Chapter 629
At the American Computer Society, Anel Horner, president of the Association for Computing Machinery, who got the news that the crawler had been cracked, quickly entered the puServe site, downloaded the cracked software from the site to the computer, stored it on tape, and began to remove the virus for pdp-10 one by one.
"Ladies and gentlemen, as one of the greatest computer experts so far, Zhang Zhonghua first developed compression software to solve the problem of insufficient storage in computers at present; Subsequently, the latest ImF database software was developed, which was convenient for banking, securities, finance and other industries, and allowed computers to enter all walks of life; Then, a new C language was developed, which provided programmers with a better and more complete computer language. Immediately afterwards, Mr. Zhang Zhonghua developed the UNIX system, and also open-sourced the system; And now Zhang Zhonghua has cracked this crawler that has plagued computer experts all over the world for three months. I think Mr. Zhang Zhonghua's contributions and achievements in the field of computing are unparalleled, and I think his achievements are long enough to win the Turing Award. We cannot be prejudiced against him just because he is an Oriental, let alone turn a blind eye to Mr. Zhang Zhonghua's contributions. Zhang Zhonghua's outstanding contributions in the fields of computer languages and database technology alone are enough to win two Turing Awards. If we continue to ignore him as a figure who can be remembered in the history of computing, the credibility of the Turing Award will inevitably be dealt a heavy blow and replaced by other awards......" Karel Cherny said excitedly to his colleagues.
And Arnell Horner is also speechless, Zhang Zhonghua should not only win two Turing Awards, almost every one of his achievements can win the Turing Award.
And the Turing Award was only established in 1966, and one person won the Turing Award in a year, Zhang Zhonghua has so many achievements, but if Zhang Zhonghua wins the Turing Award every year, then what should they Amerika do?
…… Stanford University. Vincent Perez watched the noon news on TV, and then looked in the direction of Silicon Valley, he admired and envied Zhang Zhonghua incomparably.
"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua is really amazing, so many professors in our school are trying to get rid of this damn reptilian virus, but it has been three months to no avail, and those infected computers are all placed in the warehouse to eat ashes. And Mr. Zhang Zhonghua only took more than an hour to solve this problem that countless people can't solve, and he is simply a god that we programmers want to worship. Joss Hoyweld said, looking at the Silicon Valley direction project.
"Not only the professors at our school, but also the University of California, Berkeley, have been cracking this virus, and the major computer companies are working hard. But Mr. Zhang Zhonghua solved it in just over an hour, which is really remarkable. I will also burn incense in front of Zhang Zhonghua's photos in the future, and ask Zhang Zhonghua to bless me to become a senior programmer. Vincent Perez said with a smile.
"What is burning incense?"
"One of the rituals I learned from the Yanxia people in Chinatown is the ritual of praying to the gods in the East, and I heard that you can get the blessings of the gods."
"Oh, I see, I want to buy a newspaper and cut out a photo of Zhang Zhonghua, and then go to Chinatown to buy an incense burner and incense, and I have to bow three times every morning, and ask Zhang Zhonghua to bless me to enter Yh Software Company." Joss Hoyweld said with a smile.
"Hahaha! I think it's the same way, and it's useful to pray to the picture. "Zhang Zhonghua: I thank you very much!
I would really appreciate it! Burning incense in front of the photo, what is this for Lao Tzu? Do you want to change the photo to black and white?
The day of disturbance was soon over, and Zhang Zhonghua, who got up early the next day, started running near the company's artificial lake.
At this time, there are basically no people in the park, and it is quite quiet, after all, the profession of programmer, it is impossible to go to bed early and get up early, basically go to bed late and get up late, so at this time I basically see people.
YH's programmers have basically bought local villas in Silicon Valley, and if nothing else, these programmers will be able to make a lot of money in the future just by relying on the villas they buy.
At present, the entire Silicon Valley has a population of only about 100,000 but less than 200,000, but in the future, the population here will exceed 3 million, and such a villa will cost more than 5 million US dollars, and you will be able to sell the villa after a few decades.
After the exercise was over, after taking a shower, Zhang Zhonghua walked towards Intel Corporation, which was opposite Yh Company.
