Chapter 144 Intel (Processor) Corporation

Gordon Moore looked at him and asked, "Carlos Stephen, what else do you want to say?"

Carlos Stephen took a breath, glanced at everyone, and asked in a deep voice: "I want to ask everyone, if the Intel microprocessor is worthless, why would the other party buy it?"

Everyone was stunned, yes, the performance of Intel microprocessors in the market is extremely poor, why did the other party buy it?The other party is not stupid...

Carlos Stephen didn't wait for everyone to answer, and continued: "Personal computers are developing rapidly, and microprocessors must be the future direction of development. Even if the Intel microprocessor department is not making money for the company now, we must persist! The reason why the other party To acquire our microprocessor department is nothing more than recognizing the huge development potential of this market! Therefore, we must not hand over our microprocessors to other companies. If we sell them, Intel will regret it !!!”

When Carlos Stephen spoke at the end, he couldn't help shouting loudly.

The crowd fell silent for a while.

"Having said that, firstly, our microprocessors cannot compete with other companies, and secondly, personal computers are still a niche market, expensive, and only a small number of people can afford them. Instead of continuing to waste money and money on things with uncertain prospects In terms of material resources, it is better to concentrate on the development of memory. Right now, RB electronics manufacturers are aggressively catching up with Intel. In order to ensure our technological leadership, we must concentrate on developing memory!!!" The memory development manager suggested.

When everyone heard the words, they nodded.

"Yeah, let alone whether there is a huge development prospect for microprocessors in the future, even if there are, Intel microprocessors will definitely be able to develop. The current market is full of Mos6502 and Z80, and there are Motorola microprocessors, Intel's microprocessors were almost nobody's business."

"Intel's current enemy should be the electronics manufacturers of RB! In recent years, the RB government has vigorously encouraged the development of the electronics industry, making RB's electronics industry develop rapidly. Panasonic, Hitachi, Toshiba and other companies have caused a lot of damage to Intel. Big threat!"

"Memory revenue accounts for more than 90% of Intel's revenue, and microprocessor revenue is less than 5%. For the company, it doesn't matter. If you sell the microprocessor division this time, you can just get a fund to increase the memory research and development!"

"..."

The vast majority of people are in favor of selling Intel's microprocessor division, and the arguments are hard to argue against.Carlos Stephen was physically and mentally exhausted, he could only keep silent.

As they say, even if microprocessors hold great promise, so what? No one cares about Intel's microprocessors.

There are many businesses with promising prospects in this world, but it is impossible to judge whether they can beat their opponents and become winners. Just like everyone knows that TVs are very profitable, but most of the profits are made by RB manufacturers. American TV Machine manufacturers have closed down.

When you can't compete, it is also a wise choice to choose to give up in time!

Gordon Moore announced at this time: "Then contact Donghuang Technology Company!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help applauding.

Carlos Stephen shook his head and sighed when he saw that the situation was gone.

……

……

Donghuang Technology Company, Qin Feng soon received a call from Gordon Moore, and when he learned that the other party agreed to negotiate, his face immediately showed joy.Later, he immediately called Dongfang Yuqin to inform him of the matter.

"Dongfang Yuqin, good news, Intel has agreed to negotiate! Since the other party has agreed to negotiate, I am [-]% sure that the acquisition will be successful!" Qin Feng said confidently.

Dongfang Yuqin reminded: "Mr. Li attaches great importance to Intel's microprocessor department, even if the other party asks for a higher price, he will still buy it!"

Qin Feng nodded and said, "Understood, you can rest assured!"

At this time, the microprocessor department of Intel Corporation was in a state of panic. They did not expect the company to sell them, which was simply too chilling.However, when I think that my department has not been profitable, and even lost money in recent months, it seems that being sold is a preordained result.

"It is said that the acquisition of Intel's microprocessor department for 5000 million U.S. dollars must have strong strength, but what kind of company is Donghuang Technology Company, have you never heard of it before?"

"I don't know. It's probably a rich man or industry giant who didn't want to reveal his identity, so he created such an offshore company to control it behind the scenes."

"This is a bit like Chronos Li's style. He used overseas offshore companies to create Apple and Microsoft, and it was clearly written in the newspapers!"

"It's a bit like..."

"Hahaha, if he really bought our department, I'm really looking forward to it!"

"..."

The employees whispered to each other.

Li Zetian was lying on the gun, this shit can also guess.

……

The next day, Qin Feng took the company's negotiating team to Intel's headquarters, and the two sides negotiated.

The content of the negotiations is unknown to outsiders.

After several rounds of intense negotiations, after half a month, the two parties finally reached an acquisition agreement.

