318: Chapter 317 Test Results and Resolutions

The text on the screen was very simple.

"Single-core score: 41,700 points; multi-core score: 56,700 points. Comprehensive score: 47,600 points."

Liu Yemei looked at the stunned crowd and spoke up to break the silence.

"How is this result? Is it qualified?"

The crowd seemed to wake up from a dream.

"Quick, test the other data."

General Manager Yu Tongguang said urgently: "CPU, GPU, NPU data, image processing speed, Artificial Intelligence data processing, I want all the parameters!"

Without him needing to say it, Xu Xiaofeng had already started continuing the operations.

"Old Huang!"

General Manager Yu Tongguang added.

"I'm here!"

Director Huang, who was just about to step forward to help, immediately responded.

"Have someone bring over a test machine, insert the Chip directly; I want the real-machine demonstration data!"

"I understand."

Director Huang responded and hurried out of the laboratory.

He had to go get this thing himself!

As for Liu Yemei's question... no one answered her anymore.

A few minutes later, Director Huang returned, panting heavily, and handed a circuit board to General Manager Yu Tongguang, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on the test progress on the screen.

That's right, while it was called a test machine, it was actually just a specially designed mobile phone motherboard without any other accessories, dedicated to on-machine testing of the Chip.

General Manager Yu Tongguang didn't take it, not even moving his eyes; his gaze seemed welded to the screen.

Finally, ten minutes later, the Chip performance data appeared.

"Chip type: Unknown."

"GPU main frequency: 3.0 GHz / 3.5 GHz."

"Number of cores: 8. Note: Detected and identified core count."

"GPU main frequency: 2.0 GHz / 3.0 GHz."

"Maximum image processing speed: 19,000 images per second."

"Maximum comprehensive calculation speed: 1.97 billion operations per second."

...

There were many test items, and General Manager Yu Tongguang read them line by line, very carefully.

Silence again.

Liu Yemei frowned slightly but didn't ask any more questions; even she could see some of the implications by now.

After a while, Director Huang, having regained his senses, asked: "General Manager Yu, does this... still need to be tested?"

General Manager Yu Tongguang nodded calmly.

"Test it, of course it must be tested. Without actual testing, how can we determine what the experience is like? Xiao Xu, can this Chip be adapted?"

"Yes."

Xu Xiaofeng nodded and said that the general specifications of this Chip were no different from those on the market and could be fully adapted to the test platform.

"Then install the Chip as soon as possible and start the test."

No one noticed that when he said this, General Manager Yu Tongguang had already clenched his fists slightly.

If you walk the night path often, you're bound to bump into a ghost. He had been in this industry for a long time and had seen Chips that had amazing benchmark scores but terrible real-world performance.

He was very worried that this Chip would be the same.

Xu Xiaofeng was indeed a professional engineer. In just over ten minutes, he had soldered the Chip onto the test platform, then skillfully plugged in a bunch of accessory ports, and the entire experimental preparation was complete.

As one app after another opened and closed on the computer, a complete test report gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.

Half an hour later, Xu Xiaofeng used a temperature tester to check the surface temperature of the Chip, and the entire test content was declared complete.

Looking at the final test data before him, the hesitation and anxiety in General Manager Yu Tongguang's heart vanished in an instant.

If it weren't for the subordinates and people from other companies here, he would have wanted to look up and laugh wildly.

Heaven will not destroy Huaneng Technology!

Whatever bullshit sanctions, whatever bullshit response plans, to hell with them all!

With the pent-up frustration in his heart gone, General Manager Yu Tongguang felt refreshed.

"I have something to report to Elder Ren, you all continue."

General Manager Yu Tongguang said with a smile.

After speaking, without waiting for a response, he hurried out of the laboratory.

No one paid him any mind.

Director Huang was already staring wide-eyed at the final report that had come out.

This was the third time he had widened his eyes today. If his eyes weren't already big enough, he doubted whether his eyelids would cramp from widening them so many times.

Liu Yemei frowned slightly.

"So... who is going to tell me if the Chip test was qualified?"

"Qualified? Hahahaha!"

Director Huang finally laughed out loud: "Miss Liu, do you know what this Chip means? Five times! This is a performance gap five times ahead of the Chips on the market! If this Chip counts as qualified, then what are all those mobile phone Chips currently on the market? Electronic trash?"

Liu Yemei looked at the seemingly arrogant Director Huang, frowned slightly, and then nodded.

"I understand."

Then she also turned and walked towards the door.

The pedantic Director Huang was stunned, a breath stuck in his chest, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

The mood was all set, why did you suddenly stop? Just ask! If you don't ask, how can I reluctantly explain and show off?

Seeing that Liu Yemei had already reached the door, Director Huang finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Miss Liu, where are you going?"

Liu Yemei didn't even turn her head.

"To sign the contract."

...

Re-entering the top-floor conference room.

General Manager Yu Tongguang found that his mindset was completely different from when he had just walked out; consequently, seeing these bickering shareholders again, he inexplicably felt a bit sorry for them.

As he expected, the argument had reached this point without reaching any consensus.

Whatever was supported by someone was inevitably opposed by someone else.

If they kept arguing like this, let alone tonight, even if they argued until next week, there would still be no result.

No one would give up the benefits they could easily obtain, even if those benefits might dissipate tomorrow with the collapse of the Huaneng Group.

General Manager Yu Tongguang walked into the conference room, sat down quietly, and listened carefully.

Half an hour later, he finally couldn't take it anymore and stood up.

"Everyone quiet down."

The conference room went slightly quiet.

"Calling everyone here today was to pool wisdom, not to let everyone argue. Since there is no concrete opinion to be had so far, I think it's better not to discuss it anymore; let's adjourn the meeting."

The shareholders were slightly taken aback.

