Traversing the courtyard

Wei Dong didn't intend to directly push the chip to the market, he had already used this chip, nodded and said: "No problem, I am also a shareholder of Intel."

Arthur Locke breathed a sigh of relief. If the 8008 was launched too early, the 4004 chip would have no profit margin.

"Thank you Mr. Yi for your understanding."

"You're welcome." Wei Dong asked: "Now that the 8008 has been developed, what are the plans for the next chip?"

"Yes, we plan to double the performance."

Ted Hoff, head of Intel's application department, handed over a proposal to Wei Dongdao.

Wei Dong took a look and simply increased the number of transistors from 8008 in 3500 to more than 6000. Due to the support of the instruction set, it is estimated that the performance will be greatly improved.

Wei Dong has long been dissatisfied with the 8008's double-row pins. He is used to the square layout of later generations, and he wanted to raise his opinion a long time ago. He said: "Now the 8008 only has 19 pins. , the overall performance will have a qualitative leap.”

Ted Hoff, head of Intel's application department, thought about it and said: "If the design with more pins is adopted, the packaging process will have to be changed. There are a series of problems in the middle."

Arthur Locke said: "Yes, the technology has reached its peak now, and the next step is to upgrade the production line."

Upgrading the production line is also a necessary investment. Weidong and Intel have invested a lot of money in research and development before, but the results have not yet come out.

After discussing the research and development work and the next step of chip development together, Wei Dong and he discussed other work together. Wei Dong came this time to determine the next step of chip development, so he gave it a code name of 8080 by the way.

Now that the task is completed, Weidong will leave. The layout has already been completed. In the future, the chip business will be jointly owned with Intel. Now that he has embarked on the right path, there is no need for Weidong to guide him.

If we don't rely on Intel's research and development capabilities, Weidong really has no confidence to successfully maintain the correct and reasonable development of this chip for decades. Now the X86 instruction set belongs to Weidong, and the layout of the chip has been completed. Then the layout of the software.

As long as you hold the chips and software in your own hands, Yixin Technology will become the overlord of the IT industry.

When Weidong returned to the villa, he had phone calls with Bian Jianye of the Los Angeles branch and Rogier of the Virginia company respectively, and made an appointment to go to Los Angeles tomorrow.

When Qin Xiayue and the others returned to the villa at night, Wei Dong told about going to Los Angeles tomorrow, Qin Xiayue was surprised: "Are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Yeah, Intel and I have finished talking about the matter. The next step is Yan's arrangement for investment in San Jose. A batch of office buildings will be built for rent."

The land in Xiangjiang Central is not easy to buy, so Weidong can focus on the beautiful country. In the 70s, the beautiful country transformed from a manufacturing power to a tertiary industry. Although the manufacturing industry is gone, real estate and other industries are still booming. Development, buying more land to build office buildings for rent, is a good business in any age.

Yan Jiedi said melancholy: "Why so fast?"

Weidong sent the five girls to school in the morning, and was about to drive by himself, when the phone rang, and a crisp bird voice came from it: "Boss, guess who I am?"

Wei Dong froze for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Did you make a mistake?"

The inside said tenderly: "Boss, have you forgotten our sisters?"

sisters?Or a person from the beautiful country?

It suddenly occurred to me, could it be the sisters Sharon and Sati?
Said: "Are you Sharon or Sati?"

"Oh, boss, you finally remembered our sisters. We will be in front of your villa in two minutes."

I don't know if it was Sadie or Sharon who called, but after finishing speaking, there was a busy signal in the receiver.

Weidong shook his head, Sharon and Shady came to pick him up overnight?It should be like this, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the two sisters showing up here early in the morning.

Weidong walked out of the villa with a suitcase in a guilty conscience. Fortunately, the two sisters, Sharon and Shadi, had big breasts but they still had brains. They knew to park the RV a little far away and waited. Which one opened the small window to reveal a small hand and beckoned.

