Chips are one of the core industries in the future. All electronic products are inseparable from chips. Its importance is self-evident!
At 9 am the next day, Li Zetian came to Intel Corporation.
He made a phone call yesterday and asked for a high-level meeting of the company.
The participants have all arrived, Li Zetian came to the conference room, and everyone stood up.
Li Zetian nodded to them, then walked to the first place and sat down.
"This meeting is very important and is related to the future of Intel Corporation!" he said solemnly, "Everyone must know the RISC reduced instruction set, right?"
Wei Xiuping, Intel's top engineer, nodded and said: "Yes, we have done research on it. This design idea of the RISC reduced instruction set simplifies the number of instructions and addressing methods, making it easier to implement, and instructions are executed in parallel. The level is better, the compiler is more efficient, and the average execution cycle of the instruction is reduced, thereby increasing the working frequency of the computer!"
Intel CEO Andy Grove said: "However, RISC technology has just emerged. Since the birth of computers, people have been using the CISC instruction set method. The CISC computer has a relatively rich instruction system, and there are special instructions to complete specific instructions. Therefore, it is more efficient to deal with special tasks. Moreover, RISC programs generally require a large memory space, and the programs are complex and difficult to design when implementing special functions; while CISC assembly language programming is relatively simple, and scientific computing and complex operation programming is relatively simple. Easy and efficient!"
Li Zetian nodded and concluded: "The difference between CISC and RISC lies in the design concepts and methods of different CPUs. It can be said that each has its own advantages! RISC has made great achievements in the field of high-performance computers, while CISC has made great achievements in the field of ordinary personal computers. , The CPU based on the RISC architecture contains fewer unit circuits, so the area is small and the power consumption is low. Therefore, RISC has huge development potential in low-power electronic products!"
Andy Grove asked: "Mr. Li, do you mean to let Intel Corporation develop RISC processors?"
"Yes," Li Zetian nodded and said, "Intel has established a wholly-owned subsidiary to develop RISC reduced instruction set processors! As for the name of the new company, it's called ARM!!!"
"ARM?" Everyone wondered what the name meant.
Li Zetian explained with a smile: "Just pick an inexplicable name to confuse our competitors!" In fact, ARe, among them, Acorn is a British computer company. The reason why Li Zetian chose the name of the branch as ARM is just to pin his expectations on the current ARM company, and always remind himself of the development direction of ARM company!
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.
Li Zetian turned to look at Wei Xiuping at this time, and said, "RISC has great potential for development. Wei Xiuping, you will be in charge of ARM and become the CEO, what do you think?"
Wei Xiuping nodded and replied, "No problem, Mr. Li, don't worry, I will manage this company!" Wei Xiuping was very excited when he thought that he could be in charge of a subsidiary at a young age.
Li Zetian said with a smile: "Take as many RISC talents as possible, and vigorously develop RISC processors. Intel must grasp both hands, and both hands must be hard!"
"Yes!!!"
Li Zetian's decision not only changed the fate of Intel, but also changed the fate of Acorn in the UK. In the future, ARM, the chip leader in the mobile computer market, belongs to Intel!
It didn't take long for the ARM company to be formed. The new company has more than 350 members, basically engineers. Intel fully supports the development of ARM, and allocated 200 million US dollars to develop processors based on RISC architecture. The first processor, named ARM1, is mainly used in graphics workstations and servers.
At this moment, the industry is still wasting time discussing which RISC and CISC are better.
Li Zetian couldn't help but be proud of himself. After you discussed it, ARM's products have been developed, hehe...
This is the advantage of people who have passed through. They are always one step ahead, knowing what will become popular, and grasping the general trend!
Li Zetian also began to learn how to develop chips at this time. He preferred RISC development and felt that RISC had a more promising future than CISC.
In fact, Li Zetian has been learning artificial intelligence, and the key to artificial intelligence is the chip, which is equivalent to the brain of artificial intelligence! Li Zetian is now putting his main energy on high-tech development. When he has time, he will ask about the entertainment business, and use his memory of his previous life to point out the development direction for the entertainment business.
