Chapter 210: Intel Flat Chips

In the eyes of Otellnine and Barrett, the young man introduced by Jobs was a little too full of words.

The Grammy Awards were ordered, and they had to admit that the other party had an extraordinary level of lyrics and composition.

At a young age, he can become Apple's chief technology officer, and there is no doubt about the level of software.

But the hardware industry is a different field entirely.

You must know that even Microsoft, the overlord of the C industry, even designed a tablet-oriented operating system in order to make this tablet, but in the end, it ended up with no problems.

Micro-hardware software, such a small character in the software industry, how can he boast of Haikou, which has an annual sales of tens of millions of units.

Seeing the somewhat contemptuous eyes of the two, Jobs, who was sitting next to him and didn't say a word, coughed lightly.

The two instantly understood that no matter what they thought of this young man, Jobs, who had a paranoid personality, could recognize this person, and they couldn't afford to ignore him.

In the tech industry, no matter which company, you have to show respect for Steve Jobs in front of you, even tel.

No way, Jobs' prestige is too great. Even the bullish Bill Gates, he is sarcastic if he wants to be sarcastic, and he can be scolded, without saving you a little face.

Zhang Yi is also helpless about the contempt of the two, after all, he has always been engaged in things that have nothing to do with hardware, and he wants the big brother in the hardware industry to recognize him. At the moment, it's simply not possible.

Only with the help of Jobs's tiger skin and pulling up the banner can we talk about cooperation fairly.

"Since my debut, I have been very fond of gambling, not in Las Vegas, of course, but against partners!"

Hearing this, Jobs smiled and said to the two, "This kid really likes to gamble, and the agreement signed with Apple is a gambling agreement!"

"I also heard that the record he collaborated with Sony Colombia involved a gambling agreement!"

Zhang Yi answered: "Yes, I signed a gambling agreement with the record company, and I won the bet! As for the agreement with Apple, the time stipulated in the agreement has not yet arrived, and there is no winner for the time being. ”

Barrett and Otellenne looked at each other and smiled.

"And what do you want to bet with tel?" asked Odenin with interest.

"After the product is produced, the annual sales will reach 10 million units, and if it can't be reached, I will pay tel double the price of the chip. ”

Jobs followed up with "What if it was reached?"

"Tel will transfer all the patents involved in the flat panel chip to the Micro Hardware Sam Country Branch for a transfer price of 10 million US dollars!"

Barrett smiled silently, but Odenin lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Jobs and Zhang Yi whispered, "It seems that the rumors that Barrett is about to retire are not groundless, and in the future, the power of Tel should be handed over to Ou Dening, and I want to fight with TEL."

Deal with each other, pay attention to communicate with Otellin. ”

He nodded in understanding.

Looking at Jobs and Zhang Yi, who were talking to each other, Odenning frowned.

The intimacy of the relationship between the two can be seen even by a fool, no matter what, they can't offend this young man.

You know, Jobs was notoriously arrogant, and few people could have such an intimate relationship with him.

In fact, the Tabletc plan, which has been completely abandoned by Microsoft, has no value for Tel, and in this case, even if it is transferred to this young man, there is nothing, and it can even be said to be a waste utilization.

The chip design of the flat plate is completely different from C's, so it can be said that it is a new one.

In this case, there is no need to worry about micro hardware and software, and after obtaining the chip design patent, entering the C market will endanger the core interests of TEL.

Thinking about it, he also completely gave up the idea of robbing the other party while the fire was hot.

After all, in this tablet market, he does not see any hope of success at all. The current tel, under the guidance of Moore's law, the founder of Moore, has continuously increased the computing frequency and chip density of CU, coupled with Microsoft's divine assistance, and has lived an incomparably moisturized life, and the tablet-specific chips that cannot see the future are not even chicken ribs for them.

"So, Mr. Zhang, is your tablet going to use Microsoft's operating system?" asked Ou Dening with some curiosity.

"Of course not, I don't like the redundancy and fancy of Microsoft's operating system!" Zhang Yi replied categorically.

Just kidding, Jobs is by his side, and if he wants to express his affection for Microsoft, he will touch the sensitive nerves of the other party.

Blink of an eye at Jobs with a satisfied face, Odenin seemed to understand something.

However, the size of Apple's system is also very large, if you use a tablet to run, I am afraid that the CU of the tablet will not be able to run at all, and the speed is estimated to be as slow as a cow.

Otelleng didn't ask any further, but Jobs was lost in thought.

He knows that it is impossible for the Apple system to be loaded into a tablet, and Zhang Yi does not use Microsoft's tablet system.

So, what kind of tablet system does he use?

Developing an operating system is not too difficult for Zhang Yi's software level.

However, the difficulty of the operating system is not in the development, but in the testing, in the ecosystem.

At the beginning, Microsoft developed DOS2000 in only two years and cost about $200 million, while it took five years to test it and cost nearly $1 billion.

Apple's own AS system, the previous testing progress was slow, for this reason, Jobs tried his best, heartbreaking, but the progress has not improved.

Until Zhang Yi appeared, in a month, the test progress surpassed that of Apple

years of test progress.

Therefore, he looked at Zhang Yi differently and tried his best to meet Zhang Yi's request.

"I agree to this agreement in principle, but there is no need for a VAM. The design patent of the chip, we can transfer it to you for 20 million dollars. As for the quality of sales, that's your ability, we won't get involved!"

Turning his head to look at Jobs, he nodded at Zhang Yi, indicating that the price was still okay.

That is, a chip giant like tel can not care about these. If you start from scratch with a flat panel chip, you may not even see a splash if you throw $200 million into it. In this era, there is no R company to design chips, there is no Rockchip to manufacture chips, and if you want to engage in a tablet system, there is no ready-made solution, and everything has to be done by yourself. Not to mention Zhang Yi's micro-hardware and software, even if it is Apple, it is an impossible task.

As we all know, Apple has always had its own chip design department, which spends extremely high R&D funds every year, but has achieved little results. The reason is that companies like tel, with patent walls, keep latecomers out of the door, and the price paid for overtaking in corners is far beyond imagination.

"I accept this price, but you two also know that microhardware and software do not have chip design capabilities. Therefore, your company's original flat panel chip design team will all be transferred to me!"

"Intel can give them a choice whether to join the hardware or stay at Intel. However, you have to convince them on your own terms, and if they don't agree, we can't force them to join your company. ”

"Okay, then we can let the legal department dock and negotiate the specific contract!"

In fact, Zhang Yi still has some doubts, after all, the chip industry is the core high-tech industry of Sam Country.

He was afraid that some people in Sam's Congress would jump out and block the implementation of the agreement.
