Chapter 143 Initiate an acquisition of Intel Corporation! !
Li Zetian continued: "Intel's current main business is memory, and they don't pay much attention to microprocessors. In addition, Intel's recent microprocessors have suffered from Waterloo. Therefore, it is time to acquire Intel's microprocessor department. The best chance!!!"

"Mr. Li, are you asking me to prepare to acquire Intel now?" Dongfang Yuqin asked.

"Yes. However, it is best not to let outsiders know that Time Technology is going to acquire it. Time Technology, as a parent company, hides behind the scenes and acquires Intel's microprocessor in the name of Time Technology's overseas offshore subsidiary. There is already a company named 'Donghuang Technology' under the Times Technology Company, let's buy it in its name!" Li Zetian thought for a while, and then said, "Time Technology Company and Donghuang Technology Company are both empty. Shell company, you go to Los Angeles first, and set up the offices of the two companies there! Remember to build them separately, so as not to arouse people's suspicion. Your task now is not only to prepare for the team of Times Technology, but also for Donghuang Technology Build a team, and when you acquire other companies in the future, you don’t need to personally act, you just need to give orders, and then Donghuang Technology will send people to complete the acquisition plan.”

"Understood, then I will go to work now!" Dongfang Yuqin nodded and stood up from the chair. The document Li Zetian handed her just now included the information of Donghuang Technology Company.

"En." Li Zetian responded.

Dongfang Yuqin put the documents on the table, turned and left.

Ten days later, Dongfang Yuqin recruited a small elite team of 10 people for Donghuang Technology Company, of which 9 were recruited from Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of California, Berkeley, and the other She graduated from Cambridge University with an MBA and is also her senior - Qin Feng.

Qin Feng is 28 years old, tall, about 185cm, sporty and handsome. He used to work in Citibank.Dongfang Yuqin knew that this senior had excellent ability and character, so she decided to invite him to help her.At first, he couldn't invite him, but finally, with Li Zetian's permission, he revealed to Qin Feng that she was working for Li Zetian. Qin Feng became interested and agreed to quit.

Today's Li Zetian has become the pride of the Chinese, and Wang An has been dumped dozens of blocks by him.Moreover, Li Zetian’s reuse of Chinese is obvious to all, such as Tian Shuai and Zhang Han of Apple, Li Meisheng of Apple’s Monster Headphone Company, Wu Guangguang of Sunbird Company, etc. Therefore, many Chinese are very willing to work under him.

Indeed, there are more Chinese people in the company under Li Zetian's name, and it has almost become a concentration camp for Chinese elites. Of course, this ratio is far less than that of white people as a whole.

……

……

Donghuang Technology Co., Ltd.

Dongfang Yuqin held a meeting with Qin Feng and other members of the company.

"Donghuang Technology's first goal is to acquire Intel's microprocessor division! Here's the information, let's take a look first."

Dongfang Yuqin distributed the information to everyone.

The conference room became quiet, and everyone was seriously reading the documents.

After 10 minutes, Dongfang Yuqin continued to speak, "Since everyone has read the information, they must have understood the target we want to acquire. Qin Feng, how do you think this acquisition plan should be completed?"

Qin Feng pondered for a while and replied: "I think, since Intel doesn't pay much attention to the microprocessor department, I think we can directly initiate a purchase offer to it. As long as the price is right, the other party has no reason not to sell it to us."

"How much is the estimate?" Dongfang Yuqin asked.

"Analyzing from the data, I think 5000 million US dollars is enough. If it is purchased at a premium, it will never exceed 6000 million US dollars! So far, Intel has produced a total of five microprocessors: 4004, 4040, 8008, 8080, 8085. However, except for the 8080 microprocessor, which was adopted by Apple’s first-generation computer Apple-l, which greatly increased its sales, the rest of the products are basically in a state of no one’s interest. Even the best-selling The 8080 microprocessor can't bring much revenue to Intel. In 1976, due to the double attack of the two microprocessors, Mos6502 and Z80, the annual sales of Intel's entire microprocessor department may be less than 1000 million US dollars. .”

Dongfang Yuqin nodded, she also meant the same, waved the check, and went directly to the door to buy.

"Does everyone mean the same?" She looked at the others and asked.

Everyone nodded.

Dongfang Yuqin said with a final word: "If that's the case, then immediately initiate an acquisition from Intel!!!"

"Yes!!!"

As soon as the meeting ended, Qin Feng immediately called Gordon Moore, the founder of Intel.

"Hello, Mr. Gordon Moore, I'm Qin Feng, CEO of Donghuang Technology Corporation! On behalf of Donghuang Technology Corporation, I formally initiate an acquisition offer to Intel Corporation, spending 5000 million US dollars to acquire Intel Corporation's microprocessor department!"

Gordon Moore was stunned for a moment, he had never heard of Donghuang Technology Company at all.However, this did not prevent him from thinking about this matter.

"Mr. Qin, I will hold a meeting to discuss this matter later. After the meeting is over, I will give you an answer!" Intel's microprocessor suffered from Waterloo, and the future is bleak. Gordon Moore is not optimistic about microprocessors development of.

"Ok!"

Immediately after the call ended, Gordon Moore called a meeting.

At the meeting, he looked at Carlos Stephen, Intel's microprocessor division, and said: "Carlos Stephen, I just received a call, and the other party claimed to acquire Intel's microprocessor division. I want to hear your opinion. .”

Carlos Stephen was surprised when he heard this, he was silent for a while, and said: "I think Intel's microprocessor technology is at the top level in the world. Because the other side strikes late, such as the Z80 microprocessor, it is slightly improved on the basis of the 8080, thus becoming more powerful than the 8080. At present, the Intel microprocessor department is developing the Intel8086, which will be the world's first 16-bit The microprocessor marks the advent of the third generation of microprocessors, and its performance is much stronger than that of 8-bit microprocessors, and we will beat all competitors in the market. Therefore, Intel's microprocessors can still win back the market!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately asked, "Excuse me, Carlos Stephen, what is the price of the Intel 8086?"

"Probably $360."

"Then how much are the prices of Mos6502 and Z80?"

Carlos Stephen looked embarrassed and didn't answer.

The man immediately asked: "Carlos Stephen, as the head of Intel's microprocessor department, you don't even know the selling price of your competitors?"

After a while, Carlos Stephen replied hesitantly: "It's less than $25..."

The person who asked the question smiled and said: "Everyone, now I will give you a multiple-choice question, a product with excellent performance, but the price is 360 US dollars; a product with average performance, barely enough, but the price is less than 25 US dollars. Excuse me, which product would you choose?"

Needless to say, everyone also chooses the cheaper product.

In other words, when Intel launched a 16-bit microprocessor, it would still fail, so everyone expressed their opinions.

"Who would buy such an expensive microprocessor? It is doomed to fail. In my opinion, it is better to sell the Intel microprocessor as soon as possible, so as not to waste the company's research and development funds!"

"That's right, it will save trouble if you sell it earlier. Besides, microprocessors don't make much money, so Intel can just concentrate on developing memory!"

"..."

Listening to their conversation, Carlos Stephen's face was ugly, and his heart gradually sank.

Gordon Moore saw that everyone agreed, so he announced: "Since everyone agrees to sell the Intel microprocessor division, it is so decided. I will contact Donghuang Technology Company later!"

"Wait, Mr. Moore, I still have something to say!!!"

Carlos Stephen stood up suddenly.
