Chapter 948: Bill's Battle of Despair

The negotiation with Scully was simple, direct and fruitful. After paying a certain price, Apple finally joined the "Midoor" alliance conditionally, and at the same time became a strategic investor in the "MIPS" company and had a board of directors. Seat, of course, the shrewd Tan Zhenhua did not suffer. He put forward the conditions of reciprocal exchange and got the agreement. After investing a large sum of money, he became a shareholder of Apple. Of course, he also has a seat on the board of directors. Need, everyone is happy.
But another gentleman was almost in desperation at this moment.
Bill Gates panicked after receiving the notice of a lawsuit jointly initiated by the "Matrix" laboratory and "iDoorsoft" against the company's infringement case.
He didn't expect that his only loophole would be easily discovered by the opponent and grasped tightly, and he launched a fierce counterattack.
At this moment, he really regrets it. Why couldn't he offer a higher price to Palo Alto Lab? Why did McGregor go out in the first place?
However, it was obviously too late to regret what had happened at this time.
Given that it was the incident that he provoked first, Bill Gates felt that Tan Zhenhua would not easily let Microsoft go.
At this critical juncture, the first thing he thought of was of course to turn to his ally, Intel.
But the results of the visit to Andy Grove made him even more innocent.
Once, Andy was his good friend.
Once, they vowed to jointly deal with the dangerous enemy "Matrix".
Once, they simultaneously attacked this dangerous enemy.
But now, Intel has taken the initiative to withdraw the lawsuit. Not only did it withdraw the lawsuit, Andy told him hesitantly that Intel might choose to join the "Midoor" alliance!
What about it?
The promised eachother will never leave it?
Yesterday was Xiao Tiantian, but today is she a Mrs. Niu?
Isn't this turning too fast? !
"why?!"
Bill Gates yelled at the problem in a nearly roaring tone.
Andy Grove was speechless for a while.
It took a long time before he explained in an almost inaudible voice: "Bill, that Chinese, Eric showed me a series of evidence, including the research and development process, experimental records, test reports, patent applications and approval documents... etc. Wait, wait, the CPU architecture of MIPS is fundamentally different from Intel's X86 architecture. We have almost no chance of winning. My lawyer told me that even if we delay the time for various reasons, it will actually be of little significance. Yes, this lawsuit, we will undoubtedly lose."
"But you can still make a fuss about the manufacturing process!" Bill Gates reluctantly suppressed his anger, and said in as calm as possible: "Andy, I remember that we discussed this issue, your current Intel company The chip production process has reached 1.5 microns. It is with the support of this process that you have achieved that the current 80386CPU can control the heat generation of the chip under the integrated 275,000 transistors and the operating frequency of 12.5MHZ. Yu Youcheng, who defected from your company, was originally in charge of the craftsmanship. "Matrix" could not have not used the technology he brought. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain that "Matrix" could be launched in such a short period of time. CPU!"
"Bill, calm down." Andy Grove said helplessly: "Actually, that Eric very frankly admitted that they used a series of quality management methods brought by Yu Youcheng, but he also He told me more directly, saying that it is impossible for us to find any evidence in this respect that can be recognized by the court. He even threatened that if we entangled this, he would even own the patented technology of the production process. Filed a counterclaim to us, and my lawyer told me that if the "matrix" really does this, we at Intel might fail. Although that probability is not very high, it is possible."
"How is it possible?" Bill Gates couldn't believe that he could say this from Andy Grove's mouth.
"Bill, did you know that the oem manufacturer of MIPSCPU is the "Huaxin Microelectronics" of Xiangjiang. Its full set of production equipment, manufacturing processes, and raw materials are all from the Japanese country, and all manufacturing technologies have clear technology sources and authorizations , And I have to admit that Waguo currently has a more advanced semiconductor production process than ours. If this is not the case, why is our DRAM at a significant disadvantage in the market... Well, that’s another topic; the current situation Yes, the technology brought by Yu Youcheng complements the technology of the Japanese people, helping "Huaxin Microelectronics" improve the manufacturing process level and the yield rate. The result of all this is: they used this to combine the two countries The successful process of the advantages enables the CPU to work stably at 60MHZ, and the combined yield of the two CPUs of -60 and -30 has reached 75%!"
"But does this have anything to do with you not being able to sue the "Matrix" for infringing on the intellectual property rights of Intel's CPU manufacturing process?" a Harvard dropout who was not particularly proficient in computer hardware asked strangely.
"Of course it does matter." Andy Grove smiled bitterly: "Bill, you must know that the highest frequency at which the best quality 80386 produced by Intel can work stably is only 20MHz. That day, in Egypt In Rick’s office, he asked me, which court in the world can rule that a company that can manufacture 60MHZ CPU products has plagiarized the manufacturing process technology that can only manufacture 20MHZ CPUs? Did they steal it? Has Intel not been able to develop the latest technology it has mastered yet?"
Bill Gates was speechless.
Of course, this is only because the young Mr. Gates's face is not thick enough.
You must know that many years later, there was such a group of American politicians who kept claiming that a certain China communications company had stolen 5G communications technology in the United States and used this as one of the excuses to sanction this China communications company. When they said these words, they did not take into account that this Huaxia company has the 5G communication technology and the largest number of related patents that have led the industry for several years.
What’s even more shocking is that while these politicians are preaching this excuse all over the world, a certain Internet communications giant in the United States has exposed several internal test photos, clearly showing to the world that it has not obtained this Chinese company. With the permission of the communications company, some of its source code images were used without authorization, and even the copyrighted logo was not hidden-and of course these politicians were selectively temporarily blind.
However, this event will not happen in this time and space, or need to change the protagonist to happen again, but no one can say that this is because the American Internet communications giant is named Cisco, and Cisco, its current name is Tan...
Bill Gates left Intel for nothing.
Intel’s immediate betrayal completely exceeded his expectations. Even if Andy Grove gave a reasonable explanation for this betrayal, betrayal is betrayal, and he is as smart as he is, of course, he can guess, "Matrix" , And that Chinese boy Eric, must have given Intel some benefits and promises under the desktop.
He only knows that now he must fight alone and fight for the survival of Microsoft.
