Vol 2 Chapter 571: "Star Wars" Project

Chapter 571 "Star Wars" Project

Luerz wants to introduce a new CPU performance standard, and it is not without reason. Nowadays, "intel" is pursuing high frequency blindly. It has just launched the "Pentium 4" with a frequency of 3.06g, which has grabbed the attention of all users in one fell swoop and has become the king of performance without any dispute. And threatened to launch a 10g frequency cpu at the end of 2002, leaving "amd" far behind.

However, "amd" is trapped by different architectures, and it is impossible to follow "intel" to blindly introduce higher frequency cpu, not to mention that it is not only high frequency that represents cpu performance. On the contrary, the higher the main frequency, the greater the power consumption and heat consumption. The propaganda of the concept of "intel", in Luerz's view, is to fool consumers. However, the strength of "intel" has made all consumers agree with the theory of "intle" that the higher the frequency, the faster the speed.

In order to break this "monopoly" and to turn passive into active, Luerz decided to launch a new cpu performance evaluation standard, this new standard is the upcoming tpi (trueperformaiative, true performance standard) concept.

The performance of the cpu is the result of the multiplication of two factors: one is the familiar frequency, and the other is the ipc value of the cpu. The ipc value refers to the number of instructions running in a clock cycle (the more running instructions in the same clock cycle, the better the performance), the real performance of the cpu is multiplied by the ipc value and the frequency. Among them, the ipc value is more important than the frequency. For processors with the same frequency, cpu with higher ipc value is more excellent.

This is why the Pentium of the same frequency is more expensive than the Celeron. Even if the "Celeron" is desperately overclocking, unless it exceeds the frequency of the "Pentium" several times, otherwise the performance will not exceed the "Pentium", and it will bring higher heat and electricity bills.

Lin Feng didn't feel bad about Luerz's proposal. But there are two problems. First, compared to the ipc index, the frequency is undoubtedly more intuitive and easier for ordinary consumers to understand; second, the "amd" used the "athlonxp" cpu for evaluation, but the wrong evaluation object was found. , I was actually looking for a financial company in the United States - Arthur Andersen Company to supervise, but then Arthur Andersen Company went bankrupt due to reputation problems and caused a scandal. This directly affected the results of this evaluation of "amd".

Of course, this kind of evaluation is not completely useless. In the end, after “amd” has spent a lot of effort, the industry finally realized the importance of ipc value. The kernel is the logo. Only then did the later "Core" and other CPUs.

"Luerz, since we want to introduce a new standard, we must let people all over the world know what the ipc value is, and we must use the most simple and understandable language for all consumers to understand." Lin Feng said.

Luerz listened, and after a short pause, he immediately understood Lin Feng's meaning. It was a bit shocking on the spot. If it weren't for Lin Feng's reminder, I'm afraid he might not be able to please him in the end. After all, it is impossible for consumers to understand what the ipc value is, as long as they understand what cpu is good.

"Also, are you going to take the cpu to Arthur Andersen Company to supervise and test, right? I propose to change to another company. There are many trustworthy and impartial institutions around the world, and it is unnecessary to find Arthur Andersen Company." Lin Feng said.

"Uh..., boss, how did you know that I was looking for Arthur Andersen Company?" Ruelz was taken aback. This was just his idea. He hadn't told anyone how Lin Feng knew.

Lin Feng was slightly stunned, his eyes rolled.

"If I don't even know this, how can I be the chairman of a listed company with a market value of 70 billion US dollars." Lin Feng said with a mysterious smile.

Ruelz was shocked and secretly stunned. Although he did not know how Lin Feng knew about it, it also reminded him again that the young chairman in front of him is definitely not a good one, and he cannot think that he wants to deceive him when he is young. As for the rest of the people, they were accustomed to Lin Feng's "foresight" for a long time, and they were not surprised.

"Understood, boss, I will change to another company for notarization." There was a sense of awe on Luerz's face.

Lin Feng smiled. Unexpectedly, this kind of effect can be received. It seems that such "mysterious incidents" will be repeated several times. Isn’t it often said that being a high-level person should be a little more mysterious, so that the people below can’t guess it, and will be in awe of them, and dare not deceive or conceal it.

