The Goddess Shines on America

Intel's reputation is well-known all over the world. As the first company in the world to launch a computer microprocessor, it has always been the world's largest manufacturer of personal computer components and CPUs. Since its establishment in 1968 and the launch of a CPU in 1971, although it has only been nearly two decades, based on the short and efficient development speed of the entire industry, it has become a senior enterprise with a market value of tens of billions.

Today, its headquarters is located in Silicon Valley like other IT companies, ushering in a very important day.

The general meeting of shareholders was held on time. At this time, the spacious meeting room was filled with seventeen men with different expressions.

The time has diverged five minutes from the scheduled point, but the three most important people still haven't arrived.

As a typical technology-oriented enterprise, "Fairchild Semiconductor Company", founded by six people, has undergone a name change, and after a total of 20 years of development, a large number of the best technical personnel have been promoted to the shareholder level. Geniuses are unruly, but at this time, when they were waiting for the late newcomer, none of them even complained, they just waited quietly.

Finally, when the time of being late reached ten minutes, the half-open door was immediately pushed open.

"Sorry, we're late." Chairman Gordon Moore strode into the room and immediately walked to the chief seat; followed by Intel's new CEO Andy Grove, the fifty-year-old The old man has standard Jewish blood, but he is not the focus of attention at all.

"Let me introduce," so when the third person walked into the room, Moore hardly had to speak personally, and the people in the room already showed knowing smiles: "Our company's new major shareholder, Cisco's Alice-King!"

"Good morning, everyone." She wore a cardigan jacket on her upper body, a knee-length skirt on her lower body, and a pair of dark high heels that matched her age perfectly. Alice walked to the conference table and said to everyone: "I believe you all know me. I'm sorry. I was late just now. The highways in Santa Clara Valley seem to be extremely congested today."

"It's an honor to meet you, Ms. Alice." The second man from the left of the shareholder seat stood up, shook hands with Alice, and said, "Robert Noyce, director of the technical department, you are really a magical girl."

Looking at the man who was over 60 years old in front of her, Alice raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise and said, "One of the eight traitors of Fairchild Semiconductor Company and one of the founders of Intel Corporation, I should be honored to meet you." , Mr. Noyce."

"Oh, I'm not surprised that you know my identity." Noyce smiled and said, "Although it has been many years since Fairchild happened, I guess your parents didn't know each other at that time, but luckily we still have books Don’t you think so?” As he spoke, the already gray-haired old man winked childishly at Alice.

When Alice replied with a smile, Moore said loudly, "Sit down first. The same goes for self-introduction. What's the point of standing in front of the table? Alice, please sit down first."

Before the arrival of the three, the three chairs that had been vacant immediately ushered in their owners. The chief is of course chairman Gordon Moore, and the seat on the right is Andy Grove, who was the CEO at the time. Afterwards, Alice calmly sat on the seat on the left under the eyes of everyone with great interest. One place higher than Neuss.

"Well, everyone must know what the main content of this shareholders' meeting is." The host of the meeting, Moore said: "At the end of last year, Alice invested a total of 400 million U.S. dollars in our company and successfully won the board of directors. We have obtained an extremely important position. Everyone, let us once again welcome Alice's arrival!"

There was a burst of rumbling applause, not too enthusiastic, but not that embarrassingly unfamiliar, because the expressions of everyone could not help but show a sense of apprehension. Looking at this group of colleagues who are basically promoted from key employees to the board of directors, Alice already has some ideas in her heart.

"It's just a fluke," Alice said when the applause fell, "After all, last year's stock market crash had a big impact on Nasdaq. In normal life, my 400 million yuan would not be able to buy so many shares in the company. To be honest, I never imagined that I would become the third largest shareholder of the company with this amount, it was just a fluke, a fluke."

In this regard, the director of the marketing department sitting diagonally across from Alice, and the man whose table said "Hassan Sabako" said: "This is not a fluke, Miss Alice, this is a stock market disaster. Most people sell their own It’s too late for stocks, how many people dare to reverse investment at this time? Fortune always goes to the person who dares to take risks, and you are at this age, so don’t be too humble.”

Alice looked at Sabako with some surprise: "Director of the Marketing Department... Seeing that you are just 40 years old now, where did you get a high school before?"

