Wang Anran knows the ability of the old enemy. But he still has to warn about it.

"Mr. Qiu, the homogenization of office software is very serious, and if you want to stand out from the competition, you still need continuous innovation. ”

When WPS was born, it also borrowed some settings from Word documents, which has the advantage that there is no obstacle for users to switch back and forth between WPS and Office software.

But it also loses the salient point of personalization.

Excel's powerful function ability, word is to see that is, to process, etc., are all created by others first, WPS and then learn from it, giving people the feeling that it is plagiarism, in fact, there is such a little taste.

"Anran, you don't have to worry about this, in terms of how to innovate, Kingsoft has always attached great importance to it, and we have enough financial resources to support research and development. ”

When Qiu Baijun said this, Wang Anran couldn't say anything more? After thinking about it, Wang Anran still mentioned it.

"I think Kingsoft Technology can consider acquiring some foreign professional office software. ”

"Besides, Kishiran, I have this idea, but it's more difficult to operate......"

Wang Anran nodded, a technical control approval has blocked the process of internationalization of many Chinese enterprises.

Even after the 2000s, some Chinese companies acquired foreign companies, and if they wanted to enter the professional technology pool of others, they still needed approval.

Only when you reach the level of others in technology can you be qualified to enter, which is a very real problem.

Wang Anran's plan is also to acquire several foreign chip companies, and AMD is naturally in the first place, but this difficulty is basically impossible now.

However, the acquisition of Cyrix is still promising, after entering the Pentium era, Cyrix is not as good as the generation, and finally fell into a CPU design company, relying on chip foundry to make a living.

After several years of huge losses, it still had to be acquired by VIA.

Huaxin Technology can completely cut off the beard.

And Wang Anran is detailed, and the Athlon™ CPU can prove that Huaxin Technology has the technical strength that is not weaker than Intel.

This is important in acquisitions and will be key to determining whether the approval process can be achieved or not.

To this end, Wang Anran also needs an international broker.

Goldman Sachs is well placed to play that role.

So this line must not be broken.

On the other hand, Goldman Sachs is very keen to watch the fire from the other side, and the result they want most is that Huaxin Technology will fail in the CPU project, and then facilitate them to buy shares at a low price.

If it is possible, it would be better to be able to hold Huaxin Technology.

This is a welcome event for Goldman Sachs and the consortium behind it.

Intel has sharpened its knives, and they are starting with the instruction set, in fact, Intel has passed the test and found that the instruction shift of engineering samples, reading registers, etc., is highly similar to Intel's patent.

Although I am not sure that it is an infringement, sometimes, the truth is not too important, the important thing is that everyone believes it and it is true.

Intel waited for the opportunity......

On Christmas Eve in 1995, Huaxin Technology officially released the Athlon™ CPU.

In the Yanjing Workers' Stadium, the cold weather could not stop the enthusiastic melon-eating masses.

Wang Anran personally went into battle, and on the stage, he introduced the first central processing unit of Huaxin Technology.

When the performance parameters appeared on the big screen, there were bursts of cheers.

In the corner of the backcourt, Powell had a black line on his face.

Huaxin Technology is playing the same trick again, this CPU supports Hongmeng SP system, and also supports Microsoft Windows95 operating system, but in the Windows95 environment, the performance of the CPU has dropped sharply, only 80% of the Hongmeng SP system. ”

Wang Anran assured that this time it was really not intentional, and the support for Microsoft's windows95 was originally achieved through instruction mapping, and the performance loss was normal.

However, with the improvement of the process and the increase of transistor density, there are also many improvements in the mapping table.

Huaxin Technology showed in the simulation test that if it enters the 0.18 micron manufacturing process and the perfect mapping functional area, the performance loss will be controlled within 3% in the Microsoft environment.

After all, the Athlon CPU is facing the international market, and if it does not support Windows95, there is no doubt that the Athlon CPU will lose this part of the market.

Feliro, who was on the other side of the world, was watching live TV with a sigh of relief.

It was two o'clock in the morning, American time.

The test data is similar to the engineering sample, and Feliro is not interested, he is interested in the fact that the CPU of Huaxin Technology has finally been released.

