Chapter 237: Meet in New England

After walking around for a while, seeing that it was time for lunch, Hu Yiting said goodbye to his colleagues and walked back to ARM's booth to have lunch with ARM's Harold as agreed.

Hu Yiting walked out of the gate of the pavilion with Harold, walked two hundred meters along Central Avenue and turned into a side street, where he found a restaurant called "New England Bar".

Harold easily pushed the door into the store and sat down at a table in the middle of the store with Hu Yiting: "Every time I used to come to Las Vegas, I used to have lunch at this bar, the beer here is authentic British, the fish and chips are great, especially the coarse fries with creamy onion dipping sauce, I recommend you try it." ”

"Okay, I'd love to try it. ”

Hu Yiting looked around and saw that the shop was decorated with the characteristics of a maritime country, the walls, roof and floor were covered with brown and black oak planks similar to the color of a ship's deck, and it was like being in the inner cabin of a modern galleon, while on the walls hung bundles of light brown cables for old sailboats, white lifebuoys and mahogany rudder discs, and the five stainless steel clocks on the wall representing different city times were also the kind of special marine wall clocks with 24 hours in a circle.

"Do you come to Las Vegas often?" asked Hu Yiting.

"I only come here at the fair," Harold said, "and it's a depraved city full of prostitutes, homeless people, and red-eyed thugs. I don't mean it's bad, it's fun and modern, but I don't like it, I still like quiet places, a small city of more than 10,000 people like Cambridge is big enough, I don't think a place with too many people is for families. ”

"I also love the town of Cambridge, where the idyllic life is so relaxing. ”

"Yes, John Milton said that people should live in a simple way, and that the complexity of the world can ruin the sweetness of life. Harold said, picked up a large beer glass with a capacity of one liter and touched it with Hu Yiting, and then drank half a cup in one sip, it seems that he must be thirsty in the morning.

Hu Yiting was also hungry after shopping all morning, so he let go of his stomach and ate heavily.

Harold's stomach did not change color under half a glass of beer, and he seemed to have a good amount of alcohol, but his eyes became bright, and he became much more energetic, and he began to talk eloquently: "If you go to a few more cities, you will find that the United States is all the same, and the houses and buildings are like industrial products mass-produced on the assembly line, and you will start to get tired of going to a few more places, and find that only the rural fields are worth missing, and eventually you will definitely miss the small town and bring your family back to live there." The next time you come to Cambridge, I invite you to my house, and I show you my garden and greenhouse, and the tomatoes I grow have won prizes at the town's produce competition. ”

"Okay, next time I'll visit your house, how many children do you have?"

"Three, twin sons studying computer science at Trinity College, Cambridge, and a youngest daughter, Catherine, was born last year, she is the most precious gift God has given me, and I am completely satisfied and do not want more. ”

"Wow, I can't tell you that your son is already in college. ”

"Hehe, my wife, whom I met when I was a student at Trinity College, gave birth to these two silly boys as soon as I graduated, what can I say. Saying that, Harold smiled wryly and took out his wallet and showed Hu Yiting the family photo show inside.

"This is my daughter, and her mother wants her to study law like her in the future. Harold pointed to the curly-haired blond baby in his wife's arms in the photo, and he seemed to be in a good mood at the mention of his daughter.

"Beautiful, like a little angel. ”

"Well, she is indeed my angel. ”

"Your two sons are also very handsome. ”

"Haha, you're so much better than these two boys, they can't be engineers at your age, they don't make a penny other than asking me for cars, kayaks, and surfboards. ”

"Hehe, I'm just a special case. ”

"What did your parents do, how did they raise you up to be a genius engineer. Harold was clearly curious about Hu Yiting's upbringing.

So Hu Yiting introduced his family.

Harold said: "To tell you the truth, your family is very ordinary, it is a typical working-class family in England, and I bet that your parents were saints to raise a genius like you." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, but they are as ordinary as other parents in China, the next time you come to China, you will invite me to my house for dinner if you have the chance, but unfortunately my parents do not know English. ”

"That's okay, I'll definitely visit. ”

The two of them pulled home, and before they knew it, they drank a large glass of beer and ate a whole plate of fish and chips.

"How's this onion cream sauce?"

"As good as you say. ”

After eating the staple food, Hu Yiting and Harold had already established a friendship that went beyond business partnerships, and was able to invite each other into their homes, which represented a more intimate relationship in any country than the average friend.

Harold then ordered apple and peach pie and strawberry ice cream, and the two of them ate dessert as they saw more and more customers in the store.

Harold motioned to Hu Yiting to pay attention to the three Chinese who had just come in, and said, "Hu look, Intel's CTO Yu Youcheng, Texas Instruments' Richard Zhang, and NVIDIA's Jason Huang, do you know them? They are Chinese like you." ”

When Hu Yiting heard that it was these three people, he hurriedly looked back, only to see that the three of them found a window position and sat down and began to order, carefully distinguishing, although the three of them were much younger, their faces were vague, it was Yu Youcheng, Zhang Rujing and Huang Jenxun!

"I don't know them, what about you?" Hu Yiting's heart was itching, and he couldn't go up to say hello immediately, in fact, these three people had seen and spoken in their previous lives, but they didn't have a friendship in this life.

Harold stirred the ice cream cup with a spoon and said: "Everyone in the processor industry knows Yu Youcheng, I met Zhang when Texas Instruments taped out the new six-inch wafer fab in Sttgart, he is the technical director of TI responsible for factory construction and commissioning, Huang is the CEO of NVIDIA, a newly established graphics card manufacturer in Silicon Valley, he used to do IC design at AMD, and then came to LSI logic, and now he and his partners have opened a graphics card company, and they have already produced products."

"Can you introduce me to me?" asked Hu Yiting.

"Absolutely. Harold nodded, put down the spoon in his hand, and took Hu Yiting to greet the three of them.

"Hey, Mr. Yu Youcheng, I didn't expect to meet you here......

Long time no see......

Your company's new graphics card is great......"

Harold is a master of interpersonal skills, and as a marketing manager at ARM, he is an essential skill.

The three of them were also very friendly when they saw Harold, knowing that he was one of the senior executives of ARM, and walked out of their positions together with a smile and shook hands with him.

"Let me introduce you to a young Chinese fellow, Hu Yiting, the chief technology officer of Chongguang Company. ”

As soon as Harold said this, Zhang Rujing immediately stretched out his hand and said: "I know, your Shadow Overlord chip design is very good, and Cyrix's new DRAGON processor integrates your instruction set and floating-point register design!"

Hu Yiting hurriedly shook hands with Zhang Rujing: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for the compliment." ”

Huang Jenxun also quickly stretched out his hand and said: "Your instruction set is great, it provides a very great tool for graphics processing, and with your coprocessor, our NV1 graphics card can maximize the 3D processing power and provide a smoother game and multimedia experience! Our company has planned to apply for a patent license from your company to port the built-in multimedia instruction set of Youying Overlord to our graphics card! What a coincidence to meet you today! You look so young!"

Hu Yiting shook hands with Huang Jenxun with a smile and said, "It is also an honor for us to be recognized by your eyes." ”
