Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Although Tang Huan helped Lin Qingxia deal with Qin Xianglin as promised, his almost frivolous behavior seemed to make Lin Damei feel a little unhappy, and he did not contact him afterwards.

Tang Huan didn't take it seriously, and continued to focus on the complicated affairs of negotiations with many Japanese semiconductor companies.

History will always repeat some similar dramas. At this time, Baodao's enthusiasm for high-tech investment is about the same as that of mainland China in the future. In this way, the wrong signal was sent, and some small Japanese put on airs. And dragged down the bidding process.

Nima, this is a rotten habit, especially after Tang Huan read the summary of the preliminary negotiation results of various manufacturers, he became more and more upset. The conditions are similar and there is suspicion of an alliance.

Tang Huan, who was flipping through the documents, picked up a pen and crossed out the names of Matsushita Semiconductor and Mitsubishi Semiconductor, and then told Shi Chongtang, Notify these two companies that they are out.

Shi Chongtang was a little stunned, The conditions are almost the same, so they are eliminated so quickly?

Helping investment in the Science and Technology Park is just a passing reference. They actually understand that it is my inevitable demand, which is too arrogant. Tang Huan snorted, These two rank among the top six semiconductor companies. Let it go, express our attitude.

Shi Chongtang smiled wryly, nodded and agreed, Okay, I'll get rid of them, and hope that the science and technology park can understand our difficulties.

Seeing Shi Chongtang walk out of the office, Tang Huan rubbed the center of his brows, thinking, it seems that eggs really cannot be put in one basket, and the factory in Singapore needs to be properly promoted.

The representatives of Panasonic Semiconductor and Mitsubishi Semiconductor immediately showed the perseverance of the Japanese after knowing that they were eliminated in the first round. They revised the plan overnight and hoped to meet Tang Huan again, but they were directly rejected. Annoyed, but helpless.

At the same time, NEC, which ranks first among the six major semiconductor companies, conveyed through Baodao officials that Zheru's order will be jointly undertaken by several of them. In return, they will build a memory production plant in the science and technology park.

Let's put the cart before the horse and treat it like a donkey's liver and lungs. Tang Huan took a sip, dissatisfied with the attitude of the science and technology park, so he crossed out NEC's name again, and you are out of the game.

NEC Semiconductor's parent company, NEC, is so arrogant that it can even handle the business of artificial planets. Naturally, it is very arrogant. After being notified, its representative went home directly.

Tang Huan dismissed this. Anyway, it will soon compete with NEC's 16-bit personal computer PC-98 in the Japanese market.

Just when the stalemate was reached, Masayoshi Son, who was very busy selling Xiaobawang game consoles in Japan, brought a representative of Sharp Semiconductor to visit. Tang Huan understood what it meant when he saw this posture.

Sun Zhengyi earned his first pot of gold from Sharp. Naturally, there are some connections between the two. It is not surprising that this relationship is now being used.

Sharp is very persistent in the pursuit of the latest technology, and its semiconductors can also be ranked among the top 20 global semiconductor companies, and it is the second source of supply for the 8-bit CPUZ80 compatible with Intel8088. After comprehensive consideration, it is selected as the partner. Not bad.

Therefore, Tang Huan immediately gave Sun Zhengyi this face, and the representative of Sharp Semiconductor couldn't help but smile after receiving an affirmative answer.

At present, the business of Xiaobawang game console in Japan has also been merged into the American EA,

Sun Zhengyi became the president in charge of operations in the region. The supply of goods mainly comes from factories in Singapore, and the sales volume is also good, approaching one-third of the sales in the United States.

According to Tang Huan's idea of ​​acquiring several local Japanese game production companies, Sun Zhengyi is selecting targets.

The falling cube game Tetris is really suitable for all ages. My family likes it very much, and related variants such as the reverse falling type have also been released, and the gameplay has been enriched a lot.

Because of the initial success in the game console market, Sun Zhengyi can be regarded as proud of his spring breeze. He continued: How about we start a publication that can introduce video games and personal computers.

Tang Huan raised his brows and thought to himself, Is this going to enter the media field? It seems that the founder of Softbank in his previous life has moved a little earlier in his development trajectory.

Of course, if you need any resources, feel free to transfer them. Tang Huan agreed generously.

With Tang Huan's explicit support, Sun Zhengyi was very excited. Based on his detailed understanding of Zheru's current achievements, now Tang Huan has almost become his career idol.

Sun Zhengyi is a workaholic. After completing the task of leading the needle for Sharp Semiconductor, he returned to Japan soon.

Seeing that Sharp Semiconductor has begun to finalize the formal contract, representatives of Toshiba Semiconductor, Hitachi Semiconductor, and Fujitsu Semiconductor finally couldn't sit still, and started a more active second round of negotiations.

Unexpectedly, at this time, another Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, and a Japanese competitor-AMD jumped out.