"Wall Street, that's right Miss Alice, it's Wall Street." Sabako said with a hearty smile, "I've seen too many risky behaviors there, not to mention that you just happened to be short-selling stocks! To tell you the truth, last year When the company's stock price plummeted, I couldn't help but sell a lot of the shares in my hand, and the result is good, I'm afraid you bought back all the shares that we all sold, right?"

Alice smiled modestly again, but it didn't mean that the other shareholders would let this beautiful girl go. For a while, there were bursts of chatter and laughter.

Of course, this is really why they don't do it. The vast majority of Intel's stock is held in the hands of retail investors. Except for one or two independent directors who don't care about world affairs, the core shareholders are basically the company's own executives, and the amount of stock on hand is of course impossible to be high. At that time, Intel's market value was as high as tens of billions, and it ranked third among all employees with 400 million yuan in one go. It was a big deal on weekdays, let alone during the stock market crash with extremely high risks?

"So," Gordon Moore said after the routine welcome ended, "you all know who Alice is and what she is capable of, and I also believe that she chose to join Intel not just to sit back and enjoy the dividends. So let's all hear what Alice has to say, Alice?"

"Okay, thank you Gordon." Alice took over the leadership of the meeting and did not speak immediately. Instead, she looked around and saw that everyone's attention was focused on herself instead of staring at her. After touching his chest, he began to speak.

"I won't talk nonsense. You know a lot about the development model of the computer industry. Of course I am not a rookie. We are all elites, so I will go straight to the point."

The beginning of the article is a capable speech, she said: "My strength lies in programming, you all know this. You all know what the working process of the CPU is. The CPU fetches instructions from the memory or cache memory, puts them into the instruction register, And decode the instruction. It decomposes the instruction into a series of micro-operations, and then issues various control commands and executes the series of micro-operations to complete the execution of an instruction."

"I am good at programming, and I dare not tell you the specific data now, but what I can assure you is that, let me make a move. The company's existing CPU can improve at least one-third of the operating speed under the premise that the basic process remains the same. efficiency!"

One-third, this is an extremely astonishing figure.

Therefore, as the technical director, Noyce couldn't help lowering his glasses: "I believe Alice can have this kind of ability. Programming is a physical job, but also a mental job. Geniuses always exist. But Alice, The one-third you mentioned, do you mean the improvement of one-third on the basis of 'the existing performance of existing products'?"

The question he raised was on point, Alice's eyebrows trembled slightly, and she immediately recognized it.

"That's right, Noyce, it's not about developing any new model, but just give me a CPU, as long as it doesn't use the calculation code I provided, I can definitely increase its efficiency by one-third."

The correct and confident answer made everyone present look at each other in blank dismay. Although everyone restrained their thoughts of expressing doubts, and didn't even say a word, doubts were clearly displayed on their faces and presented in front of Alice.

"Of course, of course," of course, Alice could see the effect of her words, she said: "Practice proves everything. You are all people who have studied CPU for many years. When you hear me say that, it is hard to accept. It's normal. Regarding this point, we can just wait and see, now it's morning, at worst, in the afternoon, Noyce will lead me to the technical department and show you off."

"No problem," Noyce said with a wry smile, "If you really have the ability, I can give you the position of director of the technical department, or it's like your situation at Microsoft... Hey, Moore, how about giving it to me?" Alice's title as a technical consultant? You don't really want her to take my position, do you?"

"I have no problem, Robert, and I want you to bet that Alice won't be interested in your busy position." Gordon Moore smiled heartily, and then said: "Of course, everyone, Alice Joining our company for the first time is not only to improve the performance of the company, as the boss of Cisco, she also has a very special ambition."

In a word, Moore easily aroused the interest of everyone at the scene. Everyone knows that Alice is a girl genius who is very good at computer technology, such a person suddenly has some "special ambition", what could happen?

"According to Alice's proposal," Moore said, "Intel will find an address in the UK to build a computer laboratory with a high investment scale. Alice herself will provide a considerable amount of financial support and a lot of talents. So guys , This is the second matter of our meeting, to build a laboratory in the UK!"

I recommend it again, Mingfeng Tianxia is indeed a very awesome novel about the ever-changing queen fighting for hegemony in other worlds~
