1991 Starting from the core

The WTO in later generations is still called the Provisional Institutions of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Although the country formally submitted an application to restore the status of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade as early as 6 years ago and actively carried out round negotiations, due to various reasons, the domestic foreign trade system has The review has been delayed again and again and has not yet been completed.

Moreover, the completion of the review of the foreign trade system is only the beginning. The subsequent negotiations will be maddeningly difficult - a leader once got angry at a public meeting and said, after talking for so long, my hair has turned from black to white. If you don’t let me in, it would be too difficult to join the party!

And if the historical process does not change, the real joining will be in 2001 - that is the 21st century.

Now Yang Yiwen actually said that the existence of Yuanxin affected the customs entry negotiations?

"Sister-in-law, can you tell me more specifically?" Su Yuanshan looked around and asked softly.

Yang Yiwen smiled, thought about it again, and then motioned for Yu Yuru to change positions with her, and she sat next to Su Yuanshan.

"It has little impact on the review of the foreign trade system, but it has a little impact on the measurement of our industry. As you may know, we have always wanted to enter the customs as a pure developing country."

"Yeah." Su Yuanshan nodded.

"The problem is that the West thinks that we are not a developing country in the full sense...Have you ever seen any poor country with nuclear bombs, satellites and intercontinental missiles? Now that telecores have popped up, they have filled the gap in the domestic software industry, so The opposite position has changed for us.”

Su Yuanshan couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. Of course he knew how difficult it would be for future generations to enter the country. The key lies in positioning the current domestic situation - based on per capita GDP, the continent is extremely poor and is even worse than its African brothers. But the overall amount is barely passable, and at the same time, some areas are okay.

Just this alone, the past life has been going back to 2001. Now with the addition of a remote core, it can't be postponed until 2011?

Su Yuanshan smiled bitterly: "Then there's nothing we can do. You can't let me dissolve Yuanxin, right - what else did your dad say?"

"He just smiled and asked me to work with peace of mind." Yang Yiwen stared at Su Yuanshan and comforted: "I guess he told me this because he asked me to tell you. After all, I am considered a high-level executive of Yuanxin Really? And no matter how difficult it is, we can’t let us give up our martial arts, right?”

"Yes, yes! Come here, sister-in-law, I want to toast you and my senior brother." Su Yuanshan raised his glass with a smile.

Next, Yang Yiwen talked about some interesting things. For example, Intel recently took AMD and Cyrix to court at the same time, saying that their AM386 and CX486 DLC-33GP respectively infringed on its patents.

When he heard this, Su Yuanshan had an inexplicable smile on his lips.

How are those songs sung?

"I've finally waited for you" "I've been waiting for you for a thousand years" "I've been waiting for you for a long time and finally waited for today"...

In Yang Yiwen's eyes, these lawsuits are just cases that she needs to pay attention to and what she thinks are interesting things in the eyes of others. But in Su Yuanshan's eyes, the butterfly wings finally failed to flap history, and Intel is still the Intel that wants to dominate the market.

The commercial litigation in the West was protracted, and the litigation with AMD ended in 1995. In the end, Intel lost the lawsuit, and AMD obtained the authorization for the X86 architecture.

But Cyrix, a prostitute, is very smart. In addition to copying Intel's 386, it also named it CX486 and added a long list of code names, making people think it was Intel's 486. And it is a pure chip design company, and all chips are handed over to TI (Texas Instruments), which has not yet been authorized by Intel to withdraw the X86 license. In this way, it can avoid the 338 patent as much as possible.

At the same time, Cyrix also holds the FPU patent. When Intel initiated the lawsuit, it also initiated a lawsuit against Intel, counterclaiming Intel's monopoly and Intel's infringement of its own FPU patent. The two will also reach a settlement, and Intel will obtain the FPU authorization. Cyrix has obtained some patent licenses for the X86 architecture.

This year and next year, Cyrix's low-end U will enter Southeast Asia and China, and quickly occupy the low-end market, gaining a certain market position. National Semiconductor sold it at a good price of US$550 million when it acquired it in 1997. However, after two years of survival, it will be sold to Miss Wang's VIA at a tearful sale for less than one-third of the price.

…

After the hotpot ended, Su Yuanshan took a taxi home.

With a smile in his eyes, he locked himself in the study, grabbed the extension and dialed Xi Xiaoding's number.

"Senior brother, it's me."

Xi Xiaoding yawned: "...it's six o'clock in the morning."

Su Yuanshan suppressed his excitement: "Well, mainly because I can't help it. I remember Cyrix was our first customer, right?"

"Yes, they are a CPU design company that fully embraces us."

"Okay! I just heard from Sister Yiwen that they were sued by Intel. What was the reaction there?"

"Haha, they are a bunch of veterans, there is nothing to worry about." Xi Xiaoding thought that Su Yuanshan was worried about his partners, and smiled: "They also launched a countersuit, and both parties are now collecting evidence."

Su Yuanshan pondered for a moment and took a deep breath: "Well... In this way, you can quietly contact Cyrix and see how much it costs to buy them."

There was suddenly no sound on the other end of the phone. After half a ring, Xi Xiaoding's breathing became rapid: "Holy crap! Is it true?"

"Really, now that Cyrix is ​​facing a lawsuit, the price will definitely not be too high. It depends on whether they are willing to sell. If they are willing to sell, then look at the price, and then see if Xinghai is qualified to buy it. If the qualifications are not enough, what needs to be done? Adjustments, what plans to make. Whether the final transaction will be cash or cash plus equity - these are all negotiable."

"Damn it!" Xi Xiaoding said another dirty word again: "You are too brave to acquire a company that is in litigation. If we lose the lawsuit, we will lose our pants. Besides, Cyrix is ​​worth hundreds of millions of dollars now. We How can we have so much cash? And we are very likely to face antitrust investigations..."

"The anti-monopoly investigation can't do anything to us. The most it can do is disgust us." Su Yuanshan chuckled and said, "Brother, you just told me not to worry about them."

Xi Xiaoding was silent. After a few seconds, he whispered: "It's none of your business, just hang it up. Now that you are taking this risk, of course I will be worried. I know you want to take this opportunity to get the X86 architecture authorization, but The premise is that the lawsuit must be settled and authorized, which is too risky.”

"Wealth is found in danger, so don't worry about money. When the production capacity of cordless phones is increased, there will be money in Xinghai."

Su Yuanshan said calmly: "Besides, we can also find IBM or TI to invest in Xinghai. They have been coveting us for a long time."

Seeing that Su Yuanshan had made up his mind, Xi Xiaoding no longer insisted: "Then... I will wait for Carly to come back and discuss it with her to see how to contact her."

"Well, just say it's your idea and try to remove the remote core first." Su Yuanshan pursed his lips, squinted his eyes, and looked at the quiet campus of the Department of Electrical Engineering. He said softly: "Senior brother, sneak into the village and don't let anyone shoot you."

"Understood." Xi Xiaoding took a breath: "If you really get the X86 authorization, are you confident that you can kill Intel?"

"You have to do it to find out. Chip design is nothing more than burning your brains. Who is afraid of whom?"

When Xi Xiaoding heard Su Yuanshan repeat the words that convinced him in the first place, he laughed and felt proud.

"Okay! Then give it a fucking vote!"
