The essence of the United States is the east and west sides of the country, the east along the Atlantic coast, here are the first thirteen states in North America, according to the Republic, belong to the category of "Longxing Land", before World War II, this is the core part of the United States.

The western Pacific coast rose rapidly with the outbreak of the Pacific War in World War II, and after World War II, it also flourished as a new growth point.

There was a joke in later generations that if the north-south Rocky Mountains in the middle of the United States were to be used as the dividing line, and the country could be divided into two, it would be completely possible to become two world-class powers, Atlantic and Pacific countries, respectively, and each with strong international competitiveness.

This time, Wang Zhengguo has no intention of inspecting the United States, nor does he have the ability to plan a major event, and he will not have the opportunity to make the United States evolve peacefully, and his purpose is very simple, that is, to inspect the world's microelectronics industry center: Silicon Valley.

Santa Clara Valley, California, is home to a famous university: Leland Stanford University Jr., which was an important driving force behind the Santa Clara Valley's gradual evolution into Silicon Valley.

Silicon Valley has grown because of a talented professor at Stanford University, F. F. Red, who chose a large vacant plot of land for real estate development and set up a program to encourage students to develop their "venture capital" in the area.

As the originator of the high-tech industrial park model, potential stocks such as Hewlett-Packard were quickly born here.

This was followed by the establishment of the more formal Stanford Research Park, the first high-tech industrial park near the university.

The enterprises in the park are using the latest technology from the university and at the same time lease the university's land, which in turn becomes the source of Stanford's economic resources and keeps the university thriving.

If Hewlett-Packard doesn't yet embody the immediate characteristics of Silicon Valley: silicon.

Then, when Dr. Shockley, the father of the transistor, came to the industrial park, and when Fairchild Semiconductor was established in 1957, the Santa Clara Valley was completely branded as "silicon".

Walking into this valley about 20 miles long, you finally feel the charm of a high-tech industrial park, with no towering chimneys, no mechanical processing that roars all day long, and even pedestrians in suits and leather shoes, and there seems to be no blue-collar workers in the traditional sense of the word.

The above passage was written by Yang Yong when he later returned to China to sort out the harvest of his trip to the United States, and although there are some places that are a little exaggerated, most of them are absolutely true.

.....

It was also after a long journey that Wang Zhengguo finally arrived at the DC company, the destination of his trip.

People who are familiar with the microelectronics industry, as long as they see these three English abbreviations, will naturally react immediately: Western Digital.

Indeed, DC usually represents this meaning, which means that the world's well-known mechanical hard disk manufacturer, founded in Silicon Valley, California in 1970, and later grew into one of the world's data hard disk drive hegemons, and Seagate jointly carved up more than 90% of the entire mechanical hard disk disk market.

If Wang Zhengguo plans to do data storage equipment business, then he should indeed go to Western Digital Company to see, but unfortunately, someone at this time does not plan to invest in the mechanical hard disk market that has been basically finalized, even if it really wants to do data storage, it should have a better entry point.

The topic is DC, but the full name of this company is not estern Digital Corp (Western Digital Corporation), at the door, it is still clearly written: estern Design Center, also abbreviated DC, but this company is translated into Chinese called: Western Design Center.

That's right, this is the one to be found this time, another company founded by the "traitor" of MOS Technologies!

The standard 6502 processor was developed by Motorola engineer Chuck Peddle (Chuck Peddle) and his small team to defect to MOS Technology, but the mainstream 65C02 processor in the 80s was not produced by MOS Technology.

In 1974, Chuck Peder brought out six engineers from Motorola, including a very thoughtful guy named Bill Mensch, who quickly saw the opportunity to step out of MOS technology after completing the development of the 6502 processor, that is, the western design center.

Finally, in 1978, Bill successfully developed the 65C02 processor based on the CMOS process, successfully realizing the cross-generation upgrade of the 6502 processor.

Now, five years have passed since 1984, and the 8-bit 65C02 processor, which was still very competitive at that time, has long been overwhelmed in the face of the 16-bit processors of Intel and Motorola at the same time, in fact, 65C02 is more like a product that is backward from birth.

......

Chuck was a brilliant engineer, but he was also the CEO of the Western Design Center, and his first encounter with a guest from the Republic was, like most Americans at this time, a little surprised.

It's not that I haven't seen Chinese people come to talk about cooperation before, including Xiangjiang and Duwan, and even he has received Japanese people who are also East Asians, but these are far less influential than the two people from the Red Republic in front of him.

"Are you going to introduce the production technology of the 65C02 processor? This is not a joke, do you really have a PC market there?"

It is still the same tone, and it seems that all Americans do not realize how developed the society of the backward Red Republic is, just as the world will look at Cao County thirty years later, there is no difference.

Even if you have nuclear weapons, long-range ballistic missiles, and even the production of all kinds of defense weapons, people still don't think that this is a sign of scientific and technological development, and everyone thinks that the Red Republic in the eighties is synonymous with backwardness.

From the bottom of his heart, Wang Zhengguo is actually able to admit some problems and the current situation: Regarding the personal computers of the Republic, there is really not much market. But the actual situation cannot be shown, otherwise what reason did he use to introduce 65C02?

It took at least half an hour to introduce the situation of the Republic, pointing out that the Republic at this time had realized the importance of personal computers, and even brought out the speech in the Demon Capital before 286, so as to prove that it was true.

"According to this situation, in fact, your country has not yet begun to popularize personal computers, just because of the preferences of the leaders, so you came to introduce 65C02 processor technology, right?"

The prejudice of the Americans is obviously deep-rooted, and this is the result of a fixed mode of thinking that has been formed in the minds of a generation, and what does it mean to spend money on the introduction of technology because of the preferences of the leaders, which clearly means that Wang Zhengguo came to welcome the leaders this time.

Of course, Yang Yong also heard the irony in his words, but Wang Zhengguo felt that there was no need to explain it clearly at this time, if he could really make the other party think that he was doing a sycophant project to welcome the leader.

Well, let's just carry this pot and show the enemy weakness, which is a valuable experience handed down by countless ancestors.

A flattering, inflammatory, and inflamed image is more likely to be let down than an ambitious, enterprising potential threat, and the likelihood of success is much greater when technology is introduced.
