Lighthouse Country Nine Points.

As soon as Kevin Rollins arrived at the company and sat down on the chair, the phone on his desk rang.

"Ling ring ring~"

Kevin Rollins put down his sandwich and coffee and picked up the phone: "Who is that?"

"President, it's me." Oliver Schwartz said.

"Is it settled?" Kevin Rollins asked.

"No, the original opinions between the two parties were not consistent, but the other party made new conditions." Oliver Schwartz said.

"What terms?" Kevin Rollins asked.

"Three hundred million dollars plus IBM's existing stores and sales channels." Oliver Schwartz said.

"You communicate with the other party tomorrow. You can only give him a maximum of 200 million U.S. dollars. If the other party is not willing, don't talk." Kevin Rollins hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

IBM's biggest loss is its existing stores and sales channels.

Stores require high capital to support.

Channels require a large number of employees to maintain.

If these two are separated, future losses will definitely be greatly reduced.

But IBM will lose its business capabilities after splitting these two things.

Without business capabilities, how can there be revenue?

Without revenue, IBM can only continue to lose money, but this is also good for IBM.

It will be easier to transform if you lose these two burdens.

Such an IBM would be easier to sell.

The IBM brand alone can be sold for 300 to 400 million yuan, not to mention the patents held by IBM's personal computer division.

These patents are good stuff for Dell.

Kevin Rollins does not intend to sell these patents. If he wants to sell them, he will only sell the IBM brand.

This is why he is willing to sell IBM's existing stores and channels to Cao Mang.

As for whether this business is a loss or a profit?

Although Dell still has to bear IBM's debt.

But in Kevin Rollins’ opinion, Dell made a lot of money.

Not only did he get the bad-brained kid, he also got rid of IBM's burden.

You must know that even if the business of Rotten Brain Baby is no longer in the political procurement business, it will still be the leader of Huaxia brand computers.

Rotten Brain Baby's powerful sales system allows Dell to quickly dominate the Chinese retail market.

After acquiring Cao Mang's shares.

Kevin Rollins will take this shithead private and make it part of Dell.

Then the Rotten Brain Baby brand will be slowly transformed into Dell, and Dell will become China's largest personal computer supplier.

Kevin Rollins' idea is very beautiful.

I don't know what the result will be.

It's not that Kevin Rollins' thinking is incorrect.

In fact, his idea is correct, even HP would do the same thing.

It’s unclear whether reality will turn out as he wishes.

This is the only way for enterprise expansion.

Just like Cao Mang wants to acquire IBM's stores and sales channels.

Kirin's acquisition of these two things is equivalent to access to sales stores and channels around the world.

Kirin only needs a few adjustments to be able to do global business.

IBM failed because their marketing and products failed.

But changing these stores and channels to sell Kirin products will not necessarily lead to failure.

...

Intel Headquarters in Santa Clara, California.

Intel convened another board meeting today.

Craig Barrett sat in the chair like a prisoner awaiting trial by the board members.

Because Kirin Group broke through 65 nanometers and the failure of mobile platforms.

There are a lot of mobile platform shipments.

But you can't make any money at all.

Let’s talk about the PC business.

Although Kirin's withdrawal from the low-end market has allowed them to regain a lot of market share.

But Kirin has invaded the high-end market.

No matter which industry is good, the high-end market is the most profitable, even Intel is no exception.

Now Intel has failed to come up with a product that can compete with Kirin.

If things go on like this, Intel will definitely lose the entire high-end market, and by then they will be like AMD.

It can only make some small money by fighting in the low-end market, and the board of directors does not want to see such a situation.

The only way is to seek change.

Either Craig Barrett comes up with a corresponding method.

Or they will replace the people in power.

Choose one of the two.

Either Craig Barrett comes up with a plan, or he changes.

"Craig, we agreed when you wanted to enter the mobile market, but the results you produced were not very easy.

If the mobile market doesn’t make money, then forget it.

The PC market has also lost some market share.

Until now, Intel has not been able to come up with a product that can compete with Kirin.

You must give everyone an explanation.

Otherwise, you can go back to your hometown to farm after Christmas." Jason Connelly said.

Craig Barrett was also very helpless when faced with the other party's questioning.

The lithography machine is beyond his control. Who knows that Kirin Group can transform the lithography machine?

As for mobile platforms?

Isn’t it normal to invade a market and pay first?

At least they didn't lose money on the mobile platform.

In fact, Craig Barrett knew that the real purpose of the board of directors was to get him to issue a military order.

As long as he issues a military order.

Then he can stay in this position for another year, if he can turn the situation around next year.

Then he can continue to stay in this position.

If it cannot be reversed.

As Jason Connery said, he could only go to the countryside to farm.

"Every director should be well aware that competition on mobile platforms is fierce, but Intel has not suffered any losses so far.

Mobile platforms take time to develop.

The R&D department has developed a new Atom low-power series. This series of CPUs is designed for mobile platforms.

I believe this series of CPUs will definitely shine on mobile platforms.

As for the PC market, I believe that after the core processor comes out.

Intel will definitely reach its peak again.

I believe that Intel will reach new heights under my leadership next year.

If I can't give you a good result next year.

I will take the blame and resign," said Craig Barrett.

The old man Jack Terrason sitting on the left side of the conference room said: "Craig, we need you to set a clear goal, rather than trying to make things difficult for us here."

"Don't worry, Director Jack, I will send the relevant reports and market targets to your mailbox before get off work this afternoon," said Craig Barrett.

After getting reply from Craig Barrett.

The directors in the conference room discussed in twos and threes.

Although the voices of these directors were not loud, Craig Barrett heard them clearly.

In fact, these words were said to him on purpose.

Otherwise, how would Craig Barrett set this goal?

If you order too much, you won't be able to complete it; if you order too little, the board of directors will be dissatisfied.

Somehow, Craig Barrett needs to get some news.
