God-level Trader of Rebirth

Silicon Valley is located in San Francisco, California, USA, passing through a narrow valley nearly 50 kilometers from Santa Clara to San Jose.

Therefore, there is a word "gu" in its name.

Of course, you can't find the name "Silicon Valley" on the map, it's just an alias for a region.

Silicon Valley was known early on for the design and manufacture of silicon chips.

At the end of the 80s.

creature, space.Research institutes for emerging technologies such as marine, communications, and energy materials have emerged one after another, objectively becoming the cradle of high-tech in the United States.

After more than ten years of development, Silicon Valley has become synonymous with semiconductor industry clusters around the world, as well as the world's most famous electronics industry cluster.

In the United States, universities have a very high degree of participation in scientific research, and a considerable part of scientific research technologies are born in university laboratories.

The main location feature of Silicon Valley is the nearby top universities with strong scientific research capabilities.

These mainly include: Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley, as well as several other campuses of the University of California and Santa Clara University.

Besides.

Silicon Valley also attracts the world's best technical talents and gathers more than [-]% of the venture capital in the United States.

Especially in the 80s, after Apple went public, tens of thousands of technology companies have sprung up here, and the greatest ideas in the world are emerging all the time!
Similarly, this is also a pilgrimage site for countless technology enthusiasts!
"We are the cornerstone of the new economy, the cradle of prosperity, the benchmark for all other countries to emulate, capitalism in its purest expression."

This sentence comes from the evaluation of John Doerr, the head of venture capital in Silicon Valley, which appropriately shows the pivotal position of Silicon Valley in the modern technology and economic landscape.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Weidong decided that as long as there is a chance, he must come here to have a look.

We can't tell others what the world is like by hearsay.

Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you make the most objective evaluation.

At the same time, we also need a mirror, knowing the strengths of others, so that we can realize our own shortcomings, so that we can work hard and strive for the top.

American West Coast.

A Conqueror commercial vehicle slowly stopped in front of a big tree.

Afterwards, several young people jumped down from the top one after another.

Raising his right hand to block the scorching sun, looking at the gray asphalt road in the distance, the low European-style buildings, and a few old Ford pickup trucks parked at the door, Li Yun and others showed disappointment on their faces.

"Mr. Chen, before you came here, you said that this is the largest high-tech industrial zone in the United States. Why is it here? I don't think it's any different from South China City, or even worse."

On the way, after listening to Chen Weidong's story about the development history of Silicon Valley, they all wanted to see the largest high-tech industrial zone in the United States with a humble and apprehensive attitude.

As a result, the scene in front of them disappointed them greatly.

"Their industrial zone is in the southern region, and this is just the office address of those companies."

Chen Weidong took a deep breath of fresh air and explained while looking at the sparse figures in the distance.

"Hey, there are a lot of such small companies in our country."

Looking at the cabin in the distance, Xiang Shaohua felt that the so-called high-tech of the Americans was nothing more than that.

Judging by his attitude, it is obvious that he regards the company here as the same type as the domestic leather bag company.

Chen Weidong smiled and explained: "Silicon Valley is full of economic miracles and people who get rich overnight. Don't underestimate these small houses. Many world-renowned big companies were born from the garages of such small houses. : HP, Apple, Google, etc.”

The reason why Silicon Valley is famous is not because of how profitable it is, but because of its "disruptive innovation" ability.

Ordinary innovation is to take a step forward on the same track, while Silicon Valley's innovation capability is to open up a new track and attract more users and companies to join it, gradually becoming the mainstream track, while the old The track gradually became deserted.

For example, Sony launched a digital camera in 1981, which eventually replaced film cameras and became the mainstream of the market. This is a disruptive innovation.

Innovations that involve all walks of life and can shift the growth direction of the human technology tree are called "technological revolutions."

Obviously, this kind of innovation is much more difficult than ordinary innovation.

Moreover, in many cases, it is unpredictable and has a great chance.

But Silicon Valley's ability lies in turning accident into a high probability event.

From Ethernet, graphical user interface, to personal computers, the Internet, etc., Silicon Valley has continuously produced "disruptive innovations".

It has continuously incubated companies that can open up new tracks and lead the times.

This is the best part of Silicon Valley.

While talking about the core philosophy of Silicon Valley, Chen Weidong walked towards a wooden detached house not far away. There were several people in small groups with Asian faces.

It attracted the frequent glances of many passers-by.

Just then, a strange voice sounded behind them.

"Are you also Chinese?"

"what?"

"You are."

