Chapter 678: Give Some People Some Color to See
“boss?”
Seeing that Chen Geng's face was not very good-looking, Rosemary, who had not spoken much on the side, asked in a low voice, with an inquiring look on her face.
Chen Geng didn't speak, and handed Rosemary's fax to Rosemary.
Before reading the contents of the fax, Rosemary's brows furrowed: "What is Intel doing?! If it weren't for our orders, they would have lost money this year, right? Now it's good, we just want to hold part of their Intel shares to ensure the supply of CPUs, and cross-shareholding is not impossible to talk about, but they dare to treat their biggest customers with such an attitude?"
Chen Geng nodded, he was also annoyed.
What Rosemary said is not an exaggeration at all, at this time, Intel was not the company that specialized in CPUs in later generations, and now Intel is CPU and DRAM memory together.
However, the quality of the memory produced by local semiconductor companies in the United States is really worrying, and under the impact of Dongying DRAM memory, the life of domestic DRAM memory manufacturers in the United States (including Intel) is simply not too sad!
For example, in 1980, Hewlett-Packard, a veteran computer giant in the United States, announced their 16K DRAM memory quality inspection of the bidding of 3 Dongying companies and 3 American companies, and the quality inspection results showed that the chip failure rate of the best DRAM company in the United States was 6 times higher than that of the chip failure rate of the worst DRAM company in Dongying.
Although Hewlett-Packard did not name these companies, it was soon revealed that the three American DRAM suppliers were Intel, Texas Instruments and Mostec, and the other three companies were NEC, Hitachi and Fujitsu.
Moreover, Dongying DRAM memory is not only of better quality, but also lower than the price of American DRAM memory, for example, Hitachi's offer to HP is even 10% lower than the price of Intel, Texas Instruments and Mostec.
As of March this year, the monthly output of DRAM memory at NEC's Kyushu plant was 10 million pieces (about 10,000 wafers), and according to the data released by NEC, the monthly output is expected to increase to 19 million pieces in October, and the yield rate will increase to 80%.
Good quality, low price, sufficient quantity, Dongying DRAM memory in North America, the world's largest computer market has risen rapidly, and the original price of inflated DRAM memory modules, the price has plummeted by 90%, a 64K DRAM memory chip that sold for $100 two years ago, now only $5, Niu X is Dongying manufacturers can still ensure that they can make money, and the United States semiconductor companies due to the low yield of chips, simply can not compete with Dongying, so they are in trouble.
At this time, Intel's DRAM memory project was already a huge loss, and to put it mildly, if it weren't for the massive CPU orders from thinkcenter, Intel's loss in the first half of this year might even exceed $20 million.
It is precisely because of this that Rosemary is so angry at Intel's move: look at the general environment, the economic crisis has swept the world, look at the industry environment, the impact of Dongying DRAM memory on you is like a soup flood, if there is no Lao Tzu to help you, your Intel will have to eat chaff, and now Lao Tzu is just asking for a stable supply, you are actually playing this with Lao Tzu?!
Suddenly, Chen Geng had already made up his mind in his heart: these American white skins really responded to the ancestor's sentence "If the small tree is not repaired, it will not slip straight, and if people do not repair it", okay, since you ask for benevolence, Lao Tzu will let you be benevolent!
"And what are you going to do?" asked Rosemary.
"I'll go back right away. ”
"Huh?"
Chen Geng said lightly: "Next year's DRAM memory bidding is ahead of schedule." ”
Rosemary instantly understood what he meant: With the global success of the thinkcenter series of microcomputers, Data Research is now the world's largest manufacturer of microcomputers, and as the world's largest manufacturer of microcomputers with rapidly expanding production capacity, the demand for DRAM memory is huge.
In the same way, because of the huge demand for DRAM memory, the data research company also has a significant influence on the major DARM memory vendors in the market: if the data research company does not purchase DRAM memory from a previous partner, the partner may only have to cry.
Although Intel's DRAM memory is expensive and the quality is not very good, in order to take care of its own CPU supplier, the data research company has been purchasing a certain percentage of DRAM memory from Intel, but if the data research company reduces the purchase ratio of Intel DRAM memory in this bidding activity, Intel's life will be sad, and the stock price will fall in response to the stimulus of this news.
According to the original plan, the data research company is going to hold next year's bidding conference for each component at the beginning of next month, but if Chen Geng insists on advancing the bidding conference by a month, no one will say anything, and even some manufacturers will secretly rejoice: the earlier they determine their own share, the day earlier they will rest assured, right?
