Daguo Science and Technology started from the copycat system

And why did Wei Ruan do this?

The most fundamental reason is that the manufacturers of mobile phone platforms are too fierce, and they are attacking the fields of notebook computers, desktop computers, and servers frantically.

If Weiruan does not change and does not try to attack the mobile terminal, then the Weiruan system will be eliminated!

"Since this is the case, then we will devote all our efforts to the acquisition of SIS and the development of Suguang Computer's multimedia instruction set."

After Ni Guangnan said something with a smile, he left slowly, and Lin Chen continued to be busy with his affairs.

So in the following time, the negotiation between Sugon R\u0026D Center and Weisheng Electronics fell into a stalemate, but the negotiation between Suguang R\u0026D Center and Wandao SIS Company was relatively smooth.

On July 3, 2004, Sugon R\u0026D Center formally reached an agreement with SIS.

Sugon acquired the company's CPU business, graphics card business, and chip business with $380 million in cash.

The reason why the price is so cheap is that their CPU business does not even have an X86 processor R\u0026D team, but only has the authorization of the X86 instruction set.

The only thing they have assets is the business of graphics cards and chipsets, but their graphics cards and chipsets are quite average in the world, and they only serve as background boards.

Not to mention comparing with Asus, MSI, ATI, Invidia and other companies, even Weisheng Electronics can't compare with them. Under such circumstances, their CPU, graphics card, and chipset business prices are naturally unaffordable.

Sugon spent US$380 million to win the CPU, graphics card, and chipset business of Bay Island SIS Company. After the news came out, it immediately caused a round of uproar around the world.

Among them, the media in Bay Island and Daxia even reported this matter in the form of headlines. The headlines were the rise of domestic chips and the news that Sugon officially entered the computer industry!

After the news came out, Intel President Barrett's face was very stinky, and he lamented in his heart that there was no way to prevent Sugon Technology from entering the X86 processor industry.

Of course, at the same time, Chen Wenqi, the head of Wandao Weisheng Electronics, felt a little empty in his heart.

After all, Sugon has already bought the CPU, graphics card, and chipset business of SIS for 380 million yuan. Naturally, they will no longer purchase the CPU and graphics card business of Weisheng Electronics, at least they will not continue to offer high prices.

Thinking that Weisheng Electronics will face Sugon Technology and A.M.D Intel at the same time in the future. Three powerful enemies.

Chen Wenqi somewhat regretted raising the price after obtaining the three major authorizations and insisting on quoting high prices, making Sugon bear the loss of their CPU and graphics card business for many years.

If he didn't raise the price at the beginning, could he sell the CPU and graphics card department that had been burning for several years?

If we did not stick to the bottom line of 2 billion US dollars, but took a step back and were willing to sell the CPU and graphics card business at a loss, would it be a different scene at this time?

However, the final outcome has already appeared, and it is useless to think about another future at this time.

After all, Sugon has already bought the CPU, graphics card, and chipset business of Wandao SIS, and will not continue to spend high prices to buy their CPU and graphics card business from Weisheng Electronics.

Thinking of this, Chen Wenqi felt a little melancholy, but she could only force herself to let go of this matter calmly, and planned to devote a large amount of money to research and develop new processors.

But the facts told him that he was thinking too much, because within a few days, Chen Wenqi received a shocking bad news.

On July 5, 2004, Weisheng Electronics' company account received a contract penalty of 10 million US dollars, and then Weisheng Electronics also received a notice from Intel to tear up the contract.

Obviously, Intel directly refused to fulfill the technology patent licensing contract they had promised.

That is to say, Intel refused to authorize SSE3 instruction set and hyper-threading technology to Weisheng Electronics as promised in the contract!

Knowing the result, Chen Wenqi was dumbfounded on the spot!

Although when Chen Wenqi received the news of Shuguang's acquisition of SIS, she already had a bad premonition in her heart.

But I didn't expect Intel to be so straightforward, directly willing to pay 10 million contract liquidated damages, and refused to provide Weisheng Electronics with the authorization of SSE3 instruction set and hyper-threading technology.

And the consequence of this behavior is that they, Weisheng Electronics, have been cheated miserably!

Although Weisheng Electronics has obtained the authorization of A.M.D's X86-64-bit processor architecture, Weisheng Electronics can officially develop and produce 64-bit X86 processors.

But the problem is that this authorization alone does not actually help Weisheng Electronics that much, it is almost equivalent to standing still.

Because now whether it is A.M.D or Intel's X86 processor, which one of them is not a 64-bit X86 processor?

Weisheng Electronics obtained the authorization of the X86-64-bit processor architecture, which just regained the foundation to stand with them, but whether they can stand together and win others is another matter.

Therefore, without SSE3 instruction set authorization and hyper-threading technology authorization, Weisheng Electronics' X86 processor simply cannot beat A.M.D. and Intel's processors, and naturally cannot compete for market share.

Therefore, although Weisheng Electronics has obtained the authorization of the X86-64-bit processor architecture, it has little practical help and no practical effect. The market share is estimated to be between 0.2% and 0.5%.

After thinking about this joint, Chen Wenqi, the head of Weisheng Electronics, was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and he gritted his teeth with hatred for Barrett, the head of Intel.

According to later gossip, Chen Wenqi, head of Weisheng Electronics, even scolded "Scumbag!" "Shameless!" down.

But after calming down, one has to face the cruel reality. Anger and cursing cannot solve any problems.

After all, he, Chen Wenqi, can't kill Lin Chen, the head of Sugon Technology, and Barrett, the president of Intel, just by his mouth.

So Chen Wenqi, who calmed down, began to face the cruel reality.

But I think that Weisheng CPU will continue to maintain that sad and shameful market share in the future.

Thinking that the future CPU business will continue to crazily devour the profits of Weisheng Electronics, dragging Weisheng Electronics into the abyss of the quagmire.

After Chen Wenqi took a deep breath, she made a crazy decision. This decision is that Weisheng Electronics will lower the quotation bottom line for CPU and graphics card business!

That Intel would rather pay 10 million liquidated damages than sell the remaining two major patent licenses to them, and not give them a chance for Weisheng Electronics to struggle and rise.

Then don't blame Weisheng Electronics for lowering the price bottom line and selling Weisheng's CPU and graphics card business to capitalize on the enemy. As for whether it can be sold, Chen Wenqi is still confident.

Because although Sugon R\u0026D Center acquired the CPU, graphics card, and chipset business of Bay Island SIS, there are still many CPU technology patents that Sugon R\u0026D Center has not obtained.

After all, in addition to the X86 instruction set, an X86 processor also has many other technical patent authorizations. Chen Wenqi believes that Sugon R\u0026D Center should be interested in those technical patent authorizations. (end of this chapter)
