Artificial intelligence, big data analysis and cloud computing are the three foundations of Yahoo, and other searches, Toutiao, LinkedIn, Yahoo Financial and so on are all extensions of this foundation, and Zhou Shi recognizes this very clearly.

In the future, there may be miracles in the competition of the Internet industry, but most of the time it will become a competition of comprehensive strength, and technology and traffic are indispensable. The chances of a small business becoming a large enterprise are getting smaller and smaller, and it is more realistic to turn from small to strong. However, after the order is formed, the law will be more standardized, and Internet companies will have to consider it if they want to wave. The greater the impact of an industry on society and the more obvious its effect on the accumulation of wealth, the more severely regulated it will be. This is an inevitability of the formation of a social order, and there are no possible exceptions. The stricter the regulation, it means that the industry has basically reached the top.

Therefore, cooperation and competition between Internet companies will become the norm, and the choice between Ahri and Goudong will not only not be allowed by law, but will also be warned by the market.

Based on the above understanding, the MIPS open source architecture has become less important, and the classic architecture of Zhou Shi open source, in addition to allowing Yahoo to have more say in the field of science and technology, is to allow Huaxia to have more time to develop its own chip design industry. Now that these two goals have been achieved, the value of the MIPS company has increased, and there is no need for him to keep the company.

Almost all large enterprises in the world are developing artificial intelligence, and if Yahoo has been controlling the direction of MIPS development, then companies such as Google and Microsoft will definitely reduce their support for MIPS architecture due to risk considerations. It's not the same when it is sold to AMD, a traditional chip design company that is independently listed, even if Yahoo is its majority shareholder, the interests of this company are very different from those of Yahoo. If Yahoo's interests were to prevail, AMD's current management would inevitably be prosecuted.

Because of this, companies including Microsoft, Google, and Apple are optimistic about AMD's acquisition of MIPS, and they have expressed opposition to Intel, Nvidia and other companies, but it basically does not help. AMD's plan to acquire MIPS with equity and accept Yahoo's capital injection was approved by AMD's board of directors, and there was no objection from the Beacon government. Under the agreement, Yahoo will eventually own 35 percent of AMD. I won't talk about the specific price, it doesn't make much sense.

At the most critical time, AMD received sufficient funds and dealt a big blow to Intel, and the market's response was that Intel's stock price fell for several days. AMD, because the price has been set, there is nothing to rise, and everything will not be clear until the dust settles.

However, even if Yahoo's funds did not arrive, AMD was emboldened and increased its order volume and publicity efforts. This time, the licensed semiconductors will also come out of the platform, after all, AMD's orders may become the largest source of revenue for the licensed semiconductors.

With the advanced technical architecture and process technology, the two key links that determine the performance of the CPU have been opened, and AMD's phased results are almost inevitable. All these factors combined, this is the main reason for the decline in Intel's stock price.

Of course, after AMD acquired MIPS, it expanded its living space, evolving from CPUs and graphics cards to artificial intelligence chips, unmanned driving, cloud computing data center server CPU chips, and so on. Chips are still chips, but the development prospects are very different.

Privately, AMD shareholders received a lot of inquiries, and an invisible battle was taking place in private, but fortunately, Yahoo's disagreeing shareholders basically had no hope of joining AMD's board of directors, and Yahoo took the initiative to respond to changes and carefully select long-term partners in the future.

Zhou Shi's leisurely does not mean that others are the same, and Tesla has suffered misfortune.

"Tesla driverless accident has a fatal accident!"

Today's headlines, Twitter, and Facebook were swept by such a piece of news, and Tesla, which chose to cooperate with Mobileye, still suffered misfortune. Zhou Shi watched the news carefully, fortunately, he was only seriously injured and hospitalized, and there were no dead people!

The advent of driverless cars will almost certainly change the taxi and ride-hailing industry, and it is also very likely that the iPhone will disrupt the traditional feature phones, and the real automotive industry. As the CEO of a high-tech new energy vehicle company with a market value of about $30 billion, Musk naturally does not want to lag behind the entire era. Investing in driverless cars was the beginning of his era. However, the first mover does not necessarily have good luck, and the failed first mover accounts for the vast majority.

Tesla's accident certainly doesn't mean Tesla's failure, but the blow is certain. A conventional car may have one accident in a thousand vehicles, but the tolerance for driverless cars may be 1 in 100,000. It's unfair, but it's normal, innovation is so hard, you either don't fight, or you have to endure this unfairness.

Zhou Shi has nothing to say, and Musk doesn't need his comfort. However, in the event of such a big accident, the cooperation between Tesla and Mobileye may change. It's not just a matter of technology, it's also a question of responsibility.

Is there a problem with Mobileye's driverless technology? There must be a problem, this technology cannot succeed in a short period of time, but the problem is that without enough road data, it is difficult for autonomous driving to succeed. If you don't succeed, you can't go on the road, so the chicken or the egg has become a very dialectical question in the direction of driverless cars. That's why Zhou Shi thought about acquiring Avis, such a heavy asset-heavy and high-debt car rental company.

"How are we doing with the acquisition of Avis?" Zhou Shi came to Yelp's headquarters and approached Shen Haoyu to ask, he looked at the stock price of Avis, which had risen by 60 percent from near its low.

"We're talking!"

It was not Yelp that initiated the acquisition of Avis, but a consortium formed by Galaxy Capital, which included partners such as Silver Lake Capital in addition to Yelp and Guoke. Zhou Shi's acquisition of Avis is not because of the profitability of this company, but in the hope of getting more additional income through it, such as making Chery Automobile and Saab Automobile enter the European and American markets as an option.

Geely entered the British market by first acquiring a taxi company. It can be seen that the winding path is not a high view that Zhou Shi has. It's just that whether or not such a company can be acquired, Zhou Shi has no confidence. For example, Lenovo has a market value of less than $10 billion, but can anyone really buy Lenovo with $10 billion? I'm afraid not necessarily, fortunately, fortunately, Zhou Shi opened a pig's foot halo and was able to make his wishes come true.
