Chapter 971 (1/2)
It is also a united technology company that benefits from cooperation with IDG.
Several times the project came down.
ERV obtained the ”membership” of the US confidential software project.
Otherwise, it will take quite a long time for the general company to go through this process. The software alone costs the U.S. government 150 million dollars a year in licensing fees.
And there are no restrictions on exports to other western countries.
That is to say.
If other western countries want to use it, they have to pay for it. It is estimated that by the end of next year, the company's annual licensing fee will probably exceed 500 million US dollars, or even higher.
Even if you earn less.
There are not as many companies as IBM, but the soldiers can't earn the money of this equipment for the time being. It's like Huawei's equipment is rejected by western countries. It's not that you have something, people will buy it.
What's more, they haven't yet.
”Mr. chairman, can ERV's funds support these projects?” Asked the director of Toshiba.
”Of course, there is no problem. Many of these projects are just at the beginning, and they don't need to invest too much money at one time. With the profitability of ERV, even without loans, these projects can continue.”
”At the same time, I would like to focus on the first acquisition plan of the new ERV,” the warrior added
”Acquisition plan?”
The next one was stunned.
Just got the money, these distant project funds are not necessarily enough, do you still buy?
I guess it's a company of little value.
”This company is called arm.”
At last, the fighter said the final goal of this strategic financing.
“WHAT?”
“ARM？”
They all thought they had heard the wrong thing.
What do you want to buy this thing for? The present company, even the weakest one, has a market value of more than ten times or even dozens of times that of arm. I don't think much of this company.
Although almost all of them have cooperation with arm and adopt the technical architecture of arm.
But.
This is a compromise based on general agreement standards.
If everyone's devices adopt the same architecture technology, there will be a lot of trouble in device compatibility. It's not that they can't design chips, but to avoid falling into vicious competition of architecture standards.
”Chairman, I want to know why I want to buy this company?” Apple's directors raised their hands.
”This is based on the long-term strategic consideration of ERV. Almost all of the projects I mentioned before involve chips, so I plan to buy arm to save the company's future expenditure.
I planned to develop new architecture technology and buy the last company you saw on the list. However, for some reasons, I suddenly felt that it would save a little time to buy arm. ” The soldier explained.
”Which company is finally working on a new chip architecture?”
”It seems that it was mentioned.”
”By the way, I'm a little impressed.”
“。。。”
Remember the list before.
As the company with the lowest valuation.
Many of them just looked at the names.
This company with a valuation of less than 100 million US dollars is not worth their bargaining. The real big head is those core business companies that are prone to billions and tens of billions of US dollars.
The soldier went on.
”ERV has been involved in large-scale integrated circuit chip design for a long time. It acquired SVC computer company in the United States half a year ago, and now it has achieved little results. However, for the sake of avoiding competition, I decided to buy arm.”
”That's what I said before about help.” The soldier went on.
”What?”
”This is help?”
“。。。”
The soldier said it.
There was a rush of excitement.
It turns out that they have been speculating for many days about ”help”. Looking back on the financing process of ERV, is it to raise funds and contacts to acquire arm?
It doesn't make sense.
Even if you don't buy arm.
This company will not be a hindrance to ERV. It would like you to use it. That can only be attributed to the strong control desire of the chairman, which they have already seen.
Help or not?
