After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 370 Overwhelming Advantage
The competition between China and Japan has reached this point, and it should actually be over.

Everyone saw it.

Professor Fukuda from the University of Tokyo may seem very prestigious, being both a department head and an academician, but he always maintained a humble attitude in front of Zhou Haoran, which was definitely a display of national prestige.

When comparing the products, the difference becomes even more obvious.

The University of Tokyo campus card is riddled with errors.

too poor!
It would be utterly shameful to offer University of Tokyo campus cards to compatriots in Hong Kong!

It's still better to develop our own products!
However, Vice Mayor Jiang seemed quite interested and wanted to continue watching.

It's not just him.

Many older people want to continue watching.

This is so cool!
It's like a football match. Even if you're leading by a large margin and have already won, you still want to keep watching to see how many goals you can thrash the opponent.

Only Vice Principal Zhang Xuezhen looked embarrassed.

That's so embarrassing.

He devised the plan to introduce the University of Tokyo campus card.

Now, the school's self-developed projects have proven to be far ahead.

The humiliation he suffered at the University of Tokyo was tantamount to him being slapped in the face on the spot.

Zhang Xuezhen wanted to quickly call a halt, and said with a smile, "I originally wanted to better promote the service to Hong Kong. Since our self-developed campus card is better, let's choose the campus solution. I think we should stop here for today; the leaders are all very busy..."

Vice Mayor Jiang showed him no respect whatsoever, calmly saying, "It's alright, let's take another look."

Zhou Haoran said with a smile, "We haven't finished showcasing yet. Showcasing our excellent products to our international friends at the University of Tokyo will also help build Fudan University's international image."

All the school leaders agreed.

They said we should continue.

"Professor Fukuda, what do you think?"

Zhang Xuezhen could only pin his hopes on foreigners, hoping they would feel ashamed and be humiliated on the spot.

Let's finish this quickly!
If you don't want to compete anymore and want to withdraw, even the city leaders can't stop you, because they have to consider the international image.

Unexpectedly, these Japanese devils had no sense of shame at all. Professor Fukuda said happily, "Great! We should demonstrate all the functions. I hope Professor Zhou and Dr. Ning can point out our shortcomings and give us more guidance."

The translator finished speaking.

Zhang Xuezhen was almost furious.

I thought to myself, "You're shameless, but I still have a sense of shame!"

This guy calls himself a computer expert? He can't even compare to a college student!
The purpose of the following presentation is to point out mistakes and expose their errors.

Coincidentally, Professor Fukuda's team shared this sentiment, hoping that Professor Zhou's excellent team could uncover more errors. Only by identifying problems can we solve them.

Therefore, they cooperated closely.

Both sides worked together to find errors in the University of Tokyo's campus cards.

Our goals are aligned!
Zhang Xuezhen was the only outsider who watched coldly, his heart filled with despair.

Dr. Kawaguchi took out several campus cards and held them close to the meal card reader.

Then it made a "ding ding ding" sound.

The system is malfunctioning.

The numbers on the screen are jumping around randomly.

"Dr. Ning, this is the problem I discussed with you before. If multiple cards are brought close together, serious errors will occur."

Dr. Kawaguchi showed no shame whatsoever in voluntarily exposing his family's dirty laundry.

Ning Yuanjia puffed out his chest and said with feigned sigh, "Your product is technologically outdated and immature in every aspect. We need to learn how to use backend software algorithms to solve hardware problems. Forget it, watch me."

He was speaking in Chinese.

It was meant for the leaders present to hear.

It's both showing off and embarrassing.

The leaders were very pleased to hear this.

The PhD from Fudan University ridiculed and looked down on the PhD from the University of Tokyo, pointing out their lack of technical skill, and the other party seemed completely convinced... Even as a Chinese person, I could feel this sense of pride, even if I wasn't a participant in the project.

Then, the presentation begins.

Similarly, when multiple campus cards were taken out and brought close to the card reader's signal range, the card reader did not attempt to read the information from multiple campus cards at the same time; it only read the closest one.

They performed very consistently!

Dr. Kawaguchi bowed to Ning Yuanjia, saying, "I have learned a great deal!"

Ning Yuanjia laughed and said, "If there's anything you don't know, just ask me."

"Oh, and..."

Dr. Kawaguchi also seized the opportunity.

Ning Yuanjia didn't even need to pick anything; he proactively presented some errors and bugs that had plagued the University of Tokyo campus card for many years, hoping Dr. Ning could provide guidance.

Then came the repeated slaps in the face.

Dr. Kawaguchi admitted his mistake and bowed.

Ning Yuanjia achieved a crushing victory and even received thanks from the other side. This was after the demonstration of the meal card function concluded.

Next is the attendance function.

Dr. Kawaguchi didn't show up, and awkwardly said, "Dr. Ning, our campus card doesn't have this function enabled yet."

"Huh? Why?"

Ning Yuanjia already knew, but he was still asking a question he already knew the answer to.

Dr. Kawaguchi said, "There are some technical limitations. We use radio frequency chips from Tokyo Electron, which have relatively low information storage capacity and cannot perform so many functions."

“The radio frequency chip is no good…” Ning Yuanjia frowned. “So, your campus card is outdated in every aspect! It’s inferior to our product in every single aspect.”

