Returning to Chen Shangli's home in Hong Kong, Chen Shangren went directly into his brother's study and called his father in Malaysia.

After waiting for about five or six minutes, Mr. Chen, who had just finished walking in the yard, came back and answered the phone. After hearing his son's narration, Mr. Chen directly asked his son questions without thinking.

"Do you think we should provide so much money to Mr. Su?" Mr. Chen asked his son.

Chen Shangren was a little strange, because wasn't this matter already discussed when he came here? Why did his father bring it up to ask? To test himself?

"I think we should borrow, but we can't borrow so much. One hundred million is enough." Chen Shangren still insisted on his opinion.

After hearing this, Mr. Chen said: "If you give someone a gift that is picky and swishy, ​​just don't give it at all, because the more you pick and swish, the less they will accept your favor. Not only will they not accept your favor, but you will offend them.

Make people look down on you from the bottom of their hearts.

You have to understand, since we here have put on airs and want to sing a high tone, why are we afraid of raising the tone?

If he dares to borrow this money, why shouldn't we?

Are you really the top real estate developer in Hong Kong before? I'm telling you, it's early. Do you see how important the location of Hong Kong is to the north?"

"But the north is so poor now," Chen Shouren said.

Mr. Chen said: "How much money did our family have when we came out? Your great-grandfather didn't have a lot of money in his body at that time. Doesn't he still have such a family fortune now?"

Since we can do it, why do you think it can’t be done in the north?”

Mr. Chen is not disappointed with his son. He knows that every inch has its own strengths and weaknesses. Everyone praises his son, but he is too conservative. Sometimes he is even more conservative than himself.

This cannot be said to be a bad thing, but it cannot be said to be a good thing. Such a cautious temper will not bring any huge fluctuations to the company, but it will also be difficult to bring the company to a new peak from its current scale.

In short, my sons are all conservative and lack the courage to move forward.

"What do you mean?" Chen Shangren asked.

Mr. Chen laughed and said: "Didn't he say that his EA is worth 50 million? Then talk to him, and 50 million will cost him 15% of his shares. You all said that this person is lucky and can win every time.

If it gets stuck, then let’s gamble with him and get lucky, isn’t it 50 million?”

Chen Shangren also wanted to persuade his father, but after thinking about it for a moment, he nodded and replied: "I understand, but give me a bottom line. How many shares can we get at most for how much money we pay?"

Mr. Chen thought for a moment and told his eldest son his expected trump card.

After receiving instructions from the old man, Chen Shangren made an appointment with Gu Siwei for dinner the next morning.

At this time, how could Gu Siwei have time to have dinner with Chen Shangren? He was very busy here. EA over there was preparing to manufacture more game consoles to put on the market, and there was a temporary problem with Fairchild over there.

With so many products supplied to EA, the original agreement between the two companies was delayed by Fairchild.

When he got angry like this, Xiantong lost his temper. What do you think of this if he wasn't exhausted?

If you want to go to the United States as soon as possible, then Zhao Sanle's A goods must be prepared as soon as possible.

With all this busy work, how could Gu Siwei be in the mood to have dinner with Chen Shangren? As for the EA shares or not, Gu Siwei would still be celebrating the New Year if the old Chen family gave him this money, but he would still be celebrating the New Year if they didn't give them this money.

After hurriedly boarding the plane and arriving in San Francisco, Gu Siwei plunged into EA.

The atmosphere in EA is very good now. The first product was an instant hit, which made everyone's faces light up. When Gu Siwei came over, he announced on the spot that bonuses would be given to everyone, so the morale was soaring.

risk.

A temporary partition and a long round table became the company's conference room.

Everyone casually pulled up a chair and sat around the table. There was no primary or secondary position here. Everyone gathered in a circle, giving it a very IT-industry atmosphere.

Naturally attending the meeting were EA’s ‘Big Three’ Joe Hawkins, Ron Hayek and Gil Amelio.

Gu Siwei first listened to Jill talk about the current situation of the company, mainly the problem of falling chain at Fairchild.

After hearing this, Gu Siwei didn't have any good ideas. Many things were produced by Fairchild. Now Fairchild doesn't provide them. It's not that they don't provide them. It's just that EA is too eager to get the goods. Fairchild has no way to provide them.

If you want the goods, you have to wait at least one and a half to two months.

How could EA wait this long? After a month and a half, competitors' machines will be available.

Boom!

There was a knock at the door of the conference room.

Everyone turned around and saw a little girl holding something like a document bag in her hand: "BOSS, Atari filed a lawsuit against us, accusing us of infringing their pong patent...".

Gu Siwei didn't find it strange after hearing this. The pinball game is indeed somewhat similar to Atari's PONG. Of course, if you say it's plagiarism, it's definitely not true. If Atari's PONG is compared to basketball, then EA's pinball

The bead game is volleyball. The only thing they have in common is that they are both balls.

You can't say they are both balls, they are the same sport.

