Chapter 606 CPU graphics card achievements!

Li Wei understood that the Wisdom Hotel had a five-star buffet restaurant.

The cuisine and service are probably similar to other five-star hotels.

For the general public, it is a five-star meal.

But if you travel frequently, you've had enough of this kind of buffet and don't think it's that high-end, and you may even feel a little bored.

If you want to experience better and more authentic specialties, you can go to the exhibition hall, which is where the annual meeting is held.

In the exhibition hall, there are not only super-large banquet halls that can hold annual meetings, but also many banquet halls of different sizes such as micro, small, medium, large, and extra-large to meet different needs.

Of course, if you don’t want a private room, you can also dine in the hall.

I have to say, this arrangement is very good.

"I heard that the chefs in the banquet hall are an executive chef team poached from the five-star hotel Shark's Fin Palace?" Li Wei recalled a piece of information circulating among his colleagues.

"I don't know about that. Well, I can only say that many people say so." Xiao Ai replied meaningfully.

"???" Li Wei's expression became strange, and he looked confused: "AI is so powerful now? Can it even give hints?"

"I didn't hint at anything. You are so smart that you made your own guesses. Well, it must be like this."

Li Wei was speechless for a moment: "..."

"Okay, since you're so smart, I have to experience it today."

Without much hesitation, Li Wei called a few close colleagues and headed straight to the showroom:
"Let's go to the exhibition hall to have a meal first, then go to see the springs in the afternoon, and climb Qianfo Mountain at night."

"Good idea, let's check on Xia Yuhe tomorrow!"

"Sure, sure. It's very comfortable."

Several people hit it off immediately.

After the annual meeting, the annual holiday begins.

Some colleagues had a buffet breakfast, left Jeju and returned directly to their hometowns.

Some colleagues, like Li Wei and others, went to the exhibition hall for a meal first and then had some fun in Jeju!
It’s a rare opportunity to come to the City of Springs, so it would be a shame not to take the opportunity to travel.

Moreover, the company will reimburse all accommodation during the annual meeting, as long as it is a quality room. And it is not just one day, on the contrary, the standard for everyone is three days.

As long as employees are willing, they can spend two days in Jeju and then just put it on the bill and the company will reimburse them all.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if it exceeds three days. Employees can pay the room fee first and get reimbursed later.

Each employee has an additional 12 quality room reimbursement allowances each year, which is considered a company benefit.

Of course, if you upgrade to a deluxe suite or executive suite, it will not be reimbursed, only the internal employee discount price, that's all.

When making reimbursements, you don’t need to issue paper invoices. Electronic invoices will be generated by default and you can make reimbursements based on the electronic invoices.

Since 2013, electronic invoices have developed rapidly under the joint promotion of several major departments.

Soon, Li Wei and three others arrived at the banquet hall.

The waitress in a black suit at the door greeted us warmly: "Welcome, sir, how many are you?"

"Four people, give us a private room."

"Okay, follow me." The waiter took Li Wei and his four companions to private room No. 7, a small room that could seat 4-6 people.

Then point to the QR code sign on the table:
"Sir, you can place an order and add dishes by scanning the QR code with Changchat or Douyin. For settlement, you can go to the front desk or pay online with Changchat. If you need an invoice, you can scan and issue an electronic invoice. If you need a paper invoice, you can go to the front desk to issue it."

"Ok."

Li Wei was surprised again. He never expected that scanning code to place orders, scanning code to pay, and electronic invoices, which were just starting in the capital, were already popular here!

You know, at present, scanning codes to place orders is just the beginning, and chat payment is also just starting out, and many stores in the capital do not support it.

Unexpectedly, Mayu Technology has already been fully popularized here.

It can only be said that Xingyi Technology has once again reached the forefront of the times.

the other side.

Wang Yi and Song Si Ning worked hard all night and did not get up until noon.

While eating brunch, the two chatted about the development of Mayu Technology Park.

"I checked it out and found that the Xingyi Smart Hotel is very good. The accommodation is five-star and there are two 37-story sky buffet restaurants, one for Chinese food and one for Western food. Whether it's for dining or afternoon tea, they complement each other."

