Monday, August 21, 2000, sunny and high temperature.
At 9:00 in the morning, Ding Tao, Liu Cong, and Zhao Lei appeared in Zhonghai's office at the same time. After a simple exchange, the three of them left.
An hour later, before all the shops in Zhongguancun could react, Tesla completed the purchase of two CPUs. Intel Pentium III 500E and AMD Duron 600, two CPUs that have just been on the market less than a month ago, will be sold at the store.
For the entire two months of August and September, except for a few scattered shops, there was nothing to sell!
For the first time, Tesla showed everyone its huge power in Zhongguancun.
Now, everyone knows that Tesla will have not one, but two new products on the market.
And Tesla is involved in AMD products for the first time.
….
Soon after, there was a heated discussion on the Internet.
"Pentium III 500E is the world's first CPU, but what's so special about Duron?"
"Pentium III 500E can only do super without liquid nitrogen cannon. Is Tesla's heat pipe radiator really that powerful?"
"What's so special about that Duron?"
"I checked on foreign websites. Someone has unlocked the frequency multiplier of Duron, but they didn't explain how."
"Anyway, I'm really looking forward to it. I feel like our hardware forum has become a lot more lively since we got Tesla."
"Agree upstairs!"
……….
10:00, Shenzhen Sunshine Hotel, cafe.
Sister Fei, accompanied by Yuanyuan, sat opposite Zhao Song.
"You are so young!" Sister Fei looked at Zhao Song with a smile, "I can't believe that you single-handedly founded the rapidly rising Tesla."
Listening to this beauty's compliment, Zhao Song couldn't help but sigh in his heart. On the surface, Zhao Song said humbly: "Sister Fei praised me, I'm just lucky."
"You can't make Phantom Red and Cooler Black just by luck." Sister Fei took a sip of tea, "Speaking of which, Great Wall owes you a favor for the Cooler Black chassis!"
Zhao Song shook his head quickly: "That's just Yuanyuan, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Oh?" Sister Fei glanced at Yuanyuan who lowered her head, smiled and didn't care.
"I heard from Yuanyuan that you want to discuss cooperation with Great Wall this time."
Zhao Song nodded, "Yes, I hope Great Wall Power can OEM power supplies for Tesla."
Great Wall Power Supply is a mythical existence at this time. Zhao Song does not know what is good about it. He only knows that Great Wall Power Supply has the most fakes on the market, and you can understand how good its reputation among users is!
Sister Fei listened without comment and asked: "What are your requirements?"
"Military production line," Zhao Song swallowed nervously, then asked, "and use capacitors from island countries!"
Sister Fei frowned and asked in a bad tone: "Do you think it's possible? Great Wall Power Supply always uses domestic capacitors."
Therefore, your future products will slowly be surpassed by the Wanwan brand!
"Exchange!" Zhao Song replied categorically: "I will exchange it with the Great Wall for a product that even ten cool blacks can't match!"
Sister Fei's eyes lit up, she leaned over and stared at Zhao Song, "Please continue."
Zhao Song thought for a while and asked: "If the product meets Great Wall Group's expectations, can the two requirements I just met be realized?"
Sister Fei pondered for a while, then stood up and walked to a secluded place to make a phone call.
Five minutes later, she sat back on the sofa.
"It can be done. Now it depends on what happens to the things you brought."
Zhao Song nodded, took out a photo from his backpack and handed it to Sister Fei.
"This was a conceptual product from Apple in 1998. Due to its poor performance, it disappeared without a trace one month after its launch. But now, I think the time is completely ripe."
Sister Fei picked up the photo and looked at it. Slowly, her eyes became brighter and brighter, "Zhao Song, what is it called?"
“All-in-one desktop!”
Sister Fei put the photo into her backpack, "I need to go back to the company and contact Boss Zhao later!" Sister Fei changed her title.
Zhao Song made a gesture of asking him to do whatever he wanted.
"Aren't you afraid that Great Wall will take your plan and not agree to cooperate with Tesla?" Sister Fei asked with interest.
