Chapter 714

.

Dream Entertainment's temporary headquarters, the small square downstairs of the Jade Building.

Intel's senior vice president, Craig Berrett, was surrounded by reporters waiting outside. The Wall Street Journal's top informant asked an unfriendly question.

Craig laughed and replied, "The negotiations between Intel and Dream Entertainment are only temporarily suspended. We're waiting for the next round of negotiations. As for whether Dream Entertainment will choose AMD, you'll have to interview AMD's staff. AMD's vice president, Tom, is still negotiating with Dream Entertainment. I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a while. "

"Oh? Mr. Craig, did you just say that AMD Corporation and Dream Entertainment Corporation are discussing cooperation? According to our media's understanding, Dream Entertainment has signed an exclusive negotiation agreement with Intel, right? "The Wall Street Journal's top informant, David Wei, deliberately weakened the concept of the memorandum.

Craig didn't want to ignite the flames of war on Dream Entertainment. He coughed and corrected David's mistake. "Intel and Dream Entertainment only signed an exclusive negotiation agreement. Dream Entertainment has the right to choose to contact and negotiate with other companies. According to the normal business rules, Dream Entertainment has no responsibility at all. "

After the half-hour-long interview, Craig returned to the Green Lake Hotel. He was ready to contact the company's board of directors again and propose to the board of directors to increase the profit share of the cooperation with Dream Entertainment.

Jade Building, 83th floor, Dream Entertainment's conference room.

After Craig Berrett of Intel left, Tom Clusi of AMD was quite satisfied. This was equivalent to Intel automatically giving up the exclusive negotiation rights and leaving them to negotiate with Dream Entertainment.

Shi Lei sat up straight, looked at Tom, and said expressionlessly, "Mr. Tom, Mr. Craig left first. I don't know if your AMD company has any good suggestions about the personal game server cooperation project?"

Tom was a little hesitant. Intel's proposal only had a profit split of 00%. According to AMD's original plan, as long as they could cooperate with Dream Entertainment, they could even give them a 655% share of the profits. AMD only wanted to use Dream Entertainment to get out of trouble, whether it was the issue of stocks or product recognition.

Although they lost huge profits from the personal game server project, it provided a good opportunity for AMD's future development.

However, as the representative of AMD, Tom was able to accurately obtain Intel's quote. Therefore, Tom had other ideas in his mind, the idea of making profits for the company.

"Mr. Shi, Madam Mu, AMD will not be as stingy as Intel. We can give Dream Entertainment a 25% share of the profits!" Tom's face was filled with confidence.

It was as if a 25% share was enough to shock Dream Entertainment!

Shi Lei and Mu Shuang cooperatively put on a shocked expression, but neither Mu Shuang nor Shi Lei were excited at all. They were just putting on a show for Tom.

Kira Katara, a member of AMD's think tank, observed Shi Lei and Mu Shuang. His eyes were filled with doubt as he thought to himself, 'That's strange. Dream Entertainment's appetite is so small? It's impossible that they don't know about AMD's situation. They must also know that if they ask for a higher profit share, we can only agree. "

Tom was obviously lacking in consideration. He thought that his proposal had really shocked Dream Entertainment. He revealed a smug expression.

With Tom's promise of a 25% share of the profits, the negotiations between both parties seemed to be going smoothly. They had already entered into substantive negotiations.

Shi Lei crossed his hands and placed them on the conference table. His face was solemn as he asked in a steady tone, "Mr. Tom, there is no problem with the direction of our cooperation. However, I would like to ask some questions about AMD! "

Seeing Shi Lei's serious attitude, Tom couldn't help but become serious. "Mr. Shi, I wonder what you would like to ask?"

Shi Lei's eyes narrowed slightly. "According to Dream Entertainment's investigation, AMD is currently heavily in debt. We are worried that if we end up cooperating with AMD, will you be able to meet our company's production requirements? "

This question was also what Shi Lei and Mu Shuang were worried about!

Before acquiring AMD, they had to get an accurate answer. As long as AMD's production capacity could be guaranteed, their debt problem would not be a problem after Dream Entertainment took over.

Tom's heart relaxed. He thought that it would be some other problem. He didn't expect it to be just this. Kira Katara, who was beside Tom, also gradually let go of the doubts in his heart. Dream Entertainment and AMD were already discussing the production capacity issue. There shouldn't be any big problems with the cooperation between both parties.

"Mr. Shi, Dream Entertainment doesn't have to worry about the production capacity issue at all. We, AMD, can easily fulfill Dream Entertainment's orders. Whether it's the CPU or the graphics processor, we can fulfill them all! "Tom promised in a firm tone.

