Chapter 226 The Oracle Press Conference is held
Su Cheng did not immediately tell Zhang Zhongmou about the idea of inviting Zhang Zhongmou to join his team because it was not the time yet.
Inviting him at this time will not reveal the details of Oracle Computer.
Since Yang Chaoye felt that it needed to be kept secret, Su Cheng would naturally not tell it in advance.
Building a semiconductor company requires starting from scratch. Without enough attraction, there is no way Zhang Zhongmou would just resign and work with him.
According to the development trend of another world, Zhang Zhongmou would not really leave Texas Instruments until 1983.
In 1983, at the age of 52, Zhang Zhongmou left Texas Instruments, where he had worked for 26 years, and joined General Instrument, another semiconductor manufacturer, as president.
Unfortunately, the enterprising Zhang Zhongmou aroused fierce opposition from the management of General Instrument, and finally resigned from General Instrument.
Until 1985, at the invitation of Wanwan, he went to Wanwan to serve as the director of the Industrial Technology Research Institute.
TSMC was founded in 1987.
In 1987, Zhang Zhongmou founded the world's first professional foundry company, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), in the Hsinchu Science Park, and quickly developed into the leader of the Taiwan Semiconductor Industry.
Now, it is only 1978, almost 5 years before he leaves Texas Instruments.
So, his intention to leave is definitely not very strong. After all, Texas Instruments is where he has worked for most of his life.
Of course, more importantly, he has not found his real way out yet.
So, only if enough conditions impress him, will he be willing to resign from Texas Instruments and go to Hong Kong to work with him.
Zhang Zhongmou had just arrived by plane and needed to rest, so after the three of them finished eating, Su Cheng said goodbye to them and went directly back to the hotel on Wall Street.
Back at the hotel, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Early tomorrow morning, Yang Chaoye will hold his first press conference after joining the Su Group at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York.
This press conference is destined to be a highly anticipated press conference.
Su Cheng immediately finished washing and fell asleep.
Su Cheng got up at six o'clock the next morning.
The press conference will be held at 8 o'clock in the morning Eastern Time in the United States and 8 o'clock in the evening Hong Kong time.
When Su Cheng finished his breakfast and asked the driver to take him to the Metropolitan Opera House, it was already 7:30 in the morning.
At this time, many cars of various brands were parked in the parking lot of the Metropolitan Opera House, and there were many staff guiding everyone to the theater where the press conference was held.
The most eye-catching thing is the nearly thirty buses.
The New York University logo is printed on the bus. Obviously, these are New York University school buses.
More than a thousand students from NYU’s School of Engineering Information are already in place.
In addition, there are many cars with media logos printed on them, such as the New York Times, ABC TV, BC TV, Fox News Channel, The Washington Post, BBC, etc.
The advertisement promoted by Yang Chaoye: "The birth of a leap-forward technological product, a press conference for technological change."
With Yang Chaoye's prestige in the industry, it naturally attracts everyone of attention.
For this kind of thing, you would rather believe it or not, just participate.
Su Cheng didn’t stop there. After asking the driver to park the car, he went directly to the theater where the press conference was held.
When we arrived at the theater, there were already many people inside.
The entire venue can accommodate four thousand people, so more than a thousand people will not seem like too many people, but it is still a lot.
The reporters in the media area in front have already set up recording and broadcasting equipment, waiting for the press conference to be held.
Su Cheng walked directly to the backstage and quickly found Yang Chaoye who was sitting there. "Boss, you're here." Yang Chaoye greeted Su Cheng with a smile.
"Well, are you ready?" Su Cheng asked.
"Of course, even if you take the stage now, there will be no problem at all." Yang Chaoye nodded.
Su Cheng looked at the time, it was already 7:48 in the morning.
In the theater, people came in one after another.
For this press conference, Yang Chaoye invited AlliedUniversal, a very famous security company in the United States, to be responsible for the security issues of this press conference.
Su Cheng stood on the side of the stage and looked towards the audience.
I saw that in the front row of the auditorium, every seat had a seat name plate written on it.
IBM CEO Mr. Frank T. Cary, Texas Instruments Senior Vice President Mr. Zhang Zhongmou, Intel CEO Mr. Gordon Moore...
Everyone is a well-known big-shot figure in the technology industry, but they are gathered together at this time.
At this time, they were either whispering to each other, or sitting quietly waiting for the press conference to be held.
The media shouted that it was not in vain. Just gathering so many big guys was already a rare scene.
Some media have already taken photos of the big bosses with their cameras.
If it weren’t for the security in the media gallery to maintain order, they would have been eager to carry cameras to interview these big shots.
Su Cheng went directly to the auditorium with not many people on the side and sat down, waiting for the press conference to start.
In the beautiful country, Su Cheng is not well-known. Although many media have reported on him more or less, it was only for a short period of time, and after that, they no longer paid attention to him.
So, even if Su Cheng showed his true face and sat in the audience, no one noticed him.
Even if I saw him, I just thought he was a student of New York University, because Su Cheng was about the same age as a college student.
Not long after Su Cheng sat down, the time came to 7:58 in the morning.
Suddenly, all the lights in the theater dimmed.
Just when everyone thought something had happened, a few small lights lit up again.
Although it is not very bright, everyone can clearly see the situation of the seats through the small lights, which makes them feel relieved.
Some emergencies often happen here, so everyone is still very sensitive to safety issues.
At this time, a movie projector in the seats suddenly shot out a beam of light, shining on the big curtain on the stage.
In the big curtain, a logo appeared, which was the logo of Oracle Computer Company.
The five characters "Oracle Technology" written in Chinese oracle bones, with an orange logo, are very eye-catching.
Everyone was confused. Are you here to watch a movie?
Using a movie projector for a press conference was suggested to Yang Chaoye by Su Cheng. It was the first of its kind in the world.
Originally, a projector was naturally the most suitable, but now there is no such projector in later generations, so naturally a movie projector can be used instead.
Before the press conference begins, many pictures have been produced and recorded on film. When the press conference begins, someone will be responsible for playing and pausing, and they will be able to control the pictures required for the press conference.
Such a press conference is definitely an innovation in this era.
Both pictures and texts, coupled with Yang Chaoye’s explanation, can introduce this product to you more intuitively.
