There is only less than half a year left before the return of Xiangjiang, but Chief Deng can't see it with his own eyes. I have to say, this is a great pity!

Tang Huan sighed, and then pointed: "Since the news has been confirmed, of course, we must pay attention to the timeliness of the news - you know, this is an opportunity for Phoenix Media to show its ability." ”

"I see." Weng Jingjing turned to ask, "Then are you coming to Yanjing?" ”

"Of course." Tang Huan looked at the time, "I'll leave as soon as possible and fly directly from Moscow to Yanjing." ”

……

At 23:58 on February 19, the Phoenix Media satellite television network urgently broadcast a news report on the death of a great man, becoming the first international media in the world to disclose the news.

At 0:02 on February 20, CNN quoted a report from Phoenix Media.

At 2:42 on February 20, Reuters broadcast the news of the death of Chief Deng.

Two minutes later, the China News Agency officially announced the news of Chief Deng's death.

At the same time, CCTV broadcast "important news," and announcer Luo Jing broadcast a "Letter to the Whole Party, the Whole Army, and the People of All Ethnic Groups in the Country."

In this regard, the global media began to widely report the news of the death of a great generation of Chinese people.

……

On the morning of February 20, the flag-raising ceremony in Antianmen Square lowered the flag at half-mast to mourn.

On that day, the flag was lowered at half-mast at the United Nations headquarters in New York; Silence was observed at the United Nations General Assembly.

At 9:34 a.m. on February 24, Chief Deng's body was sent to the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery for cremation - from the PLA General Hospital to the Fuxing Road to Shijingshan Road in Babaoshan, where millions of people gathered to mourn.

On the morning of February 25, the memorial meeting was held in the auditorium of the Great Hall of the People; At about 10 o'clock, the train on the Kowloon-Canton Railway in and out of Hung Hom Station in Xiangjiang sounded its horn for 3 minutes to show condolences.

……

Tang Huan attended a series of related mourning activities in Yanjing, and for him, who personally experienced the death of two generations of great people, the biggest feeling is that compared with more than 20 years ago, the current 1.2 billion Chinese are no longer confused - the road ahead is clear!

One of the great things about great men is that even after their deaths, their influence remains.

……

It is normal for people to look at his grandparents with great concern in the past few days, but as a result, the old man was impatient, and waved his hand to rush away: "Go and go, you can be busy with whatever you want." ”

Brother-in-law Meng Qingguan patted Tang Huan on the shoulder and teased: "Boy, filial piety must pay attention to the long stream." ”

Tang Huan put his hand on his forehead and said, "Come on, I still listen to my grandfather's words - I'm going to get busy." ”

"Wait." Meng Qingguan grabbed Tang Huan's arm and asked, "What kind of work did you arrange for my girl?" It's hard to see people on the side of Xiangjiang, so I don't have a chance to let her go on a blind date. ”

"You don't understand." Tang Huan broke away and slipped away. Before going out, he dropped another sentence, "After next year, Xiaojing will definitely be able to be idle." ”

"It's next year again!" Meng Qingguan said angrily: "You are really not kind to be a brother, and you don't feel bad about treating people as coolies like this?" Next year, she will be over 30 years old! ”

……

Tang Huan did not stay long in China, and returned to San Francisco in the United States non-stop, where Guy had an urgent and important meeting waiting for him to attend.

The anti-monopoly investigation faced by Zheru Software Company is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and it is by no means a joke! It must be tackled in all directions.

For example, after Senate hearings late last year, Zheru Software further expanded its legal capabilities — legal fees alone were in the hundreds of millions of dollars, according to media speculation.

Obviously, this is a game that only the strong can afford; Others want to play, but they don't have that ability!

The meeting that Tang Huan had to attend was a milestone work report for the legal team.

The richest man sat in the center of the conference room and looked at the 20 of the most famous lawyers in the United States who sat along the long table.

When his eyes turned to George Conway, a lawyer from New York, especially his female assistant, Tang Huan paused slightly and casually flipped through the information in front of him.

George Conway, a graduate of Yale Law School, specializes in litigation involving securities, mergers and acquisitions, contracts, antitrust, etc., and has a good reputation in the industry.

The female assistant next to George Conway is called Kellyanne Conway, who is not famous now, but Tang Huan has already been named - this should be the campaign manager when Trump ran for president of the United States twenty years later, that is, the first woman in American history to manage the presidential election and win, and was finally rewarded as an adviser to the president of the United States.

The richest man made a gesture of please, "Everyone, who will talk first." ”

The people who can sit at the table are the elite of the elite who don't have sand in their eyes, and they all immediately look at George Conway, who has been paid special attention to by the super big financiers.

"Then I'll report on the results of my work so far." George Conway nodded slightly, and said unyieldingly: "First of all, the biggest disadvantage of Zheru Software Company is that its market monopoly status quo is widely recognized, even if it is different from the traditional monopoly in the past, it is naturally monopolized due to the early establishment of advanced industry standards - while public opinion is so discussed, they are speculating whether Netscape can survive this year, and the sympathy for the weak can be said to be overflowing." ”

"The advantage of Zheru Software is that the company's top management has a correct understanding of monopoly - for example, there is clear evidence such as videos of relevant laws for training employees, minutes of market management strategy formulation meetings, etc.; At the same time, many authoritative figures in the economics field believe that the current anti-monopoly investigation against Zheru Software Company is the destruction of market freedom~. ”

"We are very confident that we will win this round of litigation initiated by Netscape in the first half of the year. However, it is better for Zheru Software to cooperate and make some compromises, especially in the way that the operating system integrates browsers, media players, office software components, file compression and decompression tools, and multi-protocol download tools, which rely on the advantages of the platform to sell in a package. ”

……

Realistically speaking, such meetings are not only boring and boring, but also easy to stir up a nameless fire.

