Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Gale Group joining the WiMAX camp immediately became a hot news in the IT industry.

"Gale Group joins the WiMAX camp, does it indicate China's attitude? "

"New changes in the development of WiMAX, Chinese giant Dafeng Group joins in, will European companies be under greater pressure? "

"Huami technology companies have joined hands to enter a new era, and the communication landscape is about to usher in a big change? "

Netizens also had various discussions on this.

"It's so confusing. Microsoft and Intel were fighting against Dafeng IBM before, but now Intel is forming an alliance with IBM and Dafeng Group. Is this going to abandon Microsoft?"

"There is no permanent enemy or permanent friend in the mall. Everyone just gets what they need. This year, Microsoft will not cooperate with Sun Micro. In the past two years, it was life and death. I think Sun Micro recently seems to be betraying IBM. And the meaning of Dafeng Group."

"I feel that the United States has always suppressed the development of China's technology. This cooperation seems to indicate something. If the United States and China can really cooperate, it is quite exciting."

"The relationship between China and the United States has been quite good in recent years. Maybe it means to move towards comprehensive cooperation?"

"The Gale Group joins the WiMAX camp at this time, and the pressure in Europe can be imagined."

"I remember that Dafeng Group has been actively participating in the development of LTE. At this time, it suddenly switched to WiMAX. The world is too complicated."

In many things, except for the parties concerned, it is really difficult for outsiders to see the truth clearly.

And all kinds of conjectures naturally spread to Canada and to ATI. David of AIT held a meeting with the directors of the board of directors. Because of Meng Qian's appearance, AMD's acquisition process of ATI was completely disrupted. With a higher acquisition price and a more reasonable acquisition plan, it is impossible for ATI not to be tempted.

But the problem is that the will of the United States that Meng Qian guessed has emerged. Let alone Canada these days, it is quite easy for the United States to suppress Chinese companies even in Europe. After all, no matter how hard they fight, some essential things still need to be Much closer than China.

At this time, the card in Meng Qian's hand, IBM will play a crucial role.

In the US technology circles, there is a very important phenomenon. One of the core influencers of this phenomenon is the US ally chosen by Meng Qian, IBM.

What kind of existence IBM is in the United States, this thing can definitely be written into a novel.

It is no secret that the major shareholders of companies such as Intel, AMD, and Nvidia are all from the same funds, but it is not known whether the major shareholders of these funds have the right to speak. Based on Meng Qian's current understanding of the fund It stands to reason that they have no right to speak, at least no right to make decisions, and they are here to invest and make money.

In addition to the major shareholders of the fund, these giant companies in the United States also have shareholding crossovers. What's more interesting is that there will be management moves. Here I have to mention the history decades ago. When I started, I relied on IBM to reward me with meals.

The former IBM was a bit like today's Dafeng Group, which drove the vigorous development of a group of American technology companies. The only difference may be that from the very beginning, Meng Qian rushed to the future to confront the United States head-on, while IBM never I never thought about confronting any country head-on, just to get a deeper foundation in the United States and make more money, forming the IBM department in the United States.

However, shopping malls have always been cruel. Although these companies were once called the godsons of IBM, after the first batch of managements left, the shares were gradually diluted. How many descendants still remember IBM's past kindness and promotion Well, slowly, IBM's godsons began to be their own godfathers.

This is why IBM helped Intel develop X86 so much in the first place, but proposed its own cell processor in the 21st century, because these godsons are going to rebel.

However, it is inevitable that the relationship between AMD and ATI has been acquired. AMD’s acquisition of ATI has been exposed. AMD’s cash flow is not enough, so AMD actually borrowed money to acquire it. Where did the money come from? Now it is said that it borrowed from IBM. Although IBM did not admit it.

But in the eyes of media people, IBM does not admit that it is just taking care of Intel's ideas.

Including recently there has been a saying that almost the whole world believes that Intel should acquire ATI. Why does Intel seem to have no big reaction when AMD acquires ATI now? Because there is IBM behind this matter.

