0524 Ridiculous Lobbying

"The visiting lineup is so neat, the purpose is really not so simple." Tang Huan, who had a flash of thought in his heart, made a gesture of listening.

"Although there are no accurate statistics, it can basically be concluded that Fangyuan Computer Company is currently the world's largest memory buyer. Among them, Japanese semiconductor companies occupy a large part of the share. ”

Observing Tang Huan's expression, Robert. Noyce said slowly: "At present, in the trade between the United States and Japan, the friction strength of semiconductor products is in the forefront. And in this international trade war, the entire U.S. semiconductor industry is already at a disadvantage and is in danger of collective collapse. As a result, Intel has formed a response alliance with some of its peers. But that's not enough, we hope to get the support of Fangyuan Computer. After all, if the situation really deteriorates to the point where it is out of control, the market price will be manipulated by Japanese manufacturers at will. ”

Robert. The alliance that Noyce is talking about is not a showmanship, and the American business elite, who have always liked to go it alone and compete freely, has indeed produced tangible results.

For example, the year before last, that is, in October 1981, Intel and AMD reached a cooperation agreement, and the two sides agreed to develop new semiconductor products together, and each other can also produce each other's chips, AMD's Intel80286 compatible product Am286 is an example.

Of course, in the original time and space, when Intel completely shifted its main business to microprocessors and launched Intel80386, it forcefully and unilaterally terminated the agreement, otherwise AMD would not have dragged this lawsuit all the way into the 1990s.

Last year, in February 1982, 50 U.S. companies secretly agreed to develop new semiconductor technology. Carry out technical cooperation to avoid the waste of resources caused by the duplication of funds and manpower.

However, they were soon hit head-on, and Japan's Fujitsu was the first to introduce a 256KB dynamic random access memory chip.

To be honest, for this kind of loose alliance that can withdraw or flip the table at any time according to the needs of its own interests. Tang Huan was not interested, so he only asked his subordinates to deal with it.

You must know that although the entire semiconductor industry has an incomparably brilliant high-tech halo, there are also high and low technical content.

In the current semiconductor war between Japan and the United States, dynamic random access memory, which has been bloodbathed in the head, is important, but it is not the most valuable field, such as CPU and DigitalSignalProcessor, which is the flow of digital signal processors, or DSPs, is even better.

Tang Huan is developing such products including RISC processors, video chips, audio chips, network chips and so on. While avoiding this kind of industry war with a national background behind it, while enjoying the convenience brought by Japan's high-quality and low-cost DRAM to its own computer hardware products.

Now Robert. Noyce suddenly came and lobbied Fangyuan Computer Company, the world's largest memory buyer, with compassion and compassion to support the United States, which was at a disadvantage in the semiconductor war between Japan and the United States.

How to support? Could it be that Brother took the initiative to give up the high-quality and inexpensive DRAM - this convenience delivered to the door?

For the sake of the overall interests of your semiconductor company alliance, let me sacrifice some interests?

Isn't that a joke!

Collapse is collapse, anyway, in addition to you, I also have Treasure Island, Singapore, South Korea. and even STMicroelectronics in Europe to make spare tires. In order to avoid the wolf's ambitions, Japanese manufacturers will monopolize prices in the future.

Tang Huan, who had just participated in a movie and had further improved his acting skills, had a smile on his face, and nodded again and again with deep understanding, "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold." I have to say, your analysis does make sense. I wonder what Robert wants Fangyuan Computer Company to do? ”

"It's simple. Fangyuan Computer Company tilted the share of the purchase order to the members of our alliance. "Robert. According to Tang Huan's conjecture, Noyce made a request.

Hearing this, although Tang Huan had expected it a long time ago, he still couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart. "Are you determined to take me and Fangyuan Computer Company, and don't dare to offend the entire semiconductor industry in the United States?"

"That's it......" Tang Huan dragged out his voice, "Robert, you may not have noticed, in fact, Fangyuan Computer Company has always supported its counterparts in the United States, and has handed over considerable orders to Intel, AMD, Motorola and other companies in the industry, take the purchase of Intel80286 as an example, there are 100,000 in the near future, and 300,000 in the medium term, and they are all very generous prices." ”

"Intel is a storage company after all." Robert. Noyce shook his head slightly graciously, "And we hope that the support of Fangyuan Computer Company will also focus on dynamic random access memory." ”

"What is the attitude of IBM, HP, DEC, CDC, and many other large companies that also produce computer products, as well as many other PC manufacturers?" Tang Huan asked playfully.

"Their purchase volume can not be compared with Fangyuan Computer Company, as long as Fangyuan Computer Company takes the lead in making a statement, I believe it will be a response. At that time, Fangyuan Computer Company and Tang will become the leaders of the entire industry. "Robert. Noyce sneered.

Is Dangge's company as isolated as Wang An's computer company? Don't try to kidnap me with the big picture!

Tang Huan sneered in his heart and replied lazily, "Fangyuan Computer Company, like Intel, is a listed public company, so we need to be responsible for the interests of shareholders. ”

Tang Huan's high-sounding rhetoric choked Robert. Noyce was at a loss for words, and the scene suddenly cooled down.

Seeing this scene, Gordon. Moore hurriedly played a round and changed the topic with a smile, "I heard that after EA moved from Cupertino to Redwood City, Fangyuan Computer Company also has a relocation plan and got the land in CityofMountainView?" ”

"Yes, these two companies are mature enough, if they stay under my nose and do things, they will only become more and more timid, and the young eagles will always have to spread their wings from the nest." Tang Huan showed an embarrassing gesture of sending his daughter to marry, "This also shows that my influence on EA and Fangyuan Computer Company is inevitably declining." ”

"Yes, let Tang Huan, a cunning guy, find an excuse to excuse himself!" Gordon. Moore glanced at Robert without embarrassment. Noyce, that clearly means, "Is it necessary to go on?" (To be continued.) )
