Chapter 151: The Network (Two Chapters in One)

Except for the very big hiring at the beginning, there were few surprises after that, and everyone started to get busy and threw themselves into game development. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info For game developers, being able to develop classic and good games is what they love to do!

As the founder of Flamingo and the chief designer of the game, Li Zetian also participated in the development of many projects of the company.

At the same time, Li Zetian is still thinking about Tian Shuai, Zhang Yan, Jobs, Wozniak and others, who are now being proposed by Apple.

……

……

"Mr. Tian, Sony Group sincerely invites you to join as the president of Sony Electronics America, and I hope you will think about it carefully, even if you offer a high salary of $1 million!" said a middle-aged Asian man who came to Tian Shuai's home.

After Yamada Ichiro said this, he picked up the teacup and drank it leisurely, very sure in his heart, Sony offered such good conditions, Tian Shuai couldn't help but be moved!

Tian Shuai frowned lightly and remained silent.

It is true that the conditions offered by Sony are the best, but he is extremely reluctant to work for the Japanese.

"Mr. Tian, don't you agree to such conditions?"

Yamada Ichiro frowned, pushed the frame of his glasses, and said, "Sony is full of sincerity, and it is absolutely impossible for other companies to offer you such good conditions." It is only a company like Sony that has deep pockets and attaches great importance to talents to offer such good conditions. Moreover, if you join Sony, you will have a chance to be promoted in the future!"

"Dididi!"

At this time, Tian Shuai's pager rang, he looked at it, and there was a line written on it: "I'm Chronos, I've built a new company, would you like to come over?"

Of course I do!!

Tian Shuai was overjoyed, quietly put the pager back in his pocket, and then refused to Yamada Ichiro: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yamada Ichiro, I have found a new job!"

"Mr. Tian, as far as I know, you didn't agree to the invitation of another company!!" Yamada Ichiro frowned.

"Yes, I didn't say yes to any company before. Tian Shuai said with a smile.

"Is it because of that pager text message?"

Tian Shuai smiled and said nothing, indicating acquiescence. Li Zetian is such a genius, Tian Shuai is naturally very clear. Therefore, when Li Zetian said that he had established a new company and invited himself, Tian Shuai didn't need to ask what this company was for, he had already agreed directly in his heart, he believed that this would be a company full of legends like Apple!!

Ichiro Yamada said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Tian, Sony has invited you repeatedly, but you have not agreed. The other party just sent you a pager message, and you agreed?! This person has a lot of face!!

After saying this, Yamada Ichiro suddenly thought of something, his face changed, and he said, "Could it be that Chronos Li sent you a message?"

Tian Shuai still smiled and said nothing, and Yamada Ichiro was not stupid, how could he not guess.

The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say more, so Yamada Ichiro took his leave.

……

At the same time, Sony also sent people to dig Zhang Enthalpy.

As soon as the other party spoke, the indignant Zhang Yan coldly refused: "Tell Sony that Lao Tzu doesn't work for the Japanese!!"

"Mr. Zhang, Sony's treatment is good, don't you think about it?!"

"Consider a fart, no matter how good the treatment is, Lao Tzu will not agree!"

At this time, his pager also rang.

As soon as he saw that it was Li Zetian establishing a company and sending him an invitation message, Zhang Yan immediately laughed, and then showed the pager to the other party, and said: "See, my boss has established a new company again, and now call me over to help! If it weren't for my boss's car accident, what is Sony, and the Walkman you developed also wants to seize the market of the Walkman? Moreover, I am very disdainful of your Sony's naked ~~ plagiarism! Well, you don't have to talk nonsense, you can go!!"

……

……

On the same day, Tian Shuai, Zhang Yan, Jobs, and Wozniak rushed to Li Zetian's house again. After Li Zetian woke up, they had already come to visit once, but Li Zetian's body was relatively weak at that time, and he didn't think about how to arrange them, so he didn't talk to them too much.

