1991 Starting from the core

Generally speaking, between two companies with disputes, the person who acts as the peacemaker is usually the capital involved in each party.

For example, in later generations, the story between two video websites, Youku and Tudou - when there was talk that the two parties were going to merge, both parties directly refuted the rumors and said, It's impossible, it's not happening, you are spreading rumors. But unexpectedly, the rumors soon became reality...

Another example is the battle between two taxi-hailing software that Su Yuanshan still remembers. In order to seize the domestic market, both parties went back and forth, throwing real money into it every day. At most, they could lose more than 40 million a day. Go... But in the end, the two companies ended up merging with the help of multiple capitals.

Of course, the situation between FarCore and Intel is different, because first of all, it is impossible for FarCore to merge with Intel, and Intel cannot merge with FarCore - even in the CPU field. Second, the two companies have no common capital.

But it doesn't mean that the two sides can't communicate.

As early as when USBIF was established, Su Yuanshan personally visited Mr. Andy and exchanged emails with each other. Moreover, Yuanxin at that time was far from the size it is now. His most dazzling identity was still the wholly-owned controlling shareholder of Xinghai.

Now, Xinghai is listed, and its stock price has nearly doubled from more than 80 when it was issued. Although with the release of Intel's new CPU, Xinghai's stock price has fallen back a little, but these are fluctuations under normal circumstances. After all, Xinghai is not a company. A company that only makes CPUs...but a young giant involved in many fields. Especially in the Internet and the increasingly important display core, it has a near-monopoly position.

In addition, both parties also have common friends. In other words, partners.

From the beginning of the establishment of Xinghai and Yuanxin, Su Yuanshan, whether out of respect or a little timid, never considered becoming a rival with Mr. Gates. Instead, he tried his best to compete with Microsoft on the Internet and other levels. Cooperation in multiple fields. Moreover, the two of them are both genius programmers, so they have a good relationship in private, and they often exchange holiday greetings via email.

Now that Microsoft is standing still, Su Yuanshan plans to send an email to Mr. Gates.

…

after one day.

Director Zhang's office.

In order to prepare for the next meeting, Director Zhang deliberately turned down a lot of work and specially arranged two hours during working hours. Originally, according to his personal relationship with Su Yuanshan, there was no need for the two of them to be so formal. They could just find a place to chat casually after get off work in the evening. But Su Yuanshan was in a hurry to go back, and he had some personal matters here, so they simply met at work.

Director Zhang is still very satisfied that Su Yuanshan never forgets to come to his place to chat when he comes to Shanghai this time.

At two fifty in the afternoon, Su Yuanshan and Wen Xiaoqian appeared at the door on time.

When Su Yuanshan saw that Director Zhang was already waiting for him in the reception area, he quickly stepped forward, shook hands and said, Hello, Director Zhang.

Director Zhang held Su Yuanshan in his hands and kept smiling. When he saw a young girl behind Su Yuanshan, he was slightly surprised. After thinking about it for a while, he asked: Where is Assistant Zhou?

In fact, it would be inappropriate to ask this in a formal setting, but Director Zhang wanted to be friends with Su Yuanshan. Secondly, he knew that Zhou Xiaohui had been with Su Yuanshan for a long time, and was the assistant to the chairman, and was a solid veteran and senior executive of Yuanxin. . And it was also heard that Zhou Xiaohui was the one who had been helping Su Yuanshan control overseas enterprises... That's why he stayed with Su Yuanshan at all times, even when meeting Director Zhang.

At this time, Zhou Xiaohui was not here, so Director Zhang naturally started to speculate a little more. Maybe Zhou Xiaohui started to take the lead.

Ms. Zhou is now responsible for the administrative affairs of the SAR R\u0026D center and industrial park. She is a little busy. Let me introduce to you, this is Wen Xiaoqian, just call me Xiaowen.

Wen Xiaoqian was too young, so she folded her hands and lowered her hands, bowed slightly to Director Zhang and smiled sweetly: Hello, Director Zhang, just call me Xiaowen.

Okay, please sit down.

After Secretary Chen made tea, Director Zhang looked at Su Yuanshan with burning eyes.

Although what Su Yuanshan said on the phone was a few words, he knew that this guy was busier than him all day long and obviously had no time to chat.

Moreover, Director Zhang is willing to listen even to small talk.

Because every time I see this guy, I always feel pure and young-like passion.

Director Zhang, our tape-out was successful. We had a celebration party yesterday. Su Yuanshan looked at Director Zhang with a smile: I didn't invite you because I was afraid that you would be busy.

Haha, congratulations first. Of course Director Zhang knew that Yuanxin was holding a celebration banquet last night, and the celebration party was very loud, but it seemed that Yuanxin had no intention of publicizing it to the outside world.

Hehe. Congratulations aside, the main problem is... we are not the most advanced this time. Su Yuanshan explained the recent affairs of Intel and the performance and indicators of Yuanxin's successful tape-out CPU in a way that Director Zhang could understand. The language was briefly discussed.

He knew that although Director Zhang came from a technical background and had some understanding of semiconductors, when it came to the specific field of CPU, especially related technical indicators, he really knew nothing about it.

When he heard Su Yuanshan say that if it weren't for Intel, Yuanxin's CPU would be the world's performance king, Director Zhang licked his lips suddenly, stared at Su Yuanshan and took a deep breath.

He has inspected the science and technology park and wafer factory several times. Of course he knows that Yuanxin is working on CPUs and that the technology is very advanced. But he never realized that this technology and design had advanced to the point where it was the first in the world.

This is the central processing unit, the brain of the computer!

Successful tapeout means that it can be mass-produced, right?

That's right. And the tape-out and mass production are all carried out in Deyuan - based on certain commercial principles, we have been doing it in secrecy before. Su Yuanshan chuckled: No, I will come to your place as soon as we succeed. I’m here…and I hope you can praise me!”

Director Zhang was startled and immediately understood what Su Yuanshan meant.

He immediately laughed: Okay, okay, you should be praised! And you should be praised vigorously! Xiao Chen!

Director Zhang was very dynamic and immediately turned to look at the secretary: Notify the Propaganda Department that the publicity machine is in action. It will be on TV stations and newspapers, and we are going to contact you for an interview - is the interview okay?

Su Yuanshan smiled and nodded: Well, it's okay, just interview Dr. Zhang and Gao Xiaodi. One of them is the president of the wafer fab, and the other is the head of the Yuanxin CPU team.

Secretary Chen quickly stood up and said with a smile: Haha, I know the two of them. We met at the Entrepreneurs Meeting at the end of last year.

Well, in addition, let's arrange a visit. Director Zhang's face was red and he was gearing up: I will go to the factory in person to express my condolences.

Su Yuanshan nodded again.

Director Zhang is really good at climbing the ladder!