Wang Yi looked at the plan on the tablet and changed the subject: "But that's not enough. We still need to plan more restaurants."

There are a total of 15 buildings in the entire Meiyu Science and Technology Park Area 37, and only two -story high-rise buildings, which are Xingyi Smart Hotel Building A and Building B, located in the northwest corner of Meiyu Science and Technology Park Area .

The other 13 buildings are commercial buildings ranging from 10 to 27 floors.

The advantage of a 37-story high-rise building located in the northwest corner is that even though it is a 37-story building, it will not cause much impact on the lighting of the 27-story office building in the southernmost row of Zone .

There is no other reason. What affects the lighting is never the front, but the side.

And it is located in the northwest corner, so the impact on the back is even more negligible, especially the lighting in the morning, which has no effect at all.

It may have some impact on a few floors in the front row of Phase II in the afternoon, but the impact is not significant. On the contrary, it blocks the western sun.

This was fully taken into consideration during the planning.

Further north is the second area of ​​Meiyu Technology Park and the Shandong provincial headquarters of Xingyi Technology.

Employees who come on business trips from the headquarters can have a meal in the exhibition hall and stay directly at the Xingyi Smart Hotel.

To the east of the two Xingyi Smart Hotels are two 27-story luxury apartments.

Currently, one building faces the interior and is rented to employees of the provincial headquarters of Mayu Technology and Xingyi Technology.

The other building is fully commercialized and rented to other tenants.

The remaining 11 buildings are even lower, with a total height of 25 floors, 20 floors, and 10 floors.

Song Si Ning pointed to the plan map and said, "In the southwest corner, this 10-story building is located at a crossroads. It has a good location and is exactly our commercial complex. It has ten floors above ground and two floors underground."

"The decoration has been completed. We originally planned to introduce MixC and other shopping malls, and then build our own shopping mall. We will start attracting investment after the new year."

“When the time comes, a large chain supermarket will be introduced to the basement level.”

"The ten floors above have major brand stores, restaurants, game rooms, gyms, bars, cinemas, etc."

"As for the other buildings, the lower two floors are all shops for rent. In addition to the Mayu flagship store, Xingyi flagship store, and Xingyue flagship store, Starbucks, KFC, McDonald's, Burger King, and dental clinics have already moved in."

“As for the other floors, they will still be office buildings or apartments.”

Wang Yi nodded: "That's no problem. After all, it's impossible to turn all 15 buildings into shopping malls or hotels. The remaining apartments can be open to the public or rented out as a whole. As for office buildings, we don't need so many. Wujie also has an industrial park. Let's rent it out as well. We can rent it out separately or as a whole."

"Okay, only rent it out, not sell it?" Song Si Ning asked.

Unlike Meiyu Technology Park and Wujie Technology Park, Wujie Technology Park is mostly industrial land.

The Meiyu Technology Park is commercial land, and its office buildings, apartments, shopping malls, etc. can all be sold to the public.

Wang Yi waved his hand: "Don't worry, at least we can't sell it now. We can consider it in a few years."

It is still the eastern suburbs and the surrounding area has not yet developed. The housing prices in 2014 were also very cheap and could not be sold at all.

Houses nearby are only around 5,000 to 6,000 yuan per square meter, and apartments are only around 3,000 yuan per square meter, which is very cheap.

But by around 2017, things were different.

Three years later, the financial center is established, the CBD is planned, and large high-tech enterprises gather around. The area has been transformed and reached maturity, and there is still room for development. You can sell it then.

By then, house prices will range from 25,000 to over 30,000 yuan, and apartment prices will range from 10,000 to 15,000 yuan.

It increased four or five times in three years.

It is better to lease it out first and then sell it after three years.

Wang Yi changed the subject: "By the way, our Xingyi Smart Hotel was in trial operation last year, so the price can be lower."

"We will start formal operations this year and our prices will have to be adjusted to match those of five-star hotels."

"The quality room is now 499, increase it to 999."

"The deluxe suite is currently 799, increase it to 1999."

"The higher-end executive suite is now 1499, and it will be raised to 2999!"

