Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker.

Chapter 222 Capital’s gluttonous feast... begins

Teacher Xiao Zhao has made billions in the Microsoft stock market, and he knows that the Microsoft myth is not over yet.

After the release of Windows 3.1, Microsoft's stock price will continue to rise and will break through the US$ billion mark. The total value of Microsoft shares held by Envision and Wison will exceed US$ billion.

At this time, Xiao Zhao is focusing on Linux development in Hong Kong Island. The first version of Linux has been shared with several world-renowned FTP sites such as the Alliance of American Universities, Yale University, Harvard University, and the European Computing Center. Everyone can download it, and The source code is public.

Linux 1.0 integrates network interfaces such as TCPIP and IPX. The Linux team has customized peripheral drivers for mainstream printers, floppy drives, optical drives, etc., and integrated Intel display chip drivers. At the same time, the Linux version of WPS developed by Kingsoft has also been shared on these sites.

The response was as expected strong, and many programmers developed peripheral drivers immediately.

Now the Linux team is focusing on developing graphics GUI window programs and developing a Linux window version, and this version also integrates the OpenGL graphics program interface standard.

Teacher Xiao Zhao’s eyes are not only focused on Linux, but also extends his tentacles to the gaming field.

Envision CEO Liang Jin reported at the shareholder meeting that two American university graduates, Mike Mowaimi and Alan Adham, co-founded Silicon & Synapse. Teacher Xiao Zhao’s eyes lit up and he invested in it immediately. Two million US dollars of angel investment funds, owning 85% of the shares of Silicon & Synapse.

Well, Blizzard Game Company has acquired it. The instructions from the major shareholder Zhao are simple, let Mike and Allen work hard to develop the game they want. The epic classic game "Warcraft" has been approved in advance.

At the same time, there are the American Westwood game company, the American Electronic Arts game company EA, the British Bullfrog Company, the American Snow Mountain Co., Ltd., and the American Alida Co., Ltd.

In the name of Wison International Investment Co., Ltd., it spent less than US$30 million to acquire all these game companies.

By the way, there is also the American Software Software Company, which is still small now. It is also a startup company established by two college students, Casper Lorenzen and Lena Babton. It was established less than three months ago and Zhao Guoqing only spent five years on it. Acquired 80% of Ruancong shares for one million US dollars.

The two of them also brought a surprise to Teacher Xiao Zhao. The two of them formulated a company plan to design a 3D game engine using the OpenGL graphics programming interface.

Game engines refer to the core components of some programmed editable computer game systems or some interactive real-time graphics applications.

These core components provide game designers with various tools needed to program games. The purpose is to allow game designers to easily and quickly create game programs without having to start from scratch.

Contains rendering engine, that is, "renderer", including two-dimensional image engine and three-dimensional image engine, physics engine, collision detection system, sound effects, script engine, computer animation, artificial intelligence, network engine and scene management, etc.!

If OpenGL provides an interface command standard for graphics programming, the game engine is a program integration that uses OpenGL commands for further development, and is a resource library that can be called by developers.

Just like the resource library in EDA software.

Well, according to the original history, this idea is too forward-thinking and will soon bring Capers and Lena into financial crisis.

But things are different now. With the strong support of Teacher Xiao Zhao, they can just do it boldly. Under normal history, Ruanrong will soon become a pioneer in 3D shooting game engines.

Wison's gaming empire is gradually taking shape, and the addition of these manufacturers has also enhanced Zhao Guoqing's say in the OpenGL standard.

In the chairman's office of Vision Company, Zhao Guoqing was drinking coffee and looking at the computer screen.

China is still under negotiation to join the international Internet, but Hong Kong Island has joined the international Internet two years ago, providing full-featured Internet services. Three months ago, Hong Kong Island and the mainland were connected by optical cable. Teacher Xiao Zhao You can connect to all its laboratories on your computer.

