1991 Starting from the core

In the next two days, Su Yuanshan continued to visit established IT giants such as AMD, Compaq, HP, and Dell. Of course, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and for Su Yuanshan's invitation to jointly build a universal serial bus external bus, everyone said yes, no problem, and would definitely support it - as long as the operating system could be solved.

The only person who had objections was AMD's Sanders. When he heard that Microsoft must win over Intel, Santos became very unhappy. He thinks that AMD and Yuexin can completely handle this matter... What's the point of involving Intel?

In fact, Su Yuanshan understands Sanders very well.

Since Robert Noyce died of a heart attack three years ago, Intel, under the leadership of Andy Grove, has not recognized AMD at all.

You know, Sanders is also from Fairchild Semiconductor.

When AMD started copying Intel's various chips, Moore, Andy and others thought they would slap Sanders to death. Later, Sanders broke into Intel's conference room alone and had no idea what he said. Anyway, Robert Noyce was impressed. In the end, not only did AMD survive, it even obtained a large number of licenses from Intel...

When Sanders left that day, Adi and others were puzzled by Robert Noyce's behavior, but Noyce just smoked cigarettes and said, "He does not have the conditions to surpass us, and... after all, He is family to us."

Throughout his life, Robert Noyce cared deeply for Sanders, and Sanders, who had always been a mean-mouthed man, never said a single bad word about Robert Noyce.

Some people liken the relationship between the two of them to "the same affection as father and son."

Now that Noyce has passed away, Sanders naturally hates Intel.

(Note: Robert Noyce, the father of Silicon Valley, is a man with great charisma. You can learn more about him.)

But now the form is stronger than the person. AMD and Cyrix together are not enough to beat Intel with half a hand. Since Microsoft cannot do without Intel, Sanders can only hold his nose and admit it. At the end, he didn't forget to tell Su Yuanshan that Andy Grove had a bad temper and might not look good on him... so that he was ready to suffer. At the same time, we must also beware of Intel's shamelessness. Not only does it refuse to agree to participate in standards, but then it turns around and creates its own set of standards.

For this, apart from expressing gratitude, Su Yuanshan didn't have much else to say.

In his previous life, although he was just a soldier at Intel, he also met Andy Grove. It's not as bad as what Sanders said - in the final analysis, Andy just hates Sanders.

Then he received a reply email from Intel, and the visit was scheduled for the 24th, which was the last day of the exhibition.

On the 20th, the day before the exhibition.

Chen Jing and her entourage arrived at San Francisco Airport with all their travels.

Su Yuanshan and Carly went to pick her up in person.

…

After arranging Chen Jing and An Siying into the hotel, Carly left first while Su Yuanshan stayed in the hotel.

"Thank you for your hard work." Seeing Chen Jing getting thinner and thinner, Su Yuanshan said with some distress: "After this is done, you should rest for a while and don't rush back to China. Hawaii is nice...just take a vacation."

"..." Chen Jing didn't answer, but sat on the sofa, took off her coat and handed it to An Siying. Then he rolled up the sleeves of his tight-fitting shirt, opened his briefcase, and took out documents.

"..." Su Yuanshan was speechless for a while, then turned to look at An Siying: "Sister An, did Sister Jing not eat? Are you losing weight?"

"You just lost weight." Chen Jing replied casually.

An Siying pursed her lips and smiled: "Mr. Shan, Mr. Chen is very busy...you don't know how many procedures there are to go through in Shanghai."

Su Yuanshan was slightly startled, then smiled and shook his head.

Because of the emergence of Yuanxin, 908 has now been launched early, and Yuanxin has grown into a giant that can compete with international companies. Therefore, the current domestic semiconductor situation is indeed much "better" than in the previous life.

So much so that, like in the previous life, anyone who wanted to build a wafer fab would get the green light all the way to the point of going crazy.

Moreover, the Shanghai Stock Exchange is not a special zone, so everything can be simplified. This is not because the Shanghai Stock Exchange is deliberately making things difficult, but because there are indeed many procedures.

"It's okay, take your time. Deyi's side, I'll arrange to go there on the 28th."

Chen Jing held the document and asked, "Why do you want to go there on the 28th?"

Su Yuanshan smiled: "Because there is a big boss who is free on the 28th."

"Boss?" Chen Jing narrowed her eyes: "Is it... Zhang Rujin, whom you value very much?"

"Yeah... isn't it?" Su Yuanshan sighed.

Deyi had never been sure, and even Su Yuanshan, who was full of confidence, was a little anxious. Based on Vincenti's feedback, it was said that the board was not very keen.

——Listen, I’m not very keen. In fact, the subconscious mind is that you have to see a rabbit on the other side before you let go.

At that time, Su Yuanshan had ten thousand alpacas running through his heart.

This feeling of being whetted by someone's skills is really uncomfortable - this is one of the reasons that prompted him to come to Lin Benjian in advance.

That's why Su Yuanshan had to wait until Zhang Rujin returned to Deyi to report on his duties before visiting in person.

He wanted to have a real-life talk with Deyi and the others, and everyone would be happy if the talk was successful. If they can't reach an agreement, then he will make bigger moves.

——At any cost, even giving up the shares of Yuanxin headquarters, Zhang Rujin must be poached and let him directly preside over the construction of the factory!

Although this will definitely lead to a falling out with Deyi, Deyi has always been a slut, so Su Yuanshan can't be blamed.

Chen Jing handed the document to Su Yuanshan and asked him to read it item by item. After confirming that there was no problem, she said that she would take a shower and go to bed soon...

It seemed that like Su Yuanshan, she stayed up late and suffered from jet lag.

"Sister Xiaoan, take good care of your boss." Su Yuanshan warned before leaving.

"Okay!" An Siying made an OK gesture.

…

Early the next morning, Su Yuanshan and Chen Jing went to the exhibition at the same time.

If the reason why the World Distributors Conference in 1991 was unprecedented in scale was because it just got out of the "semiconductor cyclical winter", then this year's exhibition is because the semiconductor industry has begun to enter a climbing period.

At the same time... we have also entered the era of mobile communications.

In addition to Yuanxin and Xinghai, several established companies involved in communications, such as Motorola, Siemens, Nokia, and Sagem, also exhibited their products.

And in the future, with the gradual increase of these communication equipment, exhibitions such as Mobile World Congress (MWC) will be separated, and the Las Vegas Distributor Show will also develop a multi-country cooperation model. But in the end, it will still be squeezed out by all kinds of exhibitions, and eventually it will be canceled.

But now, this is still a good publicity channel.

As soon as he arrived at the main venue, Su Yuanshan heard a burst of broken English.

"Today, we will launch a next-generation game console device that will bring us an impeccable visual feast."

Su Yuanshan looked up and saw Kutaragi Ken standing on the main stage of the main venue, with Sony's largest color TV behind him. On the color TV, a racing car was shuttling between the ridge tracks.

Several dozen meters away, Su Yuanshan discovered that the picture quality of this broken game from 1993... was actually okay?

Then he couldn't help but became speechless.

Three meters of anti-aliasing, five meters of full HD, you won’t deceive me.
