Chapter 521: Contempt for You from a Position of Strength!

The press conference of Sihai Group caused a tsunami-like shock in the global industry!

Colleagues in the semiconductor industry were shocked and questioned the news.

No one believes that Chinese companies can take the lead in breaking through the threshold of X64 chips.

Intel and AMD have been working on X64 architecture chips, but they have not yet achieved results.

Who would have thought that if he made a trip to bite the gold halfway, he would be cut off by Sihai Group for this technology!

But magazines such as Time and Science have reported on this technology, with pictures and reviews, and people can't help but believe it.

Peers are looking for procurement channels, and they all want to get the Longteng chip for research and analysis as soon as possible.

The chip is not sold separately, and peers can only purchase PCs equipped with Longteng chips for disassembly.

Soon, the evaluation results of major manufacturers were released.

The results show that the evaluation and comparison data of Sihai Group is true and credible, not only is it not bragging about it, but it is even reserved, because the test data of friends is higher than the results of Sihai Group!

The X64 chip has to crush the latest model of the 486 chip in all aspects!

An unprecedented sense of crisis, like a dark cloud before the mountain rain is about to come, looms over the heads of global peers.

They can't figure out why the technology tree of the big eastern country has been growing by leaps and bounds recently?

According to the practice of Western capitalists, the best and fastest way for any foreign enterprise that is more advanced than itself is to strangle!

How can an outlier like the Sihai Group tolerate its existence in the world and harm the old men of Western capital?

This time, however, the approach of Western capital is not too radical.

The reason is that Sihai Group has the technology they also want to have!

Intel took the lead in handing over an olive branch and was willing to share chip technology with Sihai Group.

This move was unexpected by Li Yunhai.

He is ready to tear his face with Intel and carry it to the end.

Intel did not fire the first shot, but made a proposal for cooperation.

Li Yunhai held a meeting of senior executives to discuss countermeasures.

Everyone thinks that this is good news, which shows that Sihai Group has developed and grown, and even Intel is afraid!

Professor Ni felt that something was wrong, with the urine nature of the Chinese people, even his own Oriental lackeys had to be beaten, how could he let Sihai Group stand out in the semiconductor field?

The executives expressed their opinions and finally unanimously decided that, anyway, since the other party had made a request, it was okay to have a round of negotiations first.

If the other party really has a conspiracy, it can be seen through at the negotiation table, in short, it is a move to dismantle the move, and the soldiers will block the water and flood the earth.

Li Yunhai asked the secretary to contact Intel and promised them a technical exchange.

Intel said that it would let Sihai Group send representatives to the United States for negotiations.

Li Yunhai asked the other party to send someone to Xizhou to negotiate.

In the end, Intel compromised and agreed to send a delegation to Western State.

In order to welcome Intel's envoy, Li Yunhai and Professor Ni and others discussed the bottom line that may be involved in the negotiation.

What does the other person want?

What technology are we going to get from each other?

Three days later, Intel's representatives came to the Western State.

Li Yunhai invited them to negotiate in the conference room of the company's headquarters.

Intel proposed to share each other's chip technology with Sihai Group.

Li Yunhai asked the other party what kind of sharing method it was?

The other party said that it was willing to authorize its most advanced 486 chip to Sihai Group for production, provided that Sihai Group would share the core technology of X64 chip with them.

They want to trade the production license of a product for the technology of the X64 chip!

Once the other party launches a more advanced 586 chip, they can continue to card authorization.

The X64 chip will soon be imitated by the other party.

At that time, the offensive and defensive situation will change, and the Sihai Group will have no advantage at all.

Obviously, this is an unequal contract, and the other party is playing Sihai Group as a monkey.

Of course, Li Yunhai could not agree to such conditions.

Since Intel only authorizes production, Sihai Group only authorizes each other's production.

The X86 chip will continue to be upgraded, and the same is true for the X64 chip.

For each subsequent upgrade, the two parties will sign an authorization contract again.