The entertainment business is very lucrative, and high technology requires a lot of R&D funds. Li Zetian does not want the company to raise funds, so he can only pay for it himself. Records, movies, games, etc. can bring him huge income.
Just when Li Zetian was concentrating on researching chips, Michael Jackson was already popular in the United States. His MV has been broadcast on the MTV TV network. It is super popular. The perfect combination of dance and songs is deeply sought after by Americans and has established the status of Michael Jackson! MTV rebroadcasts Michael Jackson's MV more than 30 times every day, and the ratings soared. The coverage of the MTV TV network is like a crazy siege, and it is quickly spread across the United States. Those "cable TV operators" are in order to enhance their competition. Force, have agreed to open MTV channel.
In front of the Netflix rental store, countless customers came in droves, shouting "Michael Jackson", with a very frenzied expression! As the coverage of the MTV network increased, Michael Jackson's MV was seen by more people, and his amazing dance was imitated by people, especially young people in the United States are all learning his dance, in school Inside, from time to time, some students can be seen practicing skateboarding (space walks), and countless students next to them are screaming for it!
How hot is Michael Jackson? This answer is accurately reflected in the sales of records and music videos!
"Thriller" sells for $30 per album, which is very expensive. However, even so, a month later, the "Thriller" album sold 12.8 million copies, the music video sold 2.74 million copies, and Violet Records' revenue reached 400 million US dollars, causing an uproar in the industry!
Violet Records' record production factories were unable to produce them, so they had to ask other record factories to produce them.
Since April, Michael Jackson's albums began to land overseas, and then immediately swept the major charts, becoming the undisputed number one! MTV TV network has entered Europe, Asia, South America and other regions with the help of Michael Jackson's shareholder wind, and has gradually become a music TV network with great international influence.
Michael Jackson dominates the music industry for a while!
Although Yu Jingqiu's album was completed in early April, it was not released immediately. Instead, it was released after Michael Jackson's popularity subsided, to avoid confrontation between artists of his own company and cause huge losses.
After the album was completed, Yu Jingqiu took a week off before filming the MV. The MV for each song had a huge investment, even more than Jackson's MV.
With the songs Li Zetian wrote for her and these MVs, coupled with Yu Jingqiu's looks and figure, her fame is likely to catch up with Michael Jackson and become the goddess of everyone! Li Zetian sometimes can't help thinking that every night he sleeps with the goddess in everyone's mind, or has sex, the satisfaction in his heart is almost indescribable!
Today, because of the success of Michael Jackson's MV, it will undoubtedly promote the MV to a whole new level. Only at this time did the record company know that the original MV can still be shot like this. The more popular the MV, the more famous the singer, and the more album sales!
For a time, many record companies began to re-shoot the MV, and contacted the MTV music television network, hoping to play on it.
MTV Music Television Network has quietly become a giant in the music television industry!
At this time, Li Zetian felt that the "Voice of America" program could be produced, so he wrote a detailed plan and gave it to the MTV program production department to let them do it themselves. Four well-known, capable and articulate singer mentors.
"The Voice of America" can not only output high-quality fresh blood to Violet Records, but also increase MTV's market share, killing two birds with one stone!
Now the entertainment business has just started, Li Zetian has to worry more, if he gets on the right track and becomes a stable cash cow, then he can devote himself to the development of high technology.
As he researched chips, there was an urge to integrate the upstream and downstream of the chip.
Gordon Moore proposed Moore's Law, but in Li Zetian's view, Moore's Law can be broken with money. The key to the chip manufacturing process and process lies in the production equipment. If semiconductor equipment manufacturers can develop more advanced machines in advance, there is no doubt that Moore's Law will be broken!
Since the semiconductor industry has just started to flourish, chip equipment manufacturers have just started. At this time, it is Li Zetian's God-given opportunity to buy them. If you miss an opportunity, it will never be possible in the future. Even if you have money, you want to buy them, but The local government will never agree!
The problem Li Zetian is encountering now is that these semiconductor equipment companies are still quite expensive, and they have to invest huge amounts of money in research and development when they buy them. Taiwan, how can you afford to play without money