Donghuang Technology Company acquired Intel's microprocessor division for US$6000 million, including talents, patents, technology, equipment and factories.At the same time, the acquisition of the past microprocessor division is allowed to continue to use the Intel trademark, and the company name is also called Intel Corporation.For example, there are now two independent Intel companies, one is the production of memory - Intel (memory) company; the other is the production of microprocessors - Intel (processor) company.Moreover, the two parties signed an agreement not to set foot in each other's industries!

There is no better example of this model than Rolls-Royce. In 1971, Rolls-Royce went bankrupt, and the British government intervened to divide Rolls-Royce into two companies, one producing Rolls-Royce cars and the other. One produced aero engines, and finally both became industry giants.

Two companies use the same brand, which can increase brand awareness, which is beneficial to both parties.However, the last agreement not to set foot in each other's industry was specially proposed by Li Zetian. At the end of the 70s, the memory market will be occupied by RB electronics manufacturers. The opponent has strong government support, good technology, and low price. Intel cannot compete with the opponent.Li Zetian's purpose is to drive Intel (memory) to a dead end and then acquire it.Both memory and microprocessors involve semiconductor chips, and many technical aspects are related. The complete Intel company is the one that really scares the enemy.

Intel (processor) company has more than 100 engineers, and soon moved out from the original Intel company.

Qin Feng has rented an office building for Intel (processor) company in Santa Clara, California.

On the first day the company moved here, Qin Feng went here to appease everyone and boost morale!
"Hi everyone, I'm Qin Feng, CEO of Donghuang Technology Co., Ltd. I'm here to tell you two things. First, I hope that everyone can stay here and work with peace of mind. The salary will be increased by 5% compared with the original; second, Donghuang Technology The company will fully support everyone in developing the Intel 8086 microprocessor, no matter how much it costs, our goal is to build Intel (processor) into the largest processor empire in the world, and let all computers use our products!!!”

clap clap clap!
Everyone applauded one after another, excited.

The microprocessor department was not valued at first, and its performance was not good. The employees' income was lower than that of other departments, and they felt like they were dwarfs in the company.Well now, the parent company actually values ​​microprocessors so much, it feels so good to be valued!

On the second day after Qin Feng left Intel (processor) company, he went to Li Zetian's villa in person to report on his work.

Before, he had only heard about Li Zetian by name, but had never seen him in person. Now that he could see the real person, he was very excited.

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, he arrived at his destination.

When they met for the first time, Li Zetian gave him a warmer impression than he imagined, like an ordinary person, without the feeling of superiority.

"Mr. Li, hello, I'm Qin Feng!"

"Haha, Qin Feng, hello. The talents introduced by Dongfang Yuqin are really good, and the acquisition of Intel's microprocessor department has performed well this time!"

"Thank you Miao Zan, I dare not take it seriously. If there is no strong financial support, this acquisition plan cannot be completed! In addition, Intel itself plans to give up the Intel microprocessor department, which makes this acquisition so smooth! However, Mr. Carlos Stephen, the head of the microprocessor department, has resigned, which is a bit regrettable. At present, the CEO position of Intel (processor) company is vacant, do you have a new CEO candidate?"

"I think it's best to select someone from the company, who must understand both technology and management!" Li Zetian thought for a while, and said, "Just let them vote for someone internally. They know each other, and they should be able to choose someone." Choose the best candidate…”

"Well, then I will arrange it according to your instructions!"

……

If we talk about the technical strength of microprocessors, there is no doubt that Intel (processor) company is number one in the world.The world's first microprocessor 4004 was developed by Intel Corporation, and the 8-bit microprocessor 8080 launched later can be called a milestone product in the history of microprocessors, setting off a revolution in the personal computer industry!
When the news of the sale of Intel's microprocessor division spread, it caused shock in the industry, and Mos Technology and Zilog breathed a sigh of relief.

The CEO of Zilog said to his employees with a smile: "Intel Corporation gave up the microprocessor department and sold it to an unknown company casually. It seems that the glory of Intel microprocessors is about to become a thing of the past! Let’s work together and let Zilog create a new era of processors!!!”

As soon as he finished speaking, several engineers walked up to him embarrassedly and took out their resignation letters from their pockets.

"Mr. Dennis, the few of us are planning to resign..." said one of the leaders.

CEO Caleb Dennis was stunned, "I didn't hear wrong, did you say that you guys are going to resign?!"

"Yes, Mr. Caleb Dennis!"

Caleb Dennis took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked, "Where are you going after you resign?"

Several people looked at each other, and one of them replied: "Intel (processor) company!!!"

I just said that the Intel microprocessor is about to become a thing of the past, and in a blink of an eye, it hits the face. Intel (processor) company has gone to Zilog company to poach people, and there are several core engineers in one poaching!
Caleb Dennis' face suddenly became gloomy, and he vaguely felt an invisible huge pressure coming towards him...
