[Cybertron Technology Company], headquartered in the outskirts of Xixia District in Nandu, parked the pickup truck in a parking space next to the office building. Sun Cheng felt the strange glances from the nearby patrolling security guards, causing him to furrow his brow.
As the owner of an internet company, even though it was a startup, driving a pickup truck to commute definitely attracted attention.
"It seems I need to buy another car..."
He said to himself inwardly. It didn't have to be an expensive car, but at the very least, it shouldn't be as conspicuous as a pickup truck.
In China, there isn't the so-called 'pickup truck culture' from foreign countries, especially the United States. Although pickup truck sales have been increasing in recent years, many Chinese still associate them with being work trucks, so it wasn't surprising to receive strange looks.
Considering his current position and future business activities, driving a pickup truck wasn't suitable.
At that moment, Sun Cheng already had the thought of buying a new car.
However, he intended to keep the pickup truck. Not only was it his first car in life, but it also had ample horsepower.
He needed to personally deliver sensitive supplies, such as fuel, to the Number One Base, so he had to keep the pickup truck.
The office building where [Cybertron Technology Company] was located was an old-fashioned building that had been around for seventeen years.
The building had a total of nine floors, and while it wasn't spacious, it was conveniently located in the outskirts of Xixia District. As a result, some small companies saw the value in it and rented space there.
[Cybertron Technology Company] occupied the third floor. According to the landlord, the third floor used to be leased by a web game company. A few years ago, when browser games were popular, they occupied the entire floor and extensively decorated it.
However, with the advent of the mobile internet era, the web game company failed to anticipate the rapid rise of mobile gaming. By the beginning of last year, when their contract expired, the company's performance had declined significantly compared to the previous years, and they chose not to renew the lease.
Sun Cheng wasn't particularly concerned about the fate of the web game company.
Fortunately, thanks to them, when the landlord sought new tenants for the office building, they only accepted full-floor leases for the third floor. The area wasn't suitable for large companies, and it was too large for small ones. In the end, Sun Cheng and his company were able to secure it at a lower cost.
As he walked out of the elevator, the company signboard of [Cybertron Technology Company] immediately caught Sun Cheng's eye.
Sun Cheng arrived at the perfect time. Several young employees wearing uniforms from an electronics store were waiting for the elevator at the entrance.
After he walked out, he noticed that the manager, Wang Lu, was still standing at the entrance with a smile on his face.
Without a doubt, the employees from the electronics store he had just interacted with had come to deliver a batch of newly purchased desktop computers and other equipment for their company.
"President Sun, you're here..."
Wang Lu's gaze remained fixed on the elevator, so he immediately noticed Sun Cheng when he walked out.
Sun Cheng also responded with a smile and exchanged a few polite words before asking, "Did they deliver the newly purchased equipment?"
"Yes, I'll bring you the purchase order and invoice later!"
Nodding his head, he had also hastily flipped through some management books in the different world and naturally knew that the new company must follow regulations. Sun Cheng, however, did not refuse.
The two entered the company together. In the main office lobby, several computer-savvy employees were protecting and upgrading the new computers that had been delivered.
In one corner, a few people were debugging and testing a laser printer.
Seeing Sun Cheng arrive, several younger students from Nangong University greeted him proactively, and he responded to each of them with a smile. However, he didn't stop his steps and quickly entered his office with Wang Lu.
"What would you like to drink?"
Inviting Wang Lu to sit down, Sun Cheng went straight to the cabinet in the corner of the office. He opened it and took out a can of coffee and several cans of different tea leaves. "Please don't mind, I only have these things prepared for now!"
"You've gone through the trouble..."
Wang Lu smiled but didn't refuse, evidently planning to stay for a while and have a detailed conversation with him.
He pointed to the can of domestically produced black tea. Sun Cheng nodded, opened it, and went to the water dispenser to heat it up. He took a paper cup, poured two cups, brought one cup in front of him, and took a sip, savoring it briefly in his mouth.
He didn't understand tea.
But he had seen some introductions on television, so posing a bit was enough. After all, even if someone astute noticed, they wouldn't delve too deep.
Wang Lu didn't know if he was genuinely unfamiliar with tea like him or if his mind was elsewhere.
He merely picked up the cup for a light sip, then placed it back on the coffee table in front of him. He looked up at Sun Cheng and said, "Mr. Sun, it was inconvenient to discuss the details on the phone earlier. Could you please provide a detailed introduction about the cooperation with Nangong University? I don't have detailed information on this matter, so I need to understand it from you first."
Sun Cheng nodded, a smile unconsciously appearing on his face.
He could guess what Nangong University mentioned.
During the previous discussion on cooperation with Shen Peiyuan, the new president of Nangong University, Sun Cheng had put forward two conditions. One was hoping that Nangong University could help him secure a laboratory spot, and the other was to establish contact with the National Supercomputer Center.
Considering the issue of the laboratory spot, even if Nangong University intervened, it probably wouldn't be approved within a few days, so the first possibility could be ruled out.
Therefore, the sudden contact from the other party didn't make it difficult to draw a conclusion.
It should be that the hard disk devices he had left with them left a deep impression on Nangong University. As a result, Shen Peiyuan was willing to swallow his pride and offer a favor by taking the initiative to contact the Supercomputing Center.
In the 21st century, supercomputers have become a focal point of competition among the world's major powers due to their significant role in various fields such as economy, scientific research, and military affairs.
China is no exception. The Ministry of Computer Industry, which is responsible for computers and the internet, allocates tens of billions of financial funds almost every year to support the domestic supercomputer industry.
Among them, the National Supercomputer Center is a research institution directly affiliated with the Ministry of Computer Industry. It has four branches across the country, with its headquarters located in Nandu.
As one of the participating research institutions of the Supercomputing Center, Nandu University of Technology is also the main technology provider for the Nandu Supercomputing Center. This time, they were willing to introduce him, which greatly helped Sun Cheng.
With these thoughts in mind, Sun Cheng's smile became even more pronounced.
[Cybertron Planet from Transformers], a world filled with countless advanced technologies.
Following his requirements, the engineers of Atlas simplified the products using Earth's industrial standards from a different world. In his opinion, the technological content remained as advanced as ever.
The things he had previously shown off to Shen Peiyuan, the principal of Nangong University, were just minor achievements. The real impressive things, however, were yet to be revealed by him.
