It’s not that Xue Zhihe can’t purchase Kirin’s products directly.

After all, the price/performance ratio of Kirin products is there.

In the past, he would have chosen to purchase Kirin servers without even thinking about it.

e

This is what he did when there were no third-party shareholders.

But things are different now.

Mate has more than a dozen large and small shareholders, and he doesn't want to leave anyone with any complaints.

In fact, those shareholder representatives were not willing to attend the meeting, but Xue Zhihe invited them to attend and they could not refuse.

As long as Mate makes money, it doesn't matter whose products it is purchased from.

It is normal for CEOs to make a little money through their positions.

Let alone the CEO.

Even small employees in the company will use their positions in the company to make money when given the opportunity.

...

It was exactly half past two when Xue Zhihe arrived at the conference room on the fifth floor.

At this time, representatives of major shareholders were already waiting in the conference room.

"Mate in the past year..." Xue Zhihe first introduced the past situation, and then introduced mate's current situation.

“With the increase in Mate’s users and the expansion of its gaming business, it won’t be long before Mate’s existing servers can no longer support operations.

Existing servers..." Xue Zhihe introduced the situation of existing servers.

Old technology, slow operation speed, and high electricity bills.

No matter what the reason is, it will invisibly increase mate's operating costs.

"So I plan to carry out a one-time collective replacement of Mate's existing servers. The cost of replacing the servers this time will cost about US$1.1 billion." Xue Zhihe finished speaking and glanced at Ruiko Bowman.

Rico Bowman distributed the printed documents in his hand to the shareholder representatives present.

"This is a quote from four companies: Intel, IBM, AMD and Kirin Group." Xue Zhihe said after Riko Bowman sent the quote.

Originally, these shareholders didn't really care about this meeting.

But after they heard that it would cost $1.1 billion, they had to carefully look at the report in front of them.

After all, the purchase amount this time is so huge that they wouldn't even bother to look at it if it were only tens of millions.

1.1 billion is not a small number.

If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to explain it to your boss.

...

Fifteen minutes later.

JP Morgan representative Farhad Khamis asked: "Mr. Xue, is the server of Kirin Group really as reported?"

The same number of servers, the same memory, the same hard disk, the only difference is the CPU.

Intel's quotation is more than 900 million.

IBM also has more than 900 million.

AMD's cheapest is just over 700 million.

The most expensive offer from Kirin Group is 1.1 billion.

Xue Zhihe has said before that this purchase will probably cost more than 1.1 billion.

Then report the quote to them.

This is obviously telling them to choose Kirin's server.

"The report you have is from EKL. It is not an internal test report of the company. Kirin also sent samples, and the data is the same as the EKL test report." Xue Zhihe said.

According to EKL’s report, although Kirin’s products are hundreds of millions of dollars more expensive than the other three companies.

However, the performance of Kirin's products is more than 2 times higher than that of other companies, and its power consumption is 65%-78% lower than that of other companies.

To put it simply, Qilin wins.

"The products of Kirin Group are indeed better than the other three companies, and Kirin Group is also a shareholder of mate. I agree with this purchase plan." said George Moyes of Bank of America.

Kirin Group's products are made using a 65-nanometer process, and it will take at least four to five years to use Kirin Group's products.

The products of the other three companies all use 90nm technology.

In terms of performance, it is only 20-30% faster than their existing servers.

There is no difference at all whether it is replaced or not.

Replacing their products can only take a year or two at most.

From a "money" perspective, it is most cost-effective to switch to products from the Kirin Group.

As for the other three?

That's something you don't have to think about at all.

As for whether their 65nm products will be better than Kirin’s?

There is no need to consider this issue.

Because we don’t know when they will be able to produce 65nm products.

Even if it comes out, it may not be better than Qilin's.

The most critical issue is that Kirin can no longer withstand the situation. If we don’t change the server, it will be no longer possible in two months.

Of course, in addition to changing the server, adding a server can also be solved.

It’s just that the electricity bill is really terrible.

You must know that electricity bills in Europe are not as cheap as those in China.

After George Moyes unified the purchase plan, other shareholders also agreed to the plan.

...

at the same time.

Yahoo headquarters in Sunnyvale, California.

Feng Zidao was led by his secretary to the office of "Yahoo Chief".

"Hello, Mr. Yang, I am Feng Zidao, General Sales Manager of Kirin Electronics America." Feng Zidao said respectfully, handing over his business card with both hands.

"Mr. Feng, we are all Chinese, just speak Chinese to me." Yang Zhiyuan said after taking the business card.

"It's good to speak Chinese, it's good to speak Chinese." Feng Zidao said with a smile.

"Mr. Feng, I wonder why you came to Yahoo this time?" Yang Zhiyuan asked.

"Mr. Yang, you should know that our Kirin Group has successfully developed a 65-nanometer lithography machine and independently produced 65-nanometer chips." Feng Zidao asked.

"I know." Yang Zhiyuan nodded.

This matter caused such a big fuss in the Lighthouse Country, and he would be really deaf if he didn't know.

Feng Zidao took out a brochure printed on coated paper from his shoulder bag.

"Our Kirin Group will officially enter the server industry from this month. Our servers use Nuwa S2 chips..." Feng Zidao handed the brochure to Yang Zhiyuan.

Then Barabara introduced.

This lecture lasted ten minutes.

"Mr. Yang, I believe that after listening to my introduction just now, you should understand the advantages of our Kirin server.

I hope your company can consider Kirin servers when purchasing servers." Feng Zidao said with a smile.

Jerry Yang did not reply but carefully read the brochure.

Three minutes later.

Jerry Yang closed the brochure and asked: "From the parameters, your company's servers are indeed very good.

However, we have never used your company's products, so it is impossible to purchase them on a large scale in the early stages of cooperation.

I can try to give you some orders first."

It’s not that Jerry Yang doesn’t trust the products of Kirin Group.

Kirin Group also has Internet business.

He believes that Qilin Group is also using its own servers.

It's just that they haven't used Kirin's servers yet, so it's impossible to purchase Kirin's servers on a large scale during procurement.

"Mr. Yang, you can use our company's products with confidence.

Wanwan Qilin Universe, Hong Kong Qilin Universe, and Bangzi Qilin Universe all use the servers of Qilin Group.

Kirin Universe in these three places are all companies authorized by Kirin to cooperate with.

There are also mates who are also using our server.

We just signed a purchase order of US$1.1 billion with mate today.
Chapter completed!
