Chapter 780: A Glimmer of Life
No further price reductions!
The Celeron 2 chip on the market cannot be withdrawn.
That's the attitude of the board.
"Grove, at least wait for the market to digest it. It's going to be fast!" said the many directors, "otherwise, this will have to be withdrawn, and the loss will be too great!"
After all, you can't launch a higher-performance Celeron 2 processor in the Huaxia market alone, and launch a backward one in other markets.
That was done, of course, to hit Loongson. But consumers around the world won't agree.
Grove frowned.
No price reduction, that's for profit. But the performance is not improved, this, he is really worried about the Loongson coming alive.
Now, they just drove down the price of Loongson and made it impossible for Loongson to make money. In that case, sooner or later, Loongson will collapse due to the high CPU research and development costs.
However, this takes time. Grove's health is not good, and it continues to deteriorate. He was about to step down to recuperate.
Therefore, Grove hopes that before he retires, the matter of Loongson will be resolved without leaving any trouble for his successor.
Before that, he solved the low-price dumping of Cyrix, and also beat AMD to the brink. He believes that he can leave office satisfactorily. But unexpectedly, another Huaxia Loongson came out.
Cyrix changed its name and made a comeback.
This really made him a little anxious. Unfortunately, none of these people support it.
"Grove, you don't have to be too anxious. Even if we don't do anything now and keep the status quo, the other side won't last long!"
"Intel's absolute strength is here. Don't forget, we still have Tualadin in the lab yet!" said Gordon Moore.
Grove's eyes lit up.
If Qin Feng is here, he will inevitably scold his mother.
This Intel is too pitiful. If there is a better one, it will not be taken out, and it will be used as a technical reserve.
You know, Tualatin, that's synonymous with Pentium 3. Originally, after the Pentium 2 was upgraded, it was the Pentium 3. And the inner name of Pentium 3 is Tualatin.
It's just that because Tualadin is so popular, no one is going to talk about Pentium 3. So, historically, Pentium 3 is pretty much a blank. Because everybody is talking about Pentium: Tualatin.
This is the Pentium generation god U.
If Intel launches Tulatin now, if it is still at the current price, Qin Feng can directly raise his hand and surrender.
Because, I really don't have to play! The performance gap is several times the difference. This is Qin Feng's side, and the gap that can't be made up with money. At least for a short time.
Grove patted his head.
"Indeed, in terms of technology, we dumped them for decades!" Grove was relieved.
Since he has an absolute technical advantage, then there is no need for him to worry so much.
As everyone knows, this also left Qin Feng with a way out.
Although this road of life is also full of thorns.
At this moment, Qin Feng was visiting the person in charge of the relevant party in the Demon Capital.
"Director Zhang!" Qin Feng took a breath.
"Mr. Qin, you came here, I think I should understand your intentions!" Director Zhang poured Qin Feng a cup of tea, "Regarding your matter, our city government has already discussed it. Our municipal government has decided that as long as Mr. Qin is willing to continue to fight, our municipal government will support you unconditionally!
Qin Feng was stunned.
Before coming here, Qin Feng had been thinking about how to convince the Demon Capital government to support his Loongson.
It takes a lot of money, really big money.
That's a lot more money than a steel mill or something like that.
You know, the initial investment in the steel mill is large. Subsequently, as long as your ore comes in, the energy will continue to turn into steel. That's how to make money. The follow-up is not profitable, it is all because of the price of steel and the price of ore.
But Qin Feng has already taken over 500 million tons of veins in Brazil. In this regard, it ensures that you can always get the lowest price of ore. Therefore, the steel mill invested 15 billion in the initial stage, and then it can slowly make money to pay off its debts, and finally count the money.
But the CPU is not the same. With the development of the world economy, the demand for computers in the future is increasing. At that time, the annual sales were hundreds of millions of pieces. If you want to produce, you will always have to produce tens of millions of pieces a year.
It's all money.
Counting the terrifying scientific research funds, if this is a loss, it will really be a loss of billions, tens of billions. And it's not the yuan, it's the dollar! And in the end, except for the land, which is worth a little money, the rest is not worth anything.
Because it's outdated. It's not like a steel mill, where some assets are worth a lot of money after going bankrupt. This CPU factory can only be sold as a broken copper wave. It's like Cyrix, it's not worth much.
The reason why it can still be sold for 200 million yuan is because there is still a little value. At least at the time, it wasn't completely outdated. But once outdated, it's really worthless.
Therefore, Qin Feng was very worried about convincing the Demon Capital government. After all, this is probably a bottomless pit.
As a result, before Qin Feng could speak, the Demon Capital Government told Qin Feng that there was no need to worry about the funds at all.
This is even more surprising than winning the 5 million lottery.
"CPU is a high-tech industry, and it is bound to be difficult to compete with large foreign companies. However, if China wants to rise, it must compete with American companies in this regard. And our magic capital, if we want to become an international metropolis, we must have our own business card. Loongson is one of our business cards. As long as you don't give up, the city government won't give up!"
Qin Feng couldn't be calm anymore at this moment and stood up.
Director Zhang also stood up.
"Director Zhang, I'm really grateful to the Modu government. I think it is the most correct decision for me to move the company to the magic capital!" Qin Feng said gratefully.
"Indeed, Mr. Qin, you chose to come to the magic capital, which is the most open and dynamic city in China at the moment, and it is indeed the most correct choice for you!"
The atmosphere was so congenial!
"By the way, Mr. Qin, I don't know how much you need to borrow?" asked Director Zhang.
"I'm going to play a little bigger this time. Therefore, if I can, I want to borrow 5 billion yuan in advance! If the development goes well, I will borrow another 10 billion yuan next year!" Qin Feng said, "If Intel keeps suppressing me, maybe I need to borrow more than 30 billion yuan in five years!"
Poof! Director Zhang almost squirted out a mouthful of tea.
It's not that they haven't imagined the resources that Qin Feng needs. But I didn't expect that Qin Feng's opening was 5 billion, and the follow-up was as much as 30 billion.
This, it's a little scary.
"Moreover, if Intel continues to hit me, then when it comes to acquisitions in some areas in the future, it is conservatively estimated that 50 billion will be the base!" Qin Feng said very seriously.
50 billion! Director Zhang felt that the whole person was not good.
