For the Shenzhen hotel project, Li Zetian handed it over to his father-in-law, Yu Jingshan.

He himself is mainly responsible for the construction of the ant factory.

Flamingo's game console will be developed in just a few months. With the power of the Flamingo game console and the classic level of the game, there is no doubt that it will be popular all over the world. A steady stream of game consoles, gamepads, game cassettes, light guns, keyboards, and more.

The Ant Factory currently has 200,000 square meters and covers a large area, and the Flamingo Company may not be able to use so much space. Li Zetian intends to divide the Ant Factory into multiple areas, Flamingo Company into one area, Sun Computer System Company into one area, Galaxy Network Company into one area, Netflix Company into one area... Obviously, after the development, The 200,000-square-meter ant factory is not enough, and the factory needs to be expanded!

At present, many research and development products are almost successful, and the construction of the ant factory is imminent.

Building plants, buying equipment, recruiting and training staff, etc., there is a lot to do.

Of course, Li Zetian doesn't do everything personally. The group company is so big, and it's enough to transfer some employees to take charge of the ant factory.

On March 7, Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu returned to the United States.

At this moment, Michael Jackson's album has set off a boom in the United States, and the sales are amazing. From the release of the album on March 1 to the present, in just one week, the "Thriller" album has sold 2.05 million copies, shocking major record companies. .

Almost every major entertainment newspaper in the United States is covering Michael Jackson.

"The Hollywood Journal": "Thriller is Violet Records' first album for Michael Jackson, and when it came out, it immediately swept other American record albums and topped the charts!"

Los Angeles Daily: "Violet Records Achieves Impressive Results, Michael Jackson's New Album 'Thriller' is a Big Success!"

CNN TV: "The three most popular songs in "Thriller" were written by Chronos Li, which shows that Chronos Li's musical talent is unparalleled. It is said that 10 songs on his wife's album are also written by him. Written, are these 10 songs on the same level as the three songs on the Thriller album? If so, that's horrific!"

"… "

During this time, the various Netflix rental and sales stores across the United States are always overcrowded, and their turnover has increased significantly. Although many people came to buy Michael Jackson's new album, but they all came, don't they buy or rent some tapes to go back and watch

Popular products can bring users into the store, thereby promoting the business of the store. Whether it's a brick-and-mortar store or an online store, the truth is the same.

Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu got off the plane, because they went to Violet Records first on the way, Li Xueyu was very excited when he saw the two of them, "Mr. and Mrs. Li, "Thriller" is too popular, Violet Records is a hit And red!"

"What are you excited about, it's nothing!" Li Zetian laughed. "When the production of Michael Jackson's MV is completed, it will be a fire! Is Jackson shooting the MV now?"

"Yes." Li Xueyu nodded.

"Come on, let's go and see!"

Li Zetian and a group of people went to the MV shooting studio. At this moment, Jackson was filming "Billie Jean". He was singing and dancing on the stage. The magical dance moves made Li Zetian's blood surge, and even his body couldn't help but move with the rhythm. stand up.

I'm going, as for who is the best at dancing, I don't support the wall and only obey Jackson! ! !

Li Zetian was amazed, the live version was ten times stronger than the one seen on TV!

Everyone present was shocked.

After the filming of the MV, the crowd clapped and applauded involuntarily.

At this time, Jackson found Li Zetian and others coming, and immediately came over to say hello.

Li Zetian nodded and praised: "The dance is very good, Jackson! After the MV of this song is filmed, it will be sent to MTV to broadcast! Try to expose it on MTV, the higher your popularity, the more the record will be sold. more!"

With Jackson's MV, the development of the MTV network will be accelerated!

"Yeah." Jackson nodded.

"Okay, go ahead, I won't bother you anymore."

Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu smiled and said goodbye to them.

When he got home, around three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Zetian made a cup of coffee, sat on a chair on the balcony blowing the wind, rested while reading the latest magazines. At this time, he noticed an article: "In early January 1980, two scholars, Patterson and Ditzel, published a seminal paper entitled "Reduced Instruction Set Computer Overview", which comprehensively proposed the design idea of reduced instruction set. Then, a graduate student from the University of Berkeley designed the first reduced instruction set processor RISC-I based on this theoretical basis. This processor is much simpler than the now popular CISC processor. The effort spent is also much reduced, but its overall functional performance is comparable to that of the CISC processor. Since then, the processor design direction has developed towards these two major directions, one is the CISC complex instruction set processor , one is a RISC reduced instruction set processor!"

Seeing this, Li Zetian couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

In the previous life, the most famous CISC complex instruction set processor company was Intel, and the most famous RISC reduced instruction set processor company was ARM. The x86 processor represented by Intel occupies more than 90% of the personal computer market, and the RISC products represented by ARM also occupy more than 90% of the mobile market.

Compared with CISC, the powerful charm of RISC on high-performance computers makes users and the industry fascinated by it! For example, the graphics workstation of SGI Silicon Graphics in the previous life is based on MIPS and has superior speed; IBM's Power series is the first choice for supercomputers; and DEC's Alpha architecture processor is the representative work of RISC.

Sun Computer Systems also developed a graphics workstation, and RISC processor is the best choice! ! !

Intel's x86 architecture is based on CISC, which has many problems in itself. Both efficiency and development direction are problems. Its performance has never been able to catch up with the top RISC processors. Therefore, Intel in the previous life has not been able to put it into practice for a long time. Reach out to the most fertile server and supercomputer markets. However, after studying RISC with great concentration, Intel began to boldly introduce the design ideas of RISC into the CISC-based x86, adding some additional "translation layers". The outside of the CPU is still x86, but the internal operation is more similar to the streamlined RISC, so the CPU performance has been greatly improved, and the process of counterattack has been completed. Subsequently, x86 began to shine in the server market, and even began to occupy most of the market share, achieving the myth of CISC defeating RISC. However, in the mobile computing market, Intel has been unable to replicate such a myth. The high-performance market is not sensitive to power consumption, and performance is the most important indicator. Intel can use its strong R&D capabilities to threaten its opponents and win. But the mobile computing market is extremely power-sensitive, and Intel has tried several times to enter without success. ARM has blossomed everywhere in this field. From mobile phones to tablet computers, ARM has repeatedly succeeded with its ultra-high performance-to-power ratio...

At this time, Li Zetian threw the magazine on the table, then stood up, walked quickly into the room, and picked up the phone...

PS: I’m a little tired today. This chapter has 2500 words. Although only 4 chapters have been updated today, it has 12000 words. I still owe one chapter, I will make it up tomorrow. By the way, the monthly pass has 1053 votes, and 1200 has to add another one. Let's vote wildly! In addition, the recommended tickets do not stop, do not stop! ! !
