Chapter 35 So That's It!
Well, there is no food for the cat at home.
Cats only eat meat, and it has to be the kind without salt.
"You wait at home for a while!"
Cao Shen picked up his coat, thought about it, and pointed to his bed:
"It's warm here."
The little milk cat stood still. Cao Shen walked to the bed, pulled back the quilt, made a nest, and patted the mattress:
"Come on, come here, you sleep here, I'll be back soon!"
The little cat hesitated for a moment, then came over and jumped on the bed.
"Hey, it's so easy to lie!"
Cao Shen rushed to the door, opened a crack, and got out, fearing that the kitten would take advantage of this opportunity to escape.
It's 8:30 in the evening, and the pet shop shouldn't be closed yet!
I have an impression! There is a pet shop nearby. Where is it?
Forget it, I opened the map on my mobile phone and searched.
Um! I remember it was three and a half kilometers away, not far!
Just take a taxi and you'll be there in minutes!
So Cao Shen stayed downstairs for ten minutes with the cold wind blowing without a car.
"Senior sister, are you still in the office?"
"I'm in the CBD. What's wrong? Do you want to use a car? The car is in the basement of the office. But the driver is off work at the moment, so it will probably take some time to get there."
"No, no, I'll just ask."
Cao Shen hung up the phone.
"System, can you get me a driver's license?"
The certification expert system is online.
[Yes, you can open one in the official system, but you have to get the driver's license yourself or wait for it to be mailed. 】
"Get me one quickly."
Cao Shen took out the spare key and hurried into the basement.
It's bad if the pet shop closes late, it's winter.
Xu Jiajia put her hands in her sleeves and sighed quietly. It was another day without business.
It was a mistake to open a pet store here because it was cheap.
There are new residential buildings nearby, but few of the young people who live in the suburbs keep pets.
During the day, this place looks like a ghost street, not popular at all.
In the evening, everyone went back to their nest, but these migrant IT workers worked overtime and lived like dogs, so how could they have the energy to raise dogs?
I had known that the store would not open today, but I was still looking forward to a good start on the first day of the long holiday. (っ◔◡◔)っ
Just about to close the door, Zi!
A Passat braked suddenly on the road at the door.
As soon as the car door opened, a handsome man with long legs appeared!
...If there’s no business, it’s nice to have a handsome guy to keep your eyes on!
Is the peach blossom blooming this year?
Xu Jiajia was staring at Cao Shen when she saw someone walking straight towards her.
Coming! Coming!
My heart is pounding!
"Phew!" Caught up!
Cao Shen came all the way, fearing that people would close the door.
"You, what are you going to do..." Xu Jiajia grabbed the door handle, nervous.
"Is there anything for cats when I'm shopping?"
Double happiness!
"Yes, yes!" Xu Jiajia quickly opened the door and let Cao Shen in:
"Handsome, sir, what do you want to do? What do you want to buy?"
"What do cats need?"
"Is this your first time raising a cat?"
"Um!"
Big business!
"Daily necessities: cat litter box, cat litter, cat bowls. Cat food and canned staple food, as well as snacks, toys, and cat nests. How old is your cat?"
"Two months?"
"Oh, you can buy this kind of cat milk cake. Newly weaned cats can also drink some goat milk powder."
"Okay, here are some of the sand, basins, cans, and toys you mentioned."
Cao Shen paused: "It's better!"
"Hey, don't worry, we are all imported here, they are all good. What kind of cat litter does your cat like?"
"Are there any categories?"
"There are crystal ones, swelling ones, tofu sand, pine wood sand, and zeolite. But I suggest you use tofu sand. It's more convenient and you can flush the toilet directly."
"good!"
"Cat litter boxes should be fully enclosed, which is less smelly."
"good!"
Xu Jiajia rolled her eyes: "Do you want a cat climbing frame?" She bought one before but never sold it. It took up too much space and she didn't install it.
"Cat play?"
“It’s like a tree, tall, with a cat’s nest and a hammock on it.
Don’t cats like to climb high? This cat climbing frame can also sharpen their claws to avoid scratching your furniture. "
"Okay! Come on one."
"There are also cat teasing sticks, ones with rattling paper, fur balls, feathers..."
"Let's all have one!"
"Cans include staple foods and snacks." Xu Jiajia stepped aside, revealing a row of canned shelves full of cans.
Cao Shen directly pulled out a bag and swept it in with his arm:
"Please help me prepare the rest."
"Okay, okay!" Xu Jiajia laughed so hard that her little eyes almost disappeared.
After buying all the things on the floor, the bill was one thousand one hundred and twenty-three.
It’s more than what people spend, Cao Shen felt:
Pet supplies, great business!
A bunch of stuff filled the trunk, and there was really no room, so the cat litter box was placed on the back seat.
Cao Shen hummed a song and drove home with peace of mind:
I don’t know what the little kitty is doing. Will he be scared when I’m not at home? Is he thinking about me? It would be nice if there was a camera that could watch at any time...
