HK641 Joint Press Conference Outrage! [Da Zhang He 1
.
Intel is very famous around the world. Whether it is personal desktop central processors, processors in the server field, or even the mobile field, Intel is the dominant presence.
Kissinger looked at Shi Lei eagerly. If Shi Lei configured it as he did, Intel would gain a lot of profits as long as the sales volume was not bad. After all, the configurations Shi Lei chose were all Intel's top server CPUs.
"Mr. Shi, are you sure this is the configuration?" Kissinger asked confirmingly.
Shi Lei replied with a smile and asked: "Mr. Kissinger, have you completed the testing of the xeon7000 series of server field central processors?"
Kissinger did not hide it, but nodded proudly, "That's right! Our Intel has already completed the market, and our Intel can do early sales."
Shi Lei looked at Kissinger with a smile and asked: "Mr. Kissinger, it is said that your company has a good relationship with nvidia? So regarding the graphics card equipment, I will leave it to you Intel to contact nvidia. Is there any problem?"
In fact, the relationship between Intel and Nvidia is not that good!
The relationship between Intel and Windows is great. One is the overlord of the hardware industry and the other is the king of the software industry. The two are known as the ultimate alliance of Wintel!
Kissinger chuckled, and the think tank staff next to him responded: "Mr. Shi, regarding the problem of graphics card equipment, Intel can solve it."
"That's good! We Dream Entertainment just need to get the final product." Shi Lei narrowed his eyes slightly, "Mr. Kissinger, regarding our Dream Entertainment customized server, in terms of OEM, it should be directly labeled with our Dream Entertainment
"Entertainment logo?" The identity of the foundry, but Kissinger is not willing to put the Dream Entertainment logo on the personal game server customized by Dream Entertainment.
"Mr. Shi, we can postpone the discussion on this matter. Now, let's discuss first what detailed requirements your company has for three servers with different performance and discuss the prices with each other." Kissinger weakened.
The concept of brand brings the problem to money.
Shi Lei was not good at price negotiation. He shrugged slightly and said, "Mr. Kissinger, you can give us a quotation for three servers."
Kissinger nodded. "Sorry. Give us some time, we need to discuss it. After all, Mr. Shi, you also know that Intel has not yet officially launched the xeon7000 series of server field processors."
On the surface, Shi Lei readily agreed, but in his heart he sneered. Although the xeon7000 series server CPU has not yet been launched, will there be no pricing from Intel?
Go fool Dianbai!
Five people from Intel stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and discussed quietly. Shi Lei compiled the price of the xeon7000 series server CPU from his memory into a text message on his mobile phone, and then handed it to Mu Shuang to read.
"Mu Shuang, I'll leave the negotiation to you. Please pay attention in a moment and make sure the price doesn't exceed the base price I gave you." Shi Lei said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, we have a greater advantage in this negotiation. We have multiple options. If we can't reach an agreement with Intel, we can also choose AMD as an alternative." Mu Shuang said calmly.
Shi Lei frowned slightly and whispered: "Mu Shuang, we can't cooperate with AMD this time! Even if we can't reach an agreement with Intel, we can't cooperate with AMD."
"Huh?" Mu Shuang looked at Shi Lei strangely, "If this is the case, the only choice is Intel. After a while of negotiation, the only choice is to give up part of the benefits!"
"No! You can talk whatever you want! It's better if Intel agrees to cooperate. It doesn't matter if it doesn't agree. Players will always complete the hardware configuration by themselves, and we don't need to worry about Dream Entertainment. We jointly release customized personal game servers with Intel, just for
Just make better use of the advantages of World of Braves." Shi Lei relieved Mu Shuang's negotiation pressure.
The hardware performance in 2007 was indeed not very good, but due to Moore's Law, computer performance doubled every eighteen months. After 2008, the somatosensory operating platform of the Brave World will be deployed on a large scale.
Therefore, even if the cooperation with Intel cannot be completed, there is no problem for Dream Entertainment!
Fifteen minutes later, five representatives from Intel returned to the conference table.
Kissinger took out a handwritten manuscript on A4 printing paper, put it on the conference table and pushed it over, motioning for Shi Lei to check it.
