Wafer production technology is officially prohibited from being exported by the United States.

Experts are real experts, they know what can make American technology maintain a dominant position in the world, unlike those "beasts" who read books and have bad brains, Su Mu has been in the think tank of former President George H.W. Bush, and some of them are so high that even he wants to pay a lot of money to hire them.

Looking at the decision-making of the past half century, there have been few major problems, the national interest and the people's livelihood have been balanced, social welfare has been improving, and racial protection policies, although many whites are unhappy, have indeed eased racial disputes within the country, mainly thanks to a group of think-tank members with real talents.

The United States has been developing for a long time, there has been no war in this land for more than a century, coupled with the support of the social credit system and the perfect rule of law system, every businessman has a sense of security in his heart, and Su Mu is no exception, the success of this country has accumulated little by little, and it has successfully dragged down the Soviet Union, which seems to be strong, but only walks on one leg.

The ultra-high punitive damages will make businessmen consider the consequences of infringing on the rights and interests of others, so a group of enterprises can invest in research and development without worry, as long as they make results that meet the market demand, most of them can make a lot of money.

Sumu also spares no effort in R&D investment, nearly 35% of the annual profits of enterprises such as Penguin Apple and ATI will be used for R&D again, and the investment in Internet industries such as OO and Bee is also a huge amount.

At this time, there were not many companies that could produce wafers, and Mr. Saunders Sr. was asking for Su Mu's opinion, telling him: "Our factory is almost outdated, and if we don't continue to invest in research and development, I think it will soon fall into a situation where it will go bankrupt."

Your financing, plus Intel's compensation, is not enough for the time being, and it should be no big problem to survive this year and the first three quarters of next year, and then it will depend on you. ”

Su Mu was quite helpless, thinking that his thigh was hugged, and it was still unknown whether he could bring benefits in the future, but it was certain that this company would burn money.

Intel can design the CPU architecture, AMD can too, Intel has a wafer factory, AMD also has it, but the two companies are not at the same level, Intel's technology is much higher than AMD's, and with its monopoly position in patents, AMD's cost has increased to the point where it cannot compete with Intel's products.

In 1990, Apple invested $1.5 million in a computer company called "ARM", which was mainly responsible for the research and development of "reduced instruction set" processors, and the products developed by the three parties are expected to be used in mobile terminal products and Penguin Apple's low-end computers in the future.

In the past, old Sanders always liked to cry poor with Intel and ask for benefits from Intel, but now Su Mu feels that he has become the wronged leader, and the research and development of central processing units and supporting process products is simply a bottomless pit, even if Su Mu invests all his money, he may not be able to overturn Intel and become the boss in this industry.

He hurriedly reminded: "The company doesn't have much money, you should save some money, Intel makes money while R&D, and through the company's financial report, I found that AMD's R&D investment in some years is higher than profits, so one day it will get itself bankrupt."

Don't think about fighting with Intel for funds, it has more than $30 billion in cash lying in its account, and there are memory, flash memory and other products to make money, we just need to ensure that we can occupy more markets in low-end independent production and semiconductor foundry. The positioning is different, AMD has missed the best opportunity to develop, and we must admit that. ”

Mr. Sanders Sr. understood what Su Mu meant, AMD has been eating ashes behind Intel's ass for more than ten years, which is enough for him to admit the gap between his company and Intel, because he does not admit defeat, he always wants to fight for breath.

Su Mu's development ideas are obviously different from him, trying to shift from the high-end processor manufacturing field that Old Sanders has been staring at to the low-end field, accumulating strength to seize the Internet mobile terminal market that may appear, Old Sanders is a little uncomfortable, as if the belief he insisted on before has collapsed, but the situation is in front of him, and he can't help but admit that his strength is not enough.

He replied: "I understand that the money will be spent where it should be spent, and when you have time, you can give a speech to the company's top management, and the company's development direction will start to change." ”

Su Mu nodded and agreed.

They often visit the factory, which are all assembly line machines, and there is nothing to see, so they went to AMD's headquarters building to inspect various R&D laboratories.

......

He holds shares and holds a lot of companies.

After going to AMD's headquarters, they just relied on the places in their memories to find them one by one, as an investor, it is really unreasonable not to take a look at the company.

While he was chatting with the founder of a small company, Mr. Tom, the old housekeeper, called and told him that Ellison had come to his door and said that he wanted to partner in business with Su Mu.

If it's just a small business, where is it worth letting Ellison come to the door in person, Su Mu was a little interested, and rushed home after going out and getting in the car.

After returning to the living room at home, Su Mu found that it was not only Ellison, but also Jobs.

More than a decade has passed since Apple's glory days, and many Silicon Valley people have almost forgotten the existence of Steve Jobs, a company he drummed up that developed an operating system could not survive, and after the Internet bubble crisis, it closed its doors and sold it to Microsoft, leaving only the computer animation department called "Pixar Animation Studios".

Su Mu saw this pair of good friends who are very famous in Silicon Valley, and had some guesses in his heart, and finally understood why Ellison came to visit, instead of telling himself over the phone that this guy is notoriously bad tempered in Silicon Valley, and the only real friend is probably Steve Jobs.

After asking Old Tom's butler to help bring the cigars, Su Mu asked tentatively: "Is it that with your wealth Mr. Ellison, do you still have a business that you can't invest in?"

The "contribution" he refers to the Eden Industrial Incubation Park, which is obviously invested by the two of them, but Ellison always takes credit from himself in public, which makes him very unhappy......
