Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

Page 924

And before these two, there was an even more awesome Chinese, Wang An.

As early as the 80s, Wang An Computer Company dominated the global market, comparable to IBM.

At that time, Bill was just a little brother in front of Wang An.

Even Bill once recalled that he claimed that if Wang An Computer Company hadn't gone bankrupt, it would be absolutely impossible for them to have Microsoft today.

Far away.

Why go to ATI.

It's too simple.

Chen Yu likes to do a full set of things.

In order to fool everyone, Chen Yu had to act out the whole scene.

Fooling Nvidia is just the first step.

Then fooling ATI is the second step.

And why should you fool ATI.

In fact, it is also simple. Compared with He Guoyuan of ATI, he is obviously more convincing than Huang Renxing of Nvidia.

In fact, ATI He Guoyuan himself has the idea of ​​selling.

As for why.

One is competition from Nvidia and others.

The other is the competition from Intel.

ATI used to be the overlord in the graphics card industry, but when he found out that Intel wanted to enter the graphics card field, and even entered the motherboard field, He Guoyuan felt a deep crisis.Once Intel enters the motherboard business, it will deal a fatal blow to ATI.Because everyone knows that the graphics card is plugged into the motherboard.If Intel wants to make a motherboard, it is absolutely impossible to tolerate the existence of a graphics card giant like ATI.

For this reason, in order to resist the invasion of Intel, He Guoyuan also entered the motherboard business.Moreover, in order to resist Intel's attack, he also united with all motherboard manufacturers including ASUS to purchase microprocessors from other companies, which finally stopped Intel.But although Intel was repelled, because it had been focusing on dealing with Intel at that time, Nvidia, which only focused on graphics cards, caught up.

Until now, ATI has been slightly weaker than Nvidia.

Talking with He Guoyuan went smoothly.

Then, in the end, Chen Yu started to fool AMD.

otherwise.

Both Yingwei and ATI have fooled, but there is no buyer, so Chen Yu will go crazy.

Fortunately everything went well.

Chen Yu had to deal with Intel before, so he wanted to go to AMD first.

But he didn't look for AMD, and his Weibo was first used by the founder of AMD, Mr. Sang.

Chen Yuxi was in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and kept helping silently behind him.

This performance successfully won the favor of Sanders.

When he learned that Chen Yu was coming to AMD, Mr. Sanders, who was still in the hospital, jumped out of the hospital bed.

"Mr. Sanders, how is your illness?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Chen Yu, you are really my lucky star."

"Thank you, Mr. Sanders."

"Your Weibo is very interesting, and thank you for helping us with AMD during this period of time."

"Intel is also our competitor. Helping your company is also helping us. However, Intel is very strong. It is difficult for AMD to be Intel's competitor just by relying on Weibo. If your company can enter the GPU business and chipset business , I think it will be of great help to your company."

"Into the GPU and chipset business?"

Sanders touched his chin: "I have thought about such a plan before, but we haven't done much research on this technology."

"You can consider the way of equity or acquisition."

Then, Chen Yu said directly: "ATI and Nvidia both intend to sell."

Ok.

The play is complete.

Chapter 1028: Investing in AMD

In order to face the competition from Intel, AMD must develop more diversified business.

If ATI and Nvidia do not want to be choked by Intel, they must also cooperate with another major CPU manufacturer.

One is intended to buy and the other is intended to sell.

Naturally, such an acquisition will be achieved.

Although none of the three companies had contacted before, under the leadership of Chen Yu, such an acquisition was quickly completed.

However, in the end AMD chose ATI instead of Nvidia.

As for why.

In fact, there are not many reasons.

If you want to talk about the reason, it is that Mr. Sanders thinks that he can still work until he is 80 years old.

"Chen Yu, thank you for making this acquisition."

"You're welcome, I actually have my own purpose."

"I know, but you helped me anyway."

He Guoyuan expressed his gratitude to Chen Yu: "However, it may take some time to actually complete the acquisition."

"I know."

Chen Yu nodded.

