Chapter 670

.

AMD is commonly translated as Advanced Micro Devices in Xia Xia. But most of the time, most people only know AMD and not Advanced Micro Devices.

In the consumer PC market, AMD and Intel are the only two CPU companies. However, compared to Intel, AMD was much, much weaker.

On the internet, experienced users commented on these two companies. They compared Intel to Mr. Perfect, while AMD was labeled as an agricultural company.

In fact, there are many reasons why AMD is called an agricultural company.

One of the reasons is that when AMD released the HD1425 graphics card, the HD1425, due to the conflict between the radiator and the external power supply port, they had to manually polish the power supply port. This caused the first batch of HD1425 graphics cards to be one-of-a-kind handmade products. This kind of farm-style approach made AMD famous as an agricultural company.

Another reason is that the high-end CPUs released by AMD in the later years are named as bulldozers, pile drivers, and road rollers.

These unique names allowed AMD to establish itself as an agricultural enterprise.

Even though AMD was an agricultural company, it didn't mean that AMD didn't have any redeeming qualities. In fact, AMD is not as good as Intel. The reason is very clear.

Intel's market value is more than 655 billion USD and hovers around 675 billion USD. AMD's market value is around 7.0 billion USD.

A mere 7.0 billion USD market value is not even comparable to Nvidia. Nvidia's graphics card company is worth 2 to 3 billion USD!

AMD's total assets are only 605% of Intel's. It is normal for AMD to not be able to catch up with Intel.

If AMD also had hundreds of billions of Intel's capital, then no one would dare to make a judgment as to whether AMD or Intel was more powerful!

In 7552, AMD was in deep trouble. Because of the acquisition of ATI graphics card company, AMD's cash flow was cut off, causing indigestion. Also, AMD's CPU technology is not as good as Intel's, and CPU sales could not save AMD.

AMD was now living a life of borrowing money from all over the place. Without strong external help, AMD's life would be very difficult!

Izur told Shi Lei about AMD's financial crisis through his Bluetooth earpiece. Recently, AMD's share price had continued to fall. It was basically the most dangerous time.

"Check AMD's debt situation, then check how many shares AMD has in the stock market," Shi Lei instructed Izur.

“Yes，Sir。” Izur immediately began to investigate the relevant situation. Through the Information Retrieval Device and the Deep Natural Logic Thinking Module, they analyzed the specific content together.

Tao Wenxian stood beside Shi Lei and asked, "Stone Head, are you talking to the artificial intelligence? Rumor has it that Dream Entertainment has artificial intelligence. Is this a rumor or is it true? "

Shi Lei stared at Tao Wenxian and found that Tao Wenxian's eyes were clear without the slightest flicker. He nodded and said, "That's right, the outside world isn't talking nonsense. Rumors were usually true. However, it was not an artificial intelligence, but a pseudo-artificial intelligence. Those ignorant idiots can't even differentiate between artificial intelligence and fake artificial intelligence! Dream Entertainment has a pseudo-artificial intelligence system. You can call it Izur. "

Tao Wenxian was very interested. "Stone Head, I wonder if I can communicate with Izur?"

"Yes!" Shi Lei nodded.

The next moment, Tao Wenxian's phone rang. Tao Wenxian took out his phone and looked at it. There was a lone number '0' on the screen. This number represented Izur.

Tao Wenxian glanced at Shi Lei. Shi Lei nodded at him and gestured for him to pick up the phone.

"Hello, Jazz. I'm Izur. Welcome to Shuangqing City," Izur said in a cold and emotionless voice.

"Hello, Izur. Nice to meet you! " Tao Wenxian tested Izur's natural language processing system. Although he had just heard the conversation between Izur and Shi Lei and could already tell that Izur had natural language processing capabilities, he still wanted to try it himself.

"Jazz, nice to meet you as well. If you need any help, feel free to contact me. The number is 0. You've already obtained partial access to this system. This system will assist you in your daily tasks, "Izur replied.

Tao Wenxian looked at Shi Lei again with a questioning expression.

Shi Lei smiled. "Jazz, we're allies. It's only right that I share some resources with you."

Tao Wenxian was touched. Shi Lei had actually given him a portion of the precious pseudo-artificial intelligence system's access rights. Although he did not know how much access rights he had, it did not matter. As long as Izur could help him, it was a good outcome.

Thinking of this, Tao Wenxian took the initiative to say, "Stone Head, I don't have any good resources. The only thing I can give you is the level three access to the global positioning system. I'll share it with you."

"Oh? The level three access to the global positioning system is not bad. You can directly submit it to Izur and let Izur have this access. If we want to investigate something, we can investigate it through Izur. It's much faster than doing it ourselves. " Shi Lei pretended to complain. "Although both of our hacking skills are very good, in reality, Izur can destroy both of us when it comes to basic tasks!"

"That good?" Tao Wenxian said in disbelief.

