1991 Starting from the core

Su Yuanshan's question stopped Qin Sihuan for a moment. She pondered for a while before saying: "You have to check this with the Ministry of Commerce - haven't you exported it before?"

Su Yuanshan shook his head: "People come to buy them and quote a fixed price."

"Oh, the tax system here is very strict. Those who have joint ventures in the country can still make some small moves. If not, they must pay taxes honestly."

While chatting, everyone also helped to set up the booth - it was just a few posters and a few pops. But the companies at the Sands venue are almost the same. After all, most of them are software developers, not compared to those hardware vendors. The entire venue is poor and desolate.

Not long after, Professor Li Gaoliang, the head of the Department of Computer Science and Technology of the Department of Electrical Engineering, accompanied the two to Yuanxin's booth. After some introductions, Director Yu from the Computer Department of the Department of Mechanical and Electronics smiled and shook hands with everyone, and finally Almost holding Xi Xiaoding's hand, he said earnestly: "Dr. Xi, whether our country can show its face this time depends entirely on you Yuan Xin, come on!"

Xi Xiaoding was obviously not used to dealing with officials, so he could only smile and nod: "We will try our best."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news! I'll go somewhere else for a walk."

Director Yu walked forward, and Li Gaoliang hurriedly approached Su Yuanshan, lowering his voice as if he were a thief: "Xiaoshan, we've got a few cars from the consulate in San Francisco. If you need anything, just call."

Su Yuanshan thought there was some secret. After hearing this, he couldn't help but smile: "Uncle Li, it's okay. We rented a car here."

"Oh... that's good." Seeing that Director Yu was about to leave, Professor Li Gaoliang said with a smile: "Don't forget this before leaving..."

Li Gaoliang rubbed his index finger and thumb, said hello to the others and left quickly.

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw his back.

Originally, there was no quota for the Electrical Engineering Department of this inspection team, but Su Xinghe's report in the capital caused too much noise, so the ministry decided to give a quota to the Electrical Engineering Department as a reward - to be precise, it was for Su Xinghe. . However, the microcontroller project led by Su Xinghe has reached a critical stage. Secondly, he will also participate in the final selection of the "First Electronic Circuit and Programming Competition" as a referee, so he gave this place to Li Gaoliang.

It is difficult to go abroad at public expense during this period. After all, foreign exchange is now scarce and foreign exchange controls are still in place. Therefore, Li Gaoliang asked Su Yuanshan to borrow a US knife to bring some gifts back to his family.

"The country is poor." Chen Haoming sighed, and smiled at Su Yuanshan: "It's no wonder that Director Yu made a special trip to cheer you up - I looked at the catalog and saw what other companies are doing, purely It’s just a matter of making up the numbers.”

"Then it seems we still have to do something about this stall." Su Yuanshan looked around and said with a smile: "Think of a good trick to attract more people."

…

That night, Su Yuanshan ran to the hotel and pestered the black aunt who was sweeping the floor for a long time. Finally, he dug out two pieces of cardboard for the refrigerator in the hotel's storage room. When he carried the cardboard back to the house, a group of people laughed at him, thinking that he was scavenging. Came to Las Vegas.

But when he had to carry the cardboard with him in the car the next day, everyone guessed that he wanted to write something with this piece of cardboard that was taller than a person. As for what to write, Su Yuanshan only said it would be kept confidential and would not tell everyone for the time being.

After entering the venue early, everyone discovered that there was basically only one person left at each booth. It was said that everyone else had gone to the main venue to wait to watch the opening ceremony.

"How about you guys go too, I'll be fine here alone." Su Yuanshan weighed his feet and tied two pieces of cardboard to the pillar with tape.

"I really have to wait and see what tricks you can come up with." Originally, Yang Yiwen wanted to go there the most. At this time, she folded her arms and waited for Su Yuanshan with a smile.

Chen Haoming joked: "Xiao Su, you don't want to draw a beautiful woman, do you? Then you might as well ask Playboy to make a poster for you."

Qin Si pinched her boyfriend and stared at Su Yuanshan curiously.

Su Yuanshan chuckled. He borrowed half a bottle of ink from the Nara Game Studio booth next door, rolled it in paper and moistened it, and began to draw thick strokes on the cardboard.

Three letters thicker than a human basin appeared on the refrigerator cardboard.

AMD.

Everyone was confused, including the guy from Ni Guo who borrowed the ink.

Yang Yiwen couldn't laugh or cry: "You don't want to pretend to be AMD, do you?"

"Wait!"

Su Yuanshan held his chin and planned the layout of the fonts. He thought for a long time and finally decided not to be weird.

Where are you? ——He originally wanted to write "Are you ok", but this kind of deliberate language is actually more contagious.

However, even a standard question is enough to stand out among the vast number of almost identical product display pictures. What's more, he also touched AMD.

Yang Yiwen became even more puzzled: "Why are you looking for AMD? Huh?"

At this moment, Qin Si's eyes lit up. She slapped her boyfriend on the shoulder and said loudly: "This trick works!"

The boy from Niguo next to him also woke up immediately and exclaimed "Soudisai".

"How is it? This is called porcelain marketing." Su Yuanshan continued to write on another piece of cardboard.

——We use the strongest EDA to help you defeat Intel!

It has to be said that Su Yuanshan's move is really powerful, and he also had some considerations in choosing AMD. AMD has been busy fighting a lawsuit with Intel recently. Even when AM386DX was launched, it was not made with much fanfare. Although it was quickly accepted by the market and was even centralized purchased by Compaq, it is a fact that it has never been authorized by X86. In view of this, AMD's booth was very small, not even the 386 was on display, but only a few small chips to express its presence.

And AMD's current reputation far exceeds its strength, which is largely due to its boss Sanders. When Sanders was still at Fairchild, he created a glorious deed that shocked the entire Silicon Valley - as a salesman for Fairchild Semiconductor, he swaggered into IBM's headquarters to discuss business wearing a pair of infamous pink pants. Not to mention how many supercilious looks I got during this period, in the end we actually negotiated that it was the most slutty one!

Su Yuanshan believes that his two simple slogans will definitely attract reporters who are comparable to paparazzi.

Seeing that everyone was in awe, Su Yuanshan smiled slightly and came up with an idea: "Go to the main venue quickly, then go to the reporters if you have nothing to do, and pretend to casually say that there is a broken software company in the Jinsha venue who brazenly claims that its EDA is the best in the world. We are looking for AMD all over the world, saying that we will unite to defeat Intel, IBM and Apple."

Qin Si quickly pushed Chen Haoming: "Let's go, I think this is okay."

Xi Xiaoding also smiled and nodded, then shook his head: "It's okay for you to become famous if you do this...it just brings us down a bit."

"Never mind it, it's just marketing. Who let them engage in discrimination, sing and dance, and make our place so deserted?"

Of course, news has long legs, but if the road is too far, how long will it take to just rely on feet? There are six venues located throughout the city, and there is really no way to compete with the hosts without playing some tricks.
