752 Capitalism is not about a dinner party

"The XRM architecture chips produced by AMD are not allowed to be sold directly in the market, but are completely sold by our new venture electronics group as a global distributor. The market pricing mechanism is determined by us, and we do not make an upfront payment, but rather ...... The chip leaves the factory for three months, and the payment for the previous quarter is settled. Of course, we will reserve a part of the profit according to the production cost......" Lin Qi thought for a while and said, "Next year, that is, in 93, we will give AMD a production order of no less than 10 million CPU chips...... This part of the order,You can get the Luban 1 generation architecture authorization,The main frequency can be Pangu 7 generation default CPU frequency is slightly higher,Pangu 7 generation default CPU frequency is 66MHZ,This one is at a frequency of 75MHZ,I give AMD the factory price,Quad-core chip is $160 a piece。 After that, the ex-factory price was reduced by $1 per month until the production was discontinued, what do you think?"

Jerry Sanders couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard this, this treatment was much lower than the previous treatment. In the past, AMD was able to discuss the ex-factory price of chips with the new venture electronics group, because the high-end chips are monopolized by AMD, so, under normal circumstances, the ex-factory price proposed by AMD, as long as it is not too excessive, the new venture electronics group will not put forward opinions.

"May I ask, will the chips we produce be used in the subsequent version of the Pangu 7th generation computer?" asked Jerry Sanders.

"No!" Lin Qi said, "At present, the CPU of the official version of Pangu 7th generation is mainly produced by Xinchuang Semiconductor and the second supplier Lishan Semiconductor. 66MHZ is enough, due to the advanced nature of our architecture, the performance is more than twice as strong as Intel's chip, Pangu 7 generation does not need to configure a better and more expensive CPU for the time being! This is more than a pre-installed chip and a high-frequency CPU is for users to DIY the market for replacing CPU chips, as well as the market of some compatible machine manufacturers. ”

"You can ask, how much would you sell a customer for a chip for $160?" said Jerry Sanders, "I'm just curious, I don't mean anything else." ”

"The retail price in the market is not less than $360 a piece, and the purchase of more than 10,000 pieces by compatible machine manufacturers is $300 a piece. Lin Qi said with peace of mind, "Of course, the premise of entrusting your production is that the sales are completely led by us, and AMD will be a good foundry and make profits from the OEM production part!"

Hearing Lin Qi's words, Jerry Sanders' face couldn't help but darken, and he was numb...... The profits are all earned by the black-hearted new start-up electronics group, and AMD is really called as an old scalper!

But now there is no choice, AMD has been blindly optimistic about performance in the past few years, which has caused Jerry Sanders to borrow heavily to expand the number of AMD fabs.

A large number of newly launched 0.8 micron production lines are in a state of inefficient operation due to insufficient orders. The chips produced are simply not enough to offset the depreciation of equipment and the interest on bank loans.

It is precisely because of this that Jerry Sanders, the founder of AMD, endured the unhappiness and grievances in his heart and signed a new contract with Lin Qi.

After the signing of this new contract, AMD received orders, but only made a small OEM profit.

At the same time, the New Venture Electronics Group will also send a commissioner to AMD to supervise to ensure that every XRM architecture chip produced by AMD is sold through the channels of the New Venture Electronics Group, rather than through other ways to the market.

……

"Mr. Lin, why do you want to give AMD a way to live?" asked Xiao quietly after Jerry Sanders left.

"Because I don't want to see Intel become a dominant player in the U.S. semiconductor manufacturing industry. Lin Qi said, "In addition, some of the XRM-based chips are made in the United States, which can make Americans less hostile and wary." ”

"Even if it is completely produced for the United States, they can't be completely reassuring us, right?" said Xiao.

"That's right, let's say we can't produce the chips ourselves and leave it all to the United States, and the next step is to ask us to completely license the patents for the XRM architecture to American companies. The next step is for American semiconductor companies to pick peaches and seize the market share of the entire XRM architecture chip. Subsequently, the United States may have to modify the XRM architecture to make it a new technology route, but the patents are not shared with us, forcing us to ......step aside because we are not compatible with the mainstream market," Lin Qi said with a sneer.

"The Americans are also bad!" is less than not doubting, Mr. Lin's judgment, after all, Mr. Lin's business is inseparable from intrigue with opponents all over the world, and there are not many good people in essence. Even if he has always kept his promise, he has not been given a chance to betray! In other words, he has not provided a huge reward to induce him to betray!

Once the temptation is enough, foreign friends may be the deepest to insert themselves!

In this era, many Chinese people think too well of foreigners. It is believed that success is achieved by "high quality foreigners" and "high moral character of foreigners".

But in reality, on the contrary, the bad deeds of quite a few successful people are also glorified as so-called informalities. All kinds of predators and treachery are also glorified as "high IQ".

The developed countries are developed because of hundreds of years of development. Thousands of years of feudalism could not double the size of the economy. However, in the capitalist era, the annual economic growth rate can be faster than 1%, and the annual development rate of 1~2% can be maintained. Because, the rate of economic development in thousands of years, with an annualized rate of a few ten-thousandths, has almost stagnated.

After entering the industrial revolution, the first industrial revolution once made the annualized development rate of human beings exceed 1%. The growth rate of 1% is already visible.

And unlike in ancient times, it was almost a scramble for stock. In the eyes of the ancients, social wealth is limited, and if you take more, I will take less. The view here is not even wrong for thousands of years in feudal times, but the people who adhere to this view, before the Industrial Revolution, are right. On the contrary, in the feudal era, when technological development was stagnant, it was a mistake to think that people would win the day, and that people could create more wealth by better governance. Without the development of technology, there will be no growth in the total amount of wealth, all kinds of governance, and the growth of wealth is very small, and more will take away the cake of others.

After each industrial revolution, the rate of innovation has accelerated every year, so the overall GDP rate is actually faster than in the past.

However, because the total amount of developed countries is larger, and some developed countries no longer have the ability to innovate, and the total wealth is just the old capital accumulated by their ancestors, the economy of many developed countries is relatively stagnant.

Although the growth of human wealth is essentially dependent on technological innovation, new product variety, efficiency improvement and demand increase. However, since ancient times, business competition has operated according to the law of the jungle, and this has never changed.

"Therefore, in any case, the dominance of core technology upgrading must be in our own hands. Lin Qi indifferently drank the tea in the teacup.

Capitalism is never about inviting guests to dinner, nor is it about warmth. It's a hideous and bloody face, a brutal competition between you and me.

Whether it is the United States, Europe, or Japan, the old capitalist countries, the struggle between capitals is very cruel. A very small number of winners eat the market cake, and the losers are psychologically fragile to queue up on the rooftop.

The stock market crash and the financial crisis are just the concentrated outbreak of the cruel side of the jungle.

But all the time, not only the financial market, but any market that has to do with business and money, all the time, is this cruel law of the jungle.

Even if you were a warm partner before, if you show a flaw in the next second, then your former partner will become a hunter who hunts you.

In a word......

Don't expose your weaknesses, don't expose your weaknesses, don't expose your weaknesses......

If you stay strong, then the years will be quiet, and everything will be so beautiful, so polite, so compassionate, and kind......

Once a partner or adversary feels that he can take his place, then everything will fall apart and order will turn into chaos.

The so-called efficiency of capitalism is, in essence, ...... Removing those who are eliminated, only a few successful strong ones are counted, and the survivor bias leads to high market efficiency and high returns.

Once the once strong person is excluded from the statistical category because of weakness, then the former strong person can only be seen in the case of the loser in the business textbook.
