Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2332: The Unexpected Acquisition of the Century
Tian Xuewei waved her hand and went out.

With Ji Donglai's return, the entire corporate spirit has been completely renewed, especially the old officials who used to secretly try to trip up Tian Xuewei have now become honest and hardworking.

In the past, whatever materials Tian Xuewei needed, she would have to ask for help from others or even Zhao Shuying in person. Now, these people just hand them in, and more people pick up their briefcases and resign voluntarily.

Ji Donglai persuaded more than 20 people to withdraw from a meeting. The remaining people knew that their qualifications were not as good as those of the people at the meeting, not to mention that Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing has already undergone complete transformation.

With Tian Xuewei's strength, the entire Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing began to innovate from the inside out. A large number of companies in the market began to recruit Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing. Every manager who left Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing became a target of hunting, including another global chip giant, Intel.

"Invite the actual controller of Yiyuan Zhizao to initiate a complete acquisition of Yiyuan Zhizao, especially all the stocks on the market, start!"

Inside a skyscraper in Shanghai, several men in suits put down their phones, and the entire market began to buy up Yiyuan Zhizao's stocks.

Half an hour later, Mr. Yu received a call from Shanghai.

"Intel, we have no plans to sell the company. What's going on? Who told you that?"

Looking at the phone number, Mr. Yu was a little surprised.

The production and operation of Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing have always been very stable, and there is no intention of selling it.

"Mr. Yu, our company is eyeing your semiconductor-related business. If your company is interested in selling this business, we would be very willing to acquire it. We have already sent your company the specific acquisition documents, and we have also formally invited your company to Shanghai for negotiations."

The representative of the other party said in a very sweet voice that Mr. Yu’s brain was not enough.

Mr. Yu asked his secretary to open the document and was very surprised when he saw the numbers on it.

It includes the light source factory in the west of Yakou Village, Yiyuan Chip's chip printer, chip manufacturing department, and semiconductor wafer factory.

Intel's offer was 120 billion US dollars, which was an exciting offer for everyone. Apart from Ji Donglai, Mr. Yu had the most shares at the moment. After thinking about it, Mr. Yu immediately called Ji Donglai.

At this time, in front of Ji Donglai, Zhao Shuying projected the company's stock market onto the big screen. From the opening, large-scale institutions began to buy and control the stock prices in the market.

"When the market opened today, our stock price was smashed, and then it was bought up by institutions on a large scale. It has been a long time since anyone has done this to our company's stock."

I guess someone is going to make something of our stock, so we have to be on guard.

Looking at the big data of the stock background, Zhao Shuying and his gang had worried faces. Before Ji Donglai could say anything, Mr. Yu called. Ji Donglai was slightly surprised, thought about it and told Mr. Yu to go and talk boldly.

"Found it. The wolf is coming. Intel is planning to launch a comprehensive acquisition of our semiconductor division. Mr. Yu has sent you the documents. Call those sovereign funds and ask them not to sell our shares. The rest can be discussed."

"Everyone... you have created a miracle. There are not many companies in this world that can be directly acquired by Intel, but we have done it. What we have to do next is to deal with everything that is about to happen and ensure that our normal work is not affected!"

When talking about being acquired by Intel, Ji Donglai showed a rare smile on his face.

In his two lifetimes, Ji Donglai has never met anyone from this old semiconductor company that was spun off from Fairchild Semiconductor, the world's first programmable chip manufacturer.

The sound that Ji Donglai liked to hear most in his previous life was the prompt sound of Intel chips. In everyone's eyes, using Intel chips is high-end, and AMD is synonymous with low-end computer chips.

At present, Yiyuan Zhizao's computer chips have been successfully used in Yiyuan Zhizao's computers. The entire market is being taken over by Chinese high-tech companies and its old rival AMD, and its business volume has plummeted.

A few years ago, Intel was the first to launch a restricted sales strategy against Ji Donglai's company. Unexpectedly, the other party would take the initiative to approach him. Ji Donglai knew that he was really successful.

"Boss Ji, Intel took action first. They took away the shares of several sovereign funds. We are in trouble!"

Ten minutes later, Zhao Shuying and various sovereign funds confirmed, and finally brought very bad news. This multinational giant had taken away the shares of several large institutions in advance before making the acquisition, and now only the shares of the Saudi sovereign fund are still firmly in its hands.

Including the circulating shares held by these shareholders, they just account for half. Once a base number is exceeded, Yiyuan Zhizao can only be privatized.

"Don't worry. It's just a small matter whether they are acquiring the company or extorting money from it. Mr. Yu should talk to them and find out where the bottom line is!" Facing the acquisition by this giant company, Ji Donglai was surprisingly calm this time.