"It'll only be better! You can communicate with Izur when you have time. Izur's multithreading ability is very powerful. You have the authority to call Izur anytime, anywhere. But please note that Izur will not mobilize any system resources to help you hack any target. If you need to hack a target through Izur, you'll need to prepare your own server. However, Izur will provide you with protection. Lucifer has built an endless defense system, which is also controlled by Izur. If you're tracked, you can directly return to the shelter server provided by Izur. Of course, don't provoke an opponent that's too strong. If that happens, even Izur won't be able to handle it. "Shi Lei said modestly.

Based on Izur's current level of defense, only the lunatic from Cauldron Nine, DARPA, or CERN could break through Izur's defense.

Of course, before breaking through Izur's defense, Shi Lei could completely clean up all traces. Even if they broke through the defense, they would not be able to find any information.

"Oh, I got it!" Tao Wenxian acted as if he had received a fun toy. He could not wait to communicate with Izur.

Half an hour later, Izur projected AMD's financial situation through the projector. Publicly listed companies were good. All kinds of financial statements could be easily found. Even if it could not be found, with Izur and Dark Demon software, it could be found!

Shi Lei was not very knowledgeable about financial matters. According to the data provided by Izur, AMD's total market value was about two billion USD and about 6.0 billion USD in debt.

According to this calculation, under the ideal situation where the stock price did not increase, he would need at least 8.0 billion USD to buy AMD.

However, the market value of a stock was not the same as an acquisition. If Shi Lei wanted to buy AMD, he would need to prepare at least 75% to 70% of the stock premium, which was about 7.0 billion USD. In addition to the 6.0 billion USD in debt, it was basically 9 billion USD!

Shi Lei currently had about 675 million USD available to him. It was not in USD, but in Xia Xia Yuan. If converted to USD, it would be about 60 million USD according to the 7552 exchange rate.

The difference between 60 million USD and 9 billion USD was not small!

Most importantly, Shi Lei still owed the Rongcheng Military District 8 billion Xia Xia Yuan. It was a huge debt.

Other than the cash flow, all the companies that belonged to Shi Lei were private companies. Shi Lei was the only shareholder. As they were not listed, the exact value could not be estimated.

According to the external evaluation agency's calculations, if Dream Entertainment chose to enter the stock market and be listed, it would be worth about 6 billion Xia Xia Yuan.

Of course, this figure was definitely at the lowest point. Dream Entertainment's World of the Brave was just one game, and Shi Lei was confident that its revenue would exceed 6 billion USD in a year.

The evaluation agency's underestimation was only because the online gaming industry was not on the rise yet. Once the online gaming industry was on the rise, the evaluation of Dream Entertainment would increase greatly.

Other than Dream Entertainment, the other company that the evaluation agency had high hopes for was Fantasy Technology. Fantasy Technology had developed various versions of its behavioral dynamic capture program, especially the security monitoring version. The evaluation agency was very optimistic about Fantasy Technology. Its evaluation price exceeded Dream Entertainment's and reached 6.0 billion USD.

Yu Mo Medical's evaluation was not low as well. Its value reached 055 million USD. It was valued at such a high price because of the AIP artificial limbs.

The AIP artificial limbs were sold in a very small market, but the price was very high. Moreover, the customers who bought the AIP artificial limbs were not short of money. This ensured Yu Mo Medical's profit margin.

If the cost of the software was not included, and only the cost of the hardware was considered, the most expensive handheld version would only cost 05,555 yuan. Yu Mo Medical's publicity had increased the cost by ten times. It claimed that the raw materials alone cost 055,555 USD, and the selling price was as high as 7 million USD.

The profit from the handheld version alone was forty times the cost!

The profit margin for the other versions of the AIP artificial limbs was not low either. The profit margin was crazy. This was the advantage of a monopoly. Only Yu Mo Medical could produce such intelligent, flexible, and useful artificial limbs in the world. Therefore, it had to be sold at a high price.

Under Mirage Technology, there were also companies that were underestimated. That was the inconspicuous Immortal Painting Company. Currently, Immortal Painting Company was acting like a little brother of Dream Entertainment. They specialized in producing promotional videos for Dream Entertainment.

The evaluation of Immortal Painting Company by the outside world was not even worth tens of millions, let alone hundreds of millions. They only gave a pitiful 0 million USD. Shi Lei did not even have the energy to complain about such an evaluation.

Was Immortal Painting Company really that lousy?

When Immortal Painting Company showed its strength, it would definitely make those people blind!

As for Judgement Security Strategies under Shi Lei's private name, its evaluation price was a pitiful 6 million USD. It was extremely pitiful.

According to the evaluation agency's evaluation, the total value of the companies under Mirage Technology was about 8 billion USD. This was only the value. Shi Lei could not turn them into money.

Tao Wenxian also looked at AMD's financial data and said, "AMD is going to decline. It looks like Intel will dominate in the future!"

"Decline?" Shi Lei smiled mysteriously. "Jazz, don't you think that now is the best time to acquire AMD?"
