Seeing that Ling Shizhe had been staring at him, Lierson knew that if he didn't make his words clear, he wouldn't be able to complete this mission.

So he opened his mouth and said: "The Pentagon approached us, and the board decided that this was an opportunity, an opportunity for the Department of Justice to stop the IBM antitrust investigation, so the board decided to make a deal with the military." Ling, IBM has always had a good relationship with the military, and the military has a lot of interest in your supercomputer, and your Ambrera is a company from Hong Kong, and you plan to open up this technology, so it doesn't meet the needs of the military. ”

"So the board of directors reached an agreement with the military that we would come forward to get the architecture technology for the blade servers, and the military would be responsible for going to the Justice Department and getting them to drop the charges against us."

Alison nodded, and whispered in Ling Shizhe's ear: "Lierson is right, they are happy to come up with $2 billion, IBM has been overwhelmed by the antitrust bill over the years, and for this annoying lawsuit, IBM has spent about $4 billion in legal fees for this so far, and I don't know how much it will cost in the future." If $2 billion could be used to end the lawsuit, IBM would be happy to do so. ”

"I'd rather them buy our chips than $2 billion, buy all our chip technology for $2 billion, and then they make their own chips and sell them, oh Alison, that's not what I want. IBM has an absolute monopoly on mainframe projects, and that is not good for us. Ling Shizhe obviously disagrees, $2 billion is nothing, as long as IBM is willing to buy his chips, with the size of IBM, he will earn far more than this in the future.

"No boss, do you see it, Lierson is not here to negotiate with you today, but to have a showdown with you, these bad things in their company, there is no need to tell us at all, just talk to us directly about chip licensing. But he didn't say it, but said those bad things in their company, what does that mean? It means that the other party knows that we will not authorize the chip, so they say so. ”

Lillson really doesn't need to say this, the Ministry of Justice's anti-monopoly investigation of IBM is about him Ling Shizhe, and others are investigating him and not me, and the other party seems to be here to sympathize, but in fact he is here to threaten, if we don't agree, IBM will in turn accuse Ling Shizhe of monopoly, and when the time comes, Ambrera will be in big trouble.

IBM, an American company, is still in a mess, not to mention that Ling Shizhe is still just a company that has come to Hong Kong, and Ambrera will only face the fate of being dismembered, and there will be no plan to escape at all.

The taste of being threatened is not pleasant at all, I am afraid this is the killer move of little Watson, IBM finally showed his fangs.

Over the years, the computer cameras and scientific calculators sold on the market, the processors used, all come from Ambrera Company, in the processor project, Ambrera has long been a monopolist, and the reason why he has not been sued until now is because Ling Shizhe has always been very low-key.

In addition, Ling Shizhe opened up the technology of computer cameras, the market is full of various brands of computer cameras, and the processor does not directly face the end user, which gives people the illusion that there is no monopoly, in fact, Ambrera has long formed a monopoly.

The Ministry of Justice did not find him Ling Shizhe for the time being, but there was still an excuse missing, an excuse to come to the door.

Watson Jr.'s investigation these days is not for anything else, he is actually targeting this.

If he agrees, in the chip market in the future, Ling Shizhe will face a terrible opponent called IBM, which is extremely unfavorable to his future development.

For a moment, Ling Shizhe's brows furrowed, thinking about how to resolve the killer move from IBM.

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with any good way to come out for a while, Ling Shizhe decided to test it again, and said: "The blade server itself is going to be open, and we don't plan to collect money on it, the rest is the CPU, are you sure that your company will spend $2 billion to buy the technology license of the CPU?" ”

Lierson was stunned for a moment, obviously a CPU technology license is not worth so much money, and after a long time he said: "We take this technology and develop a new CPU based on it." ”

It's easy to just want the technology authorization of the CPU, not the technical authorization of other chips, but I'm afraid that you want all the chip technology authorization, especially the flash memory chip technology.

After sorting out his thoughts, Ling Shizhe said: "The CPU used on the blade server is a reduced instruction set processor - RMP, the core of this processor uses an ARM core, and the ARM core is licensed to you, 100 million US dollars is enough, you can develop your own CPU on this basis, so that you don't have to worry about the risks brought by the opening of technology, because you can completely close him." $2 billion, you might as well take it back. ”

"What about flash memory, we need the authorization of flash memory chips." Seeing that his little tricks were discovered, Lierson directly stated his biggest purpose.