When he arrived at Intel, Arthur Locke, Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove had already greeted Zhang Zhonghua at the door of the company.
The main purpose of Zhang Zhonghua's visit to America this time is Intel's plan to list on the New York Stock Exchange, and it is very troublesome for Intel to go public.
Of course, the trouble is mainly because it is a little entangled with Zhang Zhonghua, which makes Zhang Zhonghua feel very troublesome.
At present, Intel's main products are 4004 and 8008 microprocessors, and the ownership of these two microprocessors is in the hands of Zhang Zhonghua, and the intellectual property rights of the instruction technology of these two microprocessors also belong to Zhang Zhonghua?
If Intel can't get back the ownership of the various patents of these two microprocessors, Intel can't even produce chips, and can't produce chips, then Intel will still be a hook, wait for death.
"Hi Locke, Noyce, Moore, Grove, long time no see, I'm really sorry to have just come here today." Zhang Zhonghua said politely to a few people in front of him.
"It's okay, Zhang! Things are also prioritized, more important things should be done, I have to say Zhang, you are really amazing, I heard that it only took you more than an hour to get rid of the crawler......" Noyce said enthusiastically to Zhang Zhonghua.
They did make an appointment with Zhang Zhonghua to hold a board meeting yesterday afternoon, but yesterday Zhang Zhonghua made such a big move, which completely shocked all the people who care about computers in America, and America's countless programmers are also admired, of course, including Noyce and others.
After a few words of greeting at the door of the company, Zhang Zhonghua and the others walked into Intel and came directly to Intel's conference room.
After everyone sat down in the conference room, everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts, and they had their own thoughts, and the matter about the company's equity had to be dealt with.
"Zhang, last week, Texas Instruments released a new microprocessor that performs about the same as our 4004. In order for Intel to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, we must have patent ownership of 4004, 8008 and microprocessor instruction technologies. So ......," Neuss explained.
"Okay, I understand what you mean, although I won't ask anything about the company, but I also hope that our company can have a better development. The company's fame and listing has a huge impact on increasing the cohesion of the company, and all employees can also enjoy the benefits brought by the company's growth, so the company must be listed. Regarding the patent transfer of the 4004 and 8008 chips, does Intel have any plans on its side? Zhang Zhonghua said that in order for Intel to list the patent of the chip must be transferred to Intel, but it cannot be in vain, and more benefits must be given.
After Zhang Zhonghua successfully invested in Intel last time, Intel's share structure has also changed a lot, Arthur Locke holds 20% of the shares, Noyce and Moore each hold 18% of the shares, SoftBank Capital holds 15% of the shares, Grove holds 9% of the shares, and employee options 20%, Lou Xiao'e is also the fourth largest shareholder of Intel as a nominee.
Arthur Locke, Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove were a little helpless after listening to Zhang Zhonghua's words, and yesterday, the four of them also revised the share distribution plan again.
They understand that Intel can achieve today's achievements, and Zhang Zhonghua's contribution is huge, even more than the four of them combined.
But Zhang Zhonghua's identity is indeed a little too embarrassing, and he must not hold too many shares in the company, otherwise is Intel an American company or a Yanxia company?
。
"Zhang, my idea is that this is a pro-IPO, the company will be listed and issue 25% of the shares, and directly entrust those market dealers to sell the shares. SoftBank Capital still holds 12% of the shares, Zhang, your personal stake is 9.9%, and the remaining 32% of the shares are co-diluted by Intel. Intel's two chips were sold to the Jade Emperor Group at a 7% discount from the market price, and other chips in the future will be sold to the Jade Emperor Group at a 9% discount from the market price. Arthur Locke slowly told Zhang Zhonghua the results of their discussion.
Zhang Zhonghua was very excited after hearing Arthur Locke's words, and a fleeting smile appeared on his face.
In the future, Intel was once the absolute hegemon in the field of personal PCs, and if Intel's chips were sold to the Jade Emperor Group at a nine-percent discount, it could leave an astronomical amount of money for the Jade Emperor Group, and the related products of the Jade Emperor Group would be more competitive.
