Find the latest chapters in "I was a University President Novel (!

Pretty Country, the headquarters of Intel Corporation.

In a certain office.

Chief Executive Robert Swan, sitting in an office chair, working with documents with his head down.

There was also a middle-aged Mediterranean man standing beside him. Although he was wearing a decent suit, he could hardly conceal the anxiety emanating from his heart.

"Poirot, I hope you come here this time to tell me that ar business has found a suitable buyer." Swann raised his head and looked at the executive coldly.

Poirot swallowed, and his lips trembled and said, "I have found it..."

At this moment, he could even feel a cold sweat on his forehead.

"Oh? Which one? Apple, Google or Microsoft?"

Swan was surprised, but it didn't affect his attitude.

He clashed his palms and hummed coldly: "If you don't find a suitable buyer, then you will follow the NDG Group!"

"The great Intel company leaves no waste!"

NDG Group, a new equipment group under Intel, was established in 2014.

In 2014, in order to enter the wearable device market, Intel acquired the wearable device company Basis.

In the same year, Intel integrated the Basis brand into its NDG (New Device Group), with the goal of entering this emerging smart device market while suppressing Qualcomm.

In June 2015, Intel acquired a manufacturer of headsets.

In the summer of 2017, Intel's wearable device plan began to crack.

In June of the same year, Intel recalled the BasisPeak device due to overheating concerns and stopped selling this product directly.

At the end of 2017, Intel stopped providing software support including cloud storage space to Peak.

Obviously, the failure of BasisPeak is undoubtedly a big setback for Intel's dream of wearable devices.

In February 2018, Intel launched the Vaunt smart glasses, and also wanted to rely on this product to make another life in the wearable field.

But this immature Vaunt smart glasses are vulnerable to the attack of Microsoft and Google's smart glasses!

In addition, the new equipment department is burning money too fast. Since Swann took office as CEO in 2018, he has seen Intel’s overall finances dragged down by the new equipment group.

He decided to abandon the wearable device and augmented reality device market!

Let Microsoft and Google fight each other!

But...In this NDG department, Intel burned a lot of money in, and it was able to change hands to go out. It is better to try to get back to it than to dissolve the department directly.

Poirot is the head of the NDG department.

He understood what the boss said.

If he fails to recover part of the funds for the group, then the whole part must be dissolved, and he will follow suit.

Poirot quickly replied: "It's not Apple or Microsoft, it's a Chinese company."

"China's company?"

Swan frowned subconsciously, sneered and said, "Huaxia people still want to enter this field? Even our Intel company has failed, so do they have the courage to enter?"

"Moreover, Huaxia's companies will spend money on acquisitions? Are they good at plagiarism and fraud?"

Swann absolutely dare not say this in public.

After all, the Huaxia market is so huge that even top international companies such as Intel and Microsoft dare not give up.

But in the office, it does not affect the expression of his subjective ideas.

Poirot took a deep breath and carefully glanced at Swan's face before saying: "The other party wants to acquire the ar business of the NDG department."

The NDG department has two major parts. One is the AR business based on smart glasses, and the other is the smart watch business.

"It's Huaxing Company? What they want to buy is the smart watch business. What do they do to acquire the AR business?" Swan frowned and said puzzledly, "Does Huaxing want to enter the AR market?"

"Not Huaxing..."

"Which company is that? Fujisun? Ari?"

Poirot hesitated and said hesitantly: "To be precise, it should be a university: Guanghua University."

"Huh? This school is a bit familiar..." Swan was lost in thought.

"The photon screen was developed by this university, and..." Poirot paused at this point, gritted his teeth and continued: "And the other party is still studying the photon chip..."

"Oh, I remembered!"

Swann suddenly realized that he sounded the university.

I couldn't help but chuckle, "I remember that Dr. Liang rejected our Intel company and went to this university, right?"

"Yes it is."

After Poirot finished speaking, he asked tentatively: "Boss, this university is developing chips, so shall we sell the ar business of the NDG department of the other party?"

After all, Intel's main business is chips, and the other party is studying chips, that is the enemy.

It doesn't matter if the enemy's strength is not reduced, how can there be an enemy?

Swann did not respond to this question immediately. Instead, he asked: "Apart from Microsoft and Google, is there no other company coming up to ask?"

Poirot shook his head, "Yes, yes, but the price is lower than our psychological price."

"Then the price of ar business, talk to the other party about a high price!"

Swan closed his eyes. If he doesn't sell, the only way to dissolve the department will be.

"But, but the other party is also studying chips, where is the board?"

"This is the company's strategy!"

His eyes opened instantly and he looked at Poirot and said indifferently, “There is a lot of funds needed to research chips, and selling the AR business to the other party can not only divide the other party’s energy, but also consume the other party’s funds, killing two birds with one stone!

"No one knows chips better than me!"

...

...

On the afternoon of the 19th.

Guanghua downstairs.

Chen Hao, who was waiting for the three of Lu Zhou, received a call from Zhu Chen, and the other party's tone was very excited.

Chen Hao was surprised, and after reacting, he asked: "What? Intel is willing to sell the AR business?"

He thought he was going to spend some time with the other party, but he never thought that the other party would agree to sell.

It's just that a commercial negotiation is needed on the purchase price.

"Director Zhu, calm down first."

Seeing Zhu Chen's gaffe, Chen Hao was extremely calm. After analyzing it, he ordered, "In this way, we can hire a professional negotiation expert team for this business negotiation, and you will lead the team to the beautiful country and Intel."

"In the process, you must report to me at any time if you have important things!"

"Hmm, well, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao drove to the road next to Guanghua Tower.

Although the acquisition of Intel’s ar business is very important, this matter is not anxious, at least it will take a while.

At present, the most important thing for him is the expert interview in the digital model competition!

After waiting for a while, Lu Zhou and the three came together.

"Principal, I have kept you waiting." Zheng Tianyu opened the door of the co-pilot and said sorry to Chen Hao after getting in the car.

"It's okay, I just got down soon."

Chen Hao smiled slightly, and while starting the car, he asked: "Have you asked for leave?"

Zheng Tianyu scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Hey, I took three days off."

Chen Hao disapprovingly comforted: "It's okay. The game is not easy, so let's relax."

At this moment, Zhang Lei, who was sitting in the back row with Lu Zhou, touched the leather under his butt, and asked curiously: "Principal, is your car made of leather? It feels quite comfortable, it should be several hundred thousand yuan larger, right? ?"

"Hundreds of thousands?"

Seeing the three of them coming to him, Chen Hao touched his nose and said casually: "It's not expensive, it's only ten or hundreds of thousands."

Zhang Lei was speechless.

"...Is this not expensive?"

Excuse me, I really am a poor man!

After a while of speechlessness, the car finally arrived at Gaoqi International Airport.

Zheng Tianyu looked at the endless stream of passengers through the car window ~www.wuxiahere.com~, turned his head to Chen Hao and said gratefully: "Principal, you can go back and send it here."

"Wait for me to park the car in the underground parking lot."

"Aren't you going back to school?"

"Why am I going back?"

Chen Hao raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"I will go to the capital with you."