When Weidong walked a few steps to the door, the car door opened. Shadi stretched out her jade hand to help Weidong come up, then sat on her lap, and said softly, "The boss didn't even know he came to Los Angeles to play with us."

Wei Dong smiled and said: "Isn't this here to find you!"

The wonderful journey has also begun.

It was already dark when it arrived in Los Angeles, Wei Dong said, "Where do you live?"

"We rented a house, are you going?"

"Of course, I can't go to the hotel by myself!"

Sati smiled and said, "That's right, I would have given you a rest along the way if I knew it earlier."

Sharon took Weidong back to her house. When Weidong got out of the car, he saw a few burly men having a barbecue party in the yard next door, and a lot of beer bottles had been lost on the ground.

A bearded man held a beer mug and said with a smile, "Shadi, is this the boy you're looking for?"

After speaking, a few people blew hooligan whistles and clinked wine glasses and screamed loudly, dressed like hippies.

Wei Dong frowned and asked, "Is this the place you live in?"

Sadie said helplessly: "Don't pay attention to them, they are just a bunch of hooligans."

The three of them entered the room, and the people on the opposite side stopped playing, as if they had won a victory.

The two women drove Weidong to the company's headquarters in Virginia and directly led him to Rogier's office, before the two women left to buy a villa.

The Virginia company is mainly engaged in the sales of calculators, Baofeng home appliance chain supermarkets, and Baofeng theaters. Weidong listened to Rogier's report, and then followed him to inspect the flagship store in Los Angeles. .

It is said that the area of ​​the flagship store is not large. The thousands of square meters of the store are full of various home appliances. Now Qiuyu Group has half of its own products, from large air conditioners, refrigerators, color TVs, to bread machines, egg beaters, hair dryers, and hair dryers. .

Even though it was mid-morning, there were quite a few people buying in the shop, Wei Dong looked at it and was very satisfied.

Then I went to a few other stores and went to two movie theaters. After some visits, today is over.

The next day Weidong came to the branch of the Autumn Rain Group in Los Angeles, where he was in charge of the farm and the research institute, as well as the purchase of grain, scrap iron and other materials, and occasionally some production line and other materials.

First, after listening to Bian Jianye's report, the affairs of the branch office are much easier, as long as they work step by step.

Wei Dong said: "Recently, the company decided to enter the real estate industry in Los Angeles and San Jose, purchase and build a number of office buildings, and build a production base in San Jose."

Before that, all the money was invested in Xiangjiang, but now that the money has come out, some of Wei Dong also set his sights on Los Angeles, first hoarding land and building houses on a small scale, and then gradually expanding the scale.

"Okay, I will hurry up and form a real estate company."

Weidong discussed Bian Jianye of the real estate plan. If you say that Weidong’s business management in the past two years is not in vain, and he has his own company, he often has to read various reports. All the work has been arranged, and Bian Jianye only needs to proceed according to the plan.

First look in the market to see if there is a suitable office building for sale as a whole. If there is, buy it directly.

Bian Jianye said, "Boss, do you want to invest in San Francisco?"

Wei Dongdao: "Then put it in the second batch. First get things done in Los Angeles and San Jose before investing in San Francisco."

Speaking of Weidong in San Francisco, I think of Li Xiaolong. It seems that in history, he returned to Xiangjiang in 71 to develop. Why don't you go to the martial arts school yourself, maybe you can lure Li Xiaolong into your own film company?
Even if you haven't registered yet, isn't it a very simple thing?
In the blink of an eye, Weidong lived in Los Angeles for three or four days before letting Shady and Sharon send him back to Stanford.

This time it was not so crazy on the road, but it was still late when we arrived at the villa, Weidong took the suitcase into the villa, Qin Xiayue came over to take the suitcase in surprise and said: "Why didn't you say anything when you went home? "

"Isn't this a surprise for you?"

Wei Dong took out two bouquets of roses from behind and handed one to Qin Xiayue, and Yan Jiedi who was behind took Wei Dong and hugged Wei Dong for a kiss.

