Since its entry into service in 1970, the Boeing 747 has become the mainstay of major airlines.

Tang Huan has traveled back and forth between the West Coast of the United States and Asia many times, basically on this kind of plane.

However, he has never moved the idea of buying a Boeing 747 as a private jet, because he can't afford it for the time being, and he can't afford it, and it is estimated that most of the world's richest people are reluctant to lose so much, which shows how willful Christina is.

The U.S. President's plane, Air One, is now in service with two Boeing 707s, and it will not be upgraded to a modified Boeing 747 until 1990.

To some extent, Christina's toss is one step ahead of the world.

Thinking of this, Tang Huan couldn't help but yearn for it. After all, with a special plane, your own journey across the Pacific Ocean will be greatly facilitated.

But as the saying goes, eating people's mouths is short, and taking people's hands is short, Tang Huan doesn't like the feeling of inferiority.

After getting off the plane, Tang Huan finally formed a preliminary speculative idea in his mind about the cost of landing this plane.

This time, Tang Huan returned to the United States alone, and Hu Yinmeng was left in Xiangjiang to supervise the filming of "Shang_Beach".

Tang Huan's energy is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and he directly got into the business car sent by the company to greet him and rushed from the airport to Silicon Valley.

When he came to the company and entered the president's office, Tang Huan immediately picked up the phone and called Jobs, "I've come back and can visit PARC at any time." ”

"Then let's leave tomorrow." Jobs changed his words and asked shyly: "When did you get raised by that Greek female ship king, tsk, a Boeing 747, you are really loved." ”

"Look at what you said so sourly, envy, jealousy and hatred." Tang Huan sneered.

Seeing that Tang Huan's tone was calm and not stimulated, Jobs was a little stupid, "Yes, your life is so colorful, you have to aspire to it as a man." ”

"Then you can mentally balance, no one can afford to support me. See you tomorrow. Tang Huan finished speaking lightly and hung up the phone.

It seems that Christina's trick not only scratched her itch, but also catered to the taste of the media, and even Jobs was bombarded with it.

Just at this time, Chambers and Simeone walked in, and Tang Huan waved his hand to signal the two to sit down.

Because they can learn about the important operations here every day through transatlantic phone calls, they talk about some minor matters, and the main thing is that Simeone is reporting on the progress of technology research and development.

"Xiaobawang game consoles are so popular in the market, and there is an endless stream of people who come to negotiate business every day, and the excitement has affected the R&D department. I simply set up a separate space on the first floor and set up a dedicated office to handle affairs, so as not to think that we Zheru have transformed into a video game company. Chambers made a joke in the middle of the conversation.

Tang Huan nodded, "When I arrived at the company just now, I saw that signboard, and it was quite reasonable to distribute it like this." ”

Because of the company's development and growth, the entire office building is now rented by Zheru, and the first to adopt the model of Heung Kong Company, set up a product exhibition hall on the first floor.

"My idea was also sparked by several members of Apple's board of directors, who saw the potential of the Xiaobawang console, wanted to share the rights and interests, and even started to come up with plans for us to add an executive director position to them." Chambers explained in detail.

Tang Huan raised his eyebrows and said categorically: "The structure of the board of directors will not change for the time being, let them get out of here." As for the benefits of sharing the game console business, let alone think about it. Their piece of the pie is only in the software business, and it's already lucrative enough. ”

Twenty percent of the shares of the American Zheru Company belong to Apple, but 9 percent of them are evenly distributed among the heads of Jobs, Marcura, and Woz, and Apple accounts for the remaining 11 percent, and correspondingly, Tang Huan owns 7 percent of Apple's shares, becoming the fourth largest individual shareholder.

This deal, Tang Huan finally reached it with great effort, and he couldn't help but feel resentful, and asked himself Zheru's current performance to be worthy of Apple, and his waist was straight, so he naturally had the confidence to think that the interests of the two parties were limited to this.

What's more, Jobs, Marcura, and Wads didn't mention this matter to themselves, thinking that it was just some clowns in Apple's board of directors who were messing around.

After all, Apple's financing activities before going public have been in full swing, and it is inevitable to attract some mercenary businessmen who only care about staring at the dollar, and it is not clear what kind of significance Zheru has to Apple.

"By the way, who are making trouble with malicious intentions, you can help me write it down, it can be regarded as a blacklist." Tang Huan added.

Chambers nodded in agreement, the mall is a battlefield without gunsmoke, and he naturally knows that there may be a hidden crisis in it.