"Okay." Song Si Ning responded: "With this adjustment, it is indeed comparable to a five-star hotel. However, due to our cooperation with corporate members, we can give them discounts..."

"Integrity comes first. For those still under contract, we will continue to perform according to the contract. For those who have renewed their contracts, we will follow the new price. Of course, they will definitely have objections after the price doubled."

"Yes, I am worried about this problem." Song Si Ning couldn't help but say: "For example, the price of luxury suites has increased from 799 to 1999. Even Inspur Heavy Duty Truck will be very anxious."

"Haha, that's fine. Let's raise the price, but we can also increase the discount we give them."

Wang Yi said with a smile: "For example, the executive suite was originally 1499, but with a 2999% discount for corporate members like Inspur, it is around 1500. Now it has risen to 400, and with a 3000% discount for renewal, it is only 1500. Although it costs more than , it is yuan in face value. It is a full yuan more than before!"

Song Si Ning's eyes lit up: "I see. Before, they spent 1049 to treat customers to an executive suite that cost 1499 a night. From now on, they will spend 1499 to treat customers to an executive suite that costs 3000 a night. This is a great honor."

"It's still the same apartment. The company spent 450 more, and we earned 450 more. The company also has face, and the customer is happy. Maybe the order will be completed, and the company is happy too. Everyone is happy!"

"Yes, that's the truth. When these companies invite big customers, the key is face. If it's too cheap, they will feel embarrassed. More importantly, it's all reimbursed by the company, not their own money."

"Hahaha, that's it." Song Si Ning laughed.

It hurts to spend my own money.

But if the company reimburses for business banquets, then it doesn’t matter.

And the price of 1499 is indeed not high-end.

2999 a night, that's better.

What's more, there is a 50% discount for corporate members, so companies have no objection.

After the meal, Song Sining asked the people from the hotel business department to notify those big customers.

When we heard the price was going to go up, we were not happy. But after the price increase, we heard that the discount was 50%, so we didn’t spend much more money overall, and it was more impressive.

Without any surprise, several major customers who were about to renew their contracts readily agreed and renewed their contracts decisively.

Spend 450 more and buy noodles worth 3000, it’s a total bargain!
Xingyi Smart Hotel, with its location and price, is destined to be a business hotel, and its main target customers are companies and business people who have reimbursement.

As for ordinary people who pay for their own stay, they may try a quality room that costs 999 a night, but for a deluxe suite or executive suite that costs 1999/1999, the cost will be less.

So, Song Si Ning had a new idea:
"Xingyi Smart Hotel is positioned as a high-end business hotel, which is unaffordable for ordinary people. Should we take out two more buildings and turn them into Wujie Smart Hotel to target the mid-range market? Standard rooms are priced at 299, deluxe rooms at 599, business suites at 999, and executive suites at 1499? Wujie Smart Hotel has smaller rooms, more rooms, and lower configuration than Xingyi Smart Hotel, so it is priced lower."

"Okay, let's do it this way." Wang Yi agreed happily.

Such an arrangement also fits the group's positioning.

Big customers, go to Xingyi Smart Hotel.

Small customers and ordinary consumer groups can also use the borderless smart hotel. The starting price of 299 or 599 is really not expensive.

"This model can be promoted throughout the country. The supporting businesses we develop on the land we have acquired can be used to build smart hotels at the same time. In developed and core areas, we can build Xingyi Smart Hotels, which focus on high-end business. In underdeveloped areas, we can build Wujie Smart Hotels, which focus on mid-range convenience."

"That's great. I'll push forward with it later." Song Si Ning was still resolute and decisive.

These days, when developers acquire land, they have to build some commercial facilities or schools.

It is either office building + shop or apartment + shop.

Xingyi Real Estate has a bigger plan, directly building an industrial park + commercial complex, and introducing high-end hotels.

We were worried about what brand of hotel to introduce before, but now we can directly build our own Xingyi Smart Hotel and Wujie Smart Hotel.

The same is true for commercial complexes. Introducing third-party businesses such as MixC, Wanda, and Wanhong requires multiple negotiations, which is very troublesome.