When it comes to the deepest and deepest things, just like those who don't understand why Dafeng Group joined WiMAX, Meng Qian can't see through it, but various events and clues show that IBM is indeed behind this acquisition, and Meng Qian What is being used now is the psychological change in IBM's heart at this time.

That is, IBM wants to control more of the future, and realizes that these godsons are unreliable.

AMD has been using Intel's X86 all the time now. The slogan for this acquisition is to integrate CPU and GPU and create a so-called APU.

The Dafeng Group has its own architecture, and now there is another situation that the cell processor performs very well, that is to say, in the field of general-purpose processors, IBM holds the power architecture, and in the field of servers, IBM holds power. In the field of application processors, Dafeng Group has a new architecture, which IBM has certain control capabilities.

If it develops, IBM will take almost all in the processor field. Secondly, the cash flow of Dafeng Group is much better than that of AMD. Meng Qian told IBM that the development strategy after the acquisition is different from AMD, and will develop CPU and GPU separately. , in IBM's view, it feels more reliable.

More importantly, Meng Qian promised IBM that everyone would engage in a joint acquisition. After buying ATI, Dafeng Group would integrate and create a brand new GPU company. IBM could take a stake at that time, but the decision-making power had to be in Meng Qian's hands.

Therefore, after comparison and consideration, IBM will feel that it can get more from cooperation with Dafeng Group. What can AMD give itself? An APU concept that is invisible.

IBM is doing things now, but the premise must be based on its own interests.

As for whether it will bring up a Chinese company, it’s still the same sentence. The relationship between the two countries is very good now. Why do you think so much, and IBM is actually a very confident company in Meng Qian’s view. Quan's shareholders have always felt that with the comprehensive strength of the United States, is it possible that there will be a day when China bullies the United States?

Just like companies such as Samsung ASML have to hand over certain control rights when they cooperate with American companies, Dafeng Group has also given it, but it has only been given to IBM.

What IBM is ignoring now is that the development of Dafeng Group is too comprehensive, and what will happen if there are several Dafeng Groups in China in the future.

Of course, this is all for later.

The only thing IBM needs to worry about is the ideas of politicians. After all, politicians not only consider simple things such as technology and business, but also consider more comprehensively. Different politicians represent different interest groups.

Therefore, there has been a deadlock regarding the acquisition of ATI by Dafeng Group.

Until Gale Group joined the WiMAX camp.

Because this matter is something that the American authorities really want to succeed at the moment. When the three giants Intel, IBM, and Motorola decided to let the Dafeng Group enter the game through discussion, the attitude of the higher authorities was naturally a bit relaxed.

Some things should be turned a blind eye to some things. Anyway, didn't IBM say that he can hold shares, and can get patent authorization, priority purchase rights and the like.

Besides, don't we still have Nvidia, a company in the United States.

then

At the shareholders meeting of AIT, David, who wanted to sell the company to the Dafeng Group, raised a very realistic question. AMD, which does not borrow money from IBM, can't afford so much cash at all, so it proposes to pay in installments

"Whether it is CPU or GPU, they have now entered a stage of fierce competition. AMD is so poor, what should I use to support the two projects? What should I use for APU integration? In contrast, Dafeng Group needs money and people. As a Chinese company The company can maintain such a good relationship with the United States, the purchase price is also high, and the cash settlement can give us more autonomy, and I heard that IBM will also invest in the future. Is it reliable?"

Shareholders are also people who are good at distinguishing situations, and they can understand some things.

The transfer target of the pusher IBM, the deliberate favoritism of the CEO David, the support of the iconic Canadian giant Nortel, the temporary resignation of the US official, and the sincerity of the Dafeng Group's acquisition plan, some things can finally be dusted. deal.

On December 30, 2006, Meng Qian came to Canada again.

Thank you for the real reward of Pili Puppet Show!
