Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 467 Commission
Sure enough, as long as Wei Dong proposed to send money to the old father-in-law and the third master, Yan Jiedi had resistance to going home, so he gave up the plan to go home.

Weidong went upstairs and got the letter from his father-in-law. Apart from the family routine, it was that life was not good. The three sons didn't know how hard it was to feel sorry for themselves, and they were very stingy to themselves. Moved to the house allocated by the unit.

After getting married, the second child, Yan Jiefang, and the third child, Yan Jiekuang, both wanted to get some things from Yan Pugui. How could Yan Pugui, who was the most frugal and industrious, do what they wanted? I won't come back to visit.

After reading Yan Bugui's letter, Yan Jiedi said angrily: "Forget it, I won't go back, and then I, the youngest, won't be able to say anything, and none of the three brothers will listen to me, so you can give money if you want. "

This is what Weidong wanted. It was too difficult to go back, and besides, he took away more than a dozen people. If he went back, he didn't know if he would be arrested.

"Then write a letter and I'll send it back across the river."

Yan Jiedi said angrily: "Then when I am in a better mood, I will write a letter, and I will know that writing a letter will make me cry every day."

Before the third master Yan Pugui thought that he could get money from Weidong, as long as there was anything that needed money, Weidong would send it by post, but he didn’t want to treat the third master badly if he thought he had it. The old man is pretty good, at least he is not the same as those beasts that suck human blood.

Although Yan Jiedi said so, she still went upstairs and wrote to Wei Dongdao: "Go and mail it when you are free."

Holding the thick envelope with some photos inside, Wei Dong asked, "Have you checked the background? There are some inappropriate places."

"Don't worry, they were all taken indoors."

It's just a trivial matter, and Wei Dong didn't need to check it, he just put it in his bag and went there when he had time.

The next day we went to Tsuen Wan together for a day, got rid of Xiao Dang and Huai Hua, the two obtrusive people, and Wei Dong lived a shameless life in Deep Water Bay Villa until the master called to urge Qin Xiayue Then I packed my luggage and went back to my parents' house to see my grandfather.

Two days later, Yan Jiedi couldn't take it anymore, she woke up in the morning and said, "Weidong, take a day off today, you don't have to come back tonight, let me take a day off."

Wei Dong smiled and said, "This is my house, where are you driving me?"

Yan Jiedi said: "Don't think I don't know, what happened to the Virginia company in Los Angeles? And your beautiful female secretary, besides, you didn't hook up with a few beautiful female classmates in school? "

Wei Dong called Qu and said, "I didn't hook up with a female classmate!"

Yan Jiedi smiled and said, "That means the female secretary Mi Xiaozhou and Virginia are recognized?"

Wei Dong said embarrassingly: "Xie Di, you are wronging me."

Yan Jiedi said: "I don't care, I'm tossed by you until midnight every day, and I also want to take a rest."

Wei Dong smacked his lips, this is tossing Yan Jiedi too much, and said quickly: "Well, I will take a day off today, and continue at another day."

The situation is not clear now, Wei Dong would not stay outside even if he was killed, there are only these two holidays throughout the year, of course he lives at home peacefully.

When Weidong came home at night, a smile appeared on the corner of Yan Jiedi's mouth, and he never talked about the topic of letting Weidong stay outside in the morning.

After a few days like this, Qin Xiayue also came back from visiting relatives. Weidong just paid attention to the company's recent situation, and was still the same as before, dawdling in the office every day.

Even if Bian Jianye reported that he had bought the instruction set for [-] US dollars, Weidong just let Weidong say "Oh, thank you for your hard work, and then fish every day."

The summer in Xiangjiang is really hot, and I don’t have the energy to do anything.

Ah Zhen didn't stay in London all the time, she came back a week before Qin Xiayue started school, and brought a lot of British specialties to Qin Xiayue and Yan Jiedi, and they exchanged gifts with each other, they are still good sisters.

Wei Dong asked: "Ah Zhen, how are the internships at the branch offices in London and Bali?"

A Zhen said: "London is faster, and it is already working normally. I bought a new office building and the site of the research institute, and the researchers are also recruiting normally. The construction of Bali has just started, and the research institute will not be completed until autumn." Established, other institutes are selecting sites and have not yet been constructed.”

