Rebirth of the internet boss

Chapter 239 I Never Joke!

"If one day in the future, AMD sells its fab and handheld device division, I hope AMD can sell us Fengrui!"

What? ! !

It is a daydream for Fengrui to dare to acquire AMD's wafer fab and handheld device division!

Dirk Mayer laughed out loud and said, "Mr. Li Feng, this joke is not funny!"

It was still "Leo", "Leo" just now, but now it is called directly by its first name, and it is directly called "Mr. Li Feng".

Li Feng also ignored Dirk Meyer's slightly mocking expression, and said with a serious face, "I never joke when it comes to business, I'm absolutely serious, and I just want a promise from you,
Promise that if one day in the future, if you are in charge of AMD, if AMD also happens to want to sell its fab or handheld device department, under the same price and conditions, I hope AMD can sell us Fengrui! "

Dirk Mayer waved his hand directly and refused, "This is impossible!"

Li Feng was not angry, and said calmly, "Mr. Dirk Mayer, I mean if..."

Before Li Feng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Dirk Mayer.

At this time, Dirk Mayer's face drooped, and he said directly and coldly: "Mr. Li Feng, then I will tell you seriously, AMD will never sell its fab and handheld device division! "

Li Feng was not angry, and said directly with a smile on his face: "Mr. Dirk Mayer, don't be so absolute about everything, no one can tell in the future! And I also heard that AMD is planning to acquire ATI (the world famous display company) chip manufacturers)!"

"How do you know?" Mayer panicked.

AMD wants to acquire ATI is the company's top secret!How could Fengrui, who is far away in China, know?Does the company have internal spies?No way, this is the strategy that the company just formulated two days ago!

It was Li Feng who said again: "Isn't that what you told me! At first I was just skeptical, but now I'm sure!
But Mayer, don't worry, only I, Li Feng, know about this, and I won't tell anyone else, who told us to be friends, but I still want you to make a promise! "

Was scammed?Mayer was messed up all of a sudden!
It’s just that Mayer still can’t understand why Fengrui is obsessed with its own fab and handheld device department.

In this regard, Mayer asked in puzzlement: "Leo, I don't know why you are so obsessed with our fab and handheld device department. Our AMD is doing so well now, why should we sell the fab and handheld device department?" ,
Don't you know what fabs mean to the semiconductor industry?Let’s not talk about whether you can afford Fengrui, but just because you are a Chinese, it is impossible for the US Department of Commerce to approve this acquisition. What’s more, I am not the CEO of AMD yet, so I can’t give you this promise! "

Regarding this, Li Feng smiled and said: "So I said just now that if, and as long as you make a promise, I won't write it into the contract. Only God knows, you know, I know,
I need if there is such a day, if you are also the CEO of AMD, if AMD sells its fab or handheld device department, I hope you can choose Fengrui. As for the external factors of the US Department of Commerce, we do not Make it hard for AMD, we'll sort it out ourselves. "

If it's just a promise, so what if you agree, just like what Li Feng said, even if it's really sold to Fengrui in the future, so what!Not to mention that this is just an unfounded assumption!
Thinking of this, Dirk Meyer also figured it out, and agreed: "Okay! If that's the case, what's the point of agreeing to you, I just hope that you can choose our AMD chip for this Fengrui customized server."

Li Feng also replied happily: "That's for sure. After all, are we friends? I, Li Feng, have always supported friends' appeals, and I also hope that we can reach multi-faceted cooperation in the future!"

The reason why Li Feng is obsessed with AMD's wafer fab and handheld device department is because these two are indeed treasures. Besides, expecting Fengrui to develop chips from scratch is undoubtedly a dream. Is there anything faster than the acquisition!
It's just that the acquisition of this core technology has to pass the hurdle of the US government, which is indeed still a problem!
Regarding AMD's future, Li Feng couldn't be more clear about it. The company is just like an individual, facing different choices every day, and some choices can even affect a person's life!
In fact, all technology giants also encounter decisions that affect their own future from time to time. For example, AMD will spend 2006 billion US dollars to acquire ATI in 54, and wants to create a super future processor APU (CPU central processing unit + GPU graphics processor),

But the ideal is beautiful, the reality is very skinny, and the result is very tragic. AMD only sees the benefits of the integration of CPU and GPU, but does not see changes in the competitive landscape.

Originally, in the CPU market, the leader was Intel and the second was AMD; in the GPU market, the leader was Nvidia and the second was ATI. Everyone competed and cooperated with each other, and they were all in peace. However, after AMD acquired ATI, the PC market structure was also broken. up.

After the formation of the AMD-ATI alliance, AMD became the enemy of Intel and Nvidia at the same time. Just like when you wrestle with two people with two hands at the same time, you are always at a disadvantage and stretched.

Originally in the chipset market, Nvidia provided AMD with a good performance integrated chipset, and finally became an enemy because of the competition of GPU (graphics processing unit) and no longer cooperated; originally ATI provided Intel with a good performance integrated chipset, but also because of CPU ( central processing unit) and become enemies,
AMD had to compete with different powerful enemies on the two lines of CPU and GPU. Originally, AMD’s R&D resources and market resources were not dominant. In addition, the newly launched APU effect did not achieve 1+1>2 results at all. What's more, there is a huge debt of up to 54 billion U.S. dollars, coupled with the saturation of the PC market and the advent of the financial crisis,
AMD had to "break the arm of a strong man", and since then it has gone on the road of "selling, selling, selling", first selling its own fab, and later selling the handheld device department, as well as the headquarters building... that is a " Miserable" is a great word.

And the fab sold by AMD, although it is more "bad", but at least it is the second largest foundry chip manufacturer after TSMC, GlobalFoundries!
The receiver of AMD's handheld device department happened to be the big brother in the mobile device market: Qualcomm.

Originally, Qualcomm was just a communication giant. After obtaining AMD's advanced handheld device technology, it perfected the last piece of the puzzle.
And Qualcomm has become the overlord of mobile CPUs in this era. Even Intel and Nvidia, which AMD has been unable to beat, are infinitely envious of Qualcomm's scenery in the mobile field, and all of this is precisely given by AMD.

It's just that Dirk Mayer will never know this, and when he was in charge of AMD, his own position was: the fire captain!Survival is AMD's number one priority!
Even, when Mayer was about to leave now, she still felt that Li Feng was thinking too much, a bit whimsical!

While Li Feng was standing in front of the window, watching Mayer go away, he also sighed, AMD because of the ebb and flow of a decision, the importance of a company's decision, if the direction is wrong, no matter how much effort is made, it will be useless!
From this, Li Feng even thought: If he loses his grasp of the future, what should he do with himself and his sharpness!