"Yes, yes!"

Dr. Kawaguchi nodded and bowed in acknowledgment.

Ning Yuanjia said unhappily, "Your product's technology is so immature, and there are so many hidden dangers that haven't been resolved. Why would you choose to export the project? Are you going to sell such an unfinished product to our school?"

Dr. Kawaguchi, with the pragmatism of a researcher, explained, "It was an invitation from your esteemed university. We had already sent relevant explanatory materials to your school, clearly explaining the many shortcomings of our campus card."

"Really?" Ning Yuanjia's eyes widened. "How come I didn't know?"

Zhou Haoran was also shocked. "You distributed the materials? Where? Dean, did you see them?"

Dean Cheng said calmly, "No."

"Vice Principal Yang?"

Zhou Haoran then looked at another school leader he was quite familiar with.

Vice Principal Yang shook his head slightly, "I don't know, this is not a project I'm in charge of."

Zhang Xuezhen broke out in a cold sweat and quickly said, "I already sent the relevant materials to the Computer Science Department. Didn't you see them?"

“If it were published, the administration would have a record.” Dean Cheng, despite his advanced age and seniority as an academician, was not afraid of him at all. “I had someone check before I came, and there was absolutely nothing there.”

Vice Principal Zhang Xuezhen had lost all composure. "Could something have gone wrong somewhere?"

"Really?" Dean Cheng glanced at him. "President Zhang, there's something I've been wanting to ask you. You want to introduce the University of Tokyo's campus card, and you even said it's a political task that must be completed. It involves the return of the port, and I won't say anything if you want to commit research fraud. But, why weren't any people from the Computer Science Department present during the evaluation of the imported project?"

"How about we talk about it later?" After being questioned repeatedly, Zhang Xuezhen actually wanted the demonstration to continue. "Let's continue looking at the product now!"

The leader surnamed Jiang said in a deep voice, "I think it's unnecessary. We can clearly see which campus card has stronger and more stable technology. President Zhang, I think you should explain this matter clearly. I haven't been to university, and I really don't understand how a university like Fudan University can so brazenly commit research fraud?"

"No, this is also..."

Zhang Xuezhen felt a chill run down his spine, sensing a tremendous sense of crisis.

In terms of rank, he was only one level below this city leader.

However, the two are not the same concept at all.

You can't ask this kind of question in front of foreigners.

That concludes today's presentation.

In this epic showdown between China and Japan, Zhou Haoran's team emerged victorious with an overwhelming advantage!
However, there are more important things to deal with right now.

Jiang Feibiao is truly a brother.

Since they're being so kind, we should seize the opportunity!

Despite not being of the appropriate rank, Zhou Haoran brazenly followed the school leaders and said in a deep voice, "Principal Zhang, I still don't understand. Our school already has its own campus card, which is a national-level science and technology project and has been approved by the central leadership. Why do you still want to introduce the University of Tokyo's campus card?"

"The technology from the University of Tokyo isn't... I'm not doing this to connect with the Chinese University of Hong Kong..."

Zhang Xuezhen was almost incoherent.

Zhou Haoran said calmly, "Fine, even if you're doing this to provide technical support to our compatriots in Hong Kong, you should first confirm that our campus card technology is inadequate before you contact the University of Tokyo, right?"

“I have some understanding of this.”

Zhang Xuezhen gave him a deep look, her expression stern, as if issuing a warning.

I don't want him to talk.

Zhou Haoran chuckled, "Principal Zhang, I'm in charge of this lab, and no one from the university has ever come to investigate our products. May I ask, who did you send? And how did you conclude that our campus card is inferior to the University of Tokyo's campus card?"

"This is a school matter; you don't know the details."

Zhang Xuezhen secretly decided that he would have to find a way to teach this kid a lesson later. Trying to cause trouble at a time like this was simply outrageous!
"Hmm?" Vice Mayor Jiang narrowed his eyes and turned to look at him. "Principal Zhang, you're quite the big shot!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuezhen's legs suddenly went weak.

Now that Zhou Haoran had a powerful backer, he became even more unscrupulous, saying calmly, "Principal Zhang, there's something else I'd like to ask you. I heard that the school is planning to purchase 1000 computers soon, with a total value that may exceed 1000 million yuan. That's a huge order. It seems you gave the order to HP? Why didn't you give domestic brands like Lenovo and Great Wall a chance? Principal Zhang, you seem to really like buying foreign products!"

"What's going on?" Vice Mayor Jiang's eyes widened. "Isn't the policy stipulated that, where conditions permit, domestic brands should be given priority in procurement? Such a large order was directly awarded to a foreign company?"

Zhou Haoran sighed, "If it were a public tender, it would be understandable if a domestic brand lost the bid. Principal Zhang, why didn't you put out a tender for an order worth over 1000 million?"

"No bidding?" Vice Mayor Jiang's face was grave. "Principal Yang, it seems there are significant loopholes in your school's management."

This is the real Principal Yang.

He is also a scientist.

They didn't talk much the whole way.

He then realized what was going on and said seriously, "I propose that we immediately convene an office meeting to discuss Comrade Zhang Xuezhen's case!"
