Chapter 357
"The Gallics, O people, go to work in the spring, go on vacation in the summer, strike in the fall, and celebrate Christmas in the winter. Strikes are an annual repertoire, and there are so many holidays in Gaul that a 140-hour work in a month is not bad. ”
Zhang Zhonghua shrugged helplessly, and at the same time regretted his previous strategy of expanding into Gaul.
If you want to talk about chaos, the ugly country is the most chaotic in the modern country, but when it comes to strikes, no one dares to recognize the second in Gaul, and people have traditions.
In the future, you can get 5 weeks of paid vacation after working in Gaul for a year, and the children are on summer vacation in the summer, which is most suitable for family travel, most people will choose to use annual leave in the summer vacation, and summer vacations have become a tradition, and some cities will have empty cities in July and August.
This can also explain from the other side, why the Gauls love to strike in the autumn, after all, the vacation is over, and the annual leave is also used up, but the heart has not yet flown back during the holiday, and they have to face the huge work that has been accumulated for a month, and they naturally want to strike when they are in a bad mood, which can not only rest justifiably, but also go to the streets to vent their emotions.
However, counting the annual leave, Gaul also has 11 statutory holidays and fixed weekends. With 150 days of vacation and 114 strikes per year, Gaul is the world's seventh-largest economy.
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, and what they said was so reasonable, the people of Gaul were the happiest in the world.
CFC catering companies have not stopped expanding because of the chaotic situation in Gaul and the ugly country, after all, CFC has not yet entered the ugly country, and Zhang Zhonghua has decided to give up the Gallic market for the time being.
CFC's marketing department buys stores in various cities, and the group's renovation team has also accelerated the renovation process with the marketing department's expansion into various countries.
You can open a store at any time, and you should decorate it as soon as possible, anyway, there is not much loss when the store is hoarded, but the price is rising every day.
The world is disturbed, and Zhang Zhonghua is blowing the sea breeze in the Pacific Ocean, he still has a yacht convenient, and he can go to sea at any time, so he bought a yacht in San Francisco and usually handed it over to the yacht company for maintenance.
"It's still comfortable here in San Francisco, and the climate on the entire West Coast is much better than in the UK."
Zhang Zhonghua soaked in the sea water in a swimsuit and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's still good in the west, it's so comfortable to bask in the sun on the yacht, ugly people really know how to play, why haven't I found it like this before."
Lou Xiao'e said while lying on a beach chair basking in the sun.
Zhang Zhonghua was very satisfied with the fish and shrimp caught in the bucket, and he was absolutely very comfortable cooking on the yacht at noon, basking in the sun and drinking beer in the sea breeze.
We sat and drank beer, the sun was shining on our shoulders and we felt like free people. ’
Zhang Zhonghua remembered the plot in "The Shawshank Redemption", where Andy and Red sat on the rooftop terrace drinking cold beer, and Andy finally successfully escaped from prison and then lived a chic life in the Pacific Ocean.
"It's beautiful to be free!"
Zhang Zhonghua said with emotion.
"Of course freedom is beautiful, we used to be like birds trapped in a cage."
"Zhang Long, they swim so well, it's like the white stripes in the waves in the Water Margin."
Lou Xiao'e looked at several security guards who appeared and disappeared in the sea, and couldn't help but admire.
Zhang Zhonghua glanced at Lou Xiao'e and thought to himself, aren't you talking nonsense?
Except for Zhang Long, who else did not swim here from the mainland, and they had to be careful everywhere, which is really not something that ordinary people can do.
Although there is only a river apart, I don't know how many bones are buried in that river, if you arrange someone to salvage, you should be able to salvage a lot of things, which one can swim over with your family is not water-based.
"If you want me to say, Robinson is even more powerful, once on the way to Africa, he encountered a storm, drifted alone on a desert island, and began a life of isolation. With his tenacity and unremitting efforts, he survived tenaciously on the desert island, and after living on the island for 28 years, 2 months and 19 days, he was finally able to return to his hometown. ”
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile and diverted the topic.
Speaking of Robinson Crusoe, Zhang Zhonghua suddenly remembered another series of movies he watched in his previous life, that is, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" pirate series.
Not to mention that reborn people can't starve to death no matter what, as long as you seriously study screenwriting, you can write a movie you watched in your previous life.
After all, in the previous life, the information was developed, and who has not seen dozens of blockbusters at the Oscars, the box office is a terrible mess.
