Coquettish Rebirth

Here, Olsen and the others are excitedly starting to study and try to make this legendary high-standard all-in-one machine. At the same time, on the other hand, they are starting to study how to streamline the production model—if there is no assembly line, it will be done entirely by lathes. The shell, it will be really tiring, and I can’t do a few in a day, but with the assembly line, it will be different. At least everything from aluminum alloy plate pressing to perforation can be done by machine, and even the coloring can be done by machine. !

When Olson and others were trying to make it, news came from Dec over there, and they basically agreed to Jia Hongjian's offer.In the end, a local chip factory with about 3.2 workers was acquired by Dec for US$[-] million.As for the cpu design team, Jia Hongjian and Ye Jing were asked to discuss one by one. Dec Company didn't set up any obstacles, and they didn't even ask for resignation fees.

Originally, according to the contract, the cpu factory had to negotiate the contract with the workers one by one.But Jia Hongjian didn't care about it. He knew that the union would definitely raise wages, and he didn't want to set up a cpu factory in such a high-wage place in the United States. Isn't this too much?His R&D center is still in China, but he moved the factory to the United States?Isn't this the direct opposite of the pattern popular all over the world?Really afraid that the cost is not high enough?

Therefore, apart from skilled backbones and technical backbones in a few positions, Jia Hongjian’s entire factory workers did not intend to acquire them, and directly thought about closing the factory, selling the land and the factory building, and then dismantling the production line and transporting them back to the factory. China to go!Looking back, it is more reasonable to assemble it at Kunshan in Shanghai than to build a CPU factory in the United States?

the other side.After Jia Hongjian and the others signed the contract with Dec, they stopped by Silicon Valley to meet Lao Huang.When I went to see Lao Huang, Lao Huang and the others were having a meeting with a group of Chinese.After Lao Huang and the others adjourned the meeting, Jia Hongjian could clearly see that all the people coming out of the meeting were Chinese faces, speaking Chinese, and of course, the accent was the so-called Dawan Mandarin.

After returning to the office, Lao Huang immediately gave Jia Hongjian a hug when he saw Jia Hongjian.Then I saw Jia Hongjian looking curiously at those yellow-skinned and black-eyed people who came out of the conference room.he said with a smile. "This is a new batch of foundries I contacted, all of which are from Dawan. I plan to vigorously introduce OEMs from Dawan. The cost here in the United States is still too high. It is better to keep the cost of Dawan down. .And the technical level of the two parties is basically at the same level. Contact them now. It is to discuss how to design the pcb printed circuit board of the tnt graphics card..."

Listening to Lao Huang, they have already started to discuss the specific circuit board design of the tnt graphics card.Jia Hongjian knew that this old Huang must be ready to mount TNT.This tnt graphics card seems to have been released in August or October of 98 in history.As soon as it was released, it almost made the 8dfx company anxious, and the other party had to quit the voodoo10 graphics card. As a result, the voodoo3 graphics card has never competed with TNT. Then, the 3dfx company began to go downhill after a few years of glory. ...

"Huang, the funds from our side have arrived, and we can pay you in the next few days. Shall we sign the contract today?" Jia Hongjian asked with a smile. Huang Renxun was also very happy about this. They had already successfully repurchased shares before. After all, their tnt graphics card has not been announced to the outside world, and they have not even told the board of directors, so they have to give up the listing, but the possibility of repurchasing shares still makes the venture capital of the board of directors happy. After all, they Stocks are not selling well right now.

At the same time, the fact that the stock sales were not good also made Lao Huang cherish Jia Hongjian's investment in shares even more. After all, at least from now on, Jia Hongjian, a "compatriot", is still not cheating him at all. Going public can raise a lot of funds, and at the same time, it doesn't have such a strong desire for power, which is very suitable for Lao Huang's appetite.Because he is a very controlling person, as long as he is in the company, he must be the boss!He can't bear to be in the lower position now!

"Okay, Hung Chien! Let me tell you, buddy, you made the right choice to invest in us. This must be one of the most successful investments in your life! I am absolutely confident that after half a year, you will be able to I can assure you that our tnt graphics card will definitely kill the voodoo graphics card in one year!" The strong old Huang is as sincere as Lao Mei at this time, with all kinds of ambitions.

