Back To 1995 Chapter 720

   Chapter 720 Sharpening the knife

  When the hearts are scattered, the team is not easy to lead. The Alcatel mobile phone is playing the game of conspiracy, there is no skill at all, just relying on super high revenue, huge bonuses are distributed.

Upright, without a trace of skill, other mobile phone manufacturers, if they don't want to be poached, they will continue to increase the salary and treatment of technical personnel just like Alcatel mobile phones, as long as they can earn as much as Alcatel mobile phones. Do not feel bad for tens of millions of dollars as a bonus.

  The entire mobile phone industry has been swayed by Alcatel's gold-dollar tactics.

After the Alcatel mobile phone, Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson and other mobile phone manufacturers also announced to increase the salary of technicians. …

However, other small and medium-sized mobile phone manufacturers have suffered from **** mildew, fairies fought, and mortals suffered. Several major mobile phone manufacturers have increased their salaries. The first unlucky ones are these small manufacturers. After a few technical talents, they changed jobs in a blink of an eye. Or be dug up, after all, water flows to low places, people walk to high places, and watch their peers eat meat and drink heavily, who can not be jealous!

   "The mobile phone industry is undergoing a reshuffle!"

   This is a comment issued by the electronic technology media. The involution among mobile phone manufacturers will greatly increase the salary, which will definitely kill a group of small and medium mobile phone manufacturers.

Correspondingly, of course, the market share of several major mobile phone manufacturers may be greatly increased, that is, the giant manufacturers will eat more, while the small mobile phone manufacturers may be struggling to survive in the low-end mobile phone market. eat.

   This kind of thing will happen sooner or later, even if it is not the first one to be launched by Alcatel mobile phone, it will be launched by other mobile phone manufacturers, but this time Alcatel mobile phone has fired the first shot!

The headquarters of PA Semiconductor is in the same park as Alcatel Mobile. The Alcatel Mobile Park has been expanded several times, and its scale has grown a few times. However, a considerable part of the office buildings and laboratories are ceded to PA Semiconductor, Fortis Antivirus, and Sega mainframes. and other companies to develop and use.

   When Song Yang passed, PA Semiconductor was busy for a while. PA is no longer unknown. After the acquisition of ARM, PA Semiconductor has now become a one-stop service from processor design, research and development to production.

   Even chip giants such as Texas Semiconductor and Intel dare not say that they can push PA semiconductors in chip design. Instead, they may need to rely on ARM's design capabilities.

   In the mobile phone processing industry, with the help of Alcatel mobile phones, PA Semiconductor has already become a hit. The PA200 processor developed for Alcatel mobile phones is already a high-end chip in the mobile phone industry, not much worse than the high-end chips supplied by Texas Instruments to Nokia.

  Computer chips, PA Semiconductor is now the chip supplier of Apple Computer. As long as Apple Computer sells well, PA Semiconductor will naturally be able to make money.

PA semiconductors are now both mobile phones and computer chips. Relying on Alcatel mobile phones and Apple computers, it cannot be said that they can occupy half of the processor industry. Other chip companies other than Intel and Texas Instruments, what are the tactics to fight with PA semiconductors? Lean back…

   When Song Yang passed by, a group of executives of PA Semiconductor was in a meeting, and Marcus, the chief executive who was in charge of the money bag for Song Yang, was also among them.

Seeing Song Yang, Marcus came out of the conference room. There was no politeness between Song Yang and Marcus. When it comes to Song Yang's worth and the property in his hands, Marcus estimates that he is more than responsible for dealing with Song Yang. Greg, the legal counsel, needs to know more.

  Only Marcus knows exactly where Song Yang has invested in the past few years, and how many industries he has invested in. If those industries are reported, it will probably scare the gang of financial media.

   Not to mention other things, just say Yeadex invested by Song Yang in Lao Maozi, as well as the Star Wish Foundation established in China, the value of those companies invested in, the value of these years has been soaring!

  Only Marcus knows how many industries Song Yang has invested in besides the Internet. When the Internet industry is in recession, it will have an impact on Song Yang's worth, but in fact, the impact is not that big.

