Chapter 907: Downstairs in You (Second Watch)
"Dong He, can you meet each other?" Qin Feng called He Guoyuan, president of ATI.
"Qin Feng?" He Guoyuan was stunned, but still heard Qin Feng's voice.
"Qin Feng, I made it very clear last time, I don't have any interest in your proposal!" He Guoyuan said helplessly.
After all, he is a young and promising compatriot from the motherland, and He Guoyuan still doesn't want the two sides to tear their faces.
"I know, so, this time, it's for other things! Can we meet?" Qin Feng asked.
"Then I'll see the time..."He Guoyuan began to look through his schedule.
"It's noon, so let's have a light lunch at noon. I'm downstairs from your company. Qin Feng said with a smile.
"Ahh
Subsequently, Qin Feng met He Guoyuan at this Chaoshan hot pot restaurant.
The middle-aged man, although he is over fifty years old, exudes a heroic vitality.
"Mr. Qin, you are really fast, it reminds me of the scene when I just created ATI more than ten years ago!" He Guoyuan sighed.
Qin Feng smiled.
"Mr. Ho praised, compared to my achievements, your achievements are truly admirable. Desperate, abandon the generous annual salary, and come to a foreign country to start a business. I admire being able to have today!" Qin Feng complimented.
Of course, this is not hypocrisy, but the other party really deserves to be complimented.
After the two chatted, they began to cut to the chase as the hot pot came up.
"Mr. He, I came this time for two things. The first thing is the most important, the second thing, if you are willing to agree, you can agree, if you are not, we will not cooperate with benevolence!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
"Say!" He Guoyuan nodded.
"First things first, I want to buy your company's CPU business unit. All the technical copyrights, plus the corresponding technical information, if there are talents, it is best to package them together!" Qin Feng said.
"Huh?" The peeing cow ball in He Guoyuan's hand fell directly into the hot pot.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" He Guoyuan hurriedly apologized.
"Mr. He, I want everything for your company's abandoned CPU project!I don't know how much Mr. He offered?" Qin Feng asked.
He Guoyuan paused.
"Mr. Qin, can I know why you want this project?" He Guoyuan smiled bitterly, "Also, how did you know? This project is very secretive. ”
Qin Feng shrugged.
"Gray from voodoo told me. Qin Feng said.
"This guy!" He Guoyuan shook his head.
He and Gray naturally knew each other. Although the two are far apart, after all, they are both in the same industry, and they naturally intersect. He had dinner with him and had a chance conversation about it.
After all, ATI was under a lot of pressure in the face of Intel's aggressiveness at that time. He also thought about seeking outside help. As a Gray who came out of a chip company, he is also a talent.
It's just that the other party has already created voodoo. So he just consulted.
"How is it?, is Mr. He willing to cut his love?" Qin Feng asked.
"Qin Feng, you should know that my CPU project has been abandoned, the reason is that it is not mature enough, and the cost performance is not high. If you buy it, you may not be able to fight against Intel. He Guoyuan said.
"I know, but my CPU is congenitally flawed, the architecture is bad, and it's hard for me to upgrade it. So, I have to seek external technical power!" Qin Feng said seriously, "At present, AMD is good, but obviously I can't get involved." In the industry, there is no other company that makes desktop CPUs, and only yours is the only one. ”
He Guoyuan nodded.
"Let's not talk about this matter first, what is your second thing?" asked He Guoyuan.
"The second thing is that I have already reached an agreement with Voodoo, and I didn't need to talk to Mr. He. But I think we can work together. Qin Feng said, "voodoo's strength lies in 3D games, but 2D is weak, and 3D is more extreme, which is a very professional game graphics card." And for ordinary 3D scenes, voodoo's handling is very average. It could even be said to be terrible!"
This 3D graphics card is not just for gaming.
In addition to games, there are many scenarios that can be applied to the computer.
For example, 3D max, a modeling software, and mechanical manufacturing, also have 3D scene applications. All walks of life are more or less in demand. As for voodoo, the game performance is good, but the other 3D scene applications are too poor. This is also due to its specialization in games.
"How do you mean to cooperate?" He Guoyuan asked curiously.
"It's not about equity, it's just about business partnerships. Doesn't voodoo put forward the concept of a 1+1 firefight, I think, it can completely form the concept of a firefight between voodoo and ATI graphics cards. Between the two sides, your company offers a regular 3D graphics card, while voodoo can provide professional game rendering. Qin Feng said.
"But then, it's too expensive. What's more, although my company's 3D performance is temporarily lagging behind voodoo, it will not always lag behind. He Guoyuan frowned.
Qin Feng said this, he was a little reluctant to listen to it.
"I know. So, I mean the low end!" Qin Feng said.
"What do you mean?" He Guoyuan was stunned again.
"Now all users need to buy a graphics card to buy a computer. My idea is to integrate the graphics card into the CPU, and then I will integrate the crossfire between the voodoo graphics card and the ATI graphics card directly in the CPU. However, for the sake of cost, it must only be a low-end display chip. So, I'm hoping to use a CPU for the same price to achieve a higher performance CPU and a mid-range graphics card for gaming. Qin Feng said.
He Guoyuan was shocked by Qin Feng's idea.
"You have to integrate the display chip into the CPU!" He Guoyuan was surprised, "and you have to achieve a firefight inside!"
"Yes!" Qin Feng nodded.
"It's very difficult to do this!" He Guoyuan thought.
"I know. In the short term, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve. However, we can achieve a crossfire on the motherboard. Integrate the chip on the motherboard. Qin Feng smiled and said, "This is much simpler." Direct motherboard integrated video memory chip. ”
"Motherboard! You seem to have just purchased the STB motherboard!" He Guoyuan understood.
"So, I don't know if Mr. He is willing to cooperate?" Qin Feng asked, "In terms of high-end graphics cards, I don't care." You are competing by your own means. But on the low end, I want to be able to cooperate. Bind to the motherboard!"
He Guoyuan pondered.
"Give me a reason why I must promise you!" He Guoyuan said, "If you can give me a good reason, I will promise you." Not only promise you, CPU department, I'll sell you $1!"
He Guoyuan was curious about how Qin Feng was going to convince him.
He had agreed in his heart that this was an attempt to help the company make more money. However, he wanted to know what good reasons Qin Feng could have to convince himself.
