Chapter 170 It feels so good to point fingers

Thirty million US dollars, two chips, priced at 15 million each, which is already the highest in history. In terms of price, this is very expensive.

But obviously the big guys' perspective on the problem is not so superficial, because from an intelligence perspective, these two chips can also be priceless, so someone quickly gave their opinions.

"So what are you waiting for? I hope to see these two chips as soon as possible. If everyone is not interested in these chips, the money can be paid by Intel alone. Of course, we will share the final report with the alliance

."

Pat Gelsinger, the wealthy Intel president, gave his opinion directly.

Of course, Intel is definitely not the only one with the deepest pockets in the alliance. In fact, if it really has more money, Intel may not even be as good as Google. It’s just that everyone’s main business is different. But it’s normal for Intel to be more anxious than Google.

of.

After all, Intel's heavy assets are concentrated in wafer fabs. As one of the few companies in the world that has a complete industrial chain in the field of chip design and manufacturing, Intel naturally pays more attention to new chip technology than Google.

Of course, it's not just Intel that's paying attention.

Representatives of Samsung Group, both IDM companies, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, a well-known semiconductor foundry, also expressed their stance almost at the same time.

"Since the alliance is a whole, on behalf of Samsung, I hope to get these two chips in the name of the alliance."

"Yes, we should get this information as soon as possible."

Sundar Pichai, who had been silent after the explanation, said: "Okay, friends, I put this issue for discussion here, of course, not just because Mr. Mountbatten offered 30 million US dollars. In fact, he

There is one more condition.

If you decide to purchase these two chips at this price, then the CEOs, presidents, and chairmen of all companies in the alliance will need to publish a paragraph on the public network first advising the citizens of the company’s location to eat more vegetables and less meat, or even just

The promotional video for eating vegetables instead of meat must contain a sentence saying goodbye to meat, eggs and milk, and live happily every day.

Moreover, the alliance must spend no less than 10 million US dollars or corresponding resources to carry out large-scale advertising promotion of all these videos on major social platforms and websites. Of course, if promoted on Google, we do not need to charge this advertising

The fee is paid as public service advertising. Of course, the good news is that we should be able to make these videos quickly decrease in popularity after a short period of fermentation."

When Sundar Pichai finished speaking, the video conference room suddenly became quiet.

Everyone finally understood the reason why Google did not directly acquire these two chips. It was not a question of money at all...

The big bosses of all the companies in the alliance have different personalities. Some like to appear in the media frequently, while others never like to appear in the spotlight and quietly work as bosses behind the scenes. Moreover, there are more than fifty companies in the alliance, and all CEOs and presidents are required to follow them.

The chairman has specially recorded videos, which is somewhat excessive.

Everyone was silent. After a long time, Huang Wenhuang finally spoke: "What does he mean? Is this Mr. Mountbatten crazy?"

Sundar Pichai answered: "Nissan Mountbatten explained everything sincerely. Don't take your anger out on him. Because he was also entrusted by others. As for who it is, I think everyone knows. He also specifically said

, the attitude that person wanted to express was that it feels good to be able to teach others how to do things, he likes it very much, and hopes that we can get used to it."

This is probably shouting from a distance.

These words also caused another period of silence in the conference room.

The moods of all the big guys are probably extremely complicated.

I want to say something, but I don't know what to say.

After a while, Huang Wenhuang said: "So what if we reject this deal?"

Sundar Pichai replied: "He said it doesn't matter. Anyway, there will be many opportunities in the future. I believe there will always be a chance for us to happily agree to this condition. Of course, Nissen Mountbatten repeatedly stated that this sentence was also said on behalf of that person.

.In addition, the other party asked him to tell us that if we rejected this transaction, he would have a hundred ways to let the public know the truth before us. He felt that this was not a good idea.

The technological generation gap is not something that is easy to accept. Especially within the alliance, there may be disagreements at this time. This requires individual consideration. He very much welcomes those who have a need for this technology.

The company went to the National Sports University to discuss cooperation plans. I know that everyone doesn’t want to hear this news on this occasion, but I think it needs to be said now, because even if I don’t say it, he will still have channels to let everyone know.”

Sundar Pichai spread his hands. This Indian-American understands business struggles.

Rather than letting someone contact each other privately, it would be better for everyone to spread the word. This might allow the alliance to exist longer.

After all, Google is different from other companies. It makes chips to lay out the future. It is not too heavy on asset layout. Not to mention that for now, Google's main revenue is still advertising, and the semiconductor field is still in the investment stage. Turn

It can be said to be very flexible, so Sundar Pichai hopes that the alliance can last longer.

But for the EDA software providers in the alliance, the equipment manufacturers in the upper reaches of the industry chain, as well as asset-heavy DMI companies like Intel and Samsung, and asset-heavy and low-profit OEMs, they are probably the most urgent to understand the real situation.

Then formulate appropriate strategies.

The basis for the existence of the alliance is that everyone can have common long-term interests. The so-called unity can at least draw a big pie that everyone agrees on. When this pie no longer exists, the disintegration of the alliance is probably not far away.

There's nothing more to say.

As the first spokesperson in the alliance, Huang Wenhuang said simply after everyone was silent: "Then, let's start voting now. If you agree with this deal and get these two chips as soon as possible, please raise your hands."

