Chapter 386 Investing in Intel

Yi Weidong said with a smile: "This is also possible. I can invest in Xiangjiang's production base myself, and then sign an agreement with the company to accept commissioned production. This will reduce the financial pressure on Intel and allow more resources to be invested in the design. .”

Intel also only has one production line, and it is impossible to stop production and move to Xiangjiang now. It is best for Yi Weidong to invest in a production line first, and then commission it after commissioning and production to reduce production costs. Mind to buy the old production line of Intel, this matter is too complicated and can't be negotiated at this time.

Arthur Locke said: "Do you want to entrust production and investment? I'm going to hold a board meeting to discuss. If you don't accept investment and shareholding, do you still want to buy a set of production equipment?"

At this time, it seems that there is no hope for Xiangjiang to return to the mainland, and the export production line does not have any political problems.

At this point in time, many companies have integrated circuit production capabilities, and a large number of companies such as Intel, HP, Motorola, and Fairchild have chip production lines.

Yi Weidong said: "Whether I accept investment or not, I hope to buy a chip production line, and entering the integrated circuit market is also one of my goals."

Yi Weidong is not worried that Intel will reject Yi Weidong's investment if it sells the production line. Now that Intel is still very weak, as an enemy, Yi Weidong also has the means to put eye drops on Intel.

Besides, there are also integrated circuits in TVs now, the market is vast, and Intel is not in a competitive relationship.

Arthur Locke said: "We can hold a board meeting in the afternoon to discuss the matter of buying shares, and I will give you a result tomorrow at the latest. No matter what the result is, there is no problem selling you a production line."

Yi Weidong was very satisfied with the result, and being able to buy the production line was the best news; "Okay, I look forward to your good news."

Arthur Rock took Yi Weidong and Mi Xiaozhou to visit the office, met the chief operating officer Gordon Moore, and some other employees, and went to the chip factory not far away. At this time, Intel only had one production line. In addition to the production of the first product 3010 bipolar random access memory, it also produces some integrated circuits, memory and other chips.

At noon, I had a working meal with Arthur Rock and Gordon Moore. During the coffee break, Yi Weidong mentioned that he had a patent for a liquid crystal panel. By the way, he asked whether it could be equipped with a chip to make a small electronic calculator. .

Yi Weidong took out a liquid crystal panel from his pocket and talked about the design of his electronic quartz watch. Perhaps in the morning, Arthur Rock only regarded Yi Weidong as a rich inventor, and had nothing to do with semiconductors. Now there is a liquid crystal panel The invention of the invention has something to do with Intel.

Now Intel is not a pure chip manufacturer, but now it is a semiconductor company. It is also a good business to design a chip for an electronic computer using a liquid crystal panel. The investment of Arthur Locke and Gordon Moore in Yi Weidong Start paying attention from the heart.

Arthur Locke said with a smile: "Yi, your invention is amazing. It is obvious that the portable electronic computer produced by replacing the TV screen with an LCD panel is definitely an epoch-making product."

It's not like there are no electronic calculators now, they are similar to computers, using TVs as display screens, huge and clumsy, merchants who can't afford such calculators use a mechanical calculator, the internal structure is very complicated, but it is also Can add, subtract, multiply and divide.

Gordon Moore: "It is indeed an epoch-making product. Every sales manager needs it, as well as company accountants, salespersons in shopping malls, warehouse management, etc. Oh! My God, this market is so broad."

Arthur Locke asked suddenly: "Yi, do you have any idea of ​​selling the patent of this liquid crystal panel?"

Yi Weidong said: "I think it's a better idea to cooperate in research and production together, don't you think?"

You can’t sell patents. Besides, Intel doesn’t have much money. LCD panels are widely used, electronic watches, calculators, and handheld game consoles. Each of them can bring hundreds of millions of dollars to Yi Weidong. The basis of income is the LCD panel, which is a huge gold mine, compared to ballpoint pens.

Arthur Rock was disappointed that he couldn't buy the patent, but redesigning a readable and writable RAM chip was simple.

Because of the readable and writable characteristics, data can be temporarily stored, and it supports LCD panel display, and there is no need for long-term storage, and the cost of the chip is not much.

Said: "Then how do you want to cooperate?"

Yi Weidong said: "I can ask your company to design and produce chips with an advance payment. The patent rights belong to me, and then your company will produce chips safely."

The current business of Intel Corporation is like this. It accepts the entrusted design of other semiconductor companies and produces chips on its behalf. Yi Weidong has now changed from an investor to a customer of Intel.

