Life 1984

Chapter 417 Acacia Cloud Sea

Li Yunhai came to the Research Institute and participated in the test of the X64 chip with Professor Ni, Jiang Zhiyuan, Ji Wenshu and others.

However, as he expected, the test results slapped him hard.

The X64 chip developed by the scientific research institute fell far short of expectations.

Li Yunhai was not the first to propose the X64 architecture. Intel and AMD were also studying it. After the former launched the X64 architecture, it was completely incompatible with the original X86, making it unsaleable.

In his view, X64 supports larger memory space and higher data processing capabilities. It utilizes a 64-bit data bus to provide higher data throughput and larger register capacity, thereby providing faster computing speed and higher data processing capabilities. And should be fully compatible with existing X86.

After reading the test results, Li Yunhai said to Professor Ni: "The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard."

Professor Ni is a man who becomes more courageous as he fights. When doing scientific research, failure is normal. What's more, they didn't fail, but achieved phased results. However, this result is not satisfactory.

Li Yunhai does not limit the time for scientific research, but he must be one step ahead!
If other companies succeed in developing it first, Sihai Group will have no choice but to follow behind others.

It is always easier to be first than to be late.

X64 is a 64-bit processor architecture. The main difference between it and X86 lies in the number of bit differences, memory and addressing capabilities, performance and compatibility.

Researching X64 costs a lot of money and time.

Now that the initial product can be developed, it means that the direction is right. The next step is to continuously improve and improve.

Compared with chips, Li Yunhai now cares more about research on graphics cards.

Li Yunhai needs to redefine GPU, thereby greatly promoting the development of the PC gaming market, redefining modern computer graphics technology, and revolutionizing parallel computing.

To do this is no less difficult than chip research.

To this end, Li Yunhai needs more chip scientists to join the scientific research institute.

When having dinner together in the evening, Li Yunhai, Professor Ni and others were drinking and discussing.

Professor Ni said that it is best to cooperate with scientific research institutions in the United States. In any case, the chip technology of the United States is indeed far ahead of ours. It is necessary to learn from the foreigners and use their skills to defeat the foreigners.

Li Yunhai also thinks that this matter is feasible. This time when participating in the CES exhibition, he can seek cooperation with scientific research institutes in the United States.

On the way back, he passed by the Tianhua Building dormitory and subconsciously looked at a room on the second floor.

The lights in the room were on.

But Shen Xiulan was clearly not at home.

Li Yunhai drove into the courtyard of the dormitory building, walked to the door, and knocked on the door.

He immediately realized that the person living in Shen Xiulan's house was Yang Xiaoying.

Because the house needs to be lived in, otherwise it will become moldy and lack vitality.

The door creaked open.

Yang Xiaoying was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and combing her long hair. She looked like she had just taken a shower and had a fresh and elegant atmosphere.

"Mr. Li! Come in quickly." Yang Xiaoying was very happy and invited Li Yunhai inside.

Li Yunhai nodded: "I'm passing by, come up and have a look."

He looked at the green plants Shen Xiulan had planted before and saw the lush branches and leaves, and said, "You have taken good care of them."

Yang Xiaoying stood in front of the tea table, turned over a teacup from the tea tray, put in a handful of tea leaves, picked up the kettle and filled it with boiling water, and said: "I move to the windowsill to bask in the sun every day, and occasionally let the green plants get wet. Some natural rainwater. Mr. Li, come over and have tea."

"Okay, thank you."

"Mr. Li, sit here and warm yourself by the fire. I've made a fire."

Li Yunhai sat down, lifted up the tablecloth, and put his hands and feet inside. The warmth of the fire immediately warmed him up.

"What do you usually do when you are alone?" Li Yunhai asked.

"I watch TV and read books at home. Mr. Shen left a lot of novels. Every one of them is very interesting."

"it is good."

Yang Xiaoying brought a plate of melon seeds over and invited Li Yunhai to eat them.

Li Yunhai said: "Don't be busy, I'll sit down and go home."

There is a novel spread out on the table.

Li Yunhai took it over and took a look. It was "Pride and Prejudice" that Shen Xiulan had read.

He knew there was such a famous book, but because it was a women's novel, he had not finished reading it.

