Coquettish Rebirth

As for Ye Jing, he didn't figure out how to raise the conditions for a while, and Jia Hongjian didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, he was waiting for Ye Jing to speak. How would Jia Hongjian's life be before he spoke? how to live.Here, he paid a little attention to the tourism situation on Eleventh, and went to find the data from Wanjuan Travel Agency.It’s incredible to see that the surrounding area is really popular for tourists. Like Zhouzhuang, a simple and simple tourist spot around Shanghai with petty bourgeoisie, there are so many people rubbing shoulders during this November!

The various long-distance travel routes prepared by Wanjuan Travel Agency were not fully booked at all, and most of the passengers came to ask if there were any surrounding tours.Zhang Jiayan and the others had to rush to add a lot of surrounding tours - their travel agency had only been doing surrounding tours in the past two years, and they were not familiar with the market for surrounding tours, so if they wanted to temporarily add surrounding tours, that would be fine. Very easy.But after they added the two-day tour of China Film and Television City and the two-day tour of Zhouzhuang on Kunshan Mountain, they soon found that the number of applicants exploded. Then, they quickly increased the number of tour groups for surrounding tours , As a result, who knows that after adding a lot of groups, I found that the various vehicles around the tour, the number of people received, and even accommodation, meals, etc. are a bit overcrowded!

To be honest, after the May Day tourism market was booming, this really made Zhang Jiayan and the others feel that the big development period of travel agencies is coming.Originally, they saw the popularity of long-term travel on May 30st, and the popularity of long-term travel during the summer vacation. Of course, they thought that long-term travel would be popular next.So in the past few months, it has been a long-term tour of various construction structures!As a result, who knew that the market trend would change in an instant, and short-term travel became popular in an instant!All of a sudden.The new long-distance tour constructed is basically just a small profit, and it is not as big as imagined. Even the joint venture China Airlines, the business this time is not as hot as it was on May [-]st, and the business has dropped rapidly. [-]% off!

At this moment, Jia Hongjian believed that he had indeed lost the bet.It seems that when he watched the news in his previous life, he probably didn't write down all the details. He only remembered that the number of passengers on trains dropped, and he didn't remember the popularity of short-term travel.Isn't this committing suicide?However.It's not like he can't afford to lose, and he doesn't take such a bet as very important.

After paying attention to this moment for a while, he started to watch other news.Now watch the news every day.This is one of Jia Hongjian's living habits.In his previous life, he seldom watched the news.But in this life.He found that reading more news is quite beneficial. At least as a boss, reading more news can sometimes catch some new opportunities that he hadn't thought of but hadn't found.

like now.Jia Hongjian was surprised to see a piece of news - "Lianxiang Company and American 3dfx Company Form a Battleship Partnership".Shit, isn't the 3dfx company down yet?According to Jia Hongjian, it is a shareholder of Nvidia, and it is still a major shareholder that occupies the vast majority of shares, yes.In theory, this 3dfx is also Jia Hongjian's competitor.As for 3dfx, it must be dead, which is why Jia Hongjian has never bought 3dfx—this graphics card manufacturer has introduced its own software interface standard, which means that game manufacturers in the industry bought 3dfx voodoo Graphics card players can play their games, so a mode must be developed specifically for 3dfx, and it must meet other 3dfx standards.

Such an approach obviously reduces efficiency very much. At the same time, such a route also hinders Microsoft's ambition to dominate across the board!So in the past few years, Microsoft began to formulate a unified software middle layer interface, which is the directx that everyone knows in the future.Microsoft's idea is very simple. Now various standards are rampant in the industry. Although it may be possible to make use of these standards to better utilize the capabilities of the hardware, it will reduce efficiency too much.So what Microsoft is doing is to unify a third-party interface. In the future, downstream game manufacturers don't need to learn any individual niche standards. At least they only need to learn how to cooperate with direct in computer games!

At this time, Nvidia, who was still a child, directly hugged Microsoft's thigh and took the lead in announcing that he would join the direct camp. Microsoft would definitely want a lot of money to buy a horse bone, so it also gave a lot of preferential measures.Then, after Nvidia welcomed Jia Hongjian's capital injection, it quickly launched the hot-selling tnt graphics card, and then in February 99, Nvidia even launched the legendary blockbuster - tnt2 graphics card!This tnt2 graphics card directly became the king of graphics cards in early 2 with its excellent 3D display performance!All of a sudden took away a lot of graphics card market!

