Hu Yiting, who finished his speech, was satisfied, and got off the stage while the applause in the theater was still warm.

"That's great! Hu Yiting, what you said is so good!" Wang Lili said excitedly, waving her fist.

"Mr. Hu, you can make a big advertisement for our QQ this time!" Xiaoma was full of joy on his face, seeing Hu Yiting attaching so much importance to the QQ project, he felt that his work was so important.

Hu Yiting's colleagues also gave a standing ovation, their eyes were full of heartfelt appreciation, and even some admiration, Hu Yiting smiled and kept nodding to everyone to thank him, feeling relieved, and said that he was not ugly, and the audience was very accepting of my advertisement.

That night, Hu Yiting lay on the mattress in the guest room, and the faces of the audience when he gave a speech appeared in his mind, and the faces of the audience when he gave a speech were all in response to his speech, and he was able to make a speech in front of 15,000 people, and this extraordinary experience was enough to cherish for his life.

Thinking about the organizer SoftBank Company, I originally expected to take technical explanation as the theme, but seeing that the wood was already in the boat, in desperation, I probably didn't want to condemn myself again, so the good guy couldn't be the bad guy.

Because he was still excited, Hu Yiting couldn't sleep after tossing and turning in bed, and his mind was full of various ideas, and he finally decided on one of them, and he felt that it was time to take down the authorization of MIPS.

Like the ARM architecture, the MIPS architecture is also a reduced instruction set RISC processor architecture, but in terms of specific market positioning, it and ARM take two routes.

ARM's future development positioning is low power consumption and low cost performance, which is easy to embed in various small mobile devices, while MIPS is ambitious to pursue higher performance in order to compete with the X86 architecture in various industrial equipment that requires powerful computing performance.

The purpose of MIPS has indeed been achieved, the MIPS architecture in the 90s has a higher performance instruction set than the ARM architecture, and the performance is strong, but the power consumption is also higher, but before the mobile computing demand blowout, the power consumption is not a problem at all, and no one cares about the power consumption of the processor in the device more than ten watts.

Therefore, products using MIPS architecture are widely used in network routers and servers, and most of Cisco's products use MIPS architecture processors, so MIPS is very nourishing in these years, and a group of American venture capital companies are rushing to invest in him, and there is no money to spend at all.

When Loongson found MIPS when the project was established in 2000, the lion asked for $10 million, and finally the state privately dredged the negotiations through various channels, so it was about $5 million.

When he first obtained the ARM authorization, Hu Yiting considered the authorization of MIPS, but at that time, 5 million US dollars was more precious for Chongguang, which was not long in the start-up.

And now Hu Yiting feels that money is no longer an obstacle, and it is now 1995, MIPS is not so strong for the time being, and it should not offer a sky-high price of $10 million, as long as it is around $5 million, it is acceptable.

Considering this, Hu Yiting began to wander in his brain, carefully combing through the instruction set and IP core design of the MIPS architecture one by one, and the more he thought about it, the more tired he felt, and finally fell asleep.

The next day, November 16th, is the last day of the COMDEX show, and after the exhibition closes, the technical elite of Chongguang will go to New York on the 17th to visit the headquarters of Bell Labs and IBM in Armonk, New York.

On the last day of the exhibition, the flow of people was significantly sparse, and many companies began to pack up their booths in advance at noon and prepare to leave.

Hu Yiting was afraid of delay, so he took Wang Lili and Wu Shihuan to the booth of SGI Silicon Map Company early in the morning, MIPS was acquired by SGI in 92, SGI as a veteran graphics workstation manufacturer, has deep experience in 3D graphics processing, and many Hollywood movies use his graphics workstation for special effects production, such as "Titanic", "Jurassic Park", "The Lord of the Rings" and so on.

Talks with the SGI went very well, thanks to Hu Yiting's current status as a "celebrity", and after last night's speech, this super young Chinese guy has become an iconic figure in the rise of China's IT.

After the SGI acquired MIPS, it changed its name to MTI and operated as its subsidiary, and now it has a bunch of venture capital and is preparing to go public, and the financial statements before the listing are naturally as bright as possible, so during this period, MIPS is looking for customers to sell technology licenses.

Larry Hayes, the person in charge of MTI, invited the three of them into their MTI's own booth and sat down, took out a detailed authorization information for Hu Yiting to see, and answered the questions of the three one by one.

