Chapter 632: A Lot of Money, a Lot of Small Change
"Boss, you seem to be worried?" After returning to the residence, Nvidia's technical executives suddenly found that their boss's expression was a little strange.
Huang Renxun rubbed his temples, "OK, it's just because of the transfer and jet lag, I'm a little tired."
When his mind calmed down a little, he asked, "Do you think Jiuzhou Technology will agree to our cooperation this time?"
...
Everyone looked at each other, with worries between their brows.
Boss Huang waited for a while, and finally heard the head of the R&D of the core chip architecture of his own graphics card say: "In fact, I think if we are only willing to take out the architecture license and other things, Jiuzhou Technology will not be willing to exchange them with our equal conditions.
After we disassembled the chips in the Morningstar chip, Rocky X1 and Titan processor, although there were many self-destructions and damages, from the perspective of the hardware structure and various parameters at runtime, they already have more than one stable and mature chip architecture with perfect underlying logic.
Not to mention the Jiuzhou compiler and Jiuzhou industrial platform developed by Jiuzhou Technology, these two projects have demonstrated their technical strength to the fullest.
Technically, Jiuzhou Technology is not afraid of the architecture licensing issue at all, and from the perspective of funds, they have the full support of Daxia, and they certainly look down on our financial support. After all, 10 billion US dollars seems a lot, but it is divided into multiple phases..."
Just a technical person can see so many problems, Huang Renxun's heart sank again.
Nvidia's stock price has been cut in half. If it can't get on the Jiuzhou Technology ship this time, I'm afraid it will be too late to save the situation.
But this is the greatest sincerity the company can offer. If it is more, let alone whether the company's directors are willing or not, I am afraid that the relevant departments will not agree. After all, although Jiuzhou Technology does not look down on many technical cooperations, in the eyes of relevant departments, they are also world-class technologies and restricted technologies.
"It's a pity that we can only give money, alas." Boss Huang sighed, his heart empty.
The senior executives also looked at each other.
It is absolutely impossible to be without money, but at this time, money is the most useless.
Nvidia executives think so, AMD executives think so, and the boards of directors of Pingguo, Microsoft, and Google do the same.
The money is given generously, hundreds of millions of dollars are given out like sheets of A4 paper, but they are stingy with their own technology and channels, and they are anxious and regretful about it.
But there is no way. If you give technology and channels, it will be commercial cooperation, and the relevant departments will definitely intervene, and then you may not be able to get peace on both sides.
Technology companies least want to make money like the military-industrial complex. There is too much gunpowder, and making money is not stable and lasting.
But they didn't know that in a building in Jiuzhou Community.
"Pingguo Company's 20 billion US dollars, divided into five years, 3 billion US dollars in the first year."
"AMD's 28 billion US dollars, divided into eight years, 2.5 billion US dollars in the first year."
"Microsoft's 31 billion US dollars, divided into nine years, 5 billion US dollars in the first year."
Several assistants in the President's Office looked at the statistical data, their faces numb.
Although the US dollar is not as valuable as it was more than a decade ago due to the quantitative easing monetary policy, these tens of billions of figures are still astronomical figures, and any fraction of them is enough for ordinary people to struggle for several eras.
Flipping through the pages, someone saw Nvidia's sincerity: "Nvidia's 45 billion US dollars, divided into ten years, 5 billion US dollars in the first year~"
This is the first company to take out more than 40 billion US dollars. Although the first year gave less, the total amount "won the championship".
Even this number alarmed Boss Gu.
After doing a rough addition, the young boss Gu suddenly realized that if he lay flat, he would not care about the total amount of tens of billions of pie-in-the-sky. Just the money that must be paid in the first year, these well-known big companies add up to more than 20 billion US dollars, about more than 100 billion Xia Yuan...
But this number is just for fun. All the companies that pay more money basically expressed their desire to be exclusive licensees or exclusive agents, and they also asked for a lot of technology. They are the kind of people who are smart and the money is just right, or even a little short.
Gu Qing narrowed his eyes and looked at these numbers. Suddenly, a bad idea came to his mind. Since the outside world cares so much about this cooperation, why not let everyone participate in bidding and bargaining?
He did it as soon as he thought of it. He awakened Xuanwu.
"Xuanwu, modify these figures and some cooperation intentions slightly and post them on the Internet, so that netizens around the world can judge whether we are making a profit or a loss?
Remember, it is best to post them as relatives of the company's senior executives or core members and backbones of the project team. Some highly confidential information does not need to be posted, so that netizens can think and explore more."
As a mature artificial intelligence, Xuanwu naturally does not need Gu Qing to teach him how to choose words and sentences.
Just three seconds later, Xuanwu submitted several action plans and speech templates, from forum revelations to chat bragging and leaking documents from the project team's internal symposium, and other channels were arranged in an orderly manner. Even considering not favoring one over the other and causing suspicion, the words that Gu Qing said in the conference room were also posted.
Seeing that he was described as a patriotic young boss, Gu Qing shook his head and said, "If patriotism is wrong, then what kind of person is it? Just post it like this."
"Okay, sir." Xuanwu's response is always so mechanical, but it is very flexible in doing things. Within just five minutes, some senior divers in professional forums started posting messages with exaggerated titles.
"OH, are trillion dollar projects coming?" ", "Enterprises led by Pingguo and NVIDIA are participating in a trillion-dollar super business project", "My company is crazy and I want to resign"...
These titles attracted many industry personnel to click and read, and were subsequently reproduced in various screenshots.
A silly picture can spread all over the world within an hour, so what the four words trillions of dollars represent is even more difficult to ignore.
What the financial industry is looking at is this year's quantitative easing. The Federal Reserve is raising interest rates and shrinking its balance sheet. The global economy and finance are in violent fluctuations. The sudden trillion-dollar project represents another plunder of the U.S. dollar hegemony or a blow to the manufacturing industry. What about another blood transfusion?
Global strategic analysts at Societe Generale expressed concern about the so-called trillion-dollar project formed by so many companies:
"We have never seen such a large-scale weaponization of currency. This is a turning point in the history of currency: it may bring about the end of the old world currency and the acceleration of the bipolar monetary order."