Yi Weidong knew that the first 4004 processor produced by Intel was that Busicom paid Intel $60000 to obtain the ownership of the microprocessor. Busicom bought the ownership of 60000 and sold it for $4004 each.

The calculator processor is simpler, not to mention that it is two years earlier than the development of 4004, and the calculator chip can be obtained for only 2-2.

Chief Operating Officer Gordon Moore put down his coffee cup and said: "Our company is in this business, and we can accept your development and production of this calculator chip. We can initial an agreement. After making some business budgets, I will I am giving you a design quotation and the price of the chip."

By the way, Yi Weidong also commissioned Gordon Moore to develop the problem of converting the quartz movement into an LCD display. This is even simpler, and Gordon Moore directly agreed.

After discussing some specific details, he took his leave and got back in the car. Mi Xiaozhou couldn't help asking: "Boss, I see that Intel only has one complete production line. Why do you want to buy a production line from them? No." Will it just dismantle this production line and give it to us?"

"Did you think they would do that?"

"Then why are you still looking for them to buy new ones?"

Yi Weidong said: "There is no company that sells brand-new production lines. With the experience of purchasing production lines, Intel repurchased instruments to form a production line for us. Although we made some money, we saved purchasing time and adjustments. In order to solve a series of problems such as school and production technology, we spent more money to buy masters to teach us production by hand. Do you understand now?"

If you don’t buy it from Intel, you have to go to other companies such as Texas Instruments or Motorola to buy it, which is similar. As long as you get this production line, Yi Weidong will directly copy ten or eight of them, and you will become a big boss in semiconductor manufacturing. .

If there is space in hand, it is also possible to directly copy the chip, and the chip is the most profitable business.

"Boss, you still think far, so where are we going now?"

"Of course, I will open a room in a hotel in San Jose, and I will see the results of the investment tomorrow."

There are two entrusted businesses, as well as the business of purchasing a production line, with two bonuses, most of this investment can be successful. Think about the shortcut to get rich quickly by investing directly by yourself.

Mi Xiaozhou pouted and said, "There are two rooms."

After speaking, he glared at Yi Weidong.

The mood suddenly became bad, didn't it just hold the little hand a few times, why didn't the most basic trust exist?

After driving to San Jose and finding the best hotel, Mi Xiaozhou took the lead and said:

"Please open two suites."

I really feel sorry for this little secretary.

I went to the room to put down my luggage, called Mi Xiaozhou, bought some food and put it in the car.

Mi Xiaozhou asked in a low voice, "Where do you want to go?"

San Jose is very small, so Yi Weidong said, "There is a national forest park in the west, let's go and see it."

Mi Xiaozhou suddenly resisted, looking at the snacks, could it be that he wants to spend the night there?

I was relieved until I saw that there was no tent on the back seat. I think I will come back to stay, right?
After entering the park, the air is obviously fresher. There are tall trees on both sides of the road, which are not artificially planted and retain their original appearance.

Numerous birds shuttle through the woods, and occasionally small squirrels, deer and other animals can be seen.

Driving into a side road, stopped on a relatively open grassland, took a piece of cloth and spread it on the ground, Yi Weidong shouted: "Bring the snacks, let's rest for a while."

Mi Xiaozhou hesitated to bring the snacks and Coke and put them in the middle before sitting on the cloth. Yi Weidong picked up a bear biscuit and ate it.

Asked about Mi Xiaozhou's school experience, Mi Xiaozhou also ate snacks and drank Coke, chatting.

Not long after, the aroma of biscuits and small cakes attracted a little squirrel, who stood not far away and looked at the two of them. Mi Xiaozhou became childish and threw the biscuit to the squirrel, but the little squirrel didn't pick it up quickly. The biscuit goes into the mouth.

After losing it two or three times in a row, the little squirrel was much bolder, and went to Mi Xiaozhou, picked up the biscuit from his hand and put it in his mouth.

After a while, the little squirrel might have had enough to eat, so he turned around and ran away. Mi Xiaozhou looked regretful and wanted to stroke the fluffy tail, but his wish was in vain.

Disappointed: "Such a cute little squirrel, I really want to take it home."

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Is it braised in red or spicy."

Braised or spicy?I just want to hug it back and raise it: "Boss, you are dead, the little squirrel is so cute, why are you willing to eat it?"

After speaking, Mi Xiaozhou realized how the boss had sat beside him unknowingly. Just as he was about to ask the boss to sit over, his little hand was placed in the big one to play with.

