My rebirth is different

After shopping for clothes, the three returned to Facebook North America.

Anyway, they are here, Yu Wenfei still wants to show Zhou Mengqi around.

"This company mainly deals in games, and it owns two major branches, Blizzard and Valve. You should know these two companies, oh, you don't play games, maybe you don't know."

Yu Wenfei took Zhou Mengqi around the company without asking others to accompany him.

The passing employees all looked at the two curiously, because they were both young and their faces were unfamiliar.

"Even if I don't play games, I have heard of these two companies. There are many students in college who play games. Maybe you don't know. My good friend Jesse is obsessed with Warcraft. A girl likes to play games. I don't know I dare to believe it." Zhou Mengqi laughed.

While talking and chatting, an employee walked up to him. He also looked at Yu Wenfei and Yu Wenfei curiously, and then he was stunned.

"Zhou Mengqi?"

Hearing someone calling her name, Zhou Mengqi looked over in surprise, and then laughed. It turned out to be her old classmate Alan.

This Allen wanted to chase after him at the beginning, but after the establishment of Facebook North America, Allen directly dropped out of school and went to work.

Obviously, Allen's love for games is far more than anything else!

Alan was about to talk to Zhou Mengqi when he turned around and saw Yu Wenfei. Although he had only seen this face once, his impression was quite deep, because this was his boss's boss's boss...

"Boss Fei!" He blurted out.

"Hello, do you know Meng Qi?" Yu Wenfei nodded and said, obviously he had already forgotten who this Allen was.

"Cousin, Alan used to be my classmate. Last time you went to see me, he and Jesse were both there. Did you forget? But Alan left school to work in your company." Zhou Mengqi explained.

Yu Wenfei suddenly realized, and remembered who this person was.

"How does it feel to work here? Isn't it a pity to give up your studies at Stanford University?" He asked with a smile.

Allen was slightly excited, and he replied simply: "It feels great to be here! We are the largest game company in North America. We can play the latest games and get in touch with all game companies. This is the job I want most Already!"

Allen is now also a small supervisor, responsible for the game store of the North American platform of Facebook Games.

Indeed, if other game companies want to put their games on the Facebook game platform, they must first provide a trial version for review by Facebook. If Alan wants to play games, he can really play until he vomits!

After chatting for a while, Yu Wenfei and Zhou Mengqi prepared to bid farewell to Alan and continue to visit.

Chapter 698 This is my girlfriend

Facebook Games North America now has a large number of employees. It has its own office building, science and technology park, and various supporting restaurants, gyms, and game rooms.

After wandering around for a while, Yu Wenfei took Zhou Mengqi to the coffee shop downstairs to take a rest and chat at the same time.

"It's time for you to be an exchange student. Return to China at the end of the year?"

Holding a coffee cup, Yu Wenfei asked while stirring gently with a silver spoon.

Zhou Mengqi came to Stanford after this year. Generally, the study period for this kind of exchange students is one year, and they still have to go back to the original school to study after the end.

"That...he gave me a full scholarship here, and wants me to continue my studies..." Zhou Mengqi hesitated for a moment, then said.

Yu Wenfei smiled. It seems that Zhou Mengqi has performed very well this year. It is much more difficult to get a full scholarship from Stanford than to be admitted to Tsinghua University.

"What do you think? Do you want to stay here?" He asked again.

"From the perspective of academics, I think it might be better to stay here. After all, for my major, the world's top experts are concentrated here." Zhou Mengqi sighed.

Her professional direction is to focus on IC design, that is, "integrated circuit design", and the most commonly used material for integrated circuits is "silicon"!

Reminiscent of Silicon Valley not far from Stanford University, it is of course not surprising that global IC design experts are concentrated here.

As for the country, it is no problem to learn some basic knowledge for this major, but if you want to get in touch with the most cutting-edge technology in the world, you really think too much.

So Zhou Mengqi's inclination is to stay here.

"Then stay at Stanford. By the way, do you have the opportunity to get in touch with those top IC experts?" Yu Wenfei suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Yes, the school often invites experts in the industry to serve as guest professors, and give speeches from time to time. What's the matter?" Zhou Mengqi replied.

"Please help me to pay attention, I may find some experts in this field after a while. In addition to IC experts, there are also talents in industrial design, materials science, storage batteries, etc., which are also needed." Yu Wenfei said.

Zhou Mengqi understood, Yu Wenfei had told her what she would do in the future, and now she was asked to pay attention to experts in this field, so it was naturally to prepare for making mobile phones.

However, according to Yu Wenfei's words, he wants to learn from mobile phone giants such as Nokia and Motorola, and conduct comprehensive self-development starting from the chip.

"Chip research and development is very, very difficult. Whether it is a computer chip or a mobile phone chip, it requires huge and long-term investment. However, this investment is also worthwhile. If you want to be an industry giant, you must not be controlled by others on core components. "Zhou Mengqi laughed.

If it is more than ten years later, someone says that he is going to make a mobile phone, and then all the main components such as chips are developed and produced by himself, then others will definitely regard you as crazy.

Because by that time, the chip industry has already been highly monopolized. In advance of mobile phone chips, everyone will only think of Qualcomm and Apple, and barely add HiSilicon.Even a giant like Samsung that eats the entire industry chain has to give up its own chips!

But in 2003, the chip industry was still in chaos.

The desktop-class CPU has long been divided, and Intel and AMD are competing for hegemony.

But on the mobile side, there are too many companies that design and produce chips. The major mobile phone giants have their own chips. In addition, there are Texas Instruments, Plextor, Qualcomm, Samsung, STMicroelectronics, etc., too many up.

At that time, no single company's chips could dominate the world, and everyone didn't pay too much attention to chips, and no country or company regarded chip technology as a cutting-edge technology.

Huawei's HiSilicon obtained the permanent authorization of ARM in [-] before it was able to start developing its own chips.

By the way, whether it is Huawei Hisilicon, Qualcomm, Apple or Samsung, their chips are re-developed on the basis of the ARM instruction set after being authorized by the ARM instruction set.

Of course, ARM didn't expect to make mobile chips at the beginning. It originally wanted to compete with Intel and AMD, but ARM's architecture did not compete with the X86 architecture and was defeated.

The X86 architecture adopted by AMD and Intel follows the "three-high" route of "high cost, high power consumption, and high performance". Therefore, it is easy to apply to large-scale equipment such as desktop computers, and quickly occupied the market.

However, ARM is a "double low" route of "low power consumption and low cost". Naturally, in the era of pursuing performance, it cannot beat the X86 architecture. Naturally, there is no market for it on computers and mainframes.

However, on mobile devices such as mobile phones, ARM has unexpectedly found its own suitable market and has been widely adopted by major manufacturers.

Yuwenfei's plan is to develop its own chip on this basis after obtaining the permanent authorization from ARM!

Of course, chip research and development is still a trivial matter. He started preparations around 2003, and by the time of the smart phone era, he would definitely be able to achieve a relative lead.

But research and development alone is not enough. Huawei's HiSilicon is still a very clear case!

At the beginning, the United States wanted to "sanction" and cut off Huawei ZTE's chips. As a result, ZTE was directly cut off from its "backbone".

However, Huawei took out its own Kirin chip, which not only turned the crisis into safety, but also became famous all over the world and let everyone know that Huawei's layout on the chip has lasted for more than ten years!

Seeing that Huawei still can't be restrained like this, the United States has gone even further. Not only does it not allow European and American companies to provide chips to Huawei, but it also prevents all fabs outside China from contracting Huawei chips!