That's how fair and just it is.

But Intel is very stubborn and insists on its own opinions, and the reason is simple: Intel is a strong old chip manufacturer that has occupied the vast majority of the global chip market. The Longteng chip is just a newly developed product, and such a product does not even have market recognition, let alone market scale! Therefore, they made such a request from the position of strength.

Li Yunhai snorted coldly and said, "Why do you start from a position of strength and make such an unequal demand? Our Dragon chips can crush you in terms of performance, and can also be equipped on servers for better expansion performance. It is only a matter of time before Longteng chips occupy the market. You can't claim it from the advantage of strength!

Intel's representative said that it is unknown whether the Longteng chip can be accepted by the market, but our chip already has the largest market, and you can continue to make a lot of money after you get the authorization of the 486 chip. For us, Longteng chip is still a new product that needs to be vigorously promoted, and we have to invest heavily in promotion first, and we will suffer first.

The public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and the two sides did not give in to each other, and the negotiations reached an impasse.

Intel representatives made a killer move, saying that if Sihai Group does not agree to their request, they will consider suspending all cooperation with Sihai Group, including but not limited to stopping the production authorization of all chips, and even stopping the supply of all chips to Sihai Group!

This is to completely break with the Sihai Group!

The fox's tail is finally revealed!

Li Yunhai's worst feared situation appeared!

What to do?

Compromise?

Regress?

This is not Li Yunhai's style.

He had already made preparations to carry everything on his own.

If he wants to break the old monopoly power, Li Yunhai can only show the courage of a one-armed sky!

Li Yunhai immediately replied to the other party, saying that the negotiations between the two sides must be based on equality, and if you think you are superior and condescendingly negotiate with us, then we will not agree. Whatever you decide, we're here to help. Today's Sihai Group is no longer what it was five years ago, and you can give and manipulate it.

Negotiations broke up unhappily.

Intel's representatives did not leave immediately, but stayed in a hotel and talked on the phone with people at headquarters to discuss the content of the next round of negotiations.

Authorization for authorization, technology for technology, this is the bottom line of Li Yunhai's negotiations!

If Intel wants to get all the technology of Longteng PC, then the other party must also hand over all the technical patents of X86 chips, and everyone can produce two chips, and each will fight the world with their ability in the future.

Or you make your X86 and I do my X64, each singing big drama in different fields.

Intel headquarters did not respond immediately, and Mr. President also needed to hold a senior management meeting to discuss.

Their biggest uncertainty is the market prospect of X64 chips.

Longteng chips have just been launched and have not yet opened the market, can they occupy half of the semiconductor industry in the future? It's unpredictable.

However, the excellent performance of the Longteng chip has made Intel's executives dare not underestimate it, in case this chip becomes the mainstream chip in the global PC industry, leaving the X86 chip far behind? Then they will miss the most powerful track!

Once the direction is wrong, the company will also fall into the abyss from which it will never recover.

No one can predict the future, and neither can Intel's president.

So in front of this new chip, although Intel is arrogant on the surface, it is extremely anxious inside.

Powerful enemies suddenly appear, and unknown roads have crossroads!

Just like IBM's original choice, one wrong step and one wrong step, all the plates are lost!

IBM, the former blue giant, has gradually declined, and its annual profitability has declined sharply! IBM computers are no longer the consumer's go-to computer. It all stems from the mistakes of the top management, who made the wrong decision that they were not compatible with other interface products in the market. They wanted to dominate the market, but they were eaten up by the market.

Intel is now facing such a dilemma!

They also want to dominate the market, so they exclude all peers.

Will the consequences be as tragic as IBM's?

Intel's executives didn't dare to make this decision lightly.

In the end, they made a decision: to buy Longteng chips at a high price, and even to win the Sihai Group, as long as the other party agrees to sell, they will do whatever it takes!

This at all costs, of course, there is moisture, if Li Yunhai opens a high price of 21,000 tons of gold, how will the other party respond?

