Chapter 336: England

Arm is also a legendary company, and it is not just technology that can break through under Intel's suppression. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the seventies of the last century, the mainstream was CISC complex instruction set processors, among which Intel's chips were the best-sellers.

ARM, on the other hand, is based on the RISC reduced instruction set, and the chip processors involved are very niche and rarely used by companies. The founder of Arm in person was also out of helplessness, and the chips produced by other companies were too expensive to use. Intel was willing to license complex instruction set processors to Arm, which led to the development of a reduced instruction set.

RISC-based processors have relatively simple instructions, so the power consumption is very small, and the price is also very cheap, which is very suitable for mobile devices.

Companies that imitate Intel have been suppressed and restricted until they disappear, and only ARM, which has stepped out of differentiation, has survived.

Of course, ARM's customers are mostly concentrated in the enterprise computer and streamlined computer industry, which is not rich enough to say that it can feed many people with its annual profits.

After the legendary ARM entered the second generation of leadership, he became obscure, and he no longer had the pride of the founder, only guarding such an acre and three points of land, reaping profits wave by wave.

Intel has little interest in Arm, not to mention that the development direction of the two companies' chips is completely different. There are antitrust laws in Europe and the United States, and there is no need for Intel to eliminate its sole competitor and lead itself to prosecution.

Back then, Microsoft's window was so strong that it was turned into a miasma by the U.S. antitrust department, and Intel didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

No one will think that ARM has a future, just compare the market capitalization, Intel has a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, ranking more than 100 in the world's top 500. And ARM's market value is only a billion pounds, not even a tenth.

Even if Intel makes a mistake, Arm has no chance to catch up.

What's more, in the hands of the founder's family, ARM rarely invests in research and development, and ARM's chips have not been updated for a long time.

"Du Shao, maybe I'm a little anxious, let that bastard Henry take the opportunity to open his mouth!" George of Standard Chartered Bank's South Island division said with remorse.

Arm is a pool of stagnant water, and little Hunter has no ambitions, so it would be nice to be able to maintain his extravagant life. But George suddenly came to visit and offered to buy the license of chip technology and related technology, how could little Hunt let go of such a good opportunity!

"How much does he ask?" Du Jiayi asked with a gloomy face.

"A billion dollars!"

"Is he crazy?"

ARM's market value is only more than a billion pounds, which is only two or three billion dollars when converted into dollars, and Hunter Jr. is one billion dollars as soon as he opens his mouth, which is simply a money grab!

"Our Standard Chartered bank's estimate of the technology acquisition is between $50 million and $100 million, and a billion dollars is really ......," George said angrily.

Helping Yijia Electronics to negotiate ARM's technology licensing will also enable Standard Chartered Bank to give Yijia Electronics a large loan, thus establishing a connection between Standard Chartered Bank and the entire Yijia Group.

After Yijia Media went public, the stock price soared by 200 percent, stunned the entire Wall Street analysts, and also made the subsidiaries of Yijia Group hot. George really wants to make a good fortune in the next listed company of Yijia Group, and if there is no connection, Du Jiayi will not consider Standard Chartered Bank at all.

Du Jiayi groaned.

No one can predict the advent of the era of intelligent mobility, and even the presidents and founders of some Internet companies who are at the forefront cannot imagine the majesty of the mobile Internet era.

The future belongs to ARM.

Intel, which is like a mountain, was carved out of a tunnel from the foot of the mountain by mobile phones, and Arm broke through this tunnel and became the leader in the chip field.

Intel's accumulated experience and computing patents in the era of the Internet and personal computers have instead become an obstacle to its entry into the reduced instruction chip.

Until now, whoever is ARM may surpass Intel will definitely be laughed out of their big teeth.

However, Du Jiayi understands this very well.

A billion dollars, buy a future, more? Not much. But no matter how rich you are, it's not like that!

ARM's entire market value is only more than $2 billion, and I don't know where little Henry got the courage to ask for a billion dollars!

Arm's chip technology, Du Jia Yi is bound to win, otherwise Yijia Electronics, which is ready to start construction, does not have suitable chips and motherboards, and it will become a joke at that time.

After meeting with George, Du Jiayi got on a plane to London, England.

Britain, when they were in another world, was most famous for their men, who were so handsome and able to form a lot of CPs, which was simply the great love of rotten and women.

As for its own strength, not so many people pay attention to it.

Britain was the first industrialized country in the world, the first to complete the industrial revolution, and its national strength grew rapidly. From the 18th century to the early 20th century, Britain ruled over seven continents and was the most powerful country in the world at that time.

Won in both world wars, but the national strength was severely damaged. By the second half of the 20th century, the British Empire collapsed, and the position of capitalist world hegemon was replaced by the United States. However, Britain is still a large country with great influence in the world.

Britain has a population of about 60 or 70 million, and it seems a little crowded on top of the British Isles, and the population density is not much better than that of the island countries.

John Doo and the head of Standard Chartered's South Island branch arrived in the UK in person, and as the chairman of ARM, Hunt Jr. naturally had to take good care of him.

Little Hunter sent a silver Rolls-Royce Phantom to pick him up. Rolls-Royce is originally a luxury among the actual famous cars, while the Phantom is a luxury among the luxuries, which not only needs to have money, but also has enough status and status. Rolls-Royce will rigorously vet the identity of the purchaser to decide whether to sell.

Each Rolls-Royce car is hand-built and needs to be polished one by one, and it is a work of art in itself.

"Looks like little Hunter has good taste!" Du Jiayi, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but sigh when he saw the luxurious arrangement.

George was not surprised, and took two bottles of mineral water out of the car refrigerator.

"Little Hunt is known throughout England for his love of enjoyment, and at least half of Arm's annual profits go into his pocket for him to squander."

"According to my investigation, Arm has not had enough funds to develop new chips for two years, and can only tinker with old chips."

High-tech companies are different from ordinary small workshops, and they need continuous investment in R&D to ensure that the technology is not outdated.

Gordon-Moore, the former president of Intel, published Moore's Law in the April 19, 1965, issue of the technical journal Electronics. At present, Moore's Law has been proven in the chip manufacturing industry.

Moore's Law states that the number of transistors and resistors in a chip doubles every year because engineers can continue to shrink the size of transistors. This means that the performance and capacity of semiconductors will grow exponentially, and this growth trend will continue.

Arm has not updated its chips in two years, that is, it is at least a generation behind! (To be continued.) )
