For Mr. Swan, today is definitely the darkest day since he took the position of Intel ceo.

No, to be precise, not only for him, but for the entire Intel, this is definitely the most desperate day of the half century.

Even if the five semiconductor companies of the Japanese nation jointly formed the VLSI research institute, the price of the chip will be reduced from 26 US dollars to 5 US dollars. When the cheap and reliable 64K chip quickly occupied the North American market, it would not feel like this. Despair.

At least, they still have the power to fight back.

Now, the technology they are proud of, and the brilliance they have achieved in the field of carbon-based chips, are not worth mentioning in the face of the wheel of the times.

Especially the old fox sitting across the conference table, a pair of soy beans in the eyes filled with cockroaches, in addition to him can not see a little bit of pleasant colors.

However, although the process was difficult, when he came out of the conference room, it felt like the burden of unloading eight hundred pounds, and the whole person was relaxed.

In any case, the outcome of applying for bankruptcy protection is finally avoided.

"what's the result?"

Seeing that Swan came out of the conference room, Mayberry, who had been pacing back and forth at the door, immediately rushed up.

The current situation does not allow him to be in a hurry.

After all, this is related to whether he can still go to the position of cto.

There is no doubt that he is an expert in the field of chips. He can become a chief technology officer and rely on his own strength.

However, when silicon-based chips are being completely replaced, this is a poor guarantee and confidence, and the fragility is thinner than a piece of paper...

"...I don't want to discuss this topic now."

Looking at Mebery with a blank expression, Swan’s throat moved and continued.

"I just want to find a place to stay alone for a while."

"Then, drink something."

Looking at Swan's head and not going back to the other side of the corridor, Mayberry stared in the direction for a while.

He was the first time he saw it.

This Mr. Swan, who can make decisions calmly and calmly under any circumstances, will actually show such a tired expression...

......

There is no benefit to letting Intel fail.

Even if the political risks caused by this and the big environment of free trade become difficult, it is not a good thing in terms of the objective law of market development.

As long as the US demand for chips is still there, even if an Intel is down, a new semiconductor company will soon emerge to replace its position in the North American market.

Although the battle was won, Warwick’s management was very clear-headed, and the innovation ability of the North American semiconductor industry was not weak, and it could even be said to be strong.

Instead of giving birth to a new Intel, commanding a group of more creative minds to compete with them, it is better to keep the notorious toothpaste factory.

After all, if Intel really goes bankrupt, letting a company hold hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, and relying on MIT and Wall Street's Silicon Valley startup to take over Intel's lab, the situation will become troublesome.

An elephant suffering from a big business illness and a bloated body is far safer than a group of hungry wolves with fresh blood and flexible movements. Even putting this elephant in this fragile ecosystem can help them suppress the living space of other beasts.

Of course, if this elephant can't continue to survive, in the brutal market competition, a group of hungry wolves who hang on their fat body will die.

It doesn't really make sense to say these things.

Riverside Hotel.

In this five-star hotel, which is said to have a small 100-year history, a banquet is going on.

To be precise, it is a celebration feast.

In order to celebrate the success of the product launch conference and to celebrate a bright future, Warwick has packaged the entire hotel for three days. It seems that it is intended to put the mid-year report summary together.

Sitting alone on a table, between the two sides, Wang Zhengfei, with a red face on his face, smiled and said to Lu Zhou.

"Is going back to Jinling tomorrow?"

Lu Zhou thought about it and said, "About the day after tomorrow, there is a small meeting at imcrc, and I have to go around tomorrow."

Although he has been fishing for more than half a year, the "opportunity to exercise" has been thrown to his appointed successor, Luo Shixiong, but he also hangs the position of chairman of the board. Without revealing it, other participants will inevitably have some whispers.

After all, when imcrc was just established, the Chinese government did not vote through the committee and directly assigned the chairman of the board of directors, so that the other participants of this international scientific research organization still have some complaints.

If there is only one country in the world that is willing to pay and has the ability to build this collider on the moon, they have already turned their faces.

"Is that lunar plane Hadron collider?"

"Yes."

Seeing Lu Zhou nodded, Wang Zhengfei said with emotion: "Or you young people have energy. If I have so much work on my body, I can't eat it anymore."

The chief designer of the Lunar Track Construction Committee, director of imcrc, the second-in-command of a national key scientific research project, the leader of an international scientific research cooperation project.

Not to mention the Jinling University and the position of the Institute of Advanced Studies.

If you change your personal, don't say that you are doing something else, I am afraid that I will not even have time to eat all day long.

"In fact, it's okay. I don't need to worry too much about things outside of the study. I don't think there is any tiring thing to do things that I like." I took a sip of champagne and suddenly thought of one thing, Lu Zhou asked. "Speaking, have you talked to Intel?"

"Talked," Wang Zhengfei said. "At the end of the product launch, their ceo can't wait to find it."

In fact, not just Intel, including Qualcomm, there are already five North American semiconductor companies and they have contacted them privately.

Obviously, this so-called industry coalition is not as strong as it seems.

Lu Zhou: "It's convenient to disclose, is it talked about?"

When I heard this question from Lu Zhou, Wang Zhengfei smiled mysteriously and erected three fingers.

"Two guarantee one agreement."

Upon hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou’s eyebrows slightly raised a look of interest.

After the advent of carbon-based chips, silicon-based chips have become thinner. The lithography machines that were originally banned are sold on the market, and they are not necessarily able to find buyers. After all, China has not imported garbage.

However, Warwick and Intel can actually achieve cooperation, presumably because Intel still has the ability to enter the eyes of Wang’s eyes.

Although he is not interested in business matters, he is still a bit curious about what this chip is.

"What to exchange?"

"Change to the North American market!"

Upon hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou squatted slightly, but soon his face showed a slight smile.

"It seems that we are a big winner this time."

After hearing this sentence, Wang Zhengfei laughed and his eyes smashed into a crescent.

“A big win! It’s okay!”

In a good mood, he raised the cup in his hand and handed it over to Lu Zhou.

"Thanks to your Dragon! I have to honor you for this glass of wine!"

Lu Zhou and he touched the next cup and smiled and nodded.

"Our dragon."