The former members of Fairchild Semiconductor behind the other party are what Ji Donglai is most worried about. These people who came out of this company secretly form a huge alliance. If these companies really take action against Yiyuan Zhizao, the disaster for Yiyuan Zhizao will really come.

Mr. Yu immediately went to Shanghai. Facts proved that although Intel was old, it still had its foundation and its methods were very sophisticated.

At the entrance of the hotel, the vice president of Intel Asia shook hands with Mr. Yu. There were shutter clicks, and before Mr. Yu could understand what was going on, a group of people from the other side surrounded him and all of them entered the hotel.

Five minutes later, before Mr. Yu officially started negotiations with the other party's person in charge, an explosive piece of news had already flooded the Internet.

"Intel, the world's chip giant, announced the acquisition of Uni-Zhi Semiconductor's related business department for a total amount of nearly 110 billion US dollars. The actual controller of Uni-Zhi Manufacturing has secretly contacted Intel executives in Shanghai!"

As soon as a report was released, all media in the world quickly reprinted it. Not only did Yiyuan Zhizao's stock price hit the daily limit, but Intel's stock price, which had been plummeting, also soared wildly, rising by more than 60% in an instant, and was on the verge of surpassing its historical high.

"What does this company do? We haven't even negotiated yet, but the report has already been released. What's going on..."

Mr. Yu looked at the tablet computer with a very dark face.

The secretary immediately went to question the Intel representative, who acted very innocent and said that what the media wrote was none of their business and they should not come to them.

At the Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing headquarters, Ji Donglai was looking at the market quietly. Unlike Mr. Yu who was anxious, Ji Donglai was very calm.

"We will withdraw only when the overall profit exceeds 100%. We will throw out all our funds and let Old Yu sit back and relax. Don't worry!"

The big screen switched, and Intel's stock price in the U.S. stock market was still soaring. Ji Donglai took a glance and continued to hand the matter over to Zhao Shuying and his gang.

When Intel sent out the invitation document, Zhao Shuying was frantically buying up the other party's stocks in the U.S. stock market. Especially when the other party got the stocks from Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing Institution, Zhao Shuying also got Intel's stocks from the institution.

The capital market is now keeping a close eye on the stocks of the two companies, and anyone with money is starting to buy them crazily.

Since Intel's business has gradually shrunk, people have gradually lost confidence in this traditional chip giant. This time, the other party announced the acquisition of the semiconductor business manufacturing department of Yiyuan Zhizao, which is a big deal.

A factory that has successfully developed carbon-based chips, and has its own independent chip manufacturing process and chip equipment. 5nm high-end chips can be used as 2nm chips.

Existing mobile phone chips and various high-end chips are being used well in the market. The most important thing is that Ji Donglai's Yiyuan chip is being used more and more widely in the field of high-end servers. World-renowned large-scale server manufacturers are secretly contacting Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing.

In recent years, the cloud computing chips and AI server chips manufactured by Yiyuan Zhizao have been widely used around the world. Intel did not pay much attention to it in the early days, but when it found that manufacturers were replacing Intel's server chips with Yiyuan Zhizao's cloud computing chips, the other party became upset.

Even though Intel still has a dominant position in the application and manufacturing of server chips, the performance test results of Yiyuan Zhizao's cloud computing server chips far exceeded those of Intel's own chips. At this time, Intel panicked.

The easiest way to eliminate competitors is to acquire them. Suppression has long been proven to be useless in the face of Chinese high-tech companies. So a bold idea came up within Intel's top management.

But this time the competitors are panicking. Once the two companies reach a cooperation, the advantages of Nvidia and AMD will disappear, and each other will fill the last gap.

Not only that, even ASML's stock was affected. Once the news of Intel's acquisition of the relevant department of Uni-President Semiconductor was released, ASML's stock price plummeted, experiencing an unprecedented decline.

Yiyuan Zhizao's chip printer challenges the existence of the entire lithography process. Intel is a traditional chip giant and an American company. If these two companies come together, the dominant position of lithography machines in the chip manufacturing field will collapse in an instant. Within a few years, relying on Intel's influence in the White House and its dominance in the entire chip field, it will be no problem for Intel to be on par with the lithography process.

Besides, the pursuit of high-end manufacturing in the United States is a tradition, and they will pay for it secretly...

Just like that, the stock prices of all high-tech companies in the entire market related to lithography machines and chip manufacturing plummeted. Within one day, three trillion US dollars evaporated from the entire financial market, and the place was instantly filled with grief.

Domestic self-media companies reprinted this news on a large scale. Yiyuan Zhizao’s fans all rushed to Yiyuan Zhizao’s official website, expressing indignation that they would never sell domestic chip manufacturers.

"Ji Donglai, we always thought you were very strong-willed. If you dare to sell the chip department, I will never buy anything from you again. You are a bad person."