Although Ah Zhen spends most of her time in the manor with Ruan Tao and Ruan Mi, she still took the time to travel around Europe, and the report was decent, and also dispelled the suspicion of Qin Xiayue and Yan Jiedi, who thought they were hiding watching them.

After the report was over, Qin Xiayue smiled and said, "Thanks for your hard work, A-Zhen. Wei Dong left her in Europe for such a long summer vacation."

A-Zhen smiled and said, "Sister, you are being polite, this is what I should do."

Wei Dongdao: "Now we are familiarizing ourselves with the company, and after Ah Zhen graduates, I will gradually take over all the business at home."

Ah Zhen is the most capable of these people. In this era, she can be admitted to Xiangjiang University with her own ability. She also majored in business administration, and her grades have always been among the best. She has complained many times that she is not capable and doesn't understand many things. It just so happens that as long as she persists for a while, Ah Zhen will be able to graduate and start work next year.

Yan Jiedi asked: "Then what about yourself?"

Wei Dong smiled and said, "I'll stay with you at home, it's fine if we want some babies."

Qin Xiayue poohed: "Chou Weidong, what are you talking about, go to Jiexidi and ignore this big villain."

After speaking, Yan Jiedi, who was blushing, went back to the room.

Ah Zhen was a little confused, and said nervously: "A Wei, sister Xiaoyue is angry, what should I do?"

Wei Dong patted Ah Zhen's little hand, held it together and laughed, "Silly girl, Miss Xiaoyue wants me to spend more time with you today!"

Without waiting for Ah Zhen to reply, she picked her up and walked towards the room.

Ah Zhen also realized that it was Qin Xiayue and Yan Jiedi who gave herself some time to make out. Hongxia climbed onto her pretty face again, buried her head in Weidong's neck, and let Weidong carry her into the bathroom.

With the addition of A-Zhen in the family, Wei Dong's happiness increased by another three points. In a blink of an eye, the summer vacation came to an end. Wei Dong took A-Zhen and chartered a flight to send Qin Xiayue and others to Los Angeles again.

First inspected the progress of the branch office and the Virginia company in Los Angeles, and then rushed to the Stanford villa to prepare for the start of school.

Contacted Gordon Moore at Intel for a meeting the next day,

Ah Zhen has been following Weidong to deal with the company's affairs, and asked Weidong: "I feel that you are particularly concerned about Intel's affairs?"

Weidong really doesn't care much about other businesses now, he just makes a development plan and hands it over to the people below, like the movie theater plan, bookstore plan, e-buy department store plan, etc., just look at the report. It's over, don't ask about specific things.

Wei Dong smiled and said, "Otherwise, why would I hire so many executives over there? As long as there are no accidents, I won't bother to ask. If I need to make a decision on the selection of shops, it can only mean that they are not qualified."

Ah Zhen said: "Then you didn't say why you are so interested in this 4004 chip and this instruction set?"

Weidong just said: "In the future, you will understand the benefits of this chip. There is a market worth hundreds of billions of dollars. The core is the manufacture of chips. Doing a good job in this chip business will be cheaper than all our previous businesses." many."

Now Qiuyu Group has earned nearly 30 billion Hong Kong dollars in more than half a year, and there are a large number of properties. Now Weidong said that the sum of these is not worth the small chip business, which made Ah Zhen very surprised. How can this chip make so much money?
IBM's market value is only more than 300 billion yuan. How many IBM companies are there?

The next day, Weidong took Azhen to the Intel building before 9 o'clock, and Chief Operating Officer Gordon Moore received Weidong and Azhen.

After chatting about the weather, Weidong asked, "How is the progress of the 4004 chip?"

Chief Operating Officer Gordon Moore apologized: "Yi, the company is now fully committed to the development of a new generation of random access memory, and it does not pay enough attention to the development of this chip, and the progress is still slow."

Wei Dong said: "Don't you think this chip can be used in many instruments besides registers?"

It was the first time Gordon Moore heard such a statement. All the chips before were designed for special instruments, applied in special workplaces, and only did a single type of data processing.

Just like the first microprocessor should be developed by the military of the beautiful country, it is used in the central air data computer composed of 14 chips in the F-6 Tomcat fighter: CADC (CenterAir Data Computer), although its structure is more advanced than 4004. To be simple, the speed is only 9.15KHz, just to calculate the data of the air.

