"My name is Yu Youcheng, my ancestral home is Shanghai, and my roots are also in China. After wandering outside for half a life, I am fortunate to come back this time and gather with all the industry elites here to exchange ideas about the prospects for the development of microcomputers. After the opening remarks, Mr. Yu began to introduce the development history of microprocessors and the prospects of microcomputers.

But Cao Changjiu, who was sitting below, was like a lightning strike, dumbfounded, and didn't listen to a word.

Yu Youcheng, he knows, the name is like thunder, the backbone of Intel Corporation, who once presided over the development of 386 and 486 until P6 and P7.

How did a famous figure come to China to cheat money at the beginning, and he couldn't figure it out for a long time.

In fact, it has been lonely for a long time, Dr. Yu joined Intel in 72 years and made great contributions, successively presiding over technical work and quality control in the chip factory.

In 77, Dr. Yu left Intel to start his own business, raised 1 million US dollars, founded VideoBrain computer company, and developed a commercial-grade home computer.

Dr. Yu, who had rushed to the Pacific Ocean, was cornered, and when he heard about the reform and opening up of the Chinese mainland, he resolutely came to pan for gold with the only few silver left in his hand.

Since Nixon, the mainland and the United States re-established diplomatic relations, the Western world and the mainland have spent a honeymoon period, and there is a toothbrush theory, that is, the purchasing power of one billion people, one toothbrush per person, is one billion, what a big market this is.

It was in this historical context that Dr. Yu came to the mainland to dig for gold, and it is said that he really dug a little, and finally made up for the deficit of VideoBrain, and did not rush home.

His idea was to use his father-in-law's connections in the mainland to sell microcomputers, run training courses, and sow the first seeds. What I see now is the time to start a business, Dr. Yu.

Dr. Yu's vivid speech on the podium aroused the enthusiasm of the audience, as if the mainland was about to enter the microcomputer era.

Dr. Yu saw that it was almost over, and officially opened the main product he brought this time, a Cromemco microcomputer, using 8085 microprocessor, the operating system is cp/M, and comes with BASIC and other software.

For a while, everyone stretched their necks to look at the machine.

Da Li whispered and said for a long time: "Why is the one we made so similar to this." ”

"I don't have eyesight, it's because he's so similar to us, and it's cheaper to say it. "I have been teaching Da Li for a long time, "What breaks 8085, it's not the same as an 8-bit processor, it's just a little faster." Listening to him, what kind of representatives of advanced technology, even the three representatives have come out. ”

"Ahh "Da Li has been brainwashed.

"Go, I don't understand pulling down, I have to talk to him, ask for advice. Cao Changjiu also cheered up and listened carefully.

After a class, Yu Youcheng felt that he had a sense of accomplishment, things were developing exactly according to his expectations, these mainland students had never been exposed to microcomputers, after his instigation, the willingness to learn was high, almost like a child nostalgic for a toy store, and watched with great interest next to the microcomputer he brought.

Yu Youcheng originally wanted to make some money in the mainland and make up for the shortfall, but who knew that he would introduce microcomputers to the mainland on this trip, and watch Western science and technology take root in the motherland, which greatly satisfied his little vanity.

It made him feel as if he had fallen in love with the job, and he felt like a fire thief, spreading the seeds of fire that would one day surely burn the whole world.

It's just that where did the young man in front of him come from, Yu Youchengguang was there by himself, and he didn't notice that someone stopped him in front of him.

"Same ...... Hello, comrade, is there something wrong?" Although surprised by the other party's young age, Dr. Yu was still polite.

"You're Yu Youcheng from Intel, right?" asked Cao Changchang softly.

"I've done it at Intel before, are you ......" and the doctor's mind is obviously short-circuited, and there are people in the mainland who know themselves?

"Sure enough, it's true!" Cao Changjiu excitedly grabbed Dr. Yu's hand, "Jiu Yang Daming, do you have any investment plans for coming to the mainland this time?"

"Ah, the mainland market is still in the undeveloped stage, and I am now such a pioneering role. But the market outlook is good, like a blank slate. "Why are mainland reporters so young," Dr. Yu thought.

"Are you saying that there is a drama in the mainland market?" Cao Changchang's eyes lit up.

"Hehe, it's not like that, its computer technology is certainly not as advanced as abroad, but the blank market is what all businessmen want to see. Dr. Yu laughed.

"Advanced technology?" Cao Changchang was obviously unconvinced, "Isn't the most advanced computer in the Americans now Cray-1, and it's not a big deal." ”

"It's different, after all, supercomputers are very narrow, military or commercial, and can only represent a country's technological level. Computers were built only as tools for human beings, not just for calculations, but for many functions. Dr. Yu talked about this very energetically, he has always adhered to his home computer concept, "If technology can't enter thousands of households, it will play a big role, so I think that microcomputers are the mainstream of future development." ”

"It seems that even Americans have not popularized microcomputers, right?" Cao questioned for a long time.

"This is only temporary, you don't see Apple's performance, production and profits have doubled, the current microcomputer market has just started, and the mainland has no microcomputers at all. Now Western countries are talking about the third technological revolution, which refers to computer technology. Dr. Yu firmly believes that the computer age is coming, and it is good to sow a little seed for China, "I came to the mainland this time to spread new ideas to everyone." ”

"But you're going to use the 8085 broken octet to fool people? We have this toy too. Cao Chang Mimi smiled, deliberately stimulating him.

"This is the most stable microcomputer in the United States, with a variety of functions, I think it is very suitable for mainland ......" Yu Youcheng defended, he did make the most cost-effective choice, "Besides, how can there be a 16-bit microcomputer now, that is the technology of small computers." ”

At that time, even in the United States, microcomputers were just starting, whether it was Apple or other companies, microcomputers were always in short supply, and the brands were also very miscellaneous.

Due to cost reasons, the vast majority of microcomputers choose 8-bit CPUs, and then there are small computers, which dominate the 16-bit to 32-bit market, and the price is tens of thousands of dollars.

It's not that microprocessors don't have 16-bit, due to fierce competition, 8-bit CPUs are evenly divided, no matter which developer is trying to develop the latest 16-bit CPU in order to seize the market and hit opponents, almost all of them have launched new products in this time period of 79, including Intel's 8086, Motorola's 68000.

"That's just as well. Cao Changjiu seems to have mistaken the time, but he didn't expect that there was no 16-bit microprocessor, "This is not very good, what kind of agent do you still have, and directly invest in a chip company in the mainland." What we have is technology, but we lack manufacturing technology. ”

"How can it be so easy!" Dr. Yu said with a smile, "It takes two or three years to develop a CPU, and there will be no market for it long after you develop it." ”