Shocked, I didn't know what to say, I lowered my head shyly, not daring to look at Yi Weidong.

Yi Weidong squeezed his soft little hands, and then embraced Mi Xiaozhou's slender waist.

Mi Xiaozhou's body was a little stiff, and he didn't dare to move, but his head was lowered even more, almost touching his bent knees.

Yi Weidong clearly felt the tight muscles under the delicate skin.

After putting down his small hand, Mi Xiaozhou obviously felt a little loose, and his slender waist regained its softness, full of sensuality.

Yi Weidong exerted a little force, and Mi Xiaozhou leaned over Yi Weidong's shoulder.

Gently pinching Mi Xiaozhou's chin with his free hand, he turned his pretty face down to face him.

Mi Xiaozhou opened his eyes wide and looked at Weidong without blinking.

Wei Dong went to hold the shoulder again, wanting to get closer.

Mi Xiaozhou raised his hands against Weidong's chest, trying to stop the two from approaching.

Yi Weidong used a little force to get closer, but Mi Xiaozhou could only tilt his head back.

Weidong went to kiss directly, while Xiaozhou hid left and right.

Wei Dong's hand moved up, palming Xiao Zhou's neck.

Xiaozhou's room for movement was greatly reduced, so he could only tilt his head and turn his face to the side.

Wei Dong kissed directly on the cheek.

Xiao Zhou's body was stiff and he didn't move.
His face was pricked by the beard, and it was a little itchy. Since he was sensible, he had never been so intimate with a boy.

I was a little flustered and upset, and I still had some expectations in my heart. I didn't know if I should get up and leave.

Although the boss who is young and rich has appeared in his dreams and did some shy things, but that is just the fantasy of every young girl, who doesn't have a prince charming in his heart!

After reading Xi Juan's novels, he would always think wildly, but when Wei Dong really put his arms around him and kissed him on the cheek, he didn't know whether he was happy or wanted to run away.

The short beard brushed against his face, smelling the warm masculine breath, Xiaozhou's little courage was exhausted, he closed his eyes, no longer wanted to be an ostrich, and once he buried his head, he didn't care about anything.

Weidong soon came to the target, the small sip of cherry was pink and tender, with a light fragrance.

Xiao Zhou began to dodge again, just like the little squirrel just now, who was attracted and dared not approach.

First stay away.

Then slowly approach.

Finally got up close.

Only after a few times of contact, did he lose that kind of vigilance and started the next contact.

Xiaozhou's soft body stiffened again, but there was no resistance.

Wei Dong knew that he could eat millet porridge today, and he was very proud. Being a monk is not a good feeling,

Hugging the young and beautiful girl every day in Los Angeles has already filled my heart with fire, but the two are small green apples, which are far from the time to pick them.

It will take another two years to mature, and it will not be too late to pick them again.

On the other hand, millet porridge is different. After finishing high school and going to junior college, the greenness has already faded, and it is the moment when it is just ripe and ready to be picked.

At this time, the sound of a car suddenly came from a distance. Mi Xiaozhou regained some strength, opened his eyes and struggled away, stood up quickly and said: "You know how to bully me."

Then, without looking back, he got into the co-pilot of the car.

The roar of the car gradually became louder, and it passed by the road soon. In fact, there were some bushes blocking the line of sight, and the figure of the car could not be seen at all. Unfortunately, Mi Xiaozhou was frightened and had no more chances just now.

Leaving the unfinished biscuits and cakes on the ground, Weidong put away the coke can and cloth and threw them on the back seat.

Get in the car and say: "Hungry, let's have millet porridge tonight."

Mi Xiaozhou was surprised: "There are Chinese restaurants in San Francisco, and does San Jose also sell millet porridge?"

Wei Dong tilted his head and repeated: "Drink millet porridge."

Only then did Xiaozhou realize that his name was reversed and it became millet porridge. Those mischievous classmates at school would also call it that, so he forgot?
Couldn't help but pat Wei Dong with his hands: "If you hate it, you know how to bully me."

I didn't mention what happened just now, so I just pretended it didn't happen. Mi Xiaozhou knew his position in his heart, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although he didn't take the last step, could he still escape from Weidong's grasp? ?

Yi Weidong held his little hand and said with a smile, "I love you so much, why am I bullying you?"

Mi Xiaozhou couldn't help but shed tears: "You just bullied me, obviously you still provoke me."

Weidong crossed the center console, picked up Xiaozhou and put it on his lap, raised his drooping head, and stuck out his tongue to roll up the tears: "Why is it salty?"

