The white Porsche Cayenne slowed down its driving speed. Although Shi Lei was talking with a Bluetooth headset, it would not affect his hands on the steering wheel, but focusing on the content of the call might cause unsafe driving. Therefore, Shi Lei lowered his speed.
, once an emergency occurs, it is convenient to have response time to deal with it.
"Mu Shuang, are you saying that AMD still doesn't agree with the 50-50 split model?" Shi Lei asked about the specific situation.
Mu Shuang said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Well, that's right, AMD doesn't agree to a 50-50 profit split, or even a 60-40 split. They don't accept it. During today's negotiation process, AMD came up with the final proposal.
Bottom line, they are only willing to give up three levels of profits, and they also need us to settle the payment every week.
Shi Lei was stunned for a moment and remembered something.
AMD achieved quite brilliant results in 2006. It acquired ATI graphics processor company; the company's stock price reached US$2,012 in the fourth quarter of 2006; AUhlan and Owteran processors achieved great success, and their market share once exceeded that of AMD.
The highest level reached 25.
However, the good times did not last long!
After ABRD acquired ATI Graphics Processor Company, it suffered from indigestion. As a result of this sky-high acquisition, AMD's cash flow had a huge problem.
To make matters worse, UNtel counterattacked strongly, launching a large number of wntMl processors and constantly introducing new ones to hit the market, causing AMD's share of the processor market to fall again and again.
After entering the year, AMD entered a period of rapid decline. The company's debt reached US$2 billion, its market share dropped by 1%, and its stock price suffered an almost devastating hit, falling directly below KO US$1.
If something is already bad, there will definitely be something even worse.
This is the situation of ABRD Company. Starting from the beginning of 2018, after 2019, AMD Company has made no improvement and lost money for four quarters. For the whole year of 2018, it was still a loss! Loss! Loss!
In the fourth quarter of this year, ABRD's debt reached US$3, its market share almost fell below 10%, and its stock price dropped to between US$5 and US$6.
If it weren't for the restrictions of antitrust laws, which did not allow Intel to dominate, AMD, one of the two giants in the CPU industry, would have collapsed long ago!
There are rumors in the market that wntMl invested money to help AMD when AMD was in its most difficult time, and successfully became a shareholder of AMD.
As a result, wntel dangerously became the sole overlord of the CPU market. After all, in later generations, AMD almost gave up on the field of high-end CPUs. Untel was alone in the field of high-end CPUs, and prices were set completely in accordance with the form of Yitang. At the same time, each generation
The CPU performance improvement is basically only 10%. Wang You is completely deceiving users.
According to Mu Shuang, AMD requires Dream Entertainment to settle payments every week. This is obviously a problem with AMD's cash flow, and it is trying to obtain cash flow support from Dream Entertainment's cooperation.
A crazy idea suddenly came to Shi Lei's mind!
Acquire AMD!
That’s right, it’s the acquisition of AMD!
In the next two years, AMD will be in an absolutely weak state. This weak state even lasted until 2011 and has not fully recovered.
Shi Lei hopes to seize this opportunity and acquire AMD to directly allow Mirui Technology to gain the status of a world-class giant.
It's just that if you want to acquire AMD, you need at least US$5 billion to hold more than 51% of AMD's shares and gain absolute control of AMD.
Five billion U.S. dollars, converted into Xia Guoyuan in the era of , was a full 40 billion yuan!
Even Shi Lei didn't have enough confidence to obtain 40 billion yuan in one year. After all, this was 2010, not the turbulent era of the stock market crash in 1990.
Even at that time, Shi Lei was a hacker and not a financial expert. How could he possibly know and pay attention to stock market information?
The all-knowing and all-powerful God is God. Even after rebirth, he cannot become the all-knowing and all-powerful God. He is just a human being.
CrossFire can earn 5 billion yuan a year. According to the analysis of World of Brave's main focus on the high-end market, if the number of users of World of Brave can reach twice that of CrossFire, it may earn 40 billion yuan a year, which is not a big problem.
.
Analyzing the original historical situation, CrossFire will only be released in 2017. The number of people online at the same time exceeds one million per year, and the number will increase by one million every year thereafter. As of 2012, the highest number of people online at the same time for CrossFire has reached four million.
.
The statistical time for CrossFire's annual revenue of 5 billion yuan was in 2011, which means that there were almost 3 million people online at the same time, and the number of active gamers was at least 100,000.
