1991 Starting from the core

Meanwhile, Pandora Labs.

Xi Xiaoding, Tang Jun, and Chen Haoming gathered in Xi Xiaoding's office.

This was an "internal party" for their senior brothers, so no one else came to disturb them. Of course, Qin Weimin and Tian Yaoming had already taken Claude, Howard and others to the bar to chat.

That's right... Yuanxin also has a bar, and the business is pretty good - the reason why the bar is built in the park is entirely because "with the continuous deepening of reform and opening up, various new concepts, new ideas and new trends are constantly pouring in." In China, while arousing enthusiasm for construction, it also breeds illegal activities..." Nowadays, although bars are not a new thing, most of the people who hang out in bars all year round are idle members of society.

After several bar fights broke out in succession, especially after several Yuanxin employees were almost "killed" when they went to the bar, Su Yuanshan ordered a bar to be built in the park. If you really like the excitement, just live in the park. No. Need to run outside.

Why can’t a rich man sit down in the hall?

…

"When will you and Xiaosi get married?" Xi Xiaoding took out a box of Zhonghua from the drawer, handed it to Tang Jun and Chen Haoming with a smile, put the cigarette case on the coffee table, and asked Chen Haoming.

Chen Haoming just smiled: "Senior brother, why are you like my mother?"

Xi Xiaoding shrugged: "I don't like to answer, so I'll just ask casually."

"Uh... it's coming soon. I plan to get married when Xinghai or Star Venture Capital goes public." Chen Haoming lit it for Tang Jun first, then lit it for himself, took a sip, slowly blew out the smoke ring, and said with a smile: " She is doing great now. Star Venture Capital has a valuation of several billion dollars at least. Once it goes public, based on the shares given to her by Mr. Shan, she will become a decisive billionaire."

"Haha, are you wrong again?" Xi Xiaoding just smiled, but there was one thing he didn't point out - Star Venture Capital would not go public unless necessary.

There is a high probability that Star will become a huge private equity fund.

"Haha, the statuses are different. She is the CEO and I am the CTO. How can we compare?" Chen Haoming joked.

Tang Jun looked at the two of them with a smile, a trace of envy flashing in his eyes.

These two juniors are several years younger than me, but they are both CTOs now, and even Xi Xiaoding is the "more noble" chief scientist...

Although Su Yuanshan gave him very good conditions and a very high technical level, in the end he was still a little behind in terms of status.

But he had to be convinced, they were all veterans. Among them, Xi Xiaoding can be regarded as the most powerful boss who returned to China in 1991. Not only did he participate in the creation of Yuanxin, he also single-handedly created Xinghai.

"By the way, Senior Brother Tang, is DSP good or not?" Chen Haoming turned to Tang Jun and asked, "I heard from my neighbor that DSP is not something that ordinary people can do."

"Who is next door to you? They are right...but it depends on the situation." Tang Jun flicked the cigarette ashes: "Yuanxin has excellent design team disciples and mathematical talents. I only need to be responsible for the overall architecture and Just source code."

Hearing this, Chen Haoming stopped asking. Like Xi Xiaoding, he mainly specialized in programming. When it comes to work, I specialize in industry software.

He came here on behalf of Xinghai this time to comprehensively promote several industry software of Xinghai, as well as browsers and CC language development environments.

In Xinghai, things are going smoothly on the surface - well, in fact, everyone has no differences. But as a technology company, especially a technology company that walks on two legs: software and hardware, groups will naturally form.

Small groups are centered on various development teams, while large groups... are centered on direction. For example, although he is the CTO, he still represents all software teams in general.

And Carly represents the hardware team because of her background and some balance considerations.

In Xinghai, because of Su Yuanshan and Yang Yiwen's delicate relationship, even though Carly is strong, she is still relatively gentle towards the software department.

But after so many years in the West, Chen Haoming knows one truth - face is earned by oneself. If the software division on his side cannot produce results, then he will not only lose face, but also cause Xinghai to lose a leg. The more profound significance can even be said to be unable to restrict Carly.

——Although Su Yuanshan never explicitly said that he wanted him to restrain Carly, Qin Si analyzed it for him. Why push Chen Haoming, a newly graduated doctoral student, to the position of chief technology officer? In addition to Xi Xiaoding's relationship, it is more about the need to have "one of our own" sitting in a high position to ensure that Xinghai moves forward according to Su Yuanshan's established will.

After learning this, Chen Haoming felt a sudden increase in pressure.

You know, this year is a bumper year for the hardware department.

The continued popularity of Sony PS and the hot sales of VOODOO graphics cards have made today's GPU department expand greatly, and it has the power to compete with the Cyrix team.

Cyrix has also come up with the latest CPU, which has been sent to TI and is currently working on masks at the photomask factory. Although the progress of the new architecture is a little slower, as long as the tape-out is successful, it will be a big result. Can compete with the existence of Intel!

In addition, the communications department that Carly took charge of personally was also fruitful, with a good harvest of cordless phones and mobile phones, and she also helped Yuanxin sell several base stations in the Philippines.

With the development of hardware this year, Carly is already preparing for an IPO.

And if the software side is more powerful, Xinghai's IPO may set a record in Silicon Valley history.

Therefore, no matter from any aspect, Chen Haoming attaches great importance to this software exhibition.

…

After sending Davidson back to the hotel first, Su Yuanshan and Qin Si continued walking.

The sky had completely darkened. Su Yuanshan looked at the Pandora Laboratory hidden in the woods and suggested, "How about going to Senior Brother Xi's place? Senior Brother Chen should be there too."

"Well, let's stroll over."

Qin Si breathed out softly, put her hands behind her back, and walked slowly along the artificial lake. When the people around her gradually became fewer and fewer, she whispered: "What do you think of Carly's actions?"

"Do you mean IPO?"

"Well, actually according to my point of view, I think this is not the best time for Xinghai to go public..." Qin Si squinted and said softly: "The Internet is rising, and Xinghai's real competitiveness is actually in the old age. Chen’s side.”

Qin Si immediately smiled and explained: "I'm not giving support to Lao Chen, but I really think that Lao Chen's technology is the foundation of the Internet. Once the Internet takes off, Xinghai's stock value will definitely soar."

"Haha..." Su Yuanshan smiled without comment.

He knew that Qin Si was able to come to this conclusion entirely because of his influence and that he regarded the Internet as too important.

It's not her fault.

Qin Si looked at him.

"That's right, I agree with you. But you still underestimate the value of hardware, especially...GPU."
