Chapter 1268: An Unfavorable Acquisition

What Fujita said now was not what he meant. On this point, the person who spoke is very clear, and the person responsible for delivering the message is also very clear. Takajia has always been very wary of the Japanese consortium, and there is no need to hide it at all.

Comrade Lao Ma once said that from the moment capital was born, dirty things flowed in its veins.

This sentence is very reasonable. When capital develops to its extreme, chaebols will naturally be born. At first, they just stayed together to keep each other warm and had no political opinions.

As for what happened next...

At the very least, those who promoted the course of World War I and World War II were the so-called plutocrats. Although they are different, there is not much difference in essence.

Overproduction is a disaster in any era. The easiest thing to consume materials is undoubtedly war.

As a compromise, Japan's chaebol first gave up on securities firms and also allowed American banks to enter the Japanese market. Banks may not be that big of a deal, but even though Japan is a small country, few people or companies are willing to choose banks abroad.

As for securities companies, this is more tragic. The entry of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley is basically a countdown to the death of Japanese securities firms.

Financial openings have been opened for agriculture and industry. The American consortium chose to turn a blind eye. In agriculture, the price advantage of the United States is difficult for other economies to match. As for industry, the United States is already on the road to industrialization, so it doesn't matter.

White Capital, which suddenly emerged, is really annoying at this time. Compared with other consortiums, their methods are relatively mild. In fact, on some issues, they are not of the same mind as those American capitals.

Ishihara's temptation was actually not his original intention. Let me ask you, is there any politician who doesn't understand the meaning of a media giant?

Unfortunately, the results of the trial were not good. White Capital’s response far exceeded their imagination. Looking at this posture now, it seems that we are planning to start from the root.

There is no doubt that the American people do not like Japan. They only resort to sneak attacks in wars. How can you make them feel friendly to such a despicable and shameless country?

In other words, they were two big killers, which made them feel bad. Then look at the miserable conditions in the two places, and feel a little sympathy.

But that's all. Once discovered by them, those wretched little dwarfs developed again. Ahem, look at how the thin red line is photographed.

There is only a thin red line between sanity and madness. To fight or not to fight, justice and evil, only wander on a thin line. This American proverb explains the madness of the Japanese very well.

This means that the Americans came up with the big killer first. If the Japanese came up with it first, I believe no one would be willing to fight with such a group of irrational guys.

"Boss, there seems to be a problem with our judgment."

"Haha, Andy, haven't you noticed that in recent years, there have been problems with our judgment.

After all, it is really thanks to the blessing of our ancestors that Dalmore has not closed down yet. Tell me, what happened this time? "

"Ahem, through Lehman Brothers, Kunpeng Technology successfully negotiated the acquisition of Cyrix. Next, apart from waiting for review by relevant agencies, there is probably no other possibility.

Ahem, affected by this news, the stocks of Big Blue and Motorola both fell. At least in the eyes of investors, Power PC is a big liability. "

"Damn, that's it, they're probably just trying to keep the price down."

The old guy is not stupid. The news has just come out, and it is impossible for the capital market to react so quickly. This can only show that there must be someone behind the scenes who is causing trouble.

"Well, Gordon, that's not it. In this case, they will not refuse our OEM request."

"Haha, old man, I'm afraid it's not that simple. People in the securities department told me that the stocks of Big Blue and Motorola have fallen. This is nothing. The problem is that there are obvious signs of short selling.

Think about it, if the same thing happened to us, those directors would tear us apart. "

"Well, yeah, it's really hard." Andy Grove sighed. Take Intel as an example. If the stock fell by 5%, tens of billions of market value would be evaporated. You make money by selling CPUs. To be honest, you can only make tens of billions in a year and a month?

They say that stocks are just paper wealth, but this is not necessarily true. The so-called paper wealth refers to those non-tradable stocks. Big Blue and Motorola basically have no such stocks anymore. So, if stocks keep falling...

As a professional manager, if you can bring wealth to shareholders, you can live a domineering life. Otherwise, you will be stepped on by ten thousand feet.

Look at Steve Jobs now. The stocks in his hands were all rewarded by the board of directors. As long as he can continue to create wealth, these guys will continue to indulge.

Can you imagine that it was the same group of people who kicked Steve Jobs out before?

William White used a conspiracy, using Power PCs that you don't need in exchange for the support of directors. If you are lucky, those fat-minded guys will make big money, and you can make small money.

Andy Grove even heard people in the securities department say that some impatient institutions were already secretly absorbing them. Look, William White raised his head, and they cooperated very actively.

It can be seen that a group of elites on Wall Street are not optimistic about the value of Cyrix and Power PC. If it weren't for the unanimous belief that getting rid of Power PC would be good for the stock price, such a weird scene would never have happened.

You know, Big Blue has just released the world's first copper-linked CPU. From the format to the production process to the scalability, to be honest, these two big guys from Intel are also very greedy.

However, even with a valuation of more than 400 billion US dollars, Intel cannot acquire it. They know very well that if AMD and IBM were not still struggling, the antitrust stick would have hit their heads long ago.

That is to say, there are still some servers, and Intel's CPUs basically monopolize more than 80% of the desktop CPU market. If you make an acquisition at this time, it will inevitably be deemed a monopoly.

"Andy, I have a bad feeling. One day, the little-known Kunpeng today will definitely become our opponent.

Moreover, this day will not be too long ago. "

"Well, it's time to take a closer look. The research and development of the Pentium III generation was not smooth. The increase in frequency did not bring much performance improvement. Moreover, due to the large accumulation of transistors, it also caused serious heat dissipation problems.

This is a desktop computer, but portable devices cannot hold it down. "

The two old guys do have a reason to have a headache. The stacking of transistors is not that wonderful.

Today's Intel mainly uses Pentium II processors for high-end products, while Celeron processors are used for mid-range and low-end products. Due to the good chip quality, many players can achieve stronger computing power through overclocking at a relatively low price.

Well, this is actually just being a rogue. In other words, in order to defeat other opponents, they have done everything they can.

It's just a dimensionality reduction attack. The original 600 Hz frequency was downgraded to 400 Hz for sale.

Hehe, if AMD is still ignorant, it is probably not far from death. Isn't that how Cyrix was killed?

Of course, the two old guys also covet Power PC. However, they are not optimistic about this acquisition.

First of all, since you are a company in the Lion City, you are destined to be non-mainstream.
