The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 1169 A Dinner
"Unless it can surpass in performance... No, as long as it can be tied, even if it is a little weaker, the situation will not be so passive!" Old Qiao sighed, and after scolding his own people, he also started Thinking about how to break the situation, but after much deliberation, it is impossible to deal with it. After all, the gap in hardware between the two parties cannot be equalized.

Until now, Apple's own chips have not been able to catch up with the processing power of the first-generation chips of the universe, and now Jiangnan Group is about to launch a second-generation product, how can this be done?
Just as Old Joe was feeling distressed about this, his secretary suddenly came in in a hurry and handed an invitation to Jobs.

"It turned out to be an invitation letter from Mr. Moore. He invited me to dinner in his own name?" Seeing this invitation, Jobs couldn't help but be a little shocked, because this invitation came from Gordon Moore.

For Chinese people, Gordon Moore may be a name that has never even been heard of, but in the electronics industry, especially the computer industry in the United States, Gordon Moore is a famous name. When you arrive, you must honor the existence of the old man.

The status is somewhat similar to Zhang Sanfeng's position in Taoism as a whole.

Because Gordon Moore is the founder of Intel.

Like most electronics industry founders, Gordon Moore is a technology businessman.

He participated in the creation of integrated circuits when he was young, and later created the famous Fairchild Semiconductor with 7 other people. This semiconductor company is known as the West Point Military Academy of Silicon Valley, because almost the entire development of Silicon Valley is from Derived from Fairchild Semiconductor.

Later generations of Fairchild Semiconductor were called the dandelion of Silicon Valley. After blowing away this dandelion, Silicon Valley was born.

However, because of Fairchild Semiconductor's various operations, Gordon Moore finally left Fairchild with his friends, and then founded Intel with one hand, and finally created the world's most powerful computer chip research and development company.

In 1987, Gordon Moore handed over the position of chairman of Intel to others, and he took a back seat.In 01, even the board of directors immediately withdrew, only holding less than 1% of Intel shares as a symbol of their connection with Intel.

It can be said that Gordon Moore is one of the gods who are still alive in the entire computer industry. There is still a generation between Jobs and him, and he will be very respectful when he sees him on weekdays.

It’s just that Gordon Moore and Jobs had little contact, and they only met on various social occasions. There was no personal friendship between the two, let alone attending Gordon Moore’s private banquet.

But now this invitation was delivered to Jobs, and the fool also knew that this private banquet must have other purposes.

Would Jobs decline the invitation?

That was impossible, of course, and in fact Jobs had been waiting for the invitation.

Sure enough, that night, Jobs came to Gordon Moore's home with a gift. This is a small estate far away from Silicon Valley, surrounded by farmland, and there is hardly any overly modern atmosphere. It is hard to imagine that a The old man who changed the entire electronic computer industry.

But Jobs discovered that he wasn't the only one invited.There are also several old acquaintances who came together, including his current opponent, Larry Page, the president of Google, and Alvin Jacob, the president of Qualcomm.

Such people unexpectedly appeared at a private banquet, and Jobs knew that this time the private banquet might be about business instead.

"Everyone, please drink up this glass first!" Gordon Moore raised his glass first, and the people around him naturally followed suit. became harmonious.

"Everyone must be very surprised, why an old guy like me, who has quit the circle a long time ago, invited everyone to come to me. In fact, this is not what I mean, but Intel asked me to come forward to call everyone, I After thinking about it, I invited everyone here!" Gordon Moore began to say, and the words at the beginning showed whether this was a simple private party.

"Sir, we all know that this meal is not easy, so just get down to business!" Jobs said very simply.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll just say it straight. Over the past year, I believe everyone knows how terrifying the sales volume of the universe terminal is. If this brand is allowed to continue to develop, the entire terminal market in the future, um, or Speaking of the mobile phone market, I am afraid that most of them will fall into the hands of opponents."

"The key to the success of our opponents is that we have never been able to launch a product that is technically comparable to the opponent."

"The few of us here are the best in this market. If the universe rises smoothly, then we will be in trouble. So I suggest that everyone abandon the previous suspicions, sit together and discuss cooperation, and work together to launch a product that can compete with the universe. Otherwise, we will wait for the day when the end comes!" Gordon Moore said lightly, with a sense of crisis in his words.

