Chapter 508 China has microprocessing
After three long days of waiting, the presidents of the three companies "amd", "ati" and "VIA" gathered in Shanghai.
Three days ago, when the representatives of the three companies dared to go back overnight to show the plan to the president for review, the three companies immediately convened a board meeting. After three days of discussion and study, the three companies all agreed to the joint vertical and horizontal plan, so today
The presidents of the three companies rushed to Shanghai in person to discuss in detail with Lin Fenglai about issues such as share distribution and profit distribution.
"Welcome, welcome!" Lin Feng led Wu Zhaopu and others to greet the presidents of the three companies.
Ruiz, the current president of "amd" company, as well as company founder Jerry Sanders, "ati" president He Guoyuan, and "VIA" general manager Chen Wenqi (the president of VIA is his wife Wang Xuehong), all arrived in Shanghai. Fortunately, the presidents of the three companies
They all entered the country in a low-key manner, otherwise if they were caught by reporters, they would have caused a huge commotion.
"Mr. Lin, it's better to see him than to hear him a hundred times. He is so young and makes us jealous!" - He Guoyuan, CEO of "ati" sighed.
"Mr. Lin, you are really generous!" - Ruiz, the current president of "amd" company, also exclaimed. If this plan succeeds, I am afraid there will be a big earthquake in the industry, and the main competition between "amd" and "ati"
The opponent will definitely be very frightened. Thinking of "Intel"'s panic, Luerz wanted to laugh.
"Mr. Lin, it is true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. It seems that we, the waves ahead, will soon die on the beach." Chen Wenqi, general manager of VIA, said humorously.
Everyone burst out laughing.
However, although the atmosphere was good when everyone first met, once they entered the conference room and started discussing the merger, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. After all, this is related to the vital interests of each company, as one of Stephen Chow's senior brothers in "Shaolin Soccer" said
——I’m talking about hundreds of thousands per minute, and the one percentage point we’re talking about now is the distribution of hundreds of millions of dollars. In particular, the focus is, what is the market value of “Second World”? Both “amd” and “ati” are
Listed companies, "amd" has a current market value of US$7 billion, "ati" has a market value of US$2.5 billion, and what is the market value of "Second World"?
After repeated calculations and calculations by multiple evaluation companies, the market value of "Second World" was estimated at US$12 billion. Since the addition of computer genius Bruce Allen, "Second World" has a supercomputer, and the launch of "The King of Fighters Online",
With the launch of "Love Under the Sword: Loyalty to the Country", the market value of US$5 billion assessed by Forbes magazine half a year ago has doubled several times. The market value is US$12 billion, and has been recognized by the presidents of "amd" and "ati".
But there is another point that is more troublesome. "Cloud computing" belongs to Lin Feng personally, and the US$2.7 billion in cash also belongs to Lin Feng's personal assets. This is another headache for many parties.
After a long and arduous week of negotiations, a brand new super company covering games and hardware emerged. According to the agreement of the four parties, the three companies "Second World", "amd" and "ati" merged into one company, and the new company name remains
It is a "second world" new company that mainly develops and operates games and produces computer hardware.
The new "Second World" has two departments, the Game Development Department (formerly "Second World"), and the Hardware Development Department (formerly "amd" and "ati"). The shareholding ratio has finally been finalized.
"Second World" holds 41% of the shares, "amd" holds 28%, "ati" holds 10%, "Tencent" holds 1% with US$200 million in cash plus the right to purchase computers in public Internet cafes in South China, and VIA holds 1% of the shares.
About US$700 million was invested in VIA stock, holding 2% of the shares, and Lam Feng personally holds 18%.
The new "Second World" will become a new company with a market value of US$21.5 billion, involving game development, operations, computer CPU, graphics card, motherboard, flash memory and other hardware development, and the new company account will have US$3.2 billion in cash at its disposal.
.Although it is still not comparable to Intel's market capitalization of US$162 billion, everyone believes that this merger is bound to set off a strong reshuffle in the computer hardware industry.
Of course, after the merger of the three companies, the company's stock will definitely rise. Conservative estimates suggest that this "powerful combination" will increase its market value by about 30%.
As for the candidate for chairman, it is still Lin Feng. The reason is very simple. The original "Second World" holds 41% of the shares, and Lin Feng owns 56.49% of the original "Second World" shares. Converted into shares of the new company, including Lin Feng
Personal shareholding, Lin Feng will own 40.2% of the shares of the new "Second World". Far more than other shareholders, becoming the largest shareholder and well-deserved chairman. As for others, the largest individual shareholding is only
The new company will hold no more than 10% of the shares at most and cannot pose any threat to Lin Feng.
What's more, given Lin Feng's influence in the original "Second World", I believe that Lin Feng's words still have absolute authority for Wu Zhaopu and others. Counting the 41% shareholding ratio of the original "Second World", plus Lin Feng's personal 18
% shareholding ratio, the two parties together hold 59% of the shares, which is enough to determine everything in the new "Second World".