There is a bookmark tucked into the page.

The signature is written in beautiful handwriting: "The clouds are floating in the deep sea, and the lovesickness is white."

This is obviously Shen Xiulan's handwriting.

Li Yunhai suddenly missed her very much.

He has been too busy recently to go to Shanghai to visit Shen Xiulan.

The two of them would talk on the phone when they had time.

Yang Xiaoying's voice suddenly came over: "Mr. Li, do you miss Mr. Shen?"

Li Yunhai raised his head and looked at her in shock: "What did you say?"

Yang Xiaoying covered her mouth and said slightly panicked: "Mr. Li, I, I saw you looking at this bookmark in a daze, so I thought you were missing Mr. Shen."

Li Yunhai held up the bookmark: "What's wrong with this bookmark?"

Yang Xiaoying blushed and said, "The sea of clouds on the bookmark is you!"

Li Yunhai frowned: "What else do you know? Tell me!"

Yang Xiaoying knew that she had stirred up a hornet's nest, so she could only bite the bullet and continue: "Mr. Li, I know that you and Mr. Shen are a couple."

Li Yunhai's eyes instantly became extremely sharp, like knives and arrows, seeming to pierce Yang Xiaoying's heart, and asked slowly:
"How did you know?"

Yang Xiaoying did not dare to look at Li Yunhai, she lowered her head and muttered: "Mr. Li, I have seen you two together."

"What do you mean? Have you seen what Xiulan and I were doing together?"

"I saw you guys playing bobo."

"When?"

"That, that night, I was on my way back from work. I didn't mean to see you! I didn't know, you were just popping on the road."

"Dabao?"

"Just a kiss."

"Uh--"

Li Yunhai's mind was in turmoil.

How can you avoid getting your shoes wet if you often walk by the river?
His relationship with Shen Xiulan was unrestrained, and they often didn't care about the occasion or location. It was only a matter of time before someone saw or found out.

Fortunately, the person I saw was Yang Xiaoying!

Based on Li Yunhai's understanding of her, this woman is very easy to handle.

After Shen Xiulan comes back, she needs someone to take care of her, and Yang Xiaoying is undoubtedly a good candidate.

"Xiaoying," Li Yunhai smiled slightly, "Have you ever told anyone about this matter?"

Yang Xiaoying was very scared at this moment, and said with a slight trembling: "No, no one has told me. I saw you like this just now, so I couldn't help but say it. Mr. Li, don't worry, I am very strict. I will never tell anyone else about it."

"Very good." Li Yunhai patted the back of her hand and said, "Don't be nervous. You are right. I miss Mr. Shen very much. Mr. Shen will be back in a few months, and you don't have to move out by then. Just live with Mr. Shen and let you take care of her, okay?"

"I have no objection. Mr. Li, I will obey your arrangements."

"Okay. Remember, no one can talk about this matter."

"I know how powerful it is. Even if you kill me, you won't say anything about it."

"Ha ha!"

Li Yunhai opened his briefcase, took out a wad of money, put it in Yang Xiaoying's hand, and said, "This is for you, take the flowers."

Yang Xiaoying was like a hot potato, and she quickly refused: "Mr. Li, I don't want it. I don't want your money, and I will listen to you."

Li Yunhai grabbed her hand and put the money in her hand again: "Don't be too little, use it to buy yourself some delicious food and some beautiful clothes. Okay, I'm going home."

After Yang Xiaoying sent Li Yunhai away, she tightly grasped the money in her hand and bit the corner of her mouth.

She knew that this was the hush money paid by Li Yunhai to her.

She knew without counting that it was ten thousand dollars, all in hundred-dollar bills, with bank seals on them.

This amount of money is equivalent to several years of her salary, and she has not saved such a large amount of savings after working for several years.

Yang Xiaoying was at a loss for a while while holding the money.

Li Yunhai returned home.

The child has gone to bed, and Lin Zhi is talking to someone on the phone.

Li Yunhai sat down next to her.

Lin Zhi hung up the phone and said with a smile, "Xiulan and I are on the phone."

"Xiulan? Did she call?"

"Yes, she said she misses her hometown very much. She also said that she can't go to CES this time. I hope we can achieve good results."

