Chapter 150 Chinese Elites in Silicon Valley
Cang Yaozu remembers that Disney spent more than 50 billion US dollars to buy the 20th Century Fox, but Sony, Verizon and Comcast have not been bought yet. DreamWorks ended in a sad way because there is no international distribution channel for videos.
Therefore, Cang Yaozu did not regret taking over Sigram Wine Company and indirectly winning Universal Pictures. What's more, the money for this transaction is still owed. The Universal Studios project alone raised more than 20 billion US dollars of funds, which is not a loss no matter how you calculate it. This also shows that there is money, and there is money.
What does the reborn rely on to make a good fortune? It is definitely not technology, but actually not connections. The reborn depends on foresight. Every reborn is the best navigator and product manager of the company.
When you know the right direction, you are a full-picture map. The two parts of film and television and sports can allow Cang Yaozu to quickly monetize this foresight. The cultural and sports industry is the source of content for the Internet industry, which is crucial to Cang Yaozu's linkage of various industries.
So even if you are not doing your job properly, Cang Yaozu squeezed out the quota from the tight funds to make arrangements in the cultural and sports industry. After all, no matter how tight the money is, there is still a squeeze. So, private jets and private islands have been arranged. At worst, you can buy them and mortgage them. Without these two things, it would not be cool enough to pick up girls.
These two things are great as gifts, but when you prepare a birthday gift for O'My sister, you can't give it to a small island. This is really a difficult thing. Can you prepare a doll? Mattel's Barbie doll? I guess she has many Baz dolls, anti-Barbie dolls? Well, this one has not been born yet. Hey, this Baz doll can be saved, but only Barbie's doll world is too monotonous.
Doll? SpongeBob, Peppa Pig? By the way, I asked Liz to dub Peppa Pig, this one can be. Peppa Pig may premiere in the United States in this life, just in time, I'll leave it to Liz to dub. Perfect, I'm really a genius.
Seeing Cang Yaozu's happy look, Elizabeth asked quickly: "Ayao, have you already decided to give me any gift?"
"Yes, I've thought about it, but I can't tell you that your birthday is not yet here, so I have to give you a surprise, right?"
"Oh my God, that's not tormenting me to death, Ayao, tell me now, Liz begs you."
"Well, I bought a company in England and am producing an animation called "Peppa Pig". You can dubbed Peppa in it. I will give you a salary of 10,000 US dollars per hour. How about it? Let's dubbing several episodes in advance. Wait until your birthday, and ask your friends to watch the cartoon "Peppa Pig" together. Isn't that great?"
"Wow, 10,000 US dollars per hour? It's so high, I'm going to get rich. Thank you, Ayao, I want to kiss you."
Cang Yaozu happily came to Elizabeth Olsen. Well, this time it was on his right cheek, which was perfectly balanced. He earned the sweet kisses of three little beauties in one day, and this wave was not a loss.
After dealing with the little beauty of Elizabeth, Cang Yaozu remembered the Baz Doll, a money-making weapon, and today I have gained a lot. Since I have been involved in film and television and animation, I have to pay attention to the surroundings of the movie.
Universal Pictures’ current strategy is to win over Hasbro, suppress Disney and Mattel, accept Blue Sky Studios, and covet Pixar and DreamWorks animations. The surrounding area focuses on Marvel superheroes, Transformers and other anime peripherals, and focuses more on boys. Adding Baz dolls to fill the gap in the little girl’s side.
In that lifetime, Baz dolls were not very ideal because of the battle with Mattel’s dolls. This time, Cang Yaozu must pay attention to avoiding this problem. Try not to poach Mattel’s talents, develop on his own first, and then talk about it. Well, the first one is to make a hot girl doll.
"Ayao, it's not fair. You gave Jessica two heroines, or a series of films. I only signed a black widow. I don't know when I can play it. It's just a big Easter egg. You bully people, which is too bullying." Scarlett came over at this time, and the little girl was unbalanced.
