Chapter 135: Initiating an Acquisition of Intel Corporation!!
Li Zetian continued: "Intel's main business is memory, they don't pay attention to microprocessors, and Intel's recent microprocessors have suffered a miserable setback, so this is the best time to acquire Intel's microprocessor division!!
"Mr. Li, are you asking me to prepare to acquire Intel now?" asked Dongfang Yuqin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes. It's best not to let outsiders know that it's Time Tech that wants to buy it, though. As a parent company, Times Technology Co., Ltd. hid behind the scenes, in the name of an overseas offshore subsidiary of E.S. Technology Inc., to acquire the microprocessor division of Intel Corporation. Times Technology Company already has a company called 'Donghuang Technology', so let's acquire it in its name!" Li Zetian thought for a while, and then said, "Times Technology Company and Donghuang Technology Company are both shell companies, you should go to Los Angeles first and set up offices for the two companies there! Remember to build them separately and don't arouse people's suspicions." Your task now is not only to build a team of Times Technology Company, but also to establish a team for Donghuang Technology Company, and when you acquire other companies in the future, you don't need to go out in person, you just need to give an order, and then Donghuang Technology Company will send someone to complete the acquisition plan. ”
"Understood, then I'll go do something now!" Dongfang Yuqin nodded and stood up from the chair, the document that Li Zetian handed her just now included the information of Donghuang Technology Company.
"Hmm. Li Zetian responded.
Dongfang Yuqin put the documents on the table and turned to leave.
Ten days later, Dongfang Yuqin recruited an elite team of 10 people for Donghuang Technology Company, of which 9 were recruited from Stanford University, MIT and the University of California, Berkeley, and the other was an MBA graduate of Cambridge University and also her senior-Qin Feng.
Qin Feng is 28 years old, tall, about 185cm, athletic big boy, very handsome, originally worked at Citibank. Dongfang Yuqin knew that this senior had excellent ability and character, so she decided to invite him over to help her. At first, he couldn't be invited, but in the end, with Li Zetian's permission, he revealed to Qin Feng that she was working for Li Zetian, and Qin Feng was interested and agreed to change jobs.
Today's Li Zetian has become the pride of the Chinese, and Wang An was thrown dozens of streets by him. Moreover, Li Zetian's reuse of Chinese people is obvious to all, such as Tian Shuai and Zhang Yan of Apple, Li Meisheng of Apple's Mosheng Headphone Company, Wu Guangguang of Sunbird Company, etc., therefore, many Chinese are very willing to work under him.
Indeed, there are more Chinese in the company under Li Zetian's name, and it has almost become a concentration camp for Chinese elites, of course, this proportion is still far less than that of whites as a whole.
……
……
Donghuang Technology Company.
Dongfang Yuqin held a meeting with Qin Feng and other members of the company.
"Donghuang Technology's first goal is to acquire the microprocessor division of Intel! ”
Dongfang Yuqin distributed the information to everyone.
The conference room was quiet, and everyone was reading the materials.
Ten minutes later, Dongfang Yuqin continued to speak, "Now that everyone has read the information, they must already have an understanding of the target we want to acquire. Qin Feng, how do you think this acquisition plan should be completed?"
Qin Feng pondered for a moment and replied: "I think that since Intel doesn't attach importance to the microprocessor department, I think we can directly launch an acquisition offer to it, as long as the price is right, there is no reason why the other party should not sell it to us." ”
"How much is the estimate?" asked Dongfang Yuqin.
"From the analysis of the data, I think that 50 million US dollars is enough, and if it is acquired at a premium, it will never exceed 60 million US dollars! So far, Intel has produced a total of five microprocessors: 4004, 4040, 8008, 8080, 8085. However, with the exception of the 8080 microprocessor, which was adopted by Apple's first-generation computer, Apple-l, which led to a huge increase in sales, the rest of the products were basically unattended. Even the best 8080 microprocessors sold don't bring much revenue to Intel. In 1976, due to the double attack of the Mos6502 and Z80 microprocessors, Intel's entire microprocessor division may have had annual sales of less than $10 million. ”
Dongfang Yuqin nodded, she also meant the same, waving a check, and went directly to the door to buy.
"Is that what everyone means?" she asked, looking at the others.
Everyone nodded.
Dongfang Yuqin said conclusively: "Since this is the case, then immediately initiate an acquisition from Intel!!
"Yes!!"
As soon as the meeting ended, Qin Feng immediately called Gordon Moore, the founder of Intel.
"Hello, Mr. Gordon Moore, I'm Qin Feng, CEO of Donghuang Technology! On behalf of Donghuang Technology, I officially launched a takeover offer for Intel and spent $50 million to acquire Intel's microprocessor division!"
Gordon Moore was stunned for a moment, he had never heard of Donghuang Technology Company at all. However, this did not prevent him from thinking about this matter.
"Mr. Qin, I'll hold a meeting later to discuss this matter. When the meeting is over, I'll give you an answer!" Intel's microprocessors suffered a tragic waterloo and had no future, and Gordon Moore was not optimistic about the development of microprocessors.
"Okay!"
Immediately after the call, Gordon Moore called a meeting.
At the meeting, he looked at Carlos Stephen of Intel's microprocessor division and said, "Carlos Stephen, I just received a phone call from the other party claiming to acquire the microprocessor division of Intel Corporation, and I want to hear your opinion. ”
Carlos Stephen was shocked when he heard this, was silent for a while, and said: "I think Intel's microprocessor technology is the world's top level, and the reason why Intel has suffered Waterloo is because of our expensive construction on the one hand, and on the other hand, because the other party is preemptive, such as the Z80 microprocessor, which is slightly improved on the basis of the 8080, so as to become more powerful than the 8080." Currently, Intel's microprocessor division is developing the Intel 8086, which will be the world's first 16-bit microprocessor, marking the third generation of microprocessors, which are much more powerful than 8-bit microprocessors, and we will beat all competitors on the market. Therefore, Intel's microprocessors can still win back the market!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately asked, "May I ask Carlos Stephen, what is the approximate price of Intel 8086?"
"It's going to be about $360. ”
"And how much do the Mos6502 and Z80 cost?"
Carlos Stephen had a difficult look on his face and did not answer.
The man immediately asked, "Carlos Stephen, as the head of Intel's microprocessor department, you don't even know the prices of your competitors, do you?"
After a while, Carlos Stephen replied hesitantly, "$25 is less than ......."
The person who asked the question smiled and said, "Everyone, now I will give you a multiple-choice question, one product has excellent performance, but the price is $360, and the other product has average performance, barely enough, but the price is less than $25." Excuse me, which product will you choose?"
Needless to say, everyone also chooses the cheaper one.
In other words, Intel launched a 16-bit microprocessor, but the result was still a failure, so everyone expressed their opinions.
"Who would buy such an expensive microprocessor, it is doomed to fail. In my opinion, it is better to sell the Intel microprocessor as soon as possible, so as not to waste the company's R&D funds!"
"That's right, it's easy to sell it sooner. Besides, microprocessors don't make much money, so Intel just needs to concentrate on developing memory!"
“……”
Listening to their conversation, Carlos Stephen's face turned ugly, and his heart gradually sank.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Gordon Moore announced, "Since everyone agrees to sell Intel's microprocessor division, it's decided that I'll contact Donghuang Technology Company later!"
"Wait, Mr. Moore, I have something to say!!"
Carlos Stephen stood up suddenly.