Obviously, what IBM really wants is the technology of flash memory chips, they are not stupid, they can see that the real core of the SSD is on the flash chip, the internal structure of the SSD is very simple, the main body is actually a PCB board, and the most basic accessories on this PCB board are the control chip, cache chip and flash memory chip for storing data.

The first two are easy to do, but the third type of flash memory chip, IBM is blind, if you can't get the technical authorization of flash memory, you can't maximize the profit of the hard disk, you can only make a little hard money, obviously not in the interests of IBM.

So this time, Lierson came over in the hope of using the threat of monopoly to force Ling Shizhe to comply.

Ling Shizhe looked like he knew this, and said lightly: "I'm sorry for the flash memory chip technology, we have already licensed it to a family, and we will not license it to a third party." ”

"What? You've authorized, who, to whom? Hearing that there was already an authorization, Lierson jumped up suddenly, and couldn't care about the performance just now, if Ling Shizhe really had to license the flash memory chip technology, then the technology monopoly would no longer exist, and he Lierson could no longer threaten Ling Shizhe with this article.

Allison and Foster were also stunned, their boss had already licensed the flash memory technology, how did I not know, when did it happen? However, in front of outsiders, they had to temporarily suppress the doubts in their hearts and actively cooperate with their boss.

"National Semiconductor." Ling Shizhe replied with a smile.

Allison was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and sighed in her heart that the boss was so good.

National Semiconductor is a state-owned company in the United States, and various personnel relations within it are extremely complex.

This company, Ling Shizhe, also gave him a nickname, called the pit daddy company, saying that they pitted, because the quality of their company's products is extremely unreliable, and the yield rate is less than 50%, compared with Ambrera's yield rate of more than 99%, National Semiconductor is really a big pit.

The licensing of flash memory chips to National Semiconductor first relieved the company's monopoly siege; Secondly, if the flash memory technology is licensed to him, with the low yield rate of national semiconductors, they will not be able to compete with Ambrera at all.

In addition, Ling Shizhe decided to put the production base of flash memory chips in Hong Kong again, so that whether it is in terms of cost or quality, the American national semiconductor can not compete with Ambrera.

As for Ling Shizhe who has not authorized the national semiconductor now, what is so difficult about this, he and Spot are iron buddies, and a phone call can solve the problem, not afraid that IBM will confirm to the other party now that Spot will definitely help him speak.

And National Semiconductor has been listed, once this news is released, it will definitely stimulate the stock price of National Semiconductor, and Spot will not help him lie if he is crazy.

Ling Shizhe has already authorized one company, and does not want to authorize a third one, and the US Department of Justice cannot put the monopoly hat on Ambrera no matter what.

As for the authorization of the CPU, it is even simpler, anyway, IBM has always liked to design and produce the CPU by itself, if you don't give it, they will make their own CPU sooner or later, rather than this, it is better to simply license the core of ARM to him, anyway, IBM will not open up its mainframe technology, and it will not have an impact on Ling Shizhe's company.

Now IBM has only one way to get flash memory technology, that is, to acquire National Semiconductor, but what kind of company is National Semiconductor, Lierson knows very well that IBM's internal personnel relationship has given him a headache, and now he has added a more complex personnel relationship to National Semiconductor.

Lierson could have imagined that before the U.S. Department of Justice could break up IBM, they would split up first.

Thinking of this, Lillson was so cruel to Ling Shizhe that he couldn't wait to take out a gun and shoot Ling Shizhe, who was sitting opposite him, sneering at him.

Just a simple change of authorization object, the company's unfavorable situation was immediately reversed, and Alison had to admire Ling Shizhe's quick wit.

Seeing that all his tricks were useless to Ling Shizhe, Lierson had to sit down and negotiate with Ling Shizhe again.

After some haggling, a final agreement was reached, and Ambrera licensed the blade servers, SSDs, system motherboards, and server memory technology to IBM. All required chips are provided by Ambrera, and as long as the purchase quantity reaches the specified amount, a 5% discount will be given.

IBM paid Ambrera $150 million to license the technology cores of Arm processors......
