Chapter 1395 The Door to the Future (Second Update, Please Subscribe)

"According to the itinerary, after completing the inspection in Kuching, your next stop will be Yongning..."

Listening to the news coming from the car radio, Luo Mingjie glanced at the city outside the window... No, it should be Silicon Valley.

Although he didn't know your itinerary, he believed that this must be the place you wanted to visit.

However, this is not important!

Right now, the most important thing is here!

Staring at the office building in front of him and looking at the sign of "Growth Ladder Innovation Fund", Luo Mingjie took a deep breath and said:
"Well, whether we can succeed depends on today!"

Muttering to himself, Luo Mingjie picked up the report beside him, reviewed it, and then put it back into his briefcase.

If the general manager of IMD was here, he would not feel unfamiliar with this report, because a few months ago, in the manager's office of IMD, Luo Mingjie personally threw the plan in his hand into the trash can, and then angrily left the door of IMD.

When New Year's Day arrived, Luo Mingjie resigned!

This is very rare here, so rare that twenty minutes later, in the office of the Growth Ladder Innovation Fund, when the affairs commissioner heard the word "resignation", his eyes widened and his face was filled with astonishment as he said:
"This...Mr. Luo, this is really rare. IMD is a very good company."

IMD is indeed a very good company - the 101 chip it developed last year became the darling of the market, and many business computers use this chip. In addition, the radiation-resistant chips it developed are also used in various military fields such as Beidou satellites, radars, and missiles. Among many chip companies, IMD is definitely first-class.

"It's great! But they are making a mistake!"

Luo Mingjie said without hiding anything:

“Two years ago, I participated in the design of IMD’s 101 microprocessor, which was a very successful microprocessor. While it was successful, I saw the vacuum that the 101 microprocessor brought to the market – yes, the 101 microprocessor was indeed excellent, but it was too expensive, costing 1500 yuan.

To build an independent computer with a processor of this price range would cost at least 10000 yuan, and even an ordinary BMW family sedan costs about the same.

It is hard to imagine that any family or individual would be willing to pay such a huge amount of money to buy such a strange and bloated machine that they don’t know what it should be used for, so most of its buyers are interested companies and universities. "

Heisenberg, the venture capital specialist, nodded in agreement and said:

“Indeed, even ordinary companies will not buy electronic computers because they are too expensive.”

“So, the price is limiting its development.”

Luo Mingjie said:
"So, I thought, if the price of microprocessors can be reduced to 200 yuan, or even below 100 yuan, it will definitely fill the huge blue ocean of home computers. So I told my idea to the company's top management, but the response I got was very simple:
“Please give up, this is unrealistic.” That’s the answer they gave me.”

Luo Mingjie said:
"So, I left, but I was not alone. I left with several members of the original 101 team."

"Is there anyone else?"

Heisenberg was surprised:
"Yes, basically it's my team. We are now designing a new processor. I believe that we can definitely design a sufficiently cheap microprocessor, of course, with your funding!"

Looking at the project manual in his hand, Heisenberg thought for a while, then looked at the man in front of him again.

It is exactly as he said, if the price of microprocessors can be reduced to 200 yuan, or even below 100 yuan, it will definitely fill the huge blue ocean of home computers.

Heisenberg thought for a moment and said.

"Congratulations, Mr. Luo, on receiving the investment from the foundation. I hope we can see your achievements as soon as possible."

When Heisenberg made this decision, he had no idea what kind of changes it would bring to the world, but one thing was certain: two years later, a chip called 2 would be born from this obscure company because of his decision, igniting the fire of home computers.

And that will definitely change the whole world and bring about earth-shaking changes to this world.

This day will go down in history.

Just as they signed this investment agreement at the Growth Ladder Fund that changed history and even influenced the course of human progress.

In the GAD company laboratory in Silicon Valley, Zhang Jingye looked at the microprocessor in front of him with excitement in his eyes.

He even kept rubbing his hands and said:
"Okay, okay, now I finally have something to show you. With it... you will definitely come to our company!"

Zhang Jingye was so excited because this microprocessor fully verified the "Lee's Law" proposed by His Excellency. This was the bargaining chip for his invitation. Although GAD was the first company to invent the lithography machine, it began to decline with the entry of many companies, especially after the King Laboratory launched the projection lithography machine. However, Zhang Jingye did not admit defeat. While organizing forces to study the projection lithography machine, he invested more energy in the production and research of integrated circuits, mainly focusing on improving the yield rate.

After more than a year of hard work, GAD's integrated circuit yield rate has been greatly improved, which has also attracted a lot of orders for the company. However, he is not satisfied with just being a "processing company", he has bigger goals.

