"What does Gordon Bell mean is that as long as James Nicholas Greken comes to our company, he will agree to come to our company?"

James Nicolas Gray is right now at IBM, but so what? It's nothing more than poaching, and Lucy is very confident in that.

"That's good," since Dolucy was so confident, Chen Geng didn't say anything more, and then he asked, "Are all the engineers in DEC here?"

"It's all here," Dorothy replied, although it was in Dorothy's own office, but she still sneakily lowered her voice: "Boss, I think these guys are all good hands, do you want to ......"

This woman is planning to give Ken Olsen a "Liu Bei borrows Jingzhou, and he won't pay it back", Chen Geng was also a little moved, but after thinking about it, Chen Geng still decided to give up: "Forget it, it's not good for our reputation to spread it, at this stage, it's more important for us to build a good reputation." ”

"Oh well. Dorothy was a little regretful, but still nodded: "Oh, by the way, Gary told me that they have selected the CPU and are ready to develop a new microcomputer based on the Motorola 68000 platform, and Motorola has also made it clear that if we can place an order for them 1 million pieces within two years, they can design an improved 68000 chip at our request, and guarantee us a 10% discount." ”

"Motorola's eyes are red. Hearing Dolucy say this, Chen Geng immediately laughed.

Dorocy's face was all smiles, too.

Because the ThinkCenter series of microcomputers fully use Intel's 8086 and 8088 series central processing units, as the ThinkCenter series of microcomputers continue to sell well around the world, Intel's 8086 and 8088 series CPUs account for more and more shares of the global microcomputer CPU market, which has affected Intel's stock price has also soared, compared with two years ago, Intel's stock price has soared by more than 50%.

Seeing Intel's big hair, stock price and performance both red, how can Motorola, which is also an integrated circuit giant, not be blushing? To put it mildly, maybe Motorola has long been thinking about prying Intel's corner, after all, compared with Intel, Motorola in this era is the real integrated circuit giant, and it is the kind that can compete with the blue giant IBM.

After laughing, Dorothy sighed: "But as you expected, our request to buy shares was rejected by Motorola, and Motorola said that we can buy outstanding shares from the market, but it is impossible for existing shareholders to transfer their shares to us." ”

The expression on Chen Geng's face was then put away, and after a while, he nodded: "Old giants...... Hehe......"

After a pause, Chen Geng continued: "Since people are unwilling to let us take shares, then forget it, Motorola is too big and not easy to bully, since Motorola is not easy to bully, then let's change to a good bully." ”

This is to realign the main target to Intel. Dorocy nodded knowingly, "Okay, boss, I know what to do." ”

....................................

Next, Chen Geng didn't need to worry much about the data research company, and Chen Geng focused more on AMC.

"Boss, I have agreements of intent with several large car dealers in the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Sweden, and they have agreed to represent our products, but you know, because our cars have never been launched in Europe before, they are very cautious about representing our products, they don't guarantee sales, and most importantly, we don't even have a prototype ...... right now."

Speaking of this, Jack Welch had a little embarrassment on his face.

The reason why the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Ruidan are chosen is because on the one hand, the economies of these small European countries are relatively developed, and there is no need to worry about the purchasing power of the people, on the other hand, because the size of the country is too small, although these small European countries also have their own automobile industry, but they either do not have their own national car brands, or only one or two of their own car brands, even if AMC comes in, it will not cause much backlash.

If you want to open up the market from Italy, Germany and France, which are the European powerhouses of the automotive industry, you will encounter a big rebound, Citroen automobiles, Peugeot cars, Fiat Group, Wolfsburg Group, Daimler Group...... None of these giants are easy to get along with, maybe AMC can teach them how to behave in the North American market, but in the European market, especially their home market, Chen Geng and Jack Welch have no doubt that the other party has a hundred off-board tricks to kill themselves.

In a word, AMC's European strategy this time is to quietly enter the village, and don't shoot guns.

Chen Geng didn't mind, he patted Jack Welch on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Being said that you can achieve such results without any samples and only with a few renderings, it's very good, I can't ask you to do more." As for the European distributors, I understand them, as businessmen, they can't make too many promises based on our words, which is normal, but I believe that in the end our products will conquer them. ”

"That's what I want to say to you," Jack Welch said immediately, "Boss, when will your new car designed specifically for Europe be delivered?"

"Prototype car? Three months or so. ”

When designing a new car, under the premise that the powertrain is a shelf product, the most difficult thing is not to build it, but to design, the appearance, interior, and overall design...... These are the most time-consuming, the most headache for the manufacturer, and after these are completed, the entire project will be completed ninety, as for the later prototype trial production, vehicle testing and final debugging and finalization, in fact, are some water grinding work.

But Jack Welch was embarrassed.

"What?" Noticing Jack Welch's reaction, Chen Geng was a little strange: "Isn't that enough?"

Jack Welch nodded: "Can it be a month less?"

Chen Geng raised his eyebrows and looked at Jack Welch puzzled: "Jack, you know, no one except me dares to guarantee that three series of so many models can be produced in such a short period of time......"

"Yes, yes, I understand," Jack Welch nodded hurriedly: "But boss, after the prototype comes out, it will take ......time to go to Europe for on-the-spot road testing and revision, and it will take time to formulate promotion strategies and publicity."

