Chapter 18 Give it strength directly

Life is really not easy for Moore Technology. As a new force in the GPU field, a start-up company must face very severe challenges.

Especially since this is a Chinese company, it’s even more difficult – it’s fine if it doesn’t produce results, but as soon as it shows up, many restrictions will come.

Moore Technology is in such a situation. The product has just been known and is not very good yet. It is still several grades away from mainstream products such as Nvidia and AMD, so it is already on the list.

Moreover, for now, Moore Technology's graphics cards are selling at a loss. Take the MTT S80, for example, which is comparable in scale to the Nvidia RTX3060 and costs less than .

In addition, the shipment volume is not large, and the high tape-out and manufacturing costs cannot be evenly shared. No matter how you sell, you will lose money.

But if you don’t sell it, that’s even worse. Then you will be declared dead directly.

Their boss himself said: In the next ten years, our goal is to stay alive, and we can only talk about other things while we are still alive.

However, on this day, fate suddenly turned around——

"Mr. Zhang, there's an emergency!"

It was already very late that day. Zhang Jian, the founder of Moore Technology, suddenly received a message from his assistant at home: "Our JD.com, Tmall flagship stores and Qiqi core distributors reported that the graphics cards were sold out almost at the same time."

"Sold out of graphics cards? Which one?"

“没有哪一款，是所有款。包括S90、80、70、60甚至面向AI的专有核心S4000，6000，终端目前全部处于缺货的状态。”

Zhang Jianli immediately realized that things were unusual. The shipment volume of Moore Technology was not large, and the inventory was indeed not very large. However, all offline and online distributors and online stores were sold out at the same time. This is certainly not what ordinary people can do. in order.

"What is the specific situation? Do you have any clues?"

“The situation on the distributor side is very clear. Mr. Cheng of Uker Global contacted him personally and took all the inventory.

“We don’t have much stock in Jingdong’s Tmall store, and the situation is not yet clear. However, it can be confirmed that more than 95% of buyers’ delivery addresses are university campuses, especially universities in Hezhou. host."

Zhang Jian frowned, what's going on here?

He is not worried about any calculations. With the current background of Moore Technology, all major Internet giants have participated in investment, state-owned enterprises, banks and investment institutions are also involved, and the country is also providing strong support.

After the 1017 incident, the external environment has become extremely bad, and there is nothing left to calculate. However, the internal unity is unprecedented, and no one will risk the disdain of the world to cause trouble, at least not on the surface.

Is it really just hoarding? Is there any value in stocking up on the graphics cards here?

Youke Global, college students, what is the connection between these?

Zhang Jian couldn't understand, and simply gave up. He immediately asked someone to find Cheng Linfeng's contact information and contact him directly.

Although the two people don't know each other, they are actually a circle in the final analysis, and it is not difficult to find a contact information.

"Mr. Zhang, congratulations!" As if waiting for his call, congratulations came as soon as the call was answered, which made Zhang Jian even more confused.

"Where does the joy come from?"

"Seize this opportunity, punch your old employer and kick the massage parlor. From now on, only Moore Technology will dominate the graphics card field. Isn't this exciting enough?"

Zhang Jian was originally the president of NVIDIA's domestic region, and he left to start a business called Moore Technology. Kicking his old club? That's NVIDIA, what are you pointing at? My goal is to live ten years, what drama are you adding to me here?

However, people at their level, especially if the two of them don't know each other yet, would not make such a joke. Especially since Cheng Linfeng has contracted all the dealer's inventory, which is all real money.

"Please also ask Mr. Cheng to help me clear up my doubts."

"I can't help you. There are other people who can. The matter is very simple. You can understand the situation with a little research.

"I'll be waiting for you in Hezhou then. I'll take you to meet a child, and you'll understand everything together."...

Indeed, a little research will help you figure it out. Less than a quarter of an hour after hanging up the phone here, all the information on the matter has arrived at Zhang Jian's desk.

But at this moment, he was even more confused.

"Cyber ​​girlfriend? Suspected new artificial intelligence training program!"

"Linux system-level smart plug-ins make Linux easier to use than Windows and improve hardware performance by 30%!"

"AI intelligent work assistant, pure client-side capabilities, based on Moore Technology Chunxiao core training!"

Looking at these three things and their evaluation reports, Zhang Jian simply didn't know what to say.

"Xiao Zhao, I didn't have a drink at noon? Why do I feel a little confused?" After being stunned for a while, he finally looked up at his assistant and asked uncertainly.

"Ah, Mr. Zhang, you're not drinking. You haven't had any alcohol in the past few days. Are you feeling a little dizzy? Are you under too much stress recently? Do you want me to contact the doctor?"

Zhang Jian's mouth twitched. Assistant Guawazi, didn't you see that he was joking? He immediately waved his hand: "It's okay. Mr. Li will come over to deliver the things in a while. Let him bring it in directly. Be quick."

He wanted to try it himself, use this thing with his own hands, and see what it was like.

As a professional and former regional president of NVIDIA, he knows very well what the highest level of AI in the world is.

If this Linux system-level smart plug-in is as stated in the report, it is not just as simple as a plug-in, but it absolutely integrates the concept of the next generation operating system, the AI ​​assistance concept at the operation level and even the system level and hardware scheduling level. The 30% improvement in hardware utilization efficiency is also consistent with this feature.

"Microsoft's internal evaluation is roughly like this, but can this be researched by a domestic company? And it is still a start-up company?" The more Zhang Jian thought about it, the more outrageous he felt.

He founded Moore Technology and became a unicorn within half a year, with a valuation of nearly 300 billion in three years. This was achieved through his countless accumulation at NVIDIA and gathering a large number of talents from major companies such as Microsoft, NVIDIA, and AMD.

The so-called "curling ear intelligent technology" is just a piece of grass. Even if it comes from "The Book of Songs", it is just a piece of grass!
Moreover, there is no investment, and even its establishment is silent. If you don’t deliberately investigate, you won’t even know that it exists.

Is such a company really of such a strong standard? This is totally against common sense!
……

Zhang Jian was in a state of agony while waiting for Li Gong to deliver the equipment. He even stopped doing his daily work and just stood there in a daze. The assistant looked very worried, thinking that the boss was about to suffer from some illness.

"boss Zhang……"

The man named Li Gong knocked on the door and was about to speak. Zhang Jianli immediately jumped up from his chair: "The host is here, right? Just move it in, let's try it now, hurry up!"

Seeing Zhang Jian's anxious look, Li Gong wanted to say something but didn't. He just followed the instructions: "Mr. Zhang, this plug-in has been upgraded today and is installed on the system.

"For example, right now, this is a bare machine with no system installed. You just need to insert the USB flash drive and follow the prompts to go to the next step. It's fool-proof and does not require any other operations."

"Yeah. There's nothing obvious about it. Just give it strength and let it install our full set of FPGA development tools."

This is really intensive. With FPGA field programmable gate array development tools, it would take an engineer a whole day to configure such a development environment.

If you have been using Windows and are not familiar with it, it may even take a week to install it.

"Mr. Zhang, it's ready!"

"Here we go, okay, let's see if it works. What? Have you agreed?"

Zhang Jianpo felt that the world was too crazy: I'm just dumbfounded, can you tell me? Is the internet speed in our office area too fast?

No, where is this all from? It’s too outrageous!