Mi Xiaozhou burst into laughter: "Of course tears are salty."

After laughing, I realized that I was crying just now, so why was I amused.

Yi Weidong wiped away the rest of the tears: "I'm in my 20s, crying and laughing like a child, remember to call me brother in the future."

"Hate it, whose brother are you?"

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Of course I'm your brother."

Xiaozhou curled his lips, he couldn't say anything when he was older, and the millet porridge would be eaten, so what does it matter if he is called brother or not?
Sweetly whispered: "Brother."

Then shyly buried his head in Weidong's neck and couldn't lift it up.

Yi Weidong laughed heartily, it wouldn't be good to find another older sister to take in, it's better to have an obedient younger sister.

Provoking Xiaozhou's head again, a pair of big watery eyes blinked, eyes full of affection, red clouds covered the fair face, small cherry mouth slightly opened, small lilac behind the white teeth.

After tidying up, Wei Dong hugged Xiaozhou lightly:

"We should go back to dinner."

Mi Xiaozhou also lost some shyness, and said, "I want to eat steak and watch a movie."

Yi Weidong smiled: "Okay, all of your requirements are met, and finally we will have millet porridge."

Xiaozhou clenched his small fist and hammered Weidong's chest: "I hate it, it's necrotic."

"Men are not bad, women are not loving, this is the eternal truth."

Only now did Mi Xiaozhou have time to tidy up his clothes, button them up, and said, "You can talk nonsense, who likes big villains."

Wei Dong just looked at the infinite spring, and didn't tell Xiao Zhou apart, so he asked, "Didn't you help the family before? Why is your skin so white?"

Wei Dong hugged him around his waist, sniffing the girl's unique fragrance from Xiaozhou's body, he really wanted to keep hugging like this.

Xiaozhou tidied up his clothes, opened Weidong's arm and asked, "Do you drive the car or I?"

"Of course I'm driving."

Yi Weidong picked up Xiaozhou, got back to the driver's seat, turned the key and turned on the ignition, and went down the hill to the city of San Jose.

After walking around, he chose a clean-looking western restaurant. After ordering, Mi Xiaozhou just bowed his head in silence, and Yi Weidong only answered a few words after asking a few questions.

Wei Dong asked: "Shall I buy you a farm?"

Mi Xiaozhou shook his head: "No."

"Where can I buy you a building in Xiangjiang?"

Mi Xiaozhou pouted and looked at Weidong: "I don't want it."

Yi Weidong scratched his head, it seems that some things should be arranged by himself, and it will be fine to put them directly under Xiaozhou's name.

"I can't say no to things in the future, you know?"

Mi Xiaozhou cast a glance, lowered his head and silently cut the steak with a knife. He used so much force that the plate sizzled, and the beef was cut into very small pieces, as if he wanted to cut two pieces from someone's body. Like a piece of meat.

Yi Weidong also twitched the corners of his mouth, although he didn't eat and wipe it off, it was almost the same, and Xiaozhou fell into his hands and didn't run away. He didn't promise anything, and it's normal to have some resentment in his heart.

After eating, Mi Xiaozhou paid the bill, and now Xiaozhou takes care of all the chores when they go out together, Wei Dong has long been acting like an old man.

Then I went to a movie theater to buy tickets and watched a movie. It was a movie about cowboys in the west, full of violence and brutality, and of course there were some pornographic scenes.

Wei Dong watched it with gusto, while Xiao Zhou evasively wanted to see it but dared not.

When the movie ended and went straight back to the hotel, Mi Xiaozhou wanted to separate and enter his room, but Yi Weidong dragged his arm into his room: "You come in, I have something to tell you."

Xiaozhou was a little flustered, could there be anything else but he wanted to continue playing hooligans, but did he still have a choice?

Weidong first sat on the sofa with Xiaozhou in his arms, continuing his unfinished work in the afternoon.

A pot of flowers was placed on the windowsill, and a few small pink flowers bloomed.

The bedroom is lively and fragrant, and the room is full of spring, and it seems that even the flowers are particularly bright.

……

Half an hour later, Wei Dong finally felt refreshed and comfortable.

Mi Xiaozhou lay on his side on the bed, covered with a quilt, secretly sad.

Tears flowed silently from the corners of his eyes, as if he had lost the most precious thing in the world.

After Wei Dong changed into his pajamas and came out: "Don't make the bed, let's go to that room to rest."

When he woke up in the morning, it was already past 8 o'clock. Just as he was about to get up, Wei Dong said, "I'll get someone to bring you what you want to eat."

