Chapter 217 Is the 1982 Sprite a good Sprite?

Facing the young man with the repeater in front of him, Yang Xu was so angry that he couldn't speak.

I really don’t know how to say no!

Don't slap someone in the face!

Don’t you know if BMD is dual-core?

Frankly speaking, he has no way to refute whether BMD is truly dual-core, as that is a completely different technical path.

If Intel takes the path of dual-core or even multi-core and gives up on increasing floating-point computing power, it will be a complete betrayal of Moore's Law.

It's not his place to talk about Zhi Tong.

After Yang Xu took a few deep breaths, he calmed down and said, "Mr. Qing, let's be frank. You can just make an offer and they can continue to negotiate."

Qing Yun smiled at this moment and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yang. I heard that you are very knowledgeable in tasting famous wines?"

Yang Xu was stunned for a moment and felt suffocated in her heart. The negotiation skills of that Green Hook doll were so evil!

Not at all like a young man.

In fact, Yang Xu felt that the boy walking in front of him was a younger version of Qin Tianchuan.

In front of him, you can just say a few words of self-effacement, "Mr. Qing is so complimentary. I don't think he is good at it. There is no such thing as 'appreciation'."

Qing Yun laughed and said, "Mr. Yang, you're too polite. Who outside the industry doesn't know your reputation as a wine tasting master? I heard that you are a guest sommelier at Changyu Winery."

Yang Xu felt a little irritable, "Why, Mr. Qing, do you want to treat him to a drink?"

I won’t be able to seduce you tomorrow!

Qing Yun touched her nose and said sheepishly, "Mr. Yang, he is not a student and cannot drink."

There was a sound of coughing in the conference room.

Children? Eat NeiNei’s children ruthlessly!

Yang Xu's neck twitched when he saw the wrong face. Qing Yun smiled slightly and said, "He heard that the 1982 Lafite was very good. What do you think, Mr. Yang?"

Yang Xu curled his lips, "82 was a very special year. They will now say that the grape growing conditions that year were very favorable. Sunlight, rainfall and temperature all cooperated very well. Therefore, the quality of grape planting and winemaking was excellent.

Nian Keli is also very strong.

But in fact, at that time, almost all tasters and wine magazines were not optimistic about the wines of that year, saying that those wines were not suitable for storage, the taste would fade quickly, and the lifespan was relatively short.

He believed that because the output of Lafite was particularly large that year, the winery did some gimmicks and it was just a matter of promotion.

From his personal perspective, the quality of the 1982 Lafite is indeed good, but it is not much better than other vintages.”

Qing Yun nodded, "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading!

Mr. Yang, Lafite can promote sales, but I wonder if Intel can promote sales?

88% off, two 8%, is too full. The Chinese believe in "when the moon is full, it will lose money". That is not a good thing. Please know how to cherish blessings.

So, does he think 82 is a good number? You think the Lafite of 1982 is good, and that young man like him thinks the Sprite of 1982 is also pretty good.

What do you think?"

Chen Yue on the side almost burst out laughing, the youngest was simply kidding.

Very much like the Sprite of 1982...

Give it to me so I can drink?

Zhou Bin, who was in charge of production, covered his forehead and felt that the new boss's idea was a bit...too shameless.

He doesn't bother to be fashionable about Lafite, and Sprite isn't his favorite drink either.

This is not a joke technique in negotiations, he can understand it.

But if the 12% off is included in the annual sales rebate that is common in the industry, then it is beyond the 20% off.

Isn't that bargaining, or is it humiliating Intel.

Yang Xu, who was facing the other side, raised his eyebrows and looked at Qing Yun with a joking expression, "Mr. Qing, would you please think about what you said? The price he gave me was already the highest in Intel's history.

It’s a discount. He feels that you lack the basic sincerity in negotiating.”

Qing Yun spread his legs and said, "Mr. Yang, you might as well put yourself in his position and think about it. Putting aside the discounts, he can get the same discounts I am offering now at BMD.

Although the main frequency of XP2800+ is not as good as ours at 2.25G, and the FSB is not as good as ours at 333MHz, its overall operating speed is faster than Intel's P4-2.6G. What does that mean? He thinks it is self-evident.

In terms of price alone, Intel's P4-2.6G sells for about US$218, while the BMD athlonXP2800+ summer sale price is about US$166.

If we want to take the initiative in the market, we will definitely carry out price cuts during the two golden sales months of school and October. But now that the Yanhuang Group is picking up goods at that price, it is completely unreasonable to take advantage of the situation.

So, now that we are negotiating with him at that price, who lacks sincerity?"

Yang Xu shook his head helplessly, "Sorry, Mr. Qing, that's not because they did it intentionally, but because Intel's price mechanism is like this.

You are right, they will reduce prices during the back-to-school season, but not now. At that time, Intel will not increase prices."

Qing Yun shrugged, "Look, we don't have an advantage in CPU prices, the motherboard is..."

Yang Xu interrupted him, "The motherboard is here, but BMD does not develop its own motherboard. It does not have that industrial layout, so I can buy it from other board manufacturers, and the price of the board manufacturer will not be higher than that due to the licensing fee.

They're cheap."

Qing Yun smiled, "In April next year, Intel and VIA reached a settlement agreement. VIA had to withdraw from the desktop CPU market in exchange for a tripartite cross-license from Intel, BMD, and VIA, so he didn't think so.

VIA motherboards are not available at this time."

Yang Xu fell silent.

He really wanted to slap those old guys at Intel.

The lawsuit with VIA was settled at that time!

Without VIA's help back then, how could BMD be so strong now?

Three years of litigation directly reduced VIA, the king of board cards, which once had a market share of 70%, to a single-digit market share.

Now, just when he was going all out to kill him completely, Ming Jin suddenly withdrew his troops.

In Yang Xu's view, the temporary decadence of the CPU market is not fatal.

If the strangulation of VIA is completed, BMD, which has design capabilities but no self-production capabilities, can be manipulated by the industry chain.

At that time, all the lost markets will be back, and BMD can still rely on Intel to survive.

Yang Xuminghong, BMD is a friend that cannot be failed. The rules do not allow there to be a chip manufacturer in that world, but it can make it difficult.

At this time, if the Yanhuang Group's own tax control machine market with annual sales of several million units shifts to BMD, not only will BMD's momentum become more rampant, but VIA will also come back to life completely.

Seeing Yang Xu closing her eyes and thinking, Qing Yun smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, if you correct the reality that Yanhuang Group's attack on the tax control machine market will not cause price leakage, is there such a thing?

Did they implement the price reduction policy in advance?

Of course, as for whether it is easy to explain, they can sign a supplementary agreement in addition to the normal agreement to agree on the basic price after the price reduction. At the same time, they also sign a confidentiality agreement and will not disclose that point. He wants to control Bu Nao for several months.

Time, is there room for manipulation? What do you think?"
