Chapter 267: Swift and Decisive 2

The headquarters of 【Cybertron Technology Company】 is located in the suburbs of the Huxi District in Nandu. As he parked his pickup truck in a space next to the office building and felt the strange gazes cast by the security guards patrolling nearby, Sun Cheng frowned slightly.

For the boss of an internet enterprise, even if it is a startup, driving a pickup truck to and from work is indeed quite eye-catching.

"It seems I need to buy another car..."

He said to himself in his heart; it didn't necessarily have to be a fancy car, but at the very least, it shouldn't be as conspicuous as a pickup truck.

China does not have the so-called "pickup truck culture" found abroad, especially in the United States. Although pickup truck sales have started to rise domestically in recent years, in the eyes of a considerable number of Chinese people, it still cannot shake off the identity of a "cargo hauler," so it is not strange to receive strange looks upon seeing one.

Thinking of his current status, it would indeed be inappropriate to drive a pickup truck to future business events or the like.

At this moment, Sun Cheng already had the idea of buying a new car.

As for this pickup truck, he would still keep it; not to mention that it was the first car of his life, it also had plenty of horsepower.

Just for the sensitive materials needed over at Base No. 1, such as fuel and the like, he had to deliver them personally, so this pickup truck had to be kept.

The office building where 【Cybertron Technology Company】 is located is an old-fashioned office building that is seventeen years old.

The entire building has nine floors and the area is not very large. However, although it is located in the suburbs of the Huxi District, because the nearby transportation is quite convenient, some small companies have taken a fancy to this place and rented space here for their offices.

【Cybertron Technology Company】 is on the third floor. According to the lessor, the previous tenant of the third floor was a web game company. A few years ago, when web games were popular, they took over the entire third floor and did a lot of decoration there.

Later, with the arrival of the mobile internet era, the original tenant did not realize that the rise of mobile games would affect web games so quickly. As a result, when the contract ended early last year, the company's performance was already far inferior to the previous two years, so they did not renew the lease.

Sun Cheng was not concerned about where that web game company went.

But thanks to them, when the lessor of the office building later sought new tenants, they only accepted whole-floor leases for the third floor. Because the area could not meet the requirements of large companies, and it was too big for small companies, it ended up being a bargain for Sun Cheng and his team.

Coming out of the elevator entrance, the company sign for 【Cybertron Technology Company】 immediately came into view.

Sun Cheng arrived at a good time; several young employees wearing uniform appliance store work clothes were waiting for the elevator at the elevator entrance.

After he walked out, he saw that the manager, Wang Lu, was still standing at the company entrance with a smile on his face.

Needless to say, the appliance store personnel who had just crossed paths with him and left were there to deliver a newly purchased batch of desktop computers and other equipment to their company.

"General Manager Sun, you're here..."

Wang Lu hadn't moved his gaze from the elevator entrance, so he saw Sun Cheng the moment he walked out.

Sun Cheng also responded with a smile and a few polite remarks, then asked: "Was the newly purchased equipment just delivered?"

"Yes, I'll bring the purchase order and invoice to you in a moment!"

Nodding, he had also hurriedly flipped through some management books while in the other world, so he naturally knew that this was a procedure a new company had to go through; Sun Cheng did not refuse.

The two entered the company together. In the main office hall, several employees proficient in computers were performing protection and upgrades on the new computers that had been delivered.

In one corner, several people were debugging and testing a laser printer.

Seeing Sun Cheng arrive, several junior schoolmates who had come from Nanjing University of Technology took the initiative to greet him, and he responded to each one with a smile, though his pace did not stop, and he soon entered his office with Wang Lu.

"What would you like to drink?"

Inviting Wang Lu to sit down, Sun Cheng walked straight to the cabinet in the corner of the office, opened it, and took out a can of coffee and several cans of different tea leaves, "Don't mind it, I've only prepared these things here for now!"

"You've gone to the trouble..."

Wang Lu smiled but did not refuse, clearly prepared to stay for a while and talk to him in detail.

He pointed to the can of domestic black tea, and Sun Cheng nodded and opened it, walked to the water dispenser to get hot water and paper cups, brewed two cups, brought one to him, picked up one for himself, took a small sip, and held it in his mouth to savor the aftertaste.

As for tea, he didn't understand it.

However, he had seen some introductions on TV, and putting on a bit of a show was enough; after all, even if a smart person saw through it, they wouldn't point it out.

Wang Lu didn't know if he was like him and truly didn't understand tea, or if his mind wasn't on it.

He also just picked it up, took a shallow sip, and placed it back on the coffee table in front of him. He looked up at Sun Cheng and said: "General Manager Sun, it wasn't convenient to talk in detail over the phone before. Regarding the cooperation with Nanjing University of Technology, could you introduce it in detail? I don't have detailed information on this part here, so I need to understand it from you first!"

Sun Cheng nodded, unable to help but show a smile on his face.

He had roughly guessed what the matter mentioned by Nanjing University of Technology was.

When he had previously discussed cooperation with the new president of Nanjing University of Technology, Shen Peiyuan, Sun Cheng had proposed two conditions: first, he hoped that Nanjing University of Technology would come forward to help him obtain a spot in a laboratory; second, he wanted to contact the National Supercomputing Center.

Considering the issue of the laboratory spot, even if Nanjing University of Technology applied on his behalf, it was estimated that it wouldn't be approved in three or five days, so the first possibility could be directly ruled out.

Then, it was not difficult to draw a conclusion as to why the other party suddenly contacted him.

It should be that the hard drive equipment he had left with the other party earlier had left a deep impression on Nanjing University of Technology, so Shen Peiyuan was willing to lower his face to do him a favor and took the initiative to help contact the Supercomputing Center.

By the 21st century, supercomputers, these sharp weapons that play an important role in all fields such as economy, scientific research, and military, had long become the focus of competition among the world's major powers.

China naturally could not be an exception. The domestic Computer Industry Department, which directly manages computers and the internet, allocates tens of billions in fiscal funding almost every year to support the country's supercomputing industry.

Among them, the National Supercomputing Center is a research institution directly under the Computer Industry Department. It has four branches across the country, and its headquarters is located in Nandu.

As one of the participating universities of the Supercomputing Center and the main technical provider for the Nandu Supercomputing Center, Nanjing University of Technology's willingness to introduce him this time was truly a great help to Sun Cheng.

Thinking of this, the smile on Sun Cheng's face became even richer.

The Cybertron planet in the 【Transformers】 world has countless black technologies.

The products that Atlas and the group of Workers simplified according to his requirements using the industrial level of the other-world Earth still had a black-tech content that he considered extremely profound.

What he had taken out to show off in front of President Shen Peiyuan of Nanjing University of Technology earlier was just a small appetizer; he hadn't even revealed the real good stuff yet.
