As one of the characteristics of corporate culture, Intel's office area has no luxurious chairman's office and CEO's office. Everyone has the same work compartment to distinguish their identity and status.

Therefore, as soon as Gao Xian came in, he noticed that two East Asians were talking to a middle-aged white man in a work cubicle.

"I'm Gordon Moore. I heard you want to customize the chip?" Gordon Moore came forward and warmly entertained Gao Xian and Ma Yongda.

Gao Xian looked at each other. Yes, this is Gordon Moore who proposed that "the number of transistors that can be accommodated in an integrated circuit will double every two years", that is, Moore's law.

Gao Xian nodded and said, "I'm from Xiangjiang in Asia. I heard that although Intel is a new company founded less than two years ago, it brings together top technical elites. Therefore, I'm attracted by my name and hope to solve my business needs."

"You're right. Intel is the best company!" Gordon Moore boasted first, and then said in a slightly surprised tone: "originally, the two are from Xiangjiang. I thought it was one."

Gao Xian raised his finger. "So, those two are from one book?"

Gordon Moore nodded, pulled his words back and said, "of course, Xiangjiang is also very internationally famous. California governor Reagan visited Xiangjiang last year."

"Xiangjiang also has the demand for the latest technology," Gao Xian said as he handed over his business card.

"David Gao." Gordon Moore politely put away his business card. "Then, Gao, please tell me about your needs."

"I need two chip solutions." Gao Xian stretched out his finger and gestured, "the first is the latest calculator; the second is a display terminal that can provide self-service query of stock information."

Gao Xian, who is well prepared, does have the idea of designing new products, so it can be described as endless.

"Calculator..." Gordon Moore subconsciously glanced at his direction, "Gao, in fact, Intel has undertaken a chip design business in calculator."

Gao Xian said with a smile, "that's great. You can further design on this basis. I believe that the efficiency and quality of the completion will be improved."

"No, no..." Gordon Moore waved his hand again and again. "Gao, you don't understand what I mean. I'm afraid Intel can't undertake your calculator chip design business."

"Why?" Gao Xian asked in surprise.

"It's like this..." Gordon Moore explained carefully: "when signing the cooperation agreement, the customer required to have full ownership of the chip solution. Therefore, we can't design the chip solution for you on this basis."

"Further, in order to avoid possible commercial conflicts of interest between your calculator products, Intel may not be able to take your calculator chip design order."

"So......" Gao Xian's face showed a disappointed look.

"But Intel can take over the chip design scheme of the display terminal." Gordon Moore quickly remedied: "Gao, can we talk about it in detail?"

"OK." Gao Xianmian said, "we now have a set of stock exchange information management system developed by using the latest minicomputer PDP-11 platform of data equipment company."

Hearing this, Gordon Moore said with awe: "unexpectedly, Xiangjiang is so keen on adopting new technologies. As far as I know, the New York Stock Exchange is much more conservative."

Gao Xian nodded helpfully and said, "with me, the situation is naturally different. NASDAQ hasn't appeared in the United States."

"The main purpose of this terminal is to display the latest stock market in open public places." Gao Xian continued to open the channel: "if it goes well, the whole system can also be transplanted to the application scenario of horse racing betting."

"By the way, do you understand horse racing?"

Gordon Moore, a "city man", obviously couldn't keep up with the high string idea from the "countryside". He shook his head faintly and said, "I don't understand. My spare time activity is fishing."

I said a high string of "don't know the best" in my heart, and my mouth was like a hanging river: "just as horse gambling is recognized in the United States, horse gambling is a legal franchise gambling in Xiangjiang, which is deeply sought after by the public. Almost everyone has the experience of participation, but the betting method is a very primitive manual operation. If computer technology is introduced..."

Gao Xian was fooling around, and a fierce language conflict broke out on his side.

The vaguely transmitted content is about:

"What, wait until the second half of the year to make a chip?"

"After all, your work is still at the stage of paper design blueprint."

"Originally, we provided several sets of design schemes for reference, but you insisted on designing universal and standardized chips. Now this is the result?"

"Don't mention the second half of the year. Your current progress has delayed the listing of our products and caused huge losses."

