A genius? I just love studying.

Chapter 206 A Troublemaker (Second Update)

Not long after leaving the lab and finishing his business, Chen Hui returned to his office. He had his own things to do and couldn't stay with the delegation the whole time.

E Weinan borrowed an office next to Chen Hui's and began to study Chen Hui's mathematical model. He planned to try to convert the mathematical model into a computer model himself.

Even if we can't finish it, we should try our best to understand Schultz's model thoroughly.

As for the visit, he had long forgotten about it. Nothing was more important than research now. As for the visit, who cares?

Chen Hui originally planned to bring in professors from the School of Computer Science to work on the coding, but with Academician E Weinan joining, it became unnecessary, as Academician E Weinan is an expert in machine learning.

He's not alone; he has a mature team. They may not be as good at coding as Microsoft's professional team, but they are more than capable of reviewing and maintaining the code once they get it.

If Wei Xiong knew that when he was competing with someone for resources in the conference room, the opportunity that originally belonged to him was taken away, I wonder if he would cry himself to death in the bathroom.

At the same time, a Wenjie M9 drove into the gate of Jiangcheng University and slowly drove to the roadside in front of the cherry blossom top.

The car stopped, and an old man got out, looked at the long staircase in front of him, and sighed.

The car couldn't go up to the top of the cherry blossoms; the long stairs were too inconvenient for the old man.

"Should I go and call him down?"

The middle-aged man standing next to the old man asked.

The old man waved his hand, "No need, let's go see him."

"In retrospect, he helped us a lot and saved our lives. There's no reason for me to let my savior come to see me."

The old man spoke as he stepped forward, came to the bottom of the steps, rested for a moment, and then climbed the steps.

dong dong dong...

Chen Hui had barely sat down when he was interrupted by a knock on the door, forcing him to look away.

He saw an old man he had never seen before standing outside the door, smiling at him.

The office door is usually left open, but out of politeness, visitors naturally won't just walk in.

"Friend Chen Hui."

The elderly man greeted him proactively, saying, "I am Ren Woxing, the head of Youwei Group."

"Hello, please come in and have a seat."

Chen Hui got up, led the old man in, and moved a chair for him to sit down.

Youwei Group is a very famous company in China. Putting aside the controversies surrounding it, one thing is undeniable: Youwei Group is a Chinese enterprise and a bridgehead against Western exploitation.

Chen Hui admires their backbone in not bowing down to Western oppression.

They were able to make breakthroughs even under the constraints of Western influence, and Chen Hui admired their spirit of dedication.

So he was very polite and turned to pour Mr. Ren a cup of tea.

"I heard that young friend Chen Hui is currently applying for supercomputing resources?"

After Ren Woxing sat down, he accepted the tea with a smile, took a small sip, and said with a grin.

Before Chen Hui could answer, he continued, "We have a group that can provide you with a supercomputer!"

Chen Hui was somewhat tempted. As a major player in the electronics industry, Youwei Group not only had its own supercomputing center, but it was also far ahead of the competition.

Their Atlas 900 has a peak performance of 9.8 quadrillion operations per second, which is almost comparable to the Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer. The peak performance of Jiangcheng University's supercomputing center is only 7 quadrillion floating-point operations per second, a difference of more than ten times.

Of course, behind this terrifying computing power lies an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, which is the allure of capital.

Furthermore, not many people knew about his application for a supercomputer, yet the other party contacted him so quickly; they really have extraordinary connections!

"What do I have to give?"

Chen Hui neither refused nor immediately agreed; he couldn't refuse the offer from Youwei Group.

Every gift of fate comes with a price already marked in secret; he just wants to find out the price before deciding whether to accept it.

Ren Woxing smiled and shook his head, "You don't need to give anything in return."

"Consider it our sponsorship for your research project."

Chen Hui also shook his head, "I can't accept a reward without merit..."

"I think you misunderstood."

Ren Woxing interrupted Chen Hui, saying, "Not to mention the thermoelectric materials you developed before, which facilitated the cooperation between Huahui Group and ASML and solved our urgent problem, this is what we should have done."

"Take your current research for example. If it succeeds, the benefits to our company will far exceed those of the Atlas 900."

"Have you forgotten what our company does?"

Ren Woxing smiled and looked at Chen Hui.

Chen Hui suddenly realized that he had been narrow-minded.

