318 You don't know yet? (4/5)
After a round of greetings and getting familiar with each other, we entered the rehearsal session.
There isn’t much new in the specific rehearsal process.
After skipping the problem-solving process, follow the process.
The placement of props, the movement of staff, the performance of guests...
Basically it is quite tedious detailed work.
Probably because live broadcasts have higher requirements, they often need to be rehearsed repeatedly.
Fortunately, there are not many requirements for the guests on the show.
Du Xiran, the chief scientist of the program team, took the time to find Wang Yufei and Lu Yuxin.
"Two classmates, I have an idea that I need to seek your opinions on."
"Dr. Du, please tell me."
"When Director Gu discussed with me about adding a kick-off link, I thought this way. It doesn't matter whether the kick-off is successful or not, but if you put this link into the program, if the kicker doesn't start this link even once, the program will be ruined.
There will definitely be some criticism afterwards."
"Of course, I'm not questioning the abilities of the two students. In fact, Professor Li from the Department of Mathematics at Peking University specifically talked to me about Wang's problem solving in the International Mathematical Olympiad competition, but the questions chosen in the program are actually more of a test.
The ability of students to perform on the spot, so..."
Du Xiran did not make his words very clear.
But the meaning expressed is obvious.
The show has really started. No matter whether it works or not, the two of them must press the kick-out button specially prepared for them.
Apparently, Dr. Du also believed that the rules for kicking out the gym were too strict, which made him suspect that these rules, coupled with the difficulty of the questions, would prevent the two young people from having the courage to press the button to kick out the gym.
From a scientific perspective, this concern is actually not a big problem.
Of course, from Wang Yufei's perspective, Dr. Du's worries are a bit inexplicable.
"Don't worry, Dr. Du, we came to the show this time with our own demands. If we sit on the stage and do nothing, our trip will be in vain."
"Okay! Then I would like to congratulate you two on your good performance."
Everyone is not familiar with it yet, so it is enough for this reason.
Not counting meal time, the entire rehearsal process lasted about seven hours.
After the rehearsal, Wang Yufei found Gu Mingyi.
"Director Gu, if I can persuade Mr. Stephen to participate in the brain-burning live broadcast, can I add a seat for him?"
"Ahem..." After hearing this, Gu Mingyi coughed without any warning as soon as he opened his mouth: "No, ahem, I'm sorry, I choked on my saliva."
After finally calming down, Gu Mingyi looked at Wang Yufei seriously and asked: "Classmate Wang, are you talking about Mr. Stephen, the president of Intel? Are you serious?"
"Just a hypothetical, because he said he can only stay in China for three days, I don't know if he is willing to participate in Friday's show. This means that he may need to postpone his schedule for one day."
"If you're not afraid, as long as Mr. Stephen is willing to come to our show, as long as you tell me ten minutes in advance, I promise to arrange everything." Gu Mingyi said, patting his chest.
Sure enough, it was similar to what Lu Yuxin analyzed.
Wang Yufei has a rough assessment of the influence of these industry giants in the minds of ordinary people.
I have to say that if Stephen could really praise the brain-computer chip in front of the screen, the effect would indeed be much better than what they brag about.
After all, the Internet is now developed, and after a video clip is edited, it can be used on the entire Internet.
"Thank you then, Director Gu."
"it's okay no problem!"
Well, although Wang Yufei asked seriously, Gu Mingyi, who was busy, didn't really take this conversation to heart.
Gu Mingyi didn't dare to think about letting a world-class company president change his itinerary at will.
So he didn't even ask Wang Yufei if he wanted an invitation letter from the program team, which seemed more sincere.
It's just a boy's whim.
Of course, he didn't know at this time that three hours ago, Wang Yufei had already confirmed on the phone with Stephen that they would meet in Nandu City tomorrow.
If you knew, it would probably be another idea.
…
Time goes back to three hours ago.
Stephen’s special plane arrived at Pearl International Airport at 8pm China time.
A full two hours later than scheduled.
The reason is that if a fire suddenly breaks out near the planned flight route, the volcanic ash ejected into the high altitude will pose a serious risk to flight safety.
For safety reasons, a temporary application was made to change the channel, which was delayed for a full two hours.
The Intel delegation that came to pick up the plane and the people from Huaxin Intelligent Manufacturing waited at the airport for two hours.
But these are small things.
The delegation is a small matter, and the negotiation with Huaxin Intelligent Manufacturing is also a small matter. This time Stephen came to China with the determination to solve the vulnerability problem once and for all.
It can be said that it is for Intel's goodwill, but more importantly, it is for its own position.
During his tenure as CEO, Intel has been exposed to vulnerability scandals twice, each time more severe than the last. This was enough to make the board of directors doubt his ability to execute.
If a shocking vulnerability is exposed, it may even have catastrophic consequences...
There is probably no harmony within any large company, even at the top.
There have always been people who disliked him on the board of directors. When the big bosses who supported him felt that their interests had been damaged because of him, Stephen knew that his days at the helm of Intel were coming to an end.
So before getting off the plane, Stephen and I asked Mayberry, who came to the Pearl with him, to call Wang Yufei first.
After learning that Wang Yufei was in Nandu City and could spare a day tomorrow, but might not be able to get to Mingzhu, Stephen made the decision to go to Nandu City.
then……
"I'm glad to meet you, President Jing. I really came with the attitude of solving the problem this time. But I hope that this negotiation can be resolved in Nandu City. What do you mean?"
After the pleasantries, Jing Yongjun was confused when he heard Stephen say such words.
Nandu City is indeed not too far from the Pearl.
It's about 300 kilometers and only takes three hours to drive. It's not a big deal at all.
The point of the question is, whether it is Huaxin Intelligent Manufacturing or Huaxin Precision, both are in Mingzhu. What does it mean to go to Nandu City to talk?
Of course, it cannot be said that Stephen's request is excessive.
After all, he came to China in person instead of just calling him to go to Silicon Valley for talks. This is enough to show sincerity.
Especially when the situation is stronger than the other person.
What could he say?
"Okay, but can I ask Mr. Stephen why he did this?"
"What? You don't know why?"
Chapter completed!