"The memory purchase contract with Intel has been put on hold for the time being because the new pricing has not been negotiated." Chambers shifted gears and talked about the not-so-smooth incident.

At present, Intel's main business is memory, including SRAM, DRAM, ROM, because of its strong technical strength, advanced manufacturing technology, product performance and quality, in the forefront of the industry.

This is important in stark contrast to the fact that the National Semiconductor Corporation has a reputation for deliberately selling defective products.

In the original time and space, the clock chip it produced made Apple's third-generation machine not light, and after a long period of use, the chip would suddenly fail, and finally Apple had to cancel this function.

Tang Huan did not remind Apple of the possible troubles, and the failure of Apple's third-generation machine is by no means just because of this.

For example, the design goal is to be compatible with Apple's second-generation phones, but the simulation function is deliberately limited to the use of advanced Apple II features, which brings great trouble to Zheru's software development.

It can be said that under the intimate surface of the cooperation between Zheru and Apple, there are also various contradictions, perhaps this is the normal state of the world.

It is precisely because of Intel's rigor that Tang Huan has always placed it at the forefront of the list of purchasing manufacturers, but the other party has always been strong in terms of price, even if the memory demand has surged, even because of the surge in memory demand brought about by the mass production of Xiaobawang game consoles and Fangyuan computers, the other party does not buy it.

"What's the reaction from Texas Instruments?" Tang Huan rubbed his eyebrows, for Intel, it can only be described as love and hate.

"These two leaders in the semiconductor industry seem to have a tacit understanding in their market strategies." Chambers spread his hands helplessly.

"Then let's continue with the original procurement method for the time being, and at the same time examine the product quality of companies like AMD, fortunately there is a second supplier mechanism, otherwise we will be more subject to others." Tang Huan groaned and made a decision.

In 1978, Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry shouted the slogan "information is the future" and began to vigorously develop robotics, computers, and communication technology, and established Silicon Valley in Tsukuba and Silicon Island in Kyushu.

Zheru's Asian factories have already contacted Japan's six major semiconductor companies, namely NEC, Hitachi, Toshiba, Fujitsu, Panasonic, and Mitsubishi, and have procured parts, and it seems that it should select some stable partners as soon as possible.

"I remember that Intel engineer George Perlegos has resigned, what has happened to him lately?" Tang Huan remembered the results of digging into the wall from Intel earlier.

"The Perlegos brothers have accepted our investment and are working with several other engineers to form SeeqTechnology in Silicon Valley, which should be ready for EEPROM production in the first quarter of next year." Chambers flipped through his notepad and replied.

Tang Huan nodded with satisfaction, "These people's movements are quite fast, if you wait until Intel pays attention to EEPROM, patents will be a trouble." ”

"As a fellow Hungarian, I once visited Andy, the president of Intel? Grove, although it did not help with the quotation of the purchase order, I stumbled upon a strange thing, several people from IBM met with him several times, and there was a heated argument over the confidentiality clause. Simeone said slowly, reminiscing.

"If there is such a thing, could it be that the chess project has begun?" Hearing the news, Tang Huanhuo stood up.

"What chess plan?" Simone asked, stunned.

"Let me sort out my thoughts first." Tang Huan paced with his hands behind his back.

Don't look at Intel is now in the top 500, but it is just an ordinary small factory in front of the blue giant.

IBM's computer kingdom has its own system, and there is almost nothing that it will not do, and the top day is to buy some relatively cheap storage from Intel, which should not involve any confidentiality clauses, and even quarrel over it.

In this way, it is very likely that it is the chess plan that has been going on for more than a year. At that time, IBM's personnel were going around negotiating with selected partners with confidentiality clauses, signing first, and then cooperating. Kildare also missed this opportunity to hug his thighs because of legal concerns, allowing Gates to take advantage of the loophole.

But after carefully calculating the time, it seems that the time when the chess project was launched was a little earlier than remembered, could it be because of his big moves in the field of personal computers that the blue giant made up his mind to participate?

Either way, you can't go wrong with planning early.

Thinking of this, Tang Huan sat down again, and said with a solemn face: "I guess that IBM should have secretly decided to enter the personal computer market, and their people may be looking for Intel to get a cheap microprocessor, such as Intel8086." But this kind of cooperation is not necessarily 100% reached, Intel has many competitors, Motorola put on the market this year, the MC68000 is better than Intel8086, so Intel is not willing to be shackled before the start of formal negotiations. ”
