Once upon a time, when talking about high technology, semiconductors, and chips, people always call Intel. Even people who don’t know much about computers still have a deep memory of Intel’s “double” advertising slogan.

In the PC era, Intel is indeed the only one who can dominate it. It has stepped on all its competitors such as Amd and stands on the top of the wave and looks around. I just want to ask: Who else?

Under the waves, a timid voice sounded: I am still there!

This sound comes from arm, a powerful opponent that Intel could never dream of.

As the times move forward and enter the mobile Internet era, it is not only mobile phone manufacturers such as Nojimoji that were abandoned by the times, but Intel is also a little unable to keep up.

Due to the lack of architecture, Intel has lost a large amount of market in the new era. Because its architecture is very suitable for the mobile Internet era, arm has gradually become the top overlord in this market. Its business model is to continuously develop semiconductor intellectual property rights, and then license these property rights to partners such as Apple, Qualcomm, MediaTek, NXP for a fee, and partners will manufacture chips. It charges patent fees.

At present, in addition to Microsoft's surface and several mobile phones on the market, most other smart mobile devices use arm architecture chips.

Is Apple awesome? Is Korean stars awesome? Does Qualcomm have nostrils facing the sky? But they all have to rely on the technical architecture of arm, otherwise they can't even produce a chip!

It can be said that if Arm's technology sneezes, more than 90% of mobile devices in the world will become cerebral palsy!

Although Intel's x86 architecture is still trying to regain the old mountains and rivers, arm is indeed too strong. In the near future, it will hit Intel all over the ground, forming a de facto standard, and it will not be shaken in a short period of time.

Such a powerful company should have a lot of revenue, but on the contrary, the patent fees charged by Arm are not high, and he is willing to let the whole world share its R&D results and authorize more than 1,000 companies around the world.

With such rapid development of mobile Internet, arm's revenue last year was only one billion magnesium, which was simply a thriving industry.

If this technology falls into the hands of Bonima or Robin Lee, I can't even imagine it...

Arm does not seek short-term benefits, which also makes it encounter some financial difficulties. It was looking for the possibility of selling several years ago, but its sales have prerequisites, that is, it must maintain operational independence and will not belong to a certain mobile phone or chip manufacturer.

It is precisely because of this iron rule that arm rejected Apple's acquisition in 2010.

At present, arm is still open to accepting various merger and acquisition requests, but most mergers and acquisitions cannot meet its conditions.

It was not until 2016 that Arm finally found a next home that was rich and could meet all its requirements, SoftBank.

It will take several years before SoftBank acquires arm. Nowadays, arm is a very capable girl with little income and unique personality. Although there are many girls who are coveted by her name, there are really few who are qualified and capable of marrying arm into the family.

Nvidia is also one of the many potential suitors who covet Arm, but he is currently a poor boy and can't get so many brides, so he has never expressed his meaning in this regard.

After hearing Li Rui's words, Huang Renxun was shocked. He couldn't understand why Li Rui knew what he was thinking.

Li Rui laughed in his heart, "If you can't acquire arm in ten years, it's so painful, how could I not know?"

Of course, this cannot be said. Li Rui could only act like a mountain man had his own tricks and smiled slightly, "Mr. Huang, you shouldn't be interested in what I said, right?"

Huang Renxun smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Li, you have a lot of questions. You are like asking a man if he is not interested in Scarlett Johnson. How is that possible?"

Li Rui was stunned for a moment and thought to himself that Lao Huang, you don’t want to drink Scarlett’s bath water, right?

I definitely can't agree to anything else, but if you want to drink bath water, I can help you at any time...

Of course this is not the time to discuss bath water. Li Rui said: "Since Mr. Huang is interested, can we have a deeper talk?"

"Please speak." Huang Renxun said with his eyes shining.

Li Rui said: "Nvidia has obvious advantages in the GPU field. If it can acquire Arm, it can combine technologies in two important fields, namely CPU and GPU, which will have a significant impact on the entire semiconductor industry, and even future cloud computing, smartphones, personal computers, autonomous driving, robots, Internet of Things and artificial intelligence computing..."

In fact, there is no need for Li Rui to describe these prospects too much. Huang Renxun also understands them, and has even planned them in his mind many times.

But when facing the lady of a poor boy, he could only think about it and did not dare to really propose marriage. With Nvidia's current market value, it is estimated that he could not even enter the arm's door.

With Li Rui, the matchmaker, it’s different. Other matchmakers make money by matching young couples. Li Rui is different. A poor boy can’t afford to marry a lady from a family, and Li Rui pays money to support a poor boy in marriage.

Why didn’t Li Rui propose marriage by himself?

If Li Rui acquires arm in the name of Magnesium Star Rui Capital, there is still one percent possibility, but the inextricable relationship between him and Magnesium Star Rui is easily exposed under the investigation of regulatory agencies, and he cannot take this risk.

If Li Rui takes over as Xia Guo, he will definitely be directly rejected.

But it is different to conduct indirect purchases through Nvidia.

First of all, Nvidia is also an extremely important part of the global semiconductor industry chain. Its technical capabilities and market potential in the GPU field are very great. It seems that it is still a poor boy, but the chance of entering Beijing to win the exam is very high, and it is a potential stock that Arm values.

Secondly, although Nvidia's boss Huang Renxun is a very pure magnesium company, he will not be troubled by regulatory agencies.

Finally, Li Rui invested in helping Nvidia acquire arm, and he could also take the opportunity to invest in Nvidia and indirectly control arm, which was a killing two birds with one stone.

If this acquisition can really be led to, Xingrui will take the initiative in the future, whether it is the smartphone, semiconductor or artificial intelligence industry.

After yelling hard, Li Rui asked Huang Renxun: "Mr. Huang, what do you think?"

Huang Renxun said: "To be honest, I am indeed very interested in arm, but... Nvidia can't afford that much money."

"There is Xingrui here." Li Rui said, "If Nvidia determines the acquisition, Xingrui is willing to provide funds, including but not limited to capital injection, stock purchase, interest-free loans, etc.."

Huang Renxun said in surprise: "Mr. Li, the funds for acquiring arm are not small, how much money can you take out?"

Li Rui gritted his teeth and said, "Two billion, magnesium!"