Sometimes, the plots of land that Xingyi Technology likes are not liked by Mixc, Wanda, and Wanhong. After all, the land acquired by Xingyi Technology are now all in large suburbs, and most of them are future new urban areas.

Not all companies are as visionary as Wang Yi and Xingyi Real Estate.

Even among Jeju people, in 2014, most people felt that the area near the Olympic Sports Center was a rural-urban fringe.

Everyone thinks that the location of Wujie Technology Park is very remote. As for the Meiyu Technology Park further east, it is out of the city and is a complete urban-rural fringe area.

Only Wang Yi knew that within three years, this place would leap forward and become a new economic and financial center.

There is no way around it. The old city has become completely solidified and there is no room for development.

Unless the old city is blown up, everything is demolished and rebuilt.

But this is obviously unrealistic.

And it's not just Jeju, it's the same across the country.

The old city cannot be moved because the cost is too high and the difficulty is too great. It is no match for building a new city in the urban-rural fringe.

How cheap is it to demolish houses in the village!
"Chairman, it seems not enough to build only two Boundless Smart Hotels. If possible, I suggest further reducing the number of apartments and building four Boundless Smart Hotels."

Song Sining strongly supports the strategy of adding hotels.

"Four borderless smart hotels!" Wang Yi pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, the speed at which apartments make money is far slower than that of hotels!"

You should know that the current monthly rent for a fully furnished apartment is only 1000-1500 yuan.

It will take three years for the price to rise to 2000-2500!

If it is made into a borderless smart hotel, an apartment can be turned into a business suite or executive suite, which costs 999-1499 per night.

That’s right, one day’s accommodation fee is equivalent to one month’s apartment rent.

The return on investment is simply incomparable.

Even if the occupancy rate is only 30% during 40 days of a month, it is equivalent to the annual income of the apartment.

What’s more, with so many businesses nearby, the occupancy rate shouldn’t be only 40%!

In a few years, when the financial center is fully operational, there will be more companies here and higher business demands.

Building two more hotels is not a problem.

"Just do as you say. Two Xingyi Smart Hotels and four Wujie Smart Hotels. This area will be very prosperous in the future. In addition, we have a commercial complex with many shops in District 3. When the time comes, we will introduce banks, clinics, etc., and the supporting facilities will be complete. We will have a one-stop service for eating, drinking, and having fun. Customers will not be a problem."

"With six smart hotels and our apartments, there are so many high-end companies nearby with high spending power, and the nearby commercial complexes and shops along the street are doing well. Merchants are also willing to move in. It can be said that the two complement each other, forming a virtuous circle."

"Yes!" Song Si Ning was a little surprised. She just said it casually, but she didn't expect Wang Yi to think of so much.

I can only say that there is still a gap in vision.

"No, I have to think more about it from now on!" Song Si Ning thought to herself.

in the afternoon.

Wang Yi, Williams, Mr. Hu, and several other core senior executives were also sitting in an executive room in the banquet hall, talking about business development.

If last night’s annual meeting was the company’s large-scale annual meeting, then this gathering is a small core meeting!
Williams was filled with emotion: "No, we need to increase the R&D of CPUs. The current results are not powerful enough and the performance is relatively low. Mid-range CPUs will take some time!"

"Have you achieved any results?" Wang Yi's eyes lit up.

Williams nodded. "After so much research and development, it's not like we haven't made any progress in PC chips. On the contrary, we have developed the first CPU, but its performance is very average, equivalent to the third generation I3, internally codenamed X3300."

“Since it has been made, why hasn’t it been reported and arranged for release and mass production?” Wang Yi was a little surprised.

He knew nothing about this.

Williams sighed and said, "Chairman, Intel's third-generation I3 was released in April 2012, using a 4-nanometer process."

"The fourth generation I3 was released in June 2013, also using the 6nm process."

"Our first CPU, the X3300, is made with a 28nm process and has performance comparable to the third-generation I3. If it had been successfully developed last year, and was one year behind Intel's low-end CPU, it would still have been acceptable."

"But the samples were only taped out in early 2014, and the performance was poor. Even if it was released, it would still be two years behind Intel."

"More importantly, it is two years behind Intel's low-end CPU I3, and it is impossible to calculate how many years it is behind mid-to-high-end CPUs."