Shi Lei seemed to believe Tom's words. "That's good!"

"Then, Mr. Shi, Ms. Mu, why don't we sign the contract today?" Tom Clusi asked with a hint of probing. As long as there was no contract agreement between both parties, there was a possibility of undue delay.

Shi Lei smiled but didn't say anything. Mu Shuang continued, "Mr. Tom, Dream Entertainment still needs some time to conduct various investigations. I hope you can understand. After all, personal game servers are very important to Dream Entertainment. We can't come to a conclusion rashly. "

Mu Shuang's refusal to sign the contract had cast a shadow over Tom Clusi's confidence.

Fortunately, Mu Shuang's next words pulled him to heaven again. "Mr. Tom, to celebrate the initial agreement between both parties, Dream Entertainment and An Pei will let you taste the local specialty hotpot in Shuangqing City tonight. What do you think? "

In fact, tasting hotpot was a trivial matter. The purpose of eating hotpot together was to reveal to the outside world that Dream Entertainment and AMD were very close.

Thus, the outside world would speculate whether Dream Entertainment had chosen to cooperate with AMD. In addition, the "internal information" exposed by the anonymous hacker had created a situation where the truth was mixed with the truth. People couldn't figure out what Dream Entertainment was trying to do.

May 1th, 1 PM sharp.

The reporters waiting outside the Jade Building finally welcomed their harvest. Shi Lei and Mu Shuang from Dream Entertainment, as well as Tom Clusi and Kira Katara from AMD, walked out of the Jade Building together.

The reporters, who had been waiting for so long, hurriedly went up and surrounded the four of them.

It was still the Wall Street Journal's ace informant, Da Wei, who asked first, "Hello, Mr. Shi. May I ask, what is the intention of Dream Entertainment? You maliciously hyped up AMD's stock and still choose to cooperate with AMD? "

Shi Lei's face darkened. This ace informant really didn't know what was good for him.

"Regarding Dream Entertainment's maliciously hyping up AMD's stock, how did you get the information? Why didn't Dream Entertainment know about it? As the CEO of Dream Entertainment, I can also suspect that other investors are using Dream Entertainment to maliciously hyping up AMD's stock! "Shi Lei said with a hint of sarcasm.

Tom Clusi also stood out to support Dream Entertainment. Seeing that both parties were about to reach a final agreement, he naturally had to stand on Dream Entertainment's side.

However, if Tom knew the outcome of the matter, would he still stand on Dream Entertainment's side?

"Regarding Dream Entertainment's maliciously hyping up our company's stock, it's just a guess from the outside world. There's no evidence to prove that Dream Entertainment is involved. AMD has never reached any internal or private agreement with Dream Entertainment, "Tom Clusi said righteously.

However, Tom still had his own selfish motives. He continued, "Until just now, AMD and Dream Entertainment had reached a preliminary agreement to cooperate. Next, as long as we settle the specific issues, our two companies can reach a final agreement. "

Tom revealed the progress of the negotiations between AMD and Dream Entertainment. Mu Shuang had guessed correctly. Shi Lei sneered in his heart, but his face was full of smiles. As if he was returning the favor, he spoke up to support Tom.

"Mr. Tom is right! We, Dream Entertainment, have repeatedly stated that we do not have any private agreements with AMD. It's only today that we've made a breakthrough in the negotiations. The details of the negotiations are confidential, and it's not convenient to disclose them. The details of the cooperation are also confidential. Alright, if you need to know more, please interview us at another time. We're now inviting AMD's partners to a banquet. Please make way! "

Shi Lei's words contained many ambiguities. It was as if Dream Entertainment had already chosen AMD and was about to sign an agreement with AMD. Especially the last sentence, "invite" and "partners". AMD's treatment had completely surpassed Intel's!

The reporters originally wanted to pester them, but fortunately, the security personnel of Judgement Security arrived and allowed the four of them to leave.

Although they didn't get any more news, the preliminary agreement between Dream Entertainment and AMD, and both parties' negotiators attending the banquet, was already shocking news.

The news media had no integrity. Even if they had previously reported that Dream Entertainment and AMD were in cahoots, they could now report that Dream Entertainment and AMD were innocent and had just reached a preliminary agreement.

That night, AMD's share price, which had fallen to close to $7.55 per share, rose again. However, due to the bloody lesson of the past, the share price did not soar.

According to Dream Entertainment's plan, the rise of AMD's share price was just an illusion. Dream Entertainment was going to give AMD the heaviest blow they could!

After this blow, other than being acquired, AMD might not have any other options left …
