Chapter 1060

For Mr. swan, today is definitely the darkest day since he became CEO of Intel.

No, to be exact, it's definitely the most desperate day in half a century, not just for him, but for Intel as a whole.

Even when Japan's five semiconductor enterprises jointly set up the VLSI Research Institute, which reduced the price of chips from $26 to $5, and rapidly occupied the North American market with cheap and reliable 64K chips, it would not feel so desperate.

At least, at that time, they were able to fight back.

Now, the technology they are proud of, and the brilliance they have achieved in the field of carbon based chips, are not worth mentioning in front of the wheel of the times.

In particular, the old fox sitting opposite the conference table, with a pair of big soybean eyes full of cunning, could not see any pleasant color any more.

However, although the process was difficult, when he came out of the conference room, it felt like he had unloaded eight hundred kilograms of burden, and the whole person was relaxed.

In any case, the outcome of applying for bankruptcy protection is avoided.

"What's the result?"

Seeing Swann coming out of the conference room, mabery, who had been pacing back and forth at the door, immediately rushed up.

He is not in a hurry because of the present situation.

After all, it's about whether he can go on as a CTO.

There is no doubt that he is an expert in the field of chips, and his ability to become a chief technology officer also depends on his own strength.

However, when the silicon-based chip is facing a comprehensive replacement, this poor guarantee and self-confidence is even thinner than a piece of paper

“…… I don't want to talk about it now. "

With a deadpan look at mabery, Swann's Adam's Apple moved, and continued.

"I just want to find a place to be alone for a while."

"Then, drink something more."

Looking at Swann's back, who was also walking towards the other end of the corridor, mabery stared in that direction for a long time.

He saw it for the first time.

Even Mr. Swann, who can calmly make decisions under any circumstances, can show such a tired expression

……

There's no benefit in letting Intel fail.

Even if we put aside the political risks and make the environment of free trade difficult, it is not a good thing in terms of the objective law of market development.

As long as the U.S. demand for chips is still there, even if Intel falls, a new semiconductor company will soon emerge to replace its position in the North American market.

Although we won the battle, Warwick's management is very clear-minded. The innovation ability of the semiconductor industry in North America is not weak, or even very strong.

Instead of creating a new Intel, commanding a group of more creative minds to compete with them, it's better to keep the infamous toothpaste factory.

After all, if Intel really went out of business and let a Silicon Valley start-up company with hundreds of millions of dollars in its hands, backed by MIT and Wall Street, take over Intel's lab, it would be more troublesome.

An elephant suffering from the disease of large enterprises and overstaffed is far safer than a group of hungry wolves with fresh blood and flexible movements. Even putting the elephant in this fragile ecosystem can help them suppress the living space of other beasts.

Of course, if the elephant can't survive in the end, it will be killed by a group of hungry wolves who covet its fat in the fierce market competition

It doesn't make any sense to say these things.

Riverside Hotel.

In the five star hotel, which is said to be 100 years old, a banquet is going on.

To be exact, it's a celebration.

In order to celebrate the success of the product launch and the bright future, Huawei has contracted the whole hotel for three days. It seems that it plans to put together the mid year report summary.

Sitting alone at a table, between the toasts and preparations, Wang Zhengfei, with a red face, said with a smile.

"I'm going back to Jinling tomorrow?"

After thinking about it, Lu Zhou replied, "maybe the day after tomorrow, there will be a meeting at imcrc. I have to go for another round tomorrow."

Although he has fished for more than half a year, "the chance of exercise" has been thrown to his designated successor, senior brother Luo, to do it, but somehow he also hangs the post of director general. Such a large meeting does not even show his face, and other participants will inevitably have some micro words.

After all, when imcrc was just founded, there were still some complaints about the fact that China directly appointed its president without voting by the committee, which made other participants of this international research organization more or less complain.If there was not only one country in the world willing to pay for the collider, and had the ability to build it on the moon, they would have turned their heads.

"The moon Hadron Collider?"

"Yes."

Seeing Lu Zhou nodding his head, Wang Zhengfei could not help but sigh and say, "you young people have energy. If I had so many jobs on my body, I would not have been able to bear it."

Chief designer of lunar orbit construction committee, director general of imcrc, the second leader of a national key scientific research project, and the first leader of an international scientific research cooperation project.

Not to mention that Jinling University also has the position of higher research institute.

If you change your mind, don't say you're doing anything else. I'm afraid you're too busy all day to even have time for dinner.

"In fact, it's OK. I don't need to worry too much about things other than research. I don't feel tired to do things I like." After a sip of champagne, the boat suddenly remembered something and asked, "you talked to Intel?"

"Yes," Wang said. "As soon as the product launch is over, their CEO can't wait to find him."

In fact, not only Intel, including Qualcomm, but also five semiconductor companies in North America have contacted them privately.

Obviously, this so-called industry coalition is not as strong as it seems.

Lu Zhou: "it's convenient to disclose. Has it been settled?"

Hearing the question of Lu Zhou, Wang Zhengfei smiled mysteriously and raised three fingers.

"Two guarantees and one agreement."

Hearing this, Lu Zhou's eyebrows raised a little bit of interest.

After the advent of carbon based chips, silicon-based chips have been on the wane. Those lithography machines that were originally banned from sale this time are on sale, and there is no need to find a buyer. After all, China now does not import garbage.

But Huawei and Intel are able to reach a cooperation, presumably because Intel still has chips to enter the Wang's eyes.

Although he was not interested in business, he was a little curious about what the chips were.

"In exchange for what?"

"In North America!"

Hearing this, Lu Zhou was slightly shocked, but soon there was a clear smile on his face.

"It seems that we have won all this time."

Hearing this, Wang Zhengfei laughed, his eyes narrowed into a crescent.

"Win it all? That's right! "

In a good mood, he held up his cup and handed it to the boat.

"Thanks to your dragon! I have to offer you this wine! "

Lu Zhou touched his cup and nodded with a smile.

"Our dragon."
