"Let Intel ban the sale of Daqian chips?" Hearing this suggestion, Tomoaki Ken and Tony shook their heads at the same time. This suggestion was simply too whimsical.
Although this suggestion could indeed eliminate the Daqian directly, after all, no matter how powerful the Daqian was, without high-end chips, it was a dead end.
But the question was, would Intel do such a thing?
"That's basically impossible!" After a while, Ryo Muken said, "Intel has almost monopolized the entire high-end chip market. AMD is no threat to them. Manufacturers all over the world can only buy Intel's products, and they only need to produce and collect money. Intel has no reason to do such a thing that would incur the wrath of the gods!"
"That's right, unless Intel has lost their mind, they would never do such a thing!" Tony added.
"But what if the Daqian poses a threat to Intel's hegemony?" Satoshi Iwata asked, "What if Intel knows that the Daqian is also developing chips, and high-end chips at that, and is even buying lithography machines everywhere, intending to enter the chip market?"
"What you said is true!!!" Tomoaki Ken and Tony asked in shock at the same time.
"No, this is just a wild guess!" Satoshi Iwata shook his head, "I just think that a greedy guy like the Daqian might also want chips!"
"That's impossible!" Tony laughed and said, "Chip technology is too complicated, and it requires not only the design of the chip, but also the layout of the chip, the architecture, and so on."
"Even if these technologies are realized, it would be a waste if they can't produce them. This requires an extremely advanced lithography machine, and now all the top lithography machines are in ASM's hands. The Daqian can't buy a lithography machine at all!"
"Speaking of which, hasn't Nikon been acquired by the Daqian? I remember that they have a complete lithography machine design and manufacturing technology! "Tomoaki Ken reminded.
"I know Nikon the best, their technology is not good!" Satoshi Iwata shook his head and said, "Their lithography machines are still limited to 500nm and above, and they can't even satisfy our GBA chips. Moreover, Nikon is getting worse and worse. It no longer has the ability to develop a lithography machine! "
"Yes, as far as I know, Daqian bought Nikon mainly for Nikon's digital camera technology, and then applied this technology to mobile phones. Currently, all the cameras used by Daqian mobile phones are produced based on Nikon's technology, and it's not for the photolithography machine at all!" Tony added.
"So, it's impossible for the Daqian to make their own chips. Even if they were given 20 years, they wouldn't be able to make their own chips!" Yugiyoshi Ken shook his head. "Intel won't believe it!"
"Sigh!" The three of them sighed in unison. They felt that it was too difficult to deal with Da Qian!
"Actually, it's not entirely impossible for Intel to deal with the Daqian!" Satoshi Iwata said.
"How?" The other two asked at the same time.
"That will depend on Mr. Tony!" Satoru Iwata smiled. "From what I know, Intel owns 5% of Microsoft's shares, and Microsoft owns 10% of Intel's shares. Is that right?"
"That's right!" Tony nodded. This is a share swap between Intel and Microsoft, and it's because of the Daqian.
Intel was overjoyed at that time, as Microsoft's shares are worth more than Intel's shares. But now, Intel is unhappy because Intel still has more than 80 billion USD worth of shares, and Microsoft is only left with about 50 billion USD.
How can Intel be happy to exchange their 8 billion USD worth of shares for 2.5 billion USD worth of shares?
"If Microsoft's shares can return to 200 billion USD, I think Intel will be happy again!" Satoshi Iwata said. "Other than that, Intel should be furious with AMD!"
This was actually a very natural thing. Intel had dominated the high-end computer chip market for such a long time and had killed countless competitors. The only one they could not get rid of was AMD. This made Intel very angry.
"Finally, as far as I know, there has been a huge conflict between Da Qian and Intel. For example, the current vice president of Intel, Claire, was once the head of Intel's procurement department. He was once responsible for the task of purchasing the latest 70nm lithography machine from ASM. However, these two lithography machines were bought by Da Qian through various means. As a result, Intel was delayed for a year before they could get the same lithography machine. This also caused their latest chip to be delayed by a year.
"This is one of Claire's biggest failures in his career. He is now a Vice President, but this hatred should still be there!"
"These three points are our means. If we can do all three at once, I think Intel might be able to stand with us!" Iwata Satoru kept talking, and Tomomi and Tomomi immediately had a whole new level of respect for him.
This Satoshi Iwata hates the Daqian to the core. If not, he will not find out so much.
"So, what should we do?" Tony asked with some excitement.
"Simple. I think we can propose a binding plan to bind all four of us together!" Satoru Iwata also got excited and said loudly, "Let's not talk about how the three of us are bound together. Da Qian has already demonstrated it to us. What we need to do is to bind Intel to us as well!"
"That's why we can propose a cooperation agreement with Intel. We will bind Intel's chips to the Windows operating system, Sony's consoles, and Nintendo's games!"
"In the future, the Windows operating system can only run on Intel's chips, and all of Sony's hardware can only use Intel's chips. Even all of Nintendo's games will be developed based on your products!" Satoshi Iwata said and licked his lips!
"This way, AMD will lose the Windows operating system as a platform, and it will be a death sentence. If we get rid of Hongmeng, Microsoft's share prices will shoot up, and Intel will reap the benefits!"
"Good!" Tony slammed the table excitedly. "This is a good suggestion. Even I am tempted!"
"That's right!" Ken and Ken nodded. But these three people thought this is a good idea, but it's useless. They still need Intel's approval.
Therefore, the three companies unanimously sent invitations to Claire, the vice president of Intel. Claire naturally didn't dare to neglect the invitations of the three companies. A few days later, in the same private room, these people gathered together again, but there was an additional vice president representing Intel, Claire Global.
