136 Intel (Processor) Corporation
Gordon Moore looked at him and asked, "Carlos Stephen, what else do you want to say?"
Carlos Stephen took a breath, glanced at everyone, and asked in a deep voice, "I want to ask everyone, if Intel microprocessors have no value, why did they buy them?"
Everyone was stunned, yes, Intel's microprocessor is performing very poorly in the market, why should the other party buy it? The other party is not stupid......
Carlos Stephen did not wait for everyone to answer, and said: "Personal computers are developing rapidly, and microprocessors must be the direction of development in the future, even if Intel's microprocessor department does not make money for the company now, we must persevere! The reason why the other party wants to buy our microprocessor division is nothing more than to recognize that this market has huge development potential! Therefore, we must not give up the microprocessor to other companies, and if we sell it, Intel will definitely regret it!!
Carlos Stephen couldn't help but shout out at the end. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There was silence.
"That being said, our microprocessors don't compete with other companies, and PCs are still a niche market that is expensive and only a few people can afford them. Rather than continuing to waste financial and material resources on uncertain things, it is better to concentrate on developing memory. At present, Japanese electronics manufacturers are closely following Intel, and in order to ensure that we are ahead of the curve, we must concentrate our efforts on developing memory !!," the memory development manager suggested.
When everyone heard this, they all nodded.
"Yes, not to mention whether there is a huge development prospect for microprocessors in the future, even if there is, Intel microprocessors will definitely be able to develop. Right now, the market is flooded with Mos6502 and Z80, and there are also Motorola microprocessors, which are almost unwanted. ”
In recent years, the Japanese government has vigorously encouraged the development of the electronics industry, which has led to the rapid development of Japan's electronics industry, and Panasonic, Hitachi, Toshiba, and other companies have posed a great threat to Intel!
"Memory accounts for more than 90 percent of Intel's revenue, and microprocessors make less than 5 percent of revenue, which is irrelevant to the company. If we sell the microprocessor division this time, we can get a fund to increase the research and development of memory!"
“……”
The vast majority of people are in favor of selling Intel's microprocessor division, and it's hard to argue with it. Carlos Stephen was so exhausted that he could only remain silent.
As they say, even if microprocessors have great promise, but what about Intel's microprocessors.
There are many promising businesses in this world, but it is impossible to judge whether they can beat their opponents and become winners, just like everyone knows that TVs are very profitable, but most of the profits are made by Japanese manufacturers, and American TV manufacturers have collapsed.
When the competition is not enough, it is also a wise choice to choose to give up in time!
Gordon Moore then announced, "Then contact Donghuang Technology!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but applaud.
Carlos Stephen shook his head and sighed when he saw that the tide was turning.
……
……
Donghuang Technology Company, Qin Feng soon received a call from Gordon Moore, and when he learned that the other party had agreed to negotiate, his face suddenly showed joy. Later, he immediately called Dongfang Yuqin and informed him of the incident.
"Dongfang Yuqin, good news, Intel has agreed to negotiate! Since the other party has agreed to negotiate, I am eighty percent sure that the acquisition will be successful!" Qin Feng said confidently.
Dongfang Yuqin reminded: "Mr. Li attaches great importance to the microprocessor department of Intel, even if the other party asks for a higher price, he must buy it!"
Qin Feng nodded and said, "Understand, you can rest assured!"
At this time, the microprocessor department of Intel was panicked, and they didn't expect the company to sell them, which was too chilling. However, when I think that my department has not been profitable, and has even lost money in recent months, it seems that it is a predestined result to be sold.
"It is said that it can spend $50 million to acquire Intel's microprocessor division, and the strength must be strong, but what kind of company is Donghuang Technology Company, I haven't heard of it before?"
"I don't know, it's probably because a wealthy person or industry giant doesn't want to reveal his identity, so he created such an offshore company in order to hold behind the scenes. ”
"It's a bit like Chronos Li's style, he created Apple and Microsoft using overseas offshore companies, and the newspapers clearly wrote about it!"
"It's a bit like ...... indeed"
"Hahaha, if it was really him who bought our department, I was very much looking forward to it!"
“……”
The employees exchanged words and discussions.
Li Zetian is lying down, this Nima can also guess.
……
The next day, Qin Feng took the company's negotiation team to Intel's headquarters, and the two sides negotiated.
The content of the negotiations is not known to outsiders.
After several rounds of fierce negotiations, half a month later, the two parties finally reached an acquisition agreement.
