dinner." Qiao Xi said domineeringly.

"Oh, okay, Mom." Xia Keke responded softly.

Then Qiao Xi started to complain to Qiao Yu: "Look, when can you be as obedient as Keke?"

Ah……

woman!

However, thinking about the fact that acting well-behaved in front of elders was a survival skill he taught Xia Keke when they were little, Qiao Yu felt relieved and even a little comforted.

After all, he is the apprentice I taught. I have been pretending to be obedient in front of adults since he was a child. This shows that I have not forgotten my original intention.

However, after he became successful, he started to become arrogant and no longer cared about acting. This was actually not right. Qiao Yu even felt that he should reflect on himself.

"Well, I have a suggestion. If you are sure you want to get married, you might as well arrange it early. Before those big capitalists from abroad return.

I have to give them a chance to attend my wedding banquet, so that they can give me a gift, and they have to say thank you to me! Perfect combination of all!"

As soon as Qiao Yu finished speaking, Qiao Xi glared at him and pointed in the direction of the door: "Get out!" Looking at Xia Keke who was grinning, Qiao Yu rolled his eyes in annoyance.

This is retribution. It seems that he spoke to the CEO of Intel in this way yesterday and told him to get out directly...

The world is changing so fast!

……

At Rongyuan Hotel, Chris Malarkey and David Hopkins looked worried.

They were indeed angry about Brad Smith's betrayal, but they were angry enough.

And what made them most angry was not Brad Smith’s betrayal, but the fact that the reaction of the people of Western University was completely different from their expectations.

Few people have criticized the White House and Brad Smith for this behavior. Now the hottest topic at Western University is whether the collaboration between Eastern and Western Universities can make Western University glorious again for another fifty years!

These people are so stupid!
Looking at the entire world history, has there ever been a big country that has a good ending by relying on the policy of appeasement? How come countless people support these people to make peace with the East?!
At first I was really outraged.

There is no way around it. Any policy shift requires someone to pay the price, and there is no doubt that they are the price this time!
But anger is useless. Last night they did not sit still and wait for death, but used many connections to communicate with many friendly media people, hoping that they could speak out and wake up these stupid people.

But the answer was even more disappointing.

Media people who are on good terms with them told them privately that these media outlets had already conducted research after receiving information from the White House.

The results showed that when they learned that the people in the White House planned to introduce China's infrastructure capabilities, the idiot's support rate actually increased significantly, and it was surprisingly consistent with those statements on the Internet, so they were no longer angry.

For the elite class, public opinion is actually shit most of the time. But at certain special moments, it becomes more important than ever.

There is no doubt that this is a very special moment. If more people can realize that this is a wrong decision, they can oppose and protest against the people in the White House.

The enormous pressure will eventually push back layer by layer, making these capitulationist behaviors an abstract joke.

But the current situation is that a group of people are fighting online over which state China Infrastructure should enter first.

Now, the state government also needs voters' votes. Especially when the above approach is recognized by voters, if the state government still dares not to support it, even the propaganda in the state may not stand on their side.

This is the backlash of happy education plus democratic election system.

People of insight like Chris Malarkey and David Hopkins truly believe that the invasion brought by Chinese culture is absolutely devastating.

They couldn't understand how the people in the white house had the courage to completely open up the market to a big country with 56 ethnic groups.

This is a country where any netizen can read the international situation and speak coherently about it, and have direct conversations with citizens who have been brought up with a happy education. Aren't they afraid that the minds of these people will be polluted?

Don't those people understand that the spark of this kind of thought is the most terrifying. Once the thought begins to spread, it will affect people's thoughts from all aspects, and even get into the minds of low-level non-commissioned officers, and things will be serious.

Only care about the present, not the future...

In the hotel room, the two had cursed the people in the White House and Brad Smith 10,000 times. But the curses could not do anything to the other party. Instead, those who had clear cognition and the same ideas as them on the Internet were cursed to death!

Those who should have been nailed to the pillar of shame in history are instead understood, supported, and even admired...

If they dare to speak out now, they will probably be charged with various crimes.

Although they were clearly righteous, the absurdity brought about by the thought that the clown was actually themselves was enough to make them collapse.

"What does your board of directors say?" Chris Malarkey asked in a muffled voice.

David Hopkins remained silent.

There was a lot of noise at the board meeting, and there was no consensus at all. However, David Hopkins could foresee that when the news of the breakdown of the talks with the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance spread, Intel's stock would most likely crash.

There is no way, Microsoft has already invested.

The denial of the classic electronic computer development model based on the Intel-Microsoft alliance will definitely bring extremely pessimistic sentiment to the market.

In addition, quantum simulation computers are eyeing the market, and Microsoft has to fully support new computer products, and will certainly cooperate in publicity in public opinion in the future.

Once this is transmitted to the capital market, all shareholders can guess with their butts what will happen.

While arguing, major shareholders have been rapidly reducing their holdings of Intel shares.

He is of course well aware of this, because as CEO, he has already begun to sell off his few unrestricted shares. But it is foreseeable how difficult it will be to find someone to take over.

David Hopkins believes that this is definitely not just a problem he faces, but a number of related upstream and downstream companies are facing this problem.

This also includes motherboard packaging companies, chip companies and graphics card companies.

Although everyone knew that this was not his fault, the blame for Intel's decline must be placed on him.

So he really didn't want to talk.

But thinking that Chris was one of the few friends who still stayed in China and could keep each other company, he suppressed his annoyance and asked back, "What about you guys?"

"I may have to go back. Mr. Huang plans to come here in person." Chris Malarkey replied seriously.

David Hopkins opened his mouth but said nothing.

This is Nvidia saving itself.

After all, Lao Huang had been to China several times before and had some connections in China. Maybe there was someone he could talk to.

In fact, Nvidia is in a better situation than Intel.

After all, Nvidia does not invest heavily in factories like Intel.

This fabless model allows NVIDIA to focus its main energy on research and development.

If we can start negotiations with China, perhaps we will be able to participate in the work of quantum simulation computing and display in the future.

Maybe I can even get a piece of the pie.

Intel's IDM model is not bad. At least it has stronger autonomy, and if it can continue, it will be able to maintain its leading position in many fields.

But in this situation, it was a life-threatening situation. This was also the reason why the board of directors could not reach a consensus.

Even if they want to surrender now and want to get a piece of the pie in the era of quantum simulation computing, they not only have to give up those chip factories with heavy asset investments, but also have to update their equipment.

If they abandon the IDM model, to put it bluntly, since they have the ability to design chips themselves, why should they rely on Intel to make money?
