The ensuing negotiations became very efficient, mainly because the topics became more targeted and technical, and Alfred and his two advisors were generally satisfied with the use of the funds raised.

After exchanging views on a series of investment projects such as the establishment and expansion of branches in various countries and the strengthening of North American branches, including the establishment of a magnificent headquarters building in Silicon Valley, the construction of five computer rooms in the United States, the formulation of the next R&D technology goals, and the improvement and increase of QQ member value-added service business, the atmosphere of the meeting became much more harmonious.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Chongguang did the east feasted Alfred at the Kempinski Hotel restaurant, and agreed to take him to have a good time in the northern capital in the next few days.

After the banquet, Hu Yiting instructed Xiaoma: "You make arrangements, and then serve this master well, as a state guest, take him to play enough in various scenic spots in the northern capital, and I will accompany him." ”

"No problem!"

Xiaoma is now in high spirits, thinking that the valuation of Chongguang's listing can reach at least 20 billion US dollars, he is so excited that he can't help but shake his hands all the time, Hu Yiting promised him 1% of the equity, which means that his net worth exceeds 1 billion yuan, Xiaoma has no concept of this, and has been imagining how much space this money can fill.

Hu Yiting didn't forget about it, and said with a smile: "In addition, don't delay the subscription of the company's internal employee shares, the reward of the reward, the subscription of the subscription, combined with the human resources department to come up with a specific plan, Xiaoma, you are a great hero, 1% of the equity is what you deserve!"

"Thank you, Mr. Hu, hehehe......" Xiao Ma smiled softly, when he joined Chongguang a year ago, how could he have imagined that he would become a billionaire today!

After the group left, Alfred was also in a good mood. Goldman Sachs has made a lot of money this time, and the next step is Goldman Sachs' best packaging and listing link, as long as it fools investors, then this IPO that shocks the market will be a certainty.

Since the rise of the wave of Internet technology entrepreneurship, Goldman Sachs Investment has always wanted to make a big deal in the NASDAQ market, but because this industry is too risky, the technical uncertainty is too high, and there are many small companies, the investment prospects are extremely unpredictable, so it has not been able to get off the phone. When a good company is finally found, it is often occupied by those venture capitalists, and the Nasdaq is just a small pool compared to the Standard & Poor's stock in the New York Stock Exchange market, which they are good at, and it has been fully occupied by those venture capital firms with a keen sense of smell and dexterity.

But Goldman Sachs never relaxed its coveting of this market, until it discovered Chongguang QQ, a shining gold brick that was not encroached upon by venture capital, and after carefully analyzing the operation model and development prospects of Chongguang QQ, the upper echelons of Goldman Sachs issued a follow-up and bite chase order to Alfred.

Alfred's office team brought in computer technology experts for this purpose, and after an in-depth analysis and experience of QQ, the answer was extremely satisfactory. This is a viral enterprise that is eating away at AOL's Internet chat room business, with rapid customer development, high user stickiness, and has been making profits, and the future is limitless, and the Internet chat room business will be replaced by the Internet instant messaging it represents!

After several contacts with the pony, Alfred became more enthusiastic about the deal, seeing the Chinese company's desperate desire to list in the United States.

So Alfred used all kinds of connections to bite Chongguang tightly, and did not hesitate to use Goldman Sachs' influence on Capitol Hill to settle Intel's retaliatory strike for him, which led to his honeymoon all the way to today.

After this meeting and negotiation with Hu Yiting, the soul of Chongguang, he believes that the next unprecedented IPO of Chinese concept stocks will definitely set off a huge wave in the NASDAQ market!

This time, Goldman Sachs will show its strong energy to technology companies in Silicon Valley and even around the world, and let those venture capital companies on Dune Road and University Road see what a real big IPO is!

Thinking of the performance that QQ can bring to himself after its listing, and the ensuing year-end bonus dividends of tens of millions of dollars within Goldman Sachs, Alfred smiled in the bathtub of the hotel room, and a fierce man soaked his head in the water.

