Chapter 160: Business Talks in the Air
In the last half day in Los Angeles, Wu Tao welcomed AMD CEO Su Lisa and his party in the conference room of the Universal Studios Hotel. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Previously, Wu Tao proposed the acquisition plan, but the other party did not accept it. But as a technology buyer, AMD's attitude is much stronger than Intel's.
Therefore, under the control of the lawyer, the two parties quickly signed a technology transfer contract. As for the details of the execution of the contract, it is still the same as Fanuc and Yaskawa Electric, with payment made first, and then materials and technical training will be provided.
After exchanging contracts, Su Lisa took the initiative to mention: "I wonder if Mr. Wu is free, let's have lunch together?" ”
Wu Tao looked at his watch and said, "It's a pity, Ms. Su, time is running out, I still have to catch a plane." ”
"That's a shame. Although Mr. Wu's intention to acquire AMD has not been agreed, if Mr. Wu is interested, he can consider taking a stake in AMD and becoming a shareholder of AMD. I am personally happy to reach this mutually beneficial and in-depth cooperation. ”
Wu Tao pondered slightly: "Thank you Ms. Su for your kindness, I don't think I'm interested in buying shares." I needed a company that grew according to my willpower and technology, so just taking a stake didn't meet my expectations. ”
After sending Su Lisa and her party away, Tao Wenwen held the contract and looked at it again and again, her round face, her slender and thin eyelashes blinked excitedly: "It's another 10 billion US dollars, follow the boss, this money is coming too fast!" ”
Wu Tao raised his eyebrows and said: "There are so many chip manufacturers, just signed one, are you satisfied?" ”
Tao Wenwen said optimistically: "When the boss gnaws the hard bone of Intel, other chip manufacturers will naturally pounce." When the time comes, we can just sit back and wait to collect the money. ”
"It's an exaggeration, but it's true." Wu Tao said.
Two hours later, Wu Tao, Tao Wenwen and Fang Yong boarded Elon's private jet.
This is Dassault's new Falcon series 8X luxury aircraft, which can accommodate about 20 people. Therefore, the quota allocated to Wu Tao's side was only three people, and for this reason, Pei Jun and other members of the guard had to rush to Boston on the east coast in advance by civil aviation.
"Mr. Musk, we finally met." Wu Tao shook the other party's hand and said.
Elon patted the back of Wu Tao's hand and said, "I'm sorry, because I didn't understand the situation, I boldly rejected your company's intention to visit, which was really a mistake." Call me Elon. ”
Wu Tao's eyes couldn't help narrowing slightly: "Elon, I have heard of your genius experience for a long time, so I thought of your company to observe and learn." Fortunately, it's not too late, and the five-hour trip is enough for us to get to know each other. ”
"Oh, you're right. First of all, it is my honor to invite you to take a tour of my plane. ”
Wu Tao laughed: "In the gossip news about you, the most mentioned is that you are more keen on private jets. In fact, in my opinion, Elon, you can even play with rockets, so what does it matter if you play with airplanes? ”
Elon laughed knowingly, "If I'm not mistaken, you're laughing at me, right?" But let's be honest, owning a private jet is a lot more convenient in terms of business arrangements, especially for someone like me who needs to fly both ends of the United States. Actually, Wu Tao, I heard that you bought a private island in Hawaii, so you can also buy a plane, which will be much more convenient for you to travel back and forth in the future. ”
Wu Tao's heart moved, this idea is very appropriate. Elon saw his expression of interest, and immediately said: "I will introduce you to Dassault in a while, and when you decide to buy in the future, they will definitely provide a full range of high-quality services." ”
"Thank you then."
The cabin is extraordinarily spacious, and the comfortable leather seats are more enjoyable than the luxury first class of conventional civil aviation. The two pilots are a combination of a man and a woman, with nearly 10,000 hours of safe flight experience.
A quarter of an hour later, the falcon had completed its climb and was cruising smoothly at an altitude of 12,000 meters. This altitude is 2,000 meters higher than the cruising altitude of a civil airliner, so the possibility of experiencing turbulence is even more minimal.
Elon turned his chair around, faced Wu Tao and said, "Now let's talk about specific cooperation matters." ”
Wu Tao shrugged and said, "Okay, but Elon, I handed over all the safety hazard data of Tesla cars to you." I don't know what you mean by cooperation? ”
Elon got straight to the point: "One is the control chip, and the other is the high-energy battery.
"Since your test has pointed out that there is a problem with Tesla's control chip, what kind of characteristics should a qualified control chip have, and which manufacturers can provide it? I heard that Tianyu Intelligent Robot already has the ability to produce super control chips, can you consider supplying Tesla? ”
Wu Tao said proudly: "As long as the multi-core integrated chip produced by neural network multi-core architecture technology has more than 9 cores, it can meet the stability and speed requirements of electric vehicle motion control." This morning, we just signed a technology transfer agreement with AMD. Therefore, for a stable supply in the future, Elon, you can cooperate with AMD. ”
Elon said anxiously: "But we must deal with the 40,000 vehicles that are scheduled to be recalled as soon as possible to ensure that there are no more safety hazards before returning them to customers." So I implore you to provide us with a temporary supply of 40,000 pieces? ”
"This ......" Wu Tao muttered: "Elon, Tianyu's current super control chip is dedicated to intelligent robots and integration business, and the production capacity is limited. I have to coordinate with the production department before I can decide. ”
Elon said gratefully, "As long as Tianyu is willing to help, we will be grateful." As for high-energy batteries, let's say it to Straw. ”
Straw next to him perked up and said: "I learned about the existence of high-energy batteries from the understanding of No. 2 intelligence, which makes me very excited!" Mr. Wu, how does your high-energy battery perform in terms of energy density, charge and discharge time, and stability? ”
Wu Tao motioned to Fang Yong with his eyes, and the other party took out a suitcase and opened it to reveal a high-energy battery.
"You can test the specific parameters for yourself."
Straw hesitated and said, "But wouldn't it be too dangerous to test it on an airplane?" ”
"I have confidence in my product." Wu Tao said confidently. Elon laughed when he heard this, patted Slaughter on the shoulder and said, "Trust him, it won't be wrong!" Then he stood up and said, "Wu Tao, maybe you will be unhappy, but I have to introduce you, Brian and his colleagues have been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Intel CEO Brian walked out, followed by a gray-haired Justin and a middle-aged man, Allen.
After a short period of surprise, Wu Tao took the initiative to stretch out his hand: "Mr. Kranick, I am very surprised to see you. ”
