The International Consumer Electronics Show, or CES for short, is a window for major electronics companies around the world to release product information and showcase high-tech and advocate future lifestyles. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The products developed by Li Zetian's companies often participate in CES and become the star products of the exhibition.

This year, Sun Computer Systems will be showcasing the Sun 1.0 graphics workstation with ARM1 processors, as well as Intel's new processor, the Intel-80826.

Li Zetian is looking forward to the performance of Sun1.0 graphics workstations, knowing that the profits of workstations, servers, and supercomputers are very high, and Sun Computer Systems is used to compete in these fields. In addition, Li Zetian has been researching artificial intelligence, and he will definitely need to develop a supercomputer in the future! In 1997, IBM's supercomputer "Deep Blue" defeated the national chess king Kasparov, causing a sensation all over the world. However, since Li Zetian is here, he naturally wants to grab such glory!

On Friday this week, Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin went to Las Vega to attend CES.

CES has been held for 15 years since 1967, and its influence has become more and more influential, with more than 100,000 visitors and more than 300 manufacturers.

The scene was full of people and lively.

In addition to his own booths, Li Zetian also pays attention to the product booths of other companies, so as to deduce the current technological development from these products. After all, there is a butterfly effect, and Li Zetian can't completely follow the memories of his previous life.

Many booths at CES already had ShowGirls dressed in revealing and sexy clothes, and when these MMs saw Li Zetian, they all threw flattering eyes, swayed their bodies, and flirted with their style, hoping to attract the attention of billionaires.

Li Zetian didn't think anything wrong about them, at most he was too addicted, Dongfang Yuqin didn't have a good face for them, and glared at them coldly as a warning.

When the person in charge of the company at each booth saw Li Zetian coming, he must take the initiative to step forward and introduce his company's products.

The CES exhibition is really dazzling, full of technology, and the best understanding of the current consumer electronics situation.

Sony, Panasonic, Hitachi and other Japanese manufacturers came a lot, and their booths attracted a lot of onlookers, which really made Japanese companies unique!

Li Zetian shook his head and sighed, and left quietly.

In the eighties and nineties, Japan's economy developed rapidly, and Japanese companies were indeed very good, which is indisputable, especially automobiles, electrical appliances, and electronic products, almost beating the United States, during this time, the United States did not know how many automobile companies went bankrupt, how many television companies went bankrupt...... In particular, Detroit, the automobile city of the United States, has almost become the "city of death"!

Li Zetian continued to stroll, and after a while, he noticed something interesting -- a graphics workstation was also displayed at the SGI booth. However, the performance is much worse than that of the Sun 1.0 graphics workstation, and no one cares about it.

Li Zetian knows SGI well enough to be founded in 1982. However, it may be because of the butterfly effect, so it was established a little earlier, but not too early.

The founder of the company is Dr. Jim Clark!

He is not only the founder of SGI, but also the founder of Netscape and Healtheom, and many people have commented that he is "one of the most influential people in Silicon Valley in the next 20 years", and many engineers call him a great legend.

In fact, what really attracted Li Zetian was not the graphics workstation product on the booth, but Dr. Jim Clark standing next to the booth. Li Zetian is confident that given enough money, engineers, and time, SGI will soon become Sun Computer Systems' strongest competitor under the leadership of Dr. Jim Clark.

In its past, SGI was a leading provider of high-performance computing systems, complex data management, and visualization products in the industry. It offers the world's best collection of servers as well as visualization workstations with supercomputing power. For five years, SGI grew at an average rate of 40-50 percent, making it the fastest growing computer company in the world.

Unfortunately, Dr. Jim Clark was eventually pushed out of the company as a scientist, and with him the SGI legend fell......

Li Zetian smiled slightly, and in his heart he already planned to subdue Dr. Jim Clark and make him a general under his command!

Dr. Jim Clark was depressed for a long time, Sun Computer Systems also came to CES, and Sun's Sun 1.0 graphics workstation was much, much more powerful than the graphics workstation developed by SGI, and it was hardly on the same level.

Of course, this is a "non-war crime", not because Dr. Jim Clark is not skilled enough, but because the other side is not fighting alone.

The SGI Graphics Workstation was developed by Dr. Jim Clark and a team of engineers with limited development. The Sun 1.0 workstation was developed by hundreds of senior engineers, and also uses the high-performance processor ARM1 designed and developed by ARM based on the RISC reduced instruction set.

How can this be compared?

In fact, Dr. Jim Clark is a leading figure in the field when it comes to graphics workstations, having earned his Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Utah in 1974 and began thinking about how to make 3D graphics computing available to engineers.

It's a pity that he was born at the wrong time and met a perverted character like Li Zetian.

So, at the CES showcase, SGI's graphics workstations were overshadowed.