This company was also born out of Fairchild Semiconductor and was established in 1969. At this time, its main business was to redesign products for other companies, improve their speed and efficiency, and provide these to the market as a second supplier The product's slogan is also very appropriate, which is more excellent parameter performance.

In order to strengthen the sales advantages of products, AMD has done a good job in quality assurance, and has become one of Zheru's semiconductor component suppliers in the United States.

AMD invested in Asia very early. It started producing wafers in 1972 and issued shares. In 1973, it established its first production base in Penang, Malaysia.

Last year, another assembly production base in Manila, Philippines was completed, and the turnover reached 100 million US dollars that year.

This year, AMD stock went public in New York, and a production facility in Austin, Texas, was completed.

Although not as dazzling as Intel, AMD's development momentum is not bad.

AMD, which has heard the news, has the cost advantage of its Asian production base, but it can really compete with Japanese semiconductor companies for an order.

What's more, this time one of AMD's founders and president Jerry Saunders personally took the initiative, which can be described as full of sincerity.

Sanders, who is in his forties this year, was still in kindergarten when his parents divorced and was eventually raised by his grandfather.

Perhaps because of the lack of maternal love and parental education, Sanders gradually developed a withdrawn and surly personality, so that he became a well-known controversial figure in Silicon Valley.

Tang Huan didn't care about this. Although Sanders was frivolous and unrestrained, he also abided by his beliefs and worked hard to start a business. He did have a lot of credit for AMD's development, and he came all the way to find him in person, which is a clear proof.

After the guests and hosts were seated in the conference room, Tang Huan took another look at each other.

Sanders has a very characteristic appearance, with a slightly sunken frontal bone and a deformed nose. It is said that it was because when he was in school, he fought for his classmates. As a result, the classmates ran away. The dream was also shattered.

This year, the Xiaobawang game console has really sprung up. It has become a standard gift during Christmas. Tang must have made a lot of money from it.

Sanders smiled and complimented him. He never concealed his love for money. His dream in life was: Become an actor, earn a lot of money, and have many beautiful women.

But because of the broken appearance, this idea had to be abandoned.

After graduating from college with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Saunders joined Douglas Aircraft Company.

However, after dealing with a Motorola salesman once, he was very envious of the other party's income level, so he resigned and moved to Motorola to do sales work. After only two years, he was already a regional sales manager.

Later, Sanders joined the famous Fairchild Semiconductor, and his sales work also flourished.

With such a material foundation, Sanders bought a beautiful house in Hollywood, bought a black Cadillac high-end convertible car, and lived a life like a movie star as he wished.

When Fairchild Semiconductor went downhill, personnel left one after another, and even a power struggle broke out, Sanders was swept out, so he and other colleagues founded AMD.

It can be seen that no matter what Sanders's reputation is, his talent is beyond doubt.

In his previous life, he was like a lone wolf, leading AMD and Intel to compete. Although he was defeated repeatedly, he made the other party fearful and did not dare to be too domineering in the market pricing. Invisibly, ordinary people can buy Wumart Inexpensive PCs.

There is a joke that explains this effect from the side, We should thank AMD for letting people use cheap Intel processors.

From this point of view, Tang Huan, a grassroots engineer, still admires Sanders, a lone wolf in Silicon Valley.

If you have money, everyone can make money together. I will consider AMD and Japanese semiconductor companies together, and even raise the priority separately. Tang Huan responded with a big laugh, and replied directly to Sanders.

If this is the case, then my trip is really worthwhile. Sanders said with satisfaction, I don't know how AMD can meet this standard?

Have you heard that IBM has started to enter the field of personal computers? Tang Huan stared at Sanders and asked tentatively.

Saunders shrugged. So what, IBM is so big, it can do anything in the industry alone, and no one can stop it.

That's not the problem. Tang Huan paused, I heard that most of the software and hardware of their personal computers will be purchased from outside IBM, and it seems that Intel has been inspected. Don't you think AMD should also prepare in advance and seize Are you taking this chance?

Sanders rolled his eyes and smiled, I understand, Apple is bound to be affected when IBM enters the field of personal computers, and your software products mainly serve Macs. Are you planning for a rainy day?

Tang Huan nodded, Zheru has made a lot of money on the Macintosh platform, and the entanglement of interests has already deepened. It is estimated that it will be difficult to become IBM's software development partner, so I need to inquire about some information in advance through other channels, and AMD is a good candidate, plus you are flexible and eclectic.

Speaking of this, Tang Huan smiled meaningfully, If AMD enters IBM's eyes, then it is only necessary to report the relevant technical points of IBM's personal computer without notice.

Okay, Sanders agreed without much thought, or else he was a critic.

Tang Huan smiled lightly, approached Shi Chongtang, and ordered in front of Sanders: Notify the representatives of Toshiba Semiconductor, Hitachi Semiconductor, and Fujitsu Semiconductor that we have identified a partner from the United States, and there are still two places left. Born among the three of them.

Two peaches kill three warriors? Shi Chongtang whispered.

Tang Huan glanced at the other party, That's right, let's see who among the three can make it to the end.