"Happy cooperation!" After a week of negotiations, we finally reached an agreement, and everyone felt relaxed.
After a night's rest, all the reporters were stunned when Lin Feng attended a press conference the next day with "amd" CEO Ruiz, "ati" president He Guoyuan, and "VIA" president Chen Wenqi.
When I received the notice yesterday that today "Second World" would hold a press conference that would change the pattern of the computer industry, many reporters were still wondering. After all, "Second World" is just a game company. It is really difficult to change the pattern of the computer industry.
It's a bit exaggerated. Of course, exaggeration is considered to give Lin Feng face. If the reporter doesn't give Lin Feng face, it would be described as a fool's dream.
However, when many reporters saw "amd" CEO Ruiz, "ati" president He Guoyuan, and "VIA" president Chen Wenqi appearing in Shanghai today, and "Tencent" chairman Ma Huateng was also among them, they felt a "thump" in their hearts.
Something big is going to happen.
When Lin Feng and others arrived at the press conference, there was a sudden silence. More than a hundred reporters looked at the five people and felt nervous. The appearance of these four people here was definitely not a symposium. Something important must have happened.
What big thing will happen? All the reporters held the pens in their hands tightly, feeling a little breathless, and their whole hearts seemed to be grasped by something. The hall was silent, only a "thump", "thump" powerful heartbeat could be heard.
.
"Everyone, thank you very much for coming. First of all, please allow me to introduce the three people around me. This is Mr. Luertz, the president of 'amd'. This is Mr. He Guoyuan, the president of 'ati'. This is Mr. He Guoyuan, the president of 'VIA'.
"General Manager Mr. Chen Wenqi, of course I don't need to introduce this person. I believe everyone knows Mr. Ma Huateng, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Tencent." Lin Feng introduced him one by one.
More than a hundred reporters were breathing more rapidly. Why did these five people appear here?
Lin Feng smiled.
"Everyone, in order to adapt to the development of the 21st century, several of our companies have discussed and finally decided to merge and form a brand new company. The new company will still be called 'Second World', and the original 'amd' and 'ati' will become the new ones."
The two hardware development departments of Second World, VIA and Tencent, are also new shareholders of Second World." When Lin Feng finished speaking, the scene was like a thunderous explosion.
More than a hundred reporters stood up involuntarily, their eyes widened, their mouths opened wide enough to put a goose egg in, and they looked like they had seen a ghost.
Lin Feng, Luerz and others looked at each other and smiled, but shook their heads helplessly. It seemed that the news was indeed too shocking, and it was so shocking that these reporters were frightened.
It took a full ten minutes for more than a hundred reporters to react. Suddenly, the entire press conference became a vegetable market. At this moment, more than a hundred reporters ignored any rules and raised their hands to ask questions frantically. Some even started talking.
The phone call passed the news back to the editorial office. Regardless of whether there was any content or not, the merger of these companies was a shocking news that would change the landscape of the computer industry. Indeed, the landscape of the computer industry was about to change, and it would be a big change.
"Director Lin, Director Lin, what is the shareholding ratio of the new 'Second World'?" A reporter couldn't help it and asked questions for a long time, but everyone was asking questions and there was a commotion. The reporter did not know how to get a
Loudspeaker, shout.
At this time, all the reporters reluctantly calmed down. They immediately laid out their notepads, gripped their pens, and prepared to record it. This is definitely the most concerning thing. What is the shareholding ratio of each company in the new "Second World"? Although from the new company's
Judging from the name, it seems that the "Second World" still holds the majority of the shares, but without getting the exact information from Lin Feng, no one dares to confirm. After all, if it is really the "Second World" that holds the majority of the shares, then
Many reporters know what it means.
"Haha, everyone, please calm down. Otherwise, I will not accept the interview and end today's press conference immediately. As usual, come one by one." Lin Feng asked many reporters to sit down.
After many reporters took their seats, Lin Feng explained with a smile.
"Everyone, the new 'Second World' shareholding ratio is 41% held by the original 'Second World' game software company, 28% held by the original "amd" microprocessor company, and 28% held by the original "ati" display chip company.
"Tencent Holdings" holds 1%, VIA holds 2%, and I personally hold 18%," Lin Feng explained with a smile.
Many reporters took a sharp breath after hearing this. Lin Feng personally holds 18% of the shares. Counting the shares held by the original "Second World", this means that Lin Feng has become the first shareholder of the new "Second World", and it is a matter of course.
chairman of the board.
What does this mean? It means that a Chinese becomes the president of one of the two largest CPU manufacturers in the world, and China also has its own processor company. This is incredible and amazing.
Immediately, this news was reported by many reporters. All domestic newspapers immediately added an issue to cover the merger event in full, and all headlines were unified - "China has its own microprocessor"
》.
When this news came out, the whole country was shocked, and the whole world was shocked! Everyone was stunned, thinking that this was a dream, but looking at the black and white words in the newspaper, it was certain that this was not a dream.
Chapter completed!