"Alright, thank you very much for your sponsorship, Mr. Ren!"

Chen Hui didn't stand on ceremony; since the other party had said so, he didn't need to be polite either.

"You are welcome!"

"For questions about using the supercomputer, you can contact my secretary, Xiao Wang. From now on, you will have the highest level of access to Atas 900. As long as you have a task to run, other jobs will have to wait in the queue."

Ren Woxing waved, and the middle-aged man who came with him entered the office.

"Hello, I am Mr. Ren's secretary, Wang Yuntong."

The middle-aged man reached out and said, "The instructions and account information for using the supercomputer have been sent to your email. Feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions during use."

The supercomputer is also connected to the network. Chen Hui only needs to log in to the supercomputer's server via the network, upload the scripts of the tasks he needs to perform to the supercomputer server, and let the supercomputer server run the scripts.

After Ren Woxing explained everything, the two of them left Chen Hui's office without lingering.

Chen Hui opened his email and was filled with a strange feeling. He hadn't expected that the supercomputing problem would be solved in this way.

"good news!"

"I've got it done!"

"Three months!"

Wang Qiming rushed into Chen Hui's office without knocking, picked up a cup of tea, and gulped down a large mouthful.

"What, you knew I was coming, and you even prepared tea?"

Chen Hui glanced at the teacup in Wang Qiming's hand.

That's what Old Ren left over from drinking.

However, he didn't say it out loud; some things, if said out loud, would be bad for everyone.

Why aren't you excited at all?

"I've exceeded expectations!"

Looking at Chen Hui's calm expression, Wang Qiming felt somewhat bored.

"I was just about to look for you too."

Chen Hui stood up and solemnly said to Wang Qiming, "I'm not going to apply for the school's supercomputing resources."

"what?"

Wang Qiming's face turned pale.

Finally, with a long sigh, he said, "Alright, I respect your decision." "It's true that Jiangcheng University can't give you the resources you want, and Jiangcheng University has let you down. It's understandable that you want to go to Yanbei."

"?"

Chen Hui was both amused and exasperated. "What are you talking about?"

"When did I say I was going to Yanbei University?"

"Aren't you going to Yanbei University?"

"Then where do your supercomputing resources come from?"

"You're not going to do this project anymore?"

Wang Qiming was completely confused, not understanding what Chen Hui meant.

"Mr. Ren, the CEO of Youwei Group, just came to see me. Youwei Group will provide me with a supercomputer."

Chen Hui explained it directly to avoid Wang Qiming from automatically making wild assumptions.

"Youwei Group?"

Wang Qiming didn't relax; instead, he frowned. "Industry-university cooperation is a good thing, but you have to be careful when signing the contract. It would be best to have the professors from the law school review it."

"You should understand how much impact your achievement will have. It's never safe to have it in the hands of a businessman, even if the company is a well-known conglomerate."

Wang Qiming earnestly said, "If you really need a lot of supercomputing resources, I have another way. I can apply for a cooperation project between Jiangcheng University and Yanbei University, which will bring together the resources of both universities for you. That should be enough, right?"

Chen Hui has already cooperated with E Weinan, so cooperation between the two universities is not impossible.

"no need."

Chen Hui shook his head, "Youwei Group didn't sign any contract with me. They provided me with the Atas 900 for free."

"Free of charge?"

Wang Qiming was taken aback.

"no strings attached?"

After a while, he asked again.

"no!"

Chen Hui gave an affirmative answer.

After a long silence, Wang Qiming sighed, "As expected of Youwei Group!"

He went to great lengths, even resorting to external pressure from Yanbei University, to finally obtain three months of access. Unexpectedly, Youwei Group essentially gave Chen Hui a supercomputing center for free.

How does this compare?
Rich and powerful!

Of course, he also understood that only Chen Hui had such charisma; otherwise, why hadn't Youwei Group sponsored other scholars with such a large sum of money before?

This is also related to Chen Hui's previous synthesis of high ZT value thermoelectric materials.

In any case, the final result was good.

"Congratulations!"

Wang Qiming sighed, feeling both happy and sad.

After leaving Chen Hui's office, he walked towards Zhang Pingwen's office again.

He certainly wouldn't easily hand over the supercomputing access he had acquired, but he should at least have informed the principal and explained the situation.

