However, Jobs on the other side ignored the hesitant Intel President Paul Oudening, and saw him turn his head to look at the President of Intel on the other side, Lao Huangdao:

"For your company's CUDA structure, we are willing to spend $500 million on a one-time buyout license, I don't know what your company's opinion is?"

"$500 million!"

Hearing Jobs's words, Lao Huang, the president of Invida at this time, really couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Because the actual profit of the graphics card industry is not comparable to that of the processor industry, although the current price of discrete graphics cards is on average more than that of CPU processors, the price of most discrete graphics cards is more than twice the price of CPUs.

But in fact, the profit of this graphics card is actually not high, after all, the number of transistors in the graphics card chip can usually be several times that of the CPU chip.

Finally, the graphics card has motherboards, flash memory, electronic components, fans and other accessories, in this case, the cost of the graphics card is naturally more expensive.

In the end, the average profit proportion of the discrete graphics card is calculated, but it is not as good as the profit of the CPU processor, so the graphics card is not expensive to sell, but it is really not as profitable as the CPU!

At this time, Jobs was willing to give $500 million, which was a considerable amount, which was actually enough to reach the net profit of Ingwei da for half a year.

So at this time, Lao Huang, the president of Inweida, showed a somewhat heartfelt expression, but Lao Huang, the president of Inweida, is an old man who has been in the business world for many years after all.

I saw that he quickly returned to his normal mood, and then pretended to be embarrassed and said:

"We would welcome your company's desire to purchase a one-time buyout license from our CUDA architecture.

However, it took us more than two years to develop the CUDA architecture, and it has been almost three years now.

It can be said that we have invested a lot of energy and effort in the CUDA structure, and the funds burned by Weida alone have reached more than one billion dollars.

You're only $500 million and want to buy a one-time buyout license, which is a bit too low.

So, let's not talk about a one-time buyout license, how about a $500 million long-term license to buy a CDUA architecture? ”

A one-time buyout license is equivalent to not having to continue to pay royalties after purchase, while a long-term license is a long-term payment of royalties.

Lao Huang naturally wants to do long-term business, after all, he doesn't have to do anything while lying down, and as a result, who is not happy to get money every day by collecting patent fees.

"No way, it's just that a long-term license isn't worth $500 million."

Jobs shook his head slightly and rejected the words of Lao Huang, the president of Invida, and did not want to spend money to buy that long-term license.

Because although you can use the CUDA architecture openly after having the license to use the CUDA architecture, the problem is that you have to give a steady stream of patent fees to Invida after that.

It can be said that the more profitable Pingguo's products will be in the future, the more patent fees will be charged by Weida Company, and Jobs naturally does not want to accept this kind of thing.

So Jobs slowly spoke:

"We are willing to raise the price to $600 million, this is our bottom line!"

"It can't be!"

On the other side, the president of Invida naturally opened his mouth and refused, as if he was determined that Pingguo Company would definitely buy Invida's CUDA architecture and refuse to let go.

So the next meeting fell into a quarrel, at this time Pingguo President Jobs cooperated with Kuke to start a duel against Lao Huang, President of Inweida.

On the side, Intel President Paul Oudening is in a tangle, as for why Intel President Paul Oudening is entangled.

The reason is that he knows that Pingguo's cash is limited, although Pingguo has made a large profit gain through the "Apple tax" imposed by the iOS system.

But the problem is that there is a ceiling on this income, before Pingguo spent 5 billion US dollars to develop the third generation of Pingguo smartphones, and then spent 600 million US dollars on what "Pingguo Design Award".

At this time, they wanted to buy their Intel's X86-X instruction set and Ingda's CUDA architecture, in this case, Pingguo's funds were actually running out.

At this time, because Weida asks for a lot of money, it means that Pingguo can pay less money to buy the X86-X instruction set.

At this time, looking at the quarrel between the two sides, how can Paul Oudening, the president of Intel, not be entangled?

However, in any case, the meeting ended unhappily, and Pingguo and Inweida broke off the negotiations because they could not reach an agreement.

Over the next few days, Pingguo and Intel and Invida had several separate negotiations, culminating in December 22, 2006, the eve of Christmas.

Pingguo Company was the first to reach a cooperation with Intel, and Pingguo Company successfully obtained a one-time buyout authorization for Intel's X86-X instruction set at the cost of $2 billion.

In this regard, Invida on the other side also knew that Pingguo Company was probably running out of money after learning the news, so they were also a little more pragmatic.

Finally, in the afternoon of the same day, Pingguo and Invida reached a cooperation contract, and Pingguo Company spent 800 million US dollars to win the one-time buyout authorization of Invida's CUDA architecture!

In this regard, when the news was announced by Pingguo, the news naturally caused a round of super earthquakes in the global science and technology circle, and countless media around the world were all exclaiming that Pingguo Computer was going to rise.

At present, the latest and strongest core technologies in the computer CPU processor industry and the graphics card industry have all been obtained by Pingguo Company at this time, and it is a one-time buyout authorization.

And the total amount spent is as high as 2.8 billion US dollars, which shows that Pingguo really attaches great importance to the computer industry this time, and its attention is not much worse than that of the mobile phone industry.

In this case, how can the global media not exclaim that Pingguo Computer is going to rise, and the future era will be a situation where multiple technology giants compete for power.

"This time, we have obtained the X86-X instruction set and CUDA architecture, and then our plan for the Pingguo M1 chip can be launched."

In a commercial building in Silicon Valley, Jobs, the president of Pingguo, was talking at this time, and his eyes flashed with excitement.

It took him a few days to finally win the one-time exclusive buyout license of the X86-X instruction set and CUDA architecture, two core technologies related to the rise of Pingguo Computer.

In this case, the long-planned Pingguo M1 chip can finally be launched, which does not make Jobs feel a little excited.

In this regard, Kuke, the CEO of Pingguo on the other side, also said with a smile:

"Haha, at this time, Lao Huang, President of Invida, and Paul Oudening, President of Intel, probably don't know what it means for them to sell us the X86-X instruction set and CUDA architecture.

I'm curious to see what kind of horror they will look at when they know what kind of horror miracles will be born when the X86-X instruction set combined with the CUDA architecture will be born! ”

Speaking of this, the Kuke's face at this time was excited, and it was an expression of eagerness. (End of chapter)