"Intel is a world leader in the industry, and it absolutely cannot stand the provocation of a Chinese company. ”

Feliro decided to snipe the Athlon's CPU in order to buy Intel enough time, believing that all the advantages of Athlons would be gone when his next generation of CPUs was released.

Feliro picked up the phone, dialed a number, and in a few moments, a voice rang from the phone.

"Oh, what are you doing, Feliro, do you know how much it cost me to fall asleep?"

"I'm sorry, Dax, but I just have something to talk to you about. ”

"Okay, if you have any opinions, you can talk about it tomorrow, that's all. ”

Fei Liluo hurriedly said: "Dax, Huaxin Technology's CPU has been released, what I want to ask is, has the CPU ordered by Compaq arrived?"

Dax said: "10,000 pieces have come, and the follow-up will arrive within 15 days, Feliluo, the purchase of Huaxin Technology Athlon's CPU was decided by the board of directors, I know you must have ideas, but ......"

"No!" Feliro interrupted Dax, and then said, "You may have misunderstood, Mr. Dax, what I want to ask is whether it is possible for Compaq to chase the purchase of the Accelerator Dragon CPU again." ”

"Uh!" Dax frowned and said, "Feliro, I don't understand, are you asking Compaq to launch more Athlon CPUs? Is Intel going to stop providing CPUs to Compaq? Oh God, can I consider this a threat?"

Feliro's mouth was dry, and he hurriedly leaned into the microphone and said: "Dax, I think you misunderstood, Intel absolutely values the partnership with Compaq, in fact, what I want to say, Compaq can treat this purchase as an investment, I think, you will soon generate a huge profit......"

“......”

Compaq, Dell, IBM......

Intel has enough resources in its hands, and many manufacturers are involved in Intel's obscenity, coupled with not building enough trust in a Chinese company, which makes them choose to wait and see, rather than immediately throw themselves into the arms of Huaxin Technology.

Now that Intel has spoken, what are you waiting for, first purchase a batch to test the water......

............

Wang Anran didn't expect that after the release of the Athlon™ CPU, in just a few dozen days, Huaxin Technology's CPU orders had been scheduled for three months later.

"Mr. Wang, our CPU shipments have exceeded one million pieces, which has exceeded the expected volume of our foundry. ”

Wang Anran nodded, Huaxin Technology signed floating contracts with TSMC, Samsung, and Toshiba, and only needed to send the order to them.

If necessary, they can be asked to make a new production schedule, and what Huaxin Technology needs to do is to increase the cost of several sets of mask versions.

Huaxin Technology's Athlon™ CPU is sought after by the market, which was originally a good thing for Wang Anran, but everyone suddenly went from watching to now flocking, making the whole thing reveal a little weird.

Something must have gone wrong?

You must know that in the previous life, when AMD held Ryzen and raised its eyebrows, it was still deflated in the whole machine manufacturer.

Compared with AMD at that time, his Huaxin Technology was far behind, after all, AMD had a reputation for decades at that time.

Wang Anran thought for a while and said to Zhang Lei: "Xiao Lei, you call Director Mo Shaohua and ask him to come to my office." ”

Ten minutes later, Mo Shaohua came to Wang Anran's office.

"Shaohua, this is the order list of Huaxin Technology's Athlon, what do you think?"

Mo Shaohua picked up the list, looked at it, and said: "Mr. Wang, this shows that Huaxin Technology's cost-effective strategy has been proven by the market to be completely feasible. ”

The highest frequency of the Athlon CPU is only $139, which is equivalent to a little over 1,000 yuan, while the price of the Pentium 166 processor with benchmark performance is $229, which is close to 2000 yuan.

Coupled with the advantages of DDR memory, Mo Shaohua can be sure that if he is the head of these companies, he will also choose to embrace Huaxin Technology.

Wang Anran was noncommittal, he saw the newspaper on the table, and the huge page was printed with the introduction of Huaxin Sulon CPU, and there was also general praise in the domestic and foreign media.

The smooth release of the Athlon™ CPU has exceeded Wang Anran's expectations.
