Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 354 Intel

the next morning.

Lin Baicheng brought Qin Lan, Isabella, lawyers, bodyguards and a lot of people to join the Goldman Sachs team headed by Wade Thomas, and the two sides went to Santa Clara together.

Santa Clara County is actually one of the components of Silicon Valley, where Intel is headquartered.

After several hours of driving, a group of people came to Intel.

Intel was founded in 1968 by Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, then joined by Andy Grove, currently Gordon Moore is the company's second CEO.

Gordon Moore, the name alone will be unfamiliar to many people, but when it comes to the words "Moore's Law", I believe many people have heard of it, and the inventor of this law is Gordon Moore , one of the founders of Intel.

This time it involved a transaction of 8100 million US dollars, so Gordon Moore, the CEO of Intel, personally entertained Lin Baicheng and the others.

Intel in 1978 was not Intel after the 21st century. Today, Intel’s annual revenue is less than [-] million U.S. dollars. Although the high-tech industry has high profits, Intel’s annual profit should be around [-] million U.S. dollars, but the investment in the high-tech industry is also high. high.

It is precisely because of the high investment that after Intel develops more advanced technologies, if it wants to produce products and put them on the market, it needs a lot of capital investment, so Intel chooses to sell the previous generation of technology.

The negotiation of the transaction between the two parties has been completed. Before the formal transaction, it is only necessary for Lin Baicheng's team to confirm that there are no problems with the technology and patents before signing. However, the inspection will take some time.

Wade Thomas introduced Lin Baicheng and Gordon Moore to each other.

Although Lin Baicheng acquired Intel's technology, Gordon Moore did not regard Lin Baicheng and his company as competitors at all. Therefore, when the two were communicating, Gordon Moore even said that as long as Lin Baicheng's production line was put into operation, the production of If the products meet Intel's quality standards, then Intel can consider placing some orders with Lin Baicheng's company.

In Gordon Moore's heart, Lin Baicheng's company is regarded as a backup foundry.Intel's latest technology has completed research and development, and with the funds obtained from the transfer of technology, it will soon be put into production and then put into the market.

What Intel does is the central processing unit, that is, the CPU, and what it sells to Lin Baicheng is the memory chip technology, and the two are different.Generally speaking, if the CPU is compared to the heart of the entire system, then the memory chip is the trunk of the body, and the memory chip serves the CPU.

In addition to the application of memory chip technology in memory, as long as you are willing to invest funds in research and development, you can also develop CPUs, but the investment and time will not be less.

Intel has completed the research and development of the technology named 8088 processor, and the funds obtained from the transfer to Lin Baicheng Technology are to invest in the production of this product, and put it on the market after the product comes out.

In this way, the production volume of Intel's previous generation products will naturally decrease, but the market for the previous generation products will not disappear immediately. It will take time for new products to be banned, and during this process, the previous generation products can still make money.

However, Intel will inevitably increase investment in new products and reduce investment in previous-generation products, no matter which company it is.But if there is a foundry, it will be different. You can let the foundry produce the components of the previous generation of products, and keep the key technologies for assembly. This can save time and investment, but can make a lot of money.

It can be said that after a high-tech company develops to a certain level, it usually needs a foundry, because the existence of a foundry can allow the company to obtain higher profits.

It is for this reason that Gordon Moore regards Lin Baicheng's company as Intel's backup foundry in his heart.

Lin Baicheng naturally expressed his gratitude. Intel did not regard his company as an opponent, which is not harmful to him, but whether he wants to be Intel's foundry depends on whether his factory is busy or not.

The reason why Lin Baicheng is willing to acquire Intel's memory chip technology when he has a complete set of integrated circuit technology from Texas Instruments is because Intel's memory technology is more advanced. Possessing relevant technologies not only does not have to worry about price increases due to hot sales, but also reduces costs.

If possible, Lin Baicheng also plans to take the display panel technology into his own hands.Not only to prevent relevant manufacturers from raising prices, but also to invest in research and development of better and more advanced technologies, so that the products produced in this way will have stronger market competitiveness.

"Alan, happy cooperation!" "Mr. Moore, happy cooperation!"

Time passed, and after the team confirmed that there were no problems with the contract and technology, Lin Baicheng and Gordon Moore each signed the contract and completed the transaction.

After signing the contract, Lin Baicheng and his team left Intel after the funds in the Goldman Sachs account were transferred to Intel.

Lin Baicheng, Isabella, Qin Lan and Wade Thomas sat on the extended Lincoln.

Wade Thomas asked aloud: "Allen, are you going directly to Texas, or go back to Los Angeles first?"

"Of course I'm going back to Los Angeles first."

Lin Baicheng said: "Tomorrow we will take a plane to Texas and head to Dallas where Texas Instruments is headquartered."

"Alright."

Wade Thomas nodded, then asked, "Allen, do you want to stay in Los Angeles for Christmas this time?"

"This time I will go back after Christmas."

Lin Baicheng nodded when he heard the words. After signing the acquisition contract with Texas Instruments, he will also visit several companies under his name.

"If you have time, Alan, you can go to Zhonghe Game Company to have a look and give pointers to the developers."

Wade Thomas said that he is very concerned about this company because he has shares in the company.

"Don't worry, after I finish my work, I will go to see how the development of "Western Cowboy" is going."

Lin Baicheng also invested in this company, and he came up with the idea. He will definitely take care of it when he has time, but relatively speaking, he is more concerned about his company.

It was already night when the group returned to Los Angeles. Wade Thomas left with his people. After Lin Baicheng sent Isabella back, he went back to his villa in Beverly Hills.

Haruko Mori had come back from get off work and was watching TV in the lobby.Since she came to the United States to work, she has been living here, and Lin Baicheng has taken a tacit attitude towards this.