With amazing patience, Mr. The richest man attended the whole process to the end, and asked: "For anti-monopoly, Zheru Software Company adheres to a modest attitude, but I hope that this winning judicial process cannot be exchanged for sacrificing the success of Zheru Software Company, otherwise, there will be no clear decision, and there will be entanglement." ”

"Take the example of product packaging, which has been opposed by competitors, Zheru Software has clearly reduced the cost of ownership for users - is there anything wrong with that?"

……

Listening to Tang Huan's opinions, the lawyers exchanged glances from time to time, and then thought in unison - this super client is really not easy to serve.

Come to think of it, the richest man is generous, but the money is not blown by the wind, and of course these legal elites have to use all their skills to make money.

The central idea of Mr. the richest man's words can be summed up simply, that is, no matter how you play this valuable legal game, it must not affect the money-making plan of Zheru Software Company.

In fact, the anti-monopoly countercurrent set off by Netscape has not had a negative impact on the performance of Zheru Software, which is competing with General Electric for the first place in market capitalization.

Since the beginning of the Internet boom, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has reached 5,000 points in 1995; Then it took about a year to reach above 6,000 points; And on February 13 this year, the Dow Jones Industrial Average broke through the 7,000-point mark in less than half a year.

At this stage, if the market capitalization does not reach $100 billion, don't worry about the ranking - the top ten heavyweights of the US stock market are the 100 billion dollar club; And Zheru Software and General Electric, the only two companies with a market value of more than $200 billion, are chasing me for the top spot.

Correspondingly, according to the latest edition of the Forbes Global Rich List, Tang Huan, the leader of Silicon Valley, the symbol of IT, has a net worth of more than 100 billion US dollars - I don't know how many countries' GDP has been crushed!

Of course, none of this happened in a vacuum.

In particular, the recent new version of EBase, an enterprise-level relational database, has implemented new features such as data warehousing for the Internet, resulting in a large increase in orders, forcing one of its competitors, Oracle, to mess itself up - there is a bug in the product, and the level of trouble has made its CEO Larry Ellison unable to care about the NC and NOISE alliances. It is very likely that he will be slapped to death on the beach by the tide of the Internet.

The most important task of Zheru Software Company at present is to launch a matching platform with the next generation of Fangyuan personal computers.

Intel CEO Andy Grove also reported to Tang Huan on his new generation of CPU, Pentium 2.

This time, Intel has finally achieved a satisfying combination of product features, that is, the two microprocessor branches of Pentium and Pentium_ Pro have been merged into one into Pentium-II.

Previously, the P6 architecture of the Pentium_ Pro, although better than the P5 architecture of the Pentium with the MMX instruction set, was lacking in the MMX instruction set, resulting in unsatisfactory multimedia performance, and poor performance when running 16-bit programs, which can be called a design flaw.

Now, based on the Pentium_Pro P6 architecture, Pentium-II adds support for the MMX instruction set, dramatically improving multimedia performance while eliminating the problem of poor performance Pentium_Pro running 16-bit programs.

In this case, Pentium-II has become the perfect desktop computer CPU with almost all the technical advantages of Intel, so much so that Intel relies on Pentium-II to plan a more powerful Pentium-II-Xeon - Pentium 2 Xeon CPU product line for high-end markets such as servers and workstations.

Obviously, Xeon CPU is a killer feature carefully crafted by Intel, which has long hoped to enter the high-end market, and may make the x86 family microprocessors of the CISC faction begin to really threaten the microprocessors of the RISC faction like Zheru Holder.

Of course, the perfection of the Pentium-II is also relative. One of the current flaws is that it has 7.5 million transistors, which is 2 million more than the previous generation of Pentium_Pro, which makes CPU products produced using a 0.35-micron process generate a lot of heat, which also makes it more difficult to integrate into the L2 cache to further improve performance, and affects the yield rate.

On the other hand, Intel cleverly used this as an excuse to introduce a new interface called "Slot-1" to mount the CPU to the motherboard with the Pentium 2.

This move exposes Intel's ambition to control the socket standard for desktop-class CPUs in addition to coveting high-end markets such as servers and workstations.

You know, the current x86 family CPU socket of desktop computers is a Socket-7 socket with 321 pins, simply put, the microprocessor is "flat" on the motherboard - including Intel's Pentium, AMD's K5 and many models of CPUs use Socket-7 sockets, which is widely known as an industry standard.

The "Slot-1" designed by Intel for the Pentium 2 is like a graphics card, sound card, network card and other components inserted into the motherboard slot, the CPU is placed on the motherboard "vertically" through a board, and the L2 cache chip added to improve performance is placed on that board.

Andy Grove and Intel may fool others to get by, but here in Tang IT, it is directly revealed, because he knows too well that the semiconductor factory will soon be able to solve the need for a large number of integrated L2 cache chips like the Pentium 2.

Intel's "Slot-1" is really aimed at replacing the "Socket-7" that everyone can use through its own patents, so as to further crack down on x86-compatible CPU competitors such as AMD.

As the mix became more and more miserable, DEC, which was once infinitely beautiful, began to become a fertilizer for peers to absorb nutrients, and a large number of technical elites left, such as Microsoft's Windows_NT team.

AMD's CPU R&D team has also received such assistance, and its K6 microprocessor is very attractive in terms of cost performance, and this series of CPUs uses a "Socket-7" socket.

Tang Huan nodded to Andy Grove with some impatience, "This 'Slot-1' is useless except for causing trouble, and you can't help but give up your roots." ”
