Chapter 704: You Didn't Pain Until You Were Beaten

After Li Changheng became a shareholder of Intel and obtained a 51% absolute controlling stake.

In the early days, Intel won the OEM contract for calculators, which helped Li Changheng earn hundreds of millions of dollars, and at the same time, he also got 10% of the savings profit, which is a profit of tens of millions of dollars.

In less than a year, Li Changheng licensed the technology of professional-grade calculators because island companies entered the competitive industry.

You can produce, sell, and develop calculators at will.

After that, he also helped Intel to produce specially designed processors for home appliances established by the English nobles.

The acquisition of the two major businesses has easily brought Intel into a faster and more secure development period than in real time and space.

The market value has changed from a few million at the beginning, to hundreds of millions, and then to the current valuation of 2.8 billion US dollars.

However, Li Changheng, who knew the general direction of future development, was not optimistic about the prospect of calculators from the beginning.

Unfortunately, when the contract was signed, he promised not to interfere with Intel's development strategy.

Only when Intel faces major mistakes, such as losses, does it have the right to intervene in the company.

However, in the long run, Li Changheng actually hopes to use the mistakes of the three founders to highlight his judgment on the market.

In order to use gentle means, let the three founders hand over their power and truly gain the dominance of Intel.

Instead of using the shares to force the founders, the good cooperative relationship between the two parties has cracked.

Of course, if Li Changheng could devote most of his energy to Intel, he would have already started planning for corporate power.

It's a pity that Li Changheng can't spend more than ten or twenty years focusing on the development of Intel.

And a very helpless fact is that even if he opens the plug-in, he is still restricted by the overall technical level of the world.

Therefore, in the past two years, Li Changheng not only acted as a shopkeeper, but also watched Intel's efforts to lower production costs even though it had the first-mover advantage.

In the end, companies from island countries who would rather lose money than compete for the market continue to squeeze Intel's profits by taking advantage of cost advantages.

Even though Intel has occupied at least 40% of calculators in the past two years, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Intel's good days will soon pass.

In addition to the calculator, no matter how it is developed, it is just a convenient calculation tool.

It is impossible to have decades of research and development and upgrade potential like a computer.

If you want to get rid of this predicament in the short term, you have to develop new products yourself, or you can only turn to Li Changheng for help.

But the three founders of Intel knew very well that Li Changheng was not a good person.

Want to get new profitable products from him.

Not to mention whether there is any, but when they bought the shares at the beginning, they had already given 51% of the shares, so the three of Robert would rather hang on than give Li Changheng more shares.

Since he is not willing to reduce the number of his own shares, he can only continue to tap the potential of the calculator.

On the one hand, we look forward to the company's R&D team being able to develop new products in a short period of time.

Unfortunately, to put it bluntly, the three of Robert are just normal people who are much smarter than ordinary people.

If new products were so easy to develop, Intel would not have had a period of low tide for more than ten years.

Even in the future, the Americans can win, and the electronics companies in the island nation that have already taken advantage, except for industrial upgrading and the wrong technology of the island nation.

It is still relying on the official of the United States, using political, military, financial and other means to beat down the entire island country.

If it weren't for the 1980s, the United States came forward in the name of the country to formulate anti-dumping regulations, and in the semiconductor industry, it forced the island countries to leave 20% of the market to American companies.

It has given most of the semiconductor companies in the United States a breathing space, and maybe the islanders have won the semiconductor war.

In the early 1980s, Intel had to give up the memory business because of losses.

Instead, he focused all his energy on the central processing unit as if he was sinking his boat.

Only then will the glory of Intel in the next thirty years be born.

So if it is said that companies in the United States hate island companies the most.

In addition to home appliances, automobiles, textiles, and steel industries, Intel and Silicon Valley's chip foundries can definitely be ranked in the top three.

After Li Changheng called Intel CEO Robert, the next day, the newspapers with the largest circulation in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Silicon Valley.

They all publish the data on taxation, unemployment, corporate bankruptcy rate, etc. that Intel has silently collected in the past two years in the business districts of California and San Francisco.

Ordinary people don't care where the data comes from, but as long as they read the newspapers, those whose income has decreased, the unemployed, and the soldiers who have retired from Vietnam and can't even find a job.

Suddenly, as if he had found an outlet, he directed all his anger at the island company.

Among the politicians in several states on the west coast, without being bribed or lobbied by Li Changheng, some people took the initiative to make troubles in order to vote and divert the anger of the people.

Plus Francis Wood's first submitted, anti-unfair competition investigation proposal at .

Within a few days, the east and west coasts of the United States formed, and several states set off a wave of boycotting products from the island country.

Now the island nation really panicked.

The proposal is trouble in the future, but boycotting island products is a loss of vital interests.

Moreover, the economy of the island country had just entered a period of rapid development at this time.

In other words, those world-renowned island companies in the future will not be as strong as expected in terms of anti-risk capabilities.

Before the islanders started lobbying and wooing California politicians to find a solution, FB1 suddenly entered the San Francisco Marine Terminal.

Several batches of electronic products from the island country with a total value of 30 million US dollars were directly seized.

Thirty million dollars is not a moment of life and death for several companies, but in case the types and scale of the products under investigation expand.

And according to the past, this kind of investigation is usually calculated in half a year or a few years, which will cause great trouble.

Even if this resistance extended to cars, textiles and steel, it would be a matter of life and death.

Realizing that the situation is getting worse, although the island country can't figure out why Li Changheng can have so much energy.

But this didn't prevent them from hating Li Changheng to death, but at the same time they had to send someone with high enough status to come to see him on their own initiative.

After testing each other for half an hour, Li Changheng sent the guests away with a smile, but sneered a few times in his heart.

The people who came to negotiate today probably got the idea. A few days ago, the police from the Metropolitan Police Department came to find trouble, and Li Changheng immediately fought back.

And it's a lesson of not paying attention to reciprocal counterattacks, and being ruthless as soon as they come up.

Although the meeting was polite and humble, but the substantial benefits were not mentioned at all.

They tried their best to keep the island country's market closed, and talked about how important the island country is in dealing with the pressure of polar bears.

Needless to say, the people of the island country must know very well that it is impossible for the US country to really attack them under the pressure of the red polar bear.

However, although Li Changheng was unhappy, he was not in a hurry.
