Chapter 190: Intel's Provocation
The next day, the major American newspapers "Los Angeles Times", "New York Daily", "Washington Post" and other newspapers were reporting Henry's remarks about scolding Intel yesterday, and the three major commercial radio and television companies in the United States, NBC, CBC, and ABC all made special reports on Henry.
In particular, the TV station also invited experts and professors to participate in the program to analyze the meaning of Henry's words!
"Since Mr. Henry Williams said that Intel is garbage in the field of mobile phones, there must be a reason! Now, we have asked experts and professors to ask us to answer our doubts......"
Then the expert professor came to the stage, and then talked for half an hour, listing all kinds of reasons why Henry scolded Intel, such as Intel had not designed a mobile phone chip before, or Intel did not have Qualcomm proficient in cdma technology, so the designed cdma chip would be garbage, etc., and Henry shook his head speechless after watching the show, he was special, there are so many deep meanings behind his words, why don't I know myself?
Intel soon held a press conference to declare: "Qualcomm is a subsidiary of Cisco, so Mr. Williams will speak for Qualcomm." However, Mr. Williams wanted to slander and insult the Intel company with slanderous and insulting words, and our company expressed a strong protest! Intel is in the leading position in the industry in chip design and manufacturing, and no one can match it, and this point must have been recognized by everyone! Mr. Henry Williams thinks that by acquiring the chip design department of a British computer company, he can compete with Intel, which is really ridiculous!
A spokesman for Intel said sarcastically: "Although we know that Mr. Henry Williams likes to buy, but to buy a chip design company, we also need to find a decent company, what kind of company is ARM......! Here, we at Intel are happy to offer some targets to Mr. Henry Williams, such as AMD, ......"
Intel's words are domineering, and they are simply a naked provocation.
What ARM did you Henry Williams buy. If you want to compete with Intel, you can buy AMD, and Intel may still look at it squarely......
After Intel's press conference. It didn't take long for Henry to get the news. When he heard his employees report to him, he really didn't know whether to laugh or get angry!
Intel is so funny that it actually recommended the company to let itself buy. But at the same time, Intel simply despises its own existence, does not take itself seriously at all, and even threatens to let itself buy AMD, and Intel is still not afraid!!
At this time, the major media wanted to interview Henry and wanted to know what kind of counterattack Henry would make to Intel's words!
Henry offered to be interviewed and held a press conference.
"Mr. Williams. Intel held a press conference, and between the words, the smell of gunpowder was full. Especially in the end, Intel bluntly provoked, ARM is a small company, Intel does not pay attention to it at all, and suggests that you buy AMD and then compete with Intel! So, may I ask Mr. Williams, will you buy AMD?" the reporter asked.
"Huh. Henry sneered twice, and then said, "Intel is really loud, but." Sooner or later, it will swallow its words back as they are!! as for me, will I buy AMD?"
Henry paused and said lightly: "Since Intel is so confident, then I will buy AMD and try it in the field of computer processors!"
"Mr. Williams. There is still a big gap between AMD and Intel, and at the moment, it is far from being an opponent of Intel!"
"I know that. Henry smiled, "It doesn't matter if you fall behind, you can catch up." I believe that AMD can surpass Intel. Later, AMD grabbed Intel's market, in case it caused Intel to go bankrupt. Hehe, if Intel wants to be acquired, I can buy it too!"
When the reporters heard this, they were speechless, what else did this do, they didn't even skim the eight words, and they said that Intel was going bankrupt and then being acquired......
However, journalists love these words, and the more this happens, the better the newspaper sells!
After the press conference, the reporters were busy going back to writing.
When Henry returned to the company, Harrison asked, "Chairman, are you really planning to buy AMD?"
Henry nodded, "Well, AMD is not bad, I will consider acquiring it in the future!"
……
……
Henry's quarrel with Intel is over, and in the end, it still depends on the product.
Nokia is actively negotiating, and it will be difficult to convince the company's directors to sell off Nokia's electronics division. For a while, I'm afraid it won't be possible! The Dutch A**I company, Henry, has also formally launched a purchase request to it, and is currently in contact.
A**I is not excluded from being acquired, but the head office is required to remain in the Netherlands, and the majority shareholders of A**I still want to retain some of the shares and manage the company.
Henry thought about it, and these conditions were acceptable.
A**I was already doing very well, and there was no need for management changes. It is also normal for major shareholders to retain some shares, after all, others are also optimistic about the company's development prospects, and they are a little reluctant to sell the company all at once! As for the headquarters to stay in the Netherlands, Henry thinks that there is no big problem!
As long as you get the technology in your hands, it doesn't matter where you're headquartered, even if it's in Africa, it's OK.
The only problem now is the price.
A**I proposed a purchase price of 1.5 billion euros, but Henry thought that 1 billion euros would be enough, and the two sides are still negotiating!
At the same time, Silicon Valley Electronics Group has obtained a technology license from Carl Zeiss and is already developing cameras. A**I company is willing to be acquired, but also because Silicon Valley Electronics Group has Carl Zeiss lens technology, although not as strong as Carl Zeiss, but Silicon Valley Electronics Group's R&D strength is strong, and it is very likely to catch up. At that time, A**I company will be able to get the lens from the parent company Silicon Valley Electronics Group, and it can save a lot of money!
Thanks to the help of Carl Zeiss, the camera development progress of Silicon Valley Electronics Group is very fast, and new products can be released in a few months. Carl Zeiss's lenses, coupled with Silicon Valley Electronics Group's microhard drives, are combined to have a good competitiveness. Although the company's camera products have not been developed, many camera enthusiasts in the outside world have been looking forward to it!
Before the camera pixel increased, the camera still had a sizable market!
In 2000, Sharp developed the first mobile phone with a camera, and the pixels at that time were only 110,000, which was too far from the tens of millions of pixels in the future. When Samsung launched the world's first 10-million-pixel camera phone B600, the mobile phone finally bid farewell to the embarrassing situation of "inferiority" and officially entered the professional level. Naturally, the camera market has shrunk rapidly!!
Let's ask, the camera function of the mobile phone is enough to replace the camera, why buy a camera?
