Giant of the times

Li Zetian continued: "Intel's current main business is memory. They do not pay attention to microprocessors. In addition, Intel's recent microprocessors have all failed miserably. Therefore, this is the time to acquire Intel's microprocessor department. The best chance!!!"

"Mr. Li, are you asking me to prepare to acquire Intel now?" Dongfang Yuqin asked.

"Yes. However, it is best not to let outsiders know that Times Technology Company wants to acquire it. Times Technology Company, as a parent company, hides behind the scenes and acquires Intel's microprocessors in the name of Times Technology Company's overseas offshore subsidiaries. The equipment department. Times Technology Company already has a company called 'Donghuang Technology', so let's acquire it in its name!" Li Zetian thought for a while and then said, "Times Technology Company and Donghuang Technology Company are both empty. Shell company, you go to Los Angeles first and establish the offices of the two companies there! Remember to build them separately so as not to arouse people’s suspicion. Your current task is not only to prepare the team of Times Technology Company, but also to provide support to Donghuang Technology Company. Establish a team, and when you acquire other companies in the future, you don’t have to do it yourself. You only need to issue orders, and then Donghuang Technology Company will send its own people to complete the acquisition plan.”

"Understood, then I'll go do some work now!" Dongfang Yuqin nodded and stood up from the chair. The document Li Zetian just handed her included information about Donghuang Technology Company.

"Yeah." Li Zetian responded.

Dongfang Yuqin put the documents on the table, turned and left.

Ten days later, Dongfang Yuqin recruited a small elite team of 10 people for Donghuang Technology Company, of which 9 were recruited from three schools: Stanford University, MIT and University of California, Berkeley, and another She is an MBA graduate from Cambridge University and is also her senior - Qin Feng.

Qin Feng is 28 years old, tall, about 185cm, athletic and handsome. He originally worked at Citibank. Dongfang Yuqin knew that this senior had excellent abilities and character, so she decided to invite him to help her. At first, she couldn't invite her, but finally, with Li Zetian's permission, she revealed to Qin Feng that she was working for Li Zetian. Qin Feng became interested and agreed to change jobs.

Today, Li Zetian has become the pride of the Chinese people, and Wang An was dumped dozens of times by him. Moreover, Li Zetian's emphasis on Chinese people is obvious to all, such as Tian Shuai and Zhang Han of Apple, Li Meisheng of Apple's Monster Headphone Company, Wu Guangguang of Sunbird Company, etc. Therefore, many Chinese are very willing to work under him.

Indeed, there are many Chinese in the company under Li Zetian's name, and it has almost become a concentration camp for Chinese elites. Of course, this ratio is still far lower than that of white people as a whole.

…

Donghuang Technology Company.

Dongfang Yuqin held a meeting with Qin Feng and other members of the company.

"The first goal of Donghuang Technology Company is to acquire Intel's microprocessor department! This is the information, please take a look at it first."

Dongfang Yuqin distributes the information to everyone.

The conference room became quiet, and everyone was reading the information carefully.

Ten minutes later, Dongfang Yuqin continued, "Now that everyone has read the information, they must have an understanding of the target we want to acquire. Qin Feng, how do you think this acquisition plan should be completed?"

Qin Feng pondered for a moment and replied: "I think that since Intel doesn't pay attention to the microprocessor department, I think we can directly launch an acquisition offer to it. As long as the price is right, there is no reason for the other party not to sell to us."

"What's the estimated price?" Dongfang Yuqin asked.

"Based on the data analysis, I think US$50 million is enough. If purchased at a premium, it will never exceed US$60 million! So far, Intel has released a total of five microprocessors: 4004, 4040, 8008, 8080, 8085. However, except for the 8080 microprocessor, which was adopted by Apple's first-generation computer Apple-l, which greatly increased its sales, the other products are basically in a state of neglect. Even the best-selling ones The 8080 microprocessor could not bring much revenue to Intel. In 1976, due to the double attack of the two microprocessors Mos6502 and Z80, the annual sales of Intel's entire microprocessor division may be less than 10 million US dollars. .”

Dongfang Yuqin nodded, she had the same idea, waved the check, and went directly to the door to purchase.

"Does everyone mean the same thing?" she asked, looking at the others.

Everyone nodded.

Dongfang Yuqin said decisively: "In this case, then initiate an acquisition of Intel immediately!!!"

"yes!!!"

As soon as the meeting ended, Qin Feng immediately called Gordon Moore, the founder of Intel.

"Hello, Mr. Gordon Moore, I am Qin Feng, CEO of Donghuang Technology Company! On behalf of Donghuang Technology Company, I formally launch an acquisition offer to Intel Corporation and spend US$50 million to acquire Intel's microprocessor department!"

Gordon Moore was stunned for a moment. He had never heard of Donghuang Technology Company at all. However, this did not prevent him from thinking about this matter.

"Mr. Qin, I will hold a meeting later to discuss this matter. After the meeting, I will give you an answer!" Intel's microprocessor failed miserably, and its future is bleak. Gordon Moore is not optimistic about microprocessors. development of.

"OK!"

Immediately after the call, Gordon Moore set up a meeting.

At the meeting, he looked at Carlos Stephan of the Intel microprocessor department and said: "Carlos Stephan, I just received a call. The other party claimed to acquire the microprocessor department of Intel. I want to hear your opinion. ."

Carlos Stephen was shocked when he heard this, fell silent for a moment, and said: "I think Intel's microprocessor technology is at the top level in the world. The reason why Intel suffered a misfortune is that on the one hand, our cost is high, and on the other hand, Because the other party is late to the game, such as the Z80 microprocessor, which is slightly improved on the basis of the 8080 and becomes more powerful than the 8080. Currently, the Intel microprocessor department is developing the Intel8086, which will be the world's first 16-bit processor. Microprocessors mark the advent of the third generation of microprocessors, and their performance is much more powerful than 8-bit microprocessors. We will defeat all competitors on the market. Therefore, Intel microprocessors can still win back the market!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately asked: "Excuse me, Carlos Stephan, how much is the price of Intel8086?"

"It'll be about $360."

"Then how much are the prices of Mos6502 and Z80?"

Carlos Stephan looked troubled and did not answer.

The man immediately asked: "Carlos Stephan, as the head of Intel's microprocessor department, you don't even know the selling prices of your competitors, right?"

After a while, Carlos Stephen replied hesitantly: "Less than 25 dollars..."

The person who asked the question smiled and said: "Everyone, I will give you a multiple-choice question now. A product has excellent performance, but sells for $360; a product has average performance, barely enough, but sells for less than $25. May I ask, which product will you choose?”

Needless to say, everyone also chooses the cheaper product.

In other words, if Intel launched a 16-bit microprocessor, it would still fail, so everyone expressed their opinions.

"Who would buy such an expensive microprocessor? It is destined to fail. In my opinion, it is better to sell Intel microprocessors as soon as possible to avoid wasting the company's R\u0026D funds!"

"Yes, it would be easier to sell it earlier. Besides, microprocessors don't make much money. Intel can just focus on developing memories!"

"..."

Listening to their conversation, Carlos Stephen's face turned ugly, and his heart gradually sank.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Gordon Moore announced: "Since everyone agrees to sell the Intel microprocessor division, it has been decided. I will contact Donghuang Technology Company later!"

"Wait, Mr. Moore, I have something else to say!!!"

Carlos Stephan suddenly stood up.
