I Am the President of the University

Latest website:

Beautiful country, Intel Corporation headquarters.

In a certain office.

CEO Robert Swan is sitting in his office chair, his head lowered, working on documents.

There was also a middle-aged Mediterranean man standing next to him. Although he was wearing a decent suit, he could not hide the uneasiness radiating from his heart.

"Poirot, I hope you come here this time to tell me that the AR business has found a suitable buyer." Swann raised his head and looked at the executive coldly.

Poirot swallowed a lump of saliva and said with trembling lips: "I have found it..."

At this moment, he could even feel cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"Oh? Which one is it? Apple, Google or Microsoft?"

Swann was a little surprised, but it didn't affect his attitude.

He clasped his palms together and snorted coldly: "If you don't find a suitable buyer, then you will follow the NDG department!"

"The great Intel company doesn't need crap!"

The NDG department, a new equipment group under Intel, was established in 2014.

In 2014, in order to enter the wearable device market, Intel acquired the wearable device company Basis.

In the same year, Intel integrated the Basis brand into its NDG (New Device Group) with the goal of entering this emerging smart device market and suppressing Qualcomm.

In June 2015, Intel acquired head-mounted display equipment manufacturer Re.

In the summer of 2017, cracks began to appear in Intel's wearables plans.

In June of the same year, Intel recalled BasisPeak devices due to overheating concerns and directly stopped selling the product.

Obviously, the failure of BasisPeak is undoubtedly a major setback for Intel’s dream of wearable devices.

In February 2018, Intel launched Vaunt smart glasses, and it also hopes to rely on this product to renew its life in the wearable field.

But this immature Vaunt smart glasses is vulnerable to the attack from Microsoft and Google's smart glasses!

In addition, the new equipment division is burning money too fast. Since Swan took over as CEO in 2018, he has seen Intel's overall financial situation being dragged down by the new equipment group.

He decided to give up on the wearables and augmented reality market!

Let Microsoft and Google fight it out!

But... Intel spent a lot of money to enter this NDG department. If it can be resold, it is better to try to get back some of the money, which is better than disbanding the department directly.

Poirot is the head of this NDG department.

At this moment, he finally understood what the boss said.

If part of the funds were not recovered for the group, not only would the entire department be disbanded, he would also be gone.

This scared him, and he quickly replied: "It's not Apple or Microsoft, it's a Chinese company."

"A Chinese company?"

Swan frowned subconsciously and sneered: "The Chinese still want to enter this field? Even our Intel company has failed, is it possible that they will still succeed?"

"And Chinese companies still spend money on acquisitions? Aren't they good at plagiarism and counterfeiting?"

Swann would never dare to say this in public.

After all, the Chinese market is so huge that even top international companies such as Intel and Microsoft dare not give up.

But in the office, it does not affect the expression of his subjective thoughts.

Poirot took a deep breath, carefully looked at Swann's face, and then said: "The other party hopes to acquire the AR business of the NDG department."

The NDG sector has two parts. One is the ar business focusing on smart glasses, and the other is the smart watch business.

"Is it Huaxing? What they want to acquire is the smart watch business. What's the purpose of acquiring the AR business?" Swann frowned and said in confusion, "Is Huaxing going to enter the ar market?"

"It's not Huaxing..."

"Which company is that? Tengxun? Ahri?"

Poirot hesitated and said hesitantly: "To be precise, it should be a university: Guanghua University."

"Hmm? This school sounds familiar..." Swann fell into thought.

"The photon screen was developed by this university, and..." Poirot paused here, gritted his teeth and continued: "And the other party is still researching photon chips..."

"Oh, I remembered!"

It dawned on Swann that he rang the university.

I couldn't help but chuckle, "I remember that Dr. Liang rejected our Intel company and went to this university, right?"

"Yes."

After Poirot finished speaking, he asked tentatively: "Boss, this university is developing chips, so do we still want to sell the AR business of the other party's NDG department?"

After all, Intel's main business is chips, and if the other party is researching chips, then it is an enemy.

