Chapter 199 Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge
Is it OK to acquire amd?
Of course, if your technical strength is strong enough.
Huaxin Technology has a ASON platform, which is enough to compete with x86 and gain the upper hand. In terms of CPU chip design, anyone with a discerning eye can see that even now, Amd cannot produce products that compete with ASON CPU, let alone Intel and Texas Instruments.
Besides, Huaxin Technology has obtained a large amount of basic authorization for X86 architectures during its technology exchange with Texas Instruments. For Huaxin Technology, what is the use of spending a lot of money to acquire Amd?
"Of course it's useful. Let's test the US's reaction first. Ultramicrophone AMD is a top semiconductor company in the United States after all. Putting aside the US laws, whether it's the US official or ordinary people, their reactions have a great impact on the results!"
"Mr. Wang, amd's market value is more than 5 billion US dollars. Even if there is no other resistance, we Huaxin Technology does not have enough financial resources to complete this acquisition."
Wang Anran smiled and said, "We will have enough funds soon, Rebs, what we have to do now is pave the way for this goal!"
Short selling Southeast Asian financial markets or U.S. high-tech stocks?
Huaxin Technology has only had these two major actions recently.
As for the main chip and software business, although the profit is good, it is for the strong R&D funding demand.
Rebs realized that Wang was betting on the future. He didn't know where Mr. Wang got his confidence or information that he could not access at his level.
However, no matter what the source of the information is, Rebs always believes that placing the future in the illusory financial market may push Huaxin Technology into a state of no return.
"Mr. Wang, does the company's future business need to increase its financial investment part?"
Wang Anran shook his head and said, "It is not surprising that Huaxin Technology does some of these aspects appropriately, but not as the main business, but referring to internationally renowned companies."
"However, financial reports show that Huaxin Technology has to borrow 200 million to 300 million US dollars worth of various currencies internationally every month and then convert them into US dollars. Our financial expenditure has reached 20%. Only 20% of this part of the loan is used for the company's development, and all the others are invested in US stocks. Mr. Wang, this situation may not last long."
Rebs was puzzled that international giants usually only used a small amount of money to make some financial investments or acquire some companies with related businesses.
As for Huaxin Technology, it has devoted all its efforts to gambling. Yes, this is gambling, and Rebs is deeply worried about this.
"Mr. Wang, have you become more radical?"
Wang Anran waved his hand and knew very well that he would have opposed it. Fortunately, Huaxin Technology is under the control of Wang Anran. At critical moments, he does not need to seek anyone's opinions.
"No need to mention this matter. I understand everyone's thoughts, don't worry!"
Don't worry, can you go to the right place? Rebs shook his head. He hoped that Wang Anran would bet right this time, otherwise... it would be unimaginable.

Anderson finally got back to the top, and among all CPU chip manufacturers, the advantages of Texas Instruments are obvious.
"We have the Athlon instruction set architecture and the x86 instruction set architecture, and we also have advanced design and top manufacturing capabilities. Mr. Anderson, I finally understand why you are willing to cooperate with a Chinese company.
Not only is there no patent, but we have also obtained a lot of incredible technologies. What impressed me was that their thinking on branch prediction algorithms has surpassed us too much."
Anderson shook his head and said, "Brook, you know, it's impossible for Texas Instruments to always be behind a Chinese company. It's not in our interests, nor in our pursuit."
When launching the world's most powerful CPU, no matter who it is put on, expansion is inevitable. Moreover, Texas Instruments is an industry overlord, but it was just a nap and was surpassed by the younger brother behind it.
And now, Anderson thought it was time to consider breaking up.
How to distinguish it, whether it can be opened in technology, and what price does Texas Instruments have to pay?
"The contract we signed with Huaxin Technology is only two years old. After the two years expire, both of us have the right to choose independently. From my personal point of view, I do not recommend tearing the contract up now.
Because of the tearing, our processors will have to suspend sales. The reason is very simple. The contract is mainly achieved by patent exchange."
"Attorney Chrisman, you should be very clear that every piece of processor we sell is equivalent to Huaxin Technology. Oh, no, it is Huawei Software, it is the same anyway.
It means that they have released a Hongmeng SSP system, which means that the DDR memory has been recognized by more people, and the Hongmeng SSP system and the DDR memory are in their hands, not us."
Chrisman shrugged and said, "Mr. Anderson, this is poison."
"Well, that's the poison, then what I want to ask is whether it's feasible for us to use their technology on the x86 architecture, and what legal risks are there."
Brooke nodded in understanding.
"What we need is their ideas, bold but effective design ideas. Mr. Anderson, I can say it clearly, yes, but before that, I think we still need some patent authorization of Intel. After all, we have lost too much in the x86 architecture."
Chrisman took a sip of water and said, "If this is the case, we just need to be prepared to be sued by Huaxin Technology!"
Anderson shook his head and said, "Attorney Chrisman, Texas Instruments hired you as our legal officer to solve the problem for us. Well, then you are ready to win this lawsuit in court!"
“…”
Brooke stood up and said, "Maybe no, Mr. Anderson, I think Texas Instruments has a lot of things that Huaxin Technology wants, or we can sign another contract."
"It's not that easy. If negotiations are restarted, I think Huaxin Technology will definitely put forward conditions that are unbearable for us."
Brooke shrugged and said, "No matter what the conditions are, it should not be as good as our future of re-dominated desktop processors."
Anderson nodded and said, "I think so too, and that's why I invite you here today."
"Change my heart and become a new person, will you give me this opportunity?"
