1991 Starting from the core

After hanging up the phone, not to mention Su Yuanshan, even Ye Rudai became awake and no longer sleepy.

She stood up and poured a glass of water for Su Yuanshan, then handed the notebook to Su Yuanshan: "Just keep it on my computer, don't bother Xiaoqian."

"Oh, no need." Su Yuanshan shook his head after thinking for a while, put down his phone, put his hands behind his head, and looked into the void ahead.

"Dai'er, let's not consider what Intel is going to do. Let's first consider what is the reason and what force prompted it to contact us." Su Yuanshan tilted his head and looked at his wife and asked with a smile.

Ye Rudai was sitting on the edge of the bed. Seeing that Su Yuanshan did not pick up the water glass, she took a sip and said, "Capital?"

"It stands to reason that it is capital..." Su Yuanshan nodded slightly, but then shook his head immediately: "But if it is capital, you should first contact both parties to find out their attitudes. This is not like the style of capital - Capital is not so reckless.”

But Ye Rudai immediately raised objections: "How come capital is not reckless? I think it is very reckless - otherwise, it would not have stumbled so deeply in the past two years."

"Eh? You have great vision, classmate Ye!" Su Yuanshan glanced at his wife, then smiled and shook his head: "You confuse capital confidence with recklessness."

"It is true that overconfidence sometimes behaves the same as recklessness, but there is an essential difference between the two - the former thinks that one has the power, while the latter does not care whether one has the power at all..."

"How big of a difference?"

"It's a big difference, classmate!" Su Yuanshan laughed: "In the past two years, capital thought that it understood the development of technology and could keep up with the vision and pace of our group... This is a typical case of overconfidence. . To put it bluntly, the Internet is what we, the technical geniuses, give to capital..."

Ye Rudai: "...Virtue!"

"Haha, okay, let's not go too far. And I don't think it is the opinion of capital. There is another important reason - Intel is no longer a company that capital can control. Or, it itself is capital."

Su Yuanshan looked at his wife and winked provocatively: "Tell me, who can influence Yuan Xin's will?"

"...Then you are talking nonsense."

"...Yes! So let's just not think about it. Anyway, we have been pretending to be a grandson for so long, and finally we are able to put it to the sword. Let it have any attitude or any evil ideas, and refuse to recognize it! Go to sleep!"

…

But despite this, Su Yuanshan still couldn't continue to sleep. After all, it was almost four o'clock now, and he couldn't sleep for a while. In addition, he was a little hungry after all the fuss, so he simply got up and planned to sneak around the restaurant, but unexpectedly, he was caught as soon as he came downstairs. The housekeeper who woke up stopped him...

Well, the big boss was hungry, so the housekeeper simply woke up the Filipino maid and made omelette noodles for the two of them and brought them upstairs.

While sucking the noodles, Su Yuanshan sighed: "This is the life of a capitalist... If you want to eat in the middle of the night, someone will cook it."

"...Keep it down, I just heard mom cough twice, don't wake her up - well, don't wake up the jelly beans."

Su Yuanshan didn't mind, and said cheerfully: "Wake up when you wake up, and let her eat noodles with her father."

“…Virtue.”

After the two of them finished their breakfast, they naturally couldn't lie down anymore, so they simply turned on their computers.

Su Yuanshan is currently on a business trip. He doesn't have much work to begin with, and even in normal times, his work relies heavily on the daily briefings from the "Mountain Office". Therefore, when he turns on the computer, he doesn't have any official business to deal with. He can only open a paper to chat. To comfort.

But just as he was getting ready to read, he was suddenly startled. Then he grabbed his cell phone and dialed Chen Jing back.

Silicon Valley.

Chen Jing is trying on clothes with the help of An Siying.

After receiving an invitation from Intel, she naturally wanted to go there - they are all in the technology circle, and everyone looks up but never looks down. No matter how fierce the fight is, she still has to work hard to save face.

But as Su Yuanshan said, now Yuanxin has made a decision and the battle has begun. In the second half of this year, all "diplomatic" business will be placed in the field of PC processors. It can be said that the arrow is on the string and has to be launched - not to mention that Intel is now coming to the door. , even if the King of Heaven comes to visit, Yuan Xin will not be able to change his mind easily.

