Silicon Valley

In the afternoon, Henry came to Apple and saw Jobs at first sight. Jobs wore an Armani black top, LEVIS dark blue jeans, and New Balance sneakers, while everyone around him was in suits! In Henry's impression, Jobs's dressing style is almost always like this, black top, blue jeans, and rarely changes. And this can be seen on the side of Jobs's unusual. If you have to worry about what to eat or wear every day, you will be less productive at work!

Henry has never been particularly particular about clothes, as long as it is comfortable to wear. However, he has a special designer to design clothes for him, and he never thinks about what kind of clothes to wear anyway.

Hello, Mr. Jobs! Henry walked forward with a hearty smile and greeted him.

Hello, Mr. Williams! Jobs stared at Henry, faintly feeling a powerful aura surrounding him, confident? majesty? Domineering? It seems to have both.

After Henry greeted several high-level executives around him, he took the lead and led everyone into the company.

After arriving in the office, when everyone was seated, Henry looked at Jobs and asked with a smile, Mr. Jobs, what do you think of the MacBook and iMac I designed?

Masterpiece!!! Jobs praised without hesitation, It's the best design of this century, it's perfect!

Haha... Henry smiled lightly and said lightly, It's alright! The heart said, if I designed the iPhone, iPad, and Apple version of the iPod, you wouldn't be able to throw yourself into the ground?

Henry looked at Jobs, then glanced at the surrounding Apple executives, and said, Although these two products have good ideas, I don't want Apple products to become martyrs because they are too bad!

Apple's products stand for excellence!

Apple products represent fashion trends!

Therefore, to describe it in Chinese. It is 'if you don't make a sound, it will be a blockbuster'! That is to say, if we don't do it, we must make a work that can shock the world!!!

clap clap clap! ! !

As soon as Henry finished speaking, everyone immediately applauded involuntarily.

Jobs' eyes flashed with excitement and excitement. What Henry said was too much to his taste, and this was what he was going to do!

Afterwards, Henry chatted with them for a while about the future development of the company. Twenty minutes later, Henry was ready to leave Apple. As he left, Henry patted Jobs on the shoulder and said earnestly, I've never missed anyone. I hope you don't disappoint me!

Jobs nodded heavily. A high-ranking genius with both authority and wisdom trusted him so much, Jobs immediately felt that he was greatly encouraged, and the whole person suddenly became refreshed and full of confidence!

Ten years ago, Jobs was young and frivolous and mighty;

Ten years later, Jobs has matured through setbacks.

It took ten years. Jobs was reborn from the cocoon and turned into a butterfly! Henry is now the best place to hire him as Apple's CEO! Moreover, when Steve Jobs needed trust most when he returned to Apple, Henry gave him trust, which undoubtedly made him feel dead and moved for the death of a confidant!

Henry then went to Williams Electronics, and then transferred the iPod division to Apple.

Now, Henry is preparing to enter the computer industry in a big way, and the importance of graphics cards is self-evident. In fact, Henry already owns a graphics card company. This company is called 3dfx, which was founded in 1994. It is a 3D graphics card production and manufacturing company jointly established by Silicon Graphics, DEC, MIPS under ARM and other companies. Henry holds more than 65% of the company. .

Henry was surprised at first when he saw Silicon Graphics that they were going to create 3dfx. Because Henry already remembered what kind of company 3dfx was in his memory. 3dfx launched its first graphics card called Voodoo, which soon dominated the 3d graphics card industry. Next, the Voodoo2 graphics card was launched. Once the graphics card was released, it has reached the point of loneliness and defeat, basically monopolizing the entire 3D graphics card market!

The prestige of 3dfx is like no other! ! !

However, 3dfx made a mistake in its positioning and spent a lot of money to acquire graphics card production factories, which reduced the intensity of research and development, and was overtaken by later pursuers, and was eventually acquired by NVIDIA graphics card company.

However, with Henry in this world, the acquisition targets must be exchanged!

Founded in 1993, NVIDIA is a graphics card company that designs fabless IC semiconductors based on smart core chipsets. Because there is only a design department, the expenditure is not large, and the funds are used for the design of the chip. Therefore, NVIDIA is developing rapidly.

Computers need graphics cards, game consoles need graphics cards, and mobile phones will also need graphics cards in the future... Therefore, in order to reduce the number of opponents and obtain the technology of the other party, 3dfx also has to go on the road of acquisition, one road goes black!

But before that, Henry decided to take back the shares of 3dfx from DEC in the United States. Not only that, Henry is also ready to directly accept DEC.

DEC (American Digital Equipment Corporation) has about 130,000 employees and a market value of more than 10 billion US dollars. It is the largest computer manufacturing company in the United States after IBM. They also have very good research/development departments and large-scale production. factory. However, from 1991 to 1994, DEC lost more than $4 billion! In order to make up for the large financial deficit, the company CEO plans to sell all other parts of DEC that can be divided. Thus, the global sale kicked off!

However, this time the big sale was all taken over by Henry!

Williams Electronics bought the storage unit of DEC, which makes hard disk drives, for $400 million; Williams Network bought the database software research and development unit for $100 million.

However, what makes Henry value DEC the most is their Alpha architecture processor, which is a very good computer chip processor, and it is also the fastest processor among RISC processors, and its speed can make Intel's fastest x86 processor. The processor is overshadowed! ! !

However, due to the wrong development strategy of DEC, the product was not promoted successfully!

Later, Intel in the Pentium, PentiumPro and PentiumII processors, have used a lot of Alpha processor patents. However, at this time, the DEC company was seriously ill, and faced with the deep-pocketed Intel, it could only take the money and agree to settle out of court...

However, the thin dead camel is bigger than the horse.

After the DEC company was finished, the talented engineers who went out of the Alpha architecture processor department made AMD!

AMD has always been the second child in ten thousand years. Compared with Intel, there is a general gap. However, when AMD received several engineers from DEC's Alpha architecture, it immediately turned into a phoenix, and successively launched k7 and k8 processors. , directly counterattacked Intel Corporation, and successfully staged a magnificent feat of ** ~ Si counterattack Gao Fushuai!

AMD has since risen, and Intel has never dared to despise it!

Henry has already bought ARM and MIPS on the mobile processor to complete the layout, but on the PC, he still lacks a powerful weapon to fight against Intel. Now, the target has appeared, and that is DEC's Alpha architecture processor!

In 1995, Compaq would officially launch an acquisition from DEC, and Henry couldn't wait any longer...
