Reborn Capital Madman

As soon as he heard Gao Xian's conditions, Robert Noyce knew that he was being strangled by the other party.

However, Robert Noyce did not hold a grudge against Gao Xian for this.

After all, this is a turbulent business world, so everyone must be responsible for their original decisions.

What's more, Gao Xian's actions were quite kind.

After careful calculation, Intel only lost $120,000 in its mistake of ignoring the value of the microprocessor; Gao Xian had to pay for the other $420,000 in stocks.

In short, although the conditions for opening high strings hurt Robert Noyce, it is not unacceptable and can be regarded as a mastery level and is very appropriate.

But there is one thing, once the problem involves shares, Robert Noyce cannot give an answer on the spot.

Because, although Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore are the founders of Intel, Robert Noyce is just Intel's CEO. During the Intel creation process, he spent $2.3 million, accounting for $2.3 million.

Arthur Locke, a venture capitalist with an absolute largest investment ratio, is the chairman of Intel.

If Gao Xian wants to acquire Intel's shares before Intel's IPO, he must have Arthur Locke nodded.

So, Robert Noyce asked Gao Xian and said, "Gao, I need to go back and ask for instructions. You must wait for me in the United States."

"I can stay patiently waiting for you." Gao Xian nodded and replied, "By the way, after I sold all rights to the chip back to Intel, I must still enjoy preferential treatment for Intel's subsequent microprocessor products."

"I can agree to this condition now." Although I recognize the value of microprocessors, I have not yet linked the microprocessors, and the current situation, to the public, to Robert Noy.

Si agreed and confirmed, "Gao, you only have these requirements?"

Gao Xian sent Robert Noyce to the car and smiled, "Am I a greedy and mean person? I still cherish the cooperation with Intel, and these are the only conditions."

Robert Noyce is right to think about it. If Gao Xian just wants to suck the bones and suck the marrow on Intel and leave after making a big profit, then he doesn't need to remain interested in Intel's subsequent product discount conditions.

Gao Xian sighed softly after watching Robert Noyce's car leave.

Seeing this, Zhou Wenyao asked curiously: "Boss, do you feel sorry for that set of chips?"

Gao Xian shook his head and explained: "When Texas Instruments promotes its own four-bit microprocessor TMS        1,000, it regards the calculator as its first application scenario. With their style of taking advantage of it, I'm afraid, the calculator market is in the

The current situation will undergo earth-shaking changes."

Zhou Wenyao said: "What the boss means is that Texas Instruments will also make its own calculator while selling its own microprocessor products to calculator manufacturers."

"The money you earn by selling microprocessors may not be as much money as you earn by selling calculators. How could Texas Instruments be able to withstand it!" Gao Xian snorted.

You should know that before the emergence of IBM's personal computers, Texas Instruments was once an important manufacturer in the personal computer industry. However, unlike the well-known Apple computer, it can produce its own products with its advantages of CPU, memory and other important components.

The main route of low-price, which leads to the direct competitors being those home TV game consoles.

It was not until the North American electronic game market collapsed in 1983 and Texas Instruments, which suffered huge losses, that the hero cut off his arm and withdrew from the entire personal computer market.

And before he personally made a personal computer, Texas Instruments had done this in the calculator industry.

In contrast, Intel is much more "kind". At the beginning of its establishment, it set rules to not enter the field where there is a direct competitive relationship with its customers.

Fortunately, since Gao Xian knew this, he would not suffer any losses; as for other colleagues, he could only observe silently.

In the gap waiting for Robert Noyce's reply, Gao Xian sorted out the company affairs in the United States.

If you want to be rich quickly, start more companies and borrow more.

So far, Gao Xian has established Gaoyi American Company, Huanyu Electronics American Company, and Shanghua Culture American Company in the United States.

Although it seems that the names of these companies are affiliated with the companies in Xiangjiang, they are actually parallel.

In short, Gao Xian has created a group company with a prosperous development momentum, which is quite intimidating.

Fortunately, this momentum was enough to help Gao Xian calm down the next negotiation venue.

It turned out that when Robert Noyce came to visit again, he was not alone, but Intel President Gordon Moore and Intel Chairman Arthur Locke, all the senior executives were dispatched.

Looking at Robert Noyce's embarrassed look, Gao Xian understood that after the other party brought his conditions back, he was "criticized" by the shareholders.

Gao Xian can understand this.

One thing that must be pointed out is that Intel is not the big brother who dominates the CPU market at this stage; in front of Motorola, Texas Instruments, etc., he is purely a younger brother.