Shi Lei held down the handwritten manuscript with his right hand, pulled it over, and then pushed it in front of Mu Shuang. He said with a smile: "Mr. Kissinger, regarding price negotiations, the senior deputy general manager of Xia Guo District of Mirui Technology is still in charge. You all
Got acquainted?"
Kissinger nodded, said nothing, and just stared at Mu Shuang, hoping that Mu Shuang would nod to approve the offer.
On the A4 printing paper, the overall quotation of the three servers was written in English. Mu Shuang's English was very good, and there was no communication barrier in reading and writing. She frowned slightly and tapped the surface of the conference table with a signature pen, causing Intel to
Attention of personnel.
"Mr. Kissinger, is the price of the low-end version $3,400?" Mu Shuang asked.
In 2007, the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Xia Guoyuan remained at a high of 1:8. When converted into Xia Guoyuan, 3,400 U.S. dollars was equivalent to more than 27,000 yuan.
This price is a bit expensive. After all, it is just a low-end server. Even if it uses a high-end CPU, it should not be so expensive.
"Yes, given your company's high requirements for hardware, this quotation is very reasonable." Kissinger responded.
Mu Shuang refused to give in and said: "Mr. Kissinger, regarding the itemized price of the entire server platform, I wonder if you can explain it in detail?"
"No problem! Ms. Mu, according to Mr. Shi's request, the low-end version of the server uses four-core and four-thread processors. Each one is priced at US$999. With just two processors, it is US$1,998.
In addition, we will configure the top error correction memory, Intel original factory
Special motherboards for servers produced by WD, hard drives for servers produced by WD, and specially ordered chassis power supplies. In total, the price is 3,400 US dollars, which is almost the lowest price!" Kissinger said seriously, and his expression made people very willing to believe it.
He recognized this price as the lowest price.
But how could Mu Shuang believe him?
"Mr. Kissinger, regarding the price of the xeon7330 server CPU, the ideal price for our Dream Entertainment is $500." Mu Shuang slashed the price.
"No! No! This price is absolutely unacceptable!" Kissinger shook his head and refused. Internally at Intel, the launch price of the xeon7330 was defined as $799.
The price offered by Mu Shuang is $299 lower than Intel's customized listing price. This is an absolutely impossible price!
Regarding the price of US$500, Mu Shuang did not expect Kissinger to agree.
Intel is asking for a lot of money, so Dream Entertainment can naturally counter-offer!
Mu Shuang smiled and said: "Mr. Kissinger, why don't we each take a step back. Our dream entertainment can increase the price to 600 US dollars, what do you think?"
Shi Lei was sitting next to him, writing a series of lists on a blank A4 paper with a signature pen. This time, the negotiation was only handed over to Mu Shuang, which was obviously a bit reluctant.
Mu Shuang is indeed a master of business negotiations, but the content of this business negotiation is not conventional, but involves computer hardware performance and price.
Shi Lei was obviously more familiar with this aspect, while Mu Shuang didn't know much about it.
Shi Lei quickly wrote out the detailed configurations of the three servers, high school and low, as well as the detailed item prices, and handed the A4 printing paper to Mu Shuang.
Mu Shuang glanced at Shi Lei, and then began to bargain with Intel based on the information provided by Shi Lei. The entire negotiation process allowed Shi Lei to see what the power of professionals is.
Mu Shuang did not understand the price of hardware, but after Shi Lei gave him price guidance, Mu Shuang quickly stabilized the situation and repeatedly suppressed Intel's Kissinger during the negotiation process.
Mu Shuang fully demonstrated what is called bluff. Shi Lei had clearly said that he could not cooperate with AMD, but Mu Shuang borrowed AMD's name and made some price concessions.
In the end, the negotiations between the two parties lasted for two hours and finally reached a basic consensus agreement.
Low-end personal game servers, code-named "Sophisticated Vidia professional graphics computing graphics cards, and solid-state drives that are just starting out are also equipped with a 64GB one to build a hybrid disk system."
It has to be said that Mu Shuang's negotiating power is very strong. The global price of a server configured in this way is only 1,999 US dollars, and the price in the Xiaguo low-end area is 15,999 yuan.
The mid-range model is codenamed "Shine S". Due to Mu Shuang's large-scale cost reduction, and verified by Xie Hui, it can perfectly run the somatosensory version of World of Brave. Therefore, in terms of the central processor, the xeon7310 was downgraded.