So the second round of negotiations began.

At the negotiating table, Intel representatives made a proposal to acquire Longteng chips.

This move was once again unexpected by Li Yunhai.

The other party would rather pay a large price to buy it than carve up the global market with Li Yunhai.

It can be seen that the other party wholeheartedly wants to engage in monopoly business, and is very optimistic about the prospects of Longteng chips, so they will invest in the acquisition.

Li Yunhai asked the other party how much he bid?

Intel representatives replied that for $5 billion, they would only acquire all the patented technologies of Longteng chips, and maintain cooperation with Sihai Group to continue to authorize the production of low-end chips.

A patented technology can be realized 5 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to 200 million or 300 million yuan at the official exchange rate, which is undoubtedly the best way for inventors.

If it was other technologies, maybe Li Yunhai would really sell it.

But this is chip technology, and it is the only opportunity for Sihai Group and even China to catch up with and surpass Western chip technology.

Once this technology is sold, China's desire to build high-end chips will become even more distant.

And it's only 5 billion US dollars, Li Yunhai's vision is not so short-sighted now, he believes that relying on this technology, he will definitely be able to earn two 5 billion, ten 5 billion, and 100 5 billion in the future!

Li Yunhai didn't think about it, and directly rejected the other party's proposal, and his answer was only two words: don't sell!

Intel thought it was because the price was too low, so they raised the price again and directly raised it to 10 billion!

But the answer they heard was still two words: no sale!

If you don't sell, you don't sell, and it has nothing to do with price.

After a round of talking, Intel representatives proposed a new acquisition.

They want to use 20 billion US dollars to buy the entire Sihai Group!

The negotiators on the side of the Sihai Group, including Professor Ni, were all shocked.

$20 billion!

It's really sky-high!

At that time, the official exchange rate of the US dollar against the yuan was about 5.5, 20 billion US dollars, that is, 110 billion yuan!

If Li Yunhai sells the company and cashes out 110 billion yuan, it is enough to live a free life of wealth and freedom, as long as there is no major collapse of the global monetary system, it is estimated that the next few generations of the Li family will not have to work, and they will be able to live a prosperous life by eating interest.

Professor Ni and the others all looked at Li Yunhai, they felt that the boss was only afraid that he would be moved this time, and most of them would sell the company.

$20 billion is also the highest price Intel can give, which is also the result of discussions among their executives.

Li Yunhai sat calmly, his posture did not change in the slightest, his eyelids did not blink more, and he did not show the slightest respect for the $20 billion.

Professor Ni held on to the frame of his glasses, rolled his big Adam's apple a few times, and said, "Mr. Li, what do you think?" $20 billion! Almost half of IBM's market capitalization! If you get this money, you will directly become the richest man in China! Richer than Li Jiacheng in Xiangjiang! ”

Li Yunhai showed no signs of being moved at all, and he smiled slightly: "Professor Ni, are you trying to persuade me to sell the company?" Have you forgotten what we wanted to do in the first place? ”

Professor Ni smiled and said, "I haven't forgotten that our ideal, our original intention, is to create domestic lithography machines and chips, and we have succeeded!" ”

Li Yunhai said in a deep voice: "After success, do you want to sell success to realize it?" If the pioneers of our country, after inventing two bombs and one satellite, sold the technology at a high price, what kind of behavior do you say? ”

Professor Ni said with a solemn face: "What Mr. Li said is extremely true, but I am short-sighted. ”

Some things can't be sold! Some things don't have a price!

$20 billion is indeed very tempting, but what makes Li Yunhai insist more than this money is the road of China's chip development.

Li Yunhaiyun lightly rejected Intel's acquisition!