"Okay, I'll find you a movie, the main thing is that your grade is a bit awkward, it's not up or down, a movie that suits your age. Let me think about it, let me think about it." Cang Yaozu walked to the window and looked out the window. It was almost dark. Several chefs invited were busy in the kitchen. They could start their meal when the guests they were waiting for.
A film starring a girl of such an old age, right, in that life, Scarlett starred in Bowei Film's "The Horse Whisperer" next year, playing a little girl with broken legs. Well, there is also a film called "Born a Couple". Scarlett also auditioned for this film, but she was not selected.
The right to remake the movie "Born a Couple" seems to be with Bowei Pictures. The movie is remake from "Dad Loves Mom" in 1961. Robert Eiger can negotiate, so that Legend Pictures can be produced by Universal and Bowei will be jointly released.
The novel "The Horse Whisperer" needs to be bought. If the copyright is still there, buy it. If it is not there, invest and issue it. There is no big problem. I just remember that the film "The Horse Whisperer" seems to be a bit long, nearly three hours.
Cang Yaozu found Robert Eiger and explained to him about the two movies "The Horse Whisperer" and "Born a Couple". Eiger will contact the author of the novel "The Horse Whisperer" and negotiate with Bowei Pictures about the film remake.
Robert Eiger found that it was a good thing for his boss to have too many girlfriends, so he forced him to think about the movie project. It seems that if there are fewer projects in the future, he can introduce several girlfriends to the boss.
Scarlett felt happy when he heard the conversation between Cang Yaozu and Robert Eiger, and his little face was as smiling as a flower.
Cang Yaozu looked at her and smiled. This little girl is still too young. It seems that when the Easter eggs of "Iron Man 2" are filmed, she will personally grab her makeup. At that time, makeup and special effects will be put on her, so be sure to put on a mature and beautiful makeup.
At around 7 o'clock in the evening, the group of Silicon Valley dead-house engineers finally arrived. Cang Yaozu prepared authentic Chinese food for them, which was not localized at all. The ones that were particular about authenticity. He called the chefs from China.
Everyone praised and chatted while eating. The meal came to an end. There was no point in the main topic on the dining table. After the meal, a few people came to a large study room on the second floor of the villa, and everyone settled down.
Cang Yaozu welcomed another important speech since his rebirth. The speeches were Wang Fengmin and Lai Gaoen of Scoop, Jack Yuan of Shengdian, Huang Renxun of Nvidia, Dai Weili and Zhou Xiuwen of Maiwei Technology, Chen Wenqi and Wang Xuehong of VIA Electronics.
"Everyone, I am Cang Yaozu of Shanyao Technology. I am very happy to meet you, oh, eight, good numbers, which reminds me of the Eight Rebels of Fairy Child, which seems to be a good sign. Moreover, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the birth of transistors, and it is also a period of great explosion in the Internet industry. We can make a big career. I hope you can leave a strong mark in the history of semiconductor development."
"Mr. Cang, you have praised it. We can't do any big careers. We are all very small roles." The person who answered the conversation was Ms. Dai Weili of Maiwei Technology. She immigrated from the Magic City to San Francisco at the age of 17. She was more intimate with Cang Yaozu from Yandu.
"Okay, Sister Dai is so modest. In my heart, everyone is a pillar of the world. This is not a false statement. People here do practical things and will never waste time doing some small things. Then I will just talk about the topic. Since Windows 95 was launched, the Wintel Alliance can be said to be stable and it is difficult to shake. Even if AMD has surpassed Intel in terms of CPU performance, it will not shake the Wintel Alliance. Intel will always win the Red and Blue Battle."
"Mr. Cang, there is still a chance for the X86 architecture. After all, Intel and AMD can't afford to eat the entire market. And I think there is still a chance to enter the CPU field." Chen Wenqi of VIA Electronics has different opinions. He has coveted this market for a long time.
