Huang Renxun was puzzled: "I still have two partners, and I need the consent of all three of us, should I go back and consider it?"

Zhang Chen stared at Huang Renxun for a few seconds, and looked at Huang Renxun a little hairy.

Zhang Chen said slowly: "Jensen, I understand your thoughts, but just having a good product does not mean success, 3dfx's current valuation is only less than 50 million US dollars, and the other party has firmly occupied the high-end market of 3D accelerator cards, as long as you don't make mistakes, nVIDIA has no real chance." ”

Huang Renxun wavered slightly, and Zhang Chen continued: "In this way, if you can convince the other two companions to accept my investment, I personally promise to order at least 500,000 NV3 chips within this year, and we will fully assist in the listing of nVIDIA." ”

Huang Renxun's heart was shocked, and he blurted out: "500,000 pieces? Are you sure that the Matrix you are making now can sell 500,000 units within the year?"

Zhang Chen avoided the important and took it lightly: "I also have a computer company in China, and it is expected to sell at least 150,000 units next year. ”

Huang Renxun didn't know if what Zhang Chen said was true or false for a while, he himself was a big fool, so he was naturally suspicious of other people's words.

Zhang Chen saw Huang Renxun's expression and smiled: "Actually, you don't need to doubt that this deal is beneficial to you." Even at the price of $45 per chip, 500,000 pieces are $22.5 million, and the chip manufacturing cost and R&D cost are about $25 after being evenly apportioned, and the profit of this order is at least $10 million. ”

"Moreover, Tinder Source is now an alliance with IDG, and you should know the layout of IDG in computer professional media, and recently we jointly acquired the largest computer media in China, Computer News, and our cooperation, the role of your marketing is self-evident. ”

Huang Renxun was really tempted, he was born poor, although he was later admitted to Stanford University as a graduate student with his own hard work and intelligence, and then entered the AMD job, which can be regarded as entering the middle class. But if his Nvidia goes bankrupt, he will also take a leave of absence and go bankrupt.

He can't afford to lose.

Faced with such an opportunity, what should I do?Convince my peers to accept it?Will they accept it?Yes, Pream and Chris are simple technicians, who don't know anything about business and never express an opinion.

In other words, as long as he agrees to Zhang Chen's conditions, the current predicament faced by NVIDIA will be solved, and it will be able to ensure its survival in the next few years.

But 40% of the shares are still too distressing.

Huang Renxun is at war in his heart, Zhang Chen has already said everything he should say, there is no need to be bitter, it just so happened that Britney finished dancing another song, Zhang Chen threw down Huang Renxun and talked and laughed with Britney.

He really didn't worry about whether he could win Nvidia, since his rebirth, the only companies he invested in were Amazon and eBay that made him feel a little unsafe at the time.

The concept of e-commerce is now too hot, even some domestic technical secondary schools have urgently opened e-commerce majors, although the things taught are not related to the real e-commerce wind, but it can also show how strong the wind is now.

Not to mention a pig, even an elephant can blow it.

And Amazon and eBay are already well-known websites, and many investment institutions are staring at them, if Zhang Chen didn't know that these two would definitely be able to do it and spend a lot of money to impress them, this kind of opportunity would not be the turn of the spark.

And the other companies he invested, no one can guarantee what the future will be like in this era, even if there are venture capitalists who can see their potential, it is only a shot with dates and dates, until these companies really complete the early leap development and become new star companies, there will be more venture capital and investment banks to show interest in them.

As for Nvidia in front of us, it is a small company that has failed twice, received $7 million in R&D funds from Sega, but only developed a semi-finished product that was abandoned by Sega.

As for whether its third generation will succeed, who knows? No one even wants to know that it is too inconspicuous right now.

In the graphics card industry, 3dfx is high in the cloud and enjoys the entire blue ocean, and the following S3, Trident, ATI, and silicon... Many 2D graphics cards are fighting hard in the Red Sea, and at the same time, they build tall ladders to see the scenery.

nVIDIA is one of the most inconspicuous of these companies.

Two months ago, Huang Renxun also tried to find the source of the fire. At that time, Blancuffen chatted with him for 20 minutes, and he felt that this guy was not very reliable, and Huang Renxun's asking price was too high, his valuation of nVidia was only 5 million US dollars, and he was only willing to invest 1 million to account for 20%, while Huang Renxun wanted to get at least 3 million investment funds to complete NV3 research and development.

In the end, the gap between the asking prices of the two sides was too large, and the negotiations broke down, and Huang Renxun did not find any more investors, gritted his teeth, and found another 200,000 US dollars from his parents.

Historically, after the release of riva128, there were many bugs, which was also caused by insufficient development funds, and now there are only six or seven R&D personnel in the entire NVIDIA, and there are not enough people to catch insects. It wasn't until it was well received by the market after its launch and the funds were withdrawn that Huang Renxun had the money to make an improved version of RIVA128 - RIVA128ZX.

And now, if nVIDIA receives the investment from Tinder, with enough development funds, the Riva128 will definitely be stronger than in the previous life.

Today's party, Zhang Chen still likes it, not only Snoop Dogg, but also Jay-Z, who has just emerged in the music scene and will be called the greatest rapper of all time in the future.

Snoop Dogg, as the leader of the West Coast gang rap, naturally can't tolerate Jay-Z, a junior from the East Coast, going wild on his own chassis. But fortunately, rappers generally don't do anything if they don't like each other, they will only diss each other (mutual **), which makes the surrounding spectators excited.

"What do you think of his singing?" Zhang Chen asked Britney Spears beside him.

Britney gestured indecently to the rhythm and said, "It's so cool, I didn't expect their scene to be so strong." ”

Zhang Chen said with a smile: "This guy will definitely be able to become an emperor superstar, just like you." ”

Britney turned her head to look at Zhang Chen, with a sweet smile.

"By the way, this form of combination is not for you, so let's fly solo. Zhang Chen gave Britney a piece of advice and smiled at Huang Renxun who came over.

Huang Renxun found that Britney was by Zhang Chen's side, and he was also shocked by the young girl's appearance, so he couldn't help but look at it twice: "Zack, I am willing to consider your proposal, I need to go back and have a meeting with my partners now to discuss this matter, and I will inform you as soon as I have the result." Huang Renxun handed Zhang Chen a business card, "This is my contact information." ”

Zhang Chen didn't have a business card, just exchanged phone numbers with Huang Renxun, and smiled at Huang Renxun: "Jensen, in the IT world, I'm not afraid of coming late, I'm only afraid of slowness, but if you want to act fast, it's impossible without financial and operational assistance, don't wait until others occupy the market before you think of regret." ”