Only then did Qin Xiayue take a bite from the other side in a decent manner.

Only then did Wei Dong say with satisfaction: "That's right."

"Give you a good face."

The family of three talked about their thoughts after the farewell, watching Xiao Dang and Huai Hua pull Wen Xiuyun to hide away.

After dinner, Wei Dong said: "Tomorrow I'm going to Zhenfan Martial Art Museum, will you go?"

If Qin Xiayue hadn't practiced martial arts, Wei Dong wouldn't have asked.

Qin Xiayue said with a smile: "You are going to find Li Xiaolong, did you know each other before?"

"You also know Li Xiaolong?"

Qin Xiayue said: "I've been there several times, and even played against him."

Qin Xiayue talked for a long time before Weidong realized that Wen Xiuyun's family opened a martial arts gym, how could the two sides have some relationship, and they could continue to be brothers and sisters according to their seniority.

It's okay to be in Los Angeles before, but now I'm studying at Stanford. Before that, Wen Xiuyun took Qin Xiayue and others to Zhenfan Martial Art Museum when he had time, and the two sides reported their backgrounds and continued their relationship.

Wei Dong asked: "So you didn't talk about this before?"

Wen Xiuyun said: "Boss, you didn't ask, by the way, why should I ask my senior brother?"

Of course it’s filming, and Li Xiaolong has broken box office records for Asian movies several times. Even Wei Dong can write the simple plot of Li Xiaolong’s movie, and he can form a film company and shoot directly. Although he doesn’t make much money, he can It was also to find something for myself to do, and asked, "Tell me about Li Xiaolong's situation."

"Okay, boss."

Wen Xiuyun briefly talked about the story of Li Xiaolong. He was born in San Francisco in 40 years and became a citizen of the beautiful country. He was named Li Zhenfan at birth and later changed to Li Zhenfan. In April 1962, he established the first The home public "Zhenfan National Art Museum".

What many people don't know is that Li Xiaolong is still a child star. He starred in the movie "Golden Gate Girl" when he was three months old. ", "Xi Lu Xiang" and other movies.

Wen Xiuyun smiled and said, "Boss, do you know that senior brother Li is a child star, but his school is a mess, even in the fifth grade for three years."

"Really, there is such a dark history?" Wei Dong said in surprise.

"Yeah, when I was in school, I got into fights every three days and was expelled from school!"

Wen Xiuyun briefly talked about Li Xiaolong's going to school. He still fought with foreign students, and was expelled from the school in the end.

His grades in school are not good, but his talent in martial arts is surprisingly excellent. He has learned Taijiquan, Hongquan, Cai Lifoquan and other boxing styles, but he felt that these boxing techniques were not very practical in actual combat, so he proposed to his friend Zhang Zhuoqing that he wanted to learn Wing Chun After that, under Zhang Zhuoqing's recommendation, Bruce Lee worshiped Ye Wen as his teacher and learned Wing Chun.

Wen Xiuyun said regretfully: "It's a pity that I learned Hongquan, and I just continued to have a little relationship with Senior Brother Li, and the relationship is not very good."

This is normal, it is taught by a master, as long as you don't betray the master, you are a brother, but such brothers have to deal with themselves, whether the relationship is good or not is another matter.

Wen Xiuyun was studying at Stanford, and he only visited once when he was visiting San Francisco. Li Xiaolong, who was almost thirty, was also very kind, and later took Qin Xiayue and others to visit several times.

Wei Dongdao: "So the relationship between you and Li Xiaolong is really good?"

Qin Xiayue smiled and said, "Yes, I have fought him before, but unfortunately I haven't beaten him."

"See if you can. If you can beat it, it won't be a big deal." Wei Dong laughed.

Qin Xiayue said angrily: "Chou Weidong, I learned Jeet Kune Do from Brother Li, don't underestimate me, I'll clean you up later, so don't cry."

"You went to learn Jeet Kune Do?"

Qin Xiayue said proudly: "Of course, I have been practicing for a long time."