On the other side, Ren Woxing had just gotten into the M9.

"Mr. Ren, are you really that confident that he will succeed?"

Wang Yuntong sat next to Ren Woxing. Even now, he still couldn't fully understand Ren Woxing's actions. This was equivalent to giving Chen Hui a supercomputing center. The construction cost of Atas was as high as hundreds of millions of Chinese yuan, and the subsequent maintenance costs were also not low.

Ren Woxing smiled and shook his head, "Even if it doesn't succeed, it's still worth our investment."

We Chinese have finally produced a genius young man. If we don't give him enough support, are we going to let him be poached by those Westerners?
China today is not what it used to be. We can afford to lose, we are not afraid of its failure, we are only afraid that it will not dare to do it!
I believe in him too; he'll definitely succeed!

Ren Woxing spoke with such certainty that Wang Yuntong seemed to see him in the same spirited manner he had when he decided to stand up to the American airlock back then.

"I hope he succeeds, otherwise he will have failed to live up to Mr. Ren's good intentions."

After a moment of silence, Wang Yuntong agreed with Ren Woxing's statement, but still sighed and said, "However, Elder Ren could have communicated this matter by phone, or let me do it. With Elder Ren's precious status, why did he have to make the trip in person?"

Ren Woxing is getting on in years and is very busy, so making such a trip is quite tiring.

"You're getting a bit too cocky now."

Ren Woxing glanced at his secretary and said, "In terms of preciousness, scientists like him are far more precious than us!"

Youwei Group has indeed achieved remarkable results in recent years, and it is inevitable that some people in high positions will become complacent. However, Ren Woxing understands that their success is inseparable from their own efforts, but more importantly, the times create heroes. This has always been the case throughout history. If he becomes complacent first, he will probably not be far from destruction.

"I made a mistake."

Wang Yuntong's heart sank as she realized the seriousness of the problem.

“After we get back, you don’t need to follow me anymore. Just focus on liaising with Chen Hui. Atas can’t afford any mistakes.”

Ren Woxing didn't even glance at his secretary, and said indifferently.

……

The visit to Yanbei University lasted for a week. Because of E Weinan's connections, they also learned that Chen Hui had received sponsorship from Youwei Group.

So after the visit, they didn't linger and left Jiangcheng cleanly and efficiently.

However, there were seven people when they came, but only six left when they left. Furthermore, Academician E Weinan's team had already arrived at Jiangcheng University a few days earlier and had merged with Professor Xiao Meng's team to begin related research work.

"what?"

"Did E Weinan stay at Jiangcheng University?"

In the dean's office of the School of Mathematics at Yanbei University, Cheng Taiyue looked at Tian Yang and Zhang Jiping and felt utterly absurd.

They went to poach someone with huge profits, but not only did they fail to get anything done, they also lost everything, including an academician and his team. This is just outrageous.

Fortunately, E Weinan did not submit a resignation application, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to say.

But judging from the current situation, he wouldn't be too surprised if E Weinan resigned in a few days and wanted to stay at Jiangcheng University.

Tian Yang sat on the sofa, silent and relaxed.

He's come to terms with it now. Whether Chen Hui comes to Yanbei University or not, he's still his grand-disciple. As long as Chen Hui develops well, that's more important than anything else.

Zhang Jiping had no choice but to explain the whole story in detail.

After listening, Cheng Taiyue sighed deeply and remained silent for a long time before saying again, "Alright, you can go back now."

Even if E Weinan really stays at Jiangcheng University and becomes the first academician of the School of Mathematics at Jiangcheng University, it doesn't matter. Yanbei University has a profound foundation after all, so having one more or one less academician won't make a big difference.

He hadn't expected that his original intention in sending E Weinan there was to use E Weinan's professional abilities to attract Chen Hui to Yanbei University, to let Chen Hui see the university's strength and know that going to Yanbei University would be more beneficial to his research.

As it turned out, Academician E Weinan was attracted to Chen Hui.

However, Eweinan's performance did give him some hope; it seemed that the little guy's project might actually have a chance of success?
He hadn't studied it in depth, but Evinan was an expert in the field, and he trusted Evinan.

Perhaps this matter should be reported to higher authorities.

Cheng Taiyue was somewhat excited.

Considering the events of recent years and the birth of another genius in China, all signs indicate that China is destined for prosperity!
