Shuangqing City, May 2th, 1 PM.
Dream Entertainment and Intel officially held a press conference at the Green Lake Hotel in Shuanghu District.
The press conference of the two companies caught AMD off guard. All the major media outlets around the world were in disbelief as well. A moment ago, Dream Entertainment and AMD announced that they had reached a preliminary agreement. They only needed to finalize the details before they could sign the contract.
However, the press conference of Dream Entertainment and Intel announced that they would officially sign the contract at the press conference.
In the press conference hall of the Green Lake Hotel, Mu Shuang and Xie Hui from Dream Entertainment attended the press conference. Hong Xiang, who was in charge of the art department, was also present to fill in the numbers.
There were a total of nine people from Intel, including the senior vice president, Craig Bereit. However, only Craig and a member of the think tank stood on the rostrum.
Xie Hui acted as the host of the press conference. He was in charge of selecting the reporters to ask questions and livening up the atmosphere. Originally, this job should have been done by Wen Ruoyun. However, when she got off work today, Wen Ruoyun was taken away by Li Cai. No one knew where they went. Perhaps they were at Cui Hu Hotel!
"Friends from all over the world, welcome to the signing press conference of Dream Entertainment and Intel Corporation! After a long and arduous negotiation, Dream Entertainment and Intel have officially reached an agreement. Intel has been chosen as the partner of Dream Entertainment to build the second generation of personal game servers together! "Xie Hui said excitedly.
The reporters at the press conference took pictures of Xie Hui with their cameras. The reporters in the front row even wanted to ask questions.
Xie Hui stopped them with a smile. "Friends, please don't be anxious. It's not time for you to ask questions. Next, let's welcome Ms. Mu Shuang, the vice president of Mi Rui Technology's Xia Xia Region, to speak to everyone! "
Mu Shuang was wearing a black office suit. Her long hair was tied up in a bun. She looked like a mature office lady. Although she was only 64 years old, she had the charm of an office lady.
"Mr. Xie has already finished what I wanted to say. By the way, the senior management of Mira Technology has confirmed the cooperation with Intel. We have signed the formal agreement. "Mu Shuang directly stated that both parties were formal partners.
Xie Hui coughed. "Thank you, Mr. Mu! So, Mr. Craig of Intel, do you have anything to say? "
Craig Berett held the microphone with a confident expression. "First of all, Intel is very honored to cooperate with Dream Entertainment. Not only was it because Dream Entertainment was the best gaming company, but it was also my favorite gaming company. It was also because working with Dream Entertainment could create huge profits. Intel has already tasted the benefits of working with Dream Entertainment. We're looking forward to working with them this time. "
Craig praised Dream Entertainment, which made Mu Shuang smile inexplicably. Of course, Mu Shuang wouldn't be so easily flattered. Instead, she thought about what kind of expression Craig would have when Dream Entertainment tore up the agreement.
"This time, Intel has defeated many competitors and finally became Dream Entertainment's partner. Intel is very honored and grateful to Dream Entertainment for choosing us. Intel promises to provide the most reliable, stable, and high-quality personal gaming servers for players all over the world! We, Intel, fully support the dreams of the players! "Craig spoke eloquently. There wasn't much of a conflict in the news.
After waiting for a few minutes, Craig finally finished his official speech. Xie Hui announced the start of the Q&A session.
David Wei, a reporter from the Wall Street Journal of Lijian Province, took the best position and got the first round of questions. This made Hu Ke, the host of Shuangqing TV Station, who was standing beside David, a little unhappy.
"Ms. Mu, why did Dream Entertainment give up on AMD and announce the contract with Intel at lightning speed?" David asked a tricky question.
Mu Shuang's expression did not change at all. She said calmly, "Intel is more suitable to cooperate with us. We have reached an agreement before. Naturally, Intel will be our first choice for the second round of cooperation!"
David was obviously not satisfied with this answer. "Mr. Craig, may I ask what price did Intel pay to knock AMD out of the game?"
"Three strikes out" was a baseball term. It meant that Intel eliminated AMD directly. Why did they overturn AMD so forcefully?
Craig turned his head and glanced at Mu Shuang. After the two of them nodded slightly, Craig said, "Our Intel company has signed a high profit sharing agreement with Dream Entertainment. Both of us will jointly invest in a joint venture company. In the future, Intel will also provide custom-grade chip design, development, and mass production services for Dream Entertainment. Based on these advantages, Intel is more competitive! "
David did not give up. "Mr. Craig, what is the profit sharing ratio between Intel and Dream Entertainment? Rumor has it that AMD and Dream Entertainment's profit sharing ratio is 25%. Dream Entertainment takes 25%! Could it be that Intel's profit sharing ratio is more than 25%? "
This was a good question. If Intel's profit sharing ratio was more than 25%, Intel's partners all over the world would bring a lot of trouble to Intel.
