Chapter 1546 Feng Shui turns
Shauna Boller is a good deal of killing and burying. It is enough to develop high-performance chips, but Gao Yang is not. Shauna Boller has enough reputation and is highly valued at Onyx Technology, and is also an honorary director of Chuke Technology.
No matter what happens, Chen Chu will not do anything to Xiaona Boller, but Gao Yang is different. He still has to stay in Onyx Technology for countless years.
"The chip matter should be handled as soon as possible. At the latest in the first half of next year, Onyx Technology will release the second generation of smartphones. The design of the entire smartphone must be based on chips. This matter cannot be delayed!" Chen Chu explained to Xiaona Boller a few words to Gao Yang.
Hearing Chen Chu's words, Gao Yang could only nod. Although Chen Chu had strict requirements for the chip laboratory, he gave enough resources. Almost all the requirements put forward by the chip laboratory were supported by Chen Chu.
After talking about the new generation of chips, Shauna Boller winked at Gao Yang. After Gao Yang went out, Shauna Boller said to Chen Chu, "Chen, when I returned to North America last time, I heard some rumors, you will definitely be interested!"
Looking at Shauna Boller's mysterious appearance, Chen Chu said, "What the hell is it?"
"Chen, I heard that Fairchild Semiconductor seems to be intentional about selling it!" Shauna Boller had a different meaning in his expression.
He is also from Fairchild Semiconductor, but unlike the eight famous figures who left Fairchild Semiconductor, he was kicked out because of his disagreement with Fairchild Semiconductor's board of directors.
The last time he returned to North America, Shauna Boller was back in glory, but his old boss Fairchild Semiconductor had a bad life, and there were rumors of bankruptcy.
And this time it seems that I can't hold on anymore. It is rumored that this time, Anderson Semiconductor in North America has extended an olive branch to Fairchild Semiconductor, hoping to take down this former "Silicon Valley Western Point".
When Shauna Boller heard this news, he suddenly had a bold idea. As a person who was driven out by Fairchild Semiconductor, if he could kill Fairchild Semiconductor again, then for Shauna Boller, this life would definitely be a legend.
But how to go back is a problem. As the person who was kicked out, even if Shauna Boller wants to go back, it will only make Fairchild Semiconductor admit defeat. There is no more suitable "return" method than acquiring the other party. It will stage a real version of yesterday's love to ignore it and today's unsatisfactory drama...
But with Shauna Boller's own strength, even if he can bring some support from Silicon Valley and Wall Street, it will cost at least 2 billion US dollars to acquire the current Fairchild Semiconductor. Shauna Boller's face is not that valuable.
So Shauna Boller thought of Chen Chu, especially when he heard that Chen Chu cashed out huge amounts of funds in North America and acquired a semiconductor company, it may be a huge problem for Shauna Boller, but for Chen Chu, it was just a simple task.
"Although Fairchild Semiconductor has declined, as a pioneer in the global semiconductor industry, Fairchild still has a large number of technologies and patents. Although it is not the top one, if it can be won, it will be sufficiently improved for Onyx Technology's chip strength."
Shauna Boller is not a qualified lobbyist, but in order to be Hu Hansan, he still tried hard to praise the half-dead Fairy Child Semiconductor.
"Although Fairchild Semiconductor now has technology, there is no market for its products. After Onyx Technology acquired it, Fairchild Semiconductor only needs to provide chip technology for Onyx Technology. Fairchild Semiconductor has 6,500 mature chip research and development and technical talents, which is what Onyx Technology needs the most!"
As for the series of titles and history of Fairchild Semiconductor, Shauna Boller didn't say much, but just like IBM, no matter how you live now, any rumors about Fairchild Semiconductor will make everyone know. After all, Fairchild is the origin of Silicon Valley, and too many people have something to do with it.
In Silicon Valley, more than 130 Nasdaq listed companies have been influenced by Fairchild Semiconductor, of which more than 70% of the founders were from Fairchild Semiconductor. The total staff of these companies exceeded 210,000. There are so many people in Intel alone, AMD. It is conceivable how many people are paying attention to it.
As long as you acquire Fairchild Semiconductor, not to mention how many technologies you can get, it is enough to be famous directly, and it will become the most popular existence in the semiconductor industry in one fell swoop!
Shauna Boller thought that Chen Chu would be very interested in this matter. Chen Chu has always been unlimited in investing in technology, and he would do whatever he wants. For example, the dual-core processor developed this time requires an audio decoding technology.
In order to obtain this key exclusive technology, the Chip Laboratory tentatively proposed to Onyx Technology and Chuke Technology Headquarters to acquire the company holding the patent.
This company holds multiple audio chip decoding patents and technologies, and also holds exclusive technology to add Wifi and Bluetooth to the chip. It is also the core technology supplier of Apple's iPod audio system. Almost all major MP3 brands around the world use this company's audio decoder technology to a greater or lesser extent.