In order for World of Brave to have twice as many users as CrossFire, it needs at least 20,000 active players.!
This is almost an impossible task!
But Shi Lei still has to work hard and strive to win AMD by 2020, or 2020 at the latest.
Only by having your own processor manufacturing company can you manufacture central processors and graphics processors that truly conform to Mirui's technology system.
Moreover, supercomputers suitable for artificial intelligence can also be built!
Although there seemed to be a lot of information about AMD, it actually flashed through Shi Lei's mind in an instant.
After confirming the plan to acquire AMD, how can Shi Lei still cooperate with AMD? If he cooperates with AHRD, wouldn't he take the initiative to help AMD solve its cash flow problem?
"Mu Shuang, notify AMD to suspend negotiations with AMD. If AMD wants to ask the reason, tell AMD directly. This is a senior decision of Mirui Technology. In addition, even if AMD is willing to accept a higher amount of account sharing model,
We must also resolutely reject AMD." Shi Lei stated his plan.
This is an insidious decision that will greatly suppress AMD!
Although AMD has increased its sales to a certain extent in recent months with the help of World of Brave's closed beta invitation code, in the end it is only a drop in the bucket and cannot restore AMD's decline.
Now that we have entered April, the number of invitation codes for the closed beta test of World of Brave has appeared. For the remaining invitation codes for the closed beta test, apart from natural purchases, no one has purchased them on a large scale.
The original agreement between Dream Entertainment and major manufacturers was completely achievable even based on the final sales situation.
Once there is no support from the World of Brave closed beta invitation code, AMD's central processing units and ATI graphics processors will once again have the problem of plummeting sales.
Shi Lei secretly sighed in his heart, I am afraid that this is the reason why wntel and nVIDIA are sitting on the Diaoyutai and have no contact with Dream Entertainment. They know that AMD is heavily in debt, and they are not nervous about what big changes AMD will make.
‘Sure enough, Untel and nVIDIA are both old foxes!,
Mu Shuang heard Shi Lei's answer and said with some confusion: "Shi Lei, why? If we cooperate with AMD, we will make a lot of profits. If AMD can give up three levels of profits, according to our company's budget department
Calculating, we have a profit of about 200 million to 400 million
If there was no plan to acquire AMD before, maybe this profit could still attract Shi Lei. But after making up his mind to acquire AMD, how could Shi Lei be tempted?
For most people, 400 million yuan is an astronomical figure among astronomical figures, but for Shi Lei, it is not an unattainable goal.
The World of Braves is destined to be prosperous. It's only 400 million yuan, but it really doesn't matter to Shi Lei!
It's a pity that most people, in this era, still don't understand the value and charm that online games can create.
Shi Lei did not intend to tell Mu Shuang about the acquisition of AMD. This was not because he did not trust Mu Shuang, but because there was no point in telling Mu Shuang.
A company that has just started less than a year ago is clamoring to acquire world-class high-tech companies. Isn't this a joke?
If it just makes people laugh, Shi Lei won't care. But if it arouses AMD's vigilance, or even attracts Untel's attention, it is definitely not a result Shi Lei wants to see.
Shi Lei doesn't want to be beaten!
"Mu Shuang, the specific reason is a bit complicated. When I have time, I will explain it to you slowly." Shi Lei did not elaborate.
Mu Shuang was very smart and realized that Shi Lei didn't want to tell her now. So, she didn't ask any more questions, "Okay, I understand. After lunch, I will notify AMD when the afternoon negotiations begin."
Shi Lei liked Mu Shuang's sensible style the most, "Then I'll trouble you, Mu Shuang."
"You're welcome, I also like the feeling of controlling the company. If I'm serious, I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for providing me with an excellent platform." Mu Shuang said sincerely.
"Okay, okay, Mu Shuang, let's not thank each other. Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together!" Shi Lei invited.
Mu Shuang refused negatively, "No, I have to work overtime tonight. The development of World of Brave is about to be completed. It's easy for you to be the hands-off shopkeeper, but the related submission work is not easy at all."
In this weird country like Xia Kingdom, even if the World of Brave is well-known, even if the World of Brave represents Xia Kingdom’s advanced technology to a certain extent, if the process of submission is not properly smoothed out, you may still get stuck.
.
Shi Lei's heart skipped a beat. If the higher-ups in Xie Nanfeng's group wanted to block the world of the brave, would it be possible?