These chips have a single function, and the application scenarios are very limited. To change the scenario, a new chip processor must be redesigned.

Gordon Moore was surprised: "You mean this 4004 chip is universal?"

Weidong nodded and said: "I have studied it. The previous chip processors were very simple and had limited computing power, but now the 4004 chipset is different. The 4-bit microprocessor integrates 2250 transistors. The distance between transistors It is 10 microns, capable of processing 4bit data, 6 calculations per second, frequency of 108KHz, and front side bus of 0.74MHz (4bit). This kind of processing capability can be used not only for counters, but also for other scenarios. It worked."

Gordon thought about it before saying: "Yi, thank you for your reminder. You have provided the company with a new idea. Before, you underestimated the value of the 4004 chip. Perhaps the commercial prospect of the chip will be very broad."

Wei Dong smiled and said politely: "I am a shareholder of the company, so of course I have to think more about the company."

Gordon said: "It happens that you are here, let's have a short meeting to discuss the prospects of the 4004 chip."

Gordon is not able to change the company's research plan after listening to Weidong's words, he still needs to communicate more with some high-level executives.

This is what it should mean, Wei Dong and Gordon and Chairman Arthur Locke, Andy Grove, Ted Hoff, head of Intel's application department, and some engineers opened a During the seminar, the prospect of the 4004 chip was analyzed, and a consensus was quickly reached. Next, the company will recruit people to advance the progress of the 4004 chip, and then negotiate with Busicom about the ownership of the chip.

After the meeting, we ate the company's working meal together at noon, which was just fast food such as hamburgers, chicken chops, French fries, and Coke.

Wei Dong came to Gordon's office again after a short break and said, "I wonder if the company has any plans for the chip next step?"

Gordon said, "Not yet."

Wei Dongdao: "This is my chip plan, and I want to entrust Intel Corporation for research and development."

Ah Zhen took out a document from her briefcase and handed it to Gordon with both hands: "Please have a look."

Weidong bought the instruction set because he wanted to commission the development of the next-generation 8008 chip in advance. By the way, let Intel continue to improve the instruction set. The plan is the requirement for the 8008 chip. The frequency of the 8008 is 200KHz, and the total number of transistors has reached 3500. It can handle 8-bit data, its performance is twice that of 4004, its speed is 200KHz, it can perform 8-bit operations, and it supports 16-bit address bus and 16-bit data bus.

The performance of such a chip is still too simple, but there is no way. The actual production process and capacity limit the production of higher chips. No matter how advanced the chip is, the current production line needs to be upgraded.

Gordon looked at the requirements, including adding an instruction set to better utilize the performance of the chip, and then said: "Yi, you also know that the best strategy is to develop the 4004 chip first in the short term."

Wei Dong smiled and said: "I'm not in a hurry with this chip. Of course, I will develop the 4004 chip after the 8008 chip. After this research is completed, I still have follow-up chip commissions."

Weidong's strategy is to commission these chips to Intel for development, and then wait for Intel to ask for cooperation, so that Weidong can retain the ownership and instruction set of the chips, and only authorize Intel to develop, produce and sell them. This is the most ideal state.

In this way, Weidong gained the initiative, and Weidong will be able to live comfortably in the next few decades.

Gordon has not yet seen the importance of the instruction set, but discussed the development progress and entrusted funds with Weidong, tentatively, the research and development cost is [-] US dollars.

Wei Dong had no objection to this, and signed the entrustment agreement very readily.

Then he said: "If this instruction set is improved and developed again, then the ownership of this new instruction set still belongs to me."

Gordon smiled and said, "It's what it should be. You've already given the money, and all the results in the middle belong to you."

A lawyer was hired to draft an agreement, which clarified the ownership of the instruction set, and Weidong was relieved that the trip to Stanford had perfectly completed the task.

Promoted the research and development of the 4004 chip, and also commissioned the next step of the development of the 8008 chip. Now the 8008 chip and instruction set also belong to Weidong, laying a solid foundation for future development in the chip field.

Now just wait for Intel to realize the benefits of the instruction set, and then negotiate with Intel. This matter is not in a hurry, just wait for Intel to realize it.
