Chapter 637: This is blackmail

After receiving the official notice from the negotiator of Blizzard Power Machinery Company, Mei Yuanze, who has been anxious about rumors these days, is very helpless, but he is also faintly happy.

Lao Máozi agreed that the accounting accountants in Huaxia and the accounting accountants in Hong Kong would jointly account for the current value of the Qinxi Rolling Equipment Factory, and then negotiate the purchase price based on the exact value of the Qinxi Rolling Equipment Factory. Obviously, these old máosons no longer know where to learn about the controversy within the Machinery Industry Department, and they also understand that now Mei Yuanze is no longer able to forcefully suppress the voice within the Machinery Industry Department. This made Mei Yuanze, who thought he had lost face, a little more hatred for Wang Guozheng

Nowadays, in the performance evaluation of Chinese officials, "the introduction of foreign capital" is an important indicator, as for whether it is "agreement foreign investment" or actual foreign investment, whether it is foreign capital of "fake foreign devils" or foreign capital with yellow hair and blue eyes, whether it is foreign capital that comes to borrow money to "borrow jī raw eggs" or foreign capital that is specialized in exchange for cheap land, this is not important, the important thing is that there is indeed foreign capital introduced, and it can be taken out and reported to the leadership. What's more, in Mei Yuanze's view, Blizzard Power Machinery Company's acquisition of Qinxi Rolling Equipment Factory, the state can at least recover more than 40 million yuan of assets of nearly 50 million yuan, which is already a very good result

If it weren't for Wang Guozheng, they would have been able to settle this matter before the year, and let Mei Yuanze have a peaceful New Year. But now it is not possible, the Russians do not have the custom of the chūn festival, so in the days of the chūn festival, their machinery industry department is still uneasy, busy with the asset audit of the Qinxi rolling equipment factory.

Although Ma Yongfu and Yang Junyi didn't say anything about Fang Mingyuan's approach, in essence, there were still some people who didn't understand. In this era, national assets are like a piece of féiròu left unattended on the table, and everyone wants to go up and bite it, and they must open their mouths wide, and they want to swallow this piece of féiròu in one bite like a great white shark in the sea. And people like Fang Mingyuan are simply the other

In fact, many officials in this era did not realize that in fact, land is a very precious wealth, for them, land is just something that can be obtained with a piece of approval from the state, and Pingchuan County is facing the need to merge into Fengyuan, a county under the jurisdiction of a prefecture-level city, and a county or district under the jurisdiction of a provincial capital, this land price is very different. Fang Mingyuan has long passed the stage of primitive accumulation, and at this point, what he cares about is not only the growth of wealth, but also the importance of brand reputation and influence. Blizzard Power Machinery Company has been acquired by the Fang family, although it is still a secret for people in Qinxi Province, but the secret will be revealed one day, Fang Mingyuan did not think of that day, and people could make irresponsible remarks in this acquisition incident.

Naturally, Umehara didn't understand that there was such a mystery in this, and the fact that Blizzard Power Machinery Company was able to take a step back made him feel that this old máo didn't seem to be as annoying as the rumors said. Although the results of the accounting will take time, Mei Yuanze believes that the actual value of the Qinxi Rolling Equipment Factory is higher than his initial offer, but it is also limited, and the price of smashing the pot and selling iron is about 70 million yuan.

"Welcome to Mr. Chris Rock" In front of the Mén of the Lishan Villa, Fang Mingyuan smiled and stretched out his hand to the middle-aged Caucasian man led by him.

"It's an honor to be able to meet Mr. Fang, you are really young beyond my expectations" The Caucasian man reached out and shook Fang Mingyuan's hand, but his smile was a little surprised. Fang Mingyuan smiled and let Chris Rock and the others into the villa. He had really heard a little too much of such feelings, and now he was a little numb. Chris Rock, this name is not uncommon in Europe and the United States, but Thomas Chris Rock is a special envoy from the United States Intel Corporation.

In the villa, everyone sat down, Chris Rock, looked around, and at the same time looked at Fang Mingyuan. It's so young, so young that it's hard to believe.

Chris Rock appeared here because ten days ago, the president of Intel Corporation received a letter from the famous American director James Cameron, but the contents of the letter surprised him. In the letter, Cameron made it clear that a friend of Cameron's in China had discovered a bug in the processor while using a computer with an Intel Pentium processor, and that he was now planning to make a deal with Intel. Of course, Intel can refuse this jiāo easy, but in that case, the other party will announce to Quan Shijie that this bug exists. So Chris Rock is here.

