"Hey, Rozi.

Aren't you in Makan? Why did you call me so early?"

There was a lazy voice on the phone, and it was obvious that he was staying up late again.

"It's okay, but I suddenly remembered something, and I'll check with you. Luo Liqiang calmed himself down and said flatly.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Didn't you say last time that Lao Wu met three Mi people when he was recruiting employees in Silicon Valley and wanted to invest in us.

Do you remember that?"

After Luo Li finished speaking, Brother Xiao Ma on the phone was silent for a while, obviously recalling what Luo Li said.

After a moment, he hesitated and said:

"It seems like there was such a thing, and I remember those three people as Gary, Scott, and Rose.

It seems that they are all Lao Wu's colleagues.

You know, that guy Wu is like going to a restaurant, and he's almost all over the companies in Silicon Valley.

"Brother Xiaoma, do you remember the name of that company, is it called 3DFX?" Luo Li didn't wait for Brother Xiaoma to finish speaking, and immediately interjected to interrupt his repeated account of Lao Wu's deeds.

"Hmm. It seems to be.

I remember Lao Wu said that the three guys' company does 3D modeling, which is related to graphics, and it seems that they also make motherboard chips. ”

When Luo Li heard this, he could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart, and his voice trembled and continued to ask Brother Xiaoma, "How much money did they ask for at that time?"

"I guess it's 5 million.

5 million can own 51% of their shares.

Interested in this project?

I remember when you were in college, you weren't very interested in hardware.

Now this is taking Ecstasy?

It is also to build a company and develop semiconductors.

Now you're eyeing the kingdomist graphic design company again?"

Brother Xiao Ma heard Luo Li's excitement and immediately quipped.

But Luo Li did not respond to Brother Xiaoma's joke, but said eagerly: "Give Lao Wu a call, and say that I voted for that project!"

"Really?

The last time I told you about this, you were still absent-minded.

Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"Last time I forgot what the three of them were up to.

I thought it was a liar.

But last night I met a man,

During the exchange, his words suddenly reminded me that the company had a good project development prospects. Luo Li didn't know how to explain it, so he could only make it up.

However, he is not completely blind, because it is indeed a conversation with Yang Chao,

It reminded him that 3DFX is the only chip company that has not yet become a climate.

And this company had an intersection with him not long ago.

This gave him the confidence to recruit Yang Chao.

But he didn't expect that Brother Xiao Ma would be wrong, and thought that Luo Li had met a liar.

fooled this small company far away in the United States to Luo Li to deceive him into investing.

But he couldn't say it directly, for fear of hurting Luo Li's face, so he turned around and reminded:

"Met someone?

Who is it?

There are not many people who can fool you Big Boss Luo. ”

How could Luo Li not hear the voice of Brother Xiaoma's words, and hurriedly smiled while smiling bitterly: "It's not a liar, it's Yang Chao." ”

"Yang Chao?

Brother Ma is also a top student in the Department of Computer Science, and he still knows a thing or two about several major people who are active in the global computer field.

"That's him!

So I think if you want to produce motherboards, you have to get the motherboard chips first.

That's why I came up with the idea of investing in that 3DFX!"

"It must be the company that Yang Chao recommended to you!

Luo Li, I can warn you.

If you want to produce motherboards, you can actually buy ready-made chips.

Intel and AMD are not going to sell, why bother with this?

Forget it, if you want to do this, then you must have a reason.

Not much more.

I called Lao Wu.

A little later, that guy will probably be going to sleep!"

Brother Xiao Ma knew Luo Li's character very well, and knew that what he decided was that even nine cows would not be able to pull it back.

Sure enough, Luo Li smiled after listening to the words, and agreed with Brother Xiaoma's opinion.

At the same time, he also misunderstood that the 3DFX company was introduced to him by Yang Chao, and he felt a burst of relief.

"Oh, yes.

Tell Lao Wu, we don't invest, we only buy!

3dfx has to be mine!

Let Lao Wu be the CEO,

Didn't he resign?

I was a treat for giving him a new job.

And told him that after the acquisition, I want to own 51% of the shares, and he and those three people can hold 49% of the shares.

Of course, I'll pay for his share and give it to him!"

"Awesome!"

After listening to Luo Li's instructions, Xiao Ma praised him and hung up the phone.

Now, he has already adapted a lot to Luo Li's style of spending money.

Luo Li put the phone in his trouser pocket,

The glorious history of 3DFX suddenly came to mind.

Founded in 94 by a few engineers with no background out of interest, Voodoo chips were immediately developed.

Since then, computers have 3D processing capabilities at almost the same level as arcade machines, creating a precedent for 3D processing technology in the PC industry.

It has given birth to epoch-making game masterpieces such as Tomb Raider, Need for Speed, and Mjolnir.

It can be said that before ATI and NVIDIA monopolized display chips,

It's a king.

But after all, he is a private enterprise and has no background.

How can the United States tolerate a few people who master the core technology that leads the world,

So in the year 2000,

3dfx lost a lawsuit against NVIDIA and was acquired by NVIDIA for just $70 million and $1 million in stock.

It is said that behind NVIDIA is the entire United States,

The purpose of acquiring 3DFX at a bargain is well known.

The pioneer of a generation of graphics cards and the king of the field of display chips finally declared bankruptcy at the end of 2002.

Thinking of this, Luo Li smiled slightly,

Since 3DFX will intersect with itself,

Then his splendor will continue to be brilliant,

His decline will not happen again,

He already has a plan, 3DFX will not be nationalized by the United States,

Because 3DFX will belong to their homeland!

Suddenly, Luo Li was woken up by a gust of sea breeze,

When he looked up, he realized that he didn't know when he had reached the edge of the city.

In the east, the half-round sunset slowly rises,

Countless white sails on the sea set sail into the distance in the haze.

A whistle came into Luo Li's ears from afar,

His heart seemed to be a little hot,

He knew that it was a hot blood that was constantly rolling!
