"ATI is willing to sell?"
"What do you think?"
"It's hard to say."
"That's true. No one can be sure about this kind of thing. "
Nvidia's biggest competitor was ATI, which was also a standalone graphics card manufacturer.
ATI was even the leader of the card industry for a time.
However, Nvidia's performance in recent years had been excellent, and they had stolen ATI's limelight.
"That's true."
Huang Renxing was very surprised to hear this news.
However, Chen Yu's sudden news made Huang Renxing a little suspicious.
"Chen Yu, where did you hear this news?"
"Where did I hear this news? This is a trade secret. I can't tell you, Old Huang."
Chen Yu heard Huang Renxing's suspicion, but he did not say anything.
Today, he came to dupe Huang Renxing, so he was fully prepared.
Huang Renxing, who could become a big shot in the industry, was definitely not someone who could be duped with a few words.
Then, in response to Huang Renxing's suspicion, Chen Yu said calmly, "Old Huang, don't you think this is an opportunity?"
"Opportunity?"
Huang Renxing was a little confused. "AMD is buying us, not the other way around. What kind of opportunity is this?"
Obviously, Nvidia's market value was much lower than AMD's.
If there was an acquisition, it would be AMD acquiring Nvidia, not Nvidia acquiring AMD.
However, Chen Yu changed the topic and said, "Elder Saunders is already in his sixties."
With this, Huang Renxing instantly understood.
He suddenly understood what Chen Yu meant.
Actually, Huang Renxing was not very interested in AMD's acquisition.
He was used to being the boss. How could he be willing to be under someone else?
The reason why Chen Yu was still interested in chatting with him was because he wanted to find out about the direction of the industry in the future.
However, when Chen Yu mentioned that Elder Saunders was in his sixties, he immediately understood what Chen Yu was trying to say.
If Nvidia was acquired by AMD, but he was the CEO, that would be a different matter.
Of course.
This was impossible in other companies.
However, in AMD's case, there was still a sliver of possibility.
Although Grandpa Sanders was the founder of AMD, he was old and had been managing AMD for nearly 30 years.
Although Sunders performed well in the past 30 years, his business did not improve.
Even if it still had some market share, it had been suppressed by Intel.
A few years ago, at AMD's shareholders' meeting, they had mentioned looking for a new professional manager.
However, there were no suitable candidates, and most people still supported Sunders when it came to shares.
In the end, it was still Sunders who controlled AMD.
However, if AMD had the intention to acquire Nvidia now, Saunders' shares would definitely change.
As long as the other shareholders were willing to support Huang Renxing as AMD's general manager, everything would fall into place.
It had to be said that this challenge interested Huang Renxing very much.
Although the graphics card business was not bad, how could it be as challenging as the processor business?
Moreover, in terms of popularity and influence, AMD is much better than Nvidia.
If he became the general manager of AMD, he could manage both AMD's CPU business and his own graphics card business.
Even if he sold Nvidia to AMD now, what difference would it make?
"Chen Yu, I have to say, you've fooled me."
Huang Renxing spoke the truth.
"I've never fooled people. How about this, I'll handle this. However, I can't guarantee anything. "
"No problem."
Huang Renxing nodded happily. "Anyway, I have nothing to lose. I only have one request. I want to take the position of CEO. If you can't agree, then I won't sell Nvidia. "
"Understood."
Chen Yu also nodded. "However, Huanyu Technologies must buy 1% of AMD's shares."
"Deal."
It was that simple to discuss things with smart people.
After the discussion with Huang Renxing, Chen Yu went to ATI.
Nvidia's biggest competitor was ATI.
ATI's founder, He Guoyuan.
Isn't it strange that it's a Chinese name?
The world is so strange.
In fact, many talented Chinese people had created countless amazing legends in the IT industry.
Nvidia's founder was Chinese. ATI's founder, He Guoyuan, was also Chinese.
Before these two, there was an even more impressive Chinese person, Wang An.
As early as the 1980s, Wang An Computer Company had dominated the global market and could be compared to IBM.
At that time, Bill was just a little brother in front of Wang An.
Bill even recalled that if Wang An Computer Company had not gone bankrupt, Microsoft would not be where it was today.
He digressed.
Why should he go to ATI?
That was too simple.
Chen Yu liked to do things from the beginning to the end.
In order to hoodwink everyone, Chen Yu had to complete the show.
Hoodwink Nvidia was only the first step.
Hoodwink ATI was the second step.
Why should he hoodwink ATI?
It was simple. Compared to He Guoyuan of ATI, he was obviously easier to convince than Huang Renxing of Nvidia.
In fact, He Guoyuan had the intention of selling ATI.
As for the reason …
One was the competition from Nvidia and other companies.
The other was the competition from Intel.
ATI used to be the overlord of the display card industry. However, when He Guoyuan discovered that Intel wanted to enter the graphics card industry, and even the motherboard industry, He Guoyuan felt a strong sense of danger. Once Intel entered the motherboard industry, it would be a fatal blow to ATI. Because everyone knew that the graphics card was plugged into the motherboard. If Intel wanted to make motherboards, they would definitely not tolerate the existence of a graphics card giant like ATI.
Therefore, in order to resist Intel's invasion, He Guoyuan also entered the motherboard industry. Moreover, in order to resist Intel's attack, he also joined forces with all motherboard manufacturers, including Asus, to purchase microprocessors from other companies. In the end, Intel stopped there. Although he defeated Intel, because he had been focusing on dealing with Intel, he allowed Nvidia, who only focused on graphics, to catch up.
Until now, ATI was slightly weaker than Ying Weida.
The negotiations with He Guoyuan went smoothly.
In the end, Chen Yu began to hoodwink AMD.
Otherwise …
Both Nvidia and ATI were hoodwink. However, if there were no buyers, Chen Yu would go crazy.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
Previously, when Chen Yu wanted to deal with Intel, he wanted to go to AMD first.
However, he did not go to AMD. His Weibo was used by AMD's founder, Old Man Sang.
Chen Yu was happy, but he did not say anything. He just quietly helped from the back.
This performance successfully won Sanders's favor.
When he knew that Chen Yu was coming to AMD, Old Man Sanders, who was still in the hospital, jumped out of his bed.
"Old Man Sanders, how's your illness?"
"I'm fine. I'm fine. Chen Yu, you're really my lucky star. "
"Thank you, Old Man Sanders."
"Your Weibo is very interesting. At the same time, thank you for your help to AMD during this period."
"Intel is also our competitor. Helping your company is also helping ourselves. However, Intel is very strong. If we only rely on Weibo, it will be difficult for AMD to compete with Intel. If your company can enter the GPU business and chipset business, I think it will be of great help to your company. "
"Enter the GPU and chipset business?"
Sanders touched his chin. "I've thought of this before, but we don't have much research in this area."
"You can consider investing or acquiring."
Then, Chen Yu said directly, "ATI and Nvidia are both interested in selling."
Alright.
