Coquettish Rebirth

The Big Three of Nvidia agreed to Jia Hongjian's proposal. For them, Jia Hongjian's proposal was obviously a plan that suited their appetite.The two parties signed an agreement of intent, stipulating that Lao Huang would first discuss the share repurchase with the original venture capital, and then give priority to introducing Huaxia Hi-Tech as the second round of financing investors after the end.

I won't go into details about the specific negotiations in the middle. I will only say that after Jia Hongjian and Ye Jing signed the agreement with the three giants of Nvidia, they began to pack their things and prepare to book a flight to Boston.Naturally, the purpose of going to Boston was to negotiate with Dec Corporation. The headquarters of Dec Corporation is located in Boston—a small town called Maynard two to three hundred kilometers southwest.

While Ye Jing was yawning and packing up, Jia Hongjian stood in front of the window of the room, watching the beautiful scenery of the San Francisco Bay Area, and at the same time started making calls on the landline.Not long after, the call came through, "Hi, hello, what can I do?" There was a woman's voice on the other end of the phone.The number Jia Hongjian dialed was Bill Gates' cell phone, or his work cell phone number. "Hey, Amanda, I'm Jia Hongjian. Is Bill there? I've come to the United States to talk about a business. I'm here to say hello to him." Jia Hongjian smiled and said his purpose naturally.

Soon, Amanda handed the phone to Bill Gates, and Bill Gates' voice quickly came out of the microphone. "Hey, Hung-chien, how's it going? I heard you've come to America?" "Yes, Bill. By the way, I'm calling you this time to let you know that I have reached an agreement with the company nvidia. We will invest in them. I heard that their company is considered your Microsoft’s younger brother, so come over to say hello.”

The voice of Bill Gates was obviously a little surprised, "nvidia? You mean that small graphics card company? Indeed, that graphics card company helped us a lot when we promoted DirectX a few years ago, thanks to them. What are you going to do? invest?"

"That's like buying 40% of the shares..." Jia Hongjian said briefly.Today, this Nvidia company is still one of the lesser known graphics card companies among the 30 or so graphics card companies on the market. To be honest, its technical level is not so powerful or military.Therefore, the U.S. Congress will basically not control the acquisition of such a company.It's like Coca-Cola of later generations wants to acquire Huiyuan Juice.The Chinese government will take care of it.But if Coca-Cola acquires a company that is not particularly technically strong in the competitive market, such as Lotus MSG, the Chinese government will not take care of it at all.

"Very good, I'm really happy for you!" Bill Gates congratulated Jia Hongjian with a smile.Although he said congratulations, he was actually just saying polite words.After all, according to Bill Gates.The current Nvidia is a small company that cannot be small.Such a company is not to mention compared with Microsoft.It's even smaller than Huaxia Hi-Tech, and it's invincible without saying anything in the market, and it's even just a second-tier competitor.After acquiring such a company, do you still have to tell the world to celebrate?

After chatting here for a few words, Bill Gates suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Hung-chien, I heard that you are going to buy dec? Do you have that much money?" Factory and technical team. As you know, Bill, the consumption power of our Chinese market is relatively low, so consumers are more inclined to spend less money instead of buying better products. Jack Welch’s ge has already encountered in China After leaving Waterloo, their two-dollar energy-saving lamps are no more than tens of cents of products from unknown local Chinese manufacturers. Therefore, we try our best to have our own cpu, even if the performance is a little weaker, but as long as the cost is cheap and the overall price can be reduced, then our company The profit margin can still be guaranteed..."

Listening to Jia Hongjian's words, Bill Gates agreed with Jia Hongjian's statement, but at this moment he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, a few years ago, the chairman of dec, Ken Olsen, Layoffs, the result was impeachment by the board of directors, lost the title of chairman and president, and was kicked out of the company. Later, he opened a small company called ams in a small town next to Boston, and was still stubbornly developing his own System. This Ken Olsen was my biggest idol when I was a child. Even when I started my business, I used Olsen’s deeds as a bedtime story to motivate myself every day. Since you are going to Boston, why don’t you go to see Olsen? Elson?"