As long as we don't reduce the enemy's strength, how can we help the enemy?

Swan did not respond to this question immediately, but asked: "Apart from Microsoft and Google, no other companies have come up to inquire?"

Poirot shook his head, "Yes, yes, but the price is far lower than our psychological price."

"Then let's negotiate a high price with the other party regarding the AR business price!"

Swann closed his eyes. If he didn't sell it out, the only way was to disband the department.

As for the optical core, he didn't believe that the other party could do it!

Photonic chips are far more difficult than ordinary electronic chips.

As a company that mainly develops CPUs, it is also the world's largest manufacturer of personal computer parts and CPUs.

Swann is very clear-minded. Not to mention Intel, even Qualcomm, Apple, and Samsung cannot develop photonic chips.

If these institutes were brought together to develop together, it might still be possible.

It's just... this is even more impossible.

"But, but the other party is also researching chips. Where is the board of directors?"

“Am I the CEO or are you?”

Swann's eyes opened instantly, and his eyes were as sharp as knives falling on Poirot. He scolded: "The funds required to research chips are huge! Selling the AR business to the other party will not only divide the other party's energy, but also Consuming the other party’s funds. In Chinese terms, this is called killing two birds with one stone!”

"No one knows chips better than me!"

…

…

On the afternoon of the 19th, due to the influence of the typhoon, the weather on Ludao was rarely cool.

Guanghua downstairs.

Chen Hao, who was waiting for Lu Zhou and the others, opened the car window and blew in the wind, but suddenly received a call from Zhu Chen.

On the phone, the other party's tone was also very excited, as if he had found a partner.

But after hearing what the other party said, Chen Hao's face was extremely stunned.

"What? Intel is willing to sell its AR business?"

He thought he would spend some time with the other party, but he never expected that the other party would agree to sell it so quickly? ?

However, many commercial negotiations are still needed on the purchase price.

"Director Zhu, please calm down first."

Compared to Zhu Chen's gaffe, Chen Hao was extra calm. After some analysis, he ordered, "In this way, we can hire a professional team of negotiators for this business negotiation, and you will lead the team to Beautiful Country and Intel Company."

"During the process, if there are any important things, you must report to me in real time!"

"Yeah, okay, that's all."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao drove to the road next to Guanghua Building.

Although the acquisition of Intel's AR business is very important, this matter cannot be rushed and will take at least a while.

At present, the most important thing for him is the expert interview for the digital analog competition!

After waiting for a while, Lu Zhou and three others came together.

"Principal, I kept you waiting for a long time." Zheng Tianyu opened the passenger door and said apologetically to Chen Hao after getting in the car.

"It's okay, I just came down not long ago."

Chen Hao smiled slightly, started the car, and asked, "Have you all taken leave?"

Zheng Tianyu scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Hey, I asked for three days' leave."

Chen Hao comforted him nonchalantly: "It's okay, the competition is not easy, so just relax."

At this time, Zhang Lei, who was sitting in the back seat with Lu Zhou, touched the leather under his butt and asked curiously: "Principal, is your car made of real leather? It feels quite comfortable. It should cost hundreds of thousands more." ?”

"Hundreds of thousands more?"

Watching the three people coming towards him, Chen Hao touched his nose and said casually: "It's not expensive, only ten worth a few hundred thousand."

Zhang Lei:…….

"...Isn't this expensive?"

Sorry to bother you, I shouldn't have asked!

During the conversation, the outline of Gaoqi International Airport gradually became clearer.

Airport gate.

Zheng Tianyu looked at the endless stream of passengers outside through the car window, turned to Chen Hao and said gratefully: "Principal, please go back quickly, just send them here."

"Wait until I pull into the parking lot."

"Aren't you going back to school?"

"Why should I go back?"

Chen Hao raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"I will go to the capital with you."

ps: Please give me recommendations and monthly votes!

Intel sold its ar business and disbanded its NDG department in 2018. For convenience, the timeline is modified here.

Tomorrow I will finish the plot of the digital analog competition.