Cang Yaozu listened to Chen Wenqi's speech and remained silent. Of course, he knew there was still a chance, but this opportunity was difficult to grasp. Even if it arose, it would be suppressed by Intel. After all, Intel left AMD mainly for antitrust considerations. The rise of the third CPU giant company would not benefit Intel.
"Mr. Chen, the chance is very small. Even if you can open up the situation, Intel will kill you soon. He doesn't need a third company to come in and grab food. The lawsuit, patents, the joint strangle of the Wintel Alliance, and a set of combined punches, everyone has to kneel down. Of course, you VIA can do it. I support you very much and will never lose. You can always make money. Even if you withdraw in the end, Intel and AMD are willing to take over."
Chen Wenqi: "It's a bit pessimistic. This market is very big. You can't just stop doing X86 chips because of Intel's strongness."
"Well, this market is very large, and the money is good, but it is not our food. Next, let me talk about the purpose of this meeting. Some time ago, Jack Yuan from Shengdian poached Mr. Lai Gaoen and Mr. Wang Fengmin heard about it and asked him to meet me. I happened to have something to talk to you about, so Jack asked Jack to make everyone together.
Some time ago, I acquired MIPS as a whole and acquired part of the equity of ARM, which was actually mainly to obtain some patents for the RISC streamlined instruction set. I developed a new streamlined instruction set, which has been named RISC-V, which is the fifth generation streamlined instruction set.
This is a new generation of instruction set that pursues minimalism, modular design, high efficiency and low energy consumption, scalable, and has no historical burden of inefficient instructions. It is currently being improved by the team of Professor John Henness of the Computer Department of Stanford University and Professor David Patterson of the Computer Department of UC Berkeley. The main reason is that the development tools have not been completed. I hope that all companies can join in and form an industrial alliance to jointly promote the architecture of this instruction set."
Chen Wenqi: "Mr. Cang, it is too difficult to re-establish an instruction set structure now. The investment is very large. Even if it is developed and the ecosystem cannot be established, it is just a self-entertainment."
Cang Yaozu nodded, basically agreeing with Chen Wenqi's statement: "You are all experts in the semiconductor industry. Let me first talk about my ideas. Everyone is welcome to criticize and correct me. RISC-V is a set of streamlined instruction sets. There are many application scenarios for this instruction set, but I am not going to focus on the application scenario of personal PCs, because on PC, the Wintel Alliance is already very stable, and it is really difficult to get a good idea in this field. So in the early stage, we will avoid competing with the Wintel Alliance in the PC field.
Our goal is to all application scenarios other than personal PCs, such as servers, microcontrollers and embedded application scenarios, such as mobile phones, mobile storage, digital cameras, video security, smart homes, in-vehicle platforms, as well as future artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, drones, Internet of Things, wearable devices, etc. RISC-V adopts a modular design, and can use a subset of RISC-V instructions to develop specific application scenarios, which can improve chip performance while ensuring compatibility."
"Mr. Cang, this set of instructions is already very mature, right? Can it be used now? Or is it in the process of development?" Huang Renxun asked.
Huang Renxun is the founder and CEO of Nvidia. He is very serious and capable. Well, he often wears a black leather jacket. For example, today, he comes in a black leather jacket.
"Mr. Huang, the RISC-V instruction set has been very complete, and what is not perfect are the development tools and simulation environments."
"Old Huang, aren't you guys working on graphics cards? Why do you have the energy to do something else? You're very worried." Chen Wenqi quipped.
"Yes, Lao Huang, your current task should be profitable. You have been so miserable lately. You have been defeated by Voodoo graphics cards."
"It is because it is very miserable that we need to open our minds and look at other things. Maybe we can understand the same things." Huang Renxun smiled. His Nvidia is indeed very miserable now. It can be said that we have not found a foundation that can gain a foothold in Silicon Valley.
