Chapter 245: Let the Bullets Fly

Nvidia's R&D speed and innovation capabilities amazed Wang Anran, in fact, Wang Anran has been thinking about the problems of Huaxin Technology, sometimes not something that can be solved by his own wishful thinking.

The lack of basic theory research and development, and the fault line of the talent echelon, the consequences are gradually emerging.

Compared with Nvidia, Huaxin Technology's advantage is only Wang Anran.

And the talent ......

Personal experience, Huaxin Technology has a group of top players, compared with foreign counterparts, there is still a certain gap.

The simplest example.

When encountering a new problem, his employees are always looking for similar solutions at home and abroad at the first time, and Wang Anran's experience in the United States, when the big names around him encounter similar situations, always think, I am looking for a perfect solution to solve this problem.

The facts are annoying, even though Huaxin Technology has made great achievements and even has a place in the world's semiconductor industry.

Wang Anran believes that the reason is that domestic intellectuals are still in the stage of lack of self-confidence, and they have positioned themselves in a position of catching up.

What to do?

Only by participating in tangible projects can talents be trained.

"I think Huaxin Technology may be able to formulate a five-year or ten-year plan like the country. ”

Rebus was silent for a while, and then said: "Mr. Wang, since we are making a plan, what is the basis? And what is our direction? What kind of goal do we want to achieve? What I know is that the semiconductor industry is ever-changing, and it is difficult for us to find the right direction.

Wang Anran said very seriously: "The basis is our understanding of the future, the development direction of microcomputers, office entertainment and productivity tools, in the final analysis, what kind of products the market needs, and we Huaxin Technology can provide computers that meet their needs." ”

"As for the direction, it is exploration and research, the ultimate exploration of von Neumann's structure, faster and more powerful processors, higher throughput memory, more bus structures, stronger graphics cards, faster storage interfaces......"

Rebus shook his head, "Mr. Wang, this is a dream, if it all comes true, Huaxin Technology will subvert the entire computer industry." ”

Rebus knows very well what Wang Anran means by this? It is a standard, a future microcomputer standard, covering CPU, memory, graphics card, various storage interfaces and bus design, huge and exciting, is it possible?

Even if it's impossible, I'm going to do my best.

"When are you going to come home?"

"Soon, Toshiba's side can loosen their mouths, Nintendo and Sony, they are unwilling to tie the game to the Ripper graphics card, and refused our request, but we may be able to get the copyright of some of their games, which will take time. ”

"Solve the matter of Toshiba, you can come back first, and let the game go in advance!"

For the future of popular games, Wang Anran has an understanding, it is always shooting games that detonate the eyeballs, of course, such as Age of Empires, Warcraft, Interstellar, Date and other strategies***, there are many audiences, as for epic online games such as World of Warcraft, the current computer hardware and network speed still cannot meet the requirements of operation.

The player kingdom in his own hands is overwhelmed, and he has been lying on the credit book of Counter-Strike, and he is also weak in the research and development of new works.

Wang Anran was counting on the acquisition of a group of mature game studios to realize his intentions, originally thought that this wave would require a lot of costs, but when he received the report issued by Goldman Sachs, Wang Anran knew that he was thinking too much.

"Mr. Wang, although there are only more than 100 people in Blizzard Entertainment, however, the "Diablo" they released last year had a strong response, and more than 5 million copies have been sold so far, in fact, Wall Street is very optimistic about Blizzard Entertainment, many institutions are willing to give a valuation of 20 million US dollars, of course, there are people willing to give more. ”

Clark took the trouble to explain why a company with only 100 people would be valued at $20 million.

Wang Anran nodded, $20 million is definitely worth it.

"Are you sure? I need absolute control!"

Clark shook his head and said, "We have communicated with Blizzard's major shareholders, and in fact they are not against it, but there is one condition!"

"On what terms?"

"They demand independent autonomy!"

Wang Anran looked at Clark, his mind full of question marks.

"Well, I think it's too much, they think it's very simple, you are responsible for paying for it, and Blizzard is responsible for making money for you, by the way, it's that simple!"

Wang Anran shook his head and said: "No, Mr. Clark, this time it is not me who paid for the acquisition in the name of playing Jia Country, by the way, you can reply to them, I agreed to Blizzard's request, they can not be disturbed in any way, of course, my premise is also very simple, as they promised, Blizzard needs to earn money for me." ”

The acquisition of Blizzard and the acquisition of AMD are completely different things, the acquisition of AMD will definitely be investigated by the US government in the name of endangering national security, and a game company will not even be taken to heart by the Americans themselves.