When Mi Xiaozhou moved a little, he felt burning pain. Weidong carried him into the bathroom knowingly and wanted to help apply some wound medicine, but was driven out by the blushing Xiaozhou. He was carried out again after cleaning up.

Called for breakfast, only milk, bread, bacon and other food.

After dinner, the two of them leaned on the bedside and talked intimately. Weidong occasionally asked some private topics, such as whether there was a boy he liked when he was in school, whether he had received flowers, etc.

Xiaozhou said angrily: "You think other people are like you. I was the most well-behaved when I was in school. I could even become popular when I talked to boys."

"Really? Let me see if I'm blushing now?"

"Big villain, you know how to bully me."

Buried in Weidong's arms, he was unwilling to raise his head.

In the middle of the morning, at Weidong's insistence, he applied the medicine himself. Xiaozhou could only cover his head with a pillow and let Weidong check.

"It's much better, there is no problem at noon."

Sure enough, there was no problem for Mi Xiaozhou to walk down the ground before noon. We had lunch and coffee together before coming to Intel again.

This time, the blonde at the front desk was much more enthusiastic. She came to Arthur Locke's office, drank coffee and chatted about investment after some greetings.

Arthur Locke smiled and said, "Yi, we held a board meeting yesterday and agreed in principle to your investment, and there is no problem with the cooperation." '

Hearing the good news that I can become a shareholder, I will have a perfect start in the layout of semiconductors. Now the chip technology is 10 microns, and I can directly produce the most advanced integrated circuits when I return to Xiangjiang.

"Great, how many shares can I buy?"

Of course, Yi Weidong wanted as many shares as possible, but unfortunately, Arthur Locke only gave me 10 points of shares, and he didn't want to give me a board seat.

First, the company was valued. Last year, it invested 250 million US dollars, and now it is developing very well. However, Yi Weidong still generously gave a valuation of 1000 million. He exchanged 100 million US dollars for 10% of the equity. All very satisfied.

This is a chip company worth more than 2000 billion U.S. dollars. Buying [-] points of equity is a good start, and there will be opportunities for additional investment in the future.

It's a pity that I don't want to give more shares now, otherwise Wei Dong would be willing to buy this company.

As for the seats on the board of directors, Yi Weidong fought hard according to reason. After friendly negotiation, one seat can be given, but an agreement of persons acting in concert must be signed, and then there was a disagreement over the number of years. Finally, a ten-year agreement was signed. Yi Wei Dong also asked the signer to have priority when expanding shares so as to keep his shares from being diluted.

Ten points of equity is not too much, Arthur Locke agreed after thinking for a while, signing this agreement means that every time the total share capital changes, Yi Weidong has the priority to make additional investment to ensure that Yi Weidong It has always been a 10% stake.

After discussing the shareholding and investment and the seat of the board of directors, other matters are in the minutiae. First, the general framework is negotiated, and a lawyer is required to draft the agreement.

Yi Weidong used the investment company under Xiayue Holdings to hold the equity, and Qin Xiayue also took the board seat.

It was confirmed that Qin Xiayue was Yi Weidong's agent, and the matter was passed directly.

Yi Weidong has the power of attorney signed by Qin Xiayue in his hand, he can directly sign the agreement on his behalf, agreeing to formally sign the agreement the next day, and then it will be Yi Weidong's entrusted development business.

Yi Weidong added the function of voice broadcast, this voice function is only incidental, and the development can be delayed.

The chip development quotation for electronic watches and electronic calculators was 2.8 US dollars, and Yi Weidong happily paid [-]% of the deposit. As for the price of the chip after research and development, it will be discussed later.

Then there is the matter of buying a chip production line. After some bargaining, the price of 150 million US dollars includes the entire 10-micron process production line plus the packaged price of adjustments and transfer of related production technologies.

That is what Yi Weidong said about buying a production line and hiring a master to teach and organize a meeting.

As for whether to let Yi Weidong do OEM in the future, we have to wait until it goes into production. It is just a verbal agreement that as long as it is cheap, we will commission production.

As for whether the 150 million US dollars is expensive or not, Yi Weidong doesn't care, as long as he can buy it smoothly.

With the production line, Yi Weidong can find a way to copy directly by himself, and the production cost can be reduced infinitely, and then seize the production of OEM, without worrying about no business in the future.

After talking about everything, an appointment was made to sign the agreement at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Yi Weidong bid farewell, and Arthur Locke kindly sent him out of the gate.
