Chapter 260 The result is no surprise
However, it is their outstanding capabilities that can turn Intel into a giant in the semiconductor industry.
So, coming from Su City 40 or 50 years later, it is natural to understand very well that for these three big guys in front of you, just give them time!
It’s all about helping him make money anyway, so why should he care so much?
Although Intel is temporarily lagging behind, Sioux City has suddenly lost a big deal. Let alone Intel, even a giant like IBM cannot catch up in the semiconductor field.
After waiting for a long time, the world will slowly return to order, and it will be a matter of time for Intel to rise again.
If he interferes too much, Intel will not be the same Intel.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Su Cheng followed Gordon Moore and three others to the 6th floor of the Intel office building.
Here is Intel's best conference room.
When Su Cheng stepped into the conference room, there were already more than a dozen people sitting inside.
Obviously, these are Intel's board members.
"Mr. Su, please sit in this seat." Gordon Moore pulled out the seat next to the seat hosting the meeting a little and let Su Cheng sit in it.
The person who presided over the meeting was naturally Gordon Moore, the current CEO of Intel. After all, the position of chairman of the board of directors is now vacant, and Sioux City has not yet taken office, so only he can hold this position. Qualified to sit.
At this time, everyone in the conference room looked towards Su Cheng.
As for Su Cheng’s identity, although it was the first time for everyone to meet him, they all guessed Su Cheng’s identity at once.
"The boss behind Oracle Computer Company and the current major shareholder of Intel!"
Su Cheng found that many people had kind smiles on their faces when they looked at him.
But it’s understandable if you think about it. After all, without Sioux City’s entry, Intel’s stock would have fallen to the point where it wouldn’t even recognize its mother.
The board members here all control Intel's stock to a greater or lesser extent, so the rise and fall of Intel's stock also involves their interests.
At three-thirty in the afternoon, everyone in the conference room was already here, and the door to the conference room was closed.
"I believe you all know what the board meeting hosted by me today is about. Yes, it is to elect the new chairman of the board of directors.
The previous chairman of the board of directors has submitted a submission a few days ago I believe everyone knows why he resigned. Now he does not hold any shares in the company, and he does not hold an important management position in the company, so it is no longer suitable for him to stay in this position, so The resignation is already doomed.
Before electing the new chairman of the board of directors, I would like to introduce you to a new shareholder member. Yes, it is the young man next to me. His name is Su. Cheng, his background should be clear to everyone without me explaining it, so I won’t say more here.”
Gordon Moore sat in the host position and took the lead in starting the speech before the meeting.
At this time, Su Cheng also stood up and said to everyone with a smile: "I am very happy to be a member of Intel. Intel is a very promising company. I am very optimistic about it. This is why I The reason why I want to become an Intel shareholder is that I sincerely wish Intel a better future!”
At the scene, Gordon Moore led the applause, and then the whole audience applauded.
Judging from the board members present, Intel is indeed a young company. Basically, everyone is under the age of forty. There are several of them. Su Cheng estimates that they are in their early thirties at most. .
As the first generation CEO of Intel, Robert Noyce is considered the oldest among them. He was born in 1927 and is only 51 years old this year.
As for Gordon Moore, he is 49 years old this year.
The future third-generation CEO Andy Grove is currently only 42 years old. When the applause gradually stopped, Gordon Moore continued: "Without further ado, today our board chairman election meeting has officially begun!
Our election is fair and transparent. All board members present can nominate themselves, and then all board members will vote. Of course, if no one nominates themselves, everyone will recommend them, and then all board members will vote!
Then, self-recommendation begins! "
After Gordon Moore finished speaking, the scene suddenly became silent.
Because except for Gordon Moore and Su Cheng, no one else would feel that, I am qualified to serve as the chairman of Intel's board of directors
Under normal circumstances, if Sioux City did not show up, the most qualified person on the scene would be Robert Noyce.
He is not only one of the founders of Intel, but also the first CEO of Intel!
Although he has now retired from the position of CEO, his prestige within Intel has not been lost at all.
Even current CEO Gordon Moore is not as prestigious as Robert Noyce.
However, since Robert Noyce stepped down as CEO, in addition to serving as a director of the company, he has become more obsessed with scientific research.
Originally, he was leading a team to conquer a key technology of integrated circuits.
However, now he has stopped scientific research on this technology because it is no longer necessary. The technology released by Oracle Computer not only covers the difficult problems of this technology, but is also ahead of this technology.
Therefore, it is completely unnecessary to spend a lot of money and energy on developing this technology. It is just a waste of time and money!
At this time, Robert Noyce stood up.
Just when everyone thought that Robert Noyce was going to nominate himself as chairman of the board of directors of Intel Corporation, Robert Noyce's words surprised everyone.
"First of all, let me explain that you don't need to elect me. Everyone should know my character. In addition to doing scientific research, I prefer taking risks. Everyone knows that I broke my leg while skiing last winter. To put it in an unlucky way , one day I have an accident, no one should be surprised. Judging from the scene, no one should recommend themselves to be our chairman of the board of directors. In that case, then, I am here, in my own name, to recommend Mr. Su Cheng as the new chairman of the board of directors. The first-term chairman of the board of directors!" After Robert Noyce finished speaking, he sat down with a smile.
Robert Noyce was free-spirited, open-minded and upright.
It is well known that he loves adventure the most. It seems that danger and excitement can relieve some of his inner conflicts and the pressure of life: skiing, paragliding, surfing, driving a Peugeot car or driving his amphibious vehicle. Dual-purpose aircraft.
"In my own name, I also recommend Mr. Su Cheng to be the new chairman of the board of directors!" At this time, Gordon Moore also stood up and said.
"I also personally recommend Mr. Su Cheng to be the new chairman of the board of directors!" Andy Grove also stood up.
The three most important founders all recommended Su Cheng to be the chairman of Intel's board of directors. The result was no surprise and the decision was basically made.
Because whether it is Robert Noyce or Gordon Moore, their prestige in the company is too strong, and they are both men who speak the truth.
As for Andy Grove, he is now equivalent to the third person in the company.
So, the top three figures have recommended Su Cheng as chairman of the board of directors, so what else can be changed?
Everyone raised their hands and agreed that Su Cheng would serve as Intel’s latest chairman of the board of directors.
At this point, Gordon Moore directly announced the result: "Then, I announce that the new chairman of the board of directors will be Mr. Su Cheng. Congratulations to our chairman!"
A round of applause broke out again at the scene. .
