In the evening, Bill Gates invited a guest to dinner, and Li Zetian called Yu Jingqiu together to slaughter the big family together.
After dinner, Paul Allen was ready to return to Boston.
Li Zetian watched him go, and said meaningfully: "Do well, Paul, I will find you in the future!"
Paul Allen smiled and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to your dropping out!"
"Oh, Paul, don't keep talking about dropping out, you see, my girlfriend doesn't like it!"
Yu Jingqiu smiled and said nothing.
Paul Allen laughed and waved goodbye to the crowd.
"Bill, Steve, you go back to the dormitory first, and I'll take Susan back."
"Okay, then let's go first."
Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer responded and left first.
Yu Jingqiu asked, "Is that Paul Allen very powerful?" She could see that Li Zetian, who was arrogant in his bones, attached great importance to Paul Allen.
"Yes, very powerful, a talent!" Li Zetian nodded, and then added, "He is a genius engineer!"
"Oh!"
Li Zetian is in a very happy mood. More and more talents gather around him. Running a company is not just about one person, but a strong team. Bill Gates will not talk about it, the technology is awesome, the management company is awesome, and he can be on his own. Paul Allen is a great tech and could be a CTO. Steve Ballmer was a talented and sociable man who helped Bill Gates run the company and handle external affairs.
In the future, the company under Li Zetian's name will be more than just Microsoft. He can't do everything by himself. Knowing people and taking care of them is the most important thing for an excellent entrepreneur to do. In order to retain talents like Bill Gates, Li Zetian is willing to give up 10%-20% of his shares. In addition, Bill Gates has a strong family background, not to mention anything else, his mother is the director of HSD State University, the first female director of the First Interstate Banking Corporation, and the IBM Corporation during his tenure as the chairman of the executive board of the National United Way. The CEO of the company, John Akers, works together and has a very good relationship. The reason why Microsoft can cooperate with IBM is that Bill Gates' mother is a bridge! Of course, the BASIC compiler developed by Microsoft has become an industry standard, which is also an important point for IBM to take a fancy to Microsoft.
A few days later is April 1st, the day Intel finally released the 8080 processor.
When Li Zetian saw the news, his heart was filled with excitement.
I called Intel in the afternoon to buy one.
"Hello, this is Intel Corporation!"
"Hello, I want to buy an Intel-8080 microprocessor!" Li Zetian said.
"Which company do you belong to? Our company's Intel-8080 microprocessor is not sold to individuals, only to enterprises!"
I go to your sister, so hypocritical! ! !
Hearing this, Li Zetian couldn't help complaining in his heart. He did set up a company, the registered Chinese name is Zhetian Company, and the registered English name is Umbrella (for foreign registrations, all must be registered in English), which is the umbrella company familiar to people in previous lives! ! !
Umbrella Company or Zhetian Company is the parent company of all Li Zetian companies in the future. He will hold 100% of the shares, and because it is an offshore company, others do not know who is the shareholder behind this company. Li Zetian is now using the phone of the school dormitory to call Intel, which is easy to reveal his identity. Since the other party does not do personal business, he directly hangs up the phone and thinks of other ways.
In fact, this is no wonder Intel Corporation, because the chips at that time were too expensive, usually only enterprises could afford them. Intel Corporation was a manufacturer specializing in enterprise-level chips, and it was impossible to open personal business for a few people. Back then, when Steve Wozniak designed the Apple-|computer, because it was not easy to buy the Intel-8080 microprocessor, and the Intel-8080 was too expensive, the wholesale price of the enterprise alone was $375, so he chose the cheaper MOS-6502.
The MOS-6502 is a product developed by Motorola's genius engineer, Chuck Peder, who led six engineers to jump to MOS Technology. Chuk Peder felt that the Motorola 6800 processor was too expensive, and suggested that the company develop a cheap processor. However, the management felt that since the 6800 was so profitable, why should they get a cheap CPU to compete for their own market? Peder's suggestion.
As a result, in the second half of 1975, the MOS-6502 was born, and the price was only $25, which was 1/7 of the Motorola 6800 and 1/15 of the Intel 8080. Although MOS-6502 is cheap, it is also a very good 8-bit microprocessor, with a maximum support memory of 64KB. Its main frequency is the same as that of 6800, which is 1MHz, but because 6502 has an instruction pipeline, its performance is significantly better than that of 6502. 6800.
MOS-6502 is so cheap, how can Motorola 6800 and Intel 8080 play happily? Had to make a big price cut.
Of course, Li Zetian wanted to use MOS-6502 to make Apple computers, but others have not yet produced it, which is very helpless, so he had to use Intel-8080 first. However, Li Zetian had long considered that he would first use Intel-8080 to develop the Apple-l personal computer with simple functions. As long as it was released earlier than the Altair 8800, Apple-l would surely make Apple a legend in the industry with the gimmick of the world's first personal computer. , so as to make a fortune.
New technologies and new functions do not have to be brought out in one go. Otherwise, what are the highlights of future product upgrades
Wait until MOS-6502 was released in 1975, and then use it to develop Apple-ll, the classic Apple company in history.
At the same time, the acquisition of MOS technology company.
You know, Nintendo's FC red and white game console uses the MOS-6502 microprocessor. Li Zetian will sooner or later enter the game industry, he is a man who wants to destroy Nintendo and Sony! ! !
Just when Li Zetian hung up the phone and was a little depressed, Yu Jingqiu brought a person to Li Zetian's dormitory.
This person is also a Chinese, in his twenties or thirties, with a medium build and a pair of glasses.
Yu Jingqiu introduced: "This is my cousin - Tang Jiawei, he asked you to discuss something!"
"Hello, nice to meet you, I'm Li Zetian!"
Since he was Yu Jingqiu's cousin, Li Zetian certainly couldn't be neglected and greeted him warmly.
"Hello, to be honest, I came here to ask you to promise me one thing!" Tang Jiawei said straight to the point.
"Sit down first, let's talk things slowly, of course I'm willing to help where I can help."
Li Zetian invited him to sit on the sofa and poured a glass of water.
Tang Jiawei said: "I saw the song you sang on New Year's Eve - "My Chinese Heart". I think it is a song full of patriotic feelings!"
"Thank you for your compliment, but if you have something to say, just say it!" Li Zetian smiled.
"Well, then I'll just say it straight, I want to ask your permission to authorize this song to my school as a school song!!!"
"School song?" Li Zetian was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What school?"
"I want to build a school that teaches Chinese and writes Chinese characters!"
Speaking of this, Tang Jiawei couldn't help sighing, "You know, there are many Chinese people in the United States now, but they can't even speak the most basic Chinese, and they can't write the most basic Chinese characters, I think I need to do something. Although we are in a foreign country, we Chinese cannot forget our roots, our roots, and our own language!!!”
When Li Zetian heard the words, his whole body was shocked!
