readx;?“ Personal relationship? Lang Xuan pursed her lips and chuckled, she was in a good mood to be able to celebrate the New Year with Lin Zheng: "That's what happened." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Huh?"

"We can talk a few words when we meet, and we can chat together when we are idle, for the sake of everyone being Chinese, if she encounters any difficulties, if I can help, I will also help, but that's it." Lang Xuan said.

Lin Zheng understood that this was an ordinary friend with a good relationship, and there was still a long way to go before he became a good friend, but what made Lin Zheng curious: "How did you meet?" ”

"Well, at a charity event organized by a local church."

"Are you religious?" Lin Zheng was surprised when she heard this, Lang Xuan has always been an atheist, but she lives alone in the United States with two children, and she has nothing to do on weekdays, so it is not strange to go to religion when she is idle and boring, but the problem is that she doesn't know about it.

"No," Lang Xuan shook his head and said, "It was a coincidence that the local church found me through a Chinese friendship organization, hoping that I could do something for charity. ”

Lang Xuan said it easily and simply, but Lin Zheng heard her helplessness during this time in the United States from her words, but it can't be said to be helpless, or it is more appropriate to say that it is boring, thinking that all this has something to do with him, Lin Zheng shook his lips guiltily, and said softly: "Didn't you say that everything on the American side is handled by you?" How do you ......"

"I think that's good," before Lin Zheng finished speaking, Lang Xuan interrupted him softly: "I know you are for my good, but you should know me, I don't have any interest in career, I just want to be a qualified housewife." ”

“……”

Lin Zheng has nothing to say, indeed, Lang Xuan is not a person with any ambitions for her career, compared to being busy in the office all day and arguing with her opponents at the negotiation table, she prefers to cook a table of favorite meals for her beloved family in the kitchen. But unfortunately, one of the important roles in this family: the husband and father are absent all year round.

"I'm sorry." Lin Zheng said to Lang Xuan guiltily.

Lang Xuan smiled softly, shook his head lightly, and said, "Say I'm sorry to do something." You don't feel sorry for me, you spend about four or five months in the United States every year, and if you want to say sorry, I'm sorry for Tanna. ”

Lin Zheng counted his nose. Holding Lang Xuan's hand hard, he didn't know what to say for a while: the time he spent in the United States every year was indeed not short, but in addition to the time outside of work, the time spent with Lang Xuan and their mother and son may not add up to two months a year, from this point of view, he was very incompetent. But. The reality is here, what can I say?

Feeling the surging emotions in Lin Zheng's heart, Lang Xuan didn't speak, but just turned his hand and held Lin Zheng's hand tightly.

In the past, it would have been fine if there was no Lianchuang Technology, but now, when investors realized that VIA Electronics had the opportunity to cooperate with Lianchuang Technology, they couldn't help it anymore, and asked Wang Xuehong, the CEO of VIA Electronics, to immediately start a comprehensive negotiation with Lianchuang Technology and the call for the two sides to reach a cooperation as soon as possible immediately became the most mainstream call, and the pressure on Wang Xuehong and Chen Wenqi instantly increased. As soon as the New Year ended, Wang Xuehong couldn't hold back anymore, and while scolding the shareholders and investors of VIA Electronics in her heart, she had to helplessly rush to Langya City to meet Lin Zheng.

"Mr. Lin, I hope that our meeting can have a satisfactory result." Wang Xuehong smiled reluctantly, compared to the last time they met, Wang Xuehong seemed to be a little haggard, obviously she was not having a good time during this time.

"I hope so," Lin Zheng said politely, "First of all, congratulations to VIA Electronics on the imminent completion of a comprehensive settlement with Intel, for VIA Electronics." This reconciliation is gratifying. ”

"Thank you," Wang Xuehong's spirits lifted slightly, perhaps this news gave her too much confidence, and her words involuntarily showed too much self-esteem: "After reaching a settlement with Intel, VIA Electronics can devote more energy and funds to new product development." ”

In the past four years, the patent lawsuit with intel has become a mountain on the shoulders of Wang Xuehong and Chen Wenqi, and they are almost out of breath under the pressure of the behemoth of intel, and now the two sides have basically reached an agreement on the settlement of this patent lawsuit, if nothing else, the settlement agreement can be signed at the end of April at the latest, drawing an end to this marathon lawsuit that has lasted for 4 years. It's pretty much the best gift God can ever give to Himself.

