Reborn since 1993

Chapter 533 Bundling
Nvidia today has not yet reached the era of the Seven Sisters of the American stock market. Nvidia, together with Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Tesla, has directly hijacked the entire American stock market, and even the entire Wall Street and Americans!
The total market value of these seven technology stocks exceeds 10 trillion US dollars. When the S&P 500 index composed of them rises, the entire Nasdaq celebrates. When they fall, the American stock market immediately becomes miserable.

Who are the investors who bought the stocks of these seven companies? A large number of middle-class families in America, major Wall Street institutions, insurance companies, Americans' 401K pension funds, state pension funds, teachers' pension funds, fire pension funds, New York State Police Pension Fund, etc., as well as overseas foundations, wealthy people, and investment institutions around the world have also bought their stocks.

These investors receive large dividends from these seven companies every year, and the numbers in their stock accounts rise accordingly, so America will not allow the stock prices and market values ​​of the Seven Sisters to collapse!
Once the seven sisters collapse, the wealth of all Americans will also evaporate. It is equivalent to that Americans have been kidnapped by the seven sisters. What the middle-class families in the United States hold in their hands are not US dollars, but stocks of Nvidia and Facebook. If they collapse, people will really die!

Of course, Nvidia is not yet at the level of the seven sisters of Nasdaq. It is not yet at the point where its market value reaches 3 trillion US dollars and its stomping of feet can shake the global technology industry.

Even Feiyan Technology and Zhixing Foundation are entities that NVIDIA cannot afford to offend now.

Zhou Hualiang glanced at Boss Huang and the other two in front of him. NVIDIA is now a graphics card design company, and the graphics cards are produced by foundries. It is difficult to say how much NVIDIA is really worth.

"Nvidia should have also heard some rumors about Microsoft's game console project!" Zhou Hualiang said.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Huang Renxun, Curtis, and Chris all changed suddenly. They certainly knew what Zhou Hualiang meant.

Game consoles are big users of graphics cards. The role of graphics cards in game consoles is even more important than that of processors.

If NVIDIA can become the graphics card supplier for Microsoft's game console, it will be an opportunity to reach the sky high overnight. For NVIDIA, which is still struggling to survive, it will definitely be a huge fortune!

"As a co-developer of Microsoft's game console, Dongling Hi-Tech has an obligation to find a suitable graphics card supplier for Microsoft's game console!"

After following Li Dongling for several months, Zhou Hualiang's ability to make big plans has increased a lot. As soon as he came up, he started by making a big plan.

“In addition to the Microsoft game console project, Tanglin Hi-Tech also has a computer development project and also needs to find a graphics card supplier!

I think NVIDIA is one of the most promising graphics card developers in the world, so... I am here!"

The pie that Zhou Hualiang painted was really tempting. After hearing it, Huang Renxun, Curtis, Chris and others would be lying if they said they were not tempted.

However, as a representative figure who can bend and stretch, and who can humble himself and cheer for Xiaomi when things are down, Boss Huang knows himself well and knows what Nvidia's current strength is.

Although Huang Renxun, Curtis and other founders flatter themselves and say that NVIDIA's graphics cards are the best in the industry, sales volume is king.

The sales of graphics cards from brands like Trident, S3, 3Dfx, ATI, and Zotac are much stronger than that of NVIDIA. You can't just brag about it.

Although he wanted the Microsoft game console order very much, Huang Renxun still looked at Zhou Hualiang and asked, "Why choose Nvidia?"

This problem bothered not only Huang Renxun, but also Zhou Hualiang. After all, he didn't understand why they chose NVIDIA. There are more than one or two graphics card brands that are better than NVIDIA.

"Just as I came here, this is the decision of Mr. Li Dongling!" Zhou Hualiang moved Li Dongling out.

When Huang Renxun heard Li Dongling's name, he showed an expression of "sudden enlightenment", and then showed an expression of sighing.

Apart from the fact that they are both Chinese, Huang couldn't think of any other reason to approach NVIDIA. After all, Yahoo, which Li Dongling had Zhixing Foundation invest in, was also founded by Chinese, and as the founder of NVIDIA, he is also Chinese. This seems to be... the reason!
People are most afraid of imagining things, and they will come up with the most reasonable reasons. After Huang Renxun imagined it, he felt that the reason why Li Dongling asked Zhou Hualiang to contact NVIDIA was probably because they were of the same ethnicity.

While Old Huang was still sighing, Chris couldn't help but ask Zhou Hualiang, "How does the Zhixing Foundation want to cooperate?"

“Zhixing Foundation invested $25 million in NVIDIA in exchange for % equity!
In the future, for the development of Microsoft game consoles and Tanglin Hi-Tech computer projects, Zhixing Foundation will recommend NVIDIA graphics cards as the graphics card supplier for these two projects!"

When Huang Renxun and the other two heard that the Zhixing Foundation wanted to get 25% of Nvidia's shares in one breath, they all frowned. This was a really ruthless move, taking away a quarter of Nvidia's shares in one fell swoop.

