Chapter 149: The Chinese Elite of Silicon Valley
Cang Yaozu remembers that Disney spent more than $50 billion to buy Twentieth Century Fox, and Sony, Verizon and Comcast have not bought it. DreamWorks' dismal demise is not due to the lack of international distribution channels for the film.
Therefore, Cang Yaozu does not regret eating Seagram Wines and thus indirectly winning Universal Pictures, not to mention that the money for this transaction is still owed, and the Universal Studios project alone has raised more than 20 billion US dollars for him, which is not a loss. This also illustrates a saying, that is, if there is a project, there will be money, and if there is money, there will be a project. about
What do reborn people rely on to get mixed well? It's certainly not technology, it's not actually connections, it's about foresight, and every reborn person is the best navigator and product manager of the enterprise.
When you know the right direction, you're an all-out hitchant. And the two pieces of film and television and sports can allow Cang Yaozu to quickly realize this foresight. The cultural and sports industry is the source of content for the Internet industry, which is very important to the linkage of various industries of Cang Yaozu.
So even if he is not doing his job, Cang Yaozu is also squeezing out the quota in the tight funds to lay out the layout in the cultural and sports industry, after all, no matter how tight the money is, there is also a squeeze, no, private jets and private islands are also arranged, it's a big deal to buy it and mortgage it, without these two things, it's not enough to soak up the girl.
These two things are powerful when gifts, but you can prepare a birthday gift for Aomei, you can't give an island, this is really a difficult thing to do, do you want to prepare a doll? Mattel's Barbie doll? I guess she has a lot, anti-Barbie Bazz doll? Uh, this has not been born yet, hey, this Bazz doll can be saved, only Barbie's doll world is too monotonous.
Doll, SpongeBob SquarePants, Peppa Pig, by the way, find Liz to voice Peppa Pig, this can be there. Peppa Pig may be premiering in the United States in this life, just right, handed over to Liz to dub, perfect, I'm really a genius.
Seeing Cang Yaozu's happy appearance, Elizabeth hurriedly asked, "Ah Yao, have you already thought of what gift to give me?"
"yes, I've thought about it, but I can't tell you, your birthday hasn't come yet, I have to surprise you, don't I?"
"Oh my God, that's not going to torture me, Yao, tell me now, Liz please. ”
"Okay, I bought a company in England and is working on a cartoon called "Peppa Pig", in which Peppa can be voiced by you, and I will pay you $10,000 for one hour, how about it?
"Wow, $10,000 an hour? That's so high, I'm going to get rich." Thank you, Yao, I want to kiss you. ”
Cang Yaozu happily leaned in front of Elizabeth Olsen, well, this time it was the right cheek, perfectly balanced. Earn the fragrant kisses of three little beauties in one day, this wave is not a loss.
After getting rid of the little beauty Elizabeth, Cang Yaozu remembered the gold-sucking weapon of the Bez doll again, and he gained a lot today. Since you are involved in film and television, and you are involved in anime movies, you must pay attention to the movie periphery.
Universal's strategy now is to win in Hasbro, suppress Disney and Mattel, take over Blue Sky Studios, and covet Pixar and DreamWorks Animation. The peripherals focus on Marvel superheroes, Transformers and other anime peripherals, focusing more on boys, and adding Baez dolls to fill the gap on the little girl's side.
That Baz doll because of the doll war with Mattel, the development is not very ideal, this time, Cang Yaozu must pay attention to avoid this problem, try not to dig Mattel's talents, first rely on their own development, and then say. Well, the first one is good to make a spice girl doll.
"Ah Yao, it's not fair, you gave Jessica two heroines, it's still a series of films, I only signed a Black Widow, I don't know when I can act, acting is to shoot a big easter egg, you bully people, this is too bullying. Scarlett came to her, and the little girl was unbalanced.
"Okay, I'll find you a film, mainly, it's a little embarrassing for your grade, it's not up or down, a movie suitable for your age, let me think about it, let me think about it. Cang Yaozu walked to the window and looked out the window, it was getting dark, and a few chefs who had been invited were busy in the kitchen, and they could start the meal when the guests they were waiting for arrived.
A film starring a girl of such an age, yes, that life in that life next year Scarlett starred in Bowei Pictures' "The Horse Whisperer", playing a little girl with a broken leg. Well, there is also a film called "A Natural Pair", this film Scarlett also went to audition, but she was not selected.
The film remake rights of "Born a Couple" also seem to be in the hands of Boywell Pictures, which is a remake of 1961's "Daddy Loves Mommy", and let Robert Iger negotiate that it can be produced by Legendary Pictures and co-distributed by Universal and Broadway.
"The Horse Whisperer" needs to buy the copyright, if the copyright is still there, buy it, and invest in distribution if it is gone, it is not a big problem. I just remember that the film "The Horse Whisperer" seems to be a bit long, nearly three hours.
Cang Yaozu found Robert Iger and explained to him about the two films "The Horse Whisperer" and "Natural Pair", and Iger would contact the author of "The Horse Whisperer" and negotiate the film remake with Bowei Pictures.
Robert Iger found that it was a good thing that the boss had more girlfriends, which forced him to think about movie projects, and it seems that in the future, when there are fewer projects, he can introduce a few girlfriends to the boss.
Scarlett heard the conversation between Cang Yaozu and Robert Iger, and her heart was full of joy, and her little face was like a flower.
Cang Yaozu looked at her and smiled, this little girl is still too young, it seems that when it comes time to shoot the easter eggs of "Iron Man 2", he will personally grab her makeup, and when the time comes, makeup and special effects will come into battle, and she must be given a mature and glamorous makeup.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the engineers of the dead house in Silicon Valley finally arrived, and Cang Yaozu prepared authentic Chinese food for them, which was completely localized, and the emphasis was on authenticity, and the chefs were all called by him from Huaxia.
