In the eyes of later generations, in 2002, the tablet tablet as a giveaway for Sam's Nation Today set off a revolution in e-books.

This tablet not only meets the reading requirements of newspaper users, but also allows you to buy genuine e-books at a very low price in the micro-hardware and software store.

For people who are accustomed to reading in paper media, it is a difficult process to accept electronic reading, and even many traditional readers bluntly say that e-books, this way of reading, can not allow them to immerse themselves in the reading experience, of course, the most repercussions, is nothing more than that the LCD screen is a self-luminous device, looking at the LCD screen for a long time, will affect people's eyesight.

No matter how much opponents resist the electronic reading method of tablets, they will not affect the fact that tablets have entered thousands of households, and such a process is even faster than the car replacing the horse-drawn carriage.

No matter how many disadvantages there are, no one can deny that a tablet that can be held with one hand can store thousands of books, dozens of movies, font style and size, background color, etc., can be freely customized, which can never be achieved in paper media, but tablets can be very easily done.

Compared with paper media, this is the progress of the times, this is the power of science and technology, which cannot be stopped.

Due to a fire at the port, from the moment he received the compensation from the insurance company, Mr. Trek called Philips and Nikon to urgently order 16 lithography machines, requesting that they be delivered in the shortest possible time.

Although the first good cooperation faced many twists and turns because of a fire, both parties were satisfied, and the only insurance company that was not satisfied at this time could only hide in the corner alone to heal the wounds on his body.

The unexpected popularity of tablets in the Sam's Country market has given both buyers and sellers a strong desire to expand their production lines.

For the two suppliers, although the lithography machine itself has a high technology content, but the chip production industry, often hundreds of millions of dollars of investment, coupled with only a few chip design companies in the world, compared with most industries, the threshold of this line is too high, not to mention any large companies, even some large countries, in the face of the chip design and production industry, is also prohibitive.

Even in 2018 before Zhang Yi's rebirth, the chip industry of the Celestial Empire was still too far away compared with the world's first-class chip companies, whether it was R&D or production capacity.

A small tablet, there are two things that the future of the Celestial Empire lacks the most.

The first is hardware, mainly the processor chip of the tablet, which is redeveloped by thoroughly understanding and transforming Intel's tablet technology. Get the chip technology that belongs to the Celestial Empire micro hardware and software. Build professional barriers. You must know that in the previous negotiations with Intel, Zhang Yi paid a price far more than the chip itself, and finally obtained the permanent authorization of Intel's X and 3DNO and X8664 instruction sets.

At that time, in Intel's opinion, this little boss was really naïve, c

The instruction set on the machine, which you integrate into a low-power tablet CU, is really useless, but it is not necessary. After all, when the tablet chip was sold to Zhang Yi, a special set of instructions was also packaged and sold to him, with this set of instructions, the tablet is completely no problem to run, and in this regard, Microsoft has proven its reliability.

It's just that they didn't expect that Zhang Yi got inspiration from Intel in the previous life. Around 2012 in the previous life, Intel quietly integrated an iOS micro operating system for all CU chips, through which all instruction sets can run safely and reliably.

And around 2017, Intel's microsystem was deciphered by the hacker team, because this microsystem, closest to the underlying hardware, hackers can easily bypass the firewall and gain control of the computer.

As a last resort, Intel released the detailed technical details of this microsystem, and for a while, everyone was in danger, and everyone was afraid that their computers would be remotely controlled by hackers.

This incident had a great impact at that time, and Zhang Yi, as a programmer, also had a detailed understanding of the details of this technology.

This is Zhang Yi's weapon to achieve corner overtaking, no matter what type of CPU, with this set of microsystems, he can achieve the greatest degree of compatibility, now it's just a tablet, what about the future?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer, it is estimated that Intel never dreamed that its own technology would become such a dangerous competitor.

On the other hand, it is the little green robot, the Android operating system. This is a big killer of Apple's iOS system on the mobile operating system in the previous life.

Because the micro-hardware software is not listed, and the company is not obliged to disclose production and revenue, everyone takes it for granted that the CU used in the tablet is all owned by TSMC, and its technology comes from the acquired Intel tablet development group.

It's just that the joint development tablet plan of Microsoft and Intel was stillborn because of Microsoft's willfulness, and this technology that was sentenced to death was turned into treasure through Zhang Yi's golden finger.

