Chapter 311: 3-Party Agreements Affecting the Tech Community (1)
(The typo has not been corrected, refresh reading after 00:10.)
Eric returned to Dell headquarters with the motherboard and carbon crystal memory.
In Dell's labs, engineers put AMD's latest 3000+ chips onto motherboards and test them later.
The test results surprised everyone!
The comprehensive capability of AMD3000+ CPU is not as good as that of Intel's Pentium 4, but the motherboard and memory provided by Changtian Technology seem to be specially tailored for AMD, which can best utilize the new performance of the chip.
Whether it is CPU operation or external data exchange, it is very smooth, and it is completely sufficient for general high-performance users.
In other words, such a combination can fully meet the needs of the market as long as you are not an ultra-high-performance user.
AMD's CPUs are also much cheaper than Pentium 4s, and if Dell uses the CPUs of this signal, it will make a lot of profit.
Dell originally planned to obtain carbon crystal memory, but did not expect that the dream would come true now.
And just like what Wang Xiang said, Dell is an international company, not a pure American company, and its business cannot just be in this corner of the United States.
Now that AMD has chosen to cooperate with Changtian Technology, it means that there has been a split within the US Semiconductor Association.
Others can cooperate, why can't I cooperate?
Dell CEO Michael looked at the combination of the fast-running Changtian Technology motherboard (Angda), AMD3000+ chip and 1G carbon crystal memory, and moved his mind.
As soon as such a configuration comes out, the price is a little cheaper than that of the Pentium 4 processor, and it will definitely become a hit in the market.
Dell's market has almost reached a consensus without long-term research.
At the end of this year, Xia will join the WTO. According to the cost of human resources in Xia, there will definitely be a large number of factories pouring into Xia, the conditions of Xia people will get better and better, and the demand for computers will also surge.
Since last year, many Asian countries have also recovered from the financial crisis a few years ago, and the economy is running very well! There will definitely be a golden period of ten to twenty years, and these have prompted the outbreak of consumer products such as computers. Preconditions.
If Dell wants to seize this opportunity, it must not be able to take the road of homogeneity. It is the best choice to cooperate with AMD and Changtian Technology!
Recognizing this, Michael decisively contacted AMD to ask about the specific situation, and then asked Eric to contact Wang Xiang to see if the two sides should meet.
AMD has not yet made up its mind to cooperate with Changtian Technology. I did not expect that Dell is actually asking about this, and learned that Changtian Technology has actually made a motherboard that is compatible with AMD!
So what are you waiting for!
The two sides hit it off!
Dell CEO Michael and his team, AMD CEO Gervin and senior engineer Schneider and his team rushed to New York from California to meet Wang Xiang.
This time, instead of a coffee shop, I found a private club.
Whether it was Michael or Gervin, everyone was very cautious.
After all, before the cooperation agreement is reached, it is not good if it is discovered by the media and exposed.
In a small private room in the clubhouse, only three people met, and the other staff were outside the room.
Wang Xiang was in a trance at this time, and even more sighed.
Two years ago, he was still a technical director in Li Delong's factory.
Although the salary is still good, it does not have the current height and pattern at all.
After working with Chen Xiao for two years, he founded Kechangtian Technology together, and solved one by one difficulty. Now he is actually in the United States negotiating with the CEOs of two technology giants, Dell and AMD, in the same room.
In life, you really can't set an upper limit for yourself.
Michael and Gervin looked at Wang Xiang and suddenly realized that they had been "deceived".
The motherboard in Michael's hands that supports AMD chips is actually not authorized by AMD. It is produced by Changtian Technology without authorization.
And Gervin also knew that Dell did not in fact reach a cooperation with Changtian Technology.
But what does it matter?
Officially, the three people were able to talk about things in one room because of a small "scam".
Now that everyone has come together, it must be about cooperation.
Wang Xiang also went straight to the theme and came up with a cooperation plan.
First, based on the products of October 2001, Changtian Technology's memory will only support AMD chips.
That is to say, starting from October, all Intel Pentium 4 processors will not be supported by carbon crystal memory.
Intel's older chips are exempt.
Second, AMD authorized Changtian Technology for motherboard chipsets, allowing Changtian Technology or Changtian Technology to authorize other companies to produce AMD motherboards.
Third, Changtian Technology and AMD jointly established Changtian Technology Xingrui International Co., Ltd.
AMD Xingrui company Changtian Technology holds 90% of the shares, and AMD holds 10% of the shares. The company is mainly responsible for the overseas sales of Changtian Technology's memory and carbon crystal hard drives, but it will not undertake research and development, production and other work.
This matter was set by Chen Xiao.
Let 5% of the shares, and will accept capital financing and so on in the future.
Why do this?
Because now the Xia Kingdom is too weak and the United States is too strong.
If the products of Changtian Technology are to be sold abroad, they must make profits and find overseas allies.
Otherwise, relying on Changtian Technology to fight alone, no matter how strong your technical strength is, it will be very hard.
Even if you open up the market, you will be stalked by the United States, and it will take a lot of energy to win.
Sacrificing a little profit for a broader market.
For this kind of cooperation, Changtian Technology still has a very bottom line. All technologies have not been used to make transactions. The only transaction is the market.
Moreover, Changtian Technology has not entered the international market in the first place, and it is cost-effective to exchange 10% for the access qualification of a global market.
If you don't give AMD a little sweetness, AMD will never cooperate with Changtian Technology wholeheartedly.
If you take 10% of the shares to Intel, Intel will never take it.
The reason why AMD is willing to cooperate is also because of AMD's actual conditions. Its strength is much worse than Intel's. If it climbs the technology tree, AMD has no confidence to surpass Intel in a short time.
However, if it can cooperate with Changtian Technology, it is still conceivable to surpass Intel in a short period of time with the addition of carbon crystal memory.
AMD is still very interested in Xingrui International, a joint venture with Changtian Technology, and holds 10% of the shares, which is a lot!
When discussing cooperation with Gewen, Wang Xiang also directly brought orders for 60,000 AMDS3000+ chips from Shenchuan.
Under the expectation of a bright future and realistic interests, Gerwen agreed with Changtian Technology's plan!
As a support for Changtian Technology, AMD will support Changtian Technology from a technical point of view, and oppose the US Semiconductor Association's unfavorable judgment on Changtian Technology.
In addition, AMD will use all its resources and contacts to help Changtian Technology's carbon crystal memory develop the market.
