That afternoon, Schneider took Changtian Technology’s motherboard, took a plane to California, and returned to AMD’s headquarters.
Without any delay, Schneider immediately reported the matter to AMD President Gervin.
During this time, Gervin was also very depressed.
AMD's technology is inherently inferior to Intel's, and its sales are certainly much lower.
In the past few years, AMD has been trying to catch up with Intel, so it has launched the 3000+ series of chips in these years.
I originally thought I could compete with Intel's Pentium 31, but I didn't know that Intel changed hands and launched Pentium 4.
The gap between the two widened instantly.
During this period of time, the Computer Association of the United States and the Semiconductor Association of the United States have been encircling and suppressing Changtian Technology. In fact, Gervin did not care at all.
Because the survival of Changtian Technology has nothing to do with AMD. Instead, the motherboards newly developed by various motherboard manufacturers all support Pentium 4 processors, which is a big disadvantage for AMD.
When Schneider placed Changtian Technology's motherboard in front of Gervin, Gervin vaguely grasped some information.
Without hesitation, he immediately asked the staff from the technical department to pull the motherboard out for testing.
The test results came out quickly.
Changtian Technology independently designed this motherboard, and its related chipsets and motherboard components are all designed and produced by Changtian Technology alone. No parts are purchased from the United States or other regions.
This test result surprised Gervin.
A company from Xia State actually has such technical capabilities. Changtian Technology cannot be underestimated.
Looking at the motherboard, look at the piece of carbon crystal memory mounted on the motherboard.
Gervin's heart beat faster, maybe he could really reach a cooperation with Changtian Technology.
In this way, we can take care of the motherboard companies controlled by the American Semiconductor Association and break the current deadlock.
And AMD believes that as a chip company in the PC industry, it still has half of the say in the chip industry.
As long as Changtian Technology can cooperate with itself, all the unfavorable conclusions made by the Semiconductor Association against Changtian Technology will be terminated.
Protect the semiconductor interests of the United States?
I'm really sorry, even if we want to safeguard the interests of National Semiconductor, we must first ensure that AMD can survive.
According to Intel's approach, AMD's market share will shrink further, and it will no longer be able to survive, so what interests can it maintain?
Thinking like this, Gervin still has not completely made up his mind. He is still waiting for an opportunity. He hopes to find a partner. AMD does not want to go it alone.
Chen Xiao had already calculated what Ge Wen was thinking about.
Wang Xiang was not idle during this period. After repeated market research, he found Dell.
And proposed a cooperation agreement with Dell.
When meeting with Eric, the manager of Dell's marketing department, through an intermediary, Wang Xiang directly followed Chen Xiao's instructions and presented a bright future that could be seen.
Wang Xiang said: "The United States only has 300 million people, but there are more than 5 billion people in the world, including 1.2 billion people in Xia and 700 million people in Europe. There are definitely more computer users than in the United States."
"Dell is a global company, and its profits are definitely not limited to the United States. Whether it is the Semiconductor Association or the Computer Association, it is after all a relevant industry association in the United States, not a global industry association.
It cannot truly lead a global industry."
"Dell can take a pragmatic approach, comply with the regulations of relevant industry associations in the United States, and sell PCs equipped with carbon crystal storage abroad."
Wang Xiang took out a map of the world and said, "The market in the Xia continent belongs to Shenchuan, and the overseas market goes to Dell."
Seeing this division, it would be false to say that Dell is not moved.
In Xia State, Dell saw the crazy sales of PCs led by carbon crystal memory and was very envious.
If your PC can be equipped with carbon crystal memory, it will definitely sell well!
But Dell still has many doubts.
How to solve the motherboard problem?
What is the method of cooperation?
What benefits can Dell get from this? These things are unknown.
Eric said with great regret: "Mr. Wang, I fully understand the current situation of Changtian Technology, and I also fully understand the performance of carbon crystal memory."
"But the current cooperation between us and Changtian Technology still faces many difficulties. First of all, the motherboard does not support carbon crystal memory. In addition, I still don't know what our own cooperation method is."
In response to this question, Wang Xiang answered with a smile:
"We have solved the motherboard issue. We have reached a cooperation with Onda, a motherboard manufacturer in Xiaguo. There is no problem in producing motherboards that support carbon crystal storage and chips."
"And our motherboard chips have been authorized by AMD. I think Intel will not be willing to lag behind if it is authorized by AMD."
"Tell me! Can Angda in Xia Guo produce motherboards?" Eric was shocked. Dell also had business in Xia Guo. He knew very well what the level of hardware manufacturers in Xia Guo was.
How can a sales agency company like Angda have the technology to produce motherboards?
Wang Xiang took out the motherboard that he had already prepared and handed it over.
This motherboard uses AMD chipset, which is also produced by Changtian Technology, but it is branded as Angda.
Wang Xiang said: "You can take the motherboard back and try it out. If you think we can cooperate, we can continue to talk."
"As for cooperation, our previous cooperation must have been profitable for all three parties, Changtian Technology, Shenchuan and Dell!"
“Changtian Technology’s suggestion is that in the mainland market, it will be operated by Shenzhou, and Dell will not participate for the time being. In the international market, three parties will jointly fund the establishment of a sub-brand of Dell, and the shares of Changtian Technology and Shenzhou will not exceed
30%. We will determine the shares in the later period based on market sales and set up a corresponding gambling agreement! We will adjust the shares later.”
"What Changtian Technology can promise is the exclusive right to use top-grade carbon crystal memory!"
"Currently, Kingston and Micron have developed 1G memory, but Changtian Technology's 2G memory is already on the way."
"In the future, we will also develop supporting products such as video memory to increase our competitiveness."
After Wang Xiang finished speaking, he looked at Eric.
Cooperating with Dell is currently one of the best ways for Changtian Technology to break the deadlock.
After all, relying on the current power of Shenchuan, there is no way to enter the international market. It is better to cooperate with Dell.
The market is huge, and Changtian Technology cannot make all the money on its own.
Chen Xiao's strategic goal is very clear. The first step is to gain more allies, and the second step is to fully implement the monopoly and firmly control the right to speak!
Of course, you have to eat the rice in one mouthful.