Li Yunhai thought to himself that Lin Zhi was too small-minded and would not let him say a few words when talking to Shen Xiulan on the phone.

At noon the next day, Li Yunhai came to Shen Xiulan's house.

Shen Guoming and Fang Peihua had just returned from get off work and were cooking.

They were surprised to see Li Yunhai arriving.

Li Yunhai took out a package, put it on the coffee table, and said, "Uncle, aunt, this is what Xiulan asked me to deliver to you."

Shen Guoming quickly picked up the package, weighed it, and asked, "What is this?"

The package was tied with a rope and felt as heavy as candy. Li Yunhai said: "I don't know either. She asked me to bring it back when I went to Shanghai last time. I have something else to do, so I won't bother you."

After speaking, he turned and left.

When Shen Guoming chased him out, Li Yunhai's car had already driven out of the yard.

Fang Peihua stopped cooking and shouted to her husband: "Open it and see what it is?"

Shen Guoming said: "Xiulan people are in Shanghai, why do they bring us such a big bag of candies?"

Fang Peihua smiled and said: "Candy from Shanghai? It must be delicious. This child finally has some conscience and knows that her mother loves to eat sweets."

Shen Guoming returned to the living room, opened the package, and made a sound.

Fang Peihua looked over and was startled.

Where are the sweets?
All cash!

Hundred-dollar bills!

There are ten large bundles.

"This is [-] yuan!" Shen Guoming couldn't calm down and said, "Xiulan gave us so much money, and she didn't even say a word! What are you doing?"

Fang Peihua put the plate on the table and said, "Don't you know if I call her later?"

Shen Guoming said: "No, where did Xiulan get so much money?"

"Maybe it's her salary and bonus?"

"Even if she has so much salary and bonuses, with her temper, she can't give them all to us! She has [-] yuan, and she can give us [-] yuan at most!"

"That's true. Her ability to manage money is as good as mine."

"So I think the money came from a strange source."

"Wouldn't it be clear if I just asked?"

After dinner, Shen Guoming went outside and found a public phone to call his eldest daughter.

Shen Xiulan happened to be at home and answered the phone.

"Dad! Is something wrong?"

"Xiulan, did you ask Yunhai to bring something to us?"

"Oh! Really! Did he give it to you?" Shen Xiulan was also smart and followed her father's words.

"What did you ask him to send us?"

"No matter what it is, here it is, just accept it."

Shen Guoming was speechless, so he had to get straight to the point and said, "That's 10 yuan in cash!"

Shen Xiulan felt moved, knowing that it was given to her parents by Li Yunhai, and said: "I made a big order and gave some bonuses. This money is for you. You can install a phone at home! It will be easier to contact you in the future. ."

"Okay, I understand. Xiulan, how long will you have to work in Shanghai? Your mother and I miss you."

"By June."

"How long will it take?"

Shen Xiulan thought to herself, I want to have a baby and have a confinement period, can't it take so long?
If I hadn't been afraid of you finding out, I wouldn't have had to come to Shanghai.

"Business here in Shanghai is better than in Xizhou. Look how much money I made as soon as I came here!"

"That's okay. The weather is getting cold, so take care of yourself outside and keep warm."

"Dad, I understand. So do you. Take care."

After ending the call, Shen Xiulan let out a faint sigh.

Only when you raise a child do you know how kind your parents are, and when your son travels a thousand miles, your mother will be worried.

When Shen Xiulan was in Xizhou, every time she met her parents, they would always argue endlessly and found them extremely annoying.

Now that they were separated, she missed her parents again.

In a blink of an eye, it’s time to attend CES.

Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi packed their bags and led the company team to set off to Las Vegas.

Long-distance travel is very painful, especially for women who rarely go out.

Lin Zhi used to love traveling, but in the past two years, due to pregnancy and childbirth, she has basically not traveled far.

On the plane, the first few hours were fine, but after sitting for a long time, Lin Zhi's adverse reactions started.

"Yunhai, I feel very uncomfortable." Lin Zhi held her husband's hand tightly, suppressing the discomfort in her chest.

"Airsick?" Li Yunhai asked.

"It seems a bit. Sitting for too long makes it very uncomfortable."

"We'll be there in a few hours." Li Yunhai could only comfort her and massage the cleft of her wrist.

