The reason why Wu Ming cares so much about Micron's technology is also because his companies need a large number of memory chips.

After the Star Computer is put into production, a large number of RAM memory chips and ROM memory chips are required.

However, the Star Computer uses the reduced instruction set CPU "ARM8 chip" developed by Aihua Electronics. Therefore, it will inevitably have a bad relationship with Intel, which is in the CPU camp with complex instruction sets.

And Intel is still a leader in the memory market, and if you want to purchase advanced memory chips from them, the price will definitely not be low, or may not even be available.

Wu Ming's other core company, Xingchen Entertainment, also needs a large number of cheap memory chips.

The arcade machines, block machines, and the Phantasy Star (PSB) that are currently being developed all require memory chips.

Even if you forget about arcade machines, you only need hundreds of thousands of chips every year, so they used to be purchased from memory manufacturers in island countries.

Block PCs and PSB home game consoles together require hundreds of millions of memory chips. If he continues to purchase from island countries, Wu Ming is unwilling.

Moreover, the cartridges of the cube player and PSB game console are also made of ROM memory chips. More chips are needed for this than for two game consoles, with an estimated billion memory chips.

In the future, the biggest enemy of Star Entertainment will be Nintendo and Sega from the island country, and even Sony in the future.

In order to prevent the memory manufacturers of the island country from uniting to yin themselves and being choked by the feud of the island country, Wu Ming decided to produce memory chips independently.

Aihua Electronics already has a variety of memory chips 8KB technology, so now Xingchen Entertainment's memory chips are purchased from Aihua Electronics.

The 8KB technology is temporarily enough for Star Entertainment. After all, the cube machine doesn't even need a 1KB memory chip, and the PSB only needs an 8KB memory chip according to Wu Ming's design.

But the chip needed by the Star Computer cannot be so backward, at least 16KB, and even 64KB after expansion. Moreover, after the launch of the first generation of Star Computer, the second generation of Star Computer will be developed immediately, and the memory required will be larger.

At present, the world's leading technology is 64KB, and I don't know how much time it will take to develop it.

In order to save time, Wu Mingcai wanted to acquire Micron Technology. Since we can't acquire Micron Technology now, we have to take down Micron Technology's technology.

Accepting the order given by Wu Ming, Lu Junxiang immediately rushed to Micron Technology.

Negotiations have now begun with several founders of Micron Technology.

"Lu, why are you here again, we said that Micron Technology has already been invested, and no one else needs to invest. Don't you give up?" asked Joe Parkinson, one of the founders of Micron, confused.

Lu Junxiang hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have given up on acquiring Micron, and I came this time to buy your company's memory chip technology." ”

"What?!" exclaimed Ward Parkinson, another founder.

They really didn't expect that Lu Junxiang couldn't buy their company, and today they want to buy their technology.

Joe Parkinson frowned and refused without hesitation: "Then Mr. Lu, you have made another trip in vain today, we will not sell chip technology." ”

"Mr. Parkinson, please don't be in a hurry to refuse. Lu Junxiang laughed.

Then, Lu Junxiang continued to talk eloquently: "I still know more about the situation of your company, and now Mr. Simpulao already owns 40% of the shares of your company. And if you want to grow Micron, you will have to continue to receive capital injection from Simplau. Sooner or later, your stake will drop below 50% and you will lose control of the company. Guys, I don't know if I'm right?"

Ward Parkinson and the others were silent when they heard this.

Of course, they know that what Lu Junxiang said is right, and if they can, they certainly don't want to lose control of Micron Technology. It's just that for the sake of Micron's development, they have to continue to receive capital injections from Simplau. As a result, the loss of control is inevitable.

Lu Junxiang was relieved when he saw this, and knew that there was a drama in the matter.

He smiled happily and said, "I'm here today to give you another choice." As long as you sell Micron's technology to us, you will have enough funds to develop and expand Micron Technology, and you will continue to have control of Micron Technology. ”

Ward Parkinson and the others thought that this was really the case, so they were a little moved, if they could really do what Lu Junxiang said, it would be better for them.

Joe Parkinson first asked in a deep voice, "Then I don't know how much money you are willing to pay for our technology, Mr. Lu?"

Hearing this, Lu Junxiang's face showed unconcealed joy.

He cheerfully exclaimed, "Because your technology has not yet been tested in mass production, it needs to be improved." I'm willing to pay $5 million for your full suite of technology. ”

Ward Parkinson and the others frowned, obviously not agreeing with Lu Junxiang's statement. Although they have not yet been mass-produced, they have produced a lot of experimental products in the laboratory, and they have improved a lot, which is a relatively mature technology, and 5 million dollars cannot meet them.

"Mr. Lu, you can't buy this technology outside. It will cost at least 20 million dollars before we are willing to sell you the technology. Ward Parkinson pursed his lips and retorted in a deep voice.

Next, the two sides went back and forth, arguing for a long time, and finally negotiated the purchase price.

On behalf of Aihua Electronics, Lu Junxiang purchased all of Micron's technology in memory chips for $14 million.

……

In the evening, Lu Junxiang, who had signed the agreement, couldn't wait to come to the villa to report the good news to Wu Ming.

"Boss, Micron Technology's technology has been obtained!"

Hearing this good news, Wu Minghuo, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly got up and laughed.

"Great!"

After laughing, Wu Ming was a little puzzled, and asked suspiciously, "How did you get the technology so easily?"

64KB memory chip technology is relatively popular now, and those companies that have this technology are hiding it one by one. I don't want to have new people join in and compete with them for the market. Why did Lu Junxiang just spend a day and get the technology in hand.

Lu Junxiang smiled slightly and explained: "This is thanks to Mr. Simplao, who preemptively got the shares of Micron Technology. ”

"Oh, how did this matter have to do with that Simplao again?"

Wu Ming sat back on the sofa and asked with interest.

Lu Junxiang smiled and said, "It's not because that Simplao has too many shares, he alone accounts for 40% of Micron Technology's shares." If his stake increases again, Micron Technology will have the final say. If the people at Micron Technology don't want this kind of thing to happen, they can only obediently accept our conditions. ”

"That's thanks to this Mr. Simplau. ”

Wu Ming pondered for a while, and said, "Next, you will go and acquire EMC and Shugart Technology Company, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

Lu Junxiang nodded, signaling that he understood.