Even if both companies are interested in a large-scale acquisition like this, it cannot be completed overnight.

One is that AMD is a US company, and the other is that ATI is a graphics card company in Canada.

The acquisition of both requires the approval of relevant departments.

In addition, a series of businesses and processes have to be completed one by one.

Even if the two parties push forward with all their strength, it will take at least half a year.

But fortunately, the higher-ups in the United States did not embarrass AMD.

At the same time, they don't want Intel to dominate alone, and they support AMD's acquisition of ATI.

"By the way, Mr. He, if this acquisition is completed, what are your plans?"

"I haven't thought about it yet."

He Guoyuan said with a smile: "It is estimated that I will travel around the world for a while."

"what's next?"

"Next."

He Guoyuan shook his head: "Let's talk about it when the time comes, God doesn't know what will happen in the next second."

"That's right. Maybe it gave Mr. He inspiration when you were traveling. Of course, Mr. He, if you have the opportunity, you can go to the mainland..."

"of course."

Regarding Chen Yu's invitation, Bao Guoyuan nodded happily: "Maybe you don't know, I was born in the mainland, and I was still in Guangzhou."

"Guangzhou, our Huanyu Technology headquarters is also in Guangzhou."

"Yes, I spent my childhood in Guangzhou. I went to Macau when I was 12, and Hong Kong the next year... Then I went to Canada when I was 32. Since then, I seldom go back to the mainland. "

While talking, He Guoyuan sighed with emotion.

Probably, at this time, he was also recalling his childhood in the Mainland.

"Hehe, the mainland has changed a lot now compared to before."

"I also learned something from news reports, Chen Yu, let's do it first, I'm going back to Toronto now. If I go back to the mainland one day, I will definitely contact you."

"I'm waiting for you."

Chen Yu's proposal is not for nothing.

He told He Guoyuan to go back to the mainland for a walk, so naturally he had his arrangements.

It would be a pity if He Guoyuan sold the company and stopped doing graphics cards.

If possible, Chen Yu is willing to restart graphics card furnace manufacturing with He Guoyuan in the Mainland.

However, Chen Yu will not put all the chips on He Guoyuan's side.

Separated from Bao Guoyuan, Chen Yu began to think about whether he could occupy more AMD shares in this acquisition.

Of course, this is not how much AMD shares the old man AMD really wants to give up.

But as the world's top graphics card manufacturer, although ATI is not as big as AMD, it will cost a lot to acquire ATI.

With the current cash flow of AMD, there is simply not much to offer.

So, there are two options.

One option is to take some cash and AMD stock to buy ATI.

The other is to bring in other investors.

Obviously, Chen Yu was one.

Originally, Chen Yu only wanted 1% of AMD's shares.

But after contacting AMD Sanders, Chen Yu discovered that AMD's financial situation is actually very bad.

Just like their dual-core processors.

Obviously they released it before Intel, and it is still a true dual-core.

But there is not much money to publicize, such a good product has not been introduced to the market.

However, after getting in touch with Weibo, Sanders had a slight liking for Huanyu Technology.

he thinks.

With AMD's current development situation, it is difficult for them to fight against Intel.

However, if Huanyu Technology is introduced, it will be completely different.

and so.

From Sanders' hint, Chen Yu heard that he intended to let Universal Technology take more shares in AMD.

of course.

Chen Yu, who owns the shares, will not directly use the identity of Huanyu Technology, but will use the reputation of an investment company registered in the United States.

The reason for this is to avoid unnecessary trouble.

But that's okay.

Anyway, the final actual controller is Chen Yu.

"Mr. Chen, you are back."

"Why, Wang Chang, what happened?"

"It's still a matter of financing. Major venture capital companies have come to us dozens of times and are just waiting for you to come back."

"Oh, yes."

Chen Yu smiled slightly.

He was thinking, where would the funds for more AMD shares come from?

"Okay, just contact them and tell them I'm back."

"In the afternoon, I can chat with them first."

This is of course not formal financing.

For the afternoon's arrangement, Chen Yu just wanted to find out about them.
