Giant of the times

In fact, Li Zetian had expected that IBM would force Intel to cooperate with AMD, because no company will allow its supplier to have only one company. If the other party does something wrong, it will be seriously affected. . Therefore, it is necessary to find a spare tire.

As far as Intel is concerned, AMD comes from the same family as Intel, but its early technological capabilities are quite different. As long as Intel takes the lead step by step, AMD can only be reduced to the second place in the world, and it also solves the monopoly problem.

There is no way, monopoly is a big problem not only in the United States, but all over the world. Sometimes, in order to avoid antitrust investigations, you have to personally support a small company to compete with yourself. In previous lives, Intel couldn't help but lend a helping hand to AMD many times because of monopoly issues.

If this is the case, then accept it calmly and abide by the business laws of this world.

After this matter was dealt with, Li Zetian was mainly busy with the work of Flamingo Game Company and Galaxy Network Company. Sun Computer Systems Company had Jobs and Wozniak working together to manage it. With Jobs's perfect and demanding attitude, he worked with Wozniak. Level of technology, under their leadership, there won’t be much of a problem.

Yu Jingshan stayed in China for more than a month and finally successfully obtained the official documents and approvals for the establishment of Panda Hotel, Panda Fast Food Sino-foreign joint venture and Quanjude Co., Ltd.

Yu Jingshan finally breathed a sigh of relief and called Li Zetian and said, "Ah, after so long, the matter is finally settled! Quanjude has also reached a cooperation with Panda Catering Group and established Quanjude Co., Ltd., with Panda Catering Group holding shares 49%, the agreement stipulates that Quanjude Co., Ltd. authorizes Panda Catering Group to use Quanjude roast duck around the world, but Quanjude Co., Ltd. can enjoy part of the profits from it, which belongs to the secret recipe intellectual property authorization. Alas, this time, thanks to Mr. Deng’s help, it is necessary to Otherwise, I don’t know how long it will take. Oh, by the way, Zetian, Mr. Deng specifically asked me to ask you when you will go to China. He said that he really wants to meet you and listen to the dialogue between the world’s most outstanding Chinese geniuses. What do you think of China’s economic development?”

Mr. Deng particularly wants to see me?

Li Zetian felt a little excited and proud in his heart. No matter what his current status was, he was still Chinese. For such a great leader who led the Chinese people to the road of national prosperity, Li Zetian was full of admiration and respect in his heart.

He said: "I plan to go back to mainland China this year to celebrate the New Year. Firstly, I will have a long talk with him, and secondly, my father said that he wants to go back to his hometown to visit relatives and have a real reunion festival after so many years!"

Yu Jingshan nodded, "Well, yes, after so many years, it's time to return to my hometown. Thanks to Mr. Deng's efforts to set things right, many unjust and wrong cases have been vindicated. Your father and grandfather have also restored their reputations."

"Um."

Li Zetian nodded and then ended the call. Yu Jingshan was preparing to return to the United States. The business in China was handled by people from the company. At the same time, the head of Quanjude is also coming to the United States to instruct Panda Express chefs on how to make Quanjude roast duck.

Today's fast food chains are basically fried chicken. If Quanjude Roast Duck can be launched in the US market, it will definitely be a highlight and give KFC and McDonald's a heavy blow!

Li Zetian was a foodie, and he was thinking that when the head of Quanjude came, he would make him a roast duck.

The craftsmanship of the master of Quanjude is beyond comparison with ordinary masters!

The roast duck is slowly flipped and roasted in the oven to create a sweet and juicy crispy skin. When eating, it is rolled up in a small pancake and served with green onions and hoisin sauce or sweet noodle sauce. Ah! It’s so addictive…

Thinking about it, Li Zetian couldn't help but salivate.

Li Zetian couldn't help but hope that they could come to the United States soon, and then they would have good food to eat.

In the afternoon, Li Zetian went to the Flamingo Company. The Flamingo Family Game Console Development Department had already designed a plan.

After he got the design plan, he looked at it carefully.

Basic Information:

CPU: 6502 chip

CPU frequency: 1.8MHz

Number of CPU bits: 8 bits

The main memory is 2KB.

The display memory is also 2KB. One screen can display 64 characters. The character format is 8x8 or 8x16 pixels. A scan line can display up to 8 characters. Although this limit can be exceeded, it will cause the characters to flicker. The background can display a scroll with a screen resolution of 256x240.

There is a pseudo sound processor pAPU, and the pAPU is integrated on the 6502 chip. It has two almost identical rectangular wave channels, a triangle wave channel, a noise channel and an audio sample playback channel (DCM, delta modulation method). ). Among them, 3 analog channels are used to play musical sounds, 1 noise channel expresses special sound effects (explosions, gunfire, etc.), and the audio sampling playback channel can be used to express continuous background sounds.

The console has a reset switch, a power switch, a game card slot, two 2-button handles (game controllers) with cross direction keys, and "Select" and "Start" buttons on the main handle. There are power interface, RF radio frequency output interface, video image output interface, and audio output interface on the back of the host. There is also an expansion port on the front for connecting external devices such as ray guns and additional repeating handles.

The more Li Zetian looked at it, the more he felt that this Flamingo game console looked like Nintendo's FC red and white console.

"Who are the designers of this home game console?" Li Zetian asked Nolan Bushnell. The company has now grown to thousands of people, and it is impossible for Li Zetian to remember everyone.

Nolan Bushnell talked about a list in which he mentioned a man named "Gunpei Yokoi" and praised him very much.

"Gunpei Yokoi was originally an employee of Nintendo. When Sunbird established a branch in RB, it poached people from many RB game companies. Gunpei Yokoi was also poached to Sunbird at that time. I think he is a talent. , therefore, I persuaded him to leave his job and join the Flamingo Company, and he completed the main design of the Flamingo home game console."

Li Zetian smiled awkwardly. He didn't know what kind of talents his company had. It was really embarrassing.

Gunpei Yokoi is an outstanding person. In his previous life, he served as the head of Nintendo's first development department and made great contributions to Nintendo's hegemony. He presided over the development and design of Game-Watch, FC Famicom, Game-Boy and other products. However, this man died early in a car accident. Li Zetian only heard about his experience and never saw his appearance. Therefore, even if they met in the company, Li Zetian did not know that he was Yokoi Gunpei.

Now that there is Gunpei Yokoi in the company, will there be another great Nintendo figure?

Li Zetian suddenly asked: "Bushnell, is there a person named Shigeru Miyamoto in the company?"

Nolan Bushnell nodded, "There is this person. He is now studying with Gunpei Yokoi. He is very passionate about games. He is a good prospect!"

More than just a good seedling? ! He is obviously a seedling with great potential!

The corners of Li Zetian's mouth rose slightly, and he felt a little excited.

The authoritative magazine selected the ten most outstanding game designers in the world. Shigeru Miyamoto ranked first. He has created myths one after another for Nintendo and RB gaming circles. His representative works include: "Super Mario", "Donkey Kong", "Cer" "The Legend of Erda", "Pikmin" and so on.

Li Zetian said: "Yokoi Gunpei and Miyamoto Shigeru will be entrusted with important responsibilities in the future, especially Miyamoto Shigeru. I think he has great development potential and may become the backbone of Flamingo Company in the future."

Nolan Bushnell was very shocked. That’s it for Gunpei Yokoi. He is indeed very good and deserves to be reused, but Shigeru Miyamoto? He only entered the game industry in 1977, which is too young compared to other designers.

Li Zetian smiled and said: "Some people just lack an opportunity to set up a sixth game development team with Shigeru Miyamoto as the team leader. Let's wait and see if he can surprise us!!!"
