After meeting him, Nie Rong nodded to Jiang Bo and said nothing extra.

However, Dean Zhang introduced to Jiang Bo, "Nie Rong, like you, went to work after graduating from university, but two years later, he found that his education and knowledge were not enough, so he returned to school to continue his studies and obtained a doctorate degree. Now he has opened a software company in Yanjing, and he is already worth tens of millions of dollars.

His experience is worth learning and learning from."

Nie Rong smiled: "Director, you are over-reputable."

Is this old man still mentioning this matter when he has dinner? Although he has good intentions, Jiang Bo is a little amused and crying, but he can only nod his head.

At the dinner table, Dean Zhang and Nie Rong quickly put the topic away from Jiang Bo.

Halfway through the meal, Dean Zhang suddenly said, "Nie Rong, I remember your Xinrong Company is preparing to build a supercomputing center? Maybe our school can provide you with some help..."

Nie Rong coughed, "Dean, stop, I know what you want to say, but you better stop talking."

Dean Zhang said the words and said nothing, "I haven't even said it, you know what I want to say? Then what do you think I want to say?"

Nie Rong smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, Dean, let's tell the truth. Principal Han had already mentioned this to me before, but I really had no choice.

Our company wants to build a supercomputer center, but I don’t have the final say in the company alone. I have many partners.

Moreover, the supercomputer value in the school is nearly one billion, so we don’t have that much budget.”

President Zhang said: "The issue of price can be discussed slowly."

Nie Rong said: "In addition to price, computing speed is also a big problem. The supercomputing center we are preparing to build is used to study AI running data, and the peak speed will not exceed 5,000 tflops.

However, the peak speed of supercomputing in the school is ten times that of our target supercomputing, comparable to that of Tianhe No. 2.

Our budget is only 200 million yuan. Will the school agree to pay us a supercomputer worth nearly one billion yuan to 200 million yuan?"

Dean Zhang: “…”

You think so beautifully. How can you pay 200 million to you if you have something worth 1 billion, even if you have a son, it’s not possible.

Seeing that Dean Zhang was speechless, Nie Rong continued, "To be honest, even if the school really sold it to me for only 200 million yuan, I wouldn't dare to ask for it."

The electricity bill is not low now. The school’s supercomputer runs for a year and costs tens of millions of electricity. The burden is too great, and the later maintenance fee will be several millions a year."

President Zhang said dissatisfiedly: "It's annoying to say this. What do you mean by selling it to you for 200 million yuan? Do you think it's too power-consuming?

The energy consumption of supercomputers is calculated based on the number of calculation nodes. It does not require that much, so don't turn it on all of them.

If you open a one-tenth or one-tenth computing node, will the electricity bill be reduced accordingly?"

Nie Rong looked resentful: "Dean, it's not sweet."

Dean Zhang: "No matter whether it is sweet or not, it can quench its thirst."

Nie Rong was about to cry: "Okay, okay, I understand the difficulties of the school, but the supercomputer in the school is indeed not in our company's plan.

In this way, in order to express my apology, I will donate 10 million yuan to support the school's education and research under my personal name."

Dean Zhang seemed to suffer a loss when he heard this and sighed: "Oh, since I can't tell you, I won't be able to make trouble. I donate 10 million yuan. You are willing to thank you on behalf of the teachers and students of the school."

Nie Rong waved his hand and said with a sarcastic smile: "This is what I deserve, you are too polite."

President Zhang frowned: "It's just a matter of supercomputing. You have a wide range of ways. You can ask us if there is any company that needs that thing."

Nie Rong breathed a sigh of relief and just didn't let him take over. He nodded quickly and said, "This is OK, but Dean, I'm puzzled.

This supercomputer center comparable to Tianhe No. 2 can be regarded as a national weapon. It is a signboard of the school, but why should the school rush to take it off?

This is unreasonable.”

Dean Zhang coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Super Calculation is a good thing, the calculation speed is comparable to that of Tianhe 2, and the energy consumption ratio is even better than that of Tianhe 2. It is a national weapon. At the beginning, the school also thought so.

But after it was actually built, we realized that there was no need at all.

We do not engage in the evolution of the Big Bang, nor do we do numerical simulations of neutrinos and dark matter. We only conduct some research on biomedicine and new materials, and will not even involve cloud computing, weather forecasts and big data.

Other universities in Yangcheng also have their own computer clusters and will not spend money to borrow our supercomputers.

Alas, so the supercomputer has been built for half a year, and the number of times it has not exceeded 100 times. The total usage time is less than 1. What is this supercomputer center used for?

It's useless, I can only sell it if I think about it."

Nie Rong was amused and crying. So that's the case, "If you say so, the supercomputer in the school really didn't use the steel blade."

President Zhang said helplessly: "So, the school leaders are also anxious now. Principal Han has lost a lot of hair because of this..."

Jiang Bo couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Hair loss can be used to treat hair loss. Hair loss is very effective."

Dean Zhang: “???”

Nie Rong: "..."

What are we talking about and what are you talking about?

Junior Brother Jiang, can we pee in a pot?

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward, and both of them stopped talking.

Jiang Bo said slowly at this time: "I listened to it for a while and I understand it. Dean, what you mean is that the school plans to transfer the supercomputer center, right?"

Dean Zhang: "That's right."

Jiang Bo: "It only includes hardware facilities for supercomputing, or does it include all software systems?"

Dean Zhang smiled and said, "All of it is included. Why do you ask this? Could it be that you have a way out?"

Jiang Bo thought about it and replied: "There is no road to the outside department, but I want to buy it myself."

Dean Zhang: “???”

Nie Rong: "???"

Buy it yourself? What do you do when you buy a supercomputer? You don’t want to buy a supercomputer to play games, right?

Nie Rong smiled and said, "Junior Brother Jiang's words are quite funny."

Dean Zhang glared at Jiang Bo: "Don't joke, you boy, I'm still worried."

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious."

"Then do you know how much the school's supercomputer is worth?" Dean Zhang couldn't help laughing.

"Isn't it just nearly one billion yuan? As long as you negotiate and sign the contract, you can transfer the money to you today." Jiang Bo said indifferently.

Just one billion, is Jiang still short of that little money?

Dean Zhang: “…”

Seeing that Jiang Bo spoke so easily and freehand, Dean Zhang and Nie Rong were a little fascinated for a moment.
