1991 Starting from the core

Su Yuanshan almost laughed out loud.

Of the three people at 3DFX, he only remembered Scott - this man was one of the founders and the one who declared the company bankrupt. It could be said that there was a beginning and an end.

Seeing Su Yuanshan's expression, Xi Xiaoding wondered: "I thought you wanted to cooperate with SGI. Do you want to poach people?"

"Yeah!" Su Yuanshan took a deep breath, and when he was about to ask Xi Xiaoding to contact him, he was suddenly stunned, and then smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Senior Brother Xi, how about you poach this Scott and his colleagues as quickly as possible?"

Xi Xiaoding nodded without thinking: "Okay, I should be able to dig it out. I heard Scott talk about it. The new boss seems to want him to do audio."

Hearing Xi Xiaoding's almost casual response, Su Yuanshan breathed out softly.

For a long time, he had a stereotype of Xi Xiaoding, thinking that Xi Xiaoding was the kind of arrogant, ignorant, and textbook-like aloof genius. So much so that he didn't feel comfortable letting Xi Xiaoding handle other things. He even deliberately let Xi Xiaoding only be responsible for technology - for example, Silicon Valley Xinghai hired two girls to assist Xi Xiaoding when it was first established.

It seems that my stereotype needs to be changed - if Xi Xiaoding is really the kind of lonely person who doesn't even have any friends, then what does it mean that I have such a good relationship with him?

"Let them dig it out and let them directly develop display chips. Sony will definitely ask us to cooperate. The more complete our plan is, the more bargaining chips we will have and the greater the harvest will be. Wait until the cooperation here is completed , you can start using the graphics card."

"That's no problem." Xi Xiaoding nodded again: "It's not a big deal to change jobs in Silicon Valley now. We in Xinghai have already left several people in the past six months - but I guess they are commercial spies."

Su Yuanshan laughed.

Xi Xiaoding, the product manager and technical director of Yuanxin EDA, did not even touch the source code after coming to Silicon Valley. It’s just to prevent colleagues from making small moves.

Ms. Carly arrived earlier than Su Yuanshan expected.

When Su Yuanshan invited her, to avoid taboos, she did not ask what the cordless phone was. She just made a guess. Moreover, she also wanted to see what kind of method Yuanxin could use to launch the so-called new product at the exhibition. .

When the parameters and technical manual of the cordless phone were sent to Silicon Valley, Carly knew that she should contact Su Yuanshan in advance.

No one knows better than her, who has worked at AT\u0026T for more than ten years, what kind of market and changes cordless phones will bring, and no one is more suitable than her to promote this product for FarCore.

At least that's what Carly thought.

…

In the coffee shop, Su Yuanshan held a pen and signed his name on the employment contract.

"Ms. Carly, you are far more professional than all of us in the telephone industry. Therefore, the operations of the cordless telephone department will be established and run by you without any interference from me." Su Yuanshan blew dry the ink and pushed the contract and pen to Carly said with a smile: "But I still want to hear why you insist on building a factory? After all, my previous idea was to only license IP."

Carly held the pen, thought for a few seconds and replied: "Do you know the seven Bell companies that AT\u0026T was spun off from?"

"Know."

"For so many years, only Bell, who has mastered both technical products and the market, has lived a good life. Others... can't do it." Carly lowered her head and quickly signed her name: "And the cordless phone will be a product with a long-term market. As long as you can capture more than half of the market share, you can even treat it as a pension fund."

Su Yuanshan was speechless, but he did not refute Carly.

After all... not everyone could foresee that the mobile phone market would explode in a few years and complete the mobile Internet revolution, pushing the entire third industrial revolution to a new climax.

And Carly is right in a sense. There has always been a market for landline phones in the West. Unlike in China, the popularization of home communication equipment has been completed directly by mobile phones.

But in this case, the money comes slowly.

Carly raised her head and looked at Su Yuanshan with sincere eyes: "At the same time, having its own physical products is also the only way for a company to grow into a large company. Licensing the whole machine may make money with less trouble, but Relative to the government, its value is not high, at least not high enough. Unless your technology can stand at a high enough level - just like Yuanxin EDA."

Su Yuanshan thought for a while and nodded with a smile, agreeing with her statement.

"So, I will work hard to promote EDA in schools. However, the technology is not in Silicon Valley after all, so it may not go as smoothly as imagined." Carly said and paused: "But as long as Yuanxin can continue to maintain its technical advantages. Everything is easy to say...You know, science has no borders."

"I agree with the first half of your last sentence."

Su Yuanshan chuckled.

Carly was stunned, shook her head, and smiled gently.

At the end of the exhibition, Carly also officially took office. She spent a day getting familiar with Xinghai's current structure, and handed over a job recruitment report the next day. After arranging Yang Yiwen's recruitment, she began to take Qin Si around for negotiations, which was really impressive. She has a fiery side.

Su Yuanshan kept his promise and stayed out of everything here. Carly also respected his previous arrangement. Even when Xi Xiaoding hired the display chip project team established by Scott, she also expressed great support.

After all, Su Yuanshan has another identity - he is also a successful boss. Carly must trust Su Yuanshan's vision and at the same time prove her ability.

…

Five days later, the provincial capital airport.

Su Yuanshan dragged his suitcase and as soon as he went out, he saw Chen Jing standing at the door wearing a light yellow sweatshirt, jeans, and sneakers with a relaxed expression.

Today she dressed casually, and her hair was not pulled up like last time, but was tied into a ponytail. She looks like a perfect female college student, full of youth and vitality.

"Why are you here to pick me up? Where is my uncle?"

Su Yuanshan dragged his suitcase towards the parking lot, but unexpectedly Chen Jing walked towards a brand new Mercedes-Benz W140 next to it, which is also commonly known as Hutouben.

"Here." Chen Jing held up the key.

Su Yuanshan looked at the brand new Mercedes-Benz with a surprised look on his face: "You drove the car over?"

"I asked your uncle to buy it - the first Hutouben in the provincial capital. I got it through special channels." Chen Jing shook her hair and opened the driver's seat: "A big telecore, there is no official car. Not to mention, even the boss rides a bicycle to and from get off work. Are you too simple? When the people from Niguo come over, why don't you ask someone to take a taxi to the company? "

Su Yuanshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Since they are from the Ni country, wouldn't buying a Mercedes-Benz excite them? It would be great to buy a Ni country car."

"It's intentional, just to let them know that we won't go along with them."

Chen Jing rolled down the car window, revealing her beautiful profile.

"Get in the car, Mr. Su."