If he hadn't been reading his lines while eating a cake while holding a speech in his hand.

"How to cooperate?" Jobs still spoke quickly, very simply.

"Of course we all come up with our own strong technologies for open communication!" Gordon Moore "Our Intel can come up with the latest chip production technology, not the latest products you see in the market, but the original Product technology that won’t be released until six years from now.”

"This is a chip technology based entirely on 30nm process technology. Compared with the current microcomputer chip provided by Intel, the computing power has increased by more than 340%, and we guarantee that its computing power can be more than 20% ahead of the chip computing power of the first generation of the universe." Gordon Moore said lightly.

"It seems that what is said on the Internet is correct. Intel is indeed the world's best toothpaste manufacturer!" After listening to Gordon Moore's words, Ram Page couldn't help complaining.

Toothpaste manufacturers are a very famous meme on the Internet at this time, because with the exception of a few years, Intel has been able to steadily launch products with a computing power that is 20%-30% ahead of last year's chips, and it has always been like this.

At the beginning, buyers thought it was a fork of Intel, and there were new technological breakthroughs every year.

But it has been going on for so many decades, and some smart netizens have to come up with a guess, that is, whether Intel actually already has a chip that can have a computing power several times higher than the strongest chip it has released now. times, or even more than a dozen times, it's just that Intel deliberately releases a new generation of products every year that only improves a little bit.

So as to ensure that there are new products every year, and it also ensures that people have the desire to update every year, etc., just like squeezing toothpaste, you need to squeeze out the contents of the toothpaste little by little, and never squeeze out all the toothpaste in one go It was overwhelmed.

And now Intel has come up with something with 3.4 times the performance in one breath, which proves from the side that the toothpaste-squeezing stalk on the Internet is true.

And no one knows whether this 3.4 times performance thing is the last hole card in Intel's hands, and whether it has picked up other more awesome things after hearing it, but it just hasn't been released.

Regarding Larry Page's complaints, Gordon Moore was expressionless, but said to Qualcomm beside him, "Although Intel has corresponding chip production technology, it is still very enthusiastic about communication baseband. So I hope Qualcomm can Contribute your own 3G communication technology."

Then, Gordon Moore turned to Jobs and said, "The chips produced by Qualcomm are too hip in terms of process and architecture, so I also hope that Apple can come up with related process and architecture technologies."

"As long as we combine the top three technologies of our three companies, we will be able to produce a chip that is not weaker than the first generation of the Universe in terms of performance. As for the technology shares of the three companies in this company , let’s talk slowly, let’s finalize this cooperation first!” Gordon Moore said very simply.

And his cooperation plan is indeed very ruthless, combining the most powerful technical parts of the three companies. The chips produced in this way may indeed have the cost to compete with the universe. The key lies in whether the other two companies Agree to this cooperation.

"As long as the distribution of shares is reasonable, we have no objection." Qualcomm's president, Alvin Jacobs, immediately agreed. After all, he has the weakest sense of presence among the companies he is working on.

Don't look at how powerful Qualcomm will be in the field of mobile phone chips in the future, but at this time Qualcomm has actually entered a half-dead state. After all, the 3G technology they are promoting has not yet been fully popularized, and smart phones are also in the ascendant. It is hard to see A little dawn, but was instantly killed by Tian Zhou, who was born out of the sky, and Qualcomm was also the most anxious one among everyone present.

As long as it can find a way to improve the market, Qualcomm will naturally agree.

After Qualcomm nodded in agreement, his eyes naturally fell on Jobs.

"We think that a joint venture is a good model of cooperation," Jobs said coldly, "The three joint ventures sound like they are integrating the technical strength of the participants, but in fact they are all three companies arguing separately. Who should the three companies join together to listen to?" How will the equity of the three companies be divided? How will the future power of the products produced in the end be distributed?"

"The three of us may not have other ideas at the moment, but once the company is up and running, we can't help ourselves, so I will never agree to establish any joint venture company!"

"Really?" Gordon Moore frowned. Although he had expected that Jobs would be difficult, he did not expect that the other party would be difficult to deliver.
