Time always slips away inadvertently, and it has been almost a year since Zhou Xin came to 1998.

For Western countries, Christmas is the most important holiday of the year, similar to the importance of the Spring Festival in China.

Zhou Xin originally wanted to spend time with Cao Yongluo, everyone was a stranger in a foreign land, and it was a holiday to find a better restaurant to have dinner together.

Before he could say hello to Mr. Cao, Mr. Aimo, an assistant lawyer at the law firm that had helped him with his patent application, asked Mr. Zhou to attend a holiday concert at Davis Hall on Christmas night.

It's not bad to spend Christmas with beautiful women, and in the end, Hu Zhengming called Zhou Xin to go to his house for Christmas, and Zhou Xin agreed without hesitation.

Spending Christmas with beautiful women, not going to the tutor's house to come over is comfortable.

After all, during the more than four years that he was a Ph.D. student at Berkeley, every Christmas was spent with Hu Zhengming's family at his home.

"Professor, thank you for taking care of you for the past year, it's a little bit of care."

Hu Zhengming has two sons, named Jason and Raymond.

is slightly older than Zhou Xin, if it is Zhou Xin twenty years later, it will be much older than him.

Now everyone is in their twenties, and there is no generation gap.

Hu Zhengming looked at the Christmas gift that Zhou Xin handed him, a very thin envelope with holiday packaging.

Christmas gifts belong to foreign customs, Hu Zhengming called Zhou Xin to come over for Christmas and didn't think about it, he opened it directly:

"Wow that's a great gift, how do you know I like her?"

"I've been to your office a few times, and once when I was in your office, the record player was playing Collins songs.

Collins was coming to Los Angeles for a concert in March, so I gave it as a Christmas present. ”

Judy Collins was an American singer active in the sixties and nineties.

Then Zhou Xin handed Raymond and Jason two similar envelopes: "Riot Games product vouchers."

This can be redeemed on Riot Games for any game we publish.

I don't know what you guys like. ”

Raymond is an artist who specializes in watercolor. Jason is also an artist with a focus on 3D art.

In a secular sense, neither of them achieved much in the field of art.

Raymond gave Zhou Xin a friendly hug, "Very good."

I really like the games your company makes, and your art style is very distinctive.

Including the Christmas DLC, it is also very distinctive.

It's just that the background and character art have been changed, and it makes me feel like I've completely changed the game. ”

Fortunately, Hu Zhengming's family is not the same as the traditional Chinese family, and he and his wife do not always compare other people's children with their own.

Even when talking about Zhou Xin at home, it is mainly based on the tone of the statement.

But even so, Raymond and Jason still have a sense of frustration in their hearts.

However, after Zhou Xin sold part of Riot Games shares to Microsoft for $200 million, Raymond and Jason instantly lost their frustration, the gap was too big, and they would no longer regard each other as a comparison object.

Jason nodded, "Very good."

It took me a long time to clear the level.

I'm also waiting for you to come out with a sequel. ”

Zhou Xin thought to himself, Raymond and Jason are not much different from twenty years later, they still like video games the same.

Twenty years later, Raymond volunteered at FCSN, the Association for the Assistance of Children with Special Needs.

Jason, on the other hand, is doing 3D design at a special effects company.

Every time he met with the two, they would all sit together and play FIFA video games.

"Newman, the Ph.D. foundation exam at Berkeley shouldn't be a problem for you.

The previous paper was published in the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits.

You try to get some results out every year, and it's okay to send one or two papers, right? ”

Hu Zhengming also calmed down, and Zhou Xin could not be managed as an ordinary doctoral student.

As Zhou Xin's doctoral supervisor, he only mentions the goal.

This requirement was easy for Zhou Xin to complete, so he simply replied, "Okay."

I will keep the frequency of one paper per year.

On the start-up level, there will be more things to deal with at the company level this year.

The professor may need your help with something in the future. ”

Hu Zhengming asked, "I will try my best to help you within my ability."

You can tell me what it is. ”

"I want to know some senior professors who have enough prestige in the academic world."

"That's no problem, I'll introduce you later."

"Professor, I split the game production part of Riot Games and set up a game production company.

I see that Raymond and Jason are both interested in video games, and you can help me ask them if they have any ideas for working at a game production company. ”

This is also essentially an exchange of interests.

Hu Zhengming did not shy away from it: "Okay, I'll ask them."

You don't have to look at my face to treat them more than ordinary employees.

Or do they have no talent and no interest in the field of integrated circuits.

My contacts and social connections are basically in the field of integrated circuits.

I had helped them find an Internet company, and then Raymond came back after two months of work, and I heard him say it was a mess of management. ”

"It's normal that most startups in Silicon Valley lack a set of management logic.

For startups, management is a luxury.

Only after there is no need to worry about survival will enterprises consider standardized management and management structure. ”

......

1998 was an important year in the development of the Internet. This year saw the establishment of Google and PayPal, and eBay began to sell various souvenirs on the Internet.

With e-payment, e-shopping officially took the stage.

For Huaguo, they launched the second phase of the construction of the Internet backbone network, expanding the backbone broadband to 155M.

For Zhou Xin, the accumulation of original capital was completed in this year.

There is no longer a need to think about selling patents to get the first pot of gold.

The UWP dual-chipset patent is not worth much in the future, but it doesn't mean it's not worth in the current era.

Whereas cables are now required to transfer files between files, the UWP dual chipset enables point-to-multipoint file transfers.

The product bypasses Texas Instruments' patented serial wireless USB and instead takes a point-to-multipoint approach to build an IP network to provide broadband video services to residential users.

The architecture has been upgraded from MIMO to Ultra-MIMO, allowing for greater range, higher link reliability, and RF penetration through walls.

A perfect replacement for Texas Instruments patents can be achieved.

Zhou Xin plans to wait until the establishment of the Huaguo branch, and then return to Huaguo to set up a company based on the UWP dual chipset in Huaguo to operate the product.

At the same time, it also accumulates talents for the subsequent semiconductor industry.