  Marcus's hair was meticulously combed, and when he sat there, he looked like a top financial accountant.

Since becoming Song Yangde's financial advisor, Marcus's private accounting firm has risen, and there have been many powerful figures who came to find Marcus in charge of finance. Here comes the second richest man in America!

   Even wants to make Marcus' accounting firm, those who handle finance, have a certain level of worth to be eligible.

Of course, for Marcus, the most important thing is still to help Song Yang manage those finances. The salary Song Yang pays him every year is more than his accounting firm, not to mention The fame and fortune brought to Marcus.

   "The acquisition of DEC's semiconductor division is not going well?"

  Song Yang asked Marcus. He heard that Dobble, the president of PA Semiconductor, who was in the conference room just now, was getting angry at a group of executives.

  As early as Song Yang's trip to Italy, PA Semiconductor had already started to acquire the DEC semiconductor division. As a result, the acquisition has not been completed until now, which is obviously not smooth.

   "DEC's asking price is too high, it's just a semiconductor department adding a brand, and now the asking price is 1.5 billion US dollars!"

  Marcus frowned and said, DEC is selling itself now, just thinking about selling at a good price, the others don't care at all, as long as they can be sold, they will all be sold.

   In order to sell at a high price, DEC also played a lot of tricks, recruiting Compaq, Intel, HP, IBM and even overseas manufacturers to let these manufacturers bid for DEC.

But there are no fools. Today's DEC group is more famous than its strength. There are still many good things, and there are also old funds. It is okay to let these manufacturers find out DEC, and let them play dog ​​brains for DEC. .

   To put it bluntly, it is still DEC that is outdated. The workstation computers and minicomputers that once made it prosperous were replaced by SUN, and the latter were defeated by IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Compaq.

Let DEC be proud. The chip department that used to be able to compete with Intel is now celebrating the new year with Wang Xiaoer. One year is not as good as one year. This year is not as much as PA Semiconductor. Offer, of course, is hesitant.

  Speaking of which, DEC, which is considered as an old tech giant, does not have a popular Internet company yet. Now, it is not difficult for any Internet company to sell billions of dollars worth of money!

Hearing that DEC dared to quote such an outrageous price, Song Yang couldn't help frowning. This is purely Zai Kaizi. On the DEC side, it was obvious that he saw the Alcatel mobile phone behind PA Semiconductor and wanted to knock it. Last one.

   "Which one is mainly competing with PA Semiconductor for the DEC semiconductor department?" Song Yang asked.

  Marcus said, "DEC invited non-semiconductor companies, but those semiconductor companies did not bid too high for DEC's semiconductors. Now, the most likely to compete with PA semiconductors is Intel!"

Going around, it still comes to Intel. This **** stick in the semiconductor industry is best at playing tricks. Even if it is the semiconductor department that gets DEC, it doesn't matter much to Intel, but Intel is still a horizontal bar. , do not let other semiconductor manufacturers, so easy to get.

   "That old Palmer guy, he's a traitor to DEC!"

   When he saw Song Yang, Dobble still scolded DEC President Palmer.

  Song Yang glanced at Dobopool. If Song Yang remembered correctly, Dobopool was much older than Palmer.

Facing Song Yang, Dobble was a little embarrassed. What he originally thought was that he would be able to cut through the mess quickly and take the semiconductors and the brand of DEC into his pocket immediately, but who would have thought that it would take so long to delay. .

   "The Palmer guy, the guys on the DEC board, they're a bunch of vampires who want more chips!"

   When it comes to DEC, Dobble always has a tone of hating iron and steel. When he was at DEC, although it was a bit sluggish at that time, DEC was still one of the leaders in the technology industry, and there are also cards.

   But now, it is the gang of sub-DEC boards who have brought DEC into such a situation. They even want to rely on the bottom of the sellers to make a lot of money. For this reason, they are even willing to go to the top of their former nemesis Intel.

   "Let's make a joint acquisition, find a company that is most interested in DEC, PA Semiconductor will join it to launch an acquisition to DEC, and Intel can also be brought into the acquisition group!" Song Yang said while looking at Dobble.

   Hearing that he was going to join forces with his nemesis Intel, Dobble felt awkward for a while.

