Silicon Valley as the world's most intensive electronic technology industry, in Xu Hongwen's view in this period of Silicon Valley is the most tempting, you must know that in later generations many of the world's large network companies were born in the nineties, although these network companies are money-burning gold-swallowing monsters, but these companies to the end of the success are all created a miracle of investment and rate of return!

Xu Hongwen took Yang Qin like a tourist, driving all the way from Los Angeles to Santa Clara Valley in California, and it took more than two days to reach Silicon Valley after more than 500 kilometers of roadside play!

In this era, Silicon Valley did not have the kind of prosperity that later generations had, and now high-tech companies such as International Business Machines Qì, Apple and Google have not yet settled here, and Silicon Valley is still only a base for chip design and manufacturing, which is indeed too much contrast compared with later generations!

However, it is full of opportunities here, and what makes Xu Hongwen covet the most is not those network companies that have not yet emerged, but the Fairchild Semiconductor, which is known as the 'West Diǎn Military Academy' in the American semiconductor industry, which invented integrated circuits since its establishment in 1957, which can put multiple transistors on a single crystal silicon, which surpassed all electronic technologies at that time, and made the Fairchild company at the beginning of its establishment develop rapidly!

However, Fairchild's good times did not last long, because of the dissatisfaction of its engineers with investors, many excellent engineers of Fairchild left in the 60s, and these engineers successively founded Naonasonor, Supermicro Technology (A), Intel and other semiconductor companies!

If there were two hundred people attending a high-tech forum in Silicon Valley, there would be no less than forty or fifty people here who would have worked for Fairchild Semiconductor. Although the loss of a large number of engineers caused Fairchild to quickly slide off the altar. But emaciated camels are also bigger than horses. Fairchild still holds a large number of electronic technology patents, and in fact, the theft of other patents in the industry happens from time to time, but the industry generally uses cross-licensing to avoid disputes!

As an ambitious person, Xu Hongwen does not have many patented technologies in his hands, and in terms of electronic technology, there are actually many patent barriers, as if the research and development of integrated circuits is impossible to completely avoid the patent barriers of others, Xu Hongwen has the plan to fight the idea of fairchild semiconductors!

However, Xu Hongwen also knows very well that as a Chinese, it may be more difficult for him to acquire such a high-tech company in the United States than to ascend to the sky. Even though this is a high-tech company that has been declining, Xu Hongwen did not think that he could do this in a short period of time!

This time I came to Silicon Valley to take Yang Qin to see the world, and secondly, I wanted to acquire an integrated circuit design company, Xu Hongwen had already made a good company, and before Xu Hongwen arrived in Silicon Valley, his subordinates had already gone to Silicon Valley to contact the personnel of that company!

This time, the integrated circuit design company that was colored by Xu Hong's cultural relics is engaged in the development of communication chips, but this company has been established for more than two years and has not begun to make a profit, and investors can not see any hope in this company and give up reinvestment.

In his previous life, Xu Hongwen didn't know that there was such a company, maybe this company finally disappeared in the entrepreneurial army because of financial problems or some reason. However, the founder of this company, Frank, is a well-known person, and in the memory of Xu Hongwen's later generations, Frank has served as a technical director at Qualcomm for a long time. This is enough to show that this person is enough to find a banner in terms of technology!

After an afternoon of rest in the hotel, in the evening, Xu Hongwen made an appointment with Frank as a pitcher, and Diǎn was in a simple theme bar in Silicon Valley, decorated with a dark feeling of Diǎn, very civilian, and most of the people who entertained here were technicians from nearby companies, and this bar was close to Frank's company!

There are very few people in this diǎn bar, the two people who haven't eaten dinner in the bar diǎn two steaks and some beers, listening to soothing music and chatting while drinking, Frank talks extraordinary, and he also sees the direction of electronic technology very clearly, and now the desktop computer has just developed, and he dares to say that the desktop computer may decline in more than ten years!

Xu Hongwen is not surprised by these views of diǎn a diǎn, because Xu Hongwen, who came from later generations, has clearly felt that desktop computers have become weak in that era, this is because of the development of technology, the technology of handheld terminals has not lost the results of desktop computers, and it is also the direction of electronic miniaturization, but Frank in this era can see the future development, if this person is not crossed, then Frank's vision is not ordinary!

After taking a sip of beer, Xu Hongwen pretended not to understand and asked: "Frank, now that the computer industry has just developed, you say that computers will be replaced by mobile phones, which is probably difficult to achieve in technology!" ”

Frank seemed to be very willing to think about his thoughts, and hearing Xu Hongwen's questioning made him even more excited, and after wiping a handful of wine stains on his mouth, he said: "Mr. Xu, do you know 'Moore's Law', Moore summed up in 1965 that the number of transistors on integrated circuits can double every 18 months, and the development of integrated circuits has fully proved the correctness of this law, and I have reason to believe that ten years later, with the miniaturization of electronic devices, even if a computer is the size of a mobile phone, it is not a difficult task!" ”

Xu Hongwen, who heard this, had to admire this bull, and this Moore's law was indeed valid until the early years of the 21st century, but as the magnitude of miniaturization of integrated circuits was about to reach its limit, this Moore's law was broken!

The other party's words Xu Hongwen had been confirmed as early as in his previous life, and he felt that Frank could have such a sober mind, and at the same time, Xu Hongwen thought that he had to grasp such a talent with advanced vision in technology!

Xu Hongwen said: "Frank, you have a point, but it is difficult to realize this idea!" ”

Frank said: "R&D technology is like climbing a mountain, climbing this mountain and higher mountains, so those of us who do technology can never stop exploring, or we will be left behind!" ”

is really an ambitious person, Xu Hongwen has to sigh at the other party's will to continue to explore technology, maybe the development of technology in China is the lack of this kind of continuous exploration of people, maybe there is, but it has been overwhelmed by the system!

Xu Hongwen agreed with Frank's words very much, and after picking up the beer bottle, he said: "I very much agree with the statement of mountain climbing, I am really happy to meet a great engineer like you, we did it!" ”

After touching the bottle lightly, Xu Hongwen drank the remaining half of the beer in one go, and the two put down the bottle almost at the same time, Xu Hongwen glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Frank, to be honest, I am very optimistic about you, in fact, I am also full of confidence in the future communication technology, maybe in a few years, mobile phones will become an indispensable way for people to communicate!" ”