Don’t forget, PCI-E was created by a top P13 engineer from Yuanxin who led a team of dozens of people for three years of hard work. The salary cost alone has been sky-high over the past three years...not to mention the new industrial chain involved.

Therefore, Chen Jing's belief is extremely firm.

The phone rings.

"Sister Jing, something suddenly occurred to me."

On the phone, Su Yuanshan's voice did not sound sleepy at all.

"What's up?"

"Although we are not afraid of Intel, if we can get Intel's trump card, we will definitely be more proactive."

After a pause, Su Yuanshan continued: "According to my understanding of Barrett, this old man... is much more difficult to deal with than Andy. In comparison, I would actually rather you face Andy... Well, Andy probably won't come forward. After all, he has already withdrawn, so coming out to see me is okay, but coming out to see you is really illogical."

"Then what?"

"Then, do you know how Intel managed to transform its processors under the attack of Niguo Semiconductor?"

"Is it Barrett?"

"Yes! Barrett, this man is so capable. He also has a tough character and extraordinary perseverance. After he took over as Intel's CEO, he has been able to withstand the offensives of our companies in the past few years, which is evident from this."

"Yeah." Chen Jing hummed. Yuanxin certainly has evaluations and summaries for the leaders of various technology companies.

"So, you must pay attention. This old man uses retreat to advance and deceives us first."

Hearing this, Chen Jing was slightly startled.

"Fooling?"

"Yes! Fooling! The big guys at Intel, if they are big guys like Andy and Moore, their pride and temper will definitely not allow them to do such a thing. Of course... Noyce will not be able to do it. .”

Chen Jing smiled slightly when she heard this. She knew that Su Yuanshan admired Noyes very much and even went to Noyes's cemetery to pay homage.

"But if it were Barrett, he would be able to do this kind of thing - as long as he stops or resolves our consensus, considering Intel's background, it will only take a minute for them to stand up or defeat us. thing."

Chen Jing frowned slightly, pondered for a few seconds and then nodded slowly: "Well, I understand. I will pay attention to observation and analysis."

after one day.

Chen Jing's car drove towards the Intel gate.

Early on, the gray-haired Barrett was waiting at the door with his entourage.

After Chen Jing got out of the car, Barrett bowed slightly to her gracefully and led her to the steps like a gentleman. Afterwards, the two turned around at the same time, shook hands, and took photos for the media.

After all, this is the first official meeting between the leaders of Yuanxin and Intel, two of the most powerful technology companies in the East and the West. Whether it is Silicon Valley or the entire technology circle, it is a major event worth writing about.

This also shows that in Silicon Valley, subconsciously, people have already accepted that Yuanxin is a technology company with the same strength and status as giants like Intel.

After entering the headquarters building, Chen Jing kept a professional smile and listened carefully to Barrett's greetings and chats.

Until... both parties officially entered the conference room.

As an "invited" party, Chen Jing will certainly not take the lead in dominating the topic. But judging from her many years of experience, Barrett gave herself this kind of "business negotiation" as soon as she came up. It was obvious that she didn't intend for her to just have a "small talk".

Sure enough, after a brief greeting, Barrett looked at Chen Jing with a smile: "Ms. Chen, in the past few years, although there has been competition between us, we have also always cooperated."

"And we have always believed that good competition and necessary cooperation are the best models to promote the progress of the entire industry and technology."

Chen Jing smiled and nodded - well... this is a good opening, showing that Intel is not here to fight. However, after saying this, there is often a "but" at the end.

Sure enough, Barrett then said: "However, Yuanxin's recent series of actions make me feel that you are breaking the existing model and tacit understanding..."

Chen Jing smiled slightly: "Mr. Barrett, we don't think we are breaking this pattern. We even think that Intel is the first to break the tacit understanding."

As soon as this statement came out, the faces of everyone at Intel changed without leaving any trace.

Barrett was unmoved, smiled and shook his head: "No, we have been developing technology and markets according to existing strategies."