Xu Guoqing looked at General Manager Yu Tongguang in confusion, not understanding what he was about to do.

Looking at the silent crowd, General Manager Yu Tongguang smiled and said: "Of course, we can also discuss the second matter."

General Manager Yu Tongguang took out a document and threw it on the table.

"The group's organizational restructuring plan has been sent to everyone for over a month. To this day, no one has voluntarily stood up to support the group's reform. I want to ask everyone, is your little bit of dividends really more important than the group's cause? More important than the group's development?"

The shareholders remained confused.

Shouldn't they be discussing how to deal with the US Government? Why did it suddenly turn to group reform?

Elder Ren Changshan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes. He first glanced slightly at General Manager Yu Tongguang. Seeing General Manager Yu Tongguang nod to him, he then spoke: "Regarding this matter, since no one is taking the lead, I will take the lead. My existing 20% of shares will all be confiscated and redistributed; just keep 1% for me, and everyone else can do as they please."

Everyone's expression was ugly.

It was said to be as they please, but who would dare to really do as they pleased?

Even Elder Ren only kept 1% of the shares, so what about themselves? Keep 1% too?

Anyone who dared to say that probably didn't understand basic social etiquette.

Everyone present was a shrewd person, so naturally, no one would fail to understand.

"Elder Ren has taken the lead, so I will take the lead as well."

A middle-aged man stood up and said with a smile: "I announce that I give up my shares, keeping only 0.8% of the shares is enough."

"No need to give them up."

General Manager Yu Tongguang said with a smile: "The group will pay you, Director Chen, the corresponding consideration; it is equivalent to the group buying back the shares."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

The director surnamed Chen said with a smile.

With someone taking the lead, things were easier to handle.

Many shareholders spoke up, expressing their willingness to give up their shares, and the group could pay the corresponding consideration to buy them directly.

Rather than saying the situation was forcing them, it was better to say that those who know the times are wise.

After Huaneng Group was sanctioned, whether it could survive the crisis was debatable. Now that the group was willing to pay the consideration, and Elder Ren also had the intention to acquire, then when else would they sell if not now?

As for those who didn't want to sell, that wasn't difficult either.

Directly use the Board of Directors vote to kick them out of the Board, the shares would be recovered, and they would still get the consideration.

General Manager Yu Tongguang watched with satisfaction as a matter that had been dragged on for over a month finally settled.

When the last director finished speaking, General Manager Yu Tongguang said loudly:

"I announce that the Huaneng Group's joint-stock reform has officially started. A total of 80,000 employees from the two subsidiary companies, Huaneng Equipment Co., Ltd. and Huaneng Electrical Engineering Co., Ltd., will share 98% of the group's shares! This portion of shares will be held on behalf of the Huaneng Group Employee Union, and the group will regularly take out share dividends to reward outstanding employees."

"The personnel of the group's Board of Directors will not change; Board members will still have the right to vote on major company matters. Shareholder dividends will be changed to fixed position salaries, and the salary amount will be based on the previous share ratio."

"Everyone."

General Manager Yu Tongguang scanned the room.

"Welcome to the brand new era of employee shareholding!"

The applause lasted a long time.

At this moment, it seemed as if the sanctions of the US Government had become a thing of the past.

After most of the people in the conference room had left, leaving only General Manager Yu Tongguang, Xu Guoqing, and Elder Ren in the room, Elder Ren, who had been half-closing his eyes, opened them and cast his gaze toward General Manager Yu Tongguang. His gaze was peaceful, but General Manager Yu Tongguang dared not be negligent.

"Elder Ren, please take a look at this."

General Manager Yu Tongguang handed over a document, the content of which was the Chip data he had tested earlier.

Elder Ren slowly scanned through the pages of data.

After a while, he gently closed the file and asked indifferently: "Is the situation true?"

"Not sure yet."

Although General Manager Yu Tongguang was very excited, he remained rational and said: "There is no problem with the Chip data, and the actual machine test results are very good. The only problem now is the source of the Chip."

"As far as we know, there is currently no Chip with such performance in the world, even in laboratories."

"In other words, this Chip is highly likely to be real."

Elder Ren said calmly.

General Manager Yu Tongguang hesitated slightly, then said: "Yes."

"I have underestimated young man."

Elder Ren revealed a faint smile: "I didn't expect that he could really produce a Chip sample. It seems that regarding the landing of this Chip, he is more anxious than we are."

General Manager Yu Tongguang did not deny this.

Compared to Huaneng Group, Frontier Technology's demand for Chips was no less.

The only problem now is: the other party is the controller of the Chip technology, and not only the Chip technology, but also the Chip manufacturing process depends on the other party's discretion.

"You handle this matter."

Elder Ren's tone was calm as he made his decision: "When necessary, we can pay more, and making a full concession is not impossible."

General Manager Yu Tongguang nodded slightly: "Understood, Elder Ren."

"Also."

Elder Ren seemed to be tired, closed his eyes again, but his voice didn't pause.

"After this matter is over, find an opportunity to invite him to Pengcheng; I want to meet him."

Xu Guoqing, who was standing beside him, froze.

General Manager Yu Tongguang was slightly taken aback, then gave Elder Ren a deep look and nodded.

After walking out of the conference room, General Manager Yu Tongguang came to the corridor, with Xu Guoqing following beside him.

"Old Yu..."

"I know what you want to ask, but don't ask; you will know soon enough."

General Manager Yu Tongguang interrupted Xu Guoqing and said: "You heard what Elder Ren just said. I need you to cooperate with me in issuing a document to let the Finance Department raise some funds."

Xu Guoqing frowned slightly but sensibly didn't ask any more, just saying: "How much is needed?"

"Three hundred..."

General Manager Yu Tongguang calmly spat out one word:

"Billion!"
