Chapter 181 Intel is very upset
Intel Park, Andy Grove's office.
Unlike many tech giants in Silicon Valley, Andy's office is much cleaner, not like an office owned by a technology person, and has a somewhat similar style to a sales company boss.
Well, he is a Jew.
At the same time, he is also a professor at Stanford University's Business School.
In the 1980s, when Intel resisted the invasion of the Niguo semiconductor industry, Andy called on Intel to work overtime for 2 hours on its own - the so-called 120% solution.
Andy Grove is exactly 57 years old this year - although he once said that he would retire until he was 57 years old, when he really came, he was young and strong, and just led Intel to stand at the top of desktop processors, how could he retire?
Therefore, it is difficult for Su Yuanshan to connect the old man who was quite angry and powerful in front of him with the old man who retreated to the second line and even kind in his memory.
Just in a moment of striking his mind, Su Yuanshan regained his composure and stretched out his hand to Andy from a distance.
Andy stood up from behind the desk, shook hands with Su Yuanshan and led him into the reception area.
"Mr. Grove, are you in good health recently?"
Su Yuanshan smiled and started the conversation with an oriental homely routine.
But Andy obviously didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, and was a little surprised for a moment.
"When we meet a respected elder, we usually greet each other's health and express our concern and blessings." Su Yuanshan explained.
Andy Grove laughed after being stunned and replied in a strong Hungarian accent: "Thank you for your concern, I'm in good health."
Su Yuanshan smiled and chatted with Andy for a few casual words, and he began to get to the point.
"Mr. Grove, it's an honor for you to take the time to have this meeting."
"That's because you haven't invited me." Andy Grove looked at Su Yuanshan and changed into a relaxed position.
Of course, he understood Xinghai and Yuanxin, and also knew that this young man had the title of genius.
Like all people who work in technology, he also likes genius.
But he is different from Robert Noyce. He will not lose his principles just because of the genius or who is outstanding.
From the moment Su Yuanshan entered the door, he was sure that this young man would be Intel's enemy.
Not called an opponent because the opponent respects the enemy with equal strength. The enemy is just the object that needs to be eliminated.
"We were not invited because we were too weak compared to Intel." Su Yuanshan was very frank: "I'm afraid you reject me... I'll be very hit."
Andy Grove smiled again.
Very interesting young man.
"Can I understand that you are already strong enough now? For example, Yuanxin in the East and the Star Sea in Silicon Valley. These are miraculously rising companies that no one can ignore." Andy Grove stared at Su Yuanshan.
Su Yuanshan shook his head: "No, it's because something prompted me to come to you."
Andy raised her head to Su Yuanshan: "You said."
"In order to better promote the advancement of external bus technology, a genius programmer came up with a brilliant idea - to create a high-speed, universal, plug-and-play, scalable serial bus that can be plugged and unplugged without shutting down."
“Technically…it’s not difficult to implement, it only requires support from the operating system and chipset.”
"For example, we can build a dedicated port..."
Listening to Su Yuanshan’s large list of technical standards and even ideas, Andy Grove’s eyebrows immediately raised!
Like all the bosses with relevant technical reserves? When I heard this idea, Andy Grove immediately realized that this bus can solve many problems in the current development of computers.
But he then realized that such a technology should not be proposed by Yuanxin or Xinghai. Instead, it should be proposed by Intel!
From having to give up the memory business and focus on CPUs to now? Andy Grove has almost worked hard to get Intel to the top of the chip industry. He knows more than anyone that to maintain Intel’s throne? Intel should be led by Intel and lead all technologies!
At this point, Andy's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Su Yuanshan looked at him without showing any weakness, but his eyes were much gentler and his face was always smiling.
"I refuse." Andy said in a deep voice.
"You can't refuse." Su Yuanshan whispered.
Andy's eyebrows were raised like a knife, and the corners of his mouth were also hung with a smile.
Can't refuse?
"Countless computer users don't want you to refuse." Su Yuanshan said again: "The reason why I lobby everywhere? Establish this usb organization? I hope to start from the field of purely promoting technological progress."
Su Yuanshan said, and suddenly smiled: "Mr. Grove, this bus is not Yuanxin's position to challenge Intel. Its opponent is firewire..."
When he heard the word firewire, Andy's gaze froze.
firewire? It was proposed by Apple in the 1980s and is said to be about to be positioned as an industrial standard by the International Association of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (ieee).
Grove once again saw the young man in front of him.
His mouth curled slightly: "Just for the needs of users?"
Su Yuanshan nodded: "Of course? And I also think it should not charge equipment patent fees to promote the popularization and promotion of various application equipment."
After a moment of silence? Andy Grove let out a soft sigh: "You have obtained Microsoft's support?"
"Yes, but Mr. Gates respects your opinion very much."
"Then I agree." Andy nodded quickly.
"Thank you." Su Yuanshan stretched out his hand: "Thank you for taking the time."
When he saw Su Yuanshan, he was about to say goodbye? Andy blinked? He asked curiously: "You just ask about the settlement of our lawsuit with Xinghai?"
"Because your decision will not be disturbed by other factors - even if I ask for your complete authorization of Xinghai? You will not agree." Su Yuanshan said with a smile.
Andy smiled and his evaluation of this young man was a little higher in his heart.
Because Robert Noyce was soft-hearted at the time and let go of Amd's "learnings of the past", Andy now hates those counterfeit parties. If they can be solved with the legal stick, they will directly take legal means.
No one is useless to plead with love, and never be ruthless!
Moreover, after Cyrix was acquired by Xinghai, he refused to restrain himself, but instead recruited troops... This made him smell a very bad breath.
But he also had to refuse to admit that reconciliation with Xinghai was still imperative.
Now Cyrix has been following the low-end route in the east, and almost few countries there have joined trade agreements and cannot use judicial channels. The longer the lawsuit is, the more variables there will be.
However, seeing that a promising technology company is about to become its opponent, Andy Grove still feels very unhappy.