"For this reason, I gave up publishing it and chose to continue research and development!"

Wang Yi understood.

If it lags behind I5 of the same year by two years, that’s not bad, at least it’s presentable.

But being two years behind I3 is hard to describe.

"It's okay. Everything is difficult at the beginning. You can just continue researching and developing." Wang Yi encouraged.

Computer chips, from scratch.

It's only been over a year, and Williams has been able to make a chip comparable to the third-generation I3, which is a good start.

Williams nodded. "Right now, the CPU department has three teams working on R&D simultaneously. One team is responsible for the low-end CPU, which is comparable to Intel's I3. We will continue to polish the X3300 and improve its performance. It is estimated that by the middle of the year, we will be able to produce the X3, which will be comparable to the fourth-generation I3400!"

"Another team is responsible for the development of mid-range CPUs, which are comparable to the i5 and internally codenamed X5400. They may not be able to beat the fourth-generation i7, but they will definitely beat the fourth-generation i5. We expect a breakthrough in the second half of this year."

"As for the third team, they are responsible for developing a high-end CPU, codenamed X7500! It will be comparable to the fifth-generation Intel Core i7 that will be released at the end of this year or early next year. However, it will not be released until early next year."

Only by making products comparable to the fourth-generation I3 and i5 can we show them off.

It can be seen that Williams is under a lot of pressure.

Wang Yi nodded: "It's okay, this pace is good. We will get X3400 by the middle of this year. And X5400 in the second half of the year. That's enough."

Wang Yi also understood Williams' naming convention, which was aimed at competing with Intel.

英特尔CPU分为入门级I3、中端I5、高端I7，威廉姆斯也分成入门级X3、中端X5、高端X7。

The first number after the Intel series represents the generation.

比如I3-4130中的4就是第四代I3，威廉姆斯也是如此，X3之后的数字对标第几代。

For example, the number 3400 after the X3 in X4 means that the performance is comparable to Intel's fourth-generation I3.

X7500, performance is comparable to Intel's fifth-generation I7.

The advantage of similar naming rules is that it allows users to distinguish the performance at a glance without being confused.

This makes it convenient for users to choose.

If users are not even sure about the performance, they will not have the time to study it one by one. Instead, they will just give up and choose the familiar Intel.

The graphics card department is also under tremendous pressure, and they are under even greater pressure.

Yu Longxing, the R&D director of the graphics card team and the former S3 graphic R&D director, also looked sad:
"Chairman, we have also made our first graphics card, but its performance... is very poor, even terrible."

"Not to mention comparing it with Nvidia's mid-range graphics cards, it can't even beat the entry-level graphics cards of the same generation. It's equivalent to Nvidia's entry-level graphics card GT 630 two years ago, so I named it RT 630..."

Listening to Yu Longxing's introduction, Wang Yi understood

The performance of this graphics card is hard to describe in a few words.

The gap with NVIDIA is extremely large.

More importantly, if the CPU is a little worse, it’s not a big problem, as long as it is sufficient.

But if the graphics card is bad, then it really won’t work and it just won’t work.

Whether it is playing games or 3D drawing, it requires a lot of graphics card effort.

Wang Yi smiled faintly: "It's okay, it's normal. Graphics cards are very difficult to make. You have succeeded in making it in such a short time. Keep up the good work."

"But after spending a lot of money on research and development, it ended up being a waste product..." Yu Longxing's face was full of melancholy.

Although Williams' X3300 is not very good, it can still be upgraded to X3400, and it is entirely possible to catch up with the fourth-generation I3 and be used commercially.

But its RT 630 is useless. It's not just a slacker. According to the current level, it is not even qualified to be an entry-level discrete graphics card!

It's useless to continue upgrading because the performance gap is too big. It's useless!

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Since it can't be used as a discrete graphics card, then let's use it as a core graphics card for X3400 and X5400! It's not qualified to be a discrete graphics card, but it's okay to be a core graphics card, right?"

"That's no problem. After all, it's equivalent to the performance of a GT 630, and slightly better than the integrated graphics of Intel's fourth-generation I3 and I5."
