Chapter 101 Son Zhengyi who was purified out of the house
Li Yixuan still named the two processors according to history. For personal computers, it is named Core, the Chinese name Core; the other is of course Xeon, Xeon E3.
He still followed the trajectory of history and did not come up with another name.
After the CPU is finalized, the chipset and graphics processor, including the motherboard, officially enter the development stage.
Since there are two kinds of CPUs, the corresponding GPUs and chipsets should also be corresponding.
The chipset is the fastest to develop, after all, it is not a high-tech, with the underlying data support of the CPU, it was designed within a few days. After three streams, the design requirements were finally met.
GPU design is much more troublesome, according to the different market targets of the two CPUs, Li Yixuan set the CPU to professional and personal computer level and entry-level.
Personal-grade GPUs are also aimed at both high and medium graphics cards. The entry-level targets are low-end discrete graphics and integrated graphics.
Just as the development of the Oranges II computer was moving forward at a rapid pace, Billy returned with bad news that Son had been swept away.
"Where's the person?"
"He went back to Hong Kong with me, and he was in the reception room, and he was very decadent. Billy replied, "Because of our influence, he didn't put all his eggs in one basket as history does, and he still has the opportunity to turn it over, which is a great blessing in misfortune." ”
Standing at the door of the reception room, looking at the decadent Sun Zhengyi, Li Yixuan shouted in his heart, black, really/black, what is a person eating a man, this is.
Knocking on the door, Sun Zhengyi raised his head and looked at Li Yixuan at the door.
"My old friend, you shouldn't be so decadent, at least you haven't completely lost. RB DreamWorks still has half of your shares, and SoftBank Group is completely yours, and you still have a chance to get back at least some of the retail stores you lost. Seeing that the tea in front of him was cold, Li Yixuan personally brewed him another cup.
Li Yixuan's words seemed to make him feel a little more comfortable, took Li Yixuan's tea, and said: "In two years, more than 270 stores, I have paid a lot of effort, but they treat me like this. Leave the house, hehehe......"
Li Yixuan poured himself a cup, took a sip, and said, "Know what your problem is? You rushed too fast, 276 stores, taking up too much of their funds." First, they were worried that they would not be able to get it back, and second, there were so many stores that RB's game industry was developing so prosperously, which made them greedy. If I were you, I'd be more relaxed. You can have some cards in your hand. Even if you are kicked out, you will not be forced out of the house. ”
Masayoshi Son has done much better than the previous time, because he started earlier, the land price is lower, and there are more stores for decades.
"What's next for you?"
Son Masayoshi sighed and said: "I'm still doing my old job, game software, but this time it's not in RB, I plan to open a store in the United States." ”
This was expected by Li Yixuan, after Son was kicked out, he established a new SoftBank in the United States, obtained the overseas agency rights of several RB game companies, and bought RB games in the United States, laying a solid foundation for RB's video game software to go abroad.
"You're here to get DreamWorks' North American game distribution from me?"
Son shook his head, "You have your own marketing channel in the United States, and I don't want your agency." I'm here to get distribution rights for computer games other than arcade games, and I want the whole of North America. ”
"I might be going to disappoint you, I gave EA the distribution rights for the computer game. ”
"EA!" Son was puzzled.
"A game company that was just established this year, and the owner is Tripp Hawkins, a young man who has just graduated from college, not as big as you, a little smaller than you. He's doing well right now and I have no reason to cancel his distribution rights. ”
"Then I'm sorry, farewell. Son stood up.
"Wait. Li Yixuan stopped him and said, "Do you want to develop the European market?"
"I'm not familiar with Europe. Son replied.
"I'm not very familiar with Europe, but I've already opened five directly managed stores there, and it's working well. Li Yixuan pulled him back to the sofa, "Listen, I know that you have a partner in the United States, and SoftBank is running very well, you don't need to grab his position, hand over the RB games you represent to him, and you go to explore the European market." Video games are a complete void in Europe at the moment, and the demand for video games in Europe is even greater than in North America, so this is a great place for you to make a difference. ”
Li Yixuan knew that after Son Masayoshi went to the United States, he relied on acting as an agent for RB game software to get back on his feet, but he had a very unpleasant quarrel with his original partner.
After all, he ran it well, but as soon as Son Zhengyi came to snatch his rights, he was psychologically uncomfortable.
Best of all, his partner left SoftBank in 1885 and came to France. Finding that video games were still in the void, he gathered a few friends he had made in France, and together they funded the Guillemot brothers software, which he renamed Ubisoft a year later.
Like Electronic Arts, Ubisoft also started by representing game software, but they mainly represented RB's game software, and it was not until the 90s that they began to make their own games.
This is also the reason why Ubisoft's video game games are somewhat similar to RB games, because they started by representing RB games in the early days.
Years later, a game engineer left Ubisoft to found Gameloft in France, and a few years later released the famous Modern Warfare.
Li Yixuan no longer has the spare energy to open up the European market, and he hopes that Son will provoke this pillar.
As for Son Zhengyi's statement that he is not familiar with Europe, Li Yixuan sneered at it. His partner is also not familiar with Europe, and it is not the same as doing well in Europe.
In Li Yixuan's view, it doesn't matter whether you are familiar with Europe or not, the important thing is to have a pioneering mind. Because at this time, video games in Europe were basically still barren, as long as you dare to think and dare to do, you are not afraid of not being able to fight your own territory.
After the briefing on Europe, Son had some feelings, but some concerns.
Li Yixuan knew that it was enough, stood up and said, "Go back and think about it." "Historically, Masayoshi Son only went to explore the European market after 90 years, and now it is not bad to enter.
As he left, Son asked again, "Don't you have any other games for me to distribute for you?"
Li Yixuan smiled, "That's it, Electronic Arts Company is in the eastern part of the United States, and he can't take care of the western part of the country at present, how about I give you a part of the western distribution rights? In addition, we will give you the distribution rights in Canada, and we have not found a suitable agent in Canada at present." ”
Son agreed.
The next day, Li Yixuan sent him to the airport and said: "Yesterday I told you that you should think about it and discuss it with your partner how SoftBank will go next." Promise me not to quarrel, okay?"
Li Yixuan knew that after the failure of RB's investment, his partner must have been resentful of him.
MD, it's too embarrassing to be cleaned out of the house. Now that he is back in his position, it is completely predictable how unhappy he will be with Son Masayoshi in his heart.
That's why Li Yixuan gave him a vaccination in advance.
