Chapter 332 The strongest lineup ever in the computer field

"Du Jichuan has just established a small company called 'Kingston' in California, USA, to produce and develop dynamic random access equipment."

"He Guoyuan currently runs a graphics card company called 'ATI' in Canada. The performance is not bad. If you are interested, I can talk to him."

"Actually, there are several companies worth considering. They all have good technologies, but they are all in different troubles at this time. This is a good opportunity. Although MSI and Biostar are big in Taiwan, their technologies are available to the world.

Very average.”

"NexGen is a fabless semiconductor R&D company. Recently, their X86-compatible processor R&D has had problems. I heard that the big companies behind this company already want to give up."

"Cyrix, although this company has only been established for less than 2 years, it has great experience in floating-point processors. The 386 sub-processor they produced last year is the fastest on the market, 50% faster than Intel's 80387.

The key is that this company is small enough, with less than 50 members in total, so it is easy to acquire."

Shi Chongtang had already begun to play his role before he officially joined the Han Dynasty. Liu Zhiyuan smiled very happily when he heard these names that would be resounded throughout the world in later generations.

Jen-Hsun Huang, the founder of NVIDIA. After 2010, no one will be unfamiliar with the name NVIDIA. It is the world's largest graphics card chip manufacturer. It is said that its ecstatic "knife skills" can operate on mosquito legs. Who knows the name of Dr. Huang?

Of course, it’s all fun and games. In the final analysis, Huang Renxun is confident enough in Nvidia and his own market and channels. AMD next door can’t even compete with it.

Even people who don’t understand computers have probably heard that Kingston accounts for more than 70% of the global memory stick market. What an exaggeration. More than 70 of the memory sticks used by 100 people are from Kingston.

.

If anyone is unfamiliar with ATI, then AMD must be familiar with it. The world's second largest graphics card chip manufacturer, and Nvidia almost occupy the entire computer graphics card market.

For AMD to have a future status, ATI is crucial, because AMD's graphics card department can be said to be supported by ATI. The A-card of later generations actually not only describes AMD, but also ATI.

No matter how bad the evaluation of AMD's $5.4 billion acquisition of ATI was in the future, it was the most correct step for AMD at the time. Otherwise, it would have disappeared into the long river of history.

What's even more amazing is that He Guoyuan's ATI company also produces CPUs, and his CPUs are as famous as Intel. Although it cannot compete with Nvidia in the graphics card field and cannot beat Intel in the CPU industry, apart from these two companies, ATI has no rivals.

NexGen and Cyrix later declined and were acquired, but in the 1990s, they were also world-famous giant companies.

"I'm very, very interested in having dinner with the pioneers of these industries."

Liu Zhiyuan suppressed his excitement. This was Shi Chongtang's value. If he recruited these people in person, let alone whether he could recruit them, at least the price and energy spent would not be acceptable to him.

His Han Dynasty is not a computer company to the outside world, but a game development company. These are completely two fields. Even if he says that the focus of Han Dynasty in the future will be computers, there will definitely be a lot of twists and turns in the process.

But now, with just one word from Shi Chongtang, the dinner party was over. Everything was easy to talk about at the dinner table. He didn't need to waste any words. As long as he said that Shi Chongtang would be the main person in charge of the computer business of the Han Dynasty in the future, then

The difficulty of recruiting these people is directly reduced to a minimum.

In three days, Huang Renxun and others came to Taiwan one after another. This is the role of reputation. It is not Liu Zhiyuan's reputation, but Shi Chongtang's name. No matter how powerful Liu Zhiyuan is, it has nothing to do with their computer field.

On the first day, Huang Renxun and Du Jichuan joined the Han Dynasty, which made Liu Zhiyuan laugh so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. No matter what, the founder of the world's number one graphics card and memory stick has already joined the Han Dynasty.

Although they are still far from No. 1 at this time, Liu Zhiyuan believes that under the leadership of Shi Chongtang, with the help of Soviet technology, and with his forward thinking, the Han Dynasty's computer business will be a success, and he is confident that the Han Dynasty's computer business will be successful.

Dynasty's computers have been the world's top computer equipment from the moment they appeared in the public eye.

On the second and third days, the smile on Liu Zhiyuan's face began to diminish, and the acquisition of the other three companies reached a deadlock. Although NexGen and Cyrix both encountered corporate crises, it was obvious that their leaders did not want to let go.

He Guoyuan was not easy to talk to. After all, ATI was developing rapidly. On the fourth and fifth days, Liu Zhiyuan became impatient. It was not that he was impatient, but that the Han Dynasty could not do without him now.

On the sixth day, a turning point occurred. The giants behind NexGen heard the news about Han Dynasty's acquisition from somewhere, and they sold the company directly for US$60 million without the advice of NexGen's CEO.

There was no way, NexGen was a privately held company, and the CEO was a high-level wage earner. This made John Spier so angry that Liu Zhiyuan quickly recruited him.

NexGen's technology is very good, but for NexGen's future glory, it is obvious that the CEO also has a lot of credit. What he wants is talent, and he really doesn't care that much about the technology in front of him.

Promising a lot of benefits, John Spier finally decided to lead the original team to merge into the computer department of the Han Dynasty. This turn of events made Liu Zhiyuan change his acquisition ideas. Why did he insist on holding the absolute shares of the Han Dynasty? Isn't it because he was afraid of others?

People united and sold the Han Dynasty.

In this way, Cyrix was dismantled by him, with 78% of the shares costing only more than 50 million US dollars. Faced with this situation, Aaron Steve had no choice but to bow his head.

Liu Zhiyuan was not so happy after acquiring these two companies, because among these people, he valued He Guoyuan's ATI the most, unlike Huang Renxun and Du Jichuan who had just started.

It is not a company like NexGen that has limited development potential when it encounters a crisis. No one else knows what ATI is now, but he knows very clearly that in the early 1990s, ATI was the sole king in all aspects of the graphics card market.

This is a fully mature company. Whether it is technology or sales channels, acquiring it will bring countless benefits to the Han Dynasty. At least he will not have to worry about office computer channels.

"Ayuan, He Guoyuan is worth the original shares of the Han Dynasty."

When Liu Zhiyuan heard Shi Chongtang's words, he shook his head without thinking. He Guoyuan is very good, and ATI is even better, but they are not unique. Without ATI, he still has Huang Renxun and NexGen. With his funding and Soviet technology, Liu Zhiyuan shook his head.

With help, the CPU can't catch up.

There is nothing he can do about the channels. To put it bluntly, ATI is just the icing on the cake for the Han Dynasty, not a timely help. It is not worth the original shares of the Han Dynasty.