Suddenly his eyes lit up and he patted the steering wheel, the Internet of Things!
I see!
Bianhe Semiconductor!
There is no HiSilicon in this world. The security video surveillance market is still dominated by two American companies, TI and Ambarella, both of which use ARM architecture chips.
ARM architecture has the advantage of human-computer interaction, but MIPS architecture has the advantage of machine-computer interaction.
Although MIPS has led to ecological fragmentation due to licensing issues, there is a market that is the future direction, and it is naturally a fragmented but highly promising direction.
Internet of Things!
Bianhe Semiconductor should develop in the direction of the Internet of Things!
Although it is now equivalent to 2011, the Internet of Things has not yet taken off and the concept is not hot.
But in 2020, it is a very popular field, and it is also based on the concept of artificial intelligence.
It can be said to be the most promising development direction in the future. Haven't you seen that the research reports of securities companies have compiled the Internet of Things according to the imagination of science fiction?
Smart home, smart home appliances, smart buildings, wearable devices, smart industry, smart city...
Various concepts are hyped up.
Especially with the concept of 5G, the Internet of Things has reached a climax in the investment circle.
And security video surveillance is an important application in the direction of the Internet of Things! Moreover, it is a large "fragment". By 2020, the market size of video surveillance equipment will be 20 billion US dollars worldwide.
And in China, it accounts for 40%.
Marginal integration can be used as a starting point!
MIPS architecture has a cost advantage because of its low licensing fee.
And judging from the performance of the current chip, MIPS architecture has better performance than ARM under the same power consumption.
Although this advantage of MIPS in the original world was later eliminated by ARM, it still exists now.
This is the time to switch from standard definition to high definition.
When the MIPS architecture was first designed, it was actually benchmarked against Intel. Although it cannot beat it, it can hit mid-to-high-end products in the embedded field. This is an opportunity!
Cut into video surveillance and take advantage of the transition from standard definition to high definition. This is the only chance for MIPS architecture to turn around!
In the original world, MIPS gradually declined and was acquired by two companies for $410 million in 2012.
Potential buyers at the time included Qualcomm, Broadcom, AMD, Google, etc.
However, Imagination won later, spending $60 million to acquire 82 patents and 160 employees. This company provides PowerVR GPU for Apple's ARM processor.
Another winner is an investment alliance called Bridge Crossing, which spent 350 million US dollars and took away 489 patents covering microprocessor design, SoC design and other technical fields.
And MIPS's long-term competitor ARM stood behind this investment alliance and invested 167.5 million US dollars.
It can be said that this is a meaningful acquisition.
There are still nearly two years left. What if there is a chance to acquire MIPS in the future...
Cao Shen held the steering wheel tightly, and his heart was in turmoil. In the semiconductor industry, patents are an extremely important threshold.
But he soon calmed down. The system determined that Bianhe Semiconductor would succeed, which was a decision made before he invested.
That means that he had no influence on this matter.
Bianhe was successful because Liu Jun came up with it himself.
So, although he was excited about the idea just now, if Liu Jun didn't think so, it only meant that either he was wrong, or he could find another way without following this idea.
Therefore, he couldn't let himself influence Liu Jun, so as not to lead him astray.
However, he still had to communicate with Liu Jun to see what he thought.
This is a verification of my own cognition and a feedback mechanism to improve my future investment judgment.
Cao Shen made up his mind that he would communicate with Liu Jun after he got home and settled the kitten. Well, use the system landline!
He moved a lot of spoils upstairs.
I have been away for so long, the kitten must miss me. Is he anxiously looking for me everywhere? Hahahaha.
I gently pushed open a crack in the door, and a pair of eyes slyly stuck to the crack.
Ah ah ah ah, my little princess is waiting for me at the door!
This feeling of being expected and remembered as soon as the door is opened hit Cao Shen hard.
Look!
These big eyes, tilting their heads, looking at me, as if saying: Why did you come back just now?
It's so cute!
It's all my fault! I came back late!
My old father, my love is overflowing!
Cao Shen opened the door: "Dad, I'm back!"
"giao!"
The kitten kicked its legs and took advantage of the opportunity to
slip and
run away!
Cao Shen turned back at the speed of light!
Almost hit his neck!
Where is the kitten!
Where is my cat! ! !
Crack, crack, crack, the sound of heartbreak.
"Meow, meow, meow, meow..." Cao Shen pinched his throat and called.
However, there was only a lonely response.
Just left like that?
I was abandoned? Was it teased?
Touched my belly, slept in my bed, and left without even eating a meal?
From the 16th floor to the first floor, and then up to the 33rd floor.
I didn't find it.
What a jerk!
Cao Shen was very angry and frustrated.
Alas, where did it go in the middle of winter...
Back at the door, I saw a lot of things being moved into the house.
Suddenly I felt that this room was too small, there was no place to even step.
Put the cans in the cupboard:
There were so many flavors, but I left without even trying them...
Let you run, let you not eat, make you angry to death!
Humph!
