Just ask, it's too early to enter the PC space.

Since Steve Jobs and Gates were able to pull up the mountain with so much money in the late 70s and early 80s, Han Chudong, as a billionaire, is still afraid that he can't compete with others?

After the exchange during dinner, we visited the R&D laboratory of Aurora Games Company the next morning.

The prototype is estimated to be completed in August, and some of the parts are produced by a third party.

Han Chudong looked at the design drawings and couldn't find any major faults.

He didn't know what would happen to the product after it was launched, but he knew that if he didn't increase investment, Aurora Games would definitely not be able to catch up with its competitors.

After discussing with Nolan Bushnell in the office, it was decided to invest a total of $5 million in proportion to the shares, mainly for the development of new games.

A normal enterprise-class computer costs as much as three to four million dollars, and the cost of renting it is also prohibitively high.

For the time being, there is no need to buy enterprise-level computers, each of them invested more than two million US dollars, whether it is for Mason United Group or Atari Company, there is not much pressure, and with the assistance of lawyers, they jointly signed a second capital injection agreement, and the proportion of shares has not changed, and Han Chudong still holds 49%.

Helena Bergman didn't know anything about business and wasn't interested, so she was busy playing the Atari street game.

So far, Nolan's business idea is still in line with Han Chudong, so after finishing the financing, he took her away with peace of mind and went directly to Intel to visit the semiconductor company as a second shareholder.

……

The market value is still more than 80 million US dollars, and the investor's money is not distressed, and Intel has rented a small building for office, and the environment is very good.

As a shareholder, Han Chudong can occasionally receive some financial statements, product research and development plans, etc., for example, when the new processor was officially released in April, he also received an invitation to the celebration party, but he did not come to attend.

Intel has launched some new products one after another, but there are very few buyers.

Judging from the current situation, even Intel executives don't understand how to develop in the future, and only know that they continue to reduce their holdings and cash out.

The recent drop in stock prices has a lot to do with the founders and venture capital companies, taking one of the co-founders, Mr. Robert Noyce, who became famous, fell in love with skiing, gliding, surfing, and bought an amphibious plane to play by himself.

These Frankengeons don't know how to operate, and even Arthur Locke, the "king of venture capitalists" who invested $2.5 million in them at that time, and is currently the largest shareholder of Intel Corporation, chose to keep reducing his holdings and cashing out because he couldn't see the way forward.

In this case, it is no wonder that Han Chudong's acquisition and increase in holdings has always been so smooth, and if he is willing to invest more money, it is easy to buy the largest shareholder.

Come to the front desk.

Han Chudong introduced himself to a blonde girl with a round face: "Hello, I am the CEO of Mason United Group, Mason Han. Since the beginning of this year, I have bought more than 10 million dollars worth of Intel shares, and this is the first time I have visited the company.

"I don't seem to have seen you, so please wait. ”

Seeing that Han Chudong was standing behind him, he subconsciously felt that he should be a big person, so the receptionist didn't ask much, and directly picked up the phone and called the CEO's office.

As for the president, Berrot Neuss, who recently took a leave of absence to travel to Europe, saying that he was looking for inspiration for the research and development of new products, and he had not appeared in the company for more than ten days.

In the United States, the president and CEO are in different positions, and the two are equal in power.

As one of the inventors of the microprocessor and the co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor, he is indeed qualified to be so capricious.

In 1969, a gathering of semiconductor industry leaders was held in Sennava, attended by about 400 people, of whom only 24 had never worked for Fairchild Semiconductor.

This is evident in the high status of Mr. Robert Noyce in the industry.

"Please go up to the third floor and go directly to the CEO's office, and Mr. Moore will receive you personally. ”

"Thank you very much. ”

When Han Chudong heard the name "Moore", he immediately thought of "Moore's Law".

After entering the elevator and going upstairs, I walked through the open office area, and sure enough, I met Gordon Moore himself, an industry tycoon who had just been appointed CEO of Intel Corporation some time ago.

After getting acquainted with each other, sitting across from his desk, Gordon Moore said in a puzzled tone: "As far as I know, you are not a person in the circle, right, the last time you increased your holdings for the second time, and it was also discussed in the board of directors, it is difficult for us to determine the purpose of your entry into Intel." ”

"I'm a businessman, and I think it's that easy to make money investing in Intel. ”

Han Chudong changed the topic and pretended to complain: "But the company's stock price has been falling recently, which makes me feel a headache." ”

"Believe me, it will be fine in the future, recently a company approached us and purchased a batch of 8080 processors, a total of three hundred pieces. It's small, but I think their products are very interesting, and maybe they will continue to purchase more new processors, which will help improve performance. Gordon Moore thought that Han Chudong wanted to ask the teacher for his guilt, so he dutifully spoke to appease.

Thinking about it, Han Chudong thought he was talking about the home game console of Aurora Games.

In order to avoid all the risks of making others pay attention to Intel and prevent anyone from giving up selling or increasing their holdings in Intel, Han Chudong directly skipped this topic, and now the bleaker the company, the more beneficial it is for him.

When the capital is a little looser, he plans to increase his holdings of more shares, so the good news now is equivalent to a loss in the future for him.

He continued: "This is really good news, I came here today mainly to get a seat on the board of directors, and with my current shares, I should be eligible to be on the board of directors, right? I want to send someone to better participate in the management of the company." ”

Second, it is reasonable for shareholders to ask for a place on the board of directors.

Gordon Moore nodded and told him, "I'll discuss it at the next board meeting, it should be fine, is there anything else?"

"It seems to be gone. ”

Han Chudong felt that the other party was not easy to speak, but it was normal, after all, he had not been in contact before.

In line with the idea of saying less and making fewer mistakes, he got up decisively and said: "You continue to be busy with your own affairs, I walked around the company, and I invested more than 10 million US dollars, so I should know where the money is spent." ”

"Please feel free, I'll let the secretary take you, otherwise you may run into some trouble, the computer on the fourth floor is not allowed to be touched." ”

"Computer?"

Interested, Han Chudong smiled: "Then you definitely have to visit the fourth floor, I have only seen this thing in the newspaper......"