Compared with the xeon7330, the main frequency of the xeon7310 processor has been reduced from 2.6ghz to 1.6ghz, which is a decrease of about 40% in the main frequency!
However, because Shining S adopts a four-way design and has four xeon7310s working together, the final performance exceeds the xeon7330 dual-way configuration by a large margin.
Shine S is also equipped with top-level professional computing graphics cards, and has a dual-card SLI design, as well as a temperature-optimized design. The price reaches 5,999 US dollars and 47,999 Xia Guoyuan.
The high-end model of personal game server, codenamed Tianci G, has been upgraded to use the xeon7350 processor, with a main frequency of 2.93ghz. Of course, the price of a single unit has reached 1,200 US dollars.
The price of just a four-way xeon7350 is almost $5,000!
There is also a 256GB solid-state drive and graphics processing center, which can support the special effects of World of Brave to the greatest extent. The price of the Tianci G series personal game server has reached the height of 17,999 US dollars or 143,999 Xia Guoyuan.
However, even the Tianci G series, a high-end personal game server, is actually unable to fully activate the full special effects and high-definition resolution settings of World of Brave.
If you want to truly fully experience the charm of World of Brave, you will have to use a million-level graphics processing server to achieve perfect operation of World of Brave.
For rich people who need a million-level graphics processing server, Dream Entertainment provides the ultimate customized server. It will also be handed over to Intel for OEM processing.
After the two-hour business negotiation meeting was completed, Mu Shuang summoned the personnel from the legal department to discuss the contract with Intel's legal personnel.
Another hour later, the two parties finalized the contract. Intel customized three personal game servers for Dream Entertainment, and Dream Entertainment will make global online reservations and sales on the official website.
Regarding the brand of the server, Intel was unwilling to give in, and Dream Entertainment was not willing to give in either. In the end, they adopted a compromise solution and announced that the server was a joint product, with both Intel's OEM and Dream Entertainment logos.
After the contract between the two parties was signed, a celebration banquet and a press conference were naturally held to let the outside world know that Dream Entertainment and Intel had cooperated.
Mu Shuang had already made arrangements for these matters. When the negotiations were completed, Mu Shuang had already given instructions. From the location of the celebration banquet, the on-site arrangements of the press conference, and the invitation of reporters, everything was done in place.
.
When Dream Entertainment announced that it had officially reached a cooperation agreement with Intel, it caused an uproar!
In the past few months, Dream Entertainment has been a staunch supporter of AMD. Whether it is the sales lottery of AMD central processors or the strategy of bundling sales with AMD's ATI graphics cards, Dream Entertainment and AMD are closely related.
A seamless partnership.
There is even news that Dream Entertainment’s main server also uses AMD’s supercomputer.
It is already April 7th and April 30th, and World of Brave will officially open its closed beta test. At this juncture, Dream Entertainment and Intel announced a cooperation. Does this mean that Dream Entertainment has switched to the Intel camp?
Dream Entertainment first revealed the news through a press conference. Some reporters publicized the news online, but a large number of players did not believe this information.
But when it was close to five o'clock in the afternoon, the homepage of the official website of Dream Entertainment released a news announcement update. When it was close to five o'clock in the morning, Lijian time, Intel Corporation simultaneously released the cooperation information with Dream Entertainment Company on its official website.
The announcement on the official websites of both parties has undoubtedly completely detonated the entire Internet world, allowing players around the world to speculate on what Dream Entertainment is going to do.
In particular, the official player forum of Dream Entertainment has gathered players from all over the world, and the discussions among players are very lively. Players in the Lijian region are happy that Intel is in Lijian, which means that they will be the first to experience the cooperation between the two parties.
Results.
Some staunch supporters of AMD expressed their protest against Dream Entertainment, believing that Dream Entertainment had betrayed AMD and betrayed the players. However, such remarks were immediately drowned out by other players because Dream Entertainment is not a subordinate of AMD.
What kind of betrayal does the company have?
Despite all the speculations in the official player forum of Dream Entertainment, how could they have guessed that Shi Lei's goal was to acquire AMD?
All this is just to build momentum for the acquisition of AMD...
