It can be said that without Intel's assistance, Sugon R&D Center would have wanted to obtain authorization for the X86-64 processor architecture.
That would also involve exchanging very important black technology with D Company for licensing, and the only loss would be Sugon R&D Center.
So this time it was really an unexpected surprise. Lin Chen should really give Intel a best assist award.
…
"Damn it!"
After hearing the result, Intel President Barrett cursed and regretted so much that he wanted to vomit blood. He felt that maybe he should not have withdrawn the patent authorization in the first place.
He completely overestimated the psychological endurance and ambition of Weisheng Electronics Chen Wenqi. He did not expect that Weisheng Electronics could not bear the pressure and sold it at a broken price. This was so heartbreaking.
However, when Intel President Barrett was feeling depressed and regretful, he did not know that a crisis was quietly approaching him!
On the third day after Sugon R&D Center acquired Weisheng Electronics' CPU and graphics card business, Intel's major shareholders held a board meeting. Barrett thought it was an ordinary board meeting.
Paul Oudening, who had always concealed his true ambitions, actually attacked him directly.
He presented a series of evidence materials at the shareholders' meeting and criticized Barrett as useless.
Using words as sharp as a knife and solid evidence, he pointed out the fact that he was only suitable for technical management and was not suitable to be the head of Intel.
The words and evidence of Paul O'Dening were so sharp that they made Barrett, the 65-year-old head of Intel, so angry that he nearly fainted.
But no matter how angry Barrett was, he couldn't refute anything, because every accusation made by the other party was true.
For example, Paul Odeline accused Intel of allowing a mere company D to rise under the leadership of Barrett.
It also allowed .D's market share to be as high as 25% at one time. This was simply the biggest shame in Intel's history.
Another example is that Paul Oudening accused Barrett of making serious mistakes in the matter between Sugon Technology and Weisheng Electronics, which resulted in Sugon Technology acquiring Weisheng Electronics at a lower price.
Sugon Technology has become the world's third largest processor manufacturer and will seriously threaten Intel in the future.
After criticizing these sharp accusations and solid evidence, the shareholders and board members at the scene really felt that Barrett was indeed the worst president in Intel's history.
Under his leadership, Intel indeed encountered its biggest Waterloo in history.
The market share of Wannian Lao Er.D Company was once as high as 25%, and under his leadership, Intel's performance and profits were getting worse and worse.
Finally, in the case of Weisheng Electronics, the final outcome was indeed quite bad, although if someone else had estimated the outcome, the result would be similar.
But no one can deny that if Intel does not revoke the authorization to provide SSE3 instruction set and hyper-threading technology to Weisheng Electronics, then Weisheng Electronics may not sell its CPU and graphics card business to Sugon R&D Center!
In addition, many of the mistakes made by Barrett during his time in power were all recounted one by one. Under these evidences and sharp verbal accusations.
Intel's board members also experienced a major change in their views on Barrett, and they looked at him with deep doubts.
Seeing this, Intel's current president Barrett also knew that he was completely finished. He had lost the trust of the board of directors and he would no longer be able to continue to serve as president!
Thinking of this, Barrett looked at Paul Oudening with eyes full of anger and resentment.
He was originally planning to retire safely next year, but this damn guy actually did this!
Not only has his plan for a peaceful retirement been completely disrupted, but it also makes him likely to become the first president in Intel's history to be forcibly dismissed by the board of directors. This is absolutely unacceptable!
Although Barrett was quite angry when he thought of this, he still decided to try to struggle, so he slowly said:
"I have worked hard for so many years without any credit. I just hope that I can exit Intel safely instead of being forcibly dismissed."
Hearing this, the shareholders of the board of directors looked at each other, and finally agreed to Barrett's request.
After all, if he is forcibly dismissed, Intel's reputation will indeed suffer certain losses and criticism no matter what.
On the contrary, if Barrett was allowed to resign on his own, the final result would not change, and both parties would be left with a good face, so they agreed to Barrett's request.
"If you don't understand technology, you will eventually lead Intel to destruction."
After the board meeting, looking at Paul Ouderning who was looking at him with a proud smile, Barrett slowly expressed his opinion.
In this board meeting, there is no doubt that Paul Ouderning is the ultimate winner.
Not only did he succeed in bringing down Barrett, the current Intel president, he also gained the trust of shareholders.
After all, he not only pointed out Barrett's mistake, but also pointed out through words what would happen if he did it.
With the benefit of hindsight, shareholders naturally have a lot of trust in him. It is conceivable that after his resignation, the next president will be Paul Oudening.
“I want to be the president of Intel, and it doesn’t matter whether I understand technology or not.
Understanding technology is what R&D personnel should do, and my mission is to make Intel even greater. "
Paul Odening slowly expressed his opinion.
At this time, he was very confident and arrogant, as if if he were in Barrett's situation, he would perform countless times better than Barrett.
Seeing this, Barrett, a 65-year-old man, took a deep look at Paul Olden and said nothing, but he was worried about Intel's future.
However, when he thought of the Core processor that had already been developed, the worry in Barrett's eyes lessened.
After all, if nothing else, the Core processor that has been developed with all its efforts should be enough to suppress the future Sugon Technology and .D Company.
The Core processor is a new generation processor architecture that he devoted all his efforts to invest heavily in research and development in order to prevent the rise of .D from happening again.
Therefore, Barrett is quite confident that Core processors can defeat Sugon Technology and D Company in the future.
In this regard, Paul Ouderning, who was leaving with a proud smile at this time, didn't know what Barrett was thinking. He didn't know that the old man was already thinking about Intel's future a few years or even ten years from now. .
It can only be said that young people have the advantages of young people, and old people also have the advantages of old people.
Of course, no matter what Barrett is thinking, it is an inevitable reality that Barrett will be forced to leave Intel and then Paul Odeline will become the new president of Intel.
So within a week, Sugon Technology was trying to develop semiconductor production equipment and core technologies such as CPU processors and graphics cards.
Intel completed a series of formalities for the resignation of the old president and the appointment of the new president. Then the new president Paul Odelin held a press conference that was destined to affect the future of global semiconductors.
