Although so far, in the benchmarking war with Intel's microprocessor products, AMD has lost more and won less.

But it is not easy to survive in the fierce competition in the microprocessor market.

After all, the Motorola Semiconductor Division, Zilog and National Semiconductor, which entered the microprocessor market at the same time, were completely killed by Intel, leaving only AMD, which shows that it has two brushes.

Moreover, with AMD, a competitor, Intel's product upgrade is more realistic.

Unlike after the decline of AMD in later generations, Intel also lost the motivation to innovate, so it gained the "reputation" of "toothpaste factory" in the industry.

Two days later, Wu Tao personally led a team to appear in Sunnyvale, Silicon Valley, AMD's corporate headquarters.

Molly found it funny, so she also turned into an ordinary entourage and mingled in the interview team of Apocalypse Investment.

AMD CEO Sanders attaches great importance to it, leading his deputy Lu Yizhi and a group of people to receive the interview.

This kind of formation is very common in China, but it is not common in American-funded enterprises.

Molly was also secretly surprised when she looked at it, and her beautiful eyes frequently glanced at Wu Tao beside her, secretly wondering, is this guy already so influential in the American business community?

However, in Wu Tao's eyes, this situation is another interpretation: it seems that AMD's crisis this time is not small.

Especially CEO Sanders, who turned out to be a gray-haired old man, even if he was in good spirits, he still felt a little sunset.

Seeing the deep meaning and interpretation in Wu Tao's eyes, Sanders said very angrily: "Dear Mr. Wu, don't worry about my age, I will retire in April next year." ”

As he spoke, he pushed out the foreigner with a round face and a slightly bald forehead next to him and said, "Lu Yizhi will take over my position and lead AMD to continue to develop." ”

Wu Tao bowed slightly, with a hint of consideration in his eyes.

After half a day of contact and negotiation, the situation was basically clear, and it was basically the same as the information obtained by Wu Yingying's investigation.

The amount of capital AMD hopes to bring in is not large, about $3.5 billion. However, the share of equity replacement and the scale of technical cooperation projects that Wu Tao was willing to pay made Wu Tao feel almost meaningful.

Even so, Wu Tao didn't show it.

After all, business negotiation is a process of back and forth, and there is a lot of discussion.

As for AMD, they don't think it's surprising that Apocalypse has an ambiguous attitude.

At least compared to the situation a while ago when there was no life-saving straw, Sanders feels that it is already a big improvement.

What's more, once Apocalypse Investment is interested in AMD, it will not be as thin as a life-saving straw, but a proper life-saving golden thigh!

Wu Tao, who returned to the villa in Irvine, fell into careful consideration.

In fact, the purpose of his investment in AMD is not to find the development prospects of the other party, but to open a breakthrough from the monolithic American semiconductor industry, and a breakthrough to establish cooperation with the Huaxia semiconductor industry.

Although this kind of thing was put in the past, I couldn't think of it.

However, since the opening of the situation by the Batumi Joint Committee, although the blockade on the official face of the United States is still there, he can also feel a faint sense of loosening.

The only way to do this is to take the last shudder and open the layer of window paper.

Just as he was thinking about it, Molly came over from the next house, changing her clothes.

There are a lot of bad habits of this beautiful woman.

When I got home from outside, I had to change into my clothes. Just change it, just change into this tight-fitting leather coat that makes Wu Tao have no resistance.

So when this bewitching figure in the shape of a Persian cat appeared in front of him, Wu Tao almost lost the ability to think calmly.

Molly didn't care about this, but asked in a casual tone: "Are you really optimistic about AMD's development prospects?"

Wu Tao drank the soda in one go, retracted his lingering gaze and said: "In the microprocessor market, if it is done well, the future is promising." Yan Yan raised his eyebrows, "What, you're interested?"

Molly's heart moved, and her two long legs gracefully overlapped and changed postures: "AMD is what you are determined to get, if you are willing to give it to me, let me do anything." ”

This genius goblin is here again.

Wu Tao smiled bitterly, but on the surface, he waved his hand generously and said: "Anyway, this news was also given to me by you, since you want to vote, I will give it to you." ”

originally thought that snatching the project from Wu Tao was tantamount to snatching food from the tiger's mouth.

For this, Molly is even prepared to pay a price. Of course, this price is not the price of the body, but the price of the real one.

But I didn't want Wu Tao to be so generous.

She was so excited that she rubbed the ground together, hugged Wu Tao's forehead and kissed her greatly. If Wu Tao hadn't pushed her away, she couldn't wait to pounce on her to show the excitement in her heart at this time.

Seeing Molly leave gracefully, Wu Tao did not feel any waves in his heart about giving up the AMD project.

For him, the strategic significance of Quantum Trust's entry into AMD's board of directors is the same as that of Apocalypse Investment.

In addition, when it comes to AMD's long-term profitability, the value of the investment is not high. At least compared to the other projects invested by Apocalypse, it is not outstanding.

In this way, I didn't spend a penny, and I got things done again.

It's the best of both worlds.

After a day, at noon the next day, Molly came back tired.

This time, Molly didn't even change her professional suit, she entered the house and touched a bottle of brandy and poured herself a drink.

Wu Tao, who was sunbathing in the backyard, heard the movement and returned to the room, and took a look at the situation, "Yo, dear Molly, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm still a step too late!" Molly took a sip of the brandy in her glass, and then poured herself a glass and said, "Sanders has signed a contract with the Crown family first, and he said that he regrets your favor." ”

After that, Molly scolded rarely.

"The Krone family?" Wu Tao asked with a frown.

Molly drank another glass and said: "It is one of the three major families of the Chicago consortium, and the one who came out is Woody Crane, and Howard and Figo are all the way. ”

Hearing about the Chicago consortium, Wu Tao felt a pang in his heart, "This is not a small matter, wasn't AMD's investment unattended before, why did it suddenly become fragrant?"

At the mention of this question, Molly stopped drinking, and just looked at Wu Tao with a resentful expression.

Wu Tao led a team to inspect AMD, and after negotiating with Sanders for a long time, people in the industry paid attention to it.

In addition, Wu Tao's previous investments were quite successful, and they were so successful that they were eye-catching.

So a number of financial institutions and large consortia took the initiative to bite it.

Even though AMD now seems to be pressed by Intel and difficult to turn over, it is a project that Huaxia Wu is optimistic about, and it must be right.

In the end, Woody stood out with his absolute advantage and the strong background of the Chicago consortium and hit it off with Sanders.

This led to Molly's later pounce......

Wu Tao also felt a little unbelievable after hearing this, his every move had such a great influence unconsciously.

Is this my fault?

It's just that the project he is optimistic about was cut off, and he was not angry at all, and even had a little pride......