Chen Weidong turned around and saw a well-mannered middle-aged man about 50 years old in a white shirt and black square-rimmed glasses not far away, staring at them excitedly.

"Are you here to find a job in Silicon Valley?" The middle-aged man trotted a few steps and approached the crowd.

"Haha, old man, we are indeed from China, but we are here to visit, not to look for a job."

Chen Jie grinned and explained to him first.

"So that's it! I don't think you guys seem to be academics."

The middle-aged man held his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand, smiled slightly, and glanced at Li Yun and the others behind them intentionally or unintentionally.

After some conversation.

Everyone knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was called Ma Jiancheng.

In the early 80s.

The domestic economy is turning around. Many people think that if there is no world war, there is no need to spend money on pot construction. We should concentrate financial resources to carry out economic construction.

Therefore, a lot of scientific research projects, civilian industries, and other projects that burn money have been greatly streamlined.

Correspondingly, countless scientific research personnel have been abolished, and their posts have been transferred.

Ma Jiancheng told them that in the years from 80 to 84, Huaxia decisively chose the mainframe project, namely: the first generation of the Great Wall of the 863 project (the earliest predecessor of Suguang).

As for the island country, at this time, regardless of technology and market, it is basically in sync with the United States.

However, the islanders, who have always been arrogant, feel that they can rise to the top of Asia in terms of mainframes, so they started the development of mainframes blindly and unrealistically.

However, in the design and development process, many technical difficulties make it difficult for the island country to move forward.

In order to achieve early technological monopoly, the United States misled the development of mainframe computers in the island country in the form of scientific and technological exchanges, hindered the development of large integrated circuits like xl, and led the island country into a wrong path.

In 1982, Huaxia had completed the manufacture and development of the Great Wall 1st generation mainframe and the Shuguang 1st supercomputer.

At that time, Huaxia had just opened up, so it wanted to know the distance between itself and the international high-tech technical standards, for fear that it would enter the era of "making cars behind closed doors".

In 1982, the Great Wall No. 2 mainframe computer and its important technical data were brought to the "New York International Science and Technology Fair" and "Tokyo New Technology Exchange Conference" by the naive Chinese people at that time.

At that time, they didn't understand what technical barriers were, and adopted the consistent "inferiority weakness" of Chinese people, and walked into the so-called international science and technology palace with their heads down.

In Tokyo, when the island country experts discovered that China's computer technology was far ahead of them, they used the many academic materials obtained from the United States to defraud the Chinese people in a very ugly way.

They told the Chinese: "Your Great Wall has long been a very backward product."

But in the United States, the Pentagon has paid great attention to China's superb mainframe computer technology.

The two entered the era of exascale computing almost at the same time, and they felt a lot of pressure.

However, the thinking of Americans is different from that of Asians. It is linear and simplistic, especially in the field of science and technology. It is a bit deliberately rigid. One is one and two is two.

Therefore, they hope to secretly formulate an "advanced computer technology agreement" with China to control the flow of this technology into countries such as "Albania" and "Romania".

However, Huaxia did not agree.

The island country, on the other hand, took the opportunity of this exchange meeting to develop its own so-called mainframe computing system, "Showa 1" in the second year.

At that time, the precision machining of the island country was indeed better than that of Huaxia, so the appearance of the products was very beautiful, not as "rustic" as that of Huaxia.

Huaxia experts made an evaluation and comparison, and once gave up the Great Wall and Shuguang.

At the beginning of 1984, after the 863 project started in full swing, the project was not ordered to be dismantled because there were manpower guarantees at that time.

However, the report submitted by the Huaxia Academy of Sciences stated that the Great Wall and Shuguang are recommended for civilian use because their technology is at a backward stage compared to Western countries.

It was precisely because of this move that his most advanced technology was leaked to the outside world, all related projects were shut down, and the research team of the project had to be disbanded.

In the next ten years, the island countries and the West made breakthroughs in large-scale computers one after another.

Computers have entered the era of ten trillion operations per second.

But by the time Huaxia reacted, it was already too late.

Even if the above wanted to restart the project, it was put on hold because the researchers of the year could not be found.

And he was a researcher who participated in the Shuguang 1 mainframe project back then.

Because he was unwilling to accept job transfer, and he didn’t want to use what he had learned all his life, in the end, like many researchers at that time, he regrettably left his hometown and came to the United States through a friend’s introduction to continue working on large-scale computer science. research work.

Ma Jiancheng told them that there are not a few researchers like him.

There are more than 20 people he met in Silicon Valley alone, and they all came here for various reasons.
