Chapter 2068 Can't afford it
Does Li Rui have 20 billion?
Of course not.
Even if there isn't, you have to shout out loud first.
If he really can win the arm, let alone 20 billion, even if it is 30 billion, Li Rui will make up for it even if it is 30 billion!
Of course Huang Renxun didn't know that Li Rui was bluffing, and he was scared.
Nvidia's current market value is only more than 8 billion magnesium. Two hundred billion can buy two and a half Nvidia. Li Rui has to provide 20 billion funds as soon as he opens his mouth. Of course, Huang Renxun doesn't believe it.
And even if Li Ruizhen can afford 20 billion, Nvidia can't handle it.
Huang Renxun hesitated and said, "Mr. Li, can I ask, why do you want to acquire arm so much?"
Li Rui said: "Because I have a dream of ecological rebellion..."
Every time Li Rui mentions "ecological rebellion", he wants to know whether Comrade Zhen Guiguo will sneeze.
No matter how miserable Zhenshi Group was later, at least in terms of bragging, Zhen Guiguo was Li Rui's senior teacher. When it comes to this concept of ecological rebellion, no matter who it is, he will be confused!
Huang Renxun was no exception. He was confused on the spot. He thought the context of the mainland and the beautiful island was different. Why did he turn the ecology into a reverse state without understanding it for a while?
After Li Rui explained to him, Huang Renxun was amazed: "It turns out that it means chemical reaction, it's very magical..."
The "magic" mentioned by science and engineering men is definitely not the same as the "magic" mentioned by liberal arts men. It is most likely not a compliment, and it contains very strong doubts.
After all, in the world of science and engineering men, one is one, two is two. Physics is physics, and chemistry is chemistry. It is really inappropriate to apply the concept of chemical reaction to the commercial field!
Li Rui also saw Huang Renxun's disdain and continued to explain: "In order to build this ecological system, I have made a lot of efforts and invested in different upstream and downstream fields. Xingrui is not only an investment company, but also a technology company.
The company is also a communications company. At present, Xingrui's layout has covered the core links such as traditional Internet, mobile Internet, software, communication, and artificial intelligence. If it can acquire arm and obtain key technologies in the chip field, it will open up the entire online
The downstream industrial chain has reached a positive cycle!”
This time Huang Renxun understood it, and after thinking for a while, he realized the terribleness of this industrial chain model.
The so-called ecological reaction system is more like a gear linkage. Every project Li Rui invests in is one of the gears. When all the gears are assembled, it will drive the operation of an overall system. As long as the operation trend of each gear is the same.
If you keep moving forward as predicted, this industrial chain will always have the motivation to move forward and may burst out with endless potential!
Theoretically, Li Rui's idea is completely possible.
Moreover, Huang Renxun also agrees with the development trends in these fields.
Li Rui continued: "I think the future is the era of the Internet of Things. Smart devices around the world will be connected to a larger Internet of Things than the Internet. The basis of the entire Internet of Things is based on the architecture of Arm's chip technology.
At that time, if Nvidia's GPU promotes the development of artificial intelligence and combines it with the Internet of Things, what stage will human beings enter?"
Huang Renxun was shocked by this grand idea.
If the future Li Rui said really comes, it would be really exciting.
Then he heard Li Rui ask him: "So Mr. Huang, are you willing to change the world with me?"
"Of course..." Huang Renxun blurted out.
If there is the most romantic dream of science and engineering men, it must be changing the world!
No one can reject this sentence, especially when the dream is not illusory.
Since both parties have reached the same goal, the next thing will be easier.
The two parties agreed that Nvidia will ask Arm for price with Nvidia as the acquisition entity, and Xingrui will do its best to provide financial support.
On the other hand, Huang Renxun also promised that regardless of whether the acquisition is successful, Nvidia will provide more hardware support for deep learning algorithms.
Currently, GPU has more uses in the gaming field. Although it has been proved that deep learning algorithms can be run through GPU, it is still essentially a general-purpose chip, and there is no special optimization of deep learning in terms of performance or power consumption.
.
Huang Renxun is willing to make a chip dedicated to deep learning algorithms in the subsequent product development.
The principle of this chip is relatively simple, sacrificing versatility, controlling heat generation, tolerating low-precision computing and data localization in exchange for extreme efficiency in deep learning algorithms.
Of course, what Huang Renxun didn't expect was that after the production of this kind of chip was not fully invested in deep learning, but was taken to mining...
After parting with Huang Renxun, Li Rui felt very complicated, full of longing and expectation, and felt tremendous pressure.
Aspirations and expectations come from the acquisition of arm, and pressure also comes from this.
Arm is currently listed on the London Stock Exchange and Nasdaq at the same time, with a market value of about 14 billion magnesium.
If you want to really acquire arm, considering the premium, 20 billion magnesium should be about the same.
It is unrealistic to expect Nvidia to spend too much money, so the amount of funds that Li Rui has to prepare needs at least 15 billion.
Even for Li Rui, this is an astronomical figure.
It seems that shorting the island country this time will need to be a little more cruel, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to make up so much money!
Li Rui returned to the hotel with all his thoughts, took out the notebook he carried with him, and turned it through page after page.
Gradually, Li Rui's brows stretched out.
It turns out that there are so many ways to make money, so there is no problem. Isn’t it just 20 billion magnesium, and it’s sprinkling water.
The easiest thing is to wait a few more years, and wait for the virtual currency to rise, use Nvidia's GPU to mine, and sell the virtual currency you dug out to acquire the arm. I don't believe that what I am targeting can still fly out of my palm?
After turning over the notebook, Li Rui became full of confidence again. He had nowhere to release his passion. He simply called Dalula and asked if she had already returned home.
Dalula rented an apartment in San Francisco, not far from the Li Rui Hotel.
After receiving a call from Li Rui, Dalula said: "I just came back from Silicon Valley. Is there anything wrong?"
"I want to tell you good news, is it convenient to go to your house to chat?" Li Rui asked.
Dalula hesitated and said, "Of course we welcome."
After hanging up the phone, Dalula walked around the room twice, then opened the door of the wardrobe, looked at the dazzling array of dresses inside, and pursed her lips...
Li Rui brought a bottle of red wine to Dalula's apartment, which is one of the highest-end apartments in San Francisco. It has tight security and must be registered and identified at the doorman's guard. Then, after asking Dalula through the transponder, you can take a ride.
The elevator arrives at the designated floor.
When he arrived at the door of Dalula's apartment, Li Rui knocked on the door lightly. After a few seconds, the door opened. Dalula stood at the door wearing a long nightgown. She looked better than the movie with a little makeup on her face.
