Chapter 391
Among the thirteen people, there was only one yellow-skinned face, who was a representative from a quantum research center in the island country.
After Walter finished speaking, he immediately voted for Intel Integrated Electronics' standards on quantum computers.
Others also began to vote, but fortunately, representatives from two Russian research institutions voted for Hongxin Group. Together with the other three, Hongxin Group now has a total of 24 votes.
The others are Intel's 22 votes and ibm's 19 votes, and the others are a little bit worse.
"Hongxin Group ranks first!" Beside Lu Zixin, Teacher Tian from the Computer Research Center affiliated to the National Academy of Sciences, read it excitedly.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lu!"
"This time the Hongxin Group's standards can be recognized by the international community, and it is worth celebrating!"
Representatives of several Chinese scientific research institutions also looked at Lu Zixin and congratulated him!
Lu Zixin also smiled. As long as this matter is settled, the commercialization process of Hongxin Group's quantum computer will be much easier.
As long as the whole world adopts their standards, other accessories manufacturers and computer research centers have to follow their steps. Those who don’t have the skills have to spend money to buy computers and hardware for Hongxin…
The vote result came out, and Ieee Chairman Lancelot and Walter, Chairman of the American Computer Association, both looked slightly pulled down. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that they were very unhappy.
And they have not announced the results yet, and everything is still undecided.
ibm's representative Plitt stared at the public screen and gritted his teeth secretly. Their company has always believed that it was a pioneer in the quantum computer industry, and actually let others take the lead?
"Absolutely not!" Plitt looked at Walter. The two had a secret exchange before the meeting.
"Chairman Lancelot." Walter greeted Lancelot and signaled that he had something to say.
"Everyone wait a moment, we'll be back soon." Lancelot said, leaving the venue with Walter for discussion.
The venue was still quiet, but Lu Zixin could keenly feel that many hostile gazes swept over him.
After a while, the two chairmen came back.
"Sorry, I've been waiting for everyone." Lancelot said apologetically, "I just discussed with Chairman Walter for a while."
"Both our associations believe that Hongxin Group, Intel and ibm are far ahead of other companies in terms of voting results."
"But" he turned around, and Lu Zixin and the representatives of the Chinese scientific research institutions immediately became alert.
Lancelot continued: "Given that the vote results of these three companies are too similar and the gap is not large, it means that there are many supporters of their respective standards. For fairness, we decided to conduct a second re-election and choose a unified standard from these three companies. This result will also make everyone more convinced."
He said, and looked at Lu Zixin with a smile, like a polite gentleman.
Lu Zi snorted in confidence. He had long expected that the vote would not be that simple! The representatives present were too many representatives of American companies and institutions, and representatives of countries such as island countries also supported the standards of American companies.
Most importantly, the American Computer Association and Ieee Association were the ones who presided over the vote!
Needless to say, the American Computer Association, although it claims to be a stateless international academic organization, its predecessor was the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Radio Engineers Association. The headquarters and main members are Americans, so it is not surprising that they favor American companies.
"I object!" Before Lu Zixin could not hold back, Teacher Tian could not hold back and protested: "The vote result was obviously the first in Hongxin Group, so there was no need to re-election!"
"I also think so. Our Hongxin's quantum computer computing is obvious to all, and this is the result of everyone's choice!" Lu Zixin said righteously.
Lancelot was not angry, but still smiled and said, "Two representatives, we have considered your opinions. Hongxin Group's quantum computer standards are indeed very referenceable, but this time we chose to set standards for the entire industry and must be used around the world, so we also need to consider everyone's opinions."
Walter also said: "Reselect is to make the results more accurate. If everyone supports your standards, you can still get the highest votes!"
"The two chairmen are right, I support re-election!" Plitt took the lead in supporting, and representatives from other institutions also spoke out, expressing their support for re-election.
"This... this is partiality!" Teacher Tian did not use English, but complained in Chinese dialect.
"Professor Tian, just re-select. We should just stick to our own vote." The person next to him said helplessly. How could the other party's small moves, such as the Chinese representatives, not be able to see?
But they have too many supporters, and now they are forcibly protesting and probably won't get any results.
"Okay, since everyone says re-select, then re-select!" Lu Zixin stood up and said loudly, "Before re-selecting, I want to tell you something!"
Representatives of various institutions looked at Lu Zixin, who shouted: "The two chairman and Vice Chairman Tolan mentioned just now that this vote was to choose standards suitable for commercial quantum computers."
"And we, Hongxin, in addition to the quantum computer technology that has been demonstrated, have also successfully developed superconducting quantum computers that can be commercialized on a large scale! As it turns out, it is absolutely correct to adopt our standards!"
"Oh my God, can they already commercialize quantum computers?" Some representatives from foreign research institutions exclaimed.
"If it is true, then it is better for us to directly choose Hongxin Group's standards, which can help us avoid many detours." Some representatives don't care whether the standards are from Hongxin Group, ibm or Intel. Anyway, it's not theirs. If it is convenient and beneficial to them, then choose who will choose.
"It's no point!" Plitt said quickly, "We ibm built commercial quantum computers a few years ago."
If he didn't talk about performance, he was right, and some representatives hesitated again.
"Please be quiet first. We will start the second round of voting now. This time there are only three options, ibm, Intel, and Hongxin Group from China." Lancelot said.
The check starts again.
At the beginning, Lu Zixin and other representatives of China decisively voted for Hongxin Group and received seven votes.
Subsequently, some representatives who supported them also voted one after another, and the votes quickly reached 23. At this time, followed by ibm, 19, and then Intel, with 10 votes. Five representatives chose to abstain, and others were still waiting and watching.
In a short period of time, Hongxin Group seemed to have taken the lead again. But Lu Zixin always felt that things would not be so simple, because at this time, the representatives of Intel had not voted yet. Logically, he should have voted for his company as soon as possible, but he did not do so.
Chapter completed!