Professor Ni heard this, took out a box of medicine and handed it to Li Yunhai: "Take one pill for Mr. Lin, and then go to bed after eating, and you won't feel airsick anymore."

Li Yunhai glanced at the name of the medicine, took out a pill, and handed it to Lin Zhi to eat.

After taking the medicine, Lin Zhi felt drowsy and fell asleep quickly.

Li Yunhai tugged on the blanket on her body and put her hand under the blanket.

After arriving in the casino, Li Yunhai and the others stayed at the hotel they had booked before.

After Lin Zhi took a shower, she fell into bed and went to sleep.

Li Yunhai took everyone to the CES exhibition hall.

Sihai Group has established a branch in New York, and the exhibition layout work here is left to the local branch.

This gave Li Yunhai and the others a lot of peace of mind.

The person in charge of the branch is an American in his 30s named Brown. This person is full of energy, speaks and does things with great enthusiasm, giving people the impression of being resolute and resolute.

Perhaps the fast-paced life in New York is like this, making everyone in it spin like clockwork.

The headquarters assigns tasks to branches every month, including how many dealers to develop and how much performance to achieve, otherwise there will be no performance bonuses. If the standards are not met for several consecutive months, the headquarters will consider changing the coach.

Under this invisible high pressure, branch employees must work hard to avoid being eliminated.

Competition in New York is extremely high, not just for companies, but for employees as well. I don’t know how many people come to look for work every year, and I don’t know how many people are unemployed.

The salary package offered by Sihai Group is not low. In order to keep this job, the people in the branch can only go all out.

The North American market is also one of Li Yunhai's favorite markets. He hopes to achieve great results by relying on the North American market.

Brown reported to the headquarters on his work over the past month.

He made a lot of talk, and the central idea was that because he came to the casino to set up the exhibition, the progress of the work was delayed, and he hoped that the headquarters could forgive them.

Li Yunhai thought to himself, the exhibition arrangement was in January, and your performance last month has not been completed yet. Could it be that it was also hindered by the exhibition arrangement?
The North American market has always been sluggish, which made Li Yunhai very angry.

But even if he himself comes to take charge, I'm afraid there won't be much change.

Because he is not familiar with the North American market.

But now he has found the reason and feels that Brown and his team have quite a problem.

Li Yunhai did not criticize Brown on the spot, let alone fire him.

It is now during the CES exhibition, and he needs the whole company to be united and united as one.

The CES show only lasts four days.

Everything will be settled after these four days.

Seeing that Li Yunhai was so easy to talk to, Brown thought his deception was successful and was very happy.

Brown gushed about the arrangement of the exhibition to Li Yunhai, saying how attentive he was and that he had spent a lot of time decorating every little detail.

In fact, the entire exhibition effect is designed by the headquarters and then sent to Brown. The people in the branch only need to set up the exhibition according to the drawings.

Brown left another bad impression on Li Yunhai by talking too much.

Li Yunhai wanted to test his sales ability again, so he kept him as a salesman at CES.

At last year's CES show, Li Yunhai and his colleagues achieved good results, but unfortunately fell short because the chip got stuck.

When making a comeback this time, Li Yunhai is working hard and must achieve great results.

Lin Xiaofeng and Li Yunhai discussed whether they should also ask MJ to advertise?
Li Yunhai feels that MJ's advertising effect is quite good. If it weren't for the impact of chips last year, Alienware computers would definitely sell well.

So he decided to continue working with MJ.

He personally contacted Xiaosi and asked her to contact MJ, saying that he would still ask MJ to advertise Alien Computers this year.

Xiaosi exclaimed: "Mr. Li, have you arrived at the casino? I'm here too! Let's meet in the evening! I miss you!"

Li Yunhai did not lose his mind because of this.

When a foreign woman says she misses you, it may just be a spoken word, just like the Chinese saying she will treat you to dinner another day.

Don't take it seriously, otherwise you will lose.

Li Yunhai chuckled and said, "Okay, where can we meet in the evening?"

"Exotic bar."

"Where is the exotic bar?"

"Right on the Las Vegas Strip, next to the Bellagio."

"Okay, I know it's there, it's very close."

"OK, we'll see you tonight!"
