Super Tycoon

Finally, the merger is going to happen. This is the merger that Zhang Yang has been thinking about for a long time. After the merger of the two companies, it will become an enterprise spanning CPU and GPU just like Intel.

And they developed APU earlier, if this product can be launched in advance, it will occupy more market share.

In the previous life, Chaowei merged the alternative solution ATI and spent more than 5 billion US dollars. However, due to poor communication, the turnover of both parties has declined, the research and development progress has been slow, and the stock price has also fallen all the way.

Even the company went from profit to loss. Of course, this loss is just a loss on the report, not that the company is really going downhill.

But the phenomenal growth of the two companies has slowed down as a result. Encouraged by Intel, other PC manufacturers reduced their orders for Chaowei to prevent Chaowei from growing too fast.

Intel's price reduction, coupled with the secret support of Microsoft, PC manufacturers naturally no longer pay attention to AMD for the sake of profit. This life is different, they operate independently after the merger, the possibility of being targeted is reduced, and the flexibility is also higher.

The most important point is that after the merger, Zhang Yang will become the major shareholder. Although none of them can hold a controlling stake, Zhang Yang's right to speak will greatly increase.

"Jerry, you said before that there will be some political intervention, is it resolved now?"

If Zhang Yang was from the United States, he would naturally ignore this point. They are not a monopoly, but a merger between companies. They are still American companies, and they are all in Silicon Valley. What does the government care about?

To become a large enterprise and become more competitive, it is too late for the government to encourage it. But now the major shareholder has become Zhang Yang, a native of Huaxia, this is different.

"Zhang, you personally hold only a small number of stocks, and the stocks held by Zhiduoxing Group are not as good as mine, so in name, you are not the largest shareholder, but I am."

"And last year, Zhiduoxing Group donated some charitable funds in North America, and the word of mouth is also good. I have persuaded some people, and they agreed to support our merger."

"You don't have a core position in the company. You are just a director, not the chairman or the CEO. There will be no problem. There is no conflict between our two countries, is there?"

Zhang Yang would like to say that there is no conflict for the time being, because the United States feels that it is still the largest country, and no one can compete. But in ten or twenty years, when the speed of China's rise attracts the attention of the whole world, it will be uncertain.

But that is all ten or twenty years later, so what are you worried about now?

At that time, Huaxia's R\u0026D center should also be developed, and Jerry Sanders will also age, and Jason Huang will also age. As the major shareholder, Zhang Yang, what's wrong with coming forward to manage the company?

Zhang Yang also has Huaxia as his backing, so he has nothing to fear. If it doesn't work, he can mess up Trump's industry and make him a pauper, let's see how arrogant he is.

"After the merger, what is the specific authority structure?" Zhang Yang asked in detail.

"I am the chairman, Jason Huang is the director and president, Hector Reitz is the director and CEO, and you are the vice chairman. At the same time, you and Jason Huang each nominate two directors to form a nine-member board. The board of directors, can we each nominate a supervisor for the board of directors, okay?"

This is the separation of powers between the three parties, and no one can occupy absolute power. Since Sanders raised it, it proves that he has communicated with Jason Huang.

After all, Sanders is in his sixties. If he doesn't retire for ten years, he will retire in twenty years. Maybe Jason Huang thinks he can take over. But at that time, Zhang Yang was already in his 30s and 40s, when he was in the prime of life, who could compete with him when he stood up?

"Yes, I agree with this plan. But for both subsidiaries, I will appoint a vice president to be in charge of the business in Huaxia District. Is this okay?"

"You don't plan to manage the Huaxia market yourself? I have no problem with that.

I think Jason will be fine too. "There is no one in the Huaxia market who is more suitable than Zhang Yang, and it is because of Zhang Yang that they can develop so fast.

In terms of finances, Zhang Yang has already dispatched manpower, so there is no need to worry about this.

"After the merger of the two companies, have you considered Intel's targeting? If Intel increases its targeting of the merged company, how should we respond?"

"I'm not worried, because AMD has just signed a long-term cooperation agreement with six PC manufacturers, all in Asia, Europe and America, and Intel can't block us."

"What's more, our performance is not weaker than Intel's. At the same time, because of the independent graphics card, it is easier to upgrade the product, and the price is relatively affordable. It will be very popular in the market."

"We have also contacted Microsoft. They have made some system optimizations for AMD's CPU. Starting from the XP system, we have no weaknesses."

Saunders was full of spirits and challenged Intel for decades. Many people in the Fairchild Semiconductor family failed, and some even left early. Only he stood up.

In 1998, there were rumors that he was going to sell Chaowei to IBM and retired since then. He refuted those rumors, why should he sell to IBM? He just went to visit IBM to discuss the possibility of cooperation.

Many people say that he is different from other entrepreneurs. He is more like a star because he is very high-profile, never hides his wealth, and never gives up enjoying life.

But so what? Does starting a business have to be hard work? He has such a large enterprise, although he has been losing money, but his salary is not low, why can't he spend money to enjoy it?

Those who say he is exaggerated are all jealous. He succeeded, didn't he?

He has never concealed his desire for money, and even said to the media more than once that he just wants to make more money, and at the same time lead other people in the company to make money. Is this wrong?

Isn't it for making money? Those who talk about dreams are just putting on a false cloak, and the core is to make money.

He is different from other entrepreneurs, so what? Do others have to do that?

Several of the original eight founders have left now. Of course, they have all received at least 20 times the return. Those stocks were also repurchased by Sanders, which caused him to hold so many voting rights.

Of course, there is also the fact that he rewards himself with stocks every year when he calculates his salary. The chairman and CEO rewards him every year is not a small amount.

Now he is also considering retiring from the second line, as the chairman, and letting Hector Ruiz and Jason Huang, whom he hired from Motorola, run the company's work. It's time for him to enjoy his life.

"Have you considered ATI? How would they choose when they saw the merger of Eagle Weida and Chaowei?"

"This Jason Huang has thought about it. He believes that in the discrete graphics card market, Eagle Weida can compete with ATI and even occupy more shares."

"Zhang, since you don't object, then it's settled. I'll arrange for people to go through the procedures. After a while, the stock will be temporarily suspended. Our Chaowei Eagle Weida Holding Group will surprise the world!"
