Chapter 644 It’s so Painful to Watch You Make Money
Facts have proved that a person's subjective initiative needs a combination of external stimulation and internal self-motivation to reach its maximum level.
Yuan Sheng has also been in the president's office for a few years. At the beginning, he saw his colleague Zhou Yi working as a clerk beside General Manager Gu for two or three years, and then he was "demoted" to work in the department. Then he was promoted all the way and now he has become a vice president.
How could he not understand the fate of this?
It is obvious that this time to discuss cooperation with AMD is General Manager Gu testing his own quality and whether he can also be "demoted".
Thinking of this, Yuan Sheng was so excited.
The AMD executive team that arrived in Chengdu on the afternoon of September 3rd learned what "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, hold on, this young man!"
Bang!
AMD President Su Ma, who has always been cultured and intellectual to the outside world, slammed the car door.
Her chest was heaving, but her eyes were as sharp as a female leopard.
The shouting of the young man just now was still echoing in her mind.
"Your company first proposed a price of $28 billion, divided into eight years, with $2.5 billion in the first year.
The Titan processor's architecture, stacking design patents, special material processing technology, and system framework are all soft products. I think any one of them can be sold at a good price.
What we need at Jiuzhou Technology is overseas partners, not bandits who come to collect money, even if they are female bandits!"
This deafening voice now makes General Manager Su depressed.
But after taking a deep breath for dozens of seconds, she told the assistant beside her: "Notify the publicity department that the news can be released, and notify the board of directors. Tomorrow I will bring a new version of the contract to negotiate with them. If you don't want AMD to go bankrupt, agree to this damn contract!"
The assistant nodded timidly and agreed, then started sending messages with his fingers flying.
The wind today is very noisy.
In the morning, the news that Nvidia and Jiuzhou Technology's $45 billion contract was finalized was released, and in the afternoon, AMD broke the news of its intention to cooperate with Jiuzhou Technology on a $28 billion project.
The U.S. stock market instantly boiled, and various indexes soared.
The news that Jiuzhou Technology's technology had security vulnerabilities disappeared in an instant, and the only thing left on the Internet was that top European and American companies bought the intellectual property rights of Daxia Semiconductor Technology's top companies.
Bloomberg, a professional media outlet, published an article saying: "These acquisitions will bring the future science fiction world one step closer to us. A beautiful, intelligent digital era."
The Wall Street Journal even published the title: "The Metaverse is about to open", cheering like a horse picking up a nugget of gold.
The most ridiculous thing is that these media have selective amnesia, and there is actually a large wave of people who blindly follow them.
Originally, a certain department in the United States wanted these companies to give up the idea of cooperating with Jiuzhou Technology, but Han Xing rushed out and bowed, causing Han Xing's stock price to rise. Nvidia's Huang rushed over to give money without adjusting his jet lag, saving Nvidia's market value. These two big moves gave the financial markets of Korea and the United States a shot of adrenaline.
The Wall Street chaebols were naturally happy to reap the harvest, so how could they be willing to have a lackey to ruin this business?
"Please, Charles, our group is a big taxpayer! How can we let them withdraw when we hold so many Nvidia, Hanxing, and AMD stocks?
You don't want our group's earnings to decline, do you?
Oh, by the way, your old boss, Uncle Lawrence, is very happy working as an industry consultant in our company. If everything goes well, he should get a dividend of one million US dollars this year."
The voice on the other end of the phone paused for half a second, and then the voice of "Happy cooperation, long live understanding" resounded throughout Wall Street.
The institutions and retail investors who sold Nvidia and other company stocks when the stock price plummeted before were heartbroken at this time.
In the coffee shop next to Wall Street, people can be heard wailing from time to time.
"I cleared out all my Nvidia stocks at that time. Now it seems that I lost at least half a million dollars!"
"These damn financial oligarchs and technology companies, and that damn Daxia Jiuzhou Technology, they must be the devils who have joined forces to reap our wealth! Can a project worth tens of billions of dollars be negotiated in just a few months? They are all liars! They are all liars! Woo woo woo."
Of course, the wailing is actually a minority. Even those who have cleared their positions and lost money are now most skilled in adding positions to reap the rising dividends.
In forums and communities, many netizens are like gamblers betting on horses, watching their chosen horses lead by one position, watching their stocks rise a lot every hour, and rising a lot every hour, and their faces are red with excitement.
"OHOHOHOH!!! That's it, baby! I love you so much, Dr. Su, please sign the contract quickly, just like NVIDIA, I have already bought your stock!"
"When I saw Hanxing's stock price rebound, I knew that NVIDIA would not be able to resist looking for Jiuzhou Technology to cooperate. At that time, I secretly bought a few shares. Now it seems that I should go all in!"
"Daxia's technology will make NVIDIA and Hanxing successful, and we will also have our own metaverse!"
Under this market sentiment, Qualcomm, as Hanxing's "old customer", also announced its quarterly revenue in a timely manner.
The major supplier of chips for mobile phones, cars and other devices headquartered in San Diego, USA, announced on September 4 that the company's sales for the quarter ending in August were US$30.014 billion and its net profit was US$9.11 billion.
Qualcomm said that revenue from mobile phone chips grew 56% to $6.33 billion, revenue from IoT smart device chips grew 61% to $1.72 billion, and sales of automotive chips grew 41% to $339 million.
Of course, what attracted investors' attention the most was that a Qualcomm spokesperson swept away the ambiguity of the last time and directly reported: "Hanxing and Qualcomm have a close cooperation agreement. In the future, Qualcomm chips will also be the first to use Hanxing's new semiconductor chip foundry technology, which is expected to reduce costs by 20% and improve more performance and yield."
Qualcomm's stock also began to take off.
Although Pingguo and TSMC are also making money and profits, in the commercial market, watching peers make money is more uncomfortable than making money yourself.
Paparazzi reporters even filmed that Pingguo CEO Kuko's eyes were red with anger when he left the company after get off work.
It's no wonder that Kuko was so excited. In fact, in the global semiconductor market, Qualcomm and Hanxing are really closely tied. Qualcomm chips account for three-quarters of the share of Hanxing's smartphone Galaxy S22, which can be seen.
Pingguo was able to forcibly take over all the market share of TSMC's most advanced chip foundry when the market share was tight. The information contained therein was also not concealed at all.