"This can't be," Chen Geng understood what Jack Welch meant, but he slowly shook his head: "Jack, you should understand that three months is already the limit. ”

"Okay," confirming that his boss did not let go in the slightest, Jack Welch sighed helplessly: "If that's the case, I'll try to see if I can use this time to talk about a few more countries." ”

"That's right. Chen Geng nodded with a smile.

There are no impermeable walls in the world.

Of course, the sneaky contact between the data research company and DEC and Motorola can't be concealed from those who have a heart, not to mention that the contact between the data research company and these companies is rejected by Intel, as its largest customer, Intel will inevitably pay special attention to the movements of the data research company, and under the special attention of Intel, the unusual bits and pieces of the data research company will inevitably fall into the eyes of Intel......

"Sir, Ms. Dorothy visited LaMarcus, Motorola's executive vice president in charge of chip business, and the two talked for about 2 hours......"

"Sir, Mr. Fernández Chen visited Mr. Ken Olson, the chairman of DEC, which should be related to the data research company's large-scale poaching of funds from DEC, but I don't know what the two talked about......"

"Boss, the data research company suddenly stopped poaching people from DEC, suspected to be related to Mr. Fernandez's last meeting with Mr. Ken Olson......"

"Sir, Mr. Fernandez Chan visited Mr. Gordon Bell, who is now a professor at Stanford University, and we have good reason to believe that this is some agreement between Mr. Fernandez Chan and Mr. Ken Olson: DEC on the condition that the data research company be allowed to poach Mr. Gordon Bell in exchange for the data research company not poaching people from DEC ......"

"Sir, the latest news, Motorola has suddenly sent a large number of engineers and technicians in the chip field to settle in the data research company, and we highly doubt that the data research company is ready to develop a microcomputer ...... based on Motorola's central processing unit."

"Boss, the results you want are out, we have spent a lot of money to get the news from Motorola, the data research company is working hard to develop a microcomputer based on the Motorola 68000 CPU with the assistance of Motorola.

In addition, the data research company once proposed to Motorola to ask for a stake in Motorola in order to ensure the safety of chip supply, but Motorola refused, but the data research company does not seem to have given up ......"

"Sir, we were invited by Data Research to attend their Vendor Conference at the beginning of next month, but they weren't particularly enthusiastic, and based on the previous news, we have good reason to think that Mr. Fernandez Chen has decided to go into the arms of Motorola after we rejected Data Research last time.

I have to warn you that if data research companies do go all-in on Motorola's CPUs, the results will be unbearable for Intel, and shareholders will question your capabilities......"

............

Faced with the increasingly bad news coming back, Intel's leadership could no longer sit still.

At the beginning, when Chen Geng asked them to hold shares, Intel's leadership, which was immersed in soaring stock prices and performance, was arrogant, and they did not hesitate to refuse Chen Geng's request: Just kidding! Fools know that Intel's future is bright, why should Lao Tzu give you the meat in his mouth?

But now, the attitude of the data research company to cooperate with Motorola completely frightened the top management of Intel, and they realized a problem that they did not care about before, or deliberately did not care: without the support of the data research company, Intel is actually just a second-rate chip supplier, if the data research company turns around to Motorola, what is the world's top chip manufacturing and supplier, what is competing with IBM and Motorola...... Inexistent!

For Intel now, if the data research company really turns to Motorola, Intel will spend a huge amount of money to increase production capacity in order to cope with the skyrocketing demand for chips from the data research company, and it will completely become a loss to the grandmother's business, and the chip will not be able to repay the bank loan if it cannot be sold, and such a large loan may even crush Intel.

Stimulated by huge financial pressure, Intel's top management soon reached a consensus: Intel must not lose the data research company, and Intel cannot afford to lose the data research company!

"You said Intel was relieved?" Chen Geng was a little surprised when he received a call from Dolucy.

"Yes, they are relieved," said Dolucy on the phone, sounding good: "Intel's president, Crawford, reached out to me and said that in order to deepen the ties between the two companies, they thought they could sell some of their shares to us after careful consideration. ”

Chen Geng said categorically: "Don't pay attention to him." ”

"Hmmm......"

Dorothy was a little surprised, didn't the boss always want to hold shares in Intel, why did he say that he should ignore Intel's requirements at this time?

"Now Intel has not yet reached the desperate moment of exhaustion," Chen Geng did not sell it, and explained to Dorothy: "Now even if they are willing to transfer shares to us, the proportion of willing to transfer will not be very high, just a symbolic point, and the most important thing is that the price will not be too cheap......

Without waiting for Chen Geng to finish speaking, Dolucy instantly understood: "Okay, boss, I understand what you mean, you are right, now is indeed not the time." ”

PS: 4000 words! Sorry brothers, please wait a moment.

"Yes, they are relieved," said Dolucy on the phone, sounding good: "Intel's president, Crawford, reached out to me and said that in order to deepen the ties between the two companies, they thought they could sell some of their shares to us after careful consideration. ”

Chen Geng said categorically: "Don't pay attention to him." ”

"Hmmm......"

Dorothy was a little surprised, didn't the boss always want to hold shares in Intel, why did he say that he should ignore Intel's requirements at this time?
