Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 835 - 286: The Young Generation’s Little Schemes
This unexpected move was, of course, Qiao Yu’s idea.
After all, most of the other members within the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance known for their seasoned and prudent nature could not have come up with such a strategy.
Brad Smith felt awkward upon hearing the news, and so did everyone else with the invitation issued by the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance.
If the invitation is sent out and ostentatiously announced on the official website, and the invitees collectively don’t show up, it would inevitably be embarrassing.
It’s well known that the big shots care a lot about face.
Not to mention that most businessmen prefer peace and profit. Such daring actions offer no actual benefits and carry little significance.
Obviously, Qiao Yu is different. Although he likes money, money is no longer his top priority. Moreover, he prefers to earn money in leaps and bounds.
The difference with Qiao Yu is that when an exceptionally talented young person makes a mistake, even God will forgive him.
So, he thought this was a good move. Everyone sat down to discuss, and after they found Qiao Yu’s reasoning very sufficient, they simply let him proceed.
Of course, it was mainly because Qiao Yu could articulate his points, and the seasoned elders did not discuss much before giving their approval.
"How about this, you send out the invitation in the name of the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance based on my plan, and I won’t meddle in how you operate and price the product. That way, everyone gets what they need. How about it?"
The elders, who initially had various objections, changed their attitudes upon hearing Qiao Yu’s words.
Although Qiao Yu said within the Quantum Simulation Algorithm and Software Research Center that he wouldn’t handle product positioning and marketing, in reality, he obviously had a say in the process. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Or to put it more plainly, even if Qiao Yu couldn’t directly decide the product pricing and marketing strategy, he could render the Alliance’s discussions inconclusive.
The fact is, too many unavoidable patents in quantum simulation computing are partially in the hands of the Quantum Alliance, and the rest are controlled by Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu holds mainly invention patents, while the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance mostly has utility model patents.
Although there is an agreement between the two parties, most invention patents have a free licensing period for enterprises related to the Quantum Simulation Computing Alliance that produce the Tai Chi Series products.
However, the Tai Chi Series will continue to update and iterate, and they are even developing other models of quantum simulation computers. For instance, server products specifically for quantum cloud platforms are already in development.
Obviously, under current technical conditions, the invention patents in Qiao Yu’s possession are unavoidable.
Therefore, everyone respects Qiao Yu very much, not to mention the irreplaceable assistance he provides in research.
A truly capable young person, no matter how proud or capricious, is always understood by others.
In fact, it’s always been like this.
Capable individuals, even if a bit proud, naturally have others defending them. The most annoying are those with no real skills and no self-awareness who like to mess around carelessly, inevitably becoming despised by all.
To Qiao Yu, he only wanted to invite Microsoft. But if he invited only Microsoft, he knew they definitely wouldn’t come.
Those people would rather stay up all night watching the live TV broadcast in the United States than come all the way to the Huaxia Capital for this product launch.
It’d be fortunate enough if they sent the president of Microsoft’s Great China Region. They might even just send a Huaxia District executive to deal with it.
So he simply invited all the major high-tech enterprises related to computers and the internet from Europe and America.
It’s almost as if the entire tech world is coming to offer congratulations.
As for why people from other countries and regions on Earth weren’t invited...
It’s mainly because they’re not up to par.
Inviting them would only diminish Qiao Yu’s status.
Although many of these companies are famous, like Samsung or Nikon, being recognized as prominent high-tech enterprises on the international stage, it means nothing without autonomy...
Alright, whether it’s right or wrong, that’s just how Qiao Yu sees it. Young people don’t need to be overly cautious.
After silently resenting Microsoft for four years, Qiao Yu can’t help but showcase his maneuvers in front of them, or else the past four years would feel wasted.
It’s a lingering thought that needs resolution.
The only regret Qiao Yu feels is that Satya Nadella, who made the decisions at Microsoft back then, has already retired.
If not, it would feel even more satisfying.
As for not attending?
Impossible!
Over the years, Qiao Yu has never lost contact with those tech companies on the other side.
After all, high-tech companies led by Google send a number of scientists every year to Yanbei University to study theories related to quantum simulation computing.
Qiao Yu can also communicate directly with high-level leaders on the other side through various channels and influence their decision-making thoughts.
Just as companies like Google, Facebook, and X worry, if general-purpose quantum simulation computers indeed replace current electronic computers in the future, will their platforms have the opportunity to transition to the new quantum simulation computing platform?
Just by chatting with those scientists in Huaxia a few more times daily, telling them there’s certainly hope, the corporate decision-making level must come to Huaxia to discuss the cooperation personally this time.
After the launch, they will no longer talk about it.
As long as these companies’ decision-makers have some rationale, Qiao Yu thinks they should make a trip.