Of course, Jia Hongjian was interested in this legendary old man and went to have a look. "Okay, thank you for the information you provided, I'll check on him when I get back!" Jia Hongjian said with a smile.Later, he got the address of Olson's new company from Bill Gates, and by the way, he took a Microsoft business jet and flew all the way to Boston.

According to Bill Gates' popular science, this legendary old man is nearly 70 years old.He started his business with US$7, and has achieved a market value of tens of billions of US dollars. His business has spread to more than 100 countries around the world, and he has a total of 12 employees worldwide.And after such an old man was impeached and kicked out of his company like Jobs, he did not choose to retire because of his age, but brought 80 people by himself and started to create a new business!

Not to mention the old man's previous achievements, but if he was laid off in his 70s and still has the experience of starting a business and struggling like this, it is enough for Jia Hongjian to come here to pay homage!At least Jia Hongjian thought that if he was in his 90s and was impeached, he might be powerless, and his physical condition might not allow him to continue working hard for decades...

And such a street is relatively small in China. After all, these places are old houses and shanty houses, with only two or three floors in total.In later generations, in places like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, it is not surprising that there are tens of thousands of people within the jurisdiction of a street. Even in "industrial areas" such as Shenzhen and Hong Kong, it is normal for a street to govern tens of thousands of people. thing!Compared with China, this small town of 10 people is really at the level of a natural village!

This village of Boxboro is sparsely populated, basically it’s a bit like the Chinese countryside, and the houses are far away from each other, so it’s really not easy to not drive here.After a while, Jia Hongjian and the others drove a rented car and found the so-called "ions" according to the address given by Bill Gates. When translated into Chinese, it probably means "advanced modular solutions". Looking at the name of this company, Jia Hongjian felt that this old man Olsen seemed to have developed something extraordinary? Advanced modular solutions, this sounds very high-tech, doesn’t it? ?Although you may not be able to figure out any results after careful consideration, how can you make people feel that this name represents a great design concept?

After Jia Hongjian and Ye Jing walked into the ams company, they saw that the two-storey building was not very big, and there was only a desk and a middle-aged aunt in the lobby on the first floor—this should be the legend. front desk?Jia Hongjian and Ye Jing walked up to the aunt at the front desk, just in time to see the aunt looking up at them curiously, "Hello, I was introduced by Bill Gates to meet Ken Olsen."

"Oh! Are you from China? Come with me!" The middle-aged Caucasian aunt said enthusiastically. She was completely different from the front desk sister at the entrance of an ordinary technology company. She really felt like a neighborhood aunt!The caucasian aunt left her job without permission and took Jia Hongjian and Ye Jing upstairs. After passing through offices with no one there, they finally arrived at a rather large laboratory.This laboratory is quite heavily guarded. There are cameras and access control outside the metal gate, which looks like a video access control in a high-end community.The aunt came to the door, pressed a twist, and then saw the camera shift to the aunt and Jia Hongjian, and after the aunt said something, the door opened.

After following his aunt inside, Jia Hongjian only saw that the inside looked like a dust-free laboratory—there was a one-piece suit and a dust blowing channel at the door.At this time, I saw a fat old man in a one-piece suit walking towards Jia Hongjian and the others. When he got in front of him, the old man warmly shook hands with Jia Hongjian and said, "You are Jia? Bill and I told you, what are you doing here this time?"

Hey, this old man is really straightforward! "Hehe, I'm here this time to visit seniors in the industry..." Jia Hongjian said modestly.The old man smiled heartily at this time, "Why are seniors not seniors, I am a loser now haha... Okay, okay, our laboratory is relatively confidential, we can't let you in, let's chat outside Annie, can you bring us some coffee, young man, what do you two want to drink?" The old man took off his one-piece suit while talking, revealing the checkered shirt under the one-piece suit... (To be continued..)
