With the help of various capitals, negotiations with Cyrix finally began.

The day before the negotiation, Su Yuanshan was so excited that he could barely sleep, and he repeatedly checked the information of both parties with Carly to determine the final bottom line for his side.

"The asset appraisal report is just a piece of paper that wipes your ass, and it is useless except to disgust people. Su Yuanshan gulped down his coffee and said energetically: "Tomorrow, in the first round, you go up first to intimidate, and I will come in the second round, and we will try to get it in two rounds." How?"

Carly laughed: "We asked for the acquisition, how can we intimidate people? Intimidate with lawsuits? That's the work that Intel can do." ”

Su Yuanshan scratched his head: "That's right, then we will talk directly and honestly tomorrow, and see how much they offer." ”

"Hmm. The point is that their FPU is a bit patented, and the patents are still valuable...... That's troublesome. ”

"It doesn't matter, we have a community of interests on our side, which is still more beneficial to the lawsuit in the future. Su Yuanshan rubbed his face and paused: "Actually, I'm mainly worried now, don't talk on our side, and then the government will come out and intervene." ”

Carly was speechless for a while: "It's not Yuanxin who came to buy it across borders...... Xinghai is a company registered in Silicon Valley. Moreover, Cyrix does not involve the military's products, so how can the government have so much leisure to care about you? Could it be that after you bought Cyrix, you put all the people in containers and tied them back to the mainland?"

“...... I'm not a kidnapper. ”

Carly spread her hands: "Isn't that over, it's a matter of course for a Silicon Valley company to acquire a Silicon Valley company." Why are you so disconfident in the government......"

Su Yuanshan said in his heart, I want to have confidence in your government......

However, Su Yuanshan quickly figured it out, and now the Star Flag Country has strong self-confidence and strength to ensure that Xinghai "abides by the rules", so it doesn't care which party Xinghai has the capital and which party controls it. In addition, Cyrix only involves civilian products, and the technology is still backward, so it is impossible to raise any security sticks.

You know, Yuanxin also has a CPU! And it is also a fully independent property architecture! The 50Mz clock speed even makes it stronger than the 486DLC series that Cyrix is making now.

The next day, the first round of negotiations with Cyrix officially began.

......

The valuation of Cyrix on the asset appraisal report was only $60 million, but Claude's offer price was 250 million, with strings attached, maintaining Cyrix's independence.

"It's okay to be relatively independent. But 250 million ...... Mr. Claude, you have raised a total of two funds from the beginning to the present, the first time 3 million, the second time 20 million, and the valuation of 20 million dollars was only 100 million US dollars, which was half a year ago. ”

Carly looked at Claude with interest: "Your valuation has increased by 2.5 times in the past six months?"

Since they are all acquaintances, Claude is not false at all, and said with a smile: "We have launched a new CPU in the past six months, which just makes up for the low-end market." ”

"That also got you into a lawsuit. ”

"But we have a good chance of winning. ”

"But if you fail, you're going to go bankrupt. And your odds are a settlement – you're going to have to pay expensive legal fees. Carly turned her pen and said with a smile: "In addition to Xinghai, is there anyone willing to invest in you now?"

Claude remained silent: "Carly, don't forget that we have a product. ”

"I know, but your products are so low-end that you have to go east - didn't you talk to HP? Carly kept teasing Claude.

As soon as "......" mentioned that AMD had robbed him of the HP order, Claude immediately became a little angry: "Our retail market is also okay!"

Carly smiled: "Not necessarily, haven't you heard, Intel is about to release a new product." ”

Claude was stunned: "Who did you listen to?"

"I said it. Su Yuanshan took over with a smile. He motioned to Carly to let herself come.

"According to reliable sources, Intel's latest products are already tape-out. When the time comes, as soon as their new products come out, what should we do if the price of the old CPUs drops down? What should we do if the old CPUs flow into the second-hand market? These are the impacts on your products. "Su Yuanshan is slow and reasonable.

Claude's face suddenly became cloudy.

Su Yuanshan continued: "And all of this comes from ...... in the final analysis You only know imitation, but you don't have your own core technology and competitiveness. Even if you win the lawsuit with Intel, you don't have to lose money. Are you counting on products that are generations behind and Intel to grab the market? Oh no...... Should it be with AMD to compete for the market?"

"You know, since the 386 era, Intel has never intended to give its peers a way to live. ”

Claude took a deep breath. He looked at Su Yuanshan carefully, hoping to find that Su Yuanshan was alarmist.

But he was disappointed, he only saw a ...... on Su Yuanshan's face A faint sense of superiority.

This sense of superiority can be understood at a glance by those who are engaged in technology, and those who have mastered advanced technology look down on those who have low technology.

This feeling made him uncomfortable, but he had to admit it...... Yuanxin's technical strength is superior to its own.

Su Yuanshan smiled again: "For the X86 architecture, in fact, we have always been involved, and we have a certain accumulation. ”

"You guys?" Claude immediately looked at Carly.

He couldn't figure out whether Su Yuanshan's "we" referred to the sea of stars or the distant core on the mainland.

Carly shrugged, "Not this way. ”

"After all, Yuanxin has the YX architecture, although it is a reduced instruction set, but now it is not badly combined with Linux, but the ecology is a little worse. There's no way, Microsoft's side is too tightly tied to Intel and doesn't support our architecture, otherwise with the YX's CPU alone, I would dare to compete with Intel against desktop processors. ”

Hearing Su Yuanshan's words, Claude just smiled.

Complex instruction sets have a natural advantage in the establishment of software ecosystems, which are not comparable to reduced instruction sets.

But he quickly asked, "What progress have you made on the X86 architecture?"

"A lot of progress. I don't lie to you, but I can't tell you right now. ”

Su Yuanshan looked at Claude with a smile: "When we become a family, I will tell you when we are." ”

"You ......," Claude almost laughed at angrily.

Please, this is a negotiation between the two sides!

He said "I have a secret weapon to help you, but you have to be mine" - is there such a child's play?

"Mr. Claude, if you know me, you know that I never lie. Just when Claude was about to go crazy, Su Yuanshan restrained his smile and said, "We do have a plan, otherwise...... Why do you think I chose you?"

"Even I'm betting that Intel will settle after we buy you, and then successfully license the X86 architecture. So that we don't have to worry about it. ”

"If it weren't for that, I could have partnered with AMD – you know, AMD has a much better chance of winning than you do. ”

Carly glanced at Su Yuanshan and tapped the pen at the right time.

"Claude, 120 million, you have an account for your investors. ”
