"I can understand you.

The more people in the industry understand the huge gap between China's semiconductor industry and foreign countries.

Not to mention compared with Amerikan, the size, scale and technology of China's semiconductor industry are probably similar to Malaysia's.

Your idea is good, but the difficulty is really too great. "

Hu Zhengming knows very well how difficult it is to return to China to engage in the semiconductor industry.

In 1985, he was invited by Academician Yan Dongsheng to make a material for China called: Strategic and Important Consulting Suggestions for the Development of China's Microelectronics Science and Technology.

Of course, China at that time did not have the resources to develop such an intensive industry, which was both capital-intensive and engineer-intensive.

If you fell behind before, it will be even harder to catch up later.

Now when we go back to China to start an integrated circuit business, we can only make money by transferring some low-end industries back. If we move the mid-range semiconductor industry to China, we won't get much profit.

The reason is that everything from accessories to equipment to technical support relies on imports, and the only advantage is labor cost.

"As long as you can meet the graduation requirements, I will let you graduate.

If you really return to China to start a business in the future, I will recommend a few talents to you.

He is also your senior brother.

Their minds are not as vivid as yours, but their accumulation in the field of integrated circuits is very profound.

I mainly recruit international students from China, in a sense, to contribute to the development of integrated circuits in China.

It’s just that few of them return to China after graduation.

After some returned to China and stayed for two years, they still ran to Xiangjiang through various channels, and then returned to America.

I talked to them and they all couldn't stand the low treatment.

I can earn about 5,000 US dollars a month in Amerikan, and when I go back to a state-owned enterprise, I can earn about 1,500 RMB.

Not everyone can handle this gap. "

"I also hope that you can succeed in starting a business in China, provide better jobs, and cultivate some talents for China."

Zhou Xin knew that Lao Hu's wishes were gradually realized after 18 years.

After 18 years, there will not be too many international students in the integrated circuit field returning to China to work.

This is a materialistic world, and simply talking about dedication is unsustainable.

...

Citrus is located at 6703 Melrose Avenue. This is Zhou Xin’s first time visiting this restaurant.

Maybe when he comes to San Francisco in the future, this restaurant will no longer be there, maybe it will close down, maybe it will change its address, maybe it will change its name.

"Hello Newman, you are younger than I thought."

Similarly, Bill Gates is much younger than Zhou Xin imagined.

Bill Gates has retired since Zhou Xin became aware of it, and when he occasionally appears in public, he is mostly in a slovenly manner, making him appear older than his actual age.

"Hello, it's hard for me to imagine that a year ago I was eating in the cafeteria of Yenching University, and a year later I was having dinner with the world's richest man."

Gates nodded: "I know you were a student at Yan University, and now you have transferred to Berkeley.

Yanda is very good. I have been to Yanda to give lectures, and your students left a deep impact on me.

I just went to Shuimu University last year, but unfortunately I didn’t go to Yanda.

If I had gone to Yanda last year, then maybe we would have known each other last year. "

Bill Gates has a good impression of China, not just because of its vast market.

Since his first visit to China in 1994, he has visited China once a year throughout the 1990s.

"When you gave a speech at Yan University, I hadn't even enrolled yet."

“Yeah, it’s really a shame.

Every time I see young people, I always feel very good because I was so young and full of energy when I started my business.

I don’t think any problem will trouble me.

You can try this. Although this restaurant is an Italian restaurant, their chef's skills clearly have a French feel.

I love the flavor of this fusion of styles.

Originally, I was looking for a Chinese restaurant, but I really didn’t know which Chinese restaurant was better in the San Francisco area.

Next time you come to Seattle, I'll take you to Louie's Cuisine of China, which has been the most popular Chinese restaurant in Seattle since many years ago. It's delicious. "

In many Western conspiracy theories, Bill Gates is the image of the boss behind them.

Some of Zhou Xin’s friends around him also talked to him on the Internet in China and after he went to San Francisco, which had a profound impact on him.

After actual contact with the other party, Zhou Xin found that Bill Gates was very humble and dressed simply.

Simple khaki button-down shirt.

"Thank you very much. I will definitely visit Seattle if I have the chance."

“There will definitely be a chance.

I also played Angry Birds, which you developed, and it was very interesting.

In other words, many people have played it, and I have seen the red bird icon on the desktops of many executives.

Great game idea. "

“This is a credit to our entire team.

We have a lot of great people at Microsoft, and we formed a game development team and built this game. "

Bill Gates smiled and did not pursue Zhou Xin's poaching: "If it hadn't been for this, I wouldn't have realized that Microsoft also has game development talents.

We have actually been doing game publishing.

Last year, we acted as an agent for Age of Empires, developed by Ensemble Studios. This game is a real-time strategy game, which is different from yours.

Also a great video game. "

“I’ve played it and it’s really good.”

“But what amazes me the most is the payment method you designed.

After I studied it carefully, I had the urge to tell Ed to get out.

You may not know much about Ed.

Ed Freese

He's the head of our game publishing department.

There are more than a thousand people in the entire game publishing department, and no one thought that we could publish the game in this way.

We also need to take the traditional approach of going to game developers to copy the packaging and then distribute the game to each channel.

It's just so stupid, isn't it?

We have more than a thousand people responsible for this business.

But actually through the payment system you developed, we can reduce the number of people to less than a hundred people.

At the same time, the game can be distributed globally through purely online means.

What a great creation this is.

Your idea is very good, and Microsoft will apply it in the future.

This is a reference in a sense, which is inevitable for large enterprises.

But I still want you to take charge of this department for me and be responsible for the entire game publishing work.

This is your strength.

We will start the development of home game consoles next year. I plan to hand over the entire gaming field to you, and you will be directly responsible to me.

what do you think? "

Ed Freese was Microsoft's vice president of game publishing for a long time.

Bill Gates is not just a fool. He will take charge of the game publishing department this year. After proving his ability, he indeed plans to hand over the Xbox to Zhou Xin.