He himself did not raise his hand, but it is obvious that his opinion does not represent the mainstream opinion within the league.

It's nothing more than a few words of advice in public. Although it feels a little PUA, considering the importance of the intelligence of these two chips, it is not unacceptable to express some opinions publicly. Although there are no such big guys.

There are a few real vegetarians, but they just call on others to eat more vegetarian food. What does that have to do with them?

"Okay, then the money will be paid by the alliance. After getting the chip, members of the alliance can send their own scientists to study the two chips. The final report can be freely reviewed by the alliance. With that Nissen Mountbatten

I’ll leave the contact matters to you, Mr. Pichai.”

Sundar Pichai nodded casually, of course he knew that Huang Wenhuang must not be satisfied with him.

After all, he didn't communicate with the so-called alliance talker in advance, but who cares?

Perhaps it proves that this chip technology can really represent the future. Whether this semiconductor alliance can still exist is a question.

"Well, today's meeting ends here. But I believe we will be able to prove everything soon."

…

Just when the big guys reached a consensus, classmate Lu Xiaoya also made a choice.

"For the first question, choose 37!" Although Lu Xiaoya said confidently, the answer was actually misleading.

There was no way, even though Lu Xiaoya was very confident in solving quadratic equations, she wanted to know why there was a K in the second equation question? She had never seen this type of question before, and when she wanted to start solving it,

I just feel like I have no idea where to start.

So the first multiple-choice question is easier.

After all, it is about the fifth grade of elementary school, and among the three numbers 36, 37, and 38, 37 is obviously the most similar. Because if you choose 37, the first three numbers are 33, 34, and 35, and the last three numbers are 35, 37, and 39.

, Lu Xiaoya felt that it was very neat to see it this way, and she even felt that it was quite smart for a fifth-grade primary school student to be able to see this pattern.

"Are you sure?" Ning Zi asked without any expression.

"Don't try to fool me in this way, making me think I might be wrong, and then change the answer. It's 37, very...certain...and...certain!" Lu Xiaoya stared at Ning Zi and used the extension

Yin answered, hoping to see the answer from Ning Zi's expression. If she saw this guy starting to feel proud, she planned to change her answer.

It's a pity that Ning Zi had no expression from beginning to end, no pride, no happiness, not even a trace of smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Very good, you... gave the wrong answer." Only then did Lu Xiaoya see the corners of Ning Zi's mouth finally rising.

"Wrong answer? How is it possible?" Lu Xiaoya said in surprise.

"In fact, the answer is wrong. If you don't believe it, you can contact a primary school teacher. If you don't have a friend who is a math teacher, you can also send this question to your mother and ask her to ask. This question

The answer to the question should be 38. I reminded you that this question tests the content of fifth grade primary school mathematics."

"38? Why? What is the content of the test?"

"Decompose the prime factors. From 33 to 39, this sequence obviously satisfies monotonically increasing, so I won't go into that. So the answer can only be chosen among three numbers: 36, 37, and 38, of which 33 can be written as 3 times 11

, 34 is 2 times 17, 35 is 5 times 7, 39 is 3 times 13. Here, the four numbers 33, 34, 35, and 39 can and can only be written in the form of the product of two prime numbers, so they

They are all semi-prime numbers.

Now let’s look at the answer. 37 itself is a prime number, so it is eliminated first. Looking at 36, it can be written as 2X2X3X3, which is obviously not the product of two prime numbers, so it is not the correct answer. 38 can be written as 2 times 19. Obviously

2 and 19 are both prime numbers, so 38 is also a semi-prime number.

As long as you have clearly memorized the concepts of prime numbers and semi-primes in the fifth grade of elementary school, you can solve this problem in 10 seconds. Of course, if you have memorized at least twenty semi-primes in the fifth grade of elementary school, you can solve it in about one second.

to get the correct answer.”

Lu Xiaoya, who was searching with her cell phone and trying to prove that this was not elementary school content at all, was devastated.

Because it turned out that these seemed to be the content of elementary school, and she actually saw similar questions on the elementary school exam questions, and she felt very complicated.

Classmate Lu Xiaoya couldn't accept the fact that she couldn't even solve elementary school math problems. Let alone that the result was so simple.

"As for the second question, the answer is k=-7/11, or the conditions are met on 7/19. Do you need me to help you write down the solution process?"

"No, I suspect you look down on my IQ." Lu Xiaoya said viciously.

This question made Ning Zi silent for a long time, and then he replied seriously: "Don't think so... If you must think so, you may not believe it if you tell me. Dominic often said this during group meetings.

Although I really don’t mean it, sometimes I look down on my own IQ. Okay, let’s not talk about it anymore.”

Ning Zi straightened his body, then looked at Classmate Lu seriously and said, "According to the bet we just made, you have to listen to me tonight. Let's go, leave your phone, and then go to your bedroom first."

"What do you want to do?" Lu Xiaoya looked at Ning Zi warily.

Ning Zi was slightly nervous, but still said seriously: "Today is the first lesson of mathematical analysis. I will teach you the definition of the set of real numbers."

"What is the definition of the set of real numbers? Then why can't you bring a mobile phone?"