With regard to the purchase agreement that was supplemented by the fire, coupled with the well-known hot sales of tablets, the Batumi Commission's review of TSMC's new purchase of lithography machines is only perfunctory and should be the case.

After TSMC's container trucks entered TSMC's new plant in the south, the personnel of the Batumi Committee members returned home early.

Late at night, the container vehicles that entered the factory during the day drove out of the factory gate one after another, speeding towards the distant port.

At the same time, in the Keelung Port in the north, TSMC's special cargo ship pulled boxes of old and obsolete lithography equipment and sailed to the Kaohsiung Port in the south.

A month later, when the examiners of the Batumi Committee saw that several production lines of TSMC in the south were in production, they were very happy

The review mission was completed.

In the Nanhu Science and Technology Park in Haijin, many micro-hardware and software interns also ended their internships at Nikon and Philips and started to operate a brand-new lithography machine.

Reflecting on the electronics market, some large stores such as Best Buy and Wal-Mart have dedicated counters for the sale of micro-hardware tablet computers for the first time, and Carrefour, a large supermarket in Europe, has also put tablet computers on the shelves.

Before, many people felt incomprehensible about the behavior of "Sam's Nation Today", free of charge to users who subscribe to the newspaper, the behavior of giving tablet computers, after all, such an advanced tablet computer, the cost must be expensive, if it has been sent for free, no matter how big the company, it will have to be dragged down.

And now, no matter anyone, Sam's Country, Europe, or the Celestial Empire, can buy tablets freely at a lot of prices.

On the morning of the first day of independent sales of tablets, the large conference room of Sam's Country headquarters in the shape of a flying saucer, which can accommodate thousands of people, was unexpectedly full.

On the stage, an auction house holding an auction hammer, is hoarsely shouting the boot start screen, a month's time, the starting price of 1 million US dollars, just finished speaking, the sound of bidding under the stage has not stopped, the final auction price is as high as 10 million US dollars, a premium of more than 10 times. Although the company I photographed is also a little painful about this price, I think of the millions of tablet users who are still increasing, every time I open the tablet, it is my company's product, and how many new customers will it bring. What's more, the customers who buy tablets are basically middle-class people who are the backbone of Sam's country's consumption, according to the other party, this is the most accurate marketing.

The auction continues.

Sam's Nation Today's electronic version of the frontispiece, a total of 30 ad slots, rolling broadcast, every 3 seconds, starting at $100,000, with the top 30 highest bids getting a month's advertising time. The sound of the auction hammer kept slamming on the table, and one by one customers were born.

Micro hardware compression software launch interface advertisement, the starting price of 1 million US dollars, a month of time, this was once the first downloaded software, and now still has a lot of fans, and the auction price is also high in Zhizhi.

Micro hard music player launch interface advertisement, starting price of $5 million, a month. As soon as the auction content was finished, the merchants in the audience kept refreshing the price, unlike the compression software, the competitors this time were basically all major record companies, these record companies, but the real big money owners, all made money and made soft money. In particular, Columbia Records, in the past two years, has hugged the lap of the genius musician Zhang Yi, breaking the world record for single record sales one after another, leaving the old rival Time Warner far behind.

For the biggest weight to compete with opponents, the auctions held by Zhang Yi's company must be held with the greatest goodwill

Show your support. didn't say it, Columbia Records, the first time it raised the card, it raised the price to 50 million US dollars, and for a while, the conference room instantly fell into a state of silence, and the advertising price has soared to the sky, but seeing that the person holding the card is a person from Columbia Records, everyone can also express their understanding.

After all, it was with Zhang Yi's more than a dozen songs, the first one that exploded, making him turn over as a serf and sing, and press his old rival Warner Records under him to rub wantonly.

No matter how much kind words you say, it's useless, in Sam's Country, the standard for measuring everything is money, and if you thank the other person, you have to express it in money.

With such a strong effort to show support for a Celestial Empire, the headquarters of the plaster country has some opinions, but unfortunately, although the current Sam Country Columbia Records, although the ownership belongs to Sony, Sony's control over it has fallen to a historical low point since the moment the general manager of the branch was squeezed out.

No way, in the years when Sony has been in huge losses, Columbia's brilliant performance is a highlight, and even the investment value of Sony's entertainment division has been repeatedly touted by stock critics.