Craig smiled and said, "Our Intel Company and Dream Entertainment Company's profit sharing ratio is 05/05. Both parties will share it equally."
In fact, Intel and AMD shared the same profit sharing ratio, which was 25%. However, Intel and Dream Entertainment had an additional agreement. The profit sharing ratio was 05%. This was to protect Intel's reputation.
David from the Wall Street Journal wanted to ask more questions, but Xie Hui quickly stopped him. "David, it's free time. Every reporter is only allowed to ask one question. You've exceeded the limit!"
Hu Ke, who was standing beside David, quickly raised her hand and asked, "Mr. Xie, why didn't I see Mr. Shi at the press conference of Dream Entertainment and Intel's signing ceremony today? Mr. Shi is the CEO of Dream Entertainment. Why wasn't he present at such an important press conference? Is there any inside story? Rumor has it that Mr. Shi is more in favor of cooperating with AMD. Is this true? "
Hu Ke from Shuangqing TV Station was usually the first reporter to ask questions at Dream Entertainment's press conferences. This time, Shi Lei wasn't present, so Hu Ke wasn't the first to ask questions. She was a little dissatisfied, so her questions were naturally more pointed.
On the afternoon of May 1th, Shi Lei and AMD's Tom were interviewed. Both of them supported each other, which made Hu Ke's statement sound reasonable.
As the host of the press conference, Xie Hui didn't expect that a reporter would ask him such a tricky question. He quickly explained, "Mr. Shi wasn't present at the press conference because …"
"Mr. Hu, Mr. Shi wasn't present at the press conference because he was delayed by some matters. It has nothing to do with Dream Entertainment's choice of partners." Mu Shuang interrupted Xie Hui and answered on his behalf.
Shi Lei's situation in Beijing wasn't suitable to be revealed at the moment. If the media got hold of some specious news and reported it carelessly, it would only affect the company. If it was related to Lingyumo's safety, it would definitely be a big problem.
The press conference between Dream Entertainment and Intel ended unhappily due to the reporters' sharp questions.
Beijing.
The search of the Nuan Chun neighborhood ended. As Shi Lei had expected, they didn't find anything.
No!
There was still a little discovery. The police dog in the ambulance identified Lingyumo's scent, which confirmed Shi Lei's guess. It was this ambulance that had kidnapped Lingyumo.
Unfortunately, the police dog couldn't continue to track Lingyumo's scent. It was as if Lingyumo's scent had disappeared from the Nuan Chun neighborhood.
At seven o 'clock in the evening, Shi Lei drove alone to Sunset Park in his Audi Q2. Sitting on a chair in Sunset Park, Shi Lei whispered, "Izur, did you find anything new?"
"Sir, within three kilometers of the Nuan Chun neighborhood, Beijing's public safety camera system has been damaged. We can't retrieve the surveillance records. The road safety camera system can't capture a large number of pedestrian paths, so we can't investigate further. The National Security Agency's secret surveillance system can't be accessed. Do you want to try to hack it? "Izur reminded.
"Large scale damage? Mark the area of the damaged public safety camera system and send it to the PDA. There's no need to hack the National Security Agency's secret surveillance system. It's meaningless! "Shi Lei shook his head helplessly.
The National Security Agency's secret surveillance system only monitored a few key targets. It wasn't like the public safety camera system, which had cameras everywhere.
Shi Lei took the PDA and looked at the map sent by Izur. The area where the public safety camera system was damaged wasn't a regular area, but an irregular polygon area.
'Is this a trap again? Like the ambulance, it's just a false target to mislead us and waste our human resources. Do they want to take the opportunity to escape? 'Shi Lei thought to himself.
Shuangqing City.
Cyber Security Agency's Western General Headquarters. Lingyumo's mysterious disappearance could be determined to be a kidnapping. As the director of the Western General Headquarters, Ling Yuguo suppressed his anger and arranged all the resources that could be mobilized.
Sitting in the office, Ling Yuguo smoked a cigarette, which was rare. The ashtray on the desk was full of cigarette butts. Ling Yuguo was obviously in a bad mood.
"Ring ~"
The phone on the desk rang. Ling Yuguo thought it was a call from one of his subordinates. He picked up the phone and put it to his ear.
"Director Ling, hello, I'm Mr. Xiao. I want to talk to you about your daughter Lingyumo." Mr. Xiao's elegant voice came from the receiver.
Mr. Xiao finally came from behind the scenes!
Ling Yuguo suppressed his anger and said in a cold voice, "What do you want?"