Zhongxun developed an instant messaging software called QQ, with a little penguin logo.

Teacher Xiao Zhao’s QQ number is the only three-digit number 666, and the other registration numbers all start with five digits.

Zhao Guoqing clicked on the communication directory on Little Penguin, double-clicked on Li Shiwang's profile picture in Note 102, and opened the dialog box.

Just type a piece of text: How's it going?

At this time, in the OpenGL-based graphics accelerator card research room on the third floor of the 102 Computing Center, Chief Engineer Assistant Feng Lianjiang hurriedly reported to Chief Engineer Li Shiwang: "Chief Engineer Li, Director Zhao has contacted you and asked how the project is going. Sample?"

Teacher Xiao Zhao quickly received a reply, which read: It went well.

Zhao Guoqing entered again: When is expected to be tape-out!

Li Shiwang replied: Within a month!

Zhao Guoqing input: Can the software driver keep up? Li Shiwang replied: I can keep up with the synchronization!

Zhao Guoqing input: What about board design?

This time he didn't wait for a reply. His cell phone rang, and he saw it was Li Shiwang calling.

Li Shiwang said: "Director Zhao, if you have any questions, just ask them directly. It's really uncomfortable to type on QQ!"

"..."

This kid is still suppressing his emotions!

Well, Teacher Xiao Zhao didn’t take it seriously, and asked about the ARMv6 project in QQ, the progress of the CPU, and the design of the board...

After a round of inspection, Teacher Xiao Zhao felt that something was wrong. The functions of QQ were too simple. Just a contact function was not enough.

Teacher Xiao Zhao called Comrade Lei Jun.

Zhao Guoqing said: "I need an enterprise management software!"

"..." Lei Jun said: "Mr. Zhao, what kind of business management software do you need!"

Zhao Guoqing thought for a while and said: "There must be human resources management functions, which mainly include recruitment management, employee information management, performance management, salary and benefit management, etc.

It also has financial management functions, including the generation of financial statements, voucher entry and query, cost accounting, and tax management. "

"..."

Zhao Guoqing continued: “There is also a supply chain management function, which needs to cover the entire supply chain process from purchasing raw materials to product sales, including supplier selection, inventory management, logistics coordination, order processing, etc.

And customer relationship management functions, including customer information management, sales opportunity follow-up, marketing activity management, customer service and other functions.

"Of course, the most important thing is to have project management functions, with functions such as organizing and allocating resources, formulating project plans, coordinating teamwork, monitoring project progress, etc..."

Lei Jun was shocked at what he heard. He applauded Mr. Zhao's creativity and felt that he could do such a large-scale software.

Zhao Guoqing said: "Lei Gong, I will ask Assistant Liao Yue to hand over the organizational structure of Zhongxun, 102, and Vision to you later. You can make a plan first. I need people from all departments to participate. From my The angle allows you to see at a glance how the company is doing!”

"...Mr. Zhao, can the enterprise management software you mentioned be split into several separate software? I'm afraid...I'm afraid that such a large-scale software cannot be run on a terminal machine..."

Zhao Guoqing said: "Leigong, you can divide the software into client software and provide it to the person in charge of each position. All data will be transferred to the server for processing, and then access permissions will be set according to each person's position..."

Lei Jun's eyes lit up, he scratched his head and said, "Mr. Zhao, I understand, I just got distracted..."

……

Just as Zhao Guoqing hung up the phone from Lei Jun, the phone rang again.

It was Paul Figueiredo, vice president of investments at Goldman Sachs.

"Mr. Zhao, why did you just answer the phone? Something big has happened, a big thing!"

Zhao Guoqing frowned and suddenly had a premonition, but still said: "What's the matter?"

"The furry bear disintegrated!" Paul exclaimed, his tone sharp and exaggerated due to excitement.

But Zhao Guoqing knows that he is definitely not cheering because of the victory of the United States, but because...

The gluttonous feast of capital has begun...