And at this time, what is 3dfx doing?What about 96dfx, which nearly monopolized the market in 3, they did not launch the next-generation graphics card — Voodoo 3, but began to acquire graphics card foundries in a leisurely manner!That's right, in this industry, the manufacturing process of graphics cards is basically different from that of CPUs! In the cpu field, there are very few OEMs, such as Intel and AMD, which have their own factories!Even if amd did not mix well in 2012, they spun off their factory independently, and then found TSMC or other OEMs, but in this era they still produce by themselves!

CPU manufacturers have gone through the Warring States Period, and now they start producing CPUs by themselves, so they don’t need to look at anyone’s face, at most they just look at how their competitors do, and then they can control the specific production and sales.But it’s different in the field of graphics cards. In the field of graphics cards, it was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and a large number of graphics card manufacturers were still at the level of children—just a few big players can get some investment, and then they can get a graphics card. Company out!They only need to make a graphics card chip in the laboratory, and then find a foundry manufacturer to stream the chips directly. If the yield rate is good, let the foundry manufacturer make a graphics card!

This model is of course suitable for small and medium-sized companies. This fabless-free factory model can reduce the initial capital pressure of investing in factories. Basically, it only needs to make samples, which can help small companies grow rapidly.However, the fabless model also has a disadvantage, that is, it is subject to the foundry - just like the current 3dfx, they have been looking for someone to do the foundry before, but now they think it is too disgusting to part with a part of the money, so they acquired A graphics card foundry in North America, and then started production by itself.And after they did this, it was directly a call to arms against other foundries!

For other foundry manufacturers, if graphics card manufacturers learn from 3dfx, wouldn't the business of these foundry manufacturers be much less?Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents!How will this OEM treat 3dfx?It's very simple, everyone immediately cut off the cooperation with 3dfx, and turned to Nvidia!Nvidia, a kid who has some signs of being able to compete with 3dfx for the market leader, is still very weak. At the same time, Nvidia’s executive CEO, Lao Huang, has promised various foundries that as long as he is still the leader, then It will definitely not end the fabless model, that is to say, it will always take care of everyone's business!And in this way, the OEMs are not only following the lead of Nvidia?

We must know that OEMs, they not only have a manufacturing channel, but they also have a huge number of marketing channels - just like ASUS, MSI and other OEMs, who doesn't have their own sales channels?After they help OEM to produce graphics card products, they can name their own brand and sell them through their own channels.But without their cooperation, graphics card manufacturers will have to rely on their own capabilities to sell graphics cards!

So after the OEMs have supported Nvidia, Nvidia's tnt2 graphics cards will obviously be distributed all over the world, and they don't even need Nvidia to pay for it. In order to sell the graphics cards, those OEMs will take the initiative themselves. Help spread the word!And what about the 3dfx on the other side?But at any time, you need to open up your own sales, and you need to advertise yourself!Although it is more profitable to make money by yourself, it is also much more difficult!

At such a time, Lianxiang Company, which once had a little "fate" with Jia Hongjian, has now reached a strategic partnership with 3dfx, which is about to collapse... How does this make Jia Hongjian complain?He really wanted to tell Liu Chuanzhi, brother, if you want to hug your thighs, you can also find thicker thighs that can stand longer, okay? 3dfx is about to cross the river with a mud bodhisattva, and you still go up and hug your thighs...why bother?

According to the content reported in this news, the so-called strategic partnership between Liu Chuanzhi's Lianxiang and 3dfx is not actually a multi-strategic cooperation-in fact, Lianxiang is the agent of the general distribution right of 3dfx graphics cards in China!In other words, Lianxiang has only become the general agent of 3dfx in China.Will such a general generation really have an easy life?Anyway, Jia Hongjian remembered that at this time in his previous life, when he went to the computer room to play games, the promotional boards in each computer room were - the tnt2 Xiaoyingba arrived in the computer room!Few people promote Voodoo 3!When the bosses in the computer room all use tnt2, isn't it obvious whether the Lianxiang agent is making money or losing money?