"Boss, our ati development department is preparing to launch the ‘radeon-9000’ series of graphics cards against ‘nvidia’’s ‘mx440’ series." He Guoyuan said confidently.

Lin Feng nodded when he heard, "ati"'s'radeon-9000' series Lin Feng has been fortunate to use it, and its performance is indeed outstanding, surpassing the "nvidia" "mx440" series at that time. "Nvidia" was on an equal footing, and jointly defeated other display chip manufacturers (such as sis, matrox and other brands), and finally formed two dominant situations.

After everyone reported, Lin Feng announced his decision.

"In the third quarter, in addition to the plans of the game development teams and hardware development departments, I decided that our company has two big plans to implement." Lin Feng ordered the two plans to be placed in front of everyone.

"First of all, in terms of games, I decided to acquire Taiwan Daewoo Information Co., Ltd." Lin Feng said with a hint of excitement in his tone.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and was suddenly shocked when they returned to their senses.

Taiwan Daewoo Information Co., Ltd. is one of the best stand-alone game companies in China.

"There are several reasons. First of all, except for the Half-Life 2 of the fifth game development team and the Heroes Invincible series of the sixth game development team, the rest are all online games. The stand-alone game market is not sluggish at present. There is still a very large market. At the same time, our company lacks an rpg game production team, and Daewoo Information Co., Ltd. is best at rpg games. Both the Legend of the Sword and the Xuanyuan Sword are anti-Ding in Chinese rpg games. This work is loved by all players. And its Monopoly is also a very popular casual game." Lin Feng's tone is getting more and more excited, "Whether it is the Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Sword or Xuanyuan Sword can be adapted into a large online network The game, I believe that with its popularity and influence, it will definitely have a large group of players."

Lin Feng gasped slightly, and said after everyone had digested it.

"Jian Xia Qing Yuan Zhi loyal to serve the country belongs to the Chinese martial arts category, and the Legend of the Sword and the Fairy Sword and Xuan Yuan Sword belong to the oriental fantasy category. The two do not conflict, and both can open the international market." Lin Feng ordered people to pass everyone a copy. At present, Daewoo Information Co., Ltd. was listed in Taiwan last year, with a market value of 240 million New Taiwan dollars, which is equivalent to 51.6 million yuan. Our company also has the financial resources to buy it." Lin Feng said.

Everyone looked at the information and sighed. Daewoo Information Co., Ltd., which has produced so many wonderful games, has a market value of only 51.6 million yuan, which is really embarrassing. Of course, this is also closely related to the successive failures of games developed by Daewoo Information Co., Ltd. recently. The fourth part of its signature game Xuanyuan Sword-Xuanyuan Sword Si-Black Dragon Dance Xiyun Feiyang, is the first time Daewoo Information has produced a fully 3D game, but it ultimately suffered a fiasco. Moreover, the rise of online games in the past two years has made Daewoo Consulting's life more difficult. As for another signature game-the sequel to Legend of Sword and Fairy, it has been called for many times, and it has not appeared.

"Currently, Daewoo Information’s market shares account for 30% of the total share capital, approximately 4.1 million shares. The share capital is mainly in the hands of three people. Chairman Li Yongjin holds 20% of the shares, director Ding Shuzi holds 13.13%, and director Chen Yaotian holds 33.2%. The director holds 4% of the shares. With the current market and price of Daewoo Information, our company is fully capable of acquiring." Lin Feng said.

Lin Feng wants to acquire Daewoo Information, in addition to filling the "Second World" vacancy in the rpg game, but also to develop the Legend of Sword and Fairy into an online version. The so-called Legend of Sword and Fairy Online from later generations is simply disappointing. Now that he has become the third richest person in the world, he is fully capable of fulfilling his former dream.

Three years before rebirth, I had been struggling to make money, just to have a better future and to live up to this "rebirth" adventure. Now that I have everything I have, it is time to fulfill some dreams and wishes.

One of Lin Feng's wishes is to make movies on The Legend of Sword and Fairy and to develop the Legend of Sword and Fairy online. Moreover, after the acquisition of Daewoo Information, Lin Feng will own the full copyright to Legend of Sword and Fairy. There will be no worries about changing to a movie.