It's just that Rosemary is also a little worried: "But what if Intel threatens us with a reduction in the supply of CPUs?"
"Hehe......"
In the face of Rosemary's question, Chen Geng's answer was two confident sneers: "I'll leave it to you here, I want those bastards at Intel to understand, why Lao Tzu is their father!"
....................................
Without returning to Detroit, Chen Geng's private jet flew directly from Huaxia to California.
Dorothy Kiridale and Gary Kiridal, Chiwett Egypt Ford and other management teams of the entire data research company personally went to the airport to greet Chen Geng's arrival, and when they saw Chen Geng, Dorocy's face was ashamed: "Boss, I disappointed you. ”
Although he was not very satisfied with Dolucy's work, in front of so many people, Chen Geng still wanted to save her some face, waved his hand, Chen Geng said: "Shares are the foundation of a company, we want to cut meat from Intel, we can't help Intel struggle twice, right?"
Dorothy and Gary breathed a sigh of relief.
But he didn't think that Chen Geng's words were not finished, and when he said this, he immediately changed the topic and said: "But Intel thinks it's one thing to cut meat, whether we insist on cutting meat from them, that's another thing, Dolucy, I'm very dissatisfied with your result this time." ”
Unexpectedly, Chen Geng actually criticized himself mercilessly in front of the core management of the entire data research company, and Dorocey Kiridaire's face suddenly turned pale, but for Chen Geng's criticism, she was irrefutable, pursed her lips, and Du Luci lowered her head: "Yes, boss, I didn't do a good job in this matter." ”
"It's not your fault, though......"
"Huh?"
Hearing Chen Geng's words, Dorothy was surprised, she raised her head and looked at Chen Geng in surprise.
She knew that Chen Geng was participating in an important event in Huaxia, and the boss put down such an important event and hurried to California, which was enough to show how dissatisfied he was with the results of his previous negotiations with Intel.
Looking at Dorothy's surprised and incredulous look, Chen Geng smiled secretly in his heart.
Speaking of which, as Doroucy's status and authority in the data research company become more and more important, she also has some bad problems that she didn't have before, and it's time to need to knock and knock, but knock twice, let Dorothy realize that I, Fernandez Chen, is the real big boss of the data research company, that is, Dorothy has done a good job in the past few years, and the United Data Company has been able to come so far, she is one of the biggest heroes, and she still has to give face.
Facing Dorothy Kiridale's puzzled eyes, Chen Geng shook his head and didn't say anything, just said, "Get in the car." ”
........................
In the early days of the group, Chen Geng modified a GMC business vehicle as a mobile conference room, up and down, and now the leadership of Chen Geng's companies also have this habit, the company will inevitably have a long business RV converted into a mobile conference room, the same is true for the team brought by Duo Lucy and others, the core is a GMC modified business RV, the crew cabin that could have placed 19 seats is now only 9 seats and a secretary seat, and the space is a mess.
Sitting down on the soft and comfortable luxury leather sofa swivel chair, Chen Geng said straightforwardly: "First of all, for Intel's shares, I am bound to win, and I changed my mind, before I only asked for 10%, but now, without at least 15% of the shares, it is absolutely impossible!"
"But...... Boss," Dorothy Kiridale looked at his boss with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Intel won't even transfer 5% of the shares to us, you mentioned 15% ......"
You've tripled the price all of a sudden, are you stupid to be an Intel?
But before Dolucy could finish speaking, Chen Geng interrupted her words and stared at her eyes unceremoniously: "The reason why Intel is so fearless is because we have been using their CPUs, what?
Dorocidon was startled: Mr. Fernandez's words were clearly hinting at something, and she subconsciously hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, no, of course there is no ......"
As for the others, their eyes widened: What?!Change a CPU vendor?
Looking at everyone's surprised eyes, Chen Geng smiled: "What's the matter? Is it difficult for you to accept a different CPU supplier? It's not that you can't find processors on the market that have the same performance as 8086, 8088 and 80286, such as the Motorola 68000 series, the performance of this CPU is very poor?"
Speaking of this, Chen Geng looked at Garricky Ridair: "Gary, answer me, can you design a microcomputer that does not use Intel series CPUs and is compatible with all our previous software?"
In response to Chen Geng's question, Gary Kiridale, the chief engineer and chief architect of the data research company, answered without hesitation: "Of course!
"OK," Chen Geng smiled, and then looked at Dolucy: "Dolucy, tell me, what else is there to worry about?"