Although Lin Zheng is not very clear about the content of the agreement between Intel and VIA, according to the content of some of the agreements that have been announced by both parties, VIA and Intel will each withdraw all ongoing lawsuits and sign a ten-year cross-licensing agreement for their existing product lines; In the future, Intel will license VIA to sell x86 instruction set processor products that are not pin/bus compatible with Intel processors, and agree not to claim patents for VIA pin/bus compatible processor products for a period of three years. In addition, Intel has signed a four-year chipset licensing agreement with VIA, agreeing that VIA can design and sell chipset products that are compatible with Intel processors and will not assert patents for its chipsets for the fifth year.

In addition, the agreement also states that some of VIA's products will pay royalties to Intel, and everything looks so good, but Lin Zheng knows that VIA Electronics has been pitted by Intel this time, for the simple reason that there is such a clause in this clause: the above agreement does not apply to S3graphis, in which VIA holds a partial stake.

However, seeing that Wang Xuehong was happy to be like this, Lin Zheng continued to be complacent with Wang Xuehong, let alone tell her that after reaching a settlement with Intel this time, VIA Electronics has completely embarked on the fast track of losing money, and the record of losing money for 9 consecutive years can be regarded as one of the IT industry news second only to AMD...... Why don't you tell Wang Xuehong? It's because it's so immoral to do this, and others are happy, aren't you sticking a knife in the other person's heart by doing this?

Lin Zheng is full of pity, but Wang Xuehong obviously doesn't see it that way, she thinks that after VIA Electronics and Intel reach a settlement, there are no more obstacles on the road to the development of VIA Electronics, and I don't have to worry about and fear Lin Zheng anymore: I pulled you before, but I was worried that you were pulled away by Intel, and now that you and I have reached a settlement, then I am still afraid of you? Without you, wouldn't VIA Electronics also develop to the point where chipsets once occupied half of the market?

With this idea, Wang Xuehong was full of confidence: "Mr. Lin, what do you think about the conclusion of a strategic partnership between our two sides?" ”

Are you pretending to be confused with me? Wang Xuehong was so confident, Lin Zheng was really stunned at first, but then, Lin Zheng, who understood it, secretly sneered in his heart: Do you really think that after VIA Electronics and Intel reach a settlement, it means that you can marry Bai Fushuai and embark on the peak of your life? Immature!

"It's good to have a strategic partnership." Lin Zheng time was the first to admit this.

Wang Xuehong's face immediately appeared with a touch of joy: everything was expected by the old lady, and sure enough, after hearing the news that VIA Electronics and Intel were about to reach a settlement, Lin Zheng was intimidated. But before the smile on her face bloomed, Lin Zheng's next sentence made the expression on Wang Xuehong's face froze......

"But I want to know, does VIA have plans to develop a chipset based on the Pentium 4 CPU, AMD's K7 series CPU chipset? Or is VIA authorized to develop chipsets for Intel and AMD? ”

"What do you mean...... What is the meaning? Lin Zheng's words directly asked Wang Xuehong, but she instinctively felt that something was not good.

"Oh, nothing, it's just that our analyst agency believes that the Pentium series and K7 series CPUs will further impact the market share of VIA processors after analyzing the domestic and international consumption situation, and as an assembly plant, of course we have to follow the footsteps of the market."

Lin Zheng smiled honestly, but Wang Xuehong clenched her fists under the table: This bastard is obviously not optimistic about the development of VIA's CPU and chipset, why are you not optimistic? Why?!

The angry woman had no reason to talk about, and she naturally ignored the other meanings in Lin Zheng's words.

Of course, for Wang Xuehong, what made her feel even more depressed was that even if Lin Zheng talked about it, she still couldn't do anything with Lin Zheng.

The momentum that had just accumulated with great difficulty disappeared a lot, and Wang Xuehong said breathlessly: "We are considering ......"

"That means it's not settled yet?" Lin Zheng's face was suddenly full of disappointment: "If that's the case, Mr. Wang, with all due respect, I'm afraid our cooperation will be enough." ”

…… No way?

Lin Zheng's words made Wang Xuehong feel full of absurdity: just because of such a trivial matter, he actually refused to cooperate with VIA Electronics? Is this guy's brain broken?

For Wang Xuehong, who is arrogant and full of thoughts about leading VIA Electronics to expand its territory and recreate the glory of the end of the last century and the beginning of this century, Lin Zheng's approach is tantamount to a slap in the face in public. To be continued.
