Chapter 981 The Battle of Chips·The Unreliable BrotherSeeking Subscription

The cost of investing in this set of CPU design tools is really amazing, completely beyond Chairman Chen's expectations.

"Dong Chen, just to build a computing center for the big data system, the investment in the Galaxy III supercomputer is more than 250 million yuan. This is only the equipment cost, and the software platform, office production area, operating expenses, etc. require a lot of investment." At that time, Zhou Jiawei looked at Chairman Chen with a strange look.

He roughly estimated that it would take at least 2 billion yuan to build a computer center comparable to the headquarters of Yiming Group.Is VIA willing to pay such a large sum of money?

"Ah? This...is this too exaggerated?" After hearing Zhou Jiawei's introduction, the enthusiasm in Chairman Chen's heart instantly became cold.It costs such a dollar to build a computer center that supports a big data system platform. No other company in Bay Bay has such strength.

Unless the government comes forward, it's pretty much the same.But why can Yiming Group Company afford it?

Chairman Chen couldn't figure it out.

Recalling Xu Zhenming's unit price for selling big data systems in Xiangjiang a few days ago, he turned to understand.

"Xu Zhenming has converted the technical licensing of the big data system into the cost. This guy is really black, and even our own people dare to make money!" He thought, but he had to envy Xu Zhenming and Yiming Group.

In his opinion, if all the high-tech mastered by Yiming Group is converted into cash, Xu Zhenming might already be the richest person on the planet.But they were too low-key, and left quietly after spending a long time in Xiangjiang.

If this kind of identity rests on any entrepreneur in Wanwan, shouldn't the media people in Wanwan be blown up?

After figuring out these hidden meanings, Chairman Chen made a temporary decision: "Our VIA company must cooperate with Xu Zhenming. This is an invisible boss and will definitely bring us VIA company a rich return."

There is a famous saying in the business world of Bay Bay that a group of multi-millionaires is always gathered around a billionaire.

Therefore, Taiwanese businessmen who invest in the mainland always like to get together and are very stingy.They naturally like to move closer to the strong and be the younger brother of the strong.This should have something to do with the island culture.

At this time, something that surprised Chairman Chen very much happened.

"Dong Chen, if your company is willing to cooperate with us, I suggest that you move the headquarters of Cyril to Xiangjiang. You and our two parties will invest in a chip design company in Shenzhen. For this joint venture, our group company is willing to build in Shenzhen. A national computer center."

Xu Zhenming once again threw an olive branch to him, with a very sincere attitude, which can be described as a leading brother.

This made Chairman Chen feel the happiness of being hit in the head by the lucky star, and even suspected that Xu Zhenming was deliberately deceiving him.

"Um...Xu Dong, why do you want to cooperate with us?" He was a little incoherent.

"The CPU architecture system battle is actually a life-and-death war. I don't want Cyril and ARM to be eliminated, so I thought of joining forces with your VIA company. This is one of them..." Xu Zhenming glanced at him with sincere eyes , Smiling faintly.

"The second? What's the second reason?" Chairman Chen somewhat believed in Xu Zhenming's theory.

Since the Americans brought down the island country’s semiconductor industry, competition in the CPU industry has become increasingly fierce.The boss in this kind of industry naturally knows the future industry situation that Xu Zhenming has inferred.

But these should not be Xu Zhenming's core purpose to help VIA!

"The second one, I think Cyril, and even VIA, should be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange instead of nesting in the Bay Area. The Bay Area is too small to stay there." At this time, Xu Zhenming looked Suddenly became very sharp and looked at him meaningfully.

The 96 Taiwan Strait crisis has just passed, and Chairman Chen can feel the meaning in Xu Zhenming's eyes.

As a Chinese businessman, Chairman Chen is actually unwilling to get involved in political ideology.But if he does not make a choice, Xu Zhenming, a politically conscious boss, is likely to abandon VIA and turn around to cooperate with others.

"I...I still think it would be better for Cyril to go public in the future." After hesitating for a while, Chairman Chen finally made a choice that he regretted his entire life.

"Eh? Ha ha ha... I don't mind the decision made by Chen Dong. We have another way of cooperation. For example, our Yiming Group will acquire Huajing Chip Company, and your company can also become a shareholder. In this way, CyrilCPU's tape-out is no worries."

Although Xu Zhenming had some regrets, he quickly adjusted his mood and strategy, once again giving Chairman Chen and VIA a good opportunity to continue to bind VIA with Yiming Group.In his opinion, as long as Chairman Chen is ambitious, he will definitely take out the technology of the X86 architecture system.

It was as he imagined.

When Chairman Chen heard Xu Zhenming's other suggestion, he nodded in agreement without thinking.

"This is probably the ultimatum given to me by Xu Zhenming. If I don't agree, the future development of CyrilCPU will be very difficult, and I am afraid it will die!" He thought.

If he didn't know that Yiming Group's chip laboratory mastered high-tech plug-ins, he would not care about Xu Zhenming's words and deeds.But now, he has felt that Yiming Group is even more terrifying than Intel's Intel, and it will not take any effort to crush Cyril.

The more you know, the less courage Chairman Chen has.

And he didn't know that Xu Zhenming's main purpose of pulling VIA into the car was not for Cyril.In other words, the only thing that Cyril is interested in is the technical secrets of the X86 architecture system.

The current enemy of Yiming Group is Intel, AMD, IBM, TI and other American semiconductor giants, and the future enemy is the chip Foundry giants such as Moss Mechatronics of Wanwan and Sanxin Electronics of Korea.

In Xu Zhenming's eyes, VIA's size and technical reserves are insignificant.Coupled with the fact that the Chairman Chen is so short-sighted and wants to stay on the small island in Wanwan, this company is destined to decline!

However, even though Xu Zhenming thought so, he did not show the slightest bit of courtesy to receive this Wanwan entrepreneur who came over again on the fence.

Witnessed by many senior executives of Yiming Group, the two of them signed the text of the strategic cooperation agreement between VIA and Yiming Group.

Starting today, the ecosystem of the Suzaku series of CPUs of Yiming Group has added another VIA computer motherboard.

VIA, which is good at riding the fence, once again bet on both sides, supporting X86 CPUs and Suzaku CPUs on the other.

Not only that, Chairman Chen also sent another order worth tens of millions of dollars to Yiming Group.He decided to purchase the Longteng EDA software system chip development tool and plan to lease part of the right to use Yiming Group's computer center in Shenzhen.

This is a win-win cooperation: VIA can obtain the world's most advanced CPU development environment; Yiming Group can obtain the technical secrets of the X86 system architecture for free.