As a high-tech startup, Intel's uniqueness is that it was founded by Robert Noyce, the inventor of integrated circuits, and the financing process was quite smooth.

Even so, when Intel was founded in 1968, its capital scale was less than three million US dollars.

It is also because of this that Intel, which was in business difficulties last year, was extremely grateful to Gaoxian for replacing Bizcon, which retired, for investing $60,000 in chip development.

Now, Gao Xian's Intel stock, which costs $600,000, will definitely clearly touch the interests of Intel's old shareholders. Robert Noyce can't handle it, which is normal.

Among Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore and Arthur Rock, Arthur Rock had the most serious face.

Gaoxian estimated that resistance should mainly come from the Intel chairman.

Sure enough, after everyone sat in the conference room, Arthur Locke took the lead in raising the topic: "Gao, you are optimistic about Intel's stocks. Intel is of course happy, but the stocks you want are a little too many. Can the conditions be lowered?"

"I'm paying real money to buy Intel's stocks. Is it that difficult to deal with?" Gao Xian raised his hand disapprovingly and swept in the air. "Isn't it good to have an extra strong investor?"

Arthur Locke said very bluntly: "Intel, whose operations are on track, has stabilized its equity structure, so it doesn't make much sense to join at this time."

"Then let's forget about this transaction." Gao Xian shrugged without caring, "Buying and dealing will not be done. I'll treat three to dinner later."

Arthur Locke was choked and silent for a moment, then said again: "I mean, you lower the conditions and we'll complete the deal."

Gao Xian said impatiently: "If you bargain like this, I might as well ask for a million dollars in Intel stock at the beginning."

Arthur Locke couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Then you are suspected of blackmailing."

Gao Xian's face sank, "Locke, you should understand one thing. Intel took the initiative to buy back all the rights to buy back that set of customized chips."

"Since you are not satisfied with the conditions I have proposed, then don't make this transaction, so how can you say blackmail me?"

Seeing Arthur Locke and Gao Xian froze, Robert Noyce quickly smoothed out: "Gao, Intel is indeed sincerely buying back all the rights to that set of customized chips; Locke hopes that you will lower the conditions and consider the actual situation. Therefore,

Don't be angry, let's talk about it."

Gordon Moore tentatively said: "Gao, if you want so many Intel stocks, you will definitely become an important shareholder of Intel and enter the Intel board of directors. So do you have any ideas about Intel's next operations?"

Gao Xian suddenly realized something, glanced at Arthur Locke, and sneered: "It turns out that Locke is worried that I will be restless after entering Intel, and stole the chairman's throne."

"Gao, your behavior is called sitting and enjoying its fruits." Arthur Locke slapped the table angrily, got up and went out, and calmly went.

Gao Xian spread his hands innocently, and sneered in his heart, "I'm just sitting and enjoying the fruits of the fruits, you bite me!"

Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore looked at each other and both felt a little tricky.

Gao Xian made a gesture of concession first, "In this way, in order to reassure Locke, I can list one in the attachment, and I will not covet his chairman throne."

Robert Noyce smiled bitterly and said to himself, "Is this Gao pretending to be confused?" He never understood the real differences between everyone."

In fact, Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore are not incompatible with Gaoxian's conditions. After experiencing the business difficulties of the entrepreneurial stage, they think Gaoxian, who has good strength, can have an extra insurance after joining Intel.

To put it bluntly, as the founder of Intel, Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore's shareholding ratio is far less high than Gates's founders of Microsoft and future Google, Facebook and other founders.

Strong is naturally not so sensitive to Gaoxian's conditions, but Arthur Locke, who invested $2.3 million, is obviously not good.

Seeing that Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore did not express their opinions, Gao Xian took the cup leisurely and took a sip of coffee. At the same time, he thought to himself, "Is it really hard to rob the neck this time?"

"But then again, if you don't make a lot of money, you're sorry for my hard work!"

"Hmph, even if you fail to pick fruits, it will only cost 60,000 US dollars. The 540,000 US dollars that you didn't use is just for investment and financial management goals such as Deutsche Mark and gold. It's just a little longer cycle.

a little."

Gao Xian was thinking, Arthur Locke returned to his seat with a calm expression, "Okay, Gao, just trade according to the conditions you offered."

"However, you have to make sure that you will not interfere with Intel's operations after entering Intel's board of directors."

"I don't have so much time to go to the Intel board of directors to point fingers!" Gao Xian smiled lightly in the form of a winner, his eyes turned on Arthur Locke's face, and he couldn't help but feel moved, "Parents are enemies, this time picking fruits."

, Could it be that I will make enemies in the American venture capital industry, right?"