Everyone looked at each other without any objection, and approved Lin Feng's decision. Wu Zhaopu and others have a "superstition" that almost worships Lin Feng, and believe that Lin Feng's every move can bring benefits to the company. Of course, the acquisition of Daewoo Information will make it easier for Lin Feng's "Second Entertainment" to film the Legend of the Sword and the Fairy. This is well known to everyone, but this is nothing and does not affect the company's interests.

Luerz and He Guoyuan are laymen to the game industry, and naturally they will not oppose them. Moreover, the shareholdings of both parties are almost the same. It can be said that if any party agrees with Lin Feng, any plan of Lin Feng can be implemented. Lin Feng feels that the company's shareholding structure is just right for the game and the hardware at the same time.

The proposal to acquire Taiwan's Daewoo Information was passed.

"As for the hardware development department, Luerz, He Guoyuan, I have a proposal." Lin Feng smiled slightly.

Wu Zhaopu and the others were shocked, wondering what surprise Lin Feng had done. They did not prepare for the acquisition of Daewoo Information in advance, but the detailed information in front of them showed that Lin Feng had already made all preparations. So now, what advice does Lin Feng have for the hardware development department?

Lin Feng’s magic in the past was only manifested in the game industry, and he can often put forward epoch-making suggestions and some whimsical ideas. Is it feasible in the computer hardware department?

Under everyone's guess, Lin Feng talked about the plan that had been brewing in his heart for a long time.

"Now our company has the right to operate public Internet cafes in East China and South China. The Internet cities in various regions have begun to renovate and will be able to start operations in one month. At present, 100 Internet cities have been opened in 33 cities in the two regions, totaling 50,000 A computer, plus decoration costs, rental fees, etc., calculated with a mainstream computer configuration of 5,000 yuan (due to our company’s production, performance is higher than the mainstream configuration on the market), it will cost 350-400 million yuan in total." Lin Feng read Eye information said.

"More network cities will be opened later. There are 41 prefecture-level cities in East China, and 47 polar cities in South China. Calculated as an ordinary prefecture-level city and 2 network cities, a total of 176 network cities are needed. A big project. Although the benefits cannot be obtained directly through the sale of computers, the long-term profitability of Internet cafes will bring huge benefits to the company." Lin Feng said.

Everyone nodded. My company manufactures computers, assembles them, sells them by themselves, and uses them by themselves. All of them are one-stop. The ultimate benefit is directly facing Internet cafe users who will also use computers produced by their own companies to play online games made by their own companies. This can be described as a super one-stop service. At the same time, intermediate links are eliminated, saving the company a lot of money.

"So I asked the hardware development part to be divided into two departments. One department is dedicated to designing computers for games. Don't consider the flashy data of'intel' high-end processors. Combine the'ati' display chip technology to integrate the motherboard, cpu, and graphics card. , The memory is fully integrated, and then the lowest cost is enough to meet the current mainstream games. The other development department develops high-end technology to fight against'intel', but what I pursue is to catch up with'intel' in technology and then surpass' "Intel', but I don't want to occupy a position in the market share. Even if the high-end market is given to'intel', it will do." Lin Feng said with a fist heavy.

Luerz and He Guoyuan were taken aback, not understanding what Lin Feng meant. How can anyone give up the high-end market, give up the high-end market, let the "intel" stand alone, and ultimately bring all consumers down.

But He Guoyuan was thoughtful. After all, Lin Feng would not propose such a plan out of thin air.

"Hehe, He Guoyuan, where is the real profit in your graphics card market?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

"In the graphics card market, although high-end graphics cards are expensive and technologically advanced, but the profits are not large. The real profits are all in the low-end graphics cards." He Guoyuan said intently. After that, He Guoyuan understood what Lin Feng meant.

Since "amd" is technically unable to catch up with "intel", it is better to focus on the low-end market and seize the most profitable mid- and low-end market. Regardless of the low prices of low-end products, but the large sales volume, small profits but quick turnover, their profits far exceed those of high-end products. However, the technical power represented by high-end products represents the strength of the company. Without this hard indicator, consumers are very easy to turn.

At this moment Ruelz also understood, and he also had the same doubts. Give up the high-end market and only fool the "intel" technically. Will consumers eventually buy it?

Lin Feng smiled. The former "amd" and "ati" naturally did not dare to do so, but I dare to do it because I have "ace". That's why Lin Feng proposed the "Star Wars" plan for the IT industry.
