Vol 6 Chapter 242: The most important partner

The lead-grey clouds are so full of the sky that you can’t even see a trace of blue. The drizzle from the clouds will make the lawns and trees on the roadside a little brighter, but it gives others People brought trouble.

On Jianhe, the brave students who used to be brave and brave in the past, wearing raincoats, and trying to avoid the oncoming wind with cold rain, their bodies buckled.

In this kind of weather, the tourists who still insist on visiting are not getting better. They have an umbrella on their heads and an umbrella in front of them. It is estimated that the so-called pleasure of sightseeing will not be enjoyed at all.

Feng Yiping could guess the voice of some of them. The journey he chose was crying or kneeling, and he had to finish it.

Looking at the uncomfortable supporters on the river and the tourists who also couldn't enjoy themselves, Feng Yiping said, "Sure enough, it's when people make mistakes."

"What are you talking about, Feng?" Drucker, who was sitting aside, looked up from the folder.

"I mean, I don't know if Jobs will regret it now because he sold the company's stock," Feng Yiping said.

Drucker buried his head and thought for a while, "At the beginning Jobs should have no choice. I remember, it seems that he was opening to borrow money from Bill Gates?"

"Yes, I have heard of that," Feng Yiping said.

This incident may be one of the things that Jobs was reluctant to mention. After his return to Apple, at the 1997 Apple Product Show in Boston, Jobs, whose title was still Apple's temporary executive officer, flicked Billie. Tsz, and announced to the media, "We must abandon the notion that'For Apple to win, Microsoft must fail',"

When Jobs announced the cooperation between Apple and Microsoft to the world, Bill Gates nodded and smiled behind his back. In addition to supporting Jobs, he also borrowed 100 million US dollars for Apple to use for development.

For Apple, which was already on the brink of bankruptcy at that time, the $100 million was very precious.

However, Feng Yiping can fully imagine that Bill Gates has been very unconvinced before, all kinds of derogation, all kinds of despised Jobs, how torment in his heart when he had to bow his head to borrow money from Bill Gates.

We can probably imagine that if one day Zhou Da Pao borrowed money from Brother Xiao Ma, how frustrated he would be at that time, and we would be able to appreciate Jobs' mood at that time.

On the other hand, Jobs must also know that his so-called cooperation with Microsoft is just a cover. After the money is received, he will still treat Microsoft as the most important opponent, that is, he knows that he has borrowed it. After this money, it will once again have a negative impact on the image of yourself that is not good.

But he still did that. It is conceivable that Apple was short of money and how helpless he was.

Under such circumstances, it was actually a natural choice for him to sell shares of some other companies held by Apple in order to continue Apple's life and raise funds for Apple's development.

"Even if he predicted the situation today, he should and will still sell, but I think he shouldn't foresee today's situation," Drucker said, "After all, no one in this world can have Feng You With such a brilliant vision, Jobs is no exception."

"Haha," Feng Yiping smiled, "You say that, I am really stressed."

In fact, he was smiling bitterly in his heart, so why didn't he make a mistake? I should have visited here when I visited Cambridge last time.

The last time he came to Cambridge, he visited the British search engine, autony, which has a lot of advantages in the field of enterprise search, that is, autonomous companies.

It's just that, because autony founder Mike Lynch asked too much and asked too much, he returned without success.

In fact, it should be at that time, should come to this company in Cambridge, also together with Autony, is known as one of the two high-tech companies in the UK to take a look.

The stocks that Feng Yiping and Drucker mentioned that Jobs sold off were the arm stocks held by Apple at that time.

arm company is currently the world's leading provider of semiconductor intellectual property rights.

Speaking of it, one must mention its parent company.

It is estimated that even people in the UK will not remember the company.

In 1978, in a small alley filled with bird droppings on the ground between Cambridge Gap Company and Spenser Company, a group of people founded a company that produces computers. At that time, they used the 65o2 chip made by mos Company to make computers in the UK. It was not a small success.

Then, the performance of the 65o2 chip gradually failed to keep up with the times, so they wanted to use Intel's 8o286 to open a new computer, but Intel didn't even give a sample of it. Later, Intel hated the people who made this decision.

If Intel’s original managers were more generous, in the mobile Internet era, Intel’s biggest competitor might not be born at all.

Just like when Hastings found Blockbuster, hoping that they would not be humiliated by acquiring the Netflix he founded, they were ruthless. The British, who were irritated by Intel’s contempt and petty, were also ruthless. Since you don’t sell it to We, then we will do our own research.

), this is the world's first risc processor that is positioned in the low-end (not server).

In 1985, arm1 was born (but it was never commercialized). Later, arm2 and arm3 were introduced in 1986 and 199o, respectively, and desktop computers were also introduced in 1987.

However, their luck was not as good as Hastings. As a result of their hard work, they only achieved a certain degree of success in the education market in the United Kingdom. But even this achievement was soon recognized by the inte1 alliance after 199o. The ecology is defeated.

It just so happened that in the nineteenth year, opening a handheld computer became a trend. At that time, Apple’s CEO John Sculley, who drove Jobs away, also had high hopes in this direction. He arranged for Apple to do a research. A tablet that they named neton (Newton).

From this naming, it can be seen that Apple at the time attached great importance to this product, because many Apple people regarded Apple as the one that made Newton's understanding at the beginning, and they are now going to produce a product called " Newton’s tablet

They happened to have an arm chip.

Therefore, in the field of computer sales, Apple, which still competes with the company, spent six weeks to do work before and after it allowed its chip research department to operate independently.

In the end, Apple got its wish. On November 27, 1999, the joint venture arm was formally established. Starting from Apple and v1si (a semiconductor company in the United States), the three of them invested 150,000, 150,000, and 250,000 pounds, respectively.

The intellectual property rights related to the arm processor and 12 employees were also placed in the newly established company.

Since then, the abbreviation of arm was interpreted as instead.

The newly established arm is Apple's neton handheld computer, which researched arm6 processors, but unfortunately, all the handheld computers of that era did not do much, and Apple's neton is no exception.

After a few years of production, it was discontinued. Speaking of it, the later business communication in China is still a very successful product.

In short, arm has survived since then.

Because the chip it developed has low power consumption, it is used by many mobile phone manufacturers. Nokia’s classic generation, 611o, uses an arm processor.

Since then, arm has been open for authorization, and unlike Intel, the business model of self-producing chips has been a great success in the mobile phone market.

Of course, as mentioned in the previous article, Intel also has higher profits because of PC and server chips~www.wuxiaspot.com~, so it has always looked down on the low-profit mobile phone chips, which allowed arm to get a long-term development.

And Feng Yiping, also after acquiring Android, remembered how the arm will look like after the smartphone was released.

We can probably say that if we say that it is dominated by the alliance, then the mobile Internet era after the deployment of smart phones is dominated by the dual-a alliance of Android and arm.

Our mobile phones, my tablets, our smart TVs, our cars, and our other smart home products all have ARM-developed chips behind them.

Therefore, he felt that he was late, and he should stop by the arm when he visited Cambridge last time. If it can be acquired, it would be great.

Of course, it is not too late. At least, he will do better than the original Google. When Google established the Open Mobile Alliance, arm was not even a start-up member.

Besides, in view of the subprime mortgage storm that will intensify in the future, although it was a mistake to act on the arm before the iPhone was released, next year should also be a good window of opportunity.

"Here," Drucker said.

Feng Yiping could see that at the door of the arm company, a thin old man was walking out with some people.
