Chapter 93: Tan Ya's Candidate

  "Genius Idea of Magical Girl."

  "Unbelievable achievement... Is Edson really only 16 years old? Why do I think she's already 60?"

  "Damn it, she's going to get us all fired!"

  Just after Z80's announcement, Silicon Valley was in an uproar. However, more people became interested in Intel Corporation.

  In this era, the vast majority of people in the semiconductor industry are truly dreamers who own their dreams. Because they have young people with their own dreams, they are in their 20s and 30s, vigorous and promising, working hard for their dreams.

  And in their view, Intel is now obviously a good place for them to realize their dreams. Before, it was Xilinx, now it's Intel, and Katherine believes that for a very long time in the future, it will still be Intel.

  Seymour Cray's conflicts with the company were becoming more serious, but had not yet reached a breaking point.

  But there are big problems inside Xiantong company.

  This former semiconductor king is full of contradictions. Although it still makes a profit on the surface, and even in semiconductors, Intel has to avoid its edge, but Xilinx is heading towards self-destruction.

  To be honest, at this time many companies that were once very successful are self-destructing. Catherine is also aware of this fact, although she thinks it's immoral to push people from behind, but she doesn't want to see those talents run away.

  For example, Catherine did not forget to write letters to Nois and Moore. Although she was a little guilty of stealing "Moore's Law", it did not prevent her from digging at the foot of the wall.

  After all, they were originally Intel's team in the parallel world. After losing confidence in Xiantong, they left and founded a new company.

  Another company that imploded was Wang Laboratories. Wang An was a Chinese-American and one of the top five richest men in America, but his company also self-destructed. Of course, that was in the 90s, and now Wang's computer company is still at the starting point. However, Catherine felt that acquiring this company would be somewhat difficult, and there were signs that antitrust regulators had Intel in their sights, ready to strike at any moment.

  This era is when the US anti-monopoly is the most severe, if you're not careful, it'll be a tragedy.

  "Alright... done."

  Catherine knew the general trend of the world, although she may not have known more delicate things so clearly, but she could tell those engineers about the future development of hardware, and let them not go astray.

  Moreover, Catherine's grasp of theory was sufficient to lead them forward into the future.

  "Kate!"

  Just as Catherine was thinking in her bedroom, a shout came from outside the window.

  "Lisa?"

  Catherine looked back and it was just Lisa, Jenny and Ida.

  She immediately went over and opened the door, then let them in.

  "Hey Kate, you're back and didn't even tell us!" Lisa exclaimed, hugging Katherine.

  "Sorry, I was too busy and forgot... Where's Lily?"

  Catherine suddenly found that Lily seemed to be gone.

  Her grades aren't very good... Last test didn't reach 70 points...

  In the US, there are not only ABCD ratings but also scores. SAT is one example. At Griel Girls' Middle School, students who scored below 70 had to receive individual tutoring... so Lili was lucky enough to stay in school.

  "What?"

  Lisa suddenly discovered something was wrong, but Catherine was quick on her feet.

  "Ah, Elsa!"

  Catherine called Elsa out.

  "This is Elsa, a good friend I made in England. I think you'll like her." Catherine pushed Elsa forward to meet them.

  "Oh, what a lovely girl."

  "Ailsa, they are my friends, I told you about them before. This is Lisa, Jenny and Ada."

  "Hello, Elsa."

  "Hello everyone."

  Then they can be considered as having met each other.

  "What have you been up to lately, Kate?" Ida asked.

  "This."

  Catherine handed her script over to them.

  "Red Alert?"

  Aida seems more interested in this.

  "It seems like a pretty good script." Ida looked interested.

  At this moment, Catherine suddenly lit up in front of her eyes.

  Isn't the heroine...Aida just right?

  Tall stature, healthy complexion, beautiful appearance...... Hey! It's really possible!

  Catherine has arrived.

  "Aida, want to give it a try?"

  "What?"

  She asked strangely.

  "Female lead! Tan Ya!"

  Catherine smiled.

  "Me?" She raised an eyebrow, seeming also very interested.

  "Can I... really?"

  She asked.

  "That's right! Ida, you can do it!"

  Catherine nodded desperately.

  Aida has always hoped that she could go to Hollywood and make movies. She also took pictures of Blair the Witch... But... But... Can I really do it?

  This is the heroine!

  When it came to her own head, she hesitated a bit.

  "That's right! Ida, you can do it!"

  Catherine smiled.

  "That's right, give it a try, maybe it'll be great!" Jenny and Lisa also urged.

  "Then I... will give it a try!"

  Catherine nodded: "I'll go call Cara Santino now, she's the director of this film, maybe she'll think it's great too."

  Catherine immediately called over.

  Karasanto said that he would see if Aida was suitable for the film, and if not, he would reject her outright. But if she was suitable, he would consider it. Moreover, according to the script's requirements, Karasanto demanded that the girl must be able to endure hardship and accept training.

  These issues had already been considered by Catherine when she was writing the script.

  Finally, Ada also expressed her agreement, she probably really likes acting now.

  "Kate, your shoes are really beautiful..." Jenny suddenly noticed something.

  "By the way, I heard that London's flagship store also launched a pair of high heels, and they look just like the ones you're wearing. I heard many people love them, but unfortunately, walking in them is quite a problem."

  Is it similar to ballet shoes?

  Catherine suddenly thought of donkey hoof shoes which would be extremely popular in the future.

  Ballet shoes and donkey hoof shoes have some kind of similarity... perhaps...

  But does he have donkey hoof shoes now? Catherine was uncertain. But she still spoke her mind.

  "It sounds good, but I still like this pair on your feet better."

  Lisa thought for a moment: "I also like horses, maybe I can consider making a pair of horse hoof boots?"

  Catherine shrugged.

  She made no comment.

  After all, every era has its own popular trends. Going against the trend is a tragedy, and being ahead of the trend is also a tragedy.

  Even if it's a donkey hoof shoe, it's just the other person's idea anyway.

  "Maybe we can develop an animal series?" Jenny said.

  "That's right... but I think we should still ask Uncle Hormann." Lisa thought for a moment and finally said so.

  ……

  My phone fell into water, damn it...
