In this regard, Chen Wenqi, the head of Weisheng Electronics, was naturally ecstatic.

He then went on to inquire about the SSE3 instruction set authorization and the hyper-threading technology that would double the market share of Weisheng Electronics.

However, in the face of the need to come up with its own core technology authorization, Intel is naturally hesitant.

However, in the face of repeated questions from Chen Wenqi, the head of Weisheng Electronics, Barrett, the president of Intel, still issued a deadline.

This deadline was granted to Weisheng Electronics SSE3 instruction set three months later in September 2004, and five months later on January 1, 2005 to grant authorization to hyper-threading technology.

Of course, Intel claims that Weisheng Electronics can now develop CPUs with SSE3 instruction set and hyper-threading technology first.

There is no difference between claiming to be authorized now and being authorized later.

Moreover, this is also the second countermeasure in addition to the $30 million contract liquidated damages, and it is also to prevent Weisheng Electronics from figuring out the countermeasures to sell the CPU business during this period.

You have to know the specific time and results, and there is indeed a certain number of them at the Bay Island headquarters. Company D came over and was ready to sign the contract.

Chen Wenqi and his wife also returned to Bay Island directly from Pengcheng to show their sincerity and prepare to sign the next patent licensing contract.

In this regard, the negotiation team of the Shuguang R&D Center was naturally confused.

I don't know how Chen Wenqi, who is the leader of the negotiations, suddenly returned to Bay Island, but with their work experience, they already know that things seem to be a little different.

Faced with this situation, Lin Chen, who received the report, also called Chen Wenqi:

"Why did Mr. Chen suddenly say goodbye without saying goodbye? This is a critical period of negotiations. ”

"I'm sorry, but I think we should think twice about selling our CPU and graphics card business."

"But what's changed?"

It's good and suddenly I don't want to sell it, something must have happened that is quite bad for the Dawning R&D Center.

However, in the face of Lin Chen's questioning, Chen Wenqi on the other side of the phone hesitated slightly, and finally decided to reveal Intel's "three patent authorizations".

Then, after his words were finished, he hung up the phone directly without waiting for Lin Chen to speak, leaving Lin Chen with a calm face.

Obviously, Chen Wenqi didn't want to say the next words and didn't need to say it, he believed that Lin Chen knew what to do.

Of course, if Lin Chen didn't know, it would be impossible, because in less than an hour, the negotiation team of the Shuguang R&D Center sent the latest negotiation progress report.

The theme of this negotiation progress report is that Weisheng Electronics suddenly raised the quotation from the original 2 billion to 2.5 billion, and the bottom line of the 2.5 billion quotation is absolutely unshakable!

Hearing this result, Ni Guangnan, who was standing with Lin Chen, couldn't help but shoot the case on the spot:

"Why are you in a hurry? I used to see him take the initiative to develop domestic CPUs and had a lot of feelings for him, but I really recognized him after this hand. ”

At this time, Ni Guangnan had a very uncomfortable expression on his face, which was uncomfortable in many ways, but more importantly, the disappointment of the wrong person was uncomfortable.

"Old Ni, don't be angry, aren't all businessmen like this? Capriciousness is normal, and it would be unreasonable to expect them to be genuinely willing to help each other for the sake of patriotism. ”

At this time, Lin Chen did not have an angry and sad expression, but a calm expression.

In this regard, Ni Guangnan sighed deeply, and then said with a worried face:

"Alas, the price has soared from $2 billion to $2.5 billion in less than a few hours, and if the $500 million is used for research and development, it can do a lot of things.

But Weisheng Electronics' CPU and graphics card business, as well as the patent licensing of chipsets, are indeed what we need.

The acquisition of them can save a lot of detours and save a lot of money and energy, do we really have to accept this condition?

It's a little reluctant to think about it, but this is equivalent to $500 million in R&D spending. ”

Ni Guangnan still couldn't mind at this time, after all, the price went from $2 billion to $2.5 billion in a few hours, and an additional $500 million was required, which was unacceptable to anyone.

"Don't worry, Weisheng Electronics can't support it, because although Intel has taken out three patent authorizations to lure Weisheng Electronics, Weisheng Electronics really can't support it.

Even if they want to raise funds externally, the funds they can obtain are very meager, after all, the credibility of Weisheng Electronics has been lost in the financing development again and again. ”

Facing Lin Chen's confident words, Ni Guangnan frowned and said:

"Behind Mrs. Wang of Weisheng Electronics is the plastic king, and the plastic king can lend money to Weisheng Electronics."

Facing Ni Guangnan's worries, Lin Chen shook his head slightly, and then said with a smile:

"I can't borrow it, because the plastic king expanded the factory in June last year, with a total investment of up to 650 billion Taiwan dollars.

This plastic king himself is short of money, where is the money to lend Weisheng Electronics.

Moreover, Weisheng Electronics has been engaged in CPU for so many years, and the plastic king is definitely not optimistic about this matter. ”

"That's it."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Ni Guangnan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the pressure suddenly lightened.

As long as the funds of Weisheng Electronics are really lacking and unsustainable, then Intel will not say that it will take out three technology authorizations, even if it takes out 10 technology authorizations, Weisheng Electronics will be powerless.

"Now let's concentrate on acquiring SIS, which also has the authorization of the X86 instruction set, although it does not have the authorization of MMX and SSE, SSE2, SSE3 and other instruction sets.

But after taking the X86 instruction set, you can always find a way to break the game.

It's a big deal, we can directly change and expand the multimedia instruction set of the mobile phone into a computer multimedia instruction set, and the living can not be suffocated by urine. ”

"It's a good idea, because our CPU processor can perfectly support mobile games and software directly from the hardware level.

And after doing so, the line between computers and mobile phones will become blurred, and maybe the mobile phone of the future will be a computer, and a computer will be a mobile phone.

I suggest developing a PC version of the Dawning multimedia instruction set, and then using it in conjunction with other instruction sets. ”

"Well, yes, Elder Ni, this matter will be left to you."

Speaking of this, Lin Chen's mind also unconsciously recalled his past life.

Speaking of which, in the previous life, in 2023, the boundary between computers and mobile phones has really become blurred invisibly, and even the Wei soft system is one of the active promoters.

For example, the famous Wei soft WIN10 system is different from the previous Wei soft system, and its setting interface and many functions are very similar to a mobile phone system.

In fact, the WIN10 system can be used not only in laptops and desktop computers, but also in mobile phones and tablets.

And why did Wei Soft do this?