Seeing Dobpoor's expression, Song Yang couldn't help shaking his head. It would be a good idea to let Dobopoor and these big technical experts go into research and development, but if they were to play with these methods, it would not be enough to look at, and they would be too cherished. face.

   If this is replaced by Bill Gates, it is estimated that they have already hooked up with Intel and started to scrape DEC points.

   In order to deal with Netscape before, what did Bill Gates and Microsoft do? They made the best of their ability to bend and stretch, and even their mortal rivals SUN, AOL, etc. could bow their heads, just to disintegrate their alliance with Netscape.

   "Intel can't be defeated in a day. Even if you get the Alpha processor and PA semiconductor that DEC is developing, it will at most cause trouble for Intel. If you want to replace Intel, it is definitely not something you can do now!"

Although later generations may criticize Intel and call it a toothpaste factory, it can become the overlord of the chip processor industry. Intel is not a vegetarian. Even if AMD and others have caused some trouble for Intel, they have not been able to put Intel Get off the horse.

Now Intel has pulled a number of computer manufacturers into its chariot, and has also formed an alliance with Microsoft. With PA's current body, it wants to challenge Intel in a fair and open manner, even if it is more optimistic about PA semiconductors. No one dares to say that PA Semiconductor can win this round.

   "Dr. Dobble, this time, PA Semiconductor, as long as you get the R&D personnel of DEC's semiconductor department, as well as the Alpha processor and DEC's label, it's enough to play against Intel, that's the future!"

   "As long as Apple Computer can return to the first-tier brand, PA Semiconductor and Apple form an alliance, plus the support of Alcatel mobile phones, Fortinet TV boxes, hardware firewalls and other brands, PA Semiconductor can compete with Intel in the future."

  Dobble understands Song Yang's meaning. Instead of biting a dog with Intel and finally getting DEC cheaper, it would be better for PA Semiconductor and Intel to join forces and scrape DEC.

  Acquisition of DEC's semiconductor department and split DEC's technology with Intel. Intel actually values ​​DEC's technology. Whether it applies to Intel or not, it is always safe to get it.

  Although his heart was uncomfortable, Dobble nodded and prepared to join several other manufacturers to dismantle DEC and win the DEC label!

  After coming out of the Alcatel Mobile Phone Industrial Park, Song Yang went to ICQ headquarters and attended several meetings. After returning to San Jose, a lot of things were waiting for Song Yang to sign.

After ICQ merged with Perfect Continental Telecom, the integration of the whole country started to integrate, but there was not much change in fact, that is, in name, ICQ became the parent company of America Telecom, but in fact, America Telecom still operated independently, and also transferred all debts. Given to ICQ, America Telecom is now debt-free and has issued several bonds with ICQ for the erection of lines and base stations.

  ICQ is not ready to stop, and is ready to make the accounts more beautiful, make the performance look bright, and then start a new round of big moves.

  In addition to ICQ, other companies invested by Song Yang are also eager to make a move. Double-click the company, ready to take advantage of the cusp of the Internet and swallow the Nielsen Data Research Company.

It is also Whitman, who is the president of eBay. Looking at Amazon, whose stock price has been doubling since its listing, he can't help it. After Amazon's listing, it is known as the first e-commerce stock, and it has begun to be sought after by the market. In less than half a year, the stock price has tripled, and the market value has exceeded $2 billion!

  Seeing Amazon's performance, Song Yang's eBay side was also eager to make a big wave. When Whitman held a conference call with Song Yang, he mentioned eBay's side and wanted to cooperate with PayPal to complete the listing.

   When the time comes, it is e-commerce plus the concept of electronic payment. The listing of eBay will definitely set off the market, surpass Amazon and become the first stock of e-commerce!

  People's hearts are floating, not only other Internet companies, but Songyang's side is no exception. eBay, PayPal, Fortis, and Sohu, which has invested in China, are all eager to move.

   At this time, big news suddenly came out in the technology industry. PA Semiconductor, Intel, and Compaq formed a joint acquisition group, quoting 8 billion US dollars from the old technology giant DEC, and officially launched the acquisition!
