Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

Umbrella's current business, not to mention having nothing to do with the electronics industry, can only be said to be out of reach.

One is biotechnology and the other is the electronics industry. No matter how you look at it, they are not the same group.

Like Boris on the future of Umbrella Company, Patrick also believes that vertical cultivation is more suitable for the development of Umbrella.

Therefore, although Patrick followed Murphy's instructions to understand Murphy's idea of ​​"entering the electronics industry", he never supported it.

The span is too big, and Umbrella has no accumulation in this area, and the chip industry is an industry that extremely needs technology accumulation. If you break into Umbrella based on its current situation, isn't it like a little white rabbit entering the wolf's den? Pure prodigal behavior.

But in Murphy's view, this is what he has to do.

Why enter the electronics industry?

It’s not because today’s technology is developing too slowly!

In fact, although today's technology world is not as big as it was thirty years ago, it has developed fast enough. It is not an exaggeration to describe the electronics industry as changing with each passing day.

But Murphy comes from the future. In his view, many current technologies are still not enough.

For example, the gene sequencing technology that is extremely needed by the transfiguration research team is still in its infancy. If it were left thirty years later, it would still take a little bit to guess what genes had been added after Boris became a vampire. Yes, just do a whole genome sequence for him, and then compare it with the human genome and bat genome, and the similarities and differences will come out immediately.

Another example is the measurement of the effects of spells by the spell research group. Due to the measurement accuracy of various physical sensors and the lack of non-invasive sensors in the human body, it is difficult to measure the brain waves and nerve potentials of wizards, and it is impossible to measure the relationship between wizards and spells. further quantitative analysis of the relationship.

In the future, CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, super-resolution microscopy technology, optogenetic technology, computer simulation technology, and various analysis technologies will be a huge help in the scientific research process and can greatly speed up research.

In his previous life, he only graduated with a bachelor's degree in computer science and had no experience with these sciences and technologies. He had heard the name, but he had no idea what it was.

If he wants these technologies to reappear in the world, there is only one way - to honestly accelerate the technological progress of the entire world and let the big guys in various professions develop these technologies again.

The only thing that can accelerate the speed of all scientific and technological research is the electronics industry.

Smaller transistors, more circuits, faster computing speeds, larger storage, more complex algorithms... will eventually turn into more accurate data, more complete theories, and more developed technology.

Humanity's technological train, which will continue to accelerate in the next thirty years, will run on silicon crystal tracks.

Moore's Law is the iron rule for the world's technological progress in the next thirty years.

So, Murphy's logic is clear.

If you want to study magic better, you need more advanced technology. If you want more advanced technology, you need faster computers. If you want faster computers, you need better chips.

As for a better chip, either it will appear naturally in a few decades, or only Murphy will build it.

But there was no way to explain this reason to Patrick.

"I'm optimistic about this industry." He could only reply.

This reason obviously failed to convince Patrick, but the latter did not refute, but asked: "Are you sure you want to enter this industry?"

"Sure."

Patrick nodded, "Then let's think about something. Do you have any specific ideas?"

The chip industry is huge, and the electronics industry is even bigger. Patrick wanted to ask Murphy which one he wanted to do specifically.

"certainly."

"We start with chips, first create a semi-industrial chain from IP core design, to IC architecture, to chip manufacturing, and then expand to the full industry chain of chips. At the same time, we also need to expand in personal computers and other personal electronic products. In terms of layout and software, we need to build our own system and application environment, because according to my assumptions, our chip architecture is beyond this era and cannot be compatible with existing software and hardware."

As Patrick listened, he felt that the boss was either crazy, or he was a wild dreamer who was more ambitious than Gang Leader Qiao.

Isn't this just Intel plus Apple plus Microsoft?

One chip is enough, and we have to build a new computer and software system. Which of these three is not a money-burning maniac.

"Let me ask, can the company buy back my shares?" Patrick said.

Murphy was happy, "Want to run away?"

"Who wouldn't want to run away after hearing this plan of yours? If I don't run, I'm afraid I'll lose my money and I won't even be able to wear my pants." Patrick complained.

"How about we just make computers? Using existing chips and systems, we can develop as long as we design well," said Patrick.

His idol, Gang Leader Qiao, did this in the beginning.

In the beginning, Apple was nothing more than a computer assembly shop.

"No!" Murphy flatly refused.

Do I lack money? What do I need from Lenovo?

"Patrick, don't you understand?" He looked at his partner and said seriously, "I don't want to fill my pockets with some fancy sales techniques or unique pricing strategies. We must promote technology. Progress! We must change the world!!”

Patrick froze.

change the world……

This is so similar to what his idol said!

He seemed to have gone back to two years ago and saw the young man who suddenly walked into his office...

Um? juvenile?

The face of the guy in front of me clearly looks more like that of a young man...

But that's not important.

Patrick felt his blood ignited again.

Yes, he actually forgot.

Could it be that he left his position at Blue Mountain Company to start a new world from scratch with a penniless boy just for money?

Is it to allow yourself to spend the rest of your life in peace and enjoyment?

No, it's not!

He saw a great thing, and he saw the possibility of changing the world with that great thing.

He wanted to be part of the creation of that great thing, to have his life become a legend—even if it was only a small part of the legend.

"I understand." Patrick calmed down.

"But what about the funds? Continue to sell Umbrella shares?"

Due to its crazy ability to attract money, the overall valuation of Umbrella Company has also increased. If Murphy is willing to conduct a public offering, Umbrella can immediately enter the ranks of a tens of billions of pounds super company.

But going public means being subject to more and stricter supervision and regulation, which Murphy is not happy with, and will also bring a lot of trouble to the umbrella.

"It's not impossible, but I don't want to touch Umbrella's shares for the time being, but Isis Pharmaceuticals and Camelot are fine."

The umbrella company cannot be listed, but if two subsidiaries are listed, the impact on the umbrella will not be that big. If each shares about 20% of the public offering, it will not affect the control. It is a feasible way to quickly raise funds.

"Let's go through the procedures first to see if they are suitable. But the chip factory cannot be delayed any longer. Let's find some experts to do an assessment and come up with a plan. I want to know what it takes to build an unprecedented chip manufacturing production line from scratch. What kind of work and how much investment is required?”

Patrick looked at Murphy. He had the same calmness as when he first met him, but at the same time, he seemed different. He seemed to be covered with a more mysterious veil. He could no longer see through his boss.

"Okay, now that you have made up your mind, I won't advise you anymore. However, you still have to think clearly. The richest and smartest people in the world are all crowded in the electronics industry. Why can we do more than them? good?"
