Chapter 101: Persecuting ARM

The evening reception was not held by Alan Hugh, it was hosted by Joe Lewis, right on his estate.

Joe Lewis made a fortune in 1992 with Soros in the pound, and since then he has been focusing on foreign exchange, investment and collecting, and his Ennick Investment Group has bought several football clubs, and has also wanted to buy Tottenham, but it has not been successful.

This time, Cang Yaozu's Penguin Capital started too quickly, and Alan Hugg cooperated with Penguin Capital because he wanted to cooperate with Penguin Capital on several subsequent projects. By the time Joe Lewis reacted, the dust had settled.

The theme of the reception is the New Year's reception, and Kura Yaozu arrives at Joe Lewis's estate with Gisele Bundchen, Melissa, Beckham, Victoria and Simon Fowler, and Alan Hugh and little Edgar bring Ronaldo and his female companion with him. There are no paparazzi here, and of course there are no rookies at such a drinking party, all of which are attended by some business elites and political celebrities with status and status. Well, Manchester United's chairman, Martin Edwards, is also there.

Cang Yaozu also saw the famous hippie capitalist Richard Branson, whose Virgin Group was one of the few private companies in England. When someone brags, they say you're awesome, you're number one, and you're flying a plane in the sea.

Richard Branson is one such person, he really flies a plane in the sea. This is a figure that Cang Yaozu needs to look up to, maybe one day, Cang Yaozu will also join them, when the money reaches a certain level, there will be an inexplicable emptiness, maybe then the sky and the sea will become the new goal pursued by these people.

Virgin Group has created a Virgin Marine submarine that can dive humans into the ocean at any depth. It uses the latest synthesis technology and unique flying wing technology to "fly" in a marine environment. Marine creatures such as dolphins, whales, manta rays, etc., have proven that this way of "flying" is the best way to roam in the ocean.

The pressure at the bottom of the deepest Mariana Trench will exceed 1,000 atmospheres, which is a big challenge for submarines. According to reports, the Virgin Ocean submarine is made of carbon fiber and titanium weighing about 3,629 kilograms.

According to the design, this one-person submarine can operate on the seabed at a depth of about 11,100 meters, and can dive independently without assistance for 24 hours. Once fully submerged, the submarine's horizontal rudders and thrusters will guarantee that it will be able to fly more than 10 kilometers on the seabed. In the process, the submarine is also capable of carrying out various detection missions.

In addition, the Viking records that Edgar Jr. wanted to buy were founded by Richard Branson and sold to EMI in 1992 for $1 billion.

Cang Yaozu also saw the heir of Tetra Pak packaging, Kirston Lawsin, and now Cang Yaozu's pure fruit juice drink is in the square packaging box of Tetra Pak, which can be regarded as a partner. Tetra Pak is a company that makes a lot of money, very low-key, and very profitable.

Most of the tycoons at the cocktail party are engaged in the real industry, all of them are heavy assets, Cang Yaozu is not too interested, he still focuses on the technology and entertainment industry, it is just a beautiful mistake to win the Seagram wine industry, and at present, professional managers help him manage it, and he doesn't think much about it.

Edgar Jr. was at home at the reception, and he has recently raised funds to learn from Cang Yaozu and buy music companies through private equity to build his music empire. Well, this kid learns pretty fast, and he's going to steal Melissa's business.

Melissa was also very active, chatting well with the big ladies and girls at the reception, and she really got a few fundraisings, and Kirston Lawring of Tetra Pak Packaging invested 50 million pounds in Penguin Capital, which is really a good employee.

Gisele Bundchen and Victoria got together and whispered there, presumably talking about some topics in the fashion circle, and these two women are also strong women, and they have a common language.

Beckham also chatted with Martin Edwards and made his determination clear, Martin Edwards nodded and said that he understood, and he would communicate with Ferguson when he returned to Manchester United and let him go as soon as possible. Beckham is indeed gaining momentum now, but it is not impossible to say how good he is, it is not irreplaceable.

