Chapter 491: Good News and Bad News
And for our allies, especially those that have not yet developed quantum computers.
Even a quantum computer with castrated performance is enough to bring about a qualitative improvement in the speed of their technological development.
As partners in the same organization, what we want to see most is that they develop better and do not pose any threat to us.
Only in this state can we get closer to the goal of building a community with a shared future for mankind and put world development truly on the right track.
At this time, Luo Wenkun added:
"I agree with Professor Xu. After all, we are all partners in the global village. There is no real enemy. However, in the purchase process, it is better to comply with the standards as much as possible. For example, the export tariffs and other necessary procedures cannot be ignored."
Hearing Luo Wenkun's words, people in the conference hall couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Everyone feels that we should be more rigorous in this regard.
Finally, after several rounds of discussions, everyone finally determined the quota allocation for the Fulong mini quantum machine .
Most of the places are allocated to major national scientific research institutions.
Organizations like the National Go Team, which have a strong demand for high-performance computing equipment, also got the application quota they wished.
As for those users whose application reasons are not sufficient and who do not have such an urgent need for quantum computer equipment, they will be placed on a waiting list and can only wait for the next equipment to be produced before they can get a chance.
…
Across the ocean.
"Come in."
Hearing the knock on the door, the white-haired old man whispered.
A man in a suit walked in upon hearing the sound and bowed slightly to the white-haired old man.
"Sir, there is good news and bad news."
"Oh? Then let me tell you the good news first."
He has heard too much bad news these days.
The United States, which once dominated the world, has been declining little by little without anyone noticing in the past few years.
If Sam's dominant position is already in jeopardy, he may lose the throne at any time.
"Sir, Fulong Technology has approved our application and agreed to our shopping order."
"Oh? They actually approved our application?"
The white-haired old man was also very surprised to hear the news.
Originally, they placed this order on the official website of Fulon Technology without having much hope.
After all, the various bans they had previously implemented were indeed very unfriendly to rabbits.
Among these companies, Fulun Technology has been the hardest hit, without a doubt.
Today, they can still repay evil with kindness in this way, which truly demonstrates the traditional virtues of China.
"I think this should not be a decision made by Fulong Technology alone. They must have hated us for a long time and it is unlikely that they would be so generous to accept our order. This decision must have been instructed by someone at a higher level."
Unfortunately, the white-haired old man guessed part of the story, but not the whole story.
Seeing that the man in the suit did not respond, the white-haired old man suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, you just said that in addition to the good news, there is also bad news. What is this bad news?"
"Um... sir, they said that the quantum computer equipment we purchased needs to pay the highest export tariff."
"Oh? The highest standard? They really are vindictive."
However, even at the highest tariff rate, each device would only cost a few tens of thousands of yuan more.
This is not a big expense for them.
"If it were just this bad news, it wouldn't be worth mentioning. Just transfer a little more money from the treasury. We can still afford this amount."
"Sir, that's not all. Although they approved our order application, the quantity delivered did not meet our requirements."
"Oh? Is it because of insufficient shipments? That doesn't matter. After all, they only have a thousand units in total. How many units are missing?"
“They were only willing to sell us one.”
"Only willing to sell... one?"
Hearing this, the white-haired old man's right hand froze in mid-air for a moment.
You know, the initial quantity they applied to purchase was as much as one hundred units.
If it is difficult to meet the shipment target, it is understandable to sell less.
However, it would be a bit too unreasonable to just sell one.
"This is really too much! Such an action is obviously a deliberate revenge against us!"
In his rage, the old man's whole body was shaking violently.
After venting his anger, the old man finally calmed down.
"Sir, do we still want to place an order for this device?"
The white-haired old man hesitated for a while, but finally gritted his teeth and agreed.
After all, today, only Fulun Technology in the world has the technology to produce such small quantum computers.
If I have the chance, I will definitely buy one and study it carefully.
No matter how aggrieved you are, you still have to make the wisest choice when it comes to interests.
…
After completing the allocation of all equipment, Fulun Technology announced the product allocation quotas on its official website.
When everyone saw these lists, they started discussing them.
"I heard that the 20 quantum computers that Fulong Technology distributed to the Soviet Union were given away for free. According to the market price of the product, this is 100 million Chinese yuan."
"Ordinary people certainly can't afford such expensive equipment. Only large companies and scientific research institutions have the financial resources to do so."
"Did you notice that Sam was only allocated one machine? Even our country's Go team was allocated two Fulong mini quantum machines."
"Giving Sam one is already a great honor. When they implemented the ban, they didn't sell us a single chip."
When Sam received this one and only mini quantum computer device, the entire research team cherished it very much.
They touched the machine carefully , fearing that they would accidentally damage it.
After all, there is only this .
"I never thought that a quantum computer could be made so miniature."
Compared with the previous huge quantum computers, Fulun Technology can be said to have pushed the technology to its extreme.
At this time, someone raised a question.
"You think they deliberately sold us a machine. Could it be that it has some hidden functions, such as eavesdropping?"
