Rewrite the Technological Landscape

New Year’s Day in 2007 is a very special day. On this day, Bulgaria and Romania joined the European Union. On this day, a series of bombings occurred in Bangkok. On this day, CCTV’s overseas version was revised to speed up its export. On this day, Ban Ki-moon became the new Secretary-General of the United Nations.

On this day, more and more cities in China began to hold New Year's Eve events, and more and more young people took to the streets, chasing love and dreams wantonly. These young people are accelerating to break through the shackles of various traditional ideas. Become more and more brave, more and more uninhibited.

It is a pity that some education has not kept up with the pace of the times. The speed of open-mindedness of the older generation obviously cannot keep up with the pace of the young, which has led to many incidents that should have been avoided.

This day's trending hot search is very lively, and various domestic and foreign news are turning around. Even so, it still cannot stop the popularity of a piece of news.

ATI accepted the acquisition offer of Dafeng Group, and the final purchase price was 6.5 billion rice gold, equivalent to 48.8 billion soft sister coins.

Recently, we are catching up with the increase in the value of the soft sister coins that started in 2005. Although the soft sister coins will be more valuable after another two years, this matter cannot wait for so long. Meng Qian is already very satisfied to be able to increase by more than 10% compared to two years ago , I always feel that this deal is five billion Ruanmei coins cheaper.

This transaction deservedly became Huaxia's highest overseas acquisition price of a private company so far.

The news spread to China, and it was New Year's Day, and domestic netizens were just idle.

"Meng Qian spent 48.8 billion just like I spent 488 yuan."

"Sorry, I feel sorry for spending 488 yuan."

"This feels too fantastic. ATI was actually bought by our Huaxia company, so the price of domestic graphics cards will be crazy in the future."

"What's the matter with feeling so good, our Huaxia Enterprise has acquired ATI, it's a pleasure to think about it!"

"The Dafeng Group is really awesome, I suddenly look forward to the acquisition of Intel by the Dafeng Group."

"Don't even think about buying Intel, it's impossible."

"A few years ago, everyone would not have dared to imagine that Dafeng Group would acquire ATI, maybe it would."

The comments from domestic netizens are mostly happy and ridiculed. After all, for most ordinary users, it is not clear what political relations and interest competitions will be involved behind an acquisition. In fact, whether it is Geely’s acquisition of Volvo or Wanda’s acquisition of Legendary Pictures and AMC There are pushers behind the theater chains, and they all encounter political obstacles.

Compared with the purer melon-eating behavior of domestic netizens, the Western media seems to be a bit inflammatory, and several articles are spreading rapidly on the Western Internet.

The well-known American business media Business Insider published "Behind Dafeng Group's Acquisition of ATI: The Great Turbulence of the Global Technology Landscape". He Huaxia even despised Koryo and Neon without hesitation, saying that although these two countries have developed well in technology and have a solid foundation, they have essentially become the second echelon of the global technology structure.

On the contrary, it is the Dafeng Group, which has the momentum to attack the US technology giants. Does this herald the rise of Huaxia Technology?

The articles that seem to be praising the Dafeng Group are full of provocative flavors everywhere.

An article by Fast Company, a well-known business analysis media in the United States, also caused heated discussions, "AMD's defeat, unexpected or reasonable", the title looks normal, but the content is not objective at all. The article stated that before In the competition between AMD and Dafeng Group, the Western media almost overwhelmingly believed that AMD would win in the end, so the final result was unexpected.

However, what the article said was not objective, but took the opportunity to sell the China threat theory, and also accused the United States of letting go of the Dafeng Group, accusing the United States of not paying attention to China. The concept that loves to sell is the issue of China's military expenditure. Now a big wind group has emerged, allowing them to find a new topic. The rise of China's technology and the threat of technology have come.

CNET, known as the world's No. 1 IT news website, was not idle, and wrote an article "The Dafeng Group from China, an invader that should be paid attention to." This article summarizes the impact of the Dafeng Group on American technology over the years. , made a list of Dafeng Group's technology, but the topic changed inexplicably, and actually mentioned a problem very bluntly, the problem of Huaxia's system.

Ordinarily, it is an impossible thing to do, but the editor of CNET is awesome. He dug up the research and development experience of lithography machines, and then attributed the success of Dafeng Group to the Huaxia system, which directly raised a technological competition to a higher level. High level, and said that this is not just a technological war, but also a system war, amazing, no wonder it is said that the pen is the gun.

At the same time, the article did not forget to sow discord, saying that Neon and Korea are allies of the United States, but China is not.

Well, what this ally said is very good for Neon and Korea, but the problem is that people all over the world understand what this ally means.

Looking at these articles from the United States, Meng Qian was also very helpless, "No matter what the matter is, as long as there is an opportunity, it will be politically involved."

Later, Meng Qian attended the press conference with David.

At the press conference, the reporter was most curious about why ATI would finally choose to sell to Dafeng Group.

David responded very officially, "Gale Group and ATI share the same goal and vision. On the road of technological development, the cooperation between the two companies can produce more chemical reactions and possibilities, so we made a With this decision, we all believe that this transaction will lead to a better future for both of our companies, and this is the best outcome."

Well, saying it means not saying it.

On the other hand, Meng Qian's response is relatively dry, at least Meng Qian gave a clear development direction, "Next, we will make a comprehensive integration of the GPU business unit of Dafeng Group with ATI, increase investment and focus on the next generation The construction of the GPU architecture and the further improvement of the performance of the graphics card.

The purpose of this merger is to integrate the market and resources, talents and patents of the two companies. GPU has not had a real revolutionary breakthrough for too long, and it cannot keep up with the growing needs of users. Everything we do is In order to bring products to global users that can meet their needs faster. "

Judging from the market reaction, IBM's board of directors did not make a wrong judgment. Instead, users are looking forward to a better GPU, because the concept of APU is really too conceptual. Who knows what you can come up with in the end. Technology companies have sold concepts in recent years. Incidents of killing users have occurred year after year, and users are almost numb. It is better to concentrate on making a product that everyone urgently needs to improve like Dafeng Group.

Especially for fans of the ancient series, it would be great to think that the future series of ancient series will also have a breakthrough in the graphics card, which can satisfy both office work and games.

At the end of the press conference, a reporter asked Meng Qian about the various performances of the American media, "What does Mr. Meng think about the Chinese technology threat theory and the Dafeng Group invasion theory put forward by the American media."

Meng Qian smiled slightly at the camera, "I hope Miguo can be more confident."
