Chapter 282 School Cooperation
Shen Haipeng looked up at Bai Zirui who came in, and said with a smile: "Classmate, please sit down first. I'll finish correcting this document, and then we'll talk about it!"
Bai Zirui looked at his nose, his nose and his heart, sitting quietly in the reception area with an unconcerned look. Shen Haipeng looked at him for a few times, and saw that he was unhurried and calm. I couldn't help but nod at his calm demeanor.
Shen Haipeng finished correcting a document and put down the pen in his hand. He stretched out his hand to push up his glasses that were sliding down the bridge of his nose. He took a cup of tea and went to the reception area. He put it in front of Bai Zirui and asked, "This classmate, come here." What's wrong with me?"
Bai Zirui said: "Dean Shen, hello! My name is Bai Zirui, and I am an international student from mainland China. I have opened two companies. I have been busy with the company's affairs this semester. I don't have much time to attend classes, which affects my studies. This is unpleasant. It’s time for the final exam! So I came to see you for advice on how to remedy it?”
Shen Haipeng's originally relaxed brows began to frown. No student from Xiangjiang University had ever started a business while studying. He had heard that students from Western European and American universities had started a business during college, but the conflict between company affairs and study time caused delays. I couldn't have my cake and eat it too, so I finally dropped out of school to focus on running the company.
Shen Haipeng said earnestly: "The school does not necessarily object to your starting a business during college, but there is a prerequisite that it cannot affect your studies. You are an international student from the mainland, and you have to cross the single-plank bridge to get into college, so you should study hard Cherish the hard-won opportunity to study, skipping classes is not a good thing!"
Bai Zirui said sincerely: "Dean Shen, what you said is absolutely true! I will pay attention to it in the future and try not to let the time for handling company affairs conflict with school class time."
Shen Haipeng fully recognized Bai Zirui's attitude of admitting his mistakes. He asked curiously: "What is the main business of the company you founded?"
Bai Zirui replied: "I founded two companies, one is First Catering Company, a Western fast food restaurant that makes fried chicken and burgers. There are currently four stores in operation: the main store, our Xiangjiang University branch, and the Wan Chai branch , Taikoo Shing branch.
A few days ago, we rented two more stores in the Ocean Terminal and the Chinese University in Harbor City and are renovating them in preparation for opening after the year. After the year, we plan to open four to five stores in the Kowloon Peninsula, and we will go out of Hong Kong and develop elsewhere."
Shen Haipeng nodded and said: "You opened our school's First Fast Food Restaurant. The fried chicken and burgers taste better than KFC and McDonald's fast food restaurants in the United States. The business is very hot. I have been there several times. You created it What does the other company do?”
Bai Zirui replied: "Another company called Dingtian Technology Company is currently engaged in the arcade game business! A week ago, I personally led the company staff to San Francisco, a beautiful country, to participate in the Western Electronics Show, and we made quite a profit at the electronics show. "
Shen Haipeng asked: "How many arcade games has your company developed?"
Bai Zirui said: "Currently, two games have been developed, namely Great Wall Cube and "Tank Battle"."
Shen Haipeng said in shock: "The Great Wall Cube game that was very popular in Xiangjiang during this period, as well as the "Tank Battle" that was just launched a few days ago, were actually developed by your company.
I heard from one of my beautiful Chinese classmates that a game company from Hong Kong participated in the San Francisco Western Electronics Show. This company's two arcade games shined at the San Francisco Western Electronics Show and won the favor of many agents and signed contracts. There are orders for tens of thousands of units and the order value is hundreds of millions of dollars, but I didn’t expect that this company was actually founded by our students from Xiangjiang University.”
Bai Zirui said modestly: "I just founded this company, and it was all thanks to my colleagues in the R&D department who made huge contributions to the company."
Shen Haipeng looked at the polite Bai Zirui and was filled with emotion. Today I am proud of the school, and tomorrow the school will be proud of me. His current achievements are enough to make Xiangjiang University proud of him.
Bai Zirui said: "Dean Shen, as far as I know, Professor Yao Zhaoming, deputy director of the Computer Science Department of our school, is leading his team to research processor design. Dingtian Technology Company under my name wants to entrust him to help with compatible development The 6502 processor from MOS Technology Co., Ltd., can you help me get to know him?"
After listening to Bai Zirui's words, Shen Haipeng pondered for a moment and said: "Classmate Bai, I am only responsible for the management of international students in our School of Economics and Business Administration. I am not familiar with computers that have just emerged in recent years, but I can introduce you to computer science. Professor Yao Zhaoming of the Department.”
He immediately called Professor Yao Zhaoming and introduced the two of them to each other. Bai Zirui asked him to help develop the 6502 processor of MOS Technology Co., Ltd., and Yao Zhaoming looked at him differently after knowing Bai Zirui's identity.
Yao Zhaoming introduced the basic situation of the 6502 processor of MOS Technology Company in the United States. MOS 6502 is an 8-bit microprocessor (CPU) developed by MOS Technology in 1975.
When MOS 6502 first came out, it was the most powerful CPU at that time, and the price was only one-sixth or even lower than similar products from large manufacturers (such as Intel); and except for Zilog's Z80, MOS 6502 was almost faster than most manufacturers' Similar products inspired a series of computer projects and brought about a personal computer revolution in the 1980s.
In 1976, Steve Wozniak and Jobs worked together to develop the Apple I based on the 6502 chip. A year later, they launched the improved Apple II, also equipped with the 6502.
The Apple II became the first highly successful "personal computer" in history, largely due to the relatively low price of the 6502. Subsequent variants of the Apple II were sold into the 1990s, and the chips used were also It has always been a derivative of 6502.
MOS 6502 is not only used as the Apple computer chip processor, but also the CPU of the Nintendo Famicom. Nintendo did not directly purchase the original chip from MOS Technology Company at that time, but used the 6502 chip authorized by the Japanese Ricoh Company - RP2C02 processing device.
This is a processor redesigned and developed by Ricoh based on the original 6502 core. A pseudo-sound processing module is integrated into the chip, which can eliminate the need for additional sound effects chips when used as a game console CPU.
Bai Zirui knew that Nintendo's Famicom was launched in 1983, but it was not clear when Ricoh was authorized by mmOS to produce its own 6502 chip.
After Bai Zirui learned that Deans had obtained the authorization for the 6502 chip, he decided to use Deans' chips, so he went to Japan to ask Deans to manufacture arcade motherboards for his company.
Bai Zirui has asked Meng Jianhua to discuss matters related to the authorization of the 6502 chip with MOS Technology Company in the United States. Once the authorization is obtained, Bai Zirui will find someone to develop a chip.
Developing a processor chip is very complicated. Even with the original structure of the 6502 processor as a reference, redesigning a 6502 suitable for arcade applications is not an easy task. His company has no talents in this field.