Donghuang Technology Co., Ltd. acquired Intel's microprocessor division for $60 million, including talent, patents, technology, equipment, and factories. At the same time, the acquisition of the former microprocessor division was allowed to continue to use the Intel trademark, and the company name was Intel Corporation. For example, there are now two independent Intel companies, one that produces memory - Intel (memory) and the other that produces microprocessors - Intel (processor) company. And the two sides signed an agreement not to get involved in each other's industries!
In 1971, Rolls-Royce went bankrupt and the British government intervened to split Rolls-Royce into two companies, one producing Rolls-Royce cars and the other producing aero engines, both of which became industry giants.
By using the same brand, both companies can increase brand awareness and benefit both parties. However, in the end, the agreement not to set foot in each other's industries was specially proposed by Li Zetian. At the end of the 70s, the memory market will be occupied by Japanese electronics manufacturers, who have strong government support, good technology, and low prices, and Intel companies can't do it at all. Li Zetian's goal is to drive Intel (memory) to a dead end, and then buy it. Memory and microprocessors both involve semiconductor chips, and many technical aspects are related, and the complete Intel company is the real Intel company that is terrifying to the enemy.
Intel (processor) had more than 100 engineers and soon moved out of the original Intel company.
Qin Feng has rented an office building for Intel (processor) in Santa Clara, California.
On the first day the company moved over, Qin Feng went here to appease everyone and boost morale!
"Hello everyone, I am Qin Feng, CEO of Donghuang Technology Company, I am here to tell you two things, first, I hope you can stay here and work with peace of mind, and the salary will be increased by 5% compared with the original; second, Donghuang Technology Company will fully support you to develop Intel8086 microprocessors, no matter how much it costs, our goal is to build Intel into the world's largest processor empire, so that all computers use our products!!"
Bang Bang Bang!
The crowd applauded and was excited.
The microprocessor department was not taken seriously, its performance was not good, and the employees' income was lower than that of other departments, and they felt like they were dwarfs in the company. Well, now that the parent company values microprocessors so much, it feels good to be taken seriously!
The day after Qin Feng left the Intel (processor) company, he personally went to Li Zetian's villa to report to work.
Before, he had only heard of Li Zetian's name and had never seen him, but now that he can see the real person, he is very excited.
At 1 p.m., he arrived at his destination.
When they met for the first time, Li Zetian gave him a kinder impression than he imagined, just like an ordinary person, without a sense of superiority.
"Mr. Li, hello, I'm Qin Feng!"
"Haha, Qin Feng, hello. The talents introduced by Dongfang Yuqin are really powerful, and the acquisition of Intel's microprocessor department has performed well!"
"Thank you for the praise, I don't dare to take it. If it weren't for the strong financial support, the acquisition plan would not have been completed! In addition, Intel itself was planning to abandon the Intel microprocessor division, which led to the success of the acquisition! However, it is a bit regrettable that Mr. Carlos Stephen, the head of the microprocessor department, resigned. At present, the position of CEO of Intel (processor) company is vacant, I wonder if you have a new CEO candidate?"
"I think it's best to select someone from the company, who understands both technology and management!" Li Zetian thought for a while and said, "Just let them vote internally to nominate a person, they know each other, and they should be able to select the best candidate......
"Well, then I'll do what you tell me to do!"
……
When it comes to the technical strength of microprocessors, there is no doubt that Intel (processor) company is the world's first. The world's first microprocessor 4004 was developed by Intel, and the 8-bit microprocessor 8080 launched since then is a milestone product in the history of microprocessors, setting off a revolution in the personal computer industry!
When the news of the sale of Intel's microprocessor division spread, it caused a shock in the industry, and Mos Technology and Zilog breathed a sigh of relief.
The CEO of Zilog said with a smile to his employees: "Intel gave up the microprocessor division and sold it to an unknown company, it seems that the glory of Intel's microprocessor is about to become a thing of the past!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, several engineers walked up to him embarrassedly and took out their resignation letters from their pockets.
"Mr. Dennis, a few of us are going to ......resign," said one of the leaders.
CEO Caleb Dennis was stunned, "I didn't hear me wrong, you said you were going to resign?!"
"Yes, Mr. Caleb Dennis!"
Hearing this, Caleb Dennis took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked, "Where are you going after you resign?"
Several people looked at each other, and one of them replied, "Intel (processor) company!!"
Just said that Intel microprocessors are about to become a thing of the past, and in the blink of an eye, a slap in the face came. Intel (processor) company has gone to Zilog to poach people, and there are several core engineers as soon as they dig it!
Caleb Dennis's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he vaguely felt an invisible pressure coming towards him......