At the end of July, the four arrived at Li Zetian's Beverly Hills villa.

Zhang Yan was the first to arrive here, and as soon as they met, Zhang Yan asked Li Zetian excitedly: "Chronos, what good things have you designed this time?!"

Li Zetian thought for a while and said, "What changes the world......

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, and didn't come back to his senses for a while.

"Mr. Li, what did you design this time that could change the world?!" Zhang Yan was full of curiosity.

Li Zetian smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's go into the house, and I'll tell you later!" By the way, Tian Shuai, Jobs, and Wozniak are on the way, and they will come over soon. ”

"Oh, okay. ”

Zhang Yan nodded helplessly, he knew that Li Zetian had always liked to sell guanzi, and he would not answer if he asked.

Half an hour later, Tian Shuai, Zhang Yan, Jobs, and Wozniak arrived.

Li Zetian took them to the small conference room in the villa, and after everyone sat down, Li Zetian said: "I have asked Dongfang Yuqin to establish two companies for me, one company is called Galaxy Network Company, and the other company is called Sun Computer System Company. ”

"It's the galaxy again, it's the sun again, Mr. Li, the names of these two companies are very domineering!!" Zhang Yan said with a smile.

Li Zetian said with a smile: "Fame and domineering are to make it easy for people to remember, which is conducive to brand promotion." ”

Tian Shuai was puzzled: "Mr. Li, Sun Computer Systems Company is supposed to develop computers, what is this Galaxy Network Company doing, I'm a little puzzled?"

Zhang Yan, Jobs, and Wozniak also looked puzzled.

Li Zetian explained with a smile: "Xerox has developed Ethernet, which is a kind of local area network, if several computers are connected through Ethernet, they can form a local area network to achieve communication between each other, which brings great benefits to communication, scientific research, office, and even the game industry! For example, the game bar used to be just a computer playing stand-alone, but when connected to the local area network, many people can interact and play games together, and this alone can attract countless computer users. In addition, everyone should know that the ARPA Internet Café is the most widely used network today, and the world's leading universities and research institutes are connected through this network. Therefore, the combination of Ethernet and ARPANET can connect many computers together to form a larger network. Every computer that wants to join this network must first install a network adapter, or "network card" for short. You can imagine if all computers were added to this network, how promising the market would be for network cards?"

As soon as the words fell, the four people present couldn't help but be moved.

In fact, Li Zetian still has a lot to say, such as switches, routers and the like, the road has to be walked step by step, and the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, not in a hurry.

Currently, there are no switches for connections between computers, but something called a hub. The hub is like a big horn, one person speaks, it amplifies it for everyone to hear, and only one person can speak at the same time. The switch can also be used as a speaker, but it also has a function, if A wants to talk to B alone and doesn't want others to hear, you can do it through the switch, but the hub cannot. Moreover, the hub shares the bandwidth, and the number of people has to be divided by the number, and the bandwidth is exclusive to each person in the switch.

The presence of hubs can promote the sales of network cards. But obviously, this thing is very flawed, and it is inevitable that it will be replaced by switches and routers!

At this time, Jobs asked: "Galaxy Network Corporation develops network cards, but what about Sun Computer Systems, which also develops personal computers like Apple?"

Li Zetian shook his head, "Right now, personal computers are becoming popular, and computer giants have launched products to seize the market, and the competition is fierce. We target where they neglect. Li Zetian paused, leaving everyone a short time to think, and then continued, "This goal is the graphics workstation!!

"Graphics workstation?"

Everyone was a little surprised, they didn't expect Li Zetian to target this aspect. "Graphics workstation" is a general term for a high-end dedicated computer specializing in graphics, images (static), images (dynamic) and video work, whether it is animation, data visualization processing or even CAD/CAM and EDA, the system requires strong graphics processing capabilities.

