Chapter 331 The World's Third X86 Processor Manufacturer?
"What do you think about the future of computing?"
Hearing Chen Wenqi talk about this topic, Lin Chen pondered for a moment, and then slowly replied:
"In the future computer field, we will be the world of Shuguang Computer, and at least half of the computers or spare parts should be developed and produced by us.
Because we will never give up on solving the problem of domestic computers! ”
"Ugh."
Hearing Lin Chen's domineering words, Chen Wenqi immediately held the words in his mouth, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Hahaha, Mr. Lin Chen is really full of confidence."
Mrs. Wang on the side also came out to play haha to relieve the frozen atmosphere at the scene.
At this time, Chen Wenqi also came back to his senses, and then said with a smile:
"I personally support your company's desire to purchase my company's CPU and graphics card business plus the purchase of chipset patent licensing.
However, we have invested nearly $2 billion in the past few years.
Not to mention the graphics card business, in terms of CPU business, we have also become the world's third X86 processor manufacturer, which is an unprecedented breakthrough.
Therefore, if your company acquires the CPU business of Weisheng Electronics, then your company will directly become the world's third largest X86 processor manufacturer. ”
Hearing the words of Chen Wenqi, the head of Weisheng Electronics, and then looking at his slightly smug expression, Lin Chen couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
As far as Weisheng Electronics' market share is less than 1%, it is actually in the market share of 0.2%~0.5% for a long time, even if it becomes the world's third largest X86 processor manufacturer, what is there to be complacent?
Moreover, this less than 1% share is still strongly supported by the Bay Island official service, which is the result of the use of Weisheng CPU processors in the computers of all official agencies and official indirect control agencies.
In the civilian market, the sales of Weisheng CPU processors are simply miserable, and they can't be sold at all.
Of course, why did Chen Wenqi say such complacent words, Lin Chen naturally knew that the purpose was nothing more than to raise his own value and then sell it at a high price.
"Your company's CPU processor market share is less than 2%, right?"
Lin Chen gave him face, and took the initiative to increase his market share from less than 1% to less than 2%, which was several times higher for him.
But it is obvious that the effect of this blow is the same, which can be seen from Chen Wenqi's proud expression of "the world's third CPU manufacturer" instantly froze.
Seeing this, Lin Chen secretly laughed in his heart, and then continued to speak:
"Boss Chen, it's not that I don't give face, it's that your asking price is too high, it's like slaughtering us as pigs.
The cost of acquiring those companies is not more than $450 million, and even if you have been engaged in R&D and production lines over the years, plus the cost of compensating Intel for patent infringement, the total cost should not exceed $2 billion.
At this time, you are offering $4 billion, which is simply slaughtering us as pigs, and our money is not blown by the wind, but hard-earned.
And as far as I know, your company is currently unable to make ends meet, so I think you should be pragmatic at this time.
Get the cash and stop the loss in time, and concentrate on doing the chipset and motherboard business that you are good at, instead of continuing to lose money on the road of CPU. ”
Hearing Lin Chen's straightforward and point-to-point words, Chen Wenqi and Mrs. Wang's expressions suddenly collapsed like wilted eggplants.
As a businessman, he naturally wants to sell his goods as high as possible, but if his bottom line is known, it is naturally impossible to sell at a high price.
At this time, Lin Chen pointed out the dilemma of their Weisheng Electronics, so it is impossible to negotiate at a high price next.
In this way, it took a few seconds, and Chen Wenqi, the head of Weisheng Electronics, finally calmed down his mood, and then spread his hands and said:
"Well, Mr. Lin Chen, I admit that the $4 billion offer is indeed a bit high.
Why don't we each take a step back, $2.2 billion, as long as $2.2 billion, we will package and sell it to you. ”
Hearing Chen Wenqi's words, Lin Chen couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
It seems that the beating of Weisheng Electronics is not enough, and at this time it dared to quote a high price of 2.2 billion US dollars.
If you want to hand over all the deficits over the years to the Shuguang R&D Center, it is even estimated that you can make a little profit.
After all, in the past few years, it is impossible for the outside world to know how much Weisheng Electronics has spent on the CPU and graphics card business.
The Sugon R&D Center only gave an estimate of a maximum of $2 billion burned in a few years based on various data.
In reality, they may have spent less than $1.5 billion, so they could still make a lot of money by selling it to the Dawning R&D Center for $2.2 billion.
"$2.2 billion is still too high!"
Lin Chen gave his opinion.
Seeing this, the two people on the opposite side instantly frowned, and then the opposite side seemed to look at each other again, and soon Mrs. Wang turned her head and said:
"Mr. Lin Chen, $2.2 billion is really not high, after all, this is the world's third X86 processor.
Although our market share is indeed not high, it is an indisputable fact that we are the world's third largest S86 processor manufacturer.
So be it, $2 billion!
How about you buy our CPU and graphics card business as long as $2 billion, and also take our chipset patent license? ”
In this regard, Lin Chen naturally shook his head slightly and rejected the offer of $2 billion again.
Because in Lin Chen's view, the dilemma faced by Weisheng Electronics at this time is completely enough to give up to $1.5 billion.
After all, how much money you Weisheng Electronics has lost in the past few years is your business, and I don't buy things to see how much money you have lost in the past few years.
It's about how much your things are still worth, and how much you have lost can't let me bear it, so Lin Chen shouldn't be wronged!
"Then let's discuss it later, let's eat first, eat first......"
At this time, Mrs. Wang also came out to ease the atmosphere of the scene after seeing such a stiff negotiation atmosphere on the scene.
"Well, eat first."
Lin Chen also nodded lightly and agreed.
It is unrealistic for a negotiation involving more than 10 or 2 billion dollars to be completed in one meal, and it is normal for both sides to go back and forth.
So then Lin Chen finished the meal while talking and laughing with them, and then the meal was dispersed.
What they don't know is that at this time, the news of the official meeting between the head of Shuguang Technology and the head of Weisheng Electronics on the Internet has spread all over the Internet.
Among them, netizens in Daxia naturally felt very excited, and many knowledgeable "civil science experts" also expressed various opinions and remarks on BBS forums or penguin groups.
Discuss what will happen if the Dawning R&D Center acquires Weisheng Electronics, etc., and finally their conclusion is naturally that the Dawning CPU can be expected! (End of chapter)
