Chapter 576: The Gap Is Narrowing

Jerry Sanders is in a very good mood recently. Last year, the company's revenue has increased again, and Huaxia's factories have also started operation, with increased production capacity and reduced costs.

And not only received a large order from Lenovo Group, but also received a large order from Moscow Electronics, and the company's business is booming.

It is true that since September last year, the stock prices of listed companies around the world have fallen, and only a few can grow. The stock price of AMD has also fallen again, but the decline is not large.

Because of Chaowei's revenue growth and profit growth. For loss-making companies, the stock price decline must be high, but for profitable companies, the decline is not so high, especially for companies whose stock prices are not high in the first place.

Intel's stock price has fallen by one-third, and its market value is only in the early 200 billion U.S. dollars, and it may fall below 200 billion U.S. dollars.

Of course, Chaowei's stock price also fell below 10 billion U.S. dollars, but Sanders didn't care at all. The company's debt ratio is not high, and it doesn't matter if it falls to 5 billion U.S. dollars.

Intel planned to block Chaowei on the customer side, but failed. In the lawsuits between the two parties, Chaowei has also won many times.

Intel's monopoly has made other manufacturers look down on it, and PC manufacturers have begun to cooperate with AMD, including emerging giants like Lianxiang. Intel has sensed the crisis and is planning a counterattack.

Last year, Intel's planned revenue was 30 billion U.S. dollars, but it failed to achieve it, while Chaowei exceeded the plan.

This year, Chaowei's plan is to adjust the revenue to 7 billion US dollars, and continue to erode Intel's market, hoping to reduce Intel's revenue to less than 25 billion US dollars.

In other words, Chaowei hopes that its market share can exceed 20%, or even higher. After all, Intel's revenue also includes integrated graphics cards, motherboards, etc.

In fact, among the core chip companies, Chaowei was the last entrant in that era. When they entered, Intel was already the boss.

However, Sanders led Chaowei's continuous development, raised funds everywhere, recruited talents everywhere, and came up with various marketing plans, which finally allowed Chaowei to survive the difficulty of bankruptcy.

At that time, chip giants such as Motorola had already withdrawn from the market, while Chaowei was still there and began to make profits, which was also reported by many media.

Around Christmas last year, Sanders accepted many media interviews, all of which praised him for avoiding the pain of chip monopoly.

Once Intel really monopolizes chips, the growth of chip performance will definitely slow down in the future, and the price will increase, and people will definitely pay more to buy computers and other products.

Intel originally wanted to imitate Microsoft. Microsoft supported Apple. Bill Gates personally invested 100 million US dollars to help Apple tide over the difficulties and prevent Microsoft from forming an absolute monopoly.

There is still an Apple system in the market, why do you say we have a monopoly?

Intel licensed its technology to many companies at the beginning, and defeated them one by one. In the end, it wanted to keep one, give the other party less than 5% of the market, ensure that the other party will not go bankrupt, and it will be perfect if it is not big.

But the result is that Chaowei introduced a new shareholder, this shareholder has no technology, but has money. Not only invested a large sum of money in Chaowei, helped Chaowei repay many debts, but also helped Chaowei build a factory in China, establish a technology research and development center, and introduced several major customers to Chaowei.

Intel found that it could not suppress AMD like Microsoft suppressed Apple, especially when companies such as Transmeta emerged again.

Intel was able to allow another competitor, but could not allow more companies to come in to take a share, so Intel first attacked Transmeta, blocking the other party's customer channels, so that they could not sell.

This will also warn others,

If you want to enter this industry, first think about how to face the anger of Intel.

Chaowei took advantage of this opportunity to develop silently, and the technology of the processor has improved extremely fast. It has already launched a 1GHZ CPU first, and it is in the limelight.

And according to what Zhang Yang said, they purchased a brand-new architecture method from Yiserel, and are preparing to launch a new CPU architecture, which can improve performance even more.

In their original architecture, theoretically, the single-core upgrade to about 2GHZ will reach the ceiling, but now it can reach more than 3GHZ.

Moreover, this architecture also promotes their dual-core architecture. Chaowei has planned to continue to surpass Intel in dual-core technology, thereby gradually changing everyone's impression.

Who said that the best CPU is Intel, but our Chaowei products are the king of performance, and they are of high quality and low price!

The start of Huaxia's factory can reduce Chaowei's production costs, which Intel can't match. I just don’t know that it will take a few years for Chaowei’s revenue to exceed tens of billions of dollars.

The APU developed in cooperation with Eagle Weida also has some ideas, but they are just ideas. At present, there is still a large gap in technology, and the cooperation between the two parties will be somewhat inconvenient.

This time Sanders took the initiative to invite Zhang Yang over to discuss the merger of the two companies. He is willing to let Yingweida operate independently, because Chaowei has no money to buy Yingweida's shares.

Although Zhang Yang invested a large amount of money, last year's revenue and profit were also very good, but now it is suddenly difficult to get a loan. With shares as collateral, the loan amount is too low, because of the stock market crash not long ago, which led him to issue additional shares It also became difficult.

Moreover, Yingweida is not short of money, and does not agree to be acquired by a controlling shareholder, so it can only choose to merge.

...

When Zhang Yang arrived at Chaowei Company, Sanders had just brewed a pot of black tea.

"Zhang, come on, I specially learned the oriental way of making tea. This is also black tea imported from Huaxia. How about you try it?"

"That's right, it seems to be a frozen top oolong." Zhang Yang put on a professional look. Anyway, he spoke Chinese, and Sanders couldn't understand it.

"That's right, that's the oolong. It seems that I bought it right. Here, this is the company's financial statement for last year. More details will be released in March. As you know, the international settlement cycle is relatively long."

The reason why many companies turn March into a fiscal year is because of the cumbersome international settlement. It's a company that specializes in one country's market, so don't worry about it.

"Very good, it seems that I was right to invest in Chaowei. Although the stock price has fallen, it seems that I have lost money, but I think that within two years, Chaowei's stock price will start to soar."

Zhang Yang was also very satisfied when he saw the revenue and profits. Although there is no way to pay dividends, and the profits will continue to be invested in research and development and advertising, etc., but it has already developed in a good direction.

"Zhang, of course your investment is not wrong. I called you this time because I have a major matter to discuss with you about the company. I plan to merge with Yingweida. It just so happened that the company's stock price fell, and we just happened to buy back part of it. Stocks, the other party has also agreed, just waiting for your statement."
