Chapter 316
Inside Hua Qiao Fan Dian, Shan Nei Pu and Gong Ben Mao looked at the scroll, the more they looked, the more excited they became.
"This game design is absolutely brilliant! I wonder what the main scenes and levels later on are like!" Shan Nei Pu said.
"Yeah, just these two scenes have hooked us; we can only choose to cooperate with Ha Gong Da." Gong Ben Mao nodded.
Dong dong!
Just then, another knocking sound came from outside.
"Who is it?"
"It's from Intel Corporation."
The two exchanged a glance, hurriedly rolled up the scroll, then walked to the door and opened it.
"Mr. Geluofu, Mr. Moore, you…… how did you come? Quick, please come in!"
Tomorrow there is a flight from Ha Cheng to the Capital, and tomorrow night there is a flight directly to the United States, so they will definitely have to stay here tonight. After some research, Geluofu and Moore felt that the most important thing now is to block the export route of Loongson No. 1!
The domestic market in the East will surely be all Loongson's, but this international market cannot let Loongson open a crack! So they decided to come find Nintendo!
"In the game console market, you really don't need a too‑good processor; an 8‑bit one is enough." After coming in, Geluofu explained their purpose: "If you have a need, our 8088 chip can be sold to you at a low price, each chip only costs one hundred dollars!"
Loongson is too expensive; even at the highest rebate, a processor costs over two hundred dollars, and Intel's is actually also expensive, but now, in order to compete with Loongson, they are willing to lower the price!
"If it's just about being cheap, we could completely use the MOS6502, which only needs twenty dollars." Gong Ben Mao spoke up.
In later generations, they couldn't find a processor that was both powerful and low‑power, so they kept using this one; but now that Loongson No. 1 has appeared, they certainly won't lower their standards.
Moreover, the game design diagram drawn by Qin Miao for them has a not‑low resolution; if the processor performance is poor, it simply cannot be driven!
"If you want something with stronger performance, we Intel also have it; although this is a trade secret, we can now reveal it to you: we are currently developing a 286 processor, also a 16‑bit processor, integrating tens of thousands of transistors inside. Intel is the leader in the processor field, our experience accumulation is deep, and Loongson like this surely has many small problems!"
Moore also joined the sales pitch, talking fluently, but…… the other side seemed not to care at all; their gaze kept flickering occasionally to a scroll on the table.
What's going on?
Moore patiently continued his introduction, speaking for over half an hour.
We have received your goodwill; we will consider it.
Hearing Shan Nei Pu's words, Geluofu and Moore exchanged another glance, what does that mean? The other side didn't take in a word, and is already impatient, wanting to send us away?
Our processor's price will also be cheaper than the Eastern one...
Yes, we already know that; we will give it serious consideration.
So, can you give up signing a contract with Ha Gong Da?
Of course not; since we have already promised, we must follow through—after all, there were so many reporters back then! Rest assured, we will later make a comparison, and if suitable, we will also purchase.
Mr. Shan, may I ask why you are so firmly choosing the Eastern processor? Geluofu couldn't hold back and asked.
This……
This certainly cannot be said! Ha Gong Da has designed a brand‑new, epoch‑making game; this is an important product to crush Atari! Our cooperation with Ha Gong Da is all‑round, absolutely not just buying chips.
Sorry, for now we still cannot tell you.
On the other side, Qin Miao and Chu Miaomiao returned to Ha Gong Da.
The press conference ended; next, we can go back!
"Miaomiao, tomorrow we'll take a plane back; over the past half year, the Capital has also changed quite a bit..."
"Hmm, Sister Honghong seems…… to have to keep staying here busy."
Ha Gong Da's import‑export company still has many matters; Zhang Honghong is completely tied up, running here and there, ending up more tired than doing research at school!
Not going back together has always been a regret.
Ding ling ling…… just then, the telephone rang.
"Hello, what? Okay, I'll go right over!"
In this era, not many can have a telephone installed at home; Qin Miao's rank isn't enough for that, but after he moved in, the telephone was quickly installed—not for his convenience, but to make it easier for others to find him!
"San Shui brother, what's up?"
At the microelectronics company, Leader Li is leading some foreign customers to tour the factory; the foreign customers asked about some technical details, we refused to say, and the guy from the Computing Institute, standing aside, is stirring the flames, trying to get us to leak secrets, while that Leader Li is still someone without his own opinion...
After Qin Miao said that, helplessly he went downstairs, got into a Land Rover, and drove to the microelectronics company.
At this time, it was already past nine o'clock at night.
Today, everyone is very happy; after the press conference ended, out of courtesy, the microelectronics company let some people who could not leave temporarily have a meal, and after finishing the meal, everyone again requested to go to the production factory for inspection.
This was originally also a good opportunity for outsiders to understand Ha Gong Da's microelectronics company, after all many foreigners are watching.
So Engineer Ni agreed; who would have thought these people had other motives, asking about all kinds of technical details nonstop!
Some things are confidential, of course cannot be answered; thus, Liu Zhonglie this guy jumped out.
"Engineer Ni, our Ha Gong Da microelectronics company cannot just hoard our own broom like this; these advanced technologies can also be taken out to exchange with international peers!"
"That's right, Texas Instruments is very interested in your production technology here; the 1‑micron process is currently the most advanced in the world, and we are here to humbly seek advice!"
"Leader Li, have you seen? This Mr. Charles can ask without shame; we cannot keep secrets!" Liu Zhonglie said: "Science and technology know no borders; facing so many foreign friends, we must be selfless!"
Just then, a voice sounded from outside: "Liu Zhonglie, you damn it, you really didn't remember what I said before—'Science and technology know no borders,' what's the second half? You damn it, you're a traitor selling out the country!"
Liu Zhonglie's face changed: "Qin Miao, how can you curse people?"
"My cursing you is already light! Later when you go out, there will be military personnel coming to find you to understand the situation; you better cooperate well, striving for lenient handling."
"What does that mean?"
"I told you in advance, there are military secrets here; your current behavior already constitutes treason!"
Liu Zhonglie trembled all over: "Leader Li, I don't have that intention, you save me..."
Leader Li also shivered all over, almost committing a serious mistake!