To be honest, Chris Rock doesn't believe that there are any bugs in the company's Pentium processor, you know, the Pentium processor is a major innovation in Intel's x86 series. Among them, the number of transistors has been greatly increased, the floating-point arithmetic function has been enhanced, and the operating voltage has been reduced to 3.3V, which has not changed for ten years. The Pentium architecture chip delivers up to twice the performance of the 486 processor per clock cycle. It makes it easier for computers to integrate "real-world shijie" data, such as voice, voice, handwriting, and pictures. After its launch, "Pentium" appeared frequently in comics and TV talk shows, and soon became a household word.

It has been nearly a year since its launch, and it is the first time I have heard someone say that the Pentium processor is flawed, if it were not for the existence of James Cameron, Intel would definitely think that this is someone who is idle and bored and joking.

"Mr. Fang, now can you tell us about your plans?" After the initial non-nutritious greetings, Chris Rock got back to business.

"Ahem, in fact, the thing is very simple, our company uses a large number of computers equipped with your company's Pentium processor, a very chance, we found that there was an error in the computer, after repeated calculations, and repeated shiyan, we spent two months, confirmed, the problem is your Pentium processor. As for what kind of mistake it was, when we reach an agreement, we will naturally have detailed information provided. Fang Mingyuan smiled.

Chris Rock was slightly startled in his heart, but he still said quietly: "Then I don't know what Mr. Fang plans to exchange this for?"

"Needless to say, let's calculate what your company will lose in this matter. First, even if we don't approve this matter, I believe that others will definitely find out in the future, and your company will have to take back these defective processors. Of course, your company can also refuse to admit it and refuse to recycle, but I want to be a responsible company, and the results of doing so will outweigh the losses," Fang Mingyuan certainly wouldn't follow his line of thought, "I think Intel's shareholders definitely don't want the company's original image of 'dynamic innovators at the forefront of technology' to be distorted into a 'typical large company', right?"

Chris Rock was stunned for a moment, then nodded helplessly. There's no doubt about it. Especially when Intel's supremacy is still being challenged by other companies led by AMD, refusing to admit mistakes is tantamount to asking for a dead end.

"Second, the later you find out, the more processors you need to recycle, the more useless work your company will do in production, and the greater the loss, and of course, the more points your company will lose in the eyes of consumers, and the more chances you will have to give AMD to them. When I say this, does Mr. Chrisrock approve?" Fang Mingyuan's smile was full of sunshine, but Chrisrook's heart seemed to sink into the boundless darkness.

"Thirdly, I believe that your company has taken the initiative to announce the existence of defects and recycle these defective products, which is completely different from being announced by others and having to recycle. I think Mr. Chris Rock will be able to think through the pros and cons of this. ”

Fang Mingyuan looked at Chris Rock with a pensive face, not at all worried that Intel would not give in.

Because he remembers very clearly, in his previous life, Intel suffered a big loss in this matter, when this matter was revealed, at first Intel did not think so, but as the news spread, IBM first responded, announcing on the Internet, "The company has decided that IBM will stop putting personal computers equipped with Pentium products on the market." This gave Intel a head start, and Intel suffered one of the worst crises in the company's history.

Eventually, Intel decided to adopt an unconditional replacement policy for Pentium processors with floating-point defects. The incident cost Intel nearly $500 million in damages, and the company's public image was greatly damaged. That was a rare setback for Intel since the 1980s, when it slipped from the 50th to nearly 100th place in Fortune's Shijie, even as its sales and profits grew.

Even if Chris Rock refuses, it doesn't matter, Fang Mingyuan believes that AMD will be happy to huā a certain price in exchange for this news, but in that case, in Fang Mingyuan's opinion, the profit that can be made is much less, after all, in today's world, Intel is the overlord of processor production in the computer industry. AMD, for the most part, has been closely catching up with Intel, but it has rarely been able to surpass it.

"I'll admit that Mr. Fang, you have a point, but until you are sure that the bugs you are talking about exist, these are only theoretical things. Chris Rock shrugged, "A match and a bomb are theoretically just as powerful. ”
