Chapter 907: Downstairs with You
"Director He, can we meet?" Qin Feng called ATI President He Guoyuan.
"Qin Feng?" He Guoyuan was stunned, but he still recognized Qin Feng's voice.
"Qin Feng, I made it very clear last time that I have no interest in your proposal!" He Guoyuan said helplessly.
After all, He Guoyuan is a young and promising compatriot from the motherland, but He Guoyuan still doesn't want the two sides to break up.
"I know, so I came here for other things! Can we meet?" Qin Feng asked.
"Then let me check the time..." He Guoyuan began to check his schedule.
"It's already noon, let's have a light lunch. I'll be downstairs in your company." Qin Feng said with a smile.
"Ah? Well, there is a Chinese restaurant on the street. The Chaoshan hotpot here is quite good!" He Guoyuan couldn't laugh or cry.
Later, Qin Feng met He Guoyuan in this Chaoshan hotpot restaurant.
The middle-aged man, although he is over fifty, exudes a heroic spirit.
"Mr. Qin, you are so quick. It reminds me of the scene when I just founded ATI more than ten years ago!" He Guoyuan sighed.
Qin Feng smiled.
"Mr. He is so ridiculous. Compared with my achievements, your achievements are truly admirable. You made a desperate move, gave up your generous annual salary, and came to a foreign country to start a business. I admire you for being here today!" Qin Feng complimented. .
Of course, this is not hypocritical, but the other person really deserves the compliment.
After the two chatted for a while, as the hot pot was served, they started to get to the point.
"Mr. He, I am here for two things. The first thing is the most important. The second thing, if you are willing to agree, then agree. If not, we will not be able to cooperate!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
"Say!" He Guoyuan nodded.
"The first thing I want to do is acquire your company's CPU business department. All technical copyrights, plus corresponding technical information, if there are talents, it's best to package them together!" Qin Feng said.
"Ah?" The peeing beef balls in He Guoyuan's hand fell directly into the hot pot.
"Sorry, sorry!" He Guoyuan apologized quickly.
"Mr. He, I want everything from your company's abandoned CPU project! I wonder how much Mr. He is asking for?" Qin Feng asked.
He Guoyuan paused.
"Mr. Qin, may I know why you want this project?" He Guoyuan smiled bitterly, "Also, how did you know about it? This project is very secretive."
Qin Feng shrugged.
"Gerry from voodoo told me." Qin Feng said.
"This guy!" He Guoyuan shook his head.
He and Gray naturally knew each other. Although the two of them are far apart, they are both in the same industry after all, so they naturally have intersections. He once had dinner with him and accidentally talked about it.
After all, ATI was under a lot of pressure when faced with Intel's aggressiveness. He also thought about seeking outside help. As a man who came from a chip company, Gray is also a talented person.
It's just that the other party has already created voodoo. So he just consulted.
"How is it? Are you willing to give up your love, Mr. He?" Qin Feng asked.
"Qin Feng, you should know that my CPU project has been abandoned because it is not mature enough and not cost-effective. If you buy it, you may not be able to compete with Intel." He Guoyuan said.
"I know, but my CPU has congenital defects, poor architecture, and it is difficult for me to upgrade it. So, I must seek external technical strength!" Qin Feng said seriously, "Currently, AMD is good, but obviously I can't get involved. In the industry, no other company manufactures desktop CPUs, only your company."
He Guoyuan nodded.
"If you don't talk about this first, what is your second thing?" He Guoyuan asked.
"The second thing is that I have reached an agreement with voodoo. I didn't need to talk to Mr. He originally. But I think we can definitely cooperate." Qin Feng said, "voodoo's strength lies in 3D games, but it is weak in 2D. , plus 3D is quite extreme, it is a very professional game graphics card. But for ordinary 3D scenes, voodoo’s processing is average. It can even be said to be terrible!”
This 3D graphics card is not just for processing games.
In addition to games, there are many application scenarios for computers.
For example, 3Dmax, a modeling software, also has 3D scene applications in mechanical manufacturing. All walks of life have more or less needs. As for voodoo, the game performance is good, but other 3D scene applications are too poor. This is also caused by its specialization in games.
"How do you mean cooperation?" He Guoyuan asked curiously.
"It does not involve equity, it is just business cooperation. Didn't voodoo propose a concept of 1+1 crossfire? I think it is completely possible to form a concept of crossfire between voodoo and ATI graphics cards. Between the two parties, your company provides ordinary 3D graphics cards, and voodoo can provide professional game rendering." Qin Feng said.
"But the price is too expensive. Besides, although our company's 3D performance is temporarily behind voodoo, it will not always lag behind." He Guoyuan frowned.
He was a little unhappy to hear Qin Feng's words.
"I know. So, I mean low-end!" Qin Feng said.
"What do you mean?" He Guoyuan was stunned again.
"Now all users need to buy a graphics card when buying a computer. My idea is to integrate the graphics card into the CPU. Then I will directly integrate the voodoo graphics card and the ATI graphics card into the CPU. However, considering the cost, I must only It is a low-end display chip. Therefore, I hope to use a CPU with the same price to realize the game display of higher-performance CPU and mid-range graphics card." Qin Feng said.
He Guoyuan was shocked by Qin Feng's idea.
"You want to integrate the display chip into the CPU!" He Guoyuan was surprised, "And you also want to implement crossfire inside!"
"Yes!" Qin Feng nodded.
"This is very difficult!" He Guoyuan thought about it.
"I know. In the short term, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve. However, we can implement crossfire on the motherboard. Integrate the chip on the motherboard." Qin Fengxiao said, "This is much simpler. Directly integrate the video memory chip on the motherboard."
"Motherboard! You seem to have just purchased an STB motherboard!" He Guoyuan understood.
"So, I wonder if Mr. He is willing to cooperate?" Qin Feng asked, "I don't care about high-end graphics cards. You compete by your own means. But on the low-end side, I hope to cooperate. Bind it to the motherboard!"
He Guoyuan pondered.
"Give me a reason why I must agree to you!" He Guoyuan said, "If you can give me a good reason, I will agree to you. Not only will I agree to you, but I will sell it to you for the CPU department for $1!"
He Guoyuan was curious about how Qin Feng planned to persuade him.
He has already agreed in his heart that this is an attempt to help the company make more money. However, he wanted to know what good reasons Qin Feng could have to convince him.
