CHAPTER 750: CHAPTER 244: GOTTA DO SOMETHING FIRST

Can you understand? No, should I say, is it possible not to understand?

After a brief pause in his mind, Peter Schultz accepted Qiao Yu’s explanation.

When it comes to idols, whatever they say is naturally correct. What’s important is, Qiao Yu wasn’t deceiving him, he was actually being extremely honest.

A child from a single-parent family might have a slightly extreme personality, it’s something adults all over the world can understand!

Oh, right, Qiao Yu is only seventeen, a time in life when sensitivity and pride are at their peak, it’s like a BUFF stacking.

Although Microsoft is his current partner, speaking from a logical standpoint, Peter Schultz feels that Qiao Yu is right.

A world-class company negotiating with a child from a single-parent family, and they lost their temper.

And they even tried to use the previously invested, not-so-successful results to suppress the other party, which is indeed somewhat unscrupulous.

Even though Microsoft, in some sense, is one of the sponsors of his research.

But before he could say a few comforting words, Qiao Yu became passionate: "Regarding this, Peter, I even want to criticize you along with them! You Western people seem to be still immersed in past glories, acting too arrogantly!

Microsoft releasing a so-called new chip at this time is a provocation. They want to tell me a story that even without collaborating with me, they’re still leading the world. I don’t know how others see it, but I don’t like it.

I’m not a mature, calm adult; I don’t understand the art of hiding one’s capabilities. I view this world with goodwill. When my goodwill isn’t reciprocated, I become very angry. Then I’ll fight back against any malice in my own way."

Qiao Yu’s words even made Peter Schultz begin to reflect on whether he is a proud person.

It seems like he is.

But the most important thing is, he feels he has no right to be proud in front of Qiao Yu.

"Alright, Qiao Yu, how do you plan to fight back then?"

"You really don’t understand me, do you, Peter? If I knew how to fight back, why would I ask you? I would have already taken action. Peter, don’t you get it? I’m in a fit of helpless rage right now! So you’re going to help me, right?"

"Helpless rage?"

After repeating the phrase, Peter Schultz felt it didn’t quite match with Qiao Yu’s demeanor. But he still instinctively said, "Of course, Qiao Yu, we’re friends, I’m definitely on your side."

"Haha, Peter, I knew I could trust you no matter what. You’re absolutely my most trustworthy friend, without a doubt!"

When these words came through the phone, Peter Schultz felt an inexplicable sense of emotion.

From any angle, he feels he should be able to believe in the sincerity of a seventeen-year-old. Because he was once that age too.

He knows very well how important friends are during one’s teenage years.

"And you know what? American high-tech companies are no good! They developed by leeching off Europe! Think about it, how many prestigious universities does Europe have?

Bonn University, French High School, Oxford, Cambridge, Heidelberg University... there are so many. Have you ever thought about why Europe has such strong educational resources but has lost tech companies with global influence?

When I was in middle school, I told a classmate that when someone realizes their efforts aren’t getting the deserved reward, they should consider if someone else is leeching off of them. What do you think? So helping me is also helping you all."

Peter Schultz gave a wry smile.

Of course he knows Qiao Yu makes sense.

In fact, many, including his colleagues at Bonn University, share a similar view. But what can be done?

The mainstream ideology is just like that. After all, the world isn’t led by Europe.

When the vast majority have become accustomed to living safely under the protection of the United States, enjoying cheap industrial products from Huaxia as the world’s factory and affordable energy and food, even if they find something wrong, they can only gripe about it.

After long periods of peace, most people’s backbones have already become soft.

Unlike Huaxia dealing with a century of humiliation, Europe last century was reaping abundant gains. When people lack pressure and motivation, they tend to degenerate easily.

Such has always been the rise and fall of history.

But his thoughts notwithstanding, Peter Schultz naturally wouldn’t discuss these with Qiao Yu, he just asked with complicated emotions: "Alright, Qiao Yu, what do you want to do?"

"I’m thinking, how about you act as a middleman to facilitate our collaboration with Bonn University? My mom has a company, Xi Yu Technology, which currently mainly provides some algorithm services, of course, it definitely will delve into quantum computing in the future.

The new Mersenne prime I released at the conference used Xi Yu Technology’s servers. I have a say in this company, so I want to hire the team at Bonn University that previously did the quantum walk experiment as company consultants. To help Xi Yu Technology develop new quantum algorithms.

Oh, and when I was doing quantum simulation calculations, I noticed there was a paper published by a research team at Bonn University on computational quantum many-body physics. I’m interested in their research on quantum simulation, and there’s potential for collaboration between us. So would you be willing to be the introducer?"

Qiao Yu fluently articulated his thoughts.

In fact, even without the Microsoft incident, Qiao Yu planned to talk to Peter Fields about collaboration anyway.

There’s no doubt that mastering the most advanced production tools can yield results with less effort. But the data accumulated from prior research across various fields is also very important.
