Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 910 Exchange of Interests 1

Bao Zixuan understood what Old Moore meant, but could he refuse at this time? It is estimated that it is very important for Heiyun to get the support of Intel for the auxiliary root server.

This is a critical period, and it may be Heiyun's only chance to obtain the auxiliary root server. On the one hand, the time for Xiangjiang to return to the Chinese mainland is getting closer, and on the other hand, the Heiyun Group is growing. It's just that at this time, Black Cloud is leading in many fields. Without multi-protocol routers and super optical fiber transmission technology, the Americans' hope of upgrading ARPANET will be very slim. There will definitely be a dark cloud, and it can only happen at this time.

The Soviet Union's military oppression and Japan's economic pressure on the United States. As a result, Heiyun is not the main target. If this opportunity is lost, the Americans will never put the auxiliary root server at Xiangjiang Yulin Institute of Technology in the future.

Bao Zixuan: "Heiyun Computer has begun to develop the next generation of industrial computers, but the existing chips cannot meet the requirements. If Intel can provide some help, of course it is welcome."

Hearing Bao Zixuan's kindness, Gordon Moore understood what it meant. This guy must be asking for something, otherwise he wouldn't be so easy to talk to.

Gordon Moore: "What a coincidence. Intel is also developing a new generation of CPUs. It seems that our cooperation will be very pleasant."

"What are the requirements from Black Cloud, or what do you want Intel to do? There is no free lunch in the world. Although we are all engineers, we are also businessmen."

Bao Zixuan didn't expect Old Moore to be so direct. It seemed that this old boy was really talking about business. So he said with a smile: "This upgrade of ARPANET will definitely face the choice of server storage location. Black Cloud will support Intel CPU, and I hope Intel can provide convenience in the auxiliary root server."

Hearing that Bao Zixuan wanted to get an auxiliary root server, Gordon Moore immediately understood what he meant. The main root server will definitely be in the United States, and the ARPANET upgrade will be available to the whole world. It is normal to establish auxiliary root servers on other continents, otherwise data transmission will definitely be affected, and putting all data in one place for centralized processing will greatly reduce the speed of information transmission.

Gordon Moore thought about it and said: "Heiyun Group has the world's most advanced industrial computers, multi-protocol routers, and optical fiber transmission technology; it is reasonable to get a secondary root server, at least Intel will not object."

This guarantee is enough. After all, this is the first time the two parties have contacted each other. As long as Intel doesn't do bad things, Bao Zixuan's hope of getting a auxiliary root server will be much greater.

The chat between the two people has been watched by one person, and that is Robert Calvin, the head of Motorola.

As an American communications and chip giant, it is normal to be invited. It's just that Calvin is not an engineer in the traditional sense, so it is a bit difficult to communicate with others.

Professors and laboratory directors from major universities in the United States all know that it is here for the upgrade of ARPANET, and they will definitely talk about some professional knowledge together. Of course there was some performance involved, and President Reagan was right there.

Gordon Moore is definitely an engineer, and he is also a technical master. I have discussed these issues with many people before, and as for Robert Calvin, he was not even remotely bad in this regard.

He had seen Bao Zixuan's arrival a long time ago, and the previous gift to Nancy Reagan had subverted previous perceptions. It seems that this boy has matured a lot, at least he is no worse than these old guys in dealing with others.

As for chatting with Harry Rowland and his wife, Robert Calvin didn't care. Communication between teachers and students is normal and is a matter of basic courtesy.

Until Gordon Moore's appearance made Robert Calvin feel a hint of conspiracy, why did Mrs. Moore choose to chat with Harry Rowland's wife. There are no such coincidences in the world, this must be what Old Moore meant.

Seeing Lao Moore chatting with Bao Zixuan, Robert Calvin even more confirmed his previous guess. And seeing the smile on Old Moore's face after his plan was successful, he knew that the two must have reached an agreement.

Heiyun Group has a broad industrial chain, but Intel focuses on CPU R\u0026D and production. You don't need to think about it to know that Old Moore definitely hopes to sell the CPU to Bao Zixuan. That is taking meat from Motorola's mouth, and he must not let the old guy get his wish.

