"Mr. Qin, we agreed in principle to cooperate with you. We can give up 10% of our shares. " Gary said.
Qin Feng smiled.
"I think we''d better meet and talk!" Qin Feng said.
Then, the four met in the cafe where they met yesterday.
"Shares, 10% certainly can''t. Too little, and my technology and the profits I bring are far more than this share! " Qin Feng said.
"How much do you want?" Asked Greg.
If Qin Feng wants too much, they won''t agree.
"The three of you hold about 40% of the company. In this way, I only need 15%, but I must have the right to vote. " Qin Feng said.
Now 3dfx company has been listed, with 45% of the circulating shares in the world, 40% in the hands of their three founders, and 15% in the hands of other shareholders of the company.
Qin Feng wants this 15%. Of course, this does not mean that the shares of other shareholders are given to Qin Feng. Instead, the company adopts additional issuance or everyone allocates some shares according to the shares.
Of course, Qin Feng also has to pay.
This is not to get shares for nothing, but to give money according to the market value.
According to the current share price, Qin Feng needs to spend $45 million to obtain this 15% share.
It will take two years. At this price, almost the whole company will be acquired.
The three nodded. The price is almost within their acceptance range.
"However, if you can''t let Sega continue to purchase our orders, and your technology can''t satisfy us, or bring us significant changes, then this transaction is invalid!" Gary said.
"Of course!" Qin Feng nodded.
Then the two sides happily signed the contract to terminate the treaty.
"Later, I will go to SEGA and negotiate with it. Now, first of all, I hope you give up STB board manufacturers. " Qin Feng said.
"Give up?" The three frowned, but nodded quickly.
They are also anxious in this cooperation. Because they did not achieve the results they wanted, they angered many board manufacturers to stop producing their graphics cards.
In this way, they are the only ones in the world to produce. The STB plant they acquired could not meet the performance requirements at all. And the yield is not enough. As a result, their current market share is not enough.
Therefore, they also have the heart to give up. It''s just that I can''t make up my mind at the moment.
"My company, Kyushu IT Technology Co., Ltd., will be responsible for the acquisition of STB company. After that, it will be mainly used to produce voodoo (voodoo) graphics cards. With my Chinese human resources, I believe I can reduce the selling price of your graphics card. " Qin Feng said.
This is also good for Lei Jun.
After all, Qin Feng''s ambition is great, and he is not in the computer market.
The real market is the future mobile phone market. Because in the future, smart phones will kill almost all competitors.
Computers, cameras, tape recorders, MP3 players and so on, almost everything was killed by smart phones. Smart phones also need display chips.
Therefore, early acquisition is always beneficial.
Of course, Qin Feng also needs to make the company''s deficit bigger.
Let no one dare to make such an idea.
"OK!" Ross nodded.
In this way, they return to the tradition and become a simple display chip manufacturer, so they will not cause the dissatisfaction of many board manufacturers.
"As for technology, it''s very simple!" Qin Feng smiled, "my proposal is to build a GPU!"
“GPU?” The three were stunned.
"Yes, it is to add a CPU dedicated to processing graphics to the existing display core." Qin Feng said, "in this way, the graphics card can greatly reduce its dependence on CPU. You can use a cheap CPU and a graphics card with GPU to realize the picture performance of far more expensive CPU and expensive graphics card." Qin Feng said.
Greg, Ross and Scott looked at each other and their eyes lit up.
Their voodoo (voodoo) 3 graphics card, why the development is slow, the reason is that it is difficult to improve. They don''t know how to improve. This leads to their confusion and confusion, so the development is also very slow.
Qin Feng pointed out a bright way for them.
Indeed, the unilateral promotion of the display core is very limited. However, if you add a CPU to form a GPU and integrate it, the performance of the graphics card will be greatly enhanced.
In particular, now the display core frequency is only 110Mhz, while the CPU core frequency has reached 400MHz. The gap between the two is too big. If GPU is manufactured, the performance of the graphics card will be greatly improved all at once.
And, more importantly, the volume of the graphics card can be much larger than the CPU. This leads to the GPU core of the graphics card can be made larger and surpass the CPU, so the performance can also surpass the CPU. As for the heating, is the heating of the graphics card a problem?
CPU heating will be more troublesome, because its core is so large, but the graphics card is so large, it is easier to manufacture the corresponding radiator.
This is exactly like opening a world.
"Qin Feng, your technology can indeed change the stock of our company. I think we finally found the way to break the window. Thank you! " Gary held Qin Feng''s hand tightly.
Qin Feng grinned.
"I send you a message. Don''t you think it''s difficult to break through the CPU. You go to ATI and buy the CPU department they gave up. They have also developed CPU. It is said that the performance will surpass Intel, but the cost performance is too poor and the yield is not high. But I think it''s a promotion for you! " Greg said with a smile.
ATI has also opened the CPU? Qin Feng''s eyes brightened.
It seems that this is an unexpected harvest.
"Thank you very much!" Qin Feng said with a smile, "of course, when I come here, there is another point. Since we have cooperated, I hope voodoo (voodoo) can also be developed and loaded directly into the cheap graphics card core in the CPU. In this way, those players who have no money can also buy a cheap computer. Of course, this may be a little difficult. However, the video memory core loaded on the motherboard can be developed, so that the motherboard can directly load the video memory. For players, it is also a kind of saving. You don''t need good performance. You only need to be able to play 2D games and play a little entry-level 3D games! " Qin Feng said.
"This is indeed possible." The three nodded slowly.
These are also an idea to make money.
"Qin Feng, no matter how you negotiate with Sega, we will abide by this contract. Just put the money into the account and we''ll announce it. " Gary said.
Obviously, Qin Feng''s idea makes him very satisfied.
"The money will arrive soon!" Qin Feng smiled.
At noon that day, the money arrived. Then, at 1:00 p.m., 3dfx announced and reached a cooperation agreement with Lin Feng. At the same time, it announced that it would sell its STB company to China''s Kyushu IT technology company.
3dfx will no longer be involved in the field of board production and focus on making display chips. Major board manufacturers are welcome to negotiate and cooperate.