Then Cang Yaozu saw Dr. Herman Hauser, the founder of ARM, who was a bigwig in England's technology industry.

"Hello, Dr. Hauser. ”

"Call me Herman, young man, I heard that you took 42% of Apple's ARM shares?"

"Mr. Herman, you can call me Ah Yao. Not me, Penguin Capital is a private equity fund, mainly Citigroup and England investors, and I have some shares in it. Penguin Capital took Newton, and incidentally, those ARM shares, and I worked with Professor John Henness of the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University and Professor David Patterson of the Department of Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley to develop the fifth generation of RISC-V, and I am currently working on the RISC-V development kit and tape-out experiments. ARM has more experience in this area, and I want to merge ARM into Penguin Capital, jointly develop this set of reduced instruction sets, and continue ARM's current IP licensing model, I wonder Mr. Herman, what do you think?"

"You're really getting RISC-V out, what are you going to do in the future? If ARM doesn't agree to be acquired. ”

"If you ARM don't agree to be acquired, we don't want to continue this parallel competitive situation, RISC can't get CISC in the first place, and if we divide our forces to fight, we will only be broken by each other. In order to speed up the development progress, we will open source RISC-V, and every enterprise and institution can freely use our architecture, but cannot sublicense, so as to cut off your ARM's livelihood, and the IP licensing business will be taken back from MIPS, and MIPS will attach great importance to commercial operations and will not only do some academic research. ”

"Are you trying to kill ARM? We're planning to go public, and you're doing this, and the valuation is going to collapse?"

"Your ARM development is just like that, we catch up quickly, you agree to be acquired, let's make progress together, if you don't agree, you can only block all your ways out. MIPS is now spun off from SGI and is currently working on the MIPS64 architecture standard, which we will not commercially license ARM, but will instead file a patent lawsuit against you. ”

"Isn't everyone doing well now? Why are you so nervous?"

"It's you ARM who use the authorization given to you by others to collect licensing fees everywhere, okay, now we have to recover the profits, otherwise we will smash the pot, and no one of you will eat." ”

"Okay, how many shares are you going to take?"

"We're going to take another 30 percent or so of the shares, and then, the two of them will work together, and they'll license each other, and I need your chip design, realistic tools, and environments. This kind of technology is not allowed to be licensed, it involves monopoly, but we can control the amount of authorization. As a researcher of the fifth generation of RISC instruction set, we must have such a status, otherwise we are sorry for the effort we have spent. ”

"Ah Yao, your behavior of flipping the table is really annoying. ”

"If you don't report back to the R&D, no one will engage in R&D in the future, so you won't have anything to authorize. Mr. Herman, you can handle it on the government's side, I will use Panda Capital to buy the 30% shares, and I will buy the 42% shares of Apple with Penguin Capital. ”

"Well, I'm sorry to be here. ”

"Haha, Herman, if you don't come, I'll go to you, and if you can't cooperate, I'm sure you'll be even sadder. Professor David Patterson from the University of California, Berkeley, asked me to say hello to you on his behalf, he thanked you for promoting RISC over the years, and I hope to continue to work together in the coming days to beat intel in both embedded chips and server chips, and I want to tell you that RISC-V is very powerful, with a new design concept, and a significant improvement in performance on the server side. In addition, ARM will get the authorization and patent of 64-bit RISC, which will greatly improve the technical reserve of ARM 64-bit chips. ”

"Well, thank you Professor David Patterson for your support and trust in ARM over the years. The RISC-V you mentioned sounds very good, and I hope we can work together to seize more CISC markets. ”

"It's a must, then it's settled, Mr. Herman. Your technicians need to go to Silicon Valley to work for about half a year, and we have to get the RISC-V development kit and everything as soon as possible. ”

"It's decided, I'll arrange for someone to go over when I get back. Either way, after today, it's a new beginning. ”

Sending Herman Hauser away, Cang Yaozu's mission tonight was completed, and it can even be said that his mission in England was almost completed.
