Chapter 745: Zero.18 Micron Process
"President Rogers!" Qin Feng introduced himself, "We are Qin Feng from China IT Technology Co., Ltd., and this is my partner Lei Jun. We are here for one purpose only, to acquire Cyrix!"
"What? You want to acquire our company?" Jerry Rogers suddenly changed his color and became angry, "You want to acquire our company?"
Qin Feng smiled.
"Now that we are here, it means that we are fully prepared. Now, since Intel released the Pentium series of chips, it has completely defeated your company's 5X86 chips and AMD's chips. It can be said that Intel has taken the lead. You guys can't even catch up. And AMD, with the support of a large consortium, is a little better. Your company has no investors in Texas, a place where birds can't shit. Of course, you can't find anyone to invest!" Qin Feng was very happy. A vitriolic analysis.
"Mr. Qin, don't you think your words are very mean?" Jerry Rogers gritted his teeth.
"Because Mr. Rogers wants to pretend to be with us!" Qin Feng shrugged, "Tell me how much it will cost!"
Qin Feng didn't want to waste time talking to this kind of person. The company was already in decline. If you don’t have yourself, you will still be acquired by others. Then just be direct and talk about money.
Especially, for Qin Feng, Cyrix is really not a good thing. It can just fill a vacancy in the country. If he wants to develop vigorously in the future, Qin Feng feels that the investment will not be small. In this regard, Qin Feng already has a plan. All I can say is, just borrow the shell of Cyrix.
"Mr. Qin, the price is US$500 million!" Jerry Rogers said coldly.
Lei Jun frowned. This price is a bit expensive.
In Lei Jun’s mind, US$300 million to US$400 million is more reasonable.
"Impossible, the company is about to go bankrupt, and you still sell it for 500 million! Then I might as well go talk to AMD!" Qin Feng said sarcastically.
In fact, it is more practical to win AMD. However, Qin Feng thought about it and consulted the lawyer introduced by Tei Mupu.
It is impossible to acquire AMD by yourself. The U.S. Department of Commerce will not pass it. Even if AMD is not in recession, it will not be acquired by Chinese people.
Only Cyrix, such a backward CPU company that is about to be eliminated, will not get involved in the US Department of Commerce.
Because it is too backward. It cannot pose the slightest threat to Intel at all.
In this case, it is no big deal for you, the Chinese, to acquire it.
"Mr. Rogers, do you think you are Captain America?" Qin Feng sneered.
"Qin Feng, what do you mean?" Jerry Rogers said.
"Nothing, I just want to say, at this price, do you think we are idiots?" Qin Feng curled his lips, "The fixed price is 200 million U.S. dollars. If you are willing, we will cooperate. If not, we will leave. Talk to AMD. I I believe that within 500 million, it will be no problem to win over AMD, which has far better prospects than yours."
Jerry Rogers frowned.
Lei Jun on the side frowned. He didn't understand why Qin Feng was so domineering and negotiated like this, leaving almost no room for the other party.
However, since Qin Feng did this, maybe Qin Feng had his reasons. Therefore, Lei Jun also kept quiet.
$200 million! This makes Jerry Rogers a little excited.
Indeed, the entire company is currently in decline and is no longer viable. The company has long been disillusioned. Although, production is still maintained. But everyone knows that it is difficult to sell the company's products.
No way, Intel is too powerful. Far more powerful than them. In particular, this powerful advantage will become stronger and stronger in the future.
In this case, its employees are disheartened. All are looking for a way out. Qin Feng's acquisition is indeed good.
Even after paying various compensations, the company will still be left with a lot of money.
"If you don't agree, I'll leave!" Qin Feng stood up directly.
"Hey, wait! Wait! Mr. Qin, I have never seen such a domineering negotiating technique like yours!" Jerry Rogers quickly pulled Qin Feng back.
"I don't have time to chat with you, 200 million,
To sell or not? If you sell it, I will find someone to sign a contract with you, and then package the relevant technology and production lines. If you don’t sell, I’ll leave! "Qin Feng said.
"Okay! Deal!" Jerry Rogers didn't dare to hesitate anymore and made the decision directly.
Qin Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, later, I will contact my lawyer to discuss the agreement." Qin Feng said, "He will arrive in about an hour."
"Then let's wait together!" Jerry Rogers was also in a good mood.
In any case, selling it for US$200 million is a good deal.
Actually, going forward, that's $167 million sold to VIA. But that was next year, early 1998.
Now that Qin Feng bought it more than half a year in advance, it was a good deal for a little more money. As for why the attitude is so strong, it also stems from the folk customs in Texas.
Texas has tough folk customs and is the state with the most guns. People in this state, you have to be strong when negotiating with them. Otherwise, you might get eaten by them. At that time, the price will be much higher.
Qin Feng is very satisfied with the price now.
Of course, there is another key point, that is, Qin Feng hopes to solve the problem quickly and cut through the mess quickly. Solve it before the U.S. Department of Commerce reacts.
After all, as far as this matter is concerned, although there is a high probability that the Ministry of Commerce will not pay attention to it. But what if the U.S. Department of Commerce makes things difficult. That would cause a lot of trouble.
After all, it was successfully sold to Baodao Weisheng Company without any sign of the Ministry of Commerce. But it does not mean that it will be successfully sold to China.
Discrimination against China is very popular in the United States.
An hour later, the lawyer arrived.
The two parties successfully signed the relevant agreement. Qin Feng obtained all the technical drawings and technical copyrights of Cyrix. At the same time, he also obtained the company's most important 0.18 micron production line.
This is the most valuable. It is also what China currently lacks the most.
In particular, this production line is currently the most advanced. At least, Pentium uses a wafer size of 0.35 microns.
The 0.18 micron process is relatively advanced, at least in terms of technology. After all, it’s hard to say whether Intel has something more advanced.
And more advanced technology means relatively faster speed, smaller heat generation, and lower energy consumption. This speed is restricted by other factors.
However, the calorific value and energy consumption are improved through process improvements.
0.18 microns is enough to create a cheaper, lower power consumption, and lower energy consumption consumer CPU. This is also what Qin Feng wants.
Afterwards, Qin Feng readily paid the cash. Of course, Qin Feng only paid half.
"The remaining half will be paid to you after we pack it on the ship and transport it away. But now, all we have to do is keep it secret!" Qin Feng said.
Compared with the acquisition of AMD, one of the greater benefits of acquiring Cyrix is that it is low-key. Because it conflicts with sparsely populated Texas, there are few high-tech companies here. As long as both parties do not announce this acquisition, no one will know about it.
This was also convenient, Qin Feng packed it up and returned home as soon as possible. Avoid, the U.S. Department of Commerce is looking for trouble. If this were AMD, I'm afraid the whole world would know about it with just a little action.
After all, Cyrix has long been a disliked CPU company in the United States.