Gu Siwei also understands that there is no way for Atari to sue EA. It cannot do nothing and let EA just grab its business so comfortably. It will definitely take measures to curb this momentum. Of course it can

It's best to kill EA.

In the world where Gu Siwei was originally, Atari was living a turbulent and nutritious life at the moment. An EA suddenly appeared in this life, and it was so fierce that it destroyed Atari in one move.

If you have a concussion, can you not get angry?

Are you afraid of lawsuits when doing business in the United States?

Besides, it’s not like Lao Gu doesn’t have money. He has more money than the bosses at Atari plus a dollar or a hundred, so he’s afraid of a lawsuit.

"Hire a good lawyer, a good one, and play with them." Gu Siwei said his decision directly.

Litigation is a trivial matter, but it is a big deal that the current game console cannot be mass-produced.

"Have you asked other companies?" Gu Siwei asked.

After saying that, Gu Siwei waited for someone else to answer, then asked again: "Has Intel asked?"

Gu Siwei didn't know much about chips, and he didn't know many companies.

Intel has already appeared at this time. Not only has it appeared, but it is still alive and well. In 2071, it launched the general-purpose chip 4004, and last year it launched the 8-bit 8008. It can be said that it is the leader in the field of chip manufacturing.

of a new star.

"It's impossible for them." Gill poured cold water on Gu Siwei directly.

Intel has now taken off, and almost all major chip companies in the United States are taking orders from the military. At this time, there is really no production capacity for EA.

"What about AMD?"

Gu Siwei named the last company he knew that could produce chips.

Gil shook his head again: "None of the companies including Texas Instruments, Signitik, Mostek, etc. have the production capacity to give me the chips."

Gu Siwei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and thought to himself: Deyi seems to be a little impressed. This guy has a great reputation. Everyone who works on machines knows this company, but what the hell are the last two?

At this time, Joe Hawkins gave Gu Siwei a harsh words.

"If it really doesn't work, then the company can produce its own chips."

Good guy, this sentence almost frightened Gu Siwei from his chair and he sat down on the ground. He looked at Joe Hawkins, wondering if this guy had received black money from someone and wanted to directly destroy our old Gu.

In Lao Gu's mind, those companies that play with chips are all companies with fat waists and strong bodies. If you pick out a hair at random, it will be thicker than Gu Siwei's waist.

Before Gu Siwei could digest what Qiao said, Gil Amelio also spoke up.

"This is a good idea, but the initial investment may be larger, almost five million U.S. dollars, or even seven million U.S. dollars," Gill said.

Gu Siwei didn't notice the expressions of the other three people on the table at this time. He was shocked by EA's idea of ​​making a chip. At this moment, there were thousands of grass mud horses in his mind, spraying green saliva and shouting uncivilized words.

"Five million dollars, five million dollars...what do you think...huh?"

Gu Siwei was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "You said it would cost us US$5 million to build our own chip factory?"

Gill said: "It may not be enough. In the end it will be almost $7 million, maybe more."

When he heard about seven million US dollars, Gu Siwei immediately perked up and thought to himself: If you had talked about building a chip factory for seven million US dollars, I wouldn't be sleepy!

"Can it be built for seven million dollars?"

Gu Siwei still didn't believe it. He always felt that the three foreign devils in front of him were making a fool of himself.

In fact, it was Gu Siwei's later thinking that restricted him a bit. He didn't know that many American chip companies are now located in garages. When Micron was founded in 1978, there were only three people. The company's address was in the basement of a dental clinic. In 1981,

When the factory was built, it was located in an abandoned supermarket, and the purification workshop was converted into a cold storage. The equipment was purchased second-hand, and the entire construction cost US$7 million.

It's only 1973, and Gill has already grown up. Of course, the production line cannot be compared with companies like Fairchild, but it is definitely enough for EA's needs.

Now there is only one sentence left in Gu Siwei's mind: Seven million dollars can allow me to get involved in chip manufacturing?

This guy, Gu Siwei's little heart was beating loudly, like a drum.

Chip manufacturing, for future generations, if you see people saying that our family makes chips, I'm afraid I won't have the face to tell you that my family is richer than you.

Oh, forget, this is not a matter of money, this is currency!

How should I put it, Lao Gu couldn't hold himself back any longer.

Even if you just throw money at it, as a person who has come back from decades ago, as long as you have this money in your pocket, who can resist such a temptation?

As for punching IBM, kicking Intel, or sitting on AMD, Gu Siwei didn't even dare to think about it. He is not in this business. For chips, he only knows binary and octal at most. What do you want him to say?

He knows very little about how memory develops and how CPUs advance step by step.

While Gu Siwei was thinking about it, Gill and the other three were looking at their boss intently, and they were all excited now. The three of them had discussed it and felt that it would be best for EA to have its own chip company and not need a powerful one.

It's enough for EA's own use.

There is a door!

Now the three of them looked at their boss, and after taking a look at each other, they all felt that this was something serious, and the rich boss might really be able to pay for it.
Chapter completed!
