Rebirth: I just wanted to study hard, but I became a scumbag

A sunny morning.

Over Beijing's international airport, a Boeing 747 passenger plane slowly took off.

This passenger plane departed from the capital, and its destination was the beautiful and distant country of California.

Airplane first class.

Su Ze and Liu Ruyan had a drink together.

Zhou Wenming, as assistant and driver, sat behind them.

Unlike the last time I went abroad, there was another person accompanying me this time.

Rebus.

Since the launch of Xiaomi mobile phones, he has been intensively developing next-generation products.

But generally speaking, the iteration cycle of electronic products is about 18 months.

Currently they don't have a suitable mobile phone chip on hand.

If we forcefully build a new mobile phone, we can only reluctantly use the previous generation mobile phone chips.

This will undoubtedly affect the reputation they have accumulated with great difficulty.

Therefore, Su Ze proposed to take him abroad.

See if you can buy a higher specification mobile phone chip.

Qualcomm, which dominated the field of mobile phone chips in its previous life, is not yet the leader in mobile phone chips at this time.

This is mainly because the current mobile phones are dominated by 2G mobile phones.

Most of the chips installed in various copycat phones come from another chip company.

General instrument.

Although Qualcomm ranks second in market share, it is still slightly inferior.

However, this will change quickly as smartphones become more ubiquitous.

Soon Qualcomm will dominate the entire Android phone market with its famous "Snapdragon" series of chips.

"Mr. Su, can you really make an appointment with the president of Qualcomm?"

Rebus asked doubtfully.

Although Qualcomm's chip industry has just improved.

But it is already a large company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars in the U.S. stock market.

The president of such a large company is not something anyone can meet with casually.

Su Ze turned around, smiled and said to him: "Don't worry, I assure you, it's no problem."

"Our Mr. Su is a good friend of Mr. Page, the president of Google. Isn't it easy for him to date the president of Qualcomm?"

Zhou Wenming explained quite proudly.

However, Su Ze shook his head.

"I did ask someone else to make an appointment with the Qualcomm president, but he was not Page."

"He's the current president of Nvidia, Jason Huang."

In its previous life, Nvidia was world-famous in the graphics card industry.

But in fact, in the early days, they specifically developed mobile phone chips.

Even the Xiaomi Mi 3 mobile phone was equipped with Nvidia chips.

Unfortunately, due to the huge amount of heat generated, the phone overheats and the user experience is extremely poor.

Later, Nvidia believed that the mobile phone chip industry and graphics card chips were in completely different tracks.

It is better to be the best in one field than to be blindly greedy for more.

So Huang chose to abandon mobile phone chips and focus on developing graphics cards.

However, Nvidia is still working on entering the mobile phone chip market at this time.

To this end, they even acquired a baseband company specifically to make up for Nvidia's shortcomings in the mobile phone field.

It is precisely for this reason that Jason Huang has some contacts with Paul, the president of Qualcomm.

Su Ze relied on his 20% stake in Nvidia and unceremoniously asked Jason Huang to help him make an appointment with Paul.

Of course, Jason Huang has always admired Su Ze, a young man with unique vision, so he was very happy to help him arrange matters related to meeting Paul.

After hearing this, Rebus nodded in realization.

"So that's it. As expected, Mr. Su has more options."

Su Ze raised his glass and the four of them drank together.

"I hope the rest of the journey will go well."

After a long flight.

The plane landed at San Diego Airport in California.

After arriving at the hotel, Su Ze and Liu Ruyan went to the room to rest.

"Mr. Su, our meeting with the president of Qualcomm is in two days. Why do we have to come here in advance?"

Liu Ruyan asked puzzledly.

Su Ze smiled: "Because I also made an appointment with other guests."

"It's not a certain Hollywood female star, is it?"

Liu Ruyan pouted and said.

Seeing that she was a little jealous, Su Ze reached out and pinched her cheek.

"With Sister Liu here, what female star can compare to you?"

Liu Ruyan snorted: "Put it down, I don't know you yet?"

"You must have forgotten me long ago when you were with other women!"

Su Ze took her into his arms and said, "Sister Liu is becoming more and more like a little resentful woman."

"All right."

Liu Ruyan reminded: "Hurry up and get ready, you have to meet guests later, right?"

Su Ze kissed her on the cheek.

"Be good, my husband will love you again in the evening."

Then he changed into a suit and left the room.

Zhou Wenming has been waiting in the lobby on the first floor for a long time.

"lets go."

"Mr. Su, this is a series of conditions proposed by the other party. Please take a look."

Zhou Wenming followed Su Ze and handed him a document as he walked.

Su Ze glanced at it and found that there were no particularly outrageous requirements.

"It's okay. Except for the details of some conditions that need to be negotiated, everything else is fine."

Zhou Wenming frowned.

"But boss, I still don't quite understand."

"Why do you think so highly of a map author?"

"Dota uses Blizzard's game models. Even if you want to discuss copyright, you should talk to Blizzard, right?"

Su Ze explained: "You are wrong."

"Dota is just a game map for War3. Blizzard has the model copyright, but not the gameplay copyright."

"We need to reset the game, but the model is secondary. The main thing is to look at the gameplay."

Zhou Wenming nodded thoughtfully.

He hesitated for a moment and continued to ask: "But boss, can Dota really beat League of Legends?"

As League of Legends explodes in the country.

As the originator of this type of game, Dota's popularity has been declining.

As for the reason, it is not difficult to find out.

The backwardness of the picture is one aspect, but it is not the main point.

The main reason is that it is extremely difficult to get started, and newcomers who enter the game can only be brutally abused without having any gaming experience.

In contrast, the game environment of League of Legends is much friendly to newcomers.

Not only is there a rich novice tutorial, but the opponents matched in the early stage are extremely weak, which can provide players with sufficient positive feedback.

Su Ze shook his head.

"It's embarrassing, Dota is too difficult."

Zhou Wenming thought for a while: "How about we talk to Ice Frog and ask him to change the game content, such as canceling denial, or no longer deducting money after death."

"Then why do we need to reset dota?"

Su Ze said calmly: "These are the features of Dota. Once they are cancelled, whether it can attract new players is another matter, but it will definitely lose a large number of old players."

"What's more, after the Dota remake, new models will need to be built, which in itself will cause dissatisfaction among old players."

“Once we change the core mechanics of the game, we might as well change the name.”

Zhou Wenming became even more confused.

"Mr. Su, then why do we spend so much energy on this project? It's not thankless for our efforts."
