Silicon Valley

v2 Chapter 314: Plan

In the afternoon, Henry came to Apple and saw Jobs at first sight. Jobs was wearing a black Armani shirt, LEVIS dark blue jeans and New Balance sneakers, and everyone around him was in suits and leather shoes! In Henry's impression, Jobs' dressing style is almost always like this, with black tops and blue jeans, with little change. But this can be seen from the side that Jobs is unusual. If you have to worry about what to eat or what to wear every day, your work efficiency will become lower!

Henry has never paid special attention to clothes, and it is ok to wear comfortable. However, he has a dedicated designer to design clothes for him, anyway, he has never considered what kind of clothes to wear.

"Hello, Mr. Jobs!" Henry walked forward with a hearty smile and greeted him.

"Hello, Mr. Williams!" Jobs looked at Henry, faintly feeling a strong aura covering him, confident? majesty? Domineering? It seems to have both.

After Henry greeted several high-level people around him, he took the lead and led everyone into the company.

After arriving in the office, when everyone was seated, Henry looked at Jobs and asked with a smile: "Mr. Jobs, what do you think of the MacBook and iMac I designed?"

"Masterpiece!!!" Jobs praised without hesitation, "It is simply the best design of this century, it is perfect!"

"Haha..." Henry chuckled lightly, and said faintly, "It's okay!" Xin said, if I design iPhone, iPad, and Apple version of the iPod, you still can't do it all?

Henry looked at Jobs, then glanced at the Apple executives around him, and exhorted: "Although these two products have good ideas, I don't want Apple products to become martyrs because they are poorly done!"

"Apple's products represent excellent quality!"

"Apple's products represent fashion trends!"

"Therefore, to describe it in Chinese. It means ‘if you don’t speak, you are a blockbuster"! In other words, if we don’t do it, if we do, we must make works that will shock the world!!!"

Bang bang bang! ! !

As soon as Henry finished speaking, everyone immediately clapped involuntarily.

Jobs' eyes flashed with excitement and excitement. What Henry said was too much to his appetite. This is what he wanted to do!

Subsequently. Henry chatted with them for a while about the future development of the company. Twenty minutes later, Henry was about to leave Apple. When he left, Henry patted Jobs on the shoulder and said earnestly: "I have never missed anyone, I hope you don't disappoint me!"

Steve Jobs nodded heavily. A genius who was aloof and placed equal emphasis on authority and wisdom trusted him so much. Jobs immediately felt that he was greatly encouraged, and his whole person was suddenly refreshed and full of confidence!

Ten years ago. Steve Jobs was young and frivolous, and could not be a world;

Ten years later, Jobs experienced setbacks and became mature.

After ten years, Jobs was reborn from the cocoon and turned into a butterfly! Henry now hires him as Apple's chief executive is the most suitable! Moreover, when Jobs returned to Apple, when he needed trust the most, Henry gave him trust, which undoubtedly made him feel so heartbroken and moved to die for his confidant!

Henry then went to Williams Electronics. Then transfer the iPod department to Apple.

Now that Henry is preparing to enter the computer industry aggressively, the importance of graphics cards is self-evident. In fact, Henry currently owns a graphics card company. This company is called 3dfx and was founded in 1994. It is a 3D graphics card production and manufacturing company co-founded by Silicon Graphics, DEC, ARM's MIPS company and other companies. Henry's holdings in this company have reached more than 65%. .

Henry was surprised when he first saw that Silicon Graphics was going to create 3dfx. Because Henry has already remembered what kind of company 3dfx is in his memory. 3dfx launched the first Voodoo graphics card, which soon dominated the 3d graphics card industry. Then came the Voodoo2 graphics card. Once the graphics card was released, it has reached the point of loneliness and defeat, basically monopolizing the entire 3D graphics card market!

The majesty of 3dfx is nothing short of one! ! !

However, after 3dfx's positioning was wrong, a lot of money was spent on acquiring graphics card production plants, which reduced the intensity of research and development, and was later surpassed by subsequent chasers, and was eventually acquired by NVIDIA graphics company.

However, with Henry in this world, the acquisition target should be exchanged!

NVIDIA was established in 1993. It is a graphics card company with fabless IC semiconductors focusing on designing intelligent core chipsets. Because there is only the design department, the expenditure is not large, and the funds are all used in the design of the chip. Therefore, NVIDIA has developed rapidly.

Computers need graphics cards, game consoles need graphics cards, and mobile phones will also need graphics cards in the future... Therefore, in order to reduce opponents and obtain the other's technology, 3dfx is also on the road to acquisition, one way to the black!

But before that, Henry decided to take back the shares of 3dfx from DEC in the United States. Not only that, Henry is also preparing to take over DEC directly.

DEC (American Digital Equipment Corporation) has approximately 130,000 employees and a market value of more than ten billion U.S. dollars. It is the largest computer manufacturing company in the United States second only to IBM. They also have excellent research/development departments and large-scale production. factory. However, from 1991 to 1994, DEC's losses exceeded 4 billion U.S. dollars! In order to make up for the large fiscal deficit, the company's CEO plans to sell all other parts of DEC that can be divided. Therefore, the global sale kicked off!

However, this time the big sale was taken over by Henry!

Williams Electronics acquired DEC's storage department that produces hard disk drives for US$400 million; Williams Networks acquired the database software R&D department for US$100 million.

However, what made Henry most valued DEC company was their Alpha architecture processor. This is a very good computer chip processor, and it is also the fastest processor among RISC processors. Its speed can make Intel's fastest x86. The processor is eclipsed! ! !

However, due to the error of DEC's development strategy, the product was not successfully promoted!

Later, Intel used a large number of Alpha processor patents in Pentium, Pentium Pro and Pentium II processors. However, DEC at this time was seriously ill, facing the wealthy Intel, in the end it could only take the money and agree to a settlement out of court...

However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

After DEC's demise ~lightnovelpub.net~ those talented engineers who went out in the architecture processor department became AMD!

AMD has always been the second in ten thousand years old. Compared with Intel, there is a big gap. But when AMD received several engineers from DEC's Alpha architecture, it immediately turned into a phoenix and launched k7 and k8 processors. , Directly counterattacked Intel, and successfully staged a grand feat of **~~Silk counterattack Gao Fushuai!

AMD has since risen, and Intel has never dared to despise it anymore!

Henry has already bought ARM and MIPS on the mobile processor to complete the layout, but on the PC, he still lacks a powerful weapon against Intel. Now, the target has emerged, that is DEC's Alpha architecture processor!

In 1995, Compaq would formally initiate an acquisition from DEC, and Henry could not wait any longer...