Maybe I didn't care much before, but now it's different. Motorola's financial report cannot deceive anyone, and the chip field has become the company's core business. All this is because of the Heiyun Group. If orders from Heiyun are lost, the Motorola chip factory can directly announce its closure.

At the same time, Robert Galvin understands that Intel's investment in the CPU field is several times that of Motorola. It must be better than Motorola in terms of performance, and Moore is the absolute authority in the field of integrated circuits; he has a strong appeal, but at this time everything is developing in a direction that is not conducive to Motorola.

Robert Calvin knew that he couldn't just wait here. Passive acceptance was not his character.

He picked up the wine glass and walked up to the two of them, smiling at the same time and saying: "What are you two talking about! So happy, Mr. Moore, long time no see."

To talk about the people that Old Moore least expected to see at this time, Motorola head Robert Calvin must be among them. Basically, they had reached an agreement with Bao Zixuan, and now this guy crossed the line. Then things may change, although Heiyun agrees to consider using Intel chips when developing new industrial computers. But after all, the contract has not been signed yet, and everything is still uncertain.

We are all people with status, and we still have to do a good job on the surface.

Gordon Moore: "Hello, Mr. Calvin! Mr. Bao and I are discussing the upgrade of ARPANET, which requires strong technical knowledge. Many people can't easily understand it. I hope you can forgive me."

What does this mean? It's not that he doesn't understand technology. But Robert Calvin couldn't say much at this time, after all, the facts were right in front of him. Needless to say, Bao Zixuan, as a picture award winner, is an absolute authority in the computer field. As for Old Moore, he is the proposer of Moore's Law and is like a grandfather in the field of integrated circuits.

Now two people are discussing technical knowledge, and it is normal for others not to understand. But it is not Robert Calvin's character to give in and admit defeat, and it is not in line with Motorola's corporate culture. At this time, my mind was full of thinking about how to move back into the first round, and I couldn't let the traitor Gordon Moore see the joke.

Calling Gordon Moore a traitor or rebellious has a deep historical origin, at least Americans; including those in the world's semiconductor industry, still recognize this term.

The story begins in 1940, when William Shockley and his colleagues co-invented the transistor at Bell Labs. However, Shockley had a dream of becoming a rich man in his heart, but he could not realize this dream at Bell Labs, so he decided to return to his hometown of Santa Clara Valley (later Silicon Valley) to start his own company.

Then he began recruiting top engineers across the country. Attracted by Shockley's aura as the "Father of the Transistor", application letters from elites in the field of American electronics research poured in.

By 1956, he had hired eight outstanding talents, namely Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore, Julius Blanc, Eugene Clare, Kim Hurney, Jay La St, Sheldon Roberts and Victor Greenick.

This is an unprecedented combination of great talent, all under the age of 30 and at the peak of their talent. Everyone came here because of the reputation, eager to do something big; Shockley began to officially operate his company.

Also in 1956, Shockley was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. Everyone was very excited because which company was led by a Nobel Prize winner?

They feel they are on the verge of changing the world. It's a pity that the joy is short-lived. Although Shockley was a genius inventor, he knew nothing about business management or even the ability to deal with people, but he was very self-righteous. Shockley once said that one in 10 people is mentally ill. So, he thinks there are two psychopaths working for him in the company now.

For this reason, he required all employees to undergo psychological testing. He didn't trust anyone; Shockley always talked to people like he was a child, and his attitude became increasingly arrogant. His disciples proposed studying integrated circuits, but Shockley rejected their suggestions. By 1957, the second year after the company was founded, his eight talented employees couldn't stand him and no longer wanted to work with Shockley. In November, eight people resigned collectively. Shockley was furious and called them the "eight rebels." This has become one of the most famous allusions in Silicon Valley.

Although leaving is to pursue one's own ideals, in the eyes of a rich second generation like Robert Calvin. They are all unscrupulous traitors. Although Gordon Moore has actually proven that leaving is the right thing to do, the old companies still have great opinions on them.

Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Bao Zixuan quickly said: "Robert, I have been looking for you for a long time when I came here. I just haven't seen anyone. Last time I heard a Motorola employee said that he often goes to Hollywood recently. Is that true?"

Hearing Bao Zixuan's name and half-joking words. Robert Galvin didn't have an incident on the spot, otherwise Gordon Moore would be left with nothing to eat.