“We want to become a company like international electronics companies!”

Everyone has their own ambitions, or wishes, and now, this microprocessor is Zhang Jingye's stepping stone! "But, Manager, our yield rate is still very low. To some extent, it is not even worth producing. It is only 12%."

Listening to his subordinates' words, Zhang Jingye smiled and said:
"12%? It's not low. The yield rate of our first lithography machine was less than 10%! But so what? The military and SpaceX don't mind the price. Besides, this is just a laboratory product now. Soon, we will solve the problem of mass production..."

If what Zhang Jingye said was heard by the Soviet integrated circuit experts in Zelenograd, they would probably collapse, because until now, their yield rate has not exceeded 10%. If the products here are just laboratory products, then those in the Soviet Union are simply hand-made.

Rubbing his hands excitedly, Zhang Jingye said:

"Okay, send the processor data to the official residence. I think with it, His Excellency will definitely come over!"

Indeed, just as Zhang Jingye guessed, on the high-speed train to Yongning, Li Yian flipped through the report in his hand, more surprised, and even deliberately confirmed whether CAD was on the itinerary for the inspection. After knowing that it was not, Li Yian immediately ordered:
“Add CAD to your inspection itinerary!”

With such good stuff, of course I have to go and take a look!

Afterwards, after giving a few simple instructions, Li Yian turned his attention back to the report in front of him. Even if he was away from home, he could not stop the work at hand. Reading intelligence briefings was still a necessary task every day.

In the intelligence briefing, in addition to intelligence from Washington and London, intelligence from Moscow is naturally indispensable.

However, compared with the first two, the intelligence from Moscow was pitifully little, which was the biggest advantage of the Iron Curtain. The Iron Curtain almost blocked everything. In fact, throughout the Cold War, in addition to using reconnaissance satellites to obtain intelligence, the intelligence work of the United States and other Western countries on the Soviet Union could almost be described as a mess.

Apart from a few traitors who occasionally provided them with intelligence, most of the time the United States could only obtain the information they needed from public channels, that is, by obtaining local newspapers and magazines.

In fact, these public intelligence are basically what Moscow is willing to disclose. In other words, if they are unwilling to disclose it, Washington will basically be in the dark.

Just like after Steel's death, Washington naturally thought that Malenkov was Steel's successor. They never thought that the winner in the end would be Corn Cob.

This shows how poor Washington's intelligence work is.

However, as more and more people chose to betray because of money or other reasons, their intelligence work naturally became better and better.

While complaining about the United States, the Investigation Department’s intelligence work on Moscow was not necessarily very good.

After all, Ironwood is, for the most part, almost impenetrable, unless someone voluntarily surrenders to it.

But the information in front of him now made Li Yian couldn't help but smile.

"This is really interesting..."

The reason why Li Yian said this is because this information is not about Moscow, but about a person.

"How could a Soviet intelligence officer betray me?"

This guy didn't defect, but took the initiative to contact us and expressed his willingness to provide information.

Although this kind of thing is not common, it was a very common occurrence throughout the Cold War. The Soviet Union even had their UN Deputy Secretary-General who became a spy for the United States and chose to defect after the secret was exposed. As for the United States, many people also chose to betray.

However, it is rare for someone to take the initiative to come here. After all, from the perspective of betrayal, the rewards they will get by going to the United States will be greater.

"interesting……"

While muttering this in her heart, the door on the other side of the box opened, and a girl in a men's shirt came out. When she saw Li Yian, she smiled and said:
"When did you wake up?"

Looking at the girl walking towards him, Li Yian closed the report in his hand and said:

"I didn't call you because I saw you were tired."

While speaking, Li Yian looked at the woman. It must be said that this woman really has a broad mind.

What exactly happened before?
Li Yian was also a little confused. Everything happened naturally. It was easy for a single man and a single woman to accidentally shoot each other.

This kind of thing is always inevitable.

Looking at the girl, Li Yian patted the seat next to him, and the girl sat down immediately, then lay obediently on the man's legs. When looking at him, Nancy's eyes were full of little stars, as if she was looking at an idol.

For her, this was an extremely novel and alternative experience. At this time, she had completely forgotten about her boyfriend En and Paul Pelosi, and was completely immersed in this novel experience. So what even if he had a wife?

He has many lovers, so what if I have one more!
This was the simplest thought in her mind at the moment. In fact, although she liked politics, she was just a simple girl now. It was so simple that only this man was left in her eyes.

While touching the girl's hair, Li Yian was thinking about another thing...