Of course, the Zhixing Foundation will take 25% of the shares now. After NVIDIA raises funds and goes public, the shares of NVIDIA held by the Zhixing Foundation will be continuously diluted.

Just like in the past, when Nvidia had a market value of 3.5 trillion, Huang Renxun's shares had been diluted to about % due to share reduction. Even if Zhixing Foundation could hold on to its Nvidia shares, if it did not increase its holdings, after ten or twenty years, it is estimated that the Nvidia shares it holds would only be around %.

But it is enough. As long as there is more than 15% of Nvidia's shares, Nvidia has a market value of trillion. As long as the Zhixing Foundation releases some news, such as selling hundreds of millions of its shares at one time, it is enough to make Nvidia's stock price be played to death. I don't know how many people who bought Nvidia stocks will have to jump back and forth between the rooftop and KTV...

"But the Zhixing Foundation cannot guarantee that the Microsoft game consoles and computers launched by Dongling Hi-Tech will definitely purchase Nvidia graphics cards!"

Huang Renxun also frowned and said that he also heard the loophole in Zhou Hualiang's words. Zhou Hualiang only threatened that he would recommend NVIDIA graphics cards to Microsoft and Dongling Hi-Tech, but Zhou Hualiang did not guarantee whether the other party was willing to purchase them.

Zhou Hualiang just laughed when he heard this. "The total investment for the Microsoft game console project is hundreds of millions, or even billions of dollars. If you want to become a parts supplier for such a project, your products must be competitive enough, and both the price and performance must meet the requirements. This requires NVIDIA to do it itself!"

"The Zhixing Foundation can only guarantee that NVIDIA will be given a chance to become the graphics card supplier for Microsoft's game consoles!"

There is another thing Zhou Hualiang didn't say, but Huang Renxun and the others also heard it clearly. If the Zhixing Foundation invests in NVIDIA, then NVIDIA will have the opportunity to supply Microsoft game consoles. If the Zhixing Foundation is not allowed to obtain NVIDIA's shares, then NVIDIA will have to stay where the hell it is.

Want to eat meat without paying a price? What kind of daydream is that? It's good enough that the Zhixing Foundation can help Nvidia. Having meat to eat is always better than starving. How dare it be so picky?
The opportunity is right in front of them. Whether to take it or not depends on the three founders of NVIDIA. Curtis is obviously the most interested.

As one of the most popular investment institutions in America, NVIDIA will become famous immediately with the investment from Zhixing Foundation.

If he is lucky enough to become a supplier of Microsoft game consoles, Nvidia will be only one step away from going public, and he, as the founder, will also be able to achieve financial freedom. This kind of opportunity does not come easily.

"I think the investment from Zhixing Foundation is a good choice!" Curtis said to Huang Renxun and Chris.

Upon hearing this, Huang Renxun and Chris looked at each other and nodded slowly. This was indeed an opportunity. If they missed it, they wouldn't know when the next one would come. Moreover, with the investment from the Zhixing Foundation, NVIDIA had a backer.

After signing the investment agreement, Huang Renxun, Curtis and Chris jointly transferred 8.3% of the equity to the Zhixing Foundation.

When seeing Zhou Hualiang off from NVIDIA, Huang Renxun suddenly asked Zhou Hualiang, "Zhixing Foundation, do you still want to invest in ATI graphics cards?"

When asked by Huang Renxun, Zhou Hualiang was obviously stunned for a moment. Seeing Zhou Hualiang's expression, Huang Renxun actually knew the answer in his heart.

Like NVIDIA, ATI graphics cards were also established by Chinese. Since the Zhixing Foundation has invested in NVIDIA, there is no reason not to invest in ATI.

Zhou Hualiang just glanced at Huang Renxun, neither confirming nor denying. In fact, ATI graphics cards were indeed on the investment list that Li Dongling gave him, and the Zhixing Foundation also wanted to invest in this graphics card company.

Seeing Zhou Hualiang's convoy leaving, Huang Renxun knew that NVIDIA's most important opponent in the future might be ATI graphics cards, because this is a war within the same camp, which is far more brutal than competition with other graphics card brands!
……

When the plane landed at the airport in Hanxi Province, Li Dongling also received a message from Zhou Hualiang that the Zhixing Foundation had invested in two graphics card companies, NVIDIA and ATI. The first step of Dongling Hi-Tech's layout in the graphics card industry had been completed.

When I got off the plane, there were already quite a few people waiting outside. As the base of Dongling Hi-Tech, Li Dongling's popularity in Hanxi is much higher than that in Yangcheng.

As soon as I got out of the cabin, the cameras below started flashing, and in an instant it was as bright as day. I don't know how many media and reporters from Hanxi Province came here to join in the fun.

However, compared to Guangzhou, the media present today are mainly official media from Hanxi Province. Even today's news footage will be broadcast on the Hanxi Provincial TV station.

"Mr. Li!"

When Li Dongling went downstairs, many old acquaintances were already waiting there.
