Chapter 115: Gambling or Not Gambling

Hanging up the phone, Su Yuanshan smiled very happily.

The international long-distance just now cost him a hundred yuan, but if this long-distance is the key to Chen Haoming's browser, then this long-distance is too cost-effective.

The Internet in the 90s! Such a money-making outlet, of course, Su Yuanshan will not miss it.

It's just that he didn't consider letting Yuanxin or Xinghai do it himself - he only needed Qin Si's direct angel investment, and then he could realize it before the millennium Internet winter.

You must know that the Internet winter is also a semiconductor winter. Ten years later, 01-03 was the lowest year-on-year growth in semiconductors' 60-year history – nearly minus 30%.

It was also the only one that Samsung, which has been good at countercyclical acquisitions since the 80s, didn't make a move.

Su Yuanshan doesn't know if Samsung is still playing, but this time, including countercyclical investment in the future, it is time for Yuanxin to play.

But Su Yuanshan didn't want to get involved in the Internet in the 90s, it doesn't mean that some of his subordinates have found the direction and don't do it, besides, the browser is the foundation of the Internet, and no matter how cold the winter is, it can't freeze it.

Not to mention anything else, Chen Haoming came up with a browser, and Yuanxin is equivalent to one more Netscape.

Anyone with a little bit of Internet memory knows how crazy Netscape, which was only established in 93, was crazy at the beginning of the public offering.

The capital and market craze inflated, so much so that Netscape tried to use the browser's market and influence to challenge the operating system.

Perhaps in the eyes of Netscape, a newborn calf, Windows 3.1 is nothing more than Er.

It's a pity that Microsoft has never been a vegetarian. After realizing Netscape's ambitions, Microsoft directly cooperated with Spyglass, and after obtaining the license and source code, directly made Internet Explorer, which is the famous Internet Explorer. and Netscape started a browser war.

When the version reached IE4.0, it was completely bundled with Windows and became the default browser in pre-installed form.

At this time, Netscape, which had already failed, offered a free banner and started a non-profit project in Mozilla, trying to break the net. But after all, it still can't stop Microsoft's wheels from rolling.

The battle ended with Microsoft's victory.

β€”β€”Win98 came out, the world was peaceful.

Later, Netscape was sold to AOL (AOL), and Microsoft was also launched into an antitrust and abuse of market position investigation. Scared Microsoft out enough.

After Microsoft dodged the antitrust stick, AOL angrily launched a compensation lawsuit against Microsoft. In order to calm things down, Microsoft has also taken a step back...... $750 million was lost, and a seven-year period was set.

Later, AOL, who was in the midst of the Internet winter and was too busy to take care of itself, disbanded the Netscene team, but did not forget to keep the fire for Mozilla, leaving a little fox to disgust Microsoft.

Compared with Netscape, Xinghai came to engage in this browser, and the ending must be different.

In this life, Su Yuanshan's goal has always been clear - Microsoft is not his enemy.

He has only one enemy, and that is the stick of the future.

......

The phone call came to Claude's side, and after asking for the decryption method, the two sides had a brief exchange, and Su Yuanshan began to decrypt the document.

Based on the principle of "brothers settle accounts", Xinghai obviously will not "dedicate" all the data involving patents and trade secrets, which need to be exchanged for IP by Yuanxin.

In fact, most of the documents given by Claude this time are descriptions of what they have achieved and their thoughts on CPU architecture. It's not an exaggeration to think of it as a detailed development requirement.

And the document also carries the mutual consideration of the two sides - Su Yuanshan needs to judge the technical strength of Claude's team through the document, and Claude also needs to judge whether Su Yuanshan's side is really as sharp as he said.

......

Ten days later, Gao Xiaodi came to Su Yuanshan's office.

Looking at Gao Xiaodi's red eyes and tired expression, Su Yuanshan was secretly refreshed in his heart: "Finished reading?"

"I'm done. ”

"Understood?"

"Almost. Gao Xiaodi scratched his greasy hair and said with a wry smile: "I understand, but my mind is empty." I always feel like I can do it, but I can't find a clue - the x86 architecture is so complex?"

Su Yuanshan smiled and comforted: "Because we didn't do it in the first place, it looks a little more complicated." You let Senior Brother Qin come, and he was also confused. ”

Hearing that Qin Weimin was the same as himself, Gao Xiaodi breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked, "What about you?"

"I'm ready to do architectural design. ”

"......" Gao Xiaodi glared at him a few times, and said for a long time: "I won't tell you! I'll take a leave, rest my brain, and arrange a job for me tomorrow." ”

Here, Zhou Xiaohui saw Gao Xiaodi staggering out when he walked, and said with a dumb smile: "Gao Gong's appearance, I don't know and think he did something." ”

Su Yuanshan continued to stare at the monitor: "Well, it's like a cowherd who has been squeezed dry." ”

Zhou Xiaohui snorted, picked up the phone in a timely manner, and then covered the microphone and said to Su Yuanshan: "Zheng Gong from the Optical Machinery Institute is going to come to visit and ask when you are free?"

Su Yuanshan raised his head: "Just say that there is any time." ”

After Zhou Xiaohui replied, she hung up the phone with a smile: "He said he would come in the afternoon." ”

"Well, it is estimated that the lithography machine has passed the acceptance. Su Yuanshan thought about it mentally, stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaohui, if we don't make a bet, I bet that Lao Zheng came to me to discuss the next topic." ”

Zhou Xiaohui pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't gamble." ”

The whole company knows that Su Yuanshan will come to a sentence at every turn, do you want to gamble?

But in reality, he didn't even play poker.

......

After lunch, Su Yuanshan did not take a break as usual, but wrote and drew in his notebook.

Since he could guess that Zheng Zhenchuan was here to discuss the topic with him, he had to make preparations in advance.

In my memory, the next lithography machine project of Chengguang Institute was completed in 97 years and the 0.8~1 micron node was overcome.

It stands to reason that it would be good to get it out in four years under the conditions of being blocked. However, at that time, the world's mainstream lithography machine light sources had entered the field of DUV deep ultraviolet light sources, and the process had also entered the 0.25 micron node, and the 0.18 micron process node based on the ARF193 nanometer light source was being conquered.

At the same time, the EUV extreme ultraviolet alliance has also been established in the west, and the long-term goal is set at 10 nanometers.

In contrast, the lithography machine that is still using mercury lamp G-ray light source in China has been desperately backward in terms of technology and prospects, so that in the next 15 years, the domestic lithography machine has never been mentioned.

But Su Yuanshan knows that ARF193+ immersion can be used until 2020!

The finished lithography machine is now at the 1.5 micron node, three to four generations behind the state-of-the-art. If we continue to follow the original pace, it will take more than ten years to catch up.

So Su Yuanshan decided to persuade Zheng Zhenchuan to abandon the visible light no matter what.

And if you want to engage in light sources, you have to pull up the Chengguang Institute and its father, the Changguang Institute.

(Probably right when I wrote it from memory...... Go back and check again, I'll fix the problem if there's a problem)
