At the beginning, she heard her husband Chen Wenqi talk about the importance and irreplaceability of VIA Weisheng Electronics' CPUs and graphics cards.
The maximum value is by no means only US$2 billion, so Mrs. Wang made the decision to double the price and directly quote US$4 billion.
But I didn't expect that Sugon R&D Center seemed to be frightened. They actually sent people directly to negotiate with other companies, and the team negotiating with Weisheng Electronics also withdrew.
In this case, Mrs. Wang suddenly felt that she was in trouble. The businessman's cleverness had tricked her. They, Weisheng Electronics, seemed to have lost the opportunity to throw away the two big burdens of the CPU and the graphics card.
On the other side, faced with his wife’s questions, Chen Wenqi, the head of Weisheng Electronics, naturally gave an accurate answer:
“Our Weisheng Electronics’ CPUs and graphics cards are naturally irreplaceable. After all, we are the third company in the world that still produces X86 processors.
Moreover, we not only have X86, MMX, SSE instruction set, and 3DNow instruction set authorizations, but also other CPU technology patents and cross-patent authorizations.
In this case, once they acquire our CPU and graphics card business, they can directly develop and produce their own CPU and graphics cards, saving a lot of energy and time. "
"Is it possible for Shuguang R&D Center to bypass us? How high is the cost of bypassing it?"
Mrs. Wang asked a more critical question.
Weisheng Electronics is the third largest CPU manufacturer in the world. Acquiring them will indeed save a lot of time and energy.
But it would be cool if their price is too high and scares people away.
"They can bypass us, Weisheng Electronics. After all, if nothing else, our SIS company in Bay Island also has the authorization for the X86 instruction set.
Although they should not have MMX and SSE instruction set authorization, Sugon R&D Center can obtain it through other methods.
As for the cost of bypassing us, it is impossible to estimate, but at most, they can reach the same point as us with more than 20 billion US dollars. "
Chen Wenqi gave his professional opinion.
"All right."
After learning the conclusion, Mrs. Wang already knew that they should really be more pragmatic and not continue to speak loudly.
After all, they still have one last glimmer of hope for a comeback before launching the new generation of VIA C3 processor this year.
But the new generation of C3 processor released this year tells Weisheng Electronics with cruel facts that they have completely failed.
Years of investment have completely gone down the drain, and the hope of future success is slim. There is almost no hope of surviving in the market or even turning a profit.
So when they heard that Sugon R&D Center wanted to acquire their CPU and graphics card business.
Weisheng Electronics is really happy, happy that a buyer can take away these two big burdens.
However, under the business mentality of Mrs. Wang and Chen Wenqi, they could not sell at a low price. In the end, Weisheng Electronics quoted a high price of US$4 billion.
But I didn't expect that Sugon R&D Center would have such a bad temper. It directly left Weisheng Electronics and went to negotiate with other manufacturers.
Therefore, Weisheng Electronics, which is anxious to sell, can only be pragmatic and dare not quote such a high price.
"I think we should get rid of this big burden. Even if it is cheaper, we should sell it. From now on, we can concentrate on the business of chipsets, motherboards and complete computers."
Mrs. Wang expressed her opinion.
At this time, after she was slapped by Sugon R&D Center, she no longer had the arrogant pig-killing attitude before.
Now she just wants to get rid of these two loss-making businesses that only burn money but cannot make money.
Because in her opinion, if Weisheng Electronics had not intervened in the CPU and graphics card industries, then Weisheng Electronics would have become the number one in the chipset and motherboard industries.
How could ASUS, MSI and other motherboard manufacturers be given a chance to rise? In the end, their VIV Weisheng Electronics is now at a standstill.
"You can sell it, but in the past five years we have spent about two billion US dollars on CPUs and graphics cards.
After spending so much money, it would be a huge loss if the sale was too low, so let’s negotiate first.
Let’s see if we can sell it for US$2 billion. In this way, although we don’t make money and work in vain, we don’t lose money either. If it doesn’t work, we’ll talk about it then. "
Chen Wenqi, President of Weisheng Electronics, expressed his views.
Now he also knows that his dream of big Xia Xin is shattered, but even so, he does not want to sell it to Shuguang R&D Center at a loss, after all, this is his hard work for several years.
"Whatever you want, in short, I think that even if you sell it cheaper, you will still continue to lose money if you continue to hold it in your hands.
Anyway, it will be sold to Daxia people after all, which can be regarded as a disguised realization of your dream of the rise of Daxia core.
After selling, let's concentrate on operating chipsets and computer motherboards. After all, only by specializing can we become stronger. We should first defeat ASUS and MSI to regain the leading position in chipsets and motherboards. "
Hearing his wife's words, Chen Wenqi, the president of Weisheng Electronics, fell silent, and then thought carefully about whether he should sell it cheaper.
"Hey, let's talk about it first and try to get a higher price."
Chen Wenqi, who finished speaking with a sigh, decided to lower the reserve price slightly even though she said so.
After all, his wife was right, selling to Sugon R&D Center was ultimately a left-hand move.
Their VIA Weisheng Electronics cannot support the huge consumption of research and development of CPUs and graphics cards, and cannot realize the dream of the rise of Daxiaxin.
Then let Sugon R&D Center realize it, and we can't just occupy the manhole and do nothing.
Moreover, selling the chip and graphics card business to Sugon R&D Center can be regarded as a disguised form of allowing Sugon R&D Center to realize its dream of the rise of Xiaxin.
"Okay, let's talk about it."
Mrs. Wang nodded lightly with satisfaction.
So as Weisheng Electronics made its decision, it didn't take long for Lin Chen to receive an invitation from Chen Wenqi and his wife to negotiate with him in person.
Among them, they also directly invited Lin Chen to go to the Bay Island to talk to them, but Lin Chen naturally refused to go to the sea to the Bay Island, which was quite dangerous.
In the end, after some wrangling between the two parties, Weisheng Electronics, which wanted to get rid of two big burdens, chose to compromise and bow its head, and finally decided to negotiate in Pengcheng.
…
June 27, 2004, 8 o'clock in the evening, Pengcheng, in a large hotel.
"Mr. Lin Chen, good evening."
"Good evening, Mr. Chen Wenqi."
Lin Chen smiled and shook hands with Chen Wenqi, the boss of Weisheng Electronics.
"Mr. Lin is really young. He is truly a hero."
Mrs. Wang on the side also smiled and praised Lin Chen.
"Mrs. Wang is young and beautiful."
Lin Chen also complimented him in reverse, without any loss of etiquette.
"Come on, sit down first."
Chen Wenqi, the head of Weisheng Electronics on the side, also called Lin Chen to come and sit down at the dinner table.
"Um."
Lin Chen, who nodded lightly, also sat down. Although the two parties were not formally negotiating this time, but a gathering in the name of eating, the reality was similar.
Before the food was brought out, Chen Wenqi also smiled and asked:
"Mr. Lin Chen, I wonder what you think of the future computer field?" (End of Chapter)