The rebirth of Xiangjiang in the previous life has also formed a law, the beginning must copy Qin Ji, after the development must marry He Chaoqiong, and the car company must buy Bentley, which is really inferior.
"If it were true, then extinguishing Robinson is really amazing, he can live alone on a small island for 28 years, if I did, I would probably not be able to stand jumping into the sea. Ah Hua, a fish has been hooked. ”
Lou Xiao'e pointed to the fishing rod and said.
Hearing Lou Xiao'e's words, Zhang Zhonghua quickly lifted the rod and reeled the line, and a big lobster was directly lifted to the surface, and today's lunch at noon was a little more abundant.
"Uncle Ahua, I want to eat lobster."
When Xiaobao saw the lobster, his eyes immediately lit up with excitement, and he ran to Zhang Zhonghua and directly mentioned the big lobster, which was not afraid of getting it in his hand, and it was a proper snack.
"Ah Hua, is the lobster grilled delicious?"
Lou Xiao'e suddenly remembered something, and then asked Zhang Zhonghua.
"This thing can also be old, but there are no conditions, and it doesn't taste good, so let's eat it steamed."
Hearing Lou Xiao'e's suggestion, Zhang Zhonghua scratched his head and decided to eat it steamed.
"You say, how delicious this roast lamb and roast chicken wings are, why don't these ghosts like it? These foreigners are really trouble-free and how to come to eat, and none of them in the family can cook. ”
Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but complain.
"This is also on the sea, I don't dare to grill lobsters on the shore, and the ugly country has very strict management in this regard."
Zhang Zhonghua said helplessly.
"Ah Hua, when will the CAD software developed by your software company end?"
Lou Xiao'e was also learning about computers during this time, and she found that computers were really interesting and very convenient.
"What about software? I estimate that it will take at least half a year to develop, CAD is widely used in civil engineering, decoration, urban planning, garden design, electronic circuits, mechanical design, clothing, shoes and hats, aerospace, light industry and chemical industry and many other fields, how can it be so easy. ”
Now that the UNIX system has been handed over, CFC Restaurant, Jade Emperor Electric, and Jade Emperor Bank are all on the right track, and someone is responsible for Hong Kong Island's affairs, he always has to find something to do, and the future market prospect of this software is not small.
"It's not going to be infringing again, is it?"
Lou Xiao'e asked, she also understood after studying, there are few computer software that are not infringing.
"CAD software has been around for 16 years, and the relevant licenses have been obtained, but now it is mainly used in the fields of electronics and electrical, mechanical design and aerospace."
……
……
Zhang Zhonghua took Lou Xiao'e and a few people to play in San Francisco for a few days, and then sent them away. After Lou Xiao'e and the others returned to New York, Zhang Zhonghua once again devoted himself to intense work.
During this period, he also went to Santa Clara, watching the progress of the construction of his own company building, Zhang Zhonghua was also completely desperate for the construction speed of the ugly country, and he really didn't know how the more than 100-story buildings in the ugly country were built in the future.
Leaving the construction site of his company, Zhang Zhonghua came to Intel, which is also located in Santa Clara, and was very excited to see the three gods of Intel immediately.
Robert Noyins, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove are all elites in the chip field, and Gordon Moore is the god who proposed 'Moore's Law'.
Intel Corporation is led by Robert Noyins as Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Gordon Moore as Chief Operating Officer (COO), and Andy Grove subsequently joined;
In 1969, the first product, the 3010 bipolar random access memory (RAM), was born;
In 1971, Intel launched the first general-purpose chip in human history, 4004, which brought about a computing revolution that changed the world.
From 1972 to 1978, Intel successively launched the 8008 and 8080 processors, and the 8088 microprocessors became the brains of IBM PCs......
Although Zhang Zhonghua has no research on chips and computer hardware, he still knows some about the history of Intel, and the purpose of his visit to Intel this time is to function calculators.
The earliest function calculator has a deep relationship with Dongying's BUSI calculator company, which designed a set of 12 integrated circuits and wanted Intel to produce it.
Intel engineer Ted Hoff, who took over the business, designed a straw eucalyptus that concentrates all computing units on a single chip, which significantly reduces the cost.
Based on Hoff's design of the eucalyptus, engineers from the two companies collaborated on the project.
The final design consists of four chips, 4001 for read-only memory, 4002 for random memory, 4003 for shift poster, and 4004 for the central processing unit.
Originally, the chipset was specially customized by Busi, and it is said that at this point, Dongying people should check out and take the product and leave, and the story ends.
