Chapter 860 (1/2)
Jerry Sanders almost suffered an internal injury.
Once, amd was struggling. After all, at the beginning of its establishment, whether Intel or AMD, in fact, the main employees of its predecessor came from Fairchild Semiconductor Company, which was once popular.
Only then did Fairchild Semiconductor Company collapse, so there was Intel and later AMD. Only when amd was established, intel was already very powerful.
Gordon Moore, one of the founders of Intel, was born in Fairchild Semiconductor. Later, he founded Intel and quickly won the personal CPU market. Defeated a series of rivals such as IBM and Motorola.
In the PC chip market, seek defeat alone.
Amd wants to challenge such a giant, no doubt very difficult. At first, Jerry Sanders worked hard to raise money. It's not much different from monk Tang's scriptures.
Some wall street people once cancelled the difficulty of Jerry Sanders' financing, saying that it only takes five minutes for Intel to raise $5 million. Jerry Sanders needs 5 million minutes to raise $50000 for AMD.
Obviously, this is an exaggeration. However, it has to be said that this also appropriately illustrates the difficulty of Jerry Sanders in financing. It was not until later that it was favored by the Abu Dhabi atic consortium that it passed the difficult period of financing.
But the other party's local tyrant's style really makes people feel a little oppressed.
But there's no way. If someone else is the gold owner, you have to bear it.
”We want to borrow $1 billion!” Jerry Sanders said reluctantly.
”One billion dollars! to loan! In other words, there are still so many shares, but I lent you money for nothing. What's in it for me? ” Asked the local tyrant of Abu Dhabi.
Jerry Sanders could no longer describe his anger in words.
This is really a clay bun.
But they have money!
”In that way, if our company develops and grows, the shares invested by your consortium will be more valuable.” Jerry Sanders said, ”if we don't continue to invest, we may not survive this wave of market chaos!”
”Then why not finance, but borrow?” Asked the Abu Dhabi tyrant.
Jerry Sanders was silent. He wants to let it finance again. Whose company is it? By that time, the company had completely changed. Well, I'm afraid it's no longer AMD.
”Well, well, don't hesitate. I know you just want the management right of the company. OK, just $1 billion! I'll lend it to you. But I have one condition. That is, the next generation processor must be named by me! If you promise, you can borrow money. If you don't promise, you can't talk! ” The local tyrant of Abu Dhabi said impatiently, ”just the money invested in your company. If you lose money, you will lose a few horses and die!”
These words are undoubtedly very heart digging. Rao is Jerry Sanders. After eighty-one difficulties, he almost couldn't help it.
However, after several deep breaths, it calmed down the anger in my heart.
”Yes!” Jerry Sanders asked patiently, ”I don't know why you want to name it?”
”Well! I like dinosaurs best. They are powerful and powerful, but I don't like Tyrannosaurus Rex, but speed dragons. Well, it's called the speed dragon! ” Abu Dhabi tyrant said.
Speed dragon! Jerry Sanders breathed out.
The name seems good. It would be embarrassing to call it Tyrannosaurus Rex or long necked dragon. That name doesn't sound very good.
Velociraptor, not bad! After all, it has something to do with speed. CPU, the important thing is speed.
Jerry Sanders, who successfully got a $1 billion loan, returned to the company.
”Now that we have funds, I ask to launch a new CPU, K7, no, speeddragon, and k6-3 at the beginning of next year.” Jerry Sanders said.