Originally, the Chip Laboratory made this proposal just a tentative approach. After all, in order to obtain some audio technology, it directly used more than US$350 million to acquire it. This is unreliable no matter how you look at it.
But unexpectedly, when Chen Chu was in North America, he directly agreed to the acquisition agreement, spending more than US$300 million to acquire this company in the audio chip field as a whole!
For a technology, Chen Chu is willing to spend so much money, so Xiaona Boller feels that Chen Chu should be very interested in his proposal this time.
But beyond his expectations, Chen Chu seemed to be a little interested and just turned the cup in his hand, and didn't seem to care much about this matter.
"Chen, this is worth it. I promise that the acquisition of Fairchild Semiconductor will not lose. Even if there is a loss, I am willing to make up for it. Even if I work for a few more years, I will compensate with my salary!" Seeing that Chen Chu seemed indifferent, Xiaona Boller finally said anxiously.
Seeing Shauna Boller's expression, Chen Chu finally spoke, waved his hand to Shauna Boller, and asked him to sit down. If this acquisition is really a loss, Chen Chu felt that he would probably not be able to compensate until he retired.
"Xiao Na, I did not reject the acquisition of Fairchild Semiconductor, but whether it is worth it or whether it can pass the review of the North American Semiconductor Industry Association. The acquisition funds are not the biggest issue!" Chen Chu said.
Hearing Chen Chu's words, Xiaona Boller was a little dissatisfied, "This acquisition is of course worth it. No matter how unbearable Fairchild Semiconductor is, it is also the top 50 semiconductor company in North America. If it is not worth it, would it be to acquire ARM?"
The last sentence was just an angry word, but Chen Chu's words made Xiaona Boller stunned there, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Of course, ARM wants to acquire it. As long as there is a chance, ARM is willing to sell it, then Chuke Technology will acquire it at all costs!"
When Chen Chu said this, he did not hesitate at all, but made Xiaona Bore completely stunned. What price is ARM? Although its current market value is less than 8 billion US dollars, this is because of the emergence of smartphones that ARM's market value has soared from the previous market value of 1.7 billion US dollars to nearly 8 billion US dollars.
However, if you want to acquire ARM, it is probably not the same price. Even if the premium is three or four times, it is probably possible.
Chen Chu was willing to spend huge amounts of money on ARM, but he didn't have much interest in Fairchild Semiconductor, which made Xiaona Boller quite helpless for a while.
Looking at Shauna Boller, Shauna Boller has worked hard for the Onyx chip laboratory without any hiding his own personal information. Chen Chu did not want him to retire with regret.
After thinking about it, Chen Chu said, "Xiao Na, Onyx Technology will compete with Anderson for the controlling stake in Fairchild Semiconductor, but the premise is that it can pass the review!"
"Chen, you will never regret this decision." Xiaona Boller was naturally very happy about Chen Chu's decision.
Chen Chu is not as happy as Xiaona Boller. Fairchild Semiconductor is not as good as before, but he cannot stand his reputation. Those people in North America may not be willing to watch Fairchild Semiconductor be acquired by Onyx Technology.
After staying in the chip laboratory for a while, Chen Chu went to various laboratories such as electronic screens, graphics cards, materials, etc. Basically, it can be said that the development is smooth and the technology continues to surpass his peers.
However, this is due to the huge investment of Onyx Technology. A large part of Onyx Technology's profits are invested in these technologies. Otherwise, Onyx's product revenue would be much higher.
When Chen Chu, Xiaona Boro, Gao Yang and others entered the conference room, there were already a group of Onyx Technology executives, Onyx Technology president Tang Zhouming, General Manager He Yaoguo, Marketing Department Director Duan Qingmei, Production Department Manager Chang Qingheng and others.
However, in addition to the previous executives, there were a few more people this time. In addition to Fu Ziguo who came to join in the fun today, Zhang Yanchuan, who is currently promoted to the chief designer of Onyx Technology, Ning Yanlin, the head of the system department, and others, were all present.
Ning Yanlin and Zhang Yanchuan both rose rapidly in Onyx technology after the release of Onyx smartphones.
The big sale of Onyx smartphones has rapidly improved the status of the department heads behind Onyx smartphones.
Zhang Yanchuan becomes the chief designer of Onyx Technology. In the future, Zhang Yanchuan will complete the design of Onyx mobile phones, e-readers and other products. He will also become one of the real power figures of Onyx Technology.
Not to mention Ning Yanlin, the system software department he is in charge of is almost no less than a few major laboratories within Onyx Technology. After all, in the era of smartphones, shells and parts can be replaced, but systems and software cannot be replaced. This naturally makes Ning Yanlin and system software more important.