"Then why, when we proposed to cooperate with you on the third-generation I/O specification, you refused directly?" Chen Jing immediately asked.

Seeing Chen Jing's sharp tongue, Barrett did not show any weakness and immediately said: "Because the cooperation you proposed did not provide specific technologies, routes and methods. On the contrary, we have been prepared for it."

"But the fact is that our technology is faster." Chen Jing looked at the other party and said in a very firm tone: "Furthermore, Yuanxin believes that the tacit understanding between us should be to promote the advancement of computer technology, rather than who leads this technology. .”

Chen Jing did not give Intel people time to think or refute, and continued: "For example, after we determined that the X86 architecture was the best architecture in the field of personal consumer PCs, we joined in without hesitation. And we are very happy to accept the technical specifications specified by Intel and the direction you lead."

"In this sense, you are our teachers."

As soon as these words were spoken, the tension that had risen slightly before dissipated.

Intel has been a "copycat" for so many years, and it has long ago not cared about its status as a "teacher". Instead, it is very angry that the market is being eroded by a bunch of thieves...

But, it depends on the situation!

In this situation, to be praised as a teacher, and for an outstanding rising star like Yuan Xin, I felt comfortable no matter what.

There was only a Chinese engineer opposite, looking at Chen Jing with interest - he was probably going to say something like "I love my teacher, but I love the truth even more" later, right?

Sure enough, Chen Jing smiled slightly: "But now we see that the teacher is stagnant in technology, and even prevents us students from innovating in technology... Of course we feel a little disappointed."

"So, Mr. Barrett, it's you who break the tacit understanding."

Barrett's expression finally became a little unbearable. He exhaled softly, but in the end he still maintained his demeanor and smiled slightly.

"Ms. Chen, let's not talk about this for now. What we need to do now is to see if we can re-form a consensus."

"okay."

Chen Jing smiled and nodded directly.

Three hours later, the content of Chen Jing's meeting with Intel was directly placed on Su Yuanshan's desktop.

"It seems that Intel is really a little timid." Su Yuanshan put the phone on speakerphone and laughed at Chen Jing on the other end of the phone: "Well done, Sister Jing!"

"Don't be too complacent. We haven't completely broken up yet... Many technologies in PCI-E come from the foundation laid by Intel. If Intel is shameless, we will still face patent troubles." During the phone call , Chen Jing was very calm.

"Well, well! But that doesn't matter! What matters is that we made them feel a sense of crisis."

Su Yuanshan sighed, feeling extremely happy.

Although he has judged that Intel wants to use a delaying tactic to let FarCore delay PCI-E - there are too many ways, such as Intel announcing that it will join the PCI-E specification group and putting forward new opinions, or Intel directly coming up with Integrate some of the better technologies or solutions... In short, as long as it can stop the wave of high-speed CPU + high-speed interface + high-speed equipment combination of Yuanxin, Intel can calmly stand on the throne.

But judgment is always subjective and cannot be determined.

Intel's "admittance" now means that it is really scared. It really believes that Yuanxin's combination of punches can threaten its life and status!

This is the difference between you thinking you are strong and your opponent thinking you are strong.

How could this not make Su Yuanshan happy?

"Then how to talk about the follow-up? My attitude is that we can talk about anything... After all, everyone is watching us."

"Well, yes, the path Yuanxin has taken from the beginning to the end has not been to bully others when they are strong. Instead, it has taken the broad road of making money together. You must be able to talk about anything! You can cooperate in everything! This posture shows That's great!" Su Yuanshan smiled hurriedly: "But now, our swords have been raised. If we have to save people under the sword, Intel will have to bleed."

"What's going to bleed?"

"I don't know... I haven't thought about it yet. And Sister Jing, you must remind me not to get carried away. Anyone who dares to underestimate Intel will die without knowing how."

Chen Jing: "...then think about it carefully. I'm going to have dinner, and I also need to prepare to meet Mr. Sanders tomorrow."

"Yeah, okay! By the way!" Su Yuanshan blinked and laughed, "You can ask Sanders for advice!"

"...I won't bullshit you anymore."

After hanging up the phone, Su Yuanshan laughed continuously for a long time before slowly calming down.