Of course Jia Hung-chien believed him, because there is history to testify!But Jia Hongjian didn't know why at this time, he wanted to tease Lao Huang, so he asked with a slightly skeptical expression: "You are so confident? 3dfx is the current market leader!"

"Of course I have confidence, Hung-chien, do you know that I have already grasped the lifeblood of 3dfx! Their lifeblood is that the voodoo graphics card is just a 3D accelerator card, and it needs to be used with a 2D graphics card to be useful! It is true that their 3D acceleration The performance is really good, and even two cards can be slied together for 3D acceleration, but consumers need to purchase an additional 2D graphics card, isn’t that costing more money? And our tnt graphics card also has dual rendering lines, which is quite Because of the 3D acceleration performance of two voodoo graphics cards, we also have plenty of 2d rendering transistors, that is to say, buying one of our graphics cards can be worth buying two voodoo graphics cards plus a 2d graphics card! And the price is definitely cheaper than buying Three are cheap! In addition, their 2dfx company does not open their glide interface, that is, an API program interface for others to use, and only one manufacturer can use it... Such an approach will definitely make their standard be eliminated !"

Listening to Lao Huang's words, Jia Hongjian really didn't expect that computers these days turned out to be like this - it's not his fault, he didn't have a computer at this time in his previous life, so of course he didn't know much about it.And his first computer was also a so-called Lianxiang brand machine, what kind of hardware did he know at that time!And although he bought a computer in this life, because his knowledge system is from the 21st century, he doesn't use it much except knowing the brand of his cpu.

He was even surprised to find that game consoles these days—that is, Japanese game consoles such as sfc and md—have better graphics than computers. Of course, n64 and ps are even better than computer games. There is no game that Jia Hongjian can devote himself to playing, so he seldom touches the computer. He touches the computer for work, of course he doesn't understand these things!

"Papa papa", Jia Hongjian applauded Lao Huang after hearing what happened these days.Well, the way the applause was a bit contrived, so after a few rounds of applause, Jia Hongjian stopped doing it. "It's a good thing that you have this kind of confidence, that is, because you have this kind of strength and the ambition to become the leader of the market, that's why I came to you to invest... By the way, Renxun, tell me, Why are PS console game screens better than computer game screens these days? Is it because there are no powerful developers investing in computer games?"

Hearing Jia Hongjian's question, Lao Huang was a little surprised. He seemed to think that the host computer's screen should be better than the computer's screen!So after thinking for a while, he slowly replied, "How should I put it... This is because before the PC industry, no one researched graphics technology for civilian PCs, at least no super-professional companies. But game console manufacturers They are all researching, this is the foundation of their diet. For example, the graphics processing chips on game consoles are basically developed by their game companies themselves or in cooperation with others. Such a high-tech product is naturally better than ours. Now many small and medium graphics card manufacturers in the PC field have advanced technology... However, I have a dream. This dream is that one day, I want our graphics card to become the way of the game and the benchmark in the industry. Ask us to customize the graphics processing chip!"

Whoa!So it is like this now?But thinking about it, groups like Sony have good design capabilities and technical levels in the semiconductor chip industry. If there are not too many awesome games on the PC, the graphics display technology of the PC has not yet developed. Sometimes, they develop their own graphics chips with their own technical level, and the effect is better than that produced by small and medium graphics card manufacturers in the industry, which is not surprising!After all, graphics cards are still in the late Warring States period in this year, and there are still at least 30 small and medium-sized manufacturers on the market!In this case, it is understandable that the technical level is not as good as human beings.

After the 21st century, there were only two suppliers of graphics card chips, and the two big fish who became bigger had a lot of small money invested in research every year, so the display effect of this computer gradually surpassed that of dedicated game consoles. It should be justified - no wonder in his previous life Jia Hongjian felt that the game screens on the ps2 were better than those on the computer. Wasn't this his own illusion?That is to say, when I came to xbox and ps3, at first it seemed that the screens on both sides were similar, but later on, the high-end screens of this computer became more beautiful. But to improve the picture quality!

"Well, it seems that I have been reborn into an interesting age!" Jia Hongjian thought at this moment.At least he had never thought of such a thing before!No wonder I have never heard of amd or Nvidia graphics cards for ps hosts before. That is to say, I only heard of using Nvidia graphics cards when I arrived at ps3. The console and the so-called ps2012 both use amd's graphics card and cpu solution! (To be continued..)