Everyone was full of praise, chatting while eating, the meal slowly came to an end, there was no topic on the table, after the meal, several people came to a large study on the second floor of this villa, and everyone sat down.
Cang Yaozu ushered in another important speech since his rebirth. The speakers were Scooper's Wang Fengmin and Lai Gaoen, Shengdie's Jack Yuan, NVIDIA's Jensen Huang, Mabwell's Dai Weili and Zhou Xiuwen, and VIA's Chen Wenqi and Wang Xuehong.
"Everyone, I'm Cang Yaozu of Mountainside Technology, it's a pleasure to meet you, oh, eight, a good number, it reminds me of the Eight Rebel Generals of Fairchild, it seems to be a good sign. Moreover, this year is the 50th anniversary of the birth of transistors, and it is a period of explosion in the Internet industry, we can make a great cause, I hope you can leave a strong mark in the history of semiconductor development. ”
"Mr. Cang, you have been promoted, just a few of us can't do any big business, we are all very small and small roles. The answer was Ms. Dai Weili of Mabwell, who immigrated to San Francisco with her parents at the age of 17 from the magic capital, and was more cordial to Cang Yaozu from Yandu.
"Okay, Sister Dai is humble, in my heart, you are all pillars, this is not a lie. They are all practical people here, and they don't waste time doing small things. Then I'll get straight to the point, since Windows95 went on the market, the Wintel alliance can be said to be stable, and it is difficult to shake it, leaving AMD even if the CPU surpasses Intel in performance, it can't shake the status of the Wintel alliance. It is always Intel who wins the battle between red and blue. ”
"Mr. Cang, there is still a chance for the X86 architecture, after all, Intel and AMD can't eat all the market. And the CPU part, I think there is still a chance to enter. "VIA's Wenqi Chen, who has been coveting the market for a long time, has a different opinion.
Cang Yaozu listened to Chen Wenqi speak, silently, of course he knew that there was still a chance, but this opportunity was difficult to grasp, even if it got up, it would be pressed down by Intel, after all, Intel left AMD, mainly for anti-monopoly considerations, the rise of the third CPU giant enterprise is not good for Intel.
"Mr. Chen, the chances are very small, even if you can open the situation, Intel will kill you soon, and he doesn't need a third company to come in and grab food. The joint strangulation of lawsuits, patents, and the Wintel Alliance, a set of combination punches, everyone has to kneel. Of course, you VIA can do it, I support it, I won't lose anything, you can always make money, even if you quit in the end, Intel and AMD are willing to take over. ”
Chen Wenqi: "It's a bit pessimistic, this market is very big, and you can't stop doing it because Intel is strong, X86 chips." ”
"Well, this market is very big, and the money is good, but it's not our dish. Next, I will talk about the purpose of this meeting, some time ago, Shengdi's Jack Yuan poached Mr. Lai Gaoen, Mr. Wang Fengmin heard about it, and proposed to see me, and it just so happened that I also had something to talk to you, so I asked Jack to make an appointment with everyone.
Some time ago, I acquired MIPS as a whole and took a part of the equity of ARM, in fact, mainly to get some patents for RISC reduced instruction set. I've come up with a new set of reduced instruction sets, which I've named RISC-V, which is the fifth generation of reduced instruction sets.
This is a set of minimalist, modular design, high efficiency and low energy consumption, scalable, no historical burden of inefficient instructions of a new generation of instruction set, is currently being improved by the team of Professor John Henness of the Department of Computer Science of Stanford University and Professor David Patterson of the Department of Computer Science of the University of California, Berkeley. ”
Chen Wenqi: "Mr. Cang, it is too difficult to rebuild a set of instruction set architecture now, and the investment is very large. ”
Cang Yaozu nodded, basically agreeing with Chen Wenqi's statement: "You are all experts in the semiconductor industry, let me talk about my thoughts first, and welcome everyone to criticize and correct." RISC-V is a set of reduced instruction sets, and there are many application scenarios for this set of instructions, but I am not going to focus on the application scenario of personal PCs, because on PC, the wintel alliance is already very solid, and it is really difficult to please in this field, so we will avoid competing with the wintel alliance in the PC field in the early stage.
We target all application scenarios other than personal PCs, such as servers, microcontrollers and embedded application scenarios, such as mobile phones, mobile storage, digital cameras, video security, smart homes, in-vehicle platforms, and future artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, drones, Internet of Things, wearables, etc. RISC-V adopts a modular design, and a subset of RISC-V instructions can be used for the development of specific application scenarios, improving chip performance while ensuring compatibility. ”
"Mr. Cang, this set of instructions is mature, isn't it? Can it be used now? Or is it in development?" asked Huang.
Huang is the founder and CEO of Nvidia, and he is very serious and capable, well, he often wears a black leather jacket, such as today, he came in a black leather jacket.
"Mr. Huang, the RISC-V instruction set has been very perfect, and the imperfect ones are the development tools and simulation environment. ”
"Lao Huang, aren't you guys engaged in graphics cards? How can you have the spare energy to do something else? Chen Wenqi quipped.
"Yes, Lao Huang, your task now should be to make a profit, you have been really miserable recently, and you have been defeated by the Voodoo graphics card. ”
"It's because it's miserable that I have to open my mind and look at other things, maybe I can touch the bypass. Huang smiled, his Nvidia is really miserable now, so to speak, it has not found enough foundation to gain a foothold in Silicon Valley.
What Huang didn't tell everyone is that Nvidia doesn't have much money, and if it doesn't raise money, there will be no rice to cook, let alone research and development of new projects. If this development continues, it is possible that the company will go bankrupt, so he urgently needs to find a direction and a profitable project.
