Chapter 22 Xie Yinggang and Gates finished eating
"I can understand you.
The more practitioners in the industry, the more aware of the huge gap between Huaguo's semiconductor industry and foreign countries.
Not to mention that compared with Ameriken, the size, scale and technology of China's semiconductor industry are probably similar to Malaysia.
Your idea is good, but it's really too difficult. ”
Hu Zhengming couldn't be clearer about how difficult it is to return to China to engage in the semiconductor industry.
In 1985, he was invited by Academician Yan Dongsheng to make a material for Huaguo, called: Strategic and Important Consulting Suggestions for the Development of Huaguo Microelectronics Science and Technology.
Of course, for China at that time, there were indeed no resources to develop such intensive industries, and capital-intensive and engineer-intensive coexisted.
I fell behind before, and it was even more difficult to catch up later.
Now when I go back to China to start an integrated circuit business, I can only make a profit by transferring some low-end industries back, and the mid-end semiconductor industry will not have great benefits if I put it in China.
The reason is that from accessories to equipment to technical support, all rely on imports, and the only advantage is labor costs.
"As long as you can meet the graduation requirements, I will graduate you.
If you really go back to China to start a business in the future, I will recommend a few talents to you at that time.
It's also Ling's senior brother.
Their brains are not as active as yours, but their accumulation in the field of integrated circuits is very deep.
I mainly recruit Chinese students, in a sense, to make a contribution to the development of integrated circuits in China.
It's just that few of them return to China after graduation.
Some returned to China for two years, but still went to Xiangjiang through various channels, and then returned to Ameriken.
I talked to them, and they couldn't stand the low treatment.
In Ameriken, you can earn 5,000 dollars a month, and when you go back, you can go to a state-owned enterprise for about 15 RMB.
This gap is not something that everyone can bear. ”
"I also hope that you will succeed in starting a business in China, and you will be able to provide better jobs and cultivate some talents for China."
Zhou Xin knew that Lao Hu's wishes were only realized after 18 years.
After 18 years, there are not too many international students in the field of integrated circuits who return to China for employment.
This is a materialistic world, and it is not sustainable to talk about giving alone.
......
Citrus is at 6703 Melrose Ave., which is also Zhou Xin's first visit to this restaurant.
Maybe by the time he comes to San Francisco in the future, the restaurant will be gone, maybe it's closed, maybe it's a different address, maybe it's a different name.
"Hello Newman, you're younger than I thought you were."
Similarly, Bill Gates is much younger than Zhou Xin imagined.
Since Zhou Xin was conscious, Bill Gates has been retired, and most of his occasional public appearances are raunchy, and he will appear older than his actual age.
"Hello, it's hard for me to imagine that I was still eating in the cafeteria of Yenching University a year ago, and a year later I was already having dinner with the richest man in the world."
Gates nodded: "I know you used to be a student at Yan University, and now you have transferred to Berkeley."
Yan University is very good, I have been to Yan University to give lectures, and your students have left a deep impact on me.
I only went to Mizuki University last year, but unfortunately I didn't go to Yan University.
If I had gone to Yan University last year, it would have been possible that we had known each other last year. ”
Bill Gates has a good impression of China, not only because of China's vast market.
He went to China once a year for the whole of the nineties starting with his first visit to China in '94.
"I wasn't enrolled in school when you went to Yan University to give a lecture before."
"Yes, it's a shame.
Every time I meet young people, it always makes me feel very good, because I was so young and energetic when I started my business.
Thinking that all problems will not stump me.
You can try this, although this restaurant is an Italian restaurant, but their chef skills are clearly French.
I love the taste of this blend of styles.
Originally, I was looking for a Chinese restaurant, but I really didn't know which Chinese restaurant in the San Francisco area was better.
Next time you come to Seattle, I'll take you to Louie's Cuisine of China, which has been the most popular Chinese restaurant in all of Seattle since many years ago, and it tastes great. ”
In many conspiracy theories in the West, Bill Gates is the image of the boss behind it.
Zhou Xin also talked to him about the Internet in China and some friends around him after he went to San Francisco, which had a profound impact on him.
After actually making contact with the other party, Zhou Xin found that Bill Gates was very humble and dressed very plainly.
Simple khaki button-down shirt.
"Thank you very much, I will definitely visit Seattle if I have the opportunity."
"There's definitely going to be a chance.
I also played the Angry Birds you developed, and it was very interesting.
Or rather, a lot of people played, and I saw the icon of the red bird on the desktops of many executives.
Great game ideas. ”
"It's a credit to our entire team.
Microsoft has a lot of great employees, and we formed a game development team and then built the game. ”
Bill Gates smiled and did not pursue Zhou Xin's digging of his corner: "If it weren't for such a thing, I wouldn't have realized that Microsoft also has game development talents."
We've actually been doing game publishing all the time.
Last year, I represented Age of Empires by Ensemble Studios, which is a real-time strategy game that is different from yours.
It's also a great video game. ”
"I've played it, and it's really good."
"But what amazed me the most was the payment method you designed.
After I looked into it, I had the urge to get Ed out of here.
You may not quite know who Ed is.
Ed Freese
He is the head of our game publishing department.
There are more than 1,000 people in the entire game publishing department, and no one thought that we could take such a way and achieve the release of the game.
We also need to take the traditional way of going to game developers to copy the packaging and then distribute the game to every channel.
It's just stupid, isn't it?
We have more than 1,000 people in charge of this business.
But in fact, with the payment system that you developed, we were able to reduce the number of people to less than a hundred.
At the same time, it can publish the game to the world through pure online methods.
What a great creation this is.
Your idea is good, and Microsoft will apply it in the future.
This is a kind of borrowing that is inevitable for large enterprises.
But I still want you to take charge of this department for me, and take care of the whole game publishing work.
This is your forte.
We're going to start the development of home consoles next year, and I'm going to hand over the entire gaming field to you, and you're directly responsible for me.
What do you think? ”
Ed Fries was a long time vice president of game publishing at Microsoft.
Bill Gates is not a pie, this year to take charge of the game publishing department, after proving his ability, he does plan to hand over Xbox to Zhou Xin.