Zhao Song smiled and shook his head, "My negotiation team will arrive this afternoon. If the OEM contract cannot be completed tonight, all the top ten brand computer manufacturers will receive this photo tomorrow morning."
A negotiation team composed of two people can be considered a team.
……….
10:30, Beijing University.
Qing Tian hurriedly ran into the dormitory of a male voice. Suddenly, there was a burst of chickens and dogs.
"Sunny day, you don't know how to knock on the door!" a male voice yelled.
Qingtian said contemptuously: "I don't even care, what are you so anxious about?"
A group of male voices were collectively speechless.
"Where's the stuff?"
A handsome boy handed Qingtian a USB flash drive and said: "One for Pentium, one for AMD, and DBUG for three days. It's basically perfected. We need Tesla's help to do a large-scale test."
Qingtian took the USB flash drive, took out his cell phone and called Ding Tao.
"Brother Ding, the one-click overclocking program has been completed. Tesla needs to do some more testing."
After Qingtian finished speaking, he listened carefully for a while before hanging up the phone.
"This afternoon, the Tesla factory in Pingchang District, you will be there to cooperate with Tesla in testing for the next five days, okay?"
The handsome guy asked hesitantly: "Qingtian, is this business really..."
"200,000!" Qingtian interrupted the handsome guy, "The first 100,000 yuan will be remitted to your account immediately, and the rest will be paid off after DBUG is completed!"
"Yeah~~~"
…………..
Tesla Assembly Plant in Pingchang District.
Ding Tao put down the phone, smiled apologetically at the three people in front of him, and continued the unfinished topic.
"The three eldest brothers used to be electrical engineers. This job should be relatively simple for you."
Ding Tao picked up a CPU, showed it to the three of them, and continued: "This is the AMD Duron CPU. I believe that after this period of training, you already have an understanding of it. What needs to be done now is to use a conductive pen to connect
Four little bridges, unlocking its multiplier!”
"Is it that simple?" one of them asked.
Ding Tao nodded, "We have done tests with pencils before, and the success rate was 100%. The reason why we use conductive pens is to make them more stable."
The person who asked the question before nodded: "That's no problem. It's just a simple operation. We will transfer a few old employees from the electronics factory from the assembly factory and we can complete it in a few days."
"Then I'll leave it to you, big brothers!"
"That's right, Manager Ding said something harsh."
Ding Tao nodded with a smile, said goodbye to a few people, and walked out of the factory. He couldn't help but feel funny when he thought about the smart one-click Internet access function of the computer. No matter how smart it is, he still has to fill in his account and password?
These two overclocking configurations will be Tesla’s swan song before it becomes a brand machine. One-click overclocking, let’s see how you face these two big bombs!
………….
17:30, Shenzhen Airport.
After explaining Wei Fang and Fu Jianxing carefully, Zhao Song let them go.
He walked up to Yuanyuan and looked carefully at this round little village girl.
"Brother Zhao Song, won't you participate in the negotiations?"
Zhao Song shook his head: "My age shows on my face, and it's easy for them to look down upon me. It's better to let professionals do it!"
Yuanyuan nodded: "Anyway, the general framework has been agreed with Sister Fei, so it doesn't matter if we don't go."
After looking at the Rolex watch, Zhao Song pondered for a moment and told Yuanyuan: "Don't get involved in the Great Wall hard drive business. If you have a chance, you and Sister Fei can ask why only IBM uses glass disk technology? There are so many others.
Hard drive manufacturers don’t even use it?”
Yuanyuan looked at Zhao Song in surprise: "You mean, there is something wrong with the IBM technology introduced by Great Wall?"
"I don't know," Zhao Song shrugged, "This needs to be studied by the Great Wall Group itself. You are too anxious."
Yuanyuan nodded: "Brother Zhao Song, I will tell Sister Fei if I have the chance."
Zhao Song stepped forward, hugged Yuanyuan, and kissed her on the forehead: "Let's go, girl!"
Yuanyuan's eyes were red and she didn't speak.
Zhao Song smiled, picked up his backpack, and walked towards the security checkpoint.