20 million US dollars, in exchange for unlimited possibilities, Wang Anran knows very well that in the next few years, Blizzard will launch several popular games, such as StarCraft, tens of millions of copies of the Big Mac, Warcraft is a phenomenon.

As for not interfering with the internal operations of Blizzard!

It's bullshit to Wang Anran.

I don't interfere with what you develop, but there is no problem with using Huaxin Technology's game engine! Besides, although the playability of Interstellar is good, but the bad picture is completely unbearable, if you use Godson graphics interface and game engine to develop, plus the second generation graphics card of Ripper to support, Wang Anran is confident that he can be caught between Nvidia and ATI, and go out of a bloody way.

Clark put away the documents in his hand, in fact, compared to AMD, tens of millions of dollars of business, he didn't look at it much, he waved his hand, and said: "Mr. Wang, it's a pity that the Americans don't have a high degree of support for Huaxin Technology's acquisition of AMD, and if Huaxin Technology needs to privatize AMD, it may need to pay a greater price." ”

Wang Anran nodded and said: "The acquisition of an American chip design and manufacturing company is of great significance to Huaxin Technology, I think, it is worth spending any money!"

Clark appreciates Wang's attitude, AMD's stock price has been depressed given AMD's poor performance in research and development, and Goldman Sachs has not paid a high cost to buy AMD shares.

"There is also bad news, Intel does not want Huaxin Technology to get involved in AMD, they plan to provide technical support to AMD, both sides said that they will exchange patents on the x86 architecture. ”

Wang Anran smiled and said, "Mr. Clark, are you joking? Intel hasn't caught up with us yet, even if they exchange patents, what!"

Clark took a sip of coffee, shook his head and said, "This is the resistance that Huaxin Technology may encounter, and I need to make it clear to our customers." ”

Wang Anran shrugged his shoulders and said, "Mr. Clark, Goldman Sachs can solve it, right?"

"Of course, Goldman Sachs' aim is to provide the best service to our clients, and I just want to make it clear that maybe we need to increase our budget a little bit ......"

Wang Anran understood that Goldman Sachs was catching his own fat sheep and picking up the wool.

Okay, let Clark cool down for a while, Wang Anran needs to solve the matter of the player country.

Qiu Baijun also owns 45% of the Player Nation. Wang Anran wants to inject capital here, and if Qiu Baijun doesn't follow, his shares will shrink greatly.

"Anran, how much money are you going to inject!"

"$50 million in the early stage, and there will be additional ones in the future. ”

"Then my stake is not diluted to single digits!"

"Can you choose to inject money with me?"

"No money, I still have time to go ashore now!"

Of course it's in time.

In three days, a third-party accounting firm checked the accounts, and financial analysts from Hong Kong Island conducted valuations, thanks to the explosion of Counter-Strike, the valuation of the player country was 140 million, and Qiu Baijun's 45% of the shares were worth 67 million yuan.

"Anran, isn't it interesting enough, kick me out at this time!"

Wang Anran looked at Qiu Baijun and saw that he kept knocking on the table and dangling, how could he look like a boss.

"I didn't force you to sell it!"

Qiu Baijun said indifferently: "Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, forget it, this business is not a loss at all, five million becomes seventy million, it is like robbing a bank." ”

Wang Anran shook his head and said, "Don't act like a robber, do you Qiu Baijun still look like a person who is short of money!"

"Like, definitely like, Anran, if you have endless money, I'll help you spend it, and I won't charge you any handling fees!"

"No, you don't!"

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

The New York Times released specious news, followed by a newsletter published by the Wall Street Post.

"We have received definite information from Mr. Clark of Goldman Sachs' Asia Department that Huaxin Technology from China is preparing to acquire AMD, and if successful, this acquisition will set a record for Chinese companies to acquire American companies......"

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

"Let me work under the Chinese, God, spare me, I would rather enjoy the guarantees provided by the US government at home." ”

"No, AMD doesn't need Chinese, if they come, they will only move AMD back to China, and not even a single screw will be left!"

The Times said: AMD will not have any future in the hands of Huaxin Technology, I think, Americans understand this truth.

The voice of continuing to be bearish, but it can't hide the soaring stock price of AMD, which has risen by 34% since the news of the New York Times, and AMD's poor financial statements definitely can't support this stock price.

Let the bullets fly a little longer!
