Chapter 135: Can't wait AMD
The suite finally quieted down, Wu Tao let out a sigh of relief, sat on the sofa, and said to himself: "American girls are really bold and crazy, yesterday I met a Harvard female student who took the initiative to talk to her, and today I met a Seattle girl who sent her to the door, it was too thrilling and exciting." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Touching the chest that was still beating wildly, Wu Tao couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, he was not this material after all.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Tao Wenwen, dressed in a professional suit, walked in happily and said, "Mr. Wu, Ms. Su Lisa, the CEO of AMD, has come to visit in advance. ”
"Isn't our meeting scheduled for the day after tomorrow? AMD is already so impatient? ”
Tao Wenwen tried to analyze: "AMD is doing a lot in the CPU market, and now our technology happens to have the hope to help them get through the difficulties, and it is not surprising that they are so positive." ”
"Okay, let them in."
At the first glance of Su Lisa, Wu Tao almost thought that the other party was a man. As a Chinese-American woman, she looks too neutral, and even her voice is neutral, without the slightest hint of femininity.
"Mr. Wu, I took the liberty of visiting in advance. On behalf of AMD, I would like to come here with the greatest sincerity, and I hope that Mr. Wu can read this sincerity and give AMD a chance to cooperate. With that, Su Lisa motioned to the secretary to submit a cooperation plan to Wu Tao.
Wu Tao flipped through it casually, and judging from this plan, AMD was indeed full of sincerity. Su Lisa should have done sufficient research on the cooperation model between Tianyu Company and other companies, so she made a detailed plan for the source of funds for the purchase. It even borrowed from Yaskawa's plan, that is, the plan to issue new shares to raise funds.
Closing the plan, Wu Tao raised his head: "Ms. Su, to be honest, the cooperation plan provided by your company is decent, and it is really not worth your trip in advance." ”
Su Lisa sneered: "Actually, Mr. Wu doesn't know, it is rumored that Intel wants to spend a lot of money to buy the exclusive right to use this technology in your hand." Considering that Intel's profit margins have consistently outpaced ours, none of this is out of the question. That's why we came over in advance, hoping to reach a consensus with Mr. Wu. ”
"If you're just worried about that, I can honestly tell you that Intel probably can't afford to have exclusive access to this technology. At present, the chip manufacturers in the world, in addition to Intel and AMD, there are also Nvidia, Arm, etc. If Intel wants to use it exclusively, it will need to spend at least $50 billion. ”
Su Lisa and the secretary looked at each other and gasped at the same time.
Even if you have as much money as Intel, I am afraid that you don't have the courage to spend so much money to buy a small piece of technology at once. It seems that Wu Tao's judgment is very accurate, and Intel will indeed not do this.
In shock, Su Lisa was relieved.
Wu Tao continued: "As long as you can ensure that the funds are in place in time, you will naturally get the right to share the use of this technology. But ......" then changed the conversation: "Just now, after reading your plan, I thought of a more constructive cooperation plan, I don't know if you would like to listen?" ”
Su Lisa was slightly stunned and said, "Mr. Wu, please speak." ”
Wu Tao got up and talked eloquently: "Now AMD, in the CPU market, has been defeated by Intel. And in the graphics card market, your competitor Nvidia is gaining momentum and is a great threat to you. Add to that the combination of Intel and NVIDIA, and your company is in a worrying position. ”
However, in the past two years, under Ms. Su's reasonable management, AMD has not made any wrong business decisions. The company's performance has rebounded, and the company's market value has risen from $1.9 billion at the trough to more than $6 billion now. ”
Hearing this, Su Lisa's face softened.
Wu Tao's tone changed sharply: "However, your company can get my multi-core architecture technology, Intel and Nvidia, you can also get it." In this way, the competitive situation between you will not change anything. The future of AMD is still uncertain, and Ms. Su will continue to be worried. ”
"So I have another option for you, and that is for me to buy your company. In this way, you can not only get this multi-core architecture technology, but also become a supplier of Tianyu intelligent robot controller chips. In time, this will be a win-win situation. ”
When the market value of AMD was at a low point, Huaxia had a company to negotiate the acquisition. However, at that time, the company only had money and lacked key technologies that could change AMD's predicament, so it sternly rejected the acquisition request.
For example, today's boss of Yu Intelligent Robot has once again put forward a request for acquisition. There are similarities and differences from the original situation.
The same thing is that the other party is a wealthy company with a Chinese background; The difference is that the acquirer did not have the technology at the beginning, such as the strong technical background of Yu Company today, which is obvious to the whole industry.
Thinking of this, Su Lisa no longer sat for a long time, and stood up and said, "Mr. Wu, I need to submit your ideas to the board of directors for discussion and decision. Rest assured, I will convey your sincerity of cooperation to you. ”
After sending Su Lisa away, Tao Wenwen asked inexplicably: "Boss, why did you buy AMD?" Wouldn't it be better if we just sold the technology to them and let them compete, and the profits were extremely high? ”
Wu Tao leisurely explained: "The innovation of CPU chips is close to the bottleneck, and Moore's Law is on the verge of failure. The new computer chip had to overturn the foundations of everything that existed and start from scratch. Considering that AMD has professionals and R&D systems in this area, I would like to save some trouble and do it in one step. ”
“…… But it's hard to say whether AMD's board of directors will approve it. Because the reason why AMD has declined so far is that their management has made wrong decisions again and again, so that they have gone from being evenly matched with Intel to being crushed by a strong force now. Hopefully, this time, they'll make the right choice. ”
Tao Wenwen agreed: "The current AMD is only four percent of Intel's. To be honest, boss, I've always been worried that the other party might not be able to come up with the huge amount of money to buy our technology. You see, this is the information of the other party's several capital increases and share expansions not long ago, most of which are more than one billion yuan. The scale of the sudden issuance of 10 billion yuan may not be bought by shareholders. ”
Wu Tao said with a smile: "Wenwen, you ignore the influence of our Tianyu brand. Once the cooperation is reached, AMD will immediately release the news of cooperation with us, which will definitely be a shot in the arm for their stock at that time. ”
"yes, how did I forget that."
