Chapter 235 Intel is in a hurry
The reporters who had just left not long ago once again received their work arrangements from the headquarters: go to an IBM office building near Times Square.
Reluctantly, those reporters could only rush over to Su Cheng and others without stopping again.
They basically sent the draft of the morning press conference back to the company.
Originally, I thought I could rest comfortably while on a business trip.
Unexpectedly, there is still a job?
Soon, dozens of media rushed to IBM's office building from around New York.
When all the reporters discovered that in front of them, there was not only the president of IBM, but also the technical director of Kodak, the president of Storage Technology, the vice president of Texas Instruments, and the people who had just finished the press conference. When Yang Chaoye and others found out, it seemed that this matter was a bit important.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, a temporary press conference had been set up in the conference room.
More than a dozen big guys were sitting on it, and the one sitting in the middle was Yang Chaoye of the Su Group.
"I called you here today because of a statement jointly issued by 11 companies including Oracle Computer Company, IBM Company, Kodak Company, Texas Instruments Company, Intel Company, Storage Technology Company, and Hewlett-Packard Company." Seeing all the reporters, After getting ready, Yang Chaoye said.
Those who had a video recorder recorded everything. Those who did not have a video recorder used portable recording equipment to record the speech. More reporters took pens and quickly recorded the speech using the most primitive method. .
“On behalf of Oracle Computer Company, I signed a statement of commitment with the other 11 companies, committing to the hardware technology involved in the Oracle computer currently released by Oracle Computer Company, such as storage technology, processor technology, graphics card technology, sound card technology, etc., starting from today, these technologies will be publicly sold to these 11 companies at appropriate prices in 180 days. It is our corporate responsibility to jointly raise the technological level of the earth. Technology is the symbol of human civilization. It is the ladder of human progress," Yang Chaoye continued.
The detailed content was naturally given to reporters in written form in the joint statement, and Yang Chaoye did not read it in detail.
After Yang Chaoye finished speaking, the president of IBM took the lead in applauding, and then everyone applauded.
In the conference room with less than a hundred people, there was thunderous applause that did not stop for a long time.
Soon, Yang Chaoye handed a joint statement to the reporters and asked them to take pictures of the statement.
On the second page of this joint statement of several hundred words, there are more than a dozen big names in the technology industry co-signing, and the signatures are all stamped with their respective seals.
For these matters, people like Zhang Zhongmou, Kodak's technical director and others have naturally called the head office in advance to report it. For this kind of matter, there is no need for the head office to hold a slow meeting. All that is needed is to do it quickly. .
What to do if you don’t have the seal of the head office? Get the seal of the branch company.
Although the laws of the beautiful country do not mandate that contracts must be stamped, they are strict and naturally feel that it is better to stamp an official seal, which also represents their company's position.
Soon, this joint statement was photographed by all media.
Until now, the big guys above him breathed a sigh of relief.
If nothing unexpected happens, this news should be publicized through the TV station tonight.
The effect will only be greater when more newspapers and media publish the statement the next morning.
Su Cheng stood at the bottom of the conference room and looked at the smiling bosses. He also smiled.
This, why not advertise Oracle computers?
In half a year, the Oracle brand and even the experience store have been made known to everyone.
This is much better than investing money in advertising. Not only did you save a lot of advertising costs, but you also got a good reputation. Why not?
When the media hurried back, Su Cheng and Yang Chaoye also left IBM's office bosses together.
"Mr. Zhang Zhongmou won't go back to Texas so quickly tonight, will he?" Su Cheng asked as he walked.
"No, he will fly tomorrow afternoon." Yang Chaoye shook his head and said.
"That's just right. Help me ask him out tonight. I have something to talk to him about." Su Cheng said with a smile.
“Boss, do you want to lure him to Xiangjiang?” Yang Chaoye asked with a smile.
"Well, when I see Mr. Zhang Zhongmou, I seem to see you back then. Since he is not taken seriously at Texas Instruments and cannot use all his talents, then why not let him come and fight for me. Like you, I will give His greatest management authority," Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Okay, I will help you make an appointment with him later. Then I will also persuade him. Where will the location be?" Yang Chaoye asked.
"There is a Cantonese-style teahouse near here called Daohuaxiang Teahouse. Let's make an appointment to chat there then!" Su Cheng thought for a while and said.
Everyone is of Chinese descent, so it would be most appropriate to chat while drinking tea.
"Okay, by the way, boss, I have something else to tell you. Gordon Moore, the president of Intel, hopes to find a time to talk to me in detail about technology investment." Yang Chaoye smiled said.
"Oh? Are you getting anxious so soon?" Su Cheng was a little surprised.
“After all, Intel is only a company that has been established for only 10 years. It is different from IBM, Texas Instruments and other companies with decades of history. It has insufficient foundation. Although it has released several processors and gained everyone’s support, Yes, but the current computer market is still small, so large companies have their own processors, and only some small businesses use their processors, so the company's benefits are not very good. Now that our computers are released, they are even more powerful than Cutting off their escape route, if they take any further action, it will definitely be a disastrous consequence for them," Yang Chaoye explained.
Currently, Intel is considered a leader in the industry in the fields of processors, storage and other technologies that have not been announced by Oracle Computers.
But after Oracle Computer's processors, storage, etc. came out, their company's products were compared to backward garbage.
For Intel to study the processor technology of Oracle computers on its own, it will take at least seven or eight years. Can they afford it? Of course I can't wait.
So, the only option was to come to the door.
After all, Intel's capital itself is insufficient. If there is no product monetization, it will not be able to support their research and development.
“How much Intel equity do you need to invest in technology?” Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Boss, do you want to master Intel?" Yang Chaoye asked.
“No, I have no interest in controlling Intel at all.” Su Cheng said with a smile.
It would be fine for him to develop his own semiconductor company in Xiangjiang. As for Intel, Su Cheng can just hold a part of the stock and not interfere in their affairs, and let Gordon Moore and his team develop Intel.
Furthermore, he did not want others to know that he held Intel stock.
An Intel that is not disturbed is a good Intel.
"Then I think we can sign a contract with them and give them the technology first, and the money can be paid in installments." Yang Chaoye said with a smile.