Li Zetian said: "The graphics workstation is actually a kind of high-end microcomputer, which can be used for CAD part design, animation production and print advertising design, engineering analysis and calculation, simulation and so on, the market is huge, and the profit is more than that of personal computers." Today's PCs are available for hundreds of dollars, and their margins have been very low. As a start-up company, Sun Computer Systems Co., Ltd. naturally has to develop graphics workstations if it wants to compete with other companies! As far as I know, no company has set its sights on graphics workstations, and this is our opportunity! After the graphics workstations are developed, only one film special effects company (Industrial Light & Magic) under my name needs to purchase dozens of units, and I believe that graphics workstations are widely used in the field of film and television!

When everyone heard this, they felt that what Li Zetian said was very reasonable, and they couldn't help but nod their heads. In fact, the personal computer market is still quite profitable, but graphics workstations are even more profitable. The Sun computer system company founded by Li Zetian is almost a reference to the Sun company in the previous life. Sun doesn't actually mean the sun, but an acronym for Stanford-University-Network, which started with the development of graphics workstations and later invented the Java language, creating a myth of more than $200 billion!

Of course, Li Zetian did not completely give up on personal computers, he still kept an eye on Apple's dynamics, and when it was about to go bankrupt, he would buy it, and then turn the tide to show his awesomeness as the founder of the company!!

Li Zetian smiled: "After the development of graphics workstations, Sun Computer Systems has accumulated experience in developing high-performance computers, and can enter the minicomputer server, relying on powerful graphics processing capabilities, and can even beat DEC and IBM to become the king of minicomputers!!

After speaking, Li Zetian's gaze wandered among the four of them, and then asked, "Which company do you four plan to join?"

Zhang Yan looked at Tian Shuai, the two of them had a close relationship.

Wozniak looked at Jobs, counting on him to make up his mind.

The four of them whispered.

In the end, Tian Shuai and Zhang Yan were willing to join Galaxy Network, while Jobs and Wozniak were willing to join Sun Computer Systems.

Li Zetian did not treat them badly, although he did not directly give shares, but promised to give 5% options to each person, and the company will naturally cash in when it grows and grows.

After signing the contract, Li Zetian left them at home for dinner, stayed overnight, and talked for one night.

Sun Computer Systems Company, Li Zetian explained a little less, nothing more than to tell them to develop a geometry generator, that is, a custom chip that can accelerate the establishment of models, and use hardware to accelerate the geometric transformation of graphics, reducing the burden of the central processing unit on a large number of graphics processing, and providing dynamic graphics functions that are incomparable to other workstations!

As for Galaxy Network Company, Li Zetian said much more.

"Ethernet technology was invented by Xerox, but Xerox obviously doesn't know how to make money from it, and this is our opportunity! In addition, Ethernet has not yet become a standard, and we can cooperate with Xerox to become the developer and promoter of the standard, and then get a free license from Xerox. Xerox provides the technology, Intel produces related chips, and Galaxy Network produces 'network cards', and the combination of the three will definitely make Ethernet beat other LAN technologies and become the industry standard!"

"Well, okay, we got ......" Tian Shuai and Zhang Yan nodded.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, the four of them left the villa and went back to their respective homes. A week later, I will report to the company. Galaxy Networks and Sun Computer Systems are both in Los Angeles.

Li Zetian knew that from the moment he crossed over, he caused a butterfly effect and changed the world.

Before the creation of Apple, the personal computer frenzy was set off in advance.

Now that Galaxy Network has been created, the Internet in this world will develop much faster than in previous lives. The network card is just the first step of Galaxy Network, followed by routers and switches. In the early days of the Internet, many ISPs rented telephone lines from telephone companies to provide dial-up Internet access services for Internet users. Traditional telephone exchanges cannot achieve this function, and advanced program-controlled exchanges are required to manage telephone voice services and broadband services in an orderly and separate manner.

Now, more and more things are starting to be different from the previous life, but the general direction of development should not change, and Li Zetian is still able to make the most correct choice with the memory of his previous life.

PS: A little more tomorrow.
