Chapter 104 I won't lie to you
With the help of various capitals, negotiations with cyrix finally began.
The day before the negotiation, Su Yuanshan was so excited that he could hardly fall asleep. He repeatedly checked the information of both parties with Carly and determined the final bottom line for his own side.
"The asset appraisal report is just a piece of paper that wipes its butt, and it's useless except being disgusting." Su Yuanshan sipped his coffee with big mouthfuls and said with great energy: "Tomorrow, you go up and threaten it first, and I will do it in the second round. We will strive to get it done in two rounds. How about it?"
Carly laughed: "We asked for the acquisition, how can we scare others? Intimidate them with lawsuits? That's a job that Intel can do."
Su Yuanshan scratched his head: "That's right, then we will negotiate openly tomorrow and see how much they offer."
"Well. The key is that their FPU is a bit patented, and the patent is valuable...it's very troublesome."
"It doesn't matter. We have a community of interests, Deyi, which is more beneficial to the future lawsuit." Su Yuanshan rubbed his face and paused: "Actually, I am mainly worried now. Don't let us get it done. When the government comes out to intervene, it will be over."
Carly was speechless: "It's not Yuanxin that came to buy it across the country... Xinghai is a company registered in Silicon Valley. Moreover, Cyrix does not involve military products. How can the government have so much idle care about you? Could it be that after you acquire Cyrix, you put all the people in containers and tie them back to the mainland?"
“…I’m not a kidnapper.”
Carly spread her hands: "That's going to be over. It's natural for Silicon Valley companies to acquire Silicon Valley companies. Why are you so unconfident in the government..."
Su Yuanshan said, "I want to have confidence in your government..."
However, Su Yuanshan quickly figured it out that the Star Flag Kingdom now has strong confidence and strength to ensure that Xinghai is "abiding by the rules", so it doesn't care which side of Xinghai is the capital and which side of the holdings. In addition, Cyrix only involves civilian products and is still behind in technology, so there is no need to raise any security stick.
You know, Yuanxin also has a CPU! And it is a fully independent property-owned architecture! The 50mz main frequency even makes it stronger than the 486dlc series created by Cyrix now.
The next day, the first round of negotiations with cyrix officially began.
...
The asset appraisal report valued Cyrix only $60 million, but Claude's offer was 2.50 million, and there were also conditions to maintain the independence of Cyrix.
"It's okay to maintain relative independence. But 250 million...Mr. Claude, you have raised funds twice in total from the beginning to now. The first time is 3 million, the second time is 20 million, and the valuation is only 100 million US dollars when it was 20 million. That was half a year ago."
Carly looked at Claude with interest: "Your valuation has increased by 2.5 times in the past six months?"
Since they are all acquaintances, Claude is not false at all and smiled: "We have launched a new CPU in the past six months, which just makes up for the low-end market."
"That's going to sue you too."
"But we have a great chance of winning."
"But once you fail, you will have to go bankrupt. And your chances of winning are a settlement - you have to pay expensive lawyer fees." Carly turned his pen and said with a smile: "In addition to Xinghai, are there anyone who is willing to invest in you now?"
Claude remained silent: "Carly, don't forget that we have products."
"I know, but your products are too low-end, so you can only go east - have you talked with HP? You were snatched by Amd." Carly kept teasing Claude.
"..." As soon as Amd robbed the order of hp, Cloud immediately became a little angry: "Our retail market is also OK!"
Carly smiled: "That's not necessarily true. Haven't you heard that Intel is about to release a new product."
Claude was stunned: "Who did you say it?"
"I said that." Su Yuanshan took the conversation with a smile. He signaled to Carly and asked himself to do it.
"According to reliable news, Intel's latest products are already being leaked. When their new products come out, what should I do if the old CPUs are reduced? What should I do if those old CPUs flow into the second-hand market? These are all the impact on your products." Su Yuanshan said slowly.
Claude's face suddenly became unstable.
Su Yuanshan continued: "And all of this comes from... You only know how to copy and do not have their own core technology and competitiveness. Even if you win the lawsuit with Intel, you don't have to lose money. Do you expect to rely on products that are behind several generations to compete with Intel? Oh no... it should be a competition with Amd?"
"You know, since the 386 era, Intel has never planned to live for his peers."
Claude took a deep breath. He looked at Su Yuanshan carefully, hoping to find that Su Yuanshan was exaggerating.
But he was disappointed, and he only saw a faint sense of superiority on Su Yuanshan's face.
This sense of superiority can be understood by people who are engaged in technology at a glance, and it looks down on people who are mastering advanced technology to low-level technology.
This feeling made him feel uncomfortable, but he had to admit... Yuanxin's technical strength is better than himself.
Su Yuanshan smiled again: "We have always been involved in the x86 architecture and have accumulated a certain amount of accumulation."
"You?" Claude immediately looked at Carly.
He couldn't figure out whether Su Yuanshan's "we" refers to the starry sea or the Yuanxin far away in the mainland.
Carly shrugged: "Not here."
"After all, Yuanxin has a yx architecture. Although it is a streamlined instruction set, it is now well integrated with Linux, but the ecosystem is a bit bad. There is no way. Microsoft is too tightly tied to Intel and does not support our architecture. Otherwise, I would dare to fight against Intel with the desktop processor just by relying on yx's CPU."
After hearing Su Yuanshan's words, Claude just smiled.
Complex instruction sets have natural advantages in establishing software ecosystems, which cannot be compared with streamlined instruction sets.
But he quickly asked, "What are your progress in the x86 architecture?"
"A lot of progress. I don't lie to you, but I can't tell you now."
Su Yuanshan looked at Claude with a smile: "When will we become a family, I will tell you when."
"You..." Claude almost got angry and laughed.
Please! This is a negotiation between the two sides!
He said nonsensely, "I have a secret weapon to help you, but you have to be mine." Is there such a joke?
"Mr. Claude, if you know me, you will know that I never lie." Just as Claude was about to go crazy, Su Yuanshan curled and said seriously: "We do have a plan, otherwise... do you think, why would I choose you?"
"I'm also betting that Intel will reach a settlement after we acquire you and then successfully obtain the authorization of the x86 architecture. We will not have to go through any further trouble."
"If this is not the case, I can work with Amd - you have to know that Amd's probability of winning is much greater than that of you."
Carly glanced at Su Yuanshan and knocked on the pen at the right time.
"Claude, 120 million, has an explanation to your investors."
