Rebirth Turn of the Century

On Ginza Street, which is one and a half kilometers long, one footprint is the monthly salary of senior cabinet officials. Ginza is not only a place name, but also a status symbol. It is an extremely honorable thing to have your own shop in Ginza.

However, Zhao Song didn't feel any sense of glory—the rent was 200 yuan per square foot, which was 10% higher than the average price in Ginza.

"No wonder it's so easy to rent here, and they treat me as a co-author, right?"

Lawyer Tong shrugged and said helplessly: "Mr. Zhao, if the price is not used, they would be more willing to rent to a big international brand."

"What's the status of the other two for sale?"

"Bring a lease!" Lawyer Tong said, "If you decide to buy, you may have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages."

Zhao Song nodded, looked at the intermediary personnel in the island country in the distance, and then stared at the agency contract in front of him with an uncertain expression.

"Boss, stop thinking about it! This is the kingdom of electrical appliances! No foreign brand has ever been able to gain a foothold here. Even Apple can't do it." Fu Jian walked up and said worriedly.

Apple OK! It's just a few years later.

"Because this is the kingdom of electrical appliances, if we can succeed here, the advertising effect will be stronger than the best sales in Europe and the United States."

"But people here only recognize domestic brands!"

Zhao Song shook his head and said: "The island country's economy has been in decline for seven consecutive years, and a kind of otaku culture has gradually emerged here! They love the country, but they love the second dimension even more! And the second dimension is our breakthrough!!"

"What is the second dimension?" Fu Jianxing and Zhao Lei looked at Zhao Song in confusion.

Zhao Song smiled slightly, "I won't be able to explain it for a while, but you can take time to visit Akihabara in the past two days. It has gradually changed from a paradise of electrical appliances to a concentrated retro two-dimensional place."

After speaking, Zhao Song no longer hesitated, and signed his name seriously on the power of attorney.

In this way, the first step of Tesla's overseas strategy was officially launched in Tokyo, an island country.

…………..

Huaqing University, EDU Center.

Professor Zhou looked at the students who solemnly signed their names, and said softly: "Steel City, don't think about it anymore? You know, with your grades, you can definitely get offers from those big companies in the United States."

The student's name is Guo Gangcheng. At this time, he said with a smile: "Teacher, I stayed there as an exchange student for two years, and I have learned what I should learn. What is lacking now is practice."

Professor Zhou nodded, "Yes! This opportunity for Tesla is simply great!" Professor Zhou sighed: "Zhao Song did not go as far as Gao Luyuan, but started with basic chips. Best for both of us.”

Guo Gangcheng nodded, and then asked anxiously: "Even if it is a basic thing, the investment will not be reduced. Teacher, do you think Tesla can fulfill the promise according to the contract?"

"I don't know!" Professor Zhou shook his head, "Although I believe in Zhao Song, I don't know if he is mentally prepared for such a big investment."

"Then we can only hope that he succeeds!" Guo Gangcheng shrugged, looked at the thick personnel contract in front of him, and said, "Although the contract is a bit harsh for us, it also restricts Tesla a lot. As promised in the contract, we can terminate the contract at any time."

"Then I hope he succeeds!" Professor Zhou exclaimed, "Among these domestic enterprises, except Huawei in the south, there are not many companies with the courage of Tesla!"

"Dong dong~~" Professor Zhou had just finished speaking when there was a sudden knock on the door.

……….

On the Huaqing campus, Ding Tao walked towards the Huaqing EDU center in a leisurely manner.

In his hand, he tightly grasped a thick folder.

"CPU is the highest crystallization of human mathematics, physics, and chemistry research: Human beings can control the scale of matter to a width of 95nm, or a width of 200 atoms, according to their own will, and achieve mass production. This is absolutely human history. There is no one of the darkest black technology ever."

"If you want to design it, you need excellent talents in various disciplines such as database, graphics, graph theory and topological logic, computational mathematics, and optimization theory."

"The emergence of electronic design automation software EDA has completely solved this problem. Ding Tao and Professor Zhou are the only people we can find who can use this software proficiently."

Huaqing in autumn is beautiful, but Ding Tao is not in the mood to appreciate it. From time to time, what Zhao Song said to him resounds in his mind.

"Professor Zhou is very old, so old that those companies don't bother to ask him out, but he is exactly what we need at Tesla!"

"I will draw the route for him. It doesn't require him to have much innovative ability of young people. We start with the simplest PCB and edge chip-level design, step by step."

"We give him seven years, regardless of success or failure, treat him well! As for seven years later, if it succeeds, Tesla will be a big hit! If it fails, we will buy a house on our laurels."

"Anyway, at least we tried."

Yes, just do your best and be ashamed of yourself! Ding Tao tightly held the notebook in his hand, "It's just that this effort is too expensive."

Grinning, Ding Tao looked at the office door in front of him and knocked lightly.

"Boom~"

"Please come in."

"Professor Zhou, I'm Ding Tao, the manager of Tesla."

"We have met!" Professor Zhou stood up with a smile, and shook hands with him enthusiastically.

"Let me introduce to you," Professor Zhou said, pointing to his students, "At this time, Guo Gangcheng, my capable general, just signed your Tesla personnel contract."

"Hello!" Ding Tao shook hands with Guo Gangcheng politely before sitting down with Professor Zhou.

Taking out a sealed envelope from the information bag, Ding Tao handed it to Professor Zhou as if holding a rare treasure.

"Professor, here is the genuine authorization code of the EDA software!"

"That company?" Professor Zhou asked casually after taking the envelope.

"Mentor."

'I am familiar with it! ’Professor Zhou nodded secretly, and then asked with a smile: "Isn't it cheap?"

Ding Tao twitched the corner of his mouth, "Ten thousand TPOD shulles!"

"..." There was silence in the office. Because they presided over the design of TPOD, they knew the approximate profit. Such an authorization code is worth several million!

"Professor Zhou, what's left in the folder are some RISC-based IP cores urgently purchased by our partners in the United States."

"Oh?" Professor Zhou glanced at the excited Guo Gangcheng, and asked with a smile, "It's not cheap, is it?"

Ding Tao twitched the corner of his mouth again, "Almost 10,000 TPODs!"

"..."

Looking at the two people who were speechless, Ding Tao stood up, "Professor Zhou, the seventh floor of Wutong Building has been packed, and 5 small workstations and 10 high-performance computers assembled by ourselves have been moved there. The rest , it's up to you."

Professor Zhou nodded, "We'll be there in a while."

"That's good. Professor Zhou, I have something to do, so I'll go first. If you have any requirements, you can call me at any time."

"Manager Ding," Professor Zhou asked beside him, "May I ask, after the IC design is completed, where will the tape-out be handled?"

"Island country!" Ding Tao turned around and said, "My boss is right there now!"

………

October 2, 8:00 p.m., Tokyo.

After sending Fu Jianxing and Zhao Lei back to their rooms to rest, Zhao Song changed into the battle robes he had prepared earlier, sneaked out of the hotel, and came to a chain prescription not far away.

Facing the saleswoman from the island country with only 60 points of appearance, Zhao Song smiled and said in his half-baked island mandarin: "Please bring me a bottle of Bawei Dihuang Wan."

Bawei Dihuang Wan is not wrong. That's it over there.

What, it's still a chapter.
