Chapter 370: , 2 proposals

One second to remember 【】, to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

Intel has a worldwide reputation. As the world's first company to introduce computer microprocessors, it has always been the world's largest manufacturer of personal computer parts 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 an advanced enterprise with a market value of tens of billions.

Today, its headquarters is also located in Silicon Valley like other IT companies, and it has ushered in a very important day.

The shareholders meeting was held on time. At this time, the spacious meeting room was filled with 17 men with different expressions.

The time was five minutes away from the scheduled point, but the three most important people still did not arrive.

As a typical technology-oriented company, the "Fairchild Semiconductor Company" founded by six people that year has undergone a name change, and after a total of 20 years of development, it has upgraded a large number of the best technical personnel to the shareholder level. Geniuses are all rebellious, but at this time, when they were waiting for the late newcomer, no one even complained, just waiting quietly.

Finally, when the tardiness had accumulated to ten minutes, the door of the half-open house was immediately pushed open.

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

"Let me introduce it." So, when a third person walks into the house, it is almost unnecessary for Moore to speak in person. The people in the house are already showing knowing smiles: "Our company’s new major shareholder, Cisco’s Alice-king!"

"Good morning everybody." She wore a cardigan jacket on her upper body, a short knee-length skirt on her lower body, and a pair of dark high heels that matched the age schedule 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 Santa Clara Valley highway seems to be extremely congested today."

"It's an honor to meet you, Miss Alice." The second man in the shareholder's seat stood up and shook hands with Alice: "Robert Noyce, Director of the Technical Department, you are such a magical girl."

Looking at the man who was over 60 in front of her, Alice raised her eyebrows in a little surprise and said: "One of Fairchild Semiconductor’s eight rebels back then, one of the founders of Intel Corporation, I should be honored to meet you. , Mr. Noyce."

"Oh, I'm not surprised that you know who I am." Noyce smiled and said, "Although the Fairy Boy incident has passed for many years, I guess your parents didn't even know it at the time, but fortunately we still have books. Hall, don't you think?" As he said, the already gray-haired old man winked at Alice childishly.

When Alice was smiling and replying something, Moore said loudly: "Sit down first, and introduce yourself. What does it mean to stand at the table? Alice, please sit down first."

Before the three arrived, the three chairs that had been free immediately welcomed their owners. The chief is of course Chairman Gordon Moore, and the first seat on the right is the then CEO Andy Grove. Then, under the gaze of everyone’s interest, Alice calmly took the first seat on the left. One place higher than Noyce.

"So, I must all know what the main content of this meeting of shareholders is." The host of the meeting, Moore said: "At the end of last year, Alice invested a total of 400 million US dollars in our company and successfully joined the board of directors. Achieved an extremely important position. Everyone, let us once again welcome Alice's arrival!"

A burst of applause immediately sounded, not too enthusiastic, but there was also no embarrassing strangeness, just because everyone's expressions inevitably carried a clear sense of anxiety. Seeing this group of colleagues who were basically promoted from key employees to the board of directors, Alice already had some spectrum in her heart.

"It's just a fluke," Alice said when the applause fell: "After all, the stock market crash last year had a lot of impact on Nasdaq. If it were in normal days, my 400 million yuan would not be able to buy so many shares of the company. To be honest, I didn't expect at the time that I would actually rely on this amount to become the third largest shareholder of the company. It was a fluke, a fluke."

In response, the director of marketing sitting diagonally across from Alice, the man who stated "Hassan Sabak" on the table said: "This is not a fluke, Miss Alice, this is a stock market disaster. Most people sell their own. The stocks are too late, so how many people dare to invest in reverse at this time? Wealth always goes to the most adventurous people. Your age is here again. Don’t be too humble."

Alice looked at Sabako somewhat unexpectedly: "Director of the marketing department...Look at how you are now in your forties. Where did you go before?"

"Wall Street, yes, Miss Alice, it is Wall Street." Sabak smiled heartily: "I have seen too many risky behaviors there. Besides, you happen 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 shares in my hands. The result was good. I was afraid that you bought back all the shares we were sitting on, right?"

Alice laughed modestly again, but that doesn't mean that other shareholders will let this beautiful girl go. For a while, all the voices of talking and laughing rang out.

Of course, this can't help but they don't do it. Most of Intel’s stocks are held in retail hands. Except for one or two independent directors who don’t look out for business all day long, the core shareholders are basically the company’s own executives. Of course, the stock quota on hand cannot be high. At that time, Intel's market value was as high as tens of billions, ranking third among all employees with 400 million yuan in one effort. It was a big deal on weekdays, let alone during the extremely risky stock market crash?

"So," Gordon Moore said when the routine welcome ended: "You all know who Alice is and what she has, I also believe that she chose to join Intel not just to enjoy the dividend. So let us 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 patrolled the surroundings. When she saw that everyone in the room was focused on herself, instead of staring at her. Only after his **** did he begin to speak.

"I won't say more 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 went straight to the topic."

The beginning of the article was a capable speech. She preached: "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 and puts them into the instruction register. It decodes the instructions. It decomposes the instructions 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 say specific data now, but what I can assure you is that, let me do it, the company's existing CPU can increase the operation by at least one-third on the premise that the basic technology remains unchanged. effectiveness!"

One-third, this is an extremely alarming number.

Therefore, Noyce, as the technical director, couldn’t help lowering his glasses: “I believe that Alice can have this kind of ability. Programming is a physical work, but also a mental work. Genius has always existed. But Alice, Do you mean that this one-third is an increase of one-third on the basis of the existing performance of the existing product?"

The question he asked was very close, and Alice's eyebrows trembled slightly, and she recognized it immediately.

"Yes, Noyce, you don't develop a new model, but you just give me a CPU. As long as it doesn't use the calculation code I provided, it will definitely be improved by a third of my efficiency."

The rounded and confident answer made everyone present could not help but look at each other. Although everyone restrained their thoughts of expressing doubts, and didn't even say a word, the doubts were visibly placed 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 has proved everything. You are all people who have studied CPU for many years. When I heard me say this, it was difficult to accept it. Normal. Regarding this point, let's just walk around and see. It's the morning, but in the afternoon ~www.readwn.com~, Neuss will lead me to the technical department and show you a hand. "

"No problem," Noyce smiled bitterly. "If you really have this ability, it's okay for me to give you the position of director of the technical department, or just like your situation at Microsoft...Hey, Moore, or not. Alice's title as a technical consultant? You don't really want her to take my place, do you?"

"I'm fine, Robert, and I want you to bet that Alice will not be interested in your busy position." Gordon Moore smiled heartily, and then said: "Of course, everyone, Alice here. Joining our company this time is not only to improve the company's performance, as the boss of Cisco, she also has a very special ambition."

In a word of ease, Moore simply aroused the interest of all the members of the scene. Everyone knows that Alice is a girl genius who knows computer technology very well. What kind of "special ambitions" does such a person suddenly have, and what will happen?

"According to Alice's proposal," Moore said: "Intel will look for 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 talent. So guys. , This is the second thing we have in this meeting, to build a laboratory in the UK!"
