I Am the President of the University

Chapter 212: Grapevine from Silicon Valley

Latest website: "BOE has agreed?"

Chen Hao's eyes widened, looking incredulous.

Although Photon Screen defeated the opponent, he thought BOE would struggle to the death.

After all, Huaxing Mobile has released 300,000 photon screen mobile phones since its new product launch, and there have been no photon screen mobile phones on the market since then.

Did he really not expect that BOE’s boss would have given up resistance? ?

"After repeated lobbying by our rice company and the Beijing city government, BOE agreed to sell the B4 factory in Yizhuang, Beijing." Tang Donglin seemed to see hope, and his face turned red.

Chen Hao did not get dizzy, but calmed down. After some calculations in his mind, he calmly asked: "There must be some conditions, right?"

There is no free pie in the sky.

He did not believe that BOE would foolishly agree to sell.

"Ahem, of course there is."

Tang Donglin coughed slightly and said in an awkward tone: "BOE proposed two ways. One is to exchange the factory land for Guanghua Semiconductor shares, and the other is to sell the B4 factory with the original investment."

As if afraid of Chen Hao's rejection, Tang Donglin quickly said: "But don't worry, Principal Chen, the amount of investment previously promised by our rice company and the capital will not change. This money can be used directly to pay BOE."

“BOE has such a big appetite!”

Chen Hao snorted coldly, but did not refuse immediately.

He was thinking about the pros and cons.

Of course I won’t agree to the first condition!

As long as everyone knows about the prospect of photonic screens, how could he sell Guanghua Semiconductor's shares at will?

As for the second one, it’s also a bit deceptive!

BOE built the B4 factory in Yizhuang in 2009 and spent 28 billion yuan in the early stage of production.

The machinery and equipment inside will incur depreciation expenses over time.

The original price of 28 billion is really not worth it.

But what the other party said is a good idea.

As long as the other party's management leaves, Guanghua will send senior executives to take over the factory's transformation while taking control of the factory's strength.

Chen Hao did not agree, but thought about it for a while and then refused and said: "The price is too high. If it is 8 billion, I will agree."

"Eight billion..." Tang Donglin smiled bitterly as he listened. How could BOE agree to this price?

Chen Hao took a sip of tea and said nonchalantly: "I don't have to rush this. I'll take my time with them. When BOE sees that its screen market share is gradually being squeezed out, I believe they will take the initiative to come to negotiate."

Tang Donglin: You are not in a hurry, we are in a hurry!

He said anxiously: "Principal Chen, do you want to stop thinking about it? If it doesn't work, you can ask Beijing Bank to lend more."

Chen Hao still shook his head and said without letting up: "You have to pay back the loan, so it's waived."

"Okay, it's getting late. Manager Tang, it's time for you to leave."

Chen Hao looked at the time. It was already past 11 o'clock, and he should go to work later.

Faced with Chen Hao's eviction order, Tang Donglin looked disappointed and had no choice but to get up and leave.

No matter what, at least today is a big progress.

Maybe next time we step into this office, cooperation will be achieved.

While Chen Hao and Tang Donglin were discussing, Zhu Chen, who was at the research institute, suddenly received an unexpected call.

He saw that the caller was Wen Ping, then put down what he was doing and answered the phone.

"Wen Ping, what's the matter?"

A lewd laughter came from the phone, "Hey, senior brother! I have a little tidbit here. You will be very happy after hearing it!"

Zhu Chen frowned after hearing this and urged: "What's going on? Stop being so secretive and tell me quickly!"

Wen Ping is his junior brother and the same mentor.

In addition, they are still fellow villagers and are studying abroad in a foreign country, so the relationship between the two is still good.

In the past, Zhu Chen took great care of Wen Ping. During festivals, he would call him over to cook hot pot together to celebrate the festival.

Although there was less contact after returning to China, the feelings are still there.

The other party also put away his careless tone and said with a straight attitude: "It's Intel's business."

As if he hadn't heard anything, Zhu Chen asked in confusion: "Intel? What happened to the chip?"

Wen Ping said mysteriously: "I just received gossip today that Intel is planning to package and sell the AR department!"

"Really or not?" Zhu Chen said with a look of disbelief: "Isn't Intel acquiring a lot of smart wearable companies in the past few years and planning to develop smart glasses? How come it suddenly packaged and sold them?"

"If nothing else, it should be true! This Intel story has been spread in Silicon Valley, so it can't be false! And my classmates at Intel are considered to be high-level people who are having meetings to discuss this."

Hearing this affirmative tone, Zhu Chen generally believed it.

Silicon Valley is located south of the San Francisco Bay Area, a metropolitan area in northern California, the beautiful country. It is the nickname of the Santa Clara Valley where high-tech industries gather.

Silicon Valley was the first place where silicon-based semiconductor chips were researched and produced, hence its name.

This is also the kingdom of the electronics industry and the computer industry. The number of computer companies alone has grown to about 1,500, among which large companies include Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc.

Since it has been spread in Silicon Valley, it is probably true.

In an instant, Zhu Chen had an idea in his heart.

He said calmly: "Wen Ping, thank you for the reminder. I will find a friend later to ask more carefully. In addition to Intel, other companies related to AR and MR need you to help me pay more attention."

"alright, no worries."

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Chen made a few more calls.

The beautiful country is 12 hours behind China. It is now around 10pm on the other side, and most people haven't slept yet.

After making five phone calls and asking several big names in the academic world, Zhu Chen finally let out a long breath.

With his eyes closed, his mind was digesting the message he had just received.

Intel is indeed preparing to package and sell its AR business, but the asking price is not low, and may not be less than US$500 million!

The exact amount is yet to be determined.

Intel is beginning to contact companies such as Microsoft and Apple.

“Can’t miss this great opportunity!”

Zhu Chen gritted his teeth, got up and walked directly outside the institute.

I didn't even make the call, I went to the principal's office to talk to the principal face to face about this matter.

Currently, the leaders in the fields of AR and MR are of course Google and Microsoft. Although Intel is not yet in the top three, it has accumulated a lot of patents and technologies in this area.

If Intel's AR business can be acquired, then his research can be carried out in schools.

His research direction in Beautiful Country is this area, and this is also his strength.

Chen Chong, who also returned to China, has made great achievements in the photonic screen project he is responsible for.

And he is still wandering around here.

Just when Zhu Chen walked to the door of the principal's office, he happened to meet Chen Hao who had just walked out of it.

Chen Hao was a little surprised when he saw Zhu Chen suddenly appeared.

"Eh? Zhu Chen, why are you here?"