"Do you know how fierce the competition in a book market around a $3000 calculator is? Our company has been hurt by you."

"Now, I solemnly inform you that the cooperation between bizcon and Intel is terminated. Intel will return 60000 of the 100000 US dollars previously prepaid by bizcon."

……

Gordon Moore, with an embarrassed look on his face, quickly stood up and said, "sorry, Gao, I'll go over there first."

The high string moving in the heart did not sit in place and immediately followed the past.

Gordon Moore asked the middle-aged white man, "Robert, can I help you?"

Gao Xian suddenly realized that this was the famous Robert Noyce.

Robert Noyce smiled bitterly, "well, let Ted Hoff come and personally introduce the success of the work at this stage, so that they can understand that we only need a little more time."

"Ted Hoff?" Gao Xian thought, "it turns out that the chip they just said is intel-4004."

"Looking at this posture, another technical genius, Federico Fagin, has not arrived at Intel yet, and the intel-4004 is stuck in the manufacturing process."

Thinking of this, Gao Xian glanced at an angry man, then turned his eyes to Robert Noyce, and couldn't help sneering: "since you let me meet you so hard, don't blame me for being black!"

Before Gordon Moore went to find Ted Hoff, Gao Xian asked himself curiously, "does your company also make calculators? We are peers, and our company also makes calculators."

I may be angry and rudely take Gao Xian as air.

"Don't you believe it?" Gao Xian returned, took out a huanyu-8800 for demonstration from his backpack and gently put it on the table.

The eyes of everyone present were quickly attracted by the exquisite device of oscilloscope, a measuring instrument similar to that used in the laboratory.

I finally said, "is this your company's calculator product?"

"Of course," Gao Xian replied confidently.

I asked suspiciously, "what's the price of each?"

"Four hundred and ninety-nine dollars." Gao Xian replied softly.

"It's impossible." a man seemed to be stepped on his tail and replied in a sharp voice, "our calculator is the best and cheapest in the world. It's even 3000 dollars. Your calculator can't be only 500 dollars."

The other one answered contemptuously, "there is only one answer. This is a toy."

Seeing that I reached out and took my calculator, Gao Xian immediately stopped and said, "friend business, please respect yourself!"

The two men laughed together, "look, it scared him. This thing is really a toy."

Gao Xian smiled faintly, "is it a toy? If you demonstrate it, the truth will be revealed!"

Speaking of this, Gao Xian skillfully opened huanyu-8800, "the simple operation of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division is not worth mentioning. Let me show you the logarithmic operation. For example, the logarithm of 256 based on two..."

Looking at the green calculation results displayed on the small screen of huanyu-8800, the two ones suddenly looked like earth.

Gao Xian said, "let's calculate the logarithm based on ten again... By the way, I forgot to tell you that through this interface, you can also program formulas..."

After the two men looked at each other, they once again blew their beard and glared at Robert Noyce and said, "the cooperation between bizcon and Intel is terminated. We will report it to the headquarters immediately."

Before Robert Noyce could speak, they ran away like rabbits.

Gordon Moore looked at Gao Xian bitterly, "Gao, you shouldn't scare them away. Our chip research and development work has been carried out for more than half. Now we not only give up halfway, but also return us $60000. The loss is too great."

He took the high string of huanyu-8800 and sincerely apologized, "I'm really sorry. I couldn't help it for a moment. I compared it with them. Whose products are the most high-quality and cheap."

Gordon Moore shook his head reluctantly, and then Robert Noyce, who was decadent opposite, explained: "this is David Gao. He came to Intel and wants us to customize chips, one for calculators and one for display terminals."

"Calculator?" Robert Noyce asked Gao Xian eagerly, "the chip we are developing for bizkon is universal. Is Gao willing to take over?"

The high string surface showed hesitation, "I'm afraid it's still unknown how universal your chip can be and whether it can be suitable for our products."

Robert noyshaw stood up. "Gao, I can show you now."

The corner of Gao Xian's mouth tilted slightly, and there seemed to be a "Ding Dong" in his ear - the world's first microprocessor intel-4004!