Hu Yiting knew that SGI Silicon Map would be acquired in 09 due to the debt crisis, and the new company was renamed Silicon Map International, and then sold off its assets in 12 years, selling MTI, which was not doing well, for $400 million.

At that time, MTI was no longer in the limelight, because they had previously licensed a large number of patents in the form of full licensing, and various companies developed improved successor products on the basis of them, gradually getting rid of MTI's technical dependence, while MTI's own technological progress was lackluster, compared to the rapid development of ARM, the progress can be described as slow.

After determining that Chongguang needed a full technical license for the MIPS architecture, Larry Hayes did not hesitate to offer a figure that he said was the current market price - $5 million.

Hu Yiting pretended to hesitate, but he knew that the price was not expensive, and when MTI was listed, the funds would be sufficient, and once the uncle's shelf was put up, the price would have to be doubled, unless there was a country like Loongson to help dredge the negotiations, or simply wait for MTI to decline before starting.

Of course, Hu Yiting can't wait that long, and if he misses this time window now, it will be a pity!

Seeing that Larry Hayes did not intend to give in, Hu Yiting had no choice but to admit defeat and nod in agreement to use 5 million to win the full authorization of MIPS.

Holding the thick stack of authorization contracts printed out by MTI on the spot, Hu Yiting and the three returned to the hotel, called Liu Renkuan, the legal director, and asked him to quickly check with the domestic Liu Shen Intellectual Property Law Firm, and after confirming that it was correct, he and Wang Lili were responsible for following up the follow-up signing work.

On the 17th, Hu Yiting left Wang Lili, Liu Renkuan, Ma Huateng and the staff of the American branch to be responsible for the finishing work of the exhibition, and took a large force of more than 70 people on the plane and flew straight to New York.

When Hu Yiting saw the world's first transistor, Hu Yiting couldn't help but feel the greatness of the information age, and the progress of human beings in microelectronics technology is really 100 times faster than the progress of the first industrial revolution in machinery.

At the same time, colleagues praised the excellent working environment of foreign research institutions, the picturesque scenery around the laboratory, the decoration of the laboratory is very humane, and the office of each engineer is spacious and magnificent.

In front of the statue of Shannon, the founder of information theory, everyone took a group photo, Cao Yunuan had to hook Hu Yiting's neck to take a group photo alone, so Hu Yiting took many photos of the two with many colleagues who made the same request.

Behind Shannon's statue, there is a sign that reads: "In 1947, it was here that Bell Labs, John Bardeen and Walter Brighton completed the greatest invention in history - the transistor."

Hu Yiting pointed to the statue and the sign and said: "In the future, Chongguang will also erect statues for those employees who have made great contributions, so that generations of employees can remember them." ”

Hu Yiting also promised everyone that Chongguang will provide you with a higher-level R&D environment in the future, as long as everyone gathers their hearts, Chongguang will create the best company in China.

After a day of sightseeing, we rested overnight in a motel that the embassy had helped to contact, and the next day, just after dawn, everyone packed their bags and rushed to visit IBM's headquarters in Armonk, New York.

In IBM's history gallery, you can see how the blue giant has evolved step by step from a commercial tabulator, a punching machine, an embossing machine, a ruler machine, a time attendance machine, a hand-cranked computer, a vacuum tube multiplication computer, and a military mainframe computer...... Step by step, each generation of vicissitudes of old machines in the museum is telling the history of scientific and technological progress.

When everyone saw Deep Blue, a giant computer under development, in IBM's computer room, they couldn't help but be shocked by its large size and power consumption. Although it can only be seen from a distance, the countless cables and flashing beacon lights and liquid cooling devices stuck behind the pitch-black giant fuselage are all reminders of what an IT giant's goal is.

After visiting IBM's headquarters, the army returned to New York, and Hu Yiting chartered a bus from a local travel agency to take everyone shopping and playing in New York for a whole day.

Hu Yiting didn't know what to buy, so he followed everyone to buy some chocolates, watches, women's cosmetics, high heels and other things, and prepared to go back to give them to his mother and Tong Mu.

Cao Yunuan knew who Hu Yiting was going to buy these women's supplies, and she was a little stunned for a while, and she was depressed.

Hu Yiting noticed Cao Yunuan's mood, accompanied her to try it for a long time, bought a pair of fiery new Nike sneakers, and looked down on New York with a telescope on the Empire State Building sightseeing platform, and took a group photo.
