Chapter 308: Ha Gong Da, lawless and unrestrained?

Ding ling ling……

The bell rang, and the whole campus instantly boiled over.

The final exam was a general course; once this exam ended, the entire Ha Gong Da's final exams were completely over, and vacation began!

"Miaomiao, what are you planning to do for this winter break?"

Chu Miaomiao stood up, was about to walk outside, heard the voice, turned her head and revealed a smile.

Wang Fang and Liu Cui ping are her classmates and roommates; of course, now her roommate is San Shui ge.

"Xiao Fang, Cui ping, what about you?"

"Last winter break, many students in our university stayed to continue working; this year, the school offers even more work. We decided to stay and work this winter break, to gain experience and earn money…"

Chu Miaomiao smiled: "Hmm, not bad, it's time to train well."

"And you? Are you staying to work?"

"I…"

In Chu Miaomiao's mind, she recalled that last New Year she went abroad with San Shui ge; this year…

She still couldn't decide for herself; she had to see San Shui ge's arrangement.

Just then, a voice came from behind: "Miaomiao, how did the exam go?"

"San Shui ge? How did you come back? This winter break, we…"

"We need to stay here a few more days and hold a press conference."

"What?"

"This term is so new, nobody has heard of it before!"

Chu Miaomiao frowned: "Why not in the Capital?"

"The Capital is the nation's political, economic, and cultural center; holding such a press conference there would obviously have greater impact! Moreover, her father works in a key department in the Capital and could help a lot…"

Qin Miao smiled: "Originally we planned to hold it in the Capital, but I didn't expect that some people still lack confidence, always seeking foreign patronage; since that's the case, we don't need to give them face!"

Chu Miaomiao nodded solemnly: "San Shui ge, no matter what you do, I support you!"

Wang Fang and Liu Cui ping were somewhat baffled: "You two, what riddles are you speaking? We don't understand."

"You two, since you're not planning to leave, come help when the time comes; the microelectronics company will hold a press conference there and needs some staff, and we can't trust outsiders."

"Sure." The two nodded.

Capital

"I think Ha Gong Da is getting full of itself; they developed a microprocessor, a huge advancement, and we convene an expert team to review their project—what's wrong with that? Yet they're throwing a tantrum!"

Director Zhou felt embarrassed.

"In terms of affiliation, Ha Gong Da has no relation to the CAS Institute of Computing, but shouldn't all national computers fall under the institute's management? Ha Gong Da produced an advanced microprocessor, and our institute organizes expert review—what's the problem?"

"The point isn't that you organize the review, but that you invite foreigners!" Zhang Wanhe's face darkened: "Why should our domestically developed microprocessor be handed to foreigners for review? In the process, foreigners will ask for our technical details—do we disclose or withhold? This clearly lets foreigners steal our secrets! I believe Ha Gong Da is doing nothing wrong!"

"Old Zhang, you're just slapping labels on things; in the microprocessor field, Intel is undoubtedly the leader, their technology far surpasses ours, letting them review is also helping Ha Gong Da progress—how does that become linked to leaking secrets?" Director Zhou said: "I know, your relationship with Qin Miao, lets you…"

"Correct, Qin Miao is my son-in-law, but I now oppose your review, which has absolutely nothing to do with family ties; I, Old Zhang, can guarantee it with my party spirit! Rather, you've already risen up! If I recall correctly, you've always been praising Loongson's performance, haven't you? I see these comparison data, they're far more advanced than Intel's 8086!"

"Indeed, the data show it's more advanced than the 8086, but the 8086 has been on the market for several years; now Intel surely will have newer processors with performance absolutely stronger than ours! Can Ha Gong Da's first processor instantly reach world-class? Old Zhang, weren't the mistakes of the Great Leap Forward few enough years ago?"

"Hmph, you say I'm slapping labels, but clearly it's you who are slapping labels—how many of Ha Gong Da's researched technologies are already world-leading? I see, it's just that someone has been kneeling too long and can't stand up!"

Deng deng deng…… At that moment, a secretary ran in.

"Report, we received news from Ha Gong Da: they have already sent invitations to domestic major media and some large international electronics companies to jointly participate in the Loongson No. 1 press conference they are holding in Ha Cheng!"

"What!"

Many people stood up.

"Hmph, Ha Gong Da is getting more and more lawless! Such a major matter, they didn't even go through our approval!"

"Exactly, Leader Li, you need to rein them in, otherwise Ha Gong Da will go to heaven!"

In the chief seat, the head of the State Electronic Computer Industry Bureau, Leader Li, had a complex expression.

This department is a state-affiliated organization, established in March 1979, though under the administration of the Fourth Ministry of Machinery.

According to the contemporary description, they were to uniformly lead and manage the scientific research, production, application, etc., of the electronic computer industry, to accelerate the development of electronic computer undertakings; this department's existence was brief, and by May 1982 it would be merged into the Ministry of Electronic Industry.

Now, by rights, everything in this computer field should fall under their jurisdiction, and since they have a close relationship with the Computing Institute, they ought to support the institute's position.

But… Qin Miao is not someone to provoke!

Many institutions have suffered losses at Qin Miao's hands; moreover, Zhang Wanhe is backing Qin Miao, so if we rashly punish Ha Gong Da, it might…

"Report! Ha Gong Da has sent us an invitation to the State Electronic Computer Industry Bureau!"

So many units have been invited, naturally we should invite them too!

Leader Li took a deep breath: "Since we've been invited, let's go to Ha Gong Da to take a look! This Loongson No. 1 is indeed a huge advancement for our computer industry system!"

Director Zhou looked around at the dissatisfied gazes, realizing the goal had already been achieved.

Now, no one would dare to give Ha Gong Da a petty shoe; better to kill with kindness—anyway, once at Ha Gong Da, when Loongson No. 1 is announced, if its performance doesn't match the publicity, or if there's infringement, then… we'll see how Zhang Wanhe still tries to cover for Qin Miao!

With so many foreigners present, this embarrassment will shatter Ha Gong Da's halo! Those who aren't honest and obedient should be made to taste the flavor of failure!