Wall Street now is not the Wall Street of a few decades later, now Wall Street is about sharing wealth, and the founders of various large emerging companies can be said to have more than 10% of the company's shares in their hands can be said to be a great miracle!
But if you start a company and develop to a certain extent, you must go public, and if you don't go public, you will never be able to become a super company in the world unit.
"Of course, there is no problem, but I and SoftBank Capital still promise to the board of directors that we will never interfere in the development of the company unless we are faced with a very important situation or involve my personal and SoftBank vital interests. Intel will continue to be led by you, and the Jade Emperor Group will still provide you with the greatest help, and I believe that Intel will definitely become a global chip giant in the future under your leadership. The four of them were relieved to see that Zhang Zhonghua had no objection to their plan, Zhang Zhonghua, a shareholder, is really a perfect shareholder, except for the company's financial representation and supervision of finance, the others do not interfere with the company's management at all.
Zhang Zhonghua's butterfly effect is already very large, in the previous life, Intel did not even have the qualifications to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, but it was listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange just established this year, and now even the listed stock exchange has been changed, which shows that Intel has changed greatly compared with the previous life.
Later, the share transfer contract was re-signed, and the new shareholding organization also underwent significant changes, with Noyce and Moore each holding 12% of the shares, SoftBank Capital holding 12%, Arthur Locke holding 11%, Zhang Zhonghua holding 9.9%, Grove holding 5.8% of the shares, and employees holding 12.3%, and the voting rights of employee ownership are of course controlled by several founders.
After the company is listed, it will definitely issue additional shares in the future, and Zhang Zhonghua can keep three seats on the board of directors, and Zhang Zhonghua's request is just to have some say in Intel.
As for mastering Intel, this is something he can't even think of. The shares of Intel, Cisco, and Microsoft of America all have a common feature, and the market value has basically not changed much in the more than ten years since it was listed.
In the 90s, Bill Gates still held about 40% of Microsoft's shares, and the stock market had less than 1% of the shares circulating every day, so it was normal that the market value did not change.
Everyone is unwilling to dilute the shares in their hands, so they can only issue additional shares, and in the end, the shares in everyone's hands are slowly diluted in this way.
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway stock is not, with a market value of more than hundreds of thousands of dollars per share, and everyone can't afford it.
Can't afford to play, right? Then split the shares, split one share into 100 shares, and if you can't afford it, then think of other ways, but it is really impossible to continue the stock split.
"Zhang, now the price of Texas Instruments' chips is about 160 US dollars, so we Intel will also raise the price, 4004 chips we plan to set at 130 US dollars, 8008 chips at 220 US dollars......" Noyce said with some embarrassment, just promised a nine-percent discount, and now the price will be raised, which is really not authentic.
"No problem, I totally understand that. Intel can price according to the market conditions, and Yuhuang Electric has almost enjoyed two years of market dividends, which should allow everyone to make money together. By the way, the promotion of the 8008 microprocessor before the listing is also a lot of benefit to the company's market value......" Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
In fact, now this price is already very generous, Intel's 4004 chip was sold for $200 in the previous life, and Yuhuang Electric has also developed the market prospect of 4004 chip, and the market value of Intel can be imagined.
"By the way, we have also seen the microprocessor market, 8008 chips can also be directly used in personal computers, I think the personal computer market in the future must be extremely huge," Zhang Zhonghua boasted about the prospects of the microprocessor market, in the previous life Intel did not pay attention to the field of microprocessors, and important R & D personnel left Intel to found Zilog.
In the end, the Z80 chip also pushed Intel to the ground and rubbed it back and forth. In order not to be sanctioned by antitrust trusts in the future, Intel has been slowly developing in the form of squeezing toothpaste, and has also cultivated a little brother Amd.
"I understand, thank you Zhang Zhonghua for pointing out the direction of our future development." Several people attach great importance to Zhang Zhonghua's reminder, you must know that Zhang Zhonghua is a super-rich man, in their opinion, Zhang Zhonghua has come to this point in a few years, relying on accurate vision.
Zhang Zhonghua didn't miss a single step, so they had to pay attention to Zhang Zhonghua's opinion.
