Of course, Zhi Ling and He Zhengcheng lived together. The joys and pleasures of that are naturally hard to describe, otherwise, everyone knows what situations would arise.
Food and sex are great human desires. At their age, influenced by the corrupt Western lifestyle and culture, it was only natural for them to be so.
Christmas had a few days of holiday. After a day of doting on each other, He Zhengcheng took her to visit several well-known tech companies in Silicon Valley, such as Nvidia, founded by a fellow countryman from Taiwan.
He Zhengcheng was not well-known and only managed to meet this famous "leather jacket man" of Silicon Valley through some connections.
A gamer who doesn't know Nvidia graphics cards is definitely not a good player. Whether they buy one or not is irrelevant, they should at least know a thing or two about the reputation of the GTX strategic nuclear graphics card.
Of course, today's Jensen Huang is not yet the cool, dashing, trendy man who would pilot a plane to bomb EA's headquarters.
"I wish your TNT could completely blow open the graphics card market." He Zhengcheng
"Thank you, we've already done it." Jensen Huang
He Zhengcheng smiled noncommittally. In the current graphics card market, 3DFX and ATI were not inferior to Nvidia.
"I am very optimistic about the development of GPUs. Although I don't understand the technology, I know that in the future, the implementation of games, movies, design, and drawing functions on PCs will be inseparable from the development of GPUs. Perhaps in the future, most computers will be equipped with an independent graphics card."
"But I don't know if Nvidia can keep up with Moore's Law? Also, in this booming PC era, can you provide products and prices that ordinary consumers can accept?" He Zhengcheng pretended to understand. He was simply brainwashed by future self-media. Twenty years later, Nvidia would be the representative of AI chips… "Of course we can, in fact, we are already doing it…" Jensen Huang
Every CEO is a master of boasting. An entrepreneur who can't boast is unqualified. Otherwise, how would they make investors believe, how would they make company employees believe, how would they maintain their position, and how would they drive the company forward?
So most professional managers are masters of boasting. People with personalities like Li Yanhong and Ma Huateng definitely couldn't be professional managers, so they became big bosses directly.
Jensen Huang is different; he is both an entrepreneur and a professional manager. And whether it's innate or developed later, he has distinct personality traits in Silicon Valley.
"Can we visit your company?" He Zhengcheng
"Of course, but I can't accompany you. We're about to go public, and I'm too busy with many things." Jensen Huang
"It's fine, you go take care of your business." He Zhengcheng was introduced by Yang Zhiyuan. This time he brought a fellow countrywoman from Taiwan, but unfortunately, he himself didn't have enough influence. He was just a small venture capitalist short on cash.
An Nvidia project manager accompanied him. He Zhengcheng wanted to ask some professional questions to show his level, but unfortunately, even when buying graphics cards, he would only know what to buy by checking Baidu Tieba, Bilibili, and Zhihu. Even if he remembered various parameters, those would be parameters from twenty years later.
"Do you think our stock price will rise after we go public?" Employee A
"It should, NASDAQ is so hot right now!" Employee B
"But aren't many media discussing the internet bubble?" Employee C
"We are a chip company. Intel and AMD haven't risen much."
"Yeah, I'm really worried…" Employee D
"What are you worried about? Nvidia is an excellent company. In the long term, your development potential should be considered the best in this industry."
"Of course, in the short term, NASDAQ definitely has a bubble, but no one knows when this bubble will burst."
"And I don't know if Nvidia can use this bubble to grow stronger." He Zhengcheng heard some people discussing Nvidia's IPO, which he was very good at. So he interjected a few words.
"Who are you?" Employee A
"I'm Old Huang's new friend, and she's Old Huang's fellow countrywoman. I'm currently in charge of a small venture capital firm!" He Zhengcheng
"It's a pity you missed the opportunity; we're about to go public." Employee B
"There's nothing we can do about that. Our company is short on funds, but fortunately, our first entry into the America market was investing in eBay before its IPO." He Zhengcheng
"Then you guys are really lucky." Employee A
"Of course, that's why I wanted to try my luck at Nvidia." He Zhengcheng
"You want to invest in Nvidia now?" Project Manager Jarrett asked.
"As you are worried, I also don't know when the NASDAQ bubble will burst, so I'm a bit hesitant." He Zhengcheng
"If you were an Nvidia employee, what would you do?" Employee B
"It depends on the situation. If I'm confident I'll stay at Nvidia for 5 years or more, holding stock is the best option."
"If I'm unsure about my career, then it's troublesome. If the NASDAQ bubble bursts and we get laid off, how low will Nvidia's stock price fall then?" He Zhengcheng
"We at Nvidia will not lay off employees, and we have no such plans." Jarrett
"I believe you currently have no such plans and will recruit a large number of new employees after going public. However, have you noticed that Silicon Valley's demand for talent is extremely strong, to the point of being desperate?"
"This also brings many consequences. A large number of unqualified employees are recruited. Once the market declines, the NASDAQ bubble bursts, and Silicon Valley companies go bankrupt in large numbers, everyone will be laying off employees. Wouldn't Nvidia want to select a group of excellent employees from among them?" He Zhengcheng
"The company has no such idea!" Jarrett
Just as he was about to say something, Lin Zhiling pulled He Zhengcheng, telling him not to say too much. Alas, this foul mouth, why couldn't he hold it in, always offending people here.
After dropping his bombshells and leaving their discussion, He Zhengcheng chose to leave Nvidia a few minutes later.
"Why are you leaving in such a hurry!" Jensen Huang came out to see them off.
"I apologize. I said something wrong inside just now, which might cause you some trouble. I'm really sorry." He Zhengcheng
"What did you say?" Jensen Huang was not angry.
"I just said that the NASDAQ bubble might burst, and a group of companies in Silicon Valley would go bankrupt, at which point a large number of excellent talents would emerge."
"Even if Nvidia develops well, it might first lay off employees and then recruit even more excellent talents." He Zhengcheng
"You… your words…" Jensen Huang sighed. Although he was very good at graphics cards and had learned to manage a company, he still had his shortcomings.
He Zhengcheng's words sounded very reasonable. Recruiting more excellent new employees would be good for the company, but not necessarily for the existing employees.
There was a bubble in NASDAQ. One could clearly see its existence by observing how the stock prices and market values of companies like eBay and Yahoo had increased tenfold in less than half a year.
Of course, when most people realize there's a bubble, it might continue to ferment. Capital will use its financial advantage to push the bubble even higher. When most people lose their rationality and rush into the market, they might find themselves standing on the peak of Sinopec at 48 yuan.
The NASDAQ was no different. Next year's frenzy should appear, so He Zhengcheng did not sell any shares of Yahoo or eBay.