He said one word to the Intel representative: "No! ”

The Intel representative was shocked: "How can you say no?" ”

Li Yunhai said proudly: "Why can't I say no? I, Li Yunhai, am the boss of Sihai Group and the largest shareholder, I can say no! ”

The Intel representative opened his big blue eyes and said, "Do you know how much money you rejected?" $20 billion! Your company is excellent, but $20 billion is a lot! That's enough to buy your company. You set up and run this company, and in just seven years, you can take $20 billion! You've made a lot of money! ”

Li Yunhai took out the cooperation agreement drawn up by his own side, put it in front of the other party, and said: "This is the blueprint of the cooperation agreement drawn up by us, please look at it, and if you agree, please sign it." Otherwise, our round of negotiations will end without a hitch. ”

On this agreement, Li Yunhai proposed that the two sides uphold the principle of equal cooperation and authorize each other to produce all their own chip products, and the cooperation period is 10 years.

Intel representatives flipped through the agreement and didn't agree on the spot.

The second negotiation ended inconclusively.

Afterwards, when Li Yunhai and Professor Ni and others discussed, everyone said that they had just pinched a cold sweat and were very afraid that Li Yunhai would be impulsive, and for the sake of $20 billion in face, he would impulsively agree to sell the group.

Li Yunhai laughed and said that we are not without gains, at least let me know that my company is worth 20 billion US dollars!

Zhao Jinping and others were also present, they knew about the listing of the Xiangjiang company, and said that the mere $20 billion is not a big deal, and the total market value of our company in Xiangjiang is as high as $10 billion, plus so many factories and buildings in the mainland, it is definitely worth 20 billion yuan. The capitalists seem to be very generous, but in fact they have already calculated the accounts for us. How much should be paid for the acquisition, they are all pinching the boundary line! How can these capitalists, guys who eat people and don't spit out bones, give us benefits?

The second round of negotiations collapsed again!

Intel representatives urgently contacted headquarters to report the status of the negotiations.

Li Yunhai does not want the company to be acquired, this is to use the X64 chip to make a big difference!

Intel executives continued to meet to discuss.

They couldn't think of a more clever way to convince Li Yunhai.

Annoyed and angry, the Westerners decided to give Li Yunhai a little color to see, first beat and defeat the Sihai Group, and then make an acquisition, maybe it will be won without spending 20 billion US dollars.

The next day, when Li Yunhai came to the company and sent someone to contact the Intel representative, he found that the other party had left overnight!

It's a strategic retreat!

Retreat quietly, retreat to make people suspicious!

Li Yunhai knew that the other party was going to tear his face.

Sure enough, on the morning of the same day, Li Yunhai received a notice from Intel that the two parties would suspend all cooperation and negotiations, and that the chip production authorization would not be renewed after the expiration of the license, and at the same time, because of limited production capacity, it would be restricted from providing the whole system of X86 chips to Sihai Group in the future.

Completely banned!

Sihai Group will no longer be able to purchase and produce Intel-related chips in the future!

After Li Yunhai heard Intel's decision, he was both excited and felt that the future was bleak.

He is happy that he has finally decoupled from Intel, which can be regarded as benevolence! After all, not everyone has this "glory" to work against Intel, and they can force the other party to issue a banning order!

But on the other hand, Li Yunhai was deeply confused, because he didn't know whether the Longteng chip could be accepted by consumers.

If the Longteng chip can be done, then with or without the X86 chip, the impact will not be too great.

What if the Longteng chip is not recognized?

Westerners have created all kinds of artificial barriers to prevent Longteng chips from going to the world?

Then Li Yunhai and Sihai Group will lose completely!

Intel, like Li Yunhai, is doing a turn-of-the-century multiple-choice question.

This is a new path, even if Li Yunhai has the wisdom of rebirth, he can't make the best decision.

Longteng chip gave him all his hopes, and also invested all his net worth!

If it fails, then he will really go bankrupt!

Li Yunhai gambled on the fate of himself and Sihai Group!

Wealth and danger are sought!

Then bet on it!

Anyway, Lao Tzu is still young!

Big deal, start all over again!

So, Li Yunhai looked into the microphone and said calmly: "I respect all the decisions made by your company!" (End of chapter)
