Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 190: Hoarding CPU to get authorization

The undercurrent on Apple's board of directors was just an episode for Tang Huan. (Top) (dot) novel x.

To put it simply, no matter how much profit or loss, this issue only involves his private money, but it has no effect on the company.

As for Roberts and his like, perhaps the power he relied on behind him has a background, but he himself is just a little flea and doesn't need to care.

You know, Tang Huan is already among the upper-class celebrities in the Greater San Francisco area and even California. There are many people to contact, so there is no time to waste energy on him.

Because his aunt was so quiet, he had already gone to Singapore when he was still in Europe. Deng Lijun also took his children back to Los Angeles to prepare for the concert. Tang Huan simply stayed in Cupertino.

With the advancement of the 386 plan, the main semiconductor components required for the mass production of the second-generation Fangyuan computer also need to be purchased early.

At present, both memory and -6502 and -z80 8-bit CPUs can find a second source of supply in Japan. Tang Huan no longer needs to worry about potential suppression.

However, the tel8086 and 386 plans to use are currently only available from the original Intel and Motorola factories in the United States. It can be said that this is the only one, and there is no semicolon.

In the original time and space, after the ibm- came out in August 1981, its sales volume was 25,000 units that year. By 1982, it reached 190,000 units, and in 1983 it directly climbed to 700,000 units.

From this, it is not difficult to calculate how many CPUs ibm has purchased from Intel, in contrast. Tang Huan also needs cpu for game consoles.

and so. Taking advantage of now ibm has not fully driven the value of the microprocessor. It is very cost-effective to stock up a certain number of CPUs appropriately.

Perhaps, he can still scrabble rabbits—piggyback, and according to his own wishes, avoid the US technology export control, and bring the authorization of the second manufacturer to Japan.

As for the main body of purchase, it is of course ea, a gold-sucking monster, even if it has just bought 40% of the shares of Lianmei. You can still use a lot of funds, and take advantage of the current hot money to flush into this industry, so you don't need to use it for nothing.

After the meeting and discussion, Tang Huan decided to purchase 50,000 Intel intel8086 and Motorola in the first batch, and the next batch depends on the outcome of the negotiation.

Intel is in Silicon Valley, so it is naturally the first contact. But before meeting with Intel President Andy Grove, Tang Huan asked about Intel's current situation. Because some former Intel engineers founded Seeq with their own funding and produced it. Prosecuted by Intel.

In case he was not ready, Grove squirted out of his anger. That's not good.

Tang Huan was really ready to do his homework. After meeting with Grove, before he waited for his hips to get warm, the other party said straightforwardly: "Tang, there is a seeq company in Silicon Valley that seems to have funds with you. Contacts, but its technology belongs to our Intel."

"Sorry, Andy, I did invest in Seeq, but I really don't know. It is so complicated, and patent disputes are involved." Tang Huan smiled wryly, "You know, my product." You seem to be more conservative in your consideration of maintaining profits, so when I heard that there is a company that can mass produce moderately priced products, I got involved."

"It's really that simple?" Grove's face was uncertain.

"Of course." Tang Huan shrugged frankly, "Aside from anything else, my company hasn't purchased all kinds of memory from Intel as usual. It should be called a star customer."

Tang Huan said so arrogantly, it was indeed because he did not buy things from Intel less.

Due to its early start in the semiconductor industry and its strong technical strength, Intel's production process has always been mature and stable, and the excellence of its products is well-known, so Tang Huan had to hold his nose to endure high prices for purchases.

Electronic products have always had an unspoken rule. Products sold in different regions have different versions. For example, there are differences between the European version and the Asian version of the Walkman. The Xiaobawang game console is not immune, and naturally, different batches will be produced. At the time, different parts were used. Intel's products were designed to cope with this situation. Otherwise, all Japanese products would have been used long ago.

Tang Huan was an acting school, and he had done a lot of face-saving. Grove saw that he was sincere, so he didn't go any further.

Of course, the actual situation is that everyone is a thoughtful person and knows everything in the market, and we must know how to weigh the weight.

"If possible, I will try my best to persuade seeq and Intel to reach a settlement. After all, everyone is relying on technology for food and should respect each other's labor results." After Tang Huan said a few words painlessly, the conversation changed. Dao understands his purpose.

"50,000 intel8086." Grove muttered, with a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

He is quite familiar with the hardware products in the hands of the big customer in front of him. There is at least one in the Cassidy game console and the Apple function expansion card; the CPU of the 6502 architecture, its consumption capacity of the CPU, is simply outrageous. It's hard to use your brains.

"Thank you for your patronage, we will give you the most favorable discount." After Grove expressed his opinion, he asked tentatively, "You have developed a new product?"

"It's natural, otherwise what do I purchase it for." Tang Huan smiled and said leisurely: "This is only the first batch, but what I am worried about is that your main energy is now on the production of memory, micro-processing The proportion of the business of the device is not large, so, is there sufficient guarantee for its production capacity?"

"This problem~www.wuxiaspot.com~ don't worry, Intel is capable of solving any production problems." Grove waved his hand proudly.

"In my opinion. There is still a second manufacturer to insure." Tang Huan stared at Grove, "Don't be too busy to refuse, I heard that ibm has contacted you. I guess it should be related to the cpu. According to Big Blue’s consistent requirements for suppliers are indispensable for a second manufacturer, and it is difficult for Intel to refuse this cooperation. Therefore, it will be sooner or later that a second manufacturer appears.

"You know so much." Grove snorted annoyed. "Could it be that you plan to invest in building a factory?"

"This job is too professional, I can't do it." Tang Huan shook his head modestly, "I'm asking for the company in Japan, you know, they are very rich now."

"Sorry, I can't answer you right away about this." Grove said slowly.

"It doesn't matter, I have the patience to wait." Tang Huan stood up and left, leaving a sentence before leaving, "I am also very interested in Motorola's, but it is a quasi-32-bit cpu." (To be continued... )