In the next three days, Hu Yiting and Xiaoma accompanied Alfred and others to visit Chongguang Company, leaving footprints in the major tourist attractions in the northern capital, and with the help of lawyers and financial experts invited by Chongguang, they further improved the terms of the listing agreement.

At this time, the CUP war in the North American market was in full swing.

Since September 1, Shigemon's patent exclusivity agreement with Cyrix has expired, and Intel and AMD have finally been able to bring their long-awaited new multi-function processors to market.

The wait was long, but Intel is confident that the large number of Pentium II processors stockpiled in warehouses has shown their ambition to reclaim the leading position in the PC processor market.

At the end of August, all Intel dealers around the world were ready to warm up for the launch of new products, and Intel advertisements for "waiting for the lights and waiting for the lights" were constantly inserted on TV stations, and in the early morning of September 1, Intel sent trucks to all warehouses around the world at the same time, sending sufficient supplies to all the surrounding dealers and agents.

The advertorials in magazines and newspapers are overwhelming, all of which speak with data, proving that the Pentium 2nd generation processor with integrated MMX instruction set is the highest running score among the multi-functional processors of the same frequency! It is at least 3% higher than the Stegosaurus processor of the same frequency!

The most important thing is that Intel uses the same 321-pin Socket7 interface as the generation of Pentium, and users who used the Pentium generation before will no longer need to upgrade the motherboard, Intel President Grove swore to reporters at the new product launch conference that compared to the Cyrix Stegosaurus that needs to replace the motherboard to use, Intel considers more for users, and the performance is more powerful, and the high-speed L2 cache integrated inside the processor is faster than the onboard L2 cache on the Cyrix Stegosaurus SLOT1 interface。

This was immediately met with a counterattack from Cyrix, with President Friedman retorting in the newspapers, saying that the Pentium II was nothing more than a sleek toy with a high price tag to support a negligible performance gain.

"Our Stegosaurus has the highest cost performance! The built-in Shadow Overlord instruction set and the MMX instruction set are from the same source, why would anyone choose the Pentium 2 with 15% more money than the Stegosaurus? Is it just for that mere 3% redundant performance?"

And the market seems to have proved Friedman's prediction, the sales momentum of the Pentium II was not as good as Intel's expectations in the first week, to add insult to injury, two weeks later, Cyrix announced that it would adjust the price of the Stegosaurus processor, and the price of the main model 166MHz Stegosaurus processor that TSMC had just completed a technological breakthrough for its foundry production was reduced to $238, compared with the $299 same frequency Pentium 2, the price difference between the two was widened to 20%!

However, in fact, the real hero of Cyrix's price reduction is not Intel's Pentium II, but AMD's silent launch of the K6 processor, which also uses Intel's Socket7 interface, and also integrates the Shadow Overlord instruction set, but it is just missing the L2 cache, but its main 120Mhz product can provide overclocking operation in the 166Mhz state, as long as the user makes a brave self-responsible power-up jumper on the motherboard, it can make the CPU carry out a high-temperature omelette at full load with the support of the fan, and the performance is only 15 worse than the 166Mhz Pentium 2%, and its price is only 149 US dollars, compared to the same frequency 6x86-DRAGON of cyrix 198 US dollars, it is simply a conscientious enterprise, so once it was launched, it was sought after by those users who did not have money in the market, and there was a situation where supply exceeded demand in a short period of time.

Faced with two rivals with different numbers of channels, Intel finally announced in November that it would launch a Pentium II processor without L2 cache, named Celeron, with a frequency of 166MHz and a price of $150.

Cyrix had no choice but to slash the price of the 6X86-DRAGON to $150, determined to fight the two to the end.

AMD had no choice but to follow up with the price cut and announced that it was about to launch the new 150Mhz K6, which was immediately highly anticipated by the market for its overclocking performance.
