Chapter 258 Visiting Intel Headquarters
Sioux City is certainly very satisfied with the results of the experience store.
In just one day, the turnover reached US$100 million.
Moreover, the turnover tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will definitely be no worse than the first day.
In other words, in three days, you can get 300 million US dollars!
As for after next Monday, it is not yet clear to what extent it will drop.
As the big boss behind the scenes, Su Cheng is naturally the one who benefits the most.
Although he didn’t know how much money he would get in the end, it would definitely be no less, and it would be enough.
After hanging up the phone, Su Cheng took a shower as quickly as possible. As expected, he felt much more comfortable and no longer so tired.
Turn off the lights and go to sleep.
The next day, Su Cheng slept until noon before waking up.
The purpose of his coming to San Francisco is nothing more than to visit Intel Corporation. After all, this company can be regarded as his industry.
57.75% of the shares are enough for him to control Intel.
The driver drove directly to Intel in Santa Clara in the car prepared for them by Nick Talen, head of Hutchison Whampoa's California office.
The distance between the two places is actually not that far, just dozens of kilometers away, both in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In just an hour or so, Sioux City and the others arrived at the Intel headquarters building.
This is a high-tech park. There are no high-rise buildings around. Basically, it is mainly factories or buildings with several floors. The vegetation is very good, and Intel is relatively conspicuous among them. .
Sioux City had called Gordon Moore a day ago and told him that he would come to Intel headquarters at around two o'clock this afternoon.
So, when Sioux City’s motorcade arrived at the gate of Intel Corporation, they told the guard, who immediately opened the gate.
At the same time, the doorman also used the intercom to notify relevant company personnel of Su Cheng's arrival.
Intel's headquarters building is an 8-story building. When three cars parked in the parking space next to the building, Gordon Moore had already brought people to the first floor to greet Sioux City.
You can participate. Gordon Moore treats Sioux City with respect.
In fact, Gordon Moore could have found other investors to save Intel's future, but his first thought was Sioux City.
After all, Su City not only has funds, but also technical information that they urgently need.
Based on this alone, no matter how much money other investors give to Intel Investment, they will not be able to compete with the financier Sioux City.
Intel's technology has lagged far behind now, and it is no longer possible to slowly research it on its own.
Find a way to obtain Oracle computer technology to get back to the starting point of competition.
"Mr. Su, welcome home!" Seeing Su Cheng get off the bus, Gordon Moore smiled and stepped forward to shake his hand.
“The office environment here is really good. No wonder it has become the world-famous Holy Land of Silicon Valley!” Su Cheng said with a smile after shaking hands with him.
This is Sioux City’s first time coming to California and Silicon Valley.
Before that, although he had visited the beautiful country many times, he mostly went to New York.
"Mr. Su, let me introduce to you, this is Robert Noyce, one of the founders of Intel, and this is Andy Grove, one of the founders of Intel." Gordon Moore introduced to Sioux City.
Actually, today is the weekend. Normally, Gordon Moore does not need to come to the company to work unless it is a special situation of the company.
But in order to welcome Su Cheng, they all came to the company. When Gordon Moore introduced the other two big guys to him, Sioux City knew who they were.
Robert Noyce, the first CEO of Intel.
Andy Grove is the future third-generation head of Intel.
Gordon Moore is the first generation head of Intel.
In other words, these three people in front of you are the cornerstones of Intel.
It is precisely because of these three big guys that Intel will be brilliant in future generations.
"Hello, I'm Su Cheng, the boss of Oracle Computer Company." Although they definitely knew their identities, Su Cheng still introduced himself again.
This can be regarded as respect for the three big guys in front of you!
He did not talk about Su Group and Hutchison Whampoa Group, because there is no need. The reputation of the former is not as great as that of Oracle Computer Company in the beautiful country.
Both Robert Noyce and Andy Grove chatted with Sioux City for a while.
For Su Cheng, who was too young, the other two had to sigh, this is really a miracle child!
"Mr. Su, let's take you to visit our Intel headquarters first." Gordon Moore suggested.
"The relationship is good, please excuse me." Su Cheng smiled and nodded.
In the park, employees who work overtime walk by from time to time. When they see Gordon Moore and others, they will stop and say hello to them respectfully.
Everyone was quite curious about the fact that three company bosses were actually walking together with a young Asian-faced man, but they would not go to the following places to ask who Su Cheng was.
Although Intel experienced a serious downturn in the past few days, now with the surge in the stock market, the confidence of the company's employees is also growing.
Su Cheng followed them to visit multiple laboratories, R&D departments, production workshops and other places.
Today is Saturday, so there are not many people staying in the company to work.
And now, due to the technological stagnation of the company's products, production of the original best-selling products has been stopped.
Because everyone knows that the release of Oracle Computer's technologies will have a huge impact on the entire industry.
If Intel continues to produce, the first problem it will face is that there will be fewer buyers.
Just like LCD TVs have come out, but you are still mass-producing black and white TVs, and there is not much advantage in price, then you are looking for death.
After all, the price of Oracle computers is not too expensive compared with today's popular computer products.
If Oracle computers set a very expensive price, the blow to Intel would not be so fatal.
But today the price of an Oracle computer is only US$2,999, while IBM's 5110 computer costs nearly ten thousand US dollars.
At the same price, why don’t I buy a product with more advanced technology?
After visiting the entire Intel factory, Su Cheng followed them to an Intel employee lounge.
After a few people sat down, a waiter came up and asked them what they wanted to drink.
Su Cheng ordered a cup of Coke by the way, while Gordon Moore and others ordered hot milk tea and coffee respectively.
"What is Intel's next development strategy?" Su Cheng sat across from them and asked this question directly.
In other words, Sioux City is now Intel's controlling shareholder, controlling more than half of Intel's shares, and it is impossible to ignore Intel's future development.
Although he only spent three million US dollars, it did not prevent him from being Intel's major shareholder.
It can only be said that he has the foresight to spend such a small amount of money to win Intel.