At this moment, Dr. Jim Clark was surprised when he saw Li Zetian walking towards him.

"Hello, Mr. Li!" said Dr. Jim Clark.

"Are you?" asked Li Zetian as he deliberately pretended not to know.

"I am Dr. Jim Clark, the founder and CEO of SGI. ”

"Hello, Dr. Jim Clark, it's a pleasure to meet you, this is the SGI graphics workstation developed by your company......" Li Zetian deliberately turned his head to look at the workstation on the booth. He can't just come and say, "Hey, Dr. Jim Clark, don't do it, me!" It's too abrupt, first look at their company's products, then praise the products for being good, and then recruit Dr. Jim Clark, that's the right way to recruit talent.

Dr. Jim Clark blushed because he knew that SGI's graphics workstations were a far cry from the Sun 1.0 workstations developed by Sun Computer Systems, a company owned by Li Zetian.

Li Zetian looked at the data introduction above, and then personally went into battle to operate, and finally he turned around and smiled: "Dr. Jim Clark, if it weren't for Sun 1.0, this SGI graphics workstation would definitely be the highlight of this CES!"

Dr. Jim Clark smiled wryly, "Maybe......"

"Dr. Jim Clark, SGI is a start-up, right?" asked Li Zetian.

"Hmm. ”

"It's great that a start-up company can develop such a product!" Dr. Jim Clark, on behalf of Sun Computer Systems, I would like to formally extend an offer to SGI to acquire it!"

Dr. Jim Clark frowned, "Mr. Li, the SGI graphics workstation is nothing compared to the Sun 1.0 graphics workstation. Why did you buy SGI?"

Li Zetian smiled and said, "Dr. Jim Clark, because of you, I want to acquire OSI, and I very much hope that you can join Sun Computer Systems and create a brilliant !! with us."

Dr. Jim Clark was touched not to be wanted.

If this were to be said by the CEO of an ordinary company, Dr. Jim Clark might not care much. However, these words came from Li Zetian, which is different. Li Zetian is also a super genius, a billionaire, and has created countless business legends, such a person looks at him differently, can Dr. Jim Clark not be moved?

Acquisition of the company is only for one person!

This is enough to see Li Zetian's sincerity.

Dr. Jim Clark was impressed.

At this time, Li Zetian continued: "Dr. Jim Clark, Sun Computer Systems has an equity incentive mechanism, and with your ability, you will definitely get a good reward!"

Dr. Jim Clark glanced at his colleagues, all of whom were looking at him excitedly, waiting for his decision.

"Mr. Li, I've decided to sell SGI to Sun Computer Systems!" Dr. Jim Clark replied after a moment's pause, then looked at Li Zetian.

Li Zetian was overjoyed, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Dr. Jim Clark, welcome to Sun Computer Systems!" Then, he shook hands with several other SGI employees, not to snub them.

Subsequently, an agreement was reached between the two parties, in which Sun Computer Systems paid $1 million to buy SGI, and SGI employees were automatically transferred to Sun employees, specifically stipulating that Dr. Jim Clark would have to stay with Sun Computer Systems for at least five years before leaving the company, and that he would not be able to do any work if he did. As compensation, Li Zetian made him the company's chief technology officer, offering a high salary.

Then, Li Zetian asked Dongfang Yuqin to draft the agreement, and the two sides signed the contract on the spot, so as not to have too many dreams at night, after all, many people saw Li Zetian and Dr. Jim Clark in contact with them, and it would be bad if someone made a ghost out of it.

After the contract was signed, Li Zetian took Dr. Jim Clark to the Sun Computer Systems booth, introduced them to Steve Jobs and Wozniak, and told them about the acquisition of SGI.

When he was done, Li Zetian asked Dr. Jim Clark, "How did you come up with the idea of founding SGI?"

Dr. Jim Clark laughed, "The reason is funny, I saw several students from Stanford University, such as Andy Becktoson and Scott Marconirie, drop out of school to start Moon Microsystems, and I couldn't help but be very envious, so I also decided to leave Stanford University and start SGI!" After a pause, Dr. Jim Clark laughed, "As far as I know, they probably came to CES as well......

"Ahem......"

When Li Zetian heard this, he couldn't help coughing several times, Andy Becktosen and Scott Marconelli were the founders of Sun in his previous life......

"Dr. Jim Clark, do you know where their booth is? I'd like to see ......."

In fact, Li Zetian's words were not finished, and should be followed by such a sentence: "By the way, catch them all!"

In the graphics workstation market, SGI and ...... Moon Microsystems will be two of Sun's most powerful competitors, and since SGI has been acquired, why not acquire Moon Microsystems to enhance its technical capabilities and monopolize the market!

Dr. Jim Clark smiled, apparently having guessed Li Zetian's intentions: "Mr. Li, please come with me, I know where they are!"