But what I never expected was that there was a problem with the BUSI funds and I couldn't afford to pay the remaining fees.
In the end, Intel had to agree to busi forgive some of the debt by relinquishing the exclusive rights to the chip.
At the same time, in order to make up for the loss, Intel naturally had to sell chips to regain blood, and Intel 4004 became the world's first commercial microprocessor.
There are only four major manufacturers in the world that independently develop and produce calculators: Casio, Texas Instruments, HP, and Sharp, and the function calculators outside these four are imitations, copycats or pirated copies.
The abandonment of Busi was completed by four other companies.
The function calculator has driven the take-off and transformation of HP, but Zhang Zhonghua is here, so the function calculator is destined to be out of luck with other companies, and the calculator will become the main product of Yuhuang Electric in the world.
Zhang Zhonghua is still excited when he thinks about it, as for the impossibility of monopolizing the 4004 chip, how will the computer develop without the 4004 chip.
The ugly country is so ruthless in dealing with IBM in anti-monopoly, the small body of Yuhuang Electric can't stand it, and it is enough to eat a few years of independent business, the Jade Emperor Group is not IBM, and if you dare to monopolize it all the time, you will be killed by the ugly country.
"Hello, welcome to Intel Corporation, is there anything we need to serve you?"
Intel's front desk girl said enthusiastically.
"Hello, I'm Zhonghua Zhang of YH Software Company, and I want to meet Mr. Robert Noyins."
Zhang Zhonghua also said politely.
As for what you're here for? I want to take a stake in your company, do you want to?
"Please wait, Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, I will inform our president."
The girl at the front desk said to Zhang Zhonghua with some excitement, Zhang Zhonghua is too famous, not only a big writer but also a super-rich man, but Intel is someone's company opposite.
Zhang Zhonghua walked into a somewhat simple reception room, the current Intel is really poor, I came to send you business and good fate, and sent money, but in the future, if you want to mix high-tech and bypass Intel, no one can bypass Intel, after all, high-tech is still playing with a hammer if there is no chip.
Ten minutes later, Robert Noyins, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove came to the reception room to greet Zhang Zhonghua.
The arrival of the three made Zhang Zhonghua a little flattered, after all, although Intel does not get up early now, there are not many people in Intel in the future.
"Hello Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, welcome to Intel, I'm Robert Noyins, these two are Gordon Moore and Andy Grove."
Robert Noyins enthused.
Zhang Zhonghua can be regarded as half of their peers, and his achievements in computer language and software are not comparable to those of his own, not to mention that he is still a super-rich man, well, rich.
"Hello, Mr. Robert Noyins, Mr. Gordon Moore, Mr. Andy Grove...... In particular, the number of transistors that can fit in Moore's integrated circuits doubles approximately every 18 months, and I strongly agree that integrated circuits will develop faster and faster in the future. ”
Zhang Zhonghua said politely, and his tone was very polite.
After the four of them walked into the small conference room and exchanged polite words, Zhang Zhonghua said straight to the point:
"I'm going to make a functional calculator to make it easier to calculate, and I think it's a lot easier to use a binary algorithm to concentrate all the computing units on a single chip...... So this time I came to Intel to entrust Intel to help research chips. ”
Robert Noyins took the design plan handed by Zhang Zhonghua and looked at it, the drawings were more detailed, Zhang Zhonghua could find the powerful Texas Instruments or Motorola, is he worried about the leakage of product news.
Change source app, view the latest chapters of the book on multiple sites at the same time. 】
In the eyes of Intel now, this is a super big business, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold without three million dollars, it is perfect, Robert Noyins is very excited.
"What are these four chips used for?"
Robert Noyins asked.
"My ideal calculator consists of four chips, one for read-only memory, one for random memory, one for the shift sender, and one for the CPU. Four chips work together, so the performance will be better......"
Zhang Zhonghua explained to Noyins.
As long as you have a chip, everything is ready, and as for the transistors, it is still very easy, and you can take care of the program yourself.
However, the chip is also too expensive, it is said that the cost of a piece is as high as 100 US dollars, and the purchase of wafers can only be reduced.
I'm sorry if I don't sell a calculator for $300, and R&D funds are expensive.
"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, this R&D cycle may take at least one year......
Robert Noyins began to talk about some of these difficulties, and Zhang Zhonghua quickly understood that it was nothing more than a question of price, what is money? What I have is money.
Subsequently, Zhang Zhonghua and the three chatted for nearly an hour, leaving an advance payment of $1 million before leaving, which can be paid at any time if the money is not enough.
