Chapter 840

.

May 78rd, 1: 97 in the evening.

Shuangqing City, Shuanghu District back street, Palando Italian Restaurant.

Shi Lei sat in a quiet corner with Mu Shuang and Lingyumo. The owner of Palando Italian Restaurant, Cesare, personally served the mousse cake ordered by Shi Lei and greeted him in Italian, "Long time no see, and your two girlfriends."

Shi Lei looked a little embarrassed. He had joked with Cesare that Mu Shuang and Lingyumo were both his girlfriends. At that time, Shi Lei thought that Mu Shuang and Lingyumo did not understand Italian. That was why he and Cesare were bragging without restraint. Who knew that Mu Shuang also knew Italian? Shi Lei suddenly felt miserable!

"Ahem, Cesare, hurry up and do your work. We still have things to talk about." Shi Lei responded in Italian.

Cesare did not mind at all and replied, "I will send you a spaghetti later. I will go and do other things first. Good luck, Shi Lei!"

Mu Shuang had an inexplicable smile on her face and whispered, "Shi Lei, I don't like spaghetti. Later, help me eat my portion!"

Shi Lei looked as if he had accepted his fate and nodded. "Okay, no problem!"

Lingyumo saw that Shi Lei had agreed and immediately joined in the fun. "Stone Monster, I don't like spaghetti either. You have to help me eat it!"

Shi Lei was speechless. Looking at Lingyumo's little face full of expectation, what else could he say? He could only nod!

"Damn spaghetti, I hate it too!" Shi Lei was crying in his heart. Cesare was a big trap. Of all things to send, he had to send spaghetti!

Shi Lei and the two girls talked about all kinds of interesting things while eating. Shi Lei wanted to send the two girls home, but Mu Shuang and Lingyumo's cars were parked at the Jade Building. Shi Lei could only send them there and go home alone.

Shi Lei had a long way to go if he wanted to further develop his relationship with the two girls.

Jingya Court.

Shi Lei returned to his house and sat on the sofa in the living room in a daze. He did not think about anything, just quietly in a daze. Recently, a lot of things had happened. Shi Lei could not find a quiet time to rest.

When it was almost nine o'clock, Izur's cold voice sounded. "Sir, the information retrieval system found that Intel will officially hold a press conference at nine o'clock in the morning on May 78rd, Lijian Province time. The main system analyzed that Intel's press conference might be targeted at Dream Entertainment. Sir, are you following Intel's press conference? "

Shi Lei stood up from the sofa. His expression changed slightly. Dream Entertainment and AMD had just jointly held a press conference. Intel was also holding a press conference. This was obviously a problem!

"Izur, is there a live broadcast of Intel's press conference on the internet?" Shi Lei asked.

Normally, a press conference of a technology company would be broadcasted live on the internet. Especially Apple's press conferences. They like to broadcast their press conferences to the whole world to expand Apple's influence.

"Sir, I've found out that Intel's press conference will be broadcasted live on YouTube. The main system is connecting to an overseas server to obtain the link to the YouTube video, "Izur replied to Shi Lei.

It was nine o'clock in the evening, Lijian Province time, and nine o'clock in the morning.

Intel officially held a press conference. The person hosting the press conference was the Senior Vice President, Craig Berrett. He had the most dealings with Dream Entertainment.

Lijian Province, Santa Clara, California.

Santa Clara was one of the cities formed by Silicon Valley. Not only was Intel's headquarters located here, but Nvidia and Sun's headquarters were also located in Santa Clara.

Both Intel and Nvidia were the suppliers of the first generation of personal game servers for Dream Entertainment. They were also related to each other.

Many media outlets from Lijian Province and all over the world had gathered at Intel's press conference. Intel's Senior Vice President, Craig Berrett, stood on the podium. He held a microphone and said in English, "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Intel!"

"Today, Intel is holding a press conference to announce two things. I'm afraid that some of you who are well-informed already know what we are going to announce. I hope that you can keep it a secret for the time being. Otherwise, Intel's press conference will lose its meaning, "Craig Berrett said humorously.

Some of the reporters present let out good-natured laughter.

"Before we announce Intel's decision, please take a look at a video report!" Craig Berett stepped aside from the middle of the rostrum so that the projector could project the image on the screen behind the rostrum.

Craig Berett stood at the edge of the podium. As the video was played by the projector, he held the microphone and began to explain.

"In 7551, Intel occupied 48% of the global CPU market. Our competitors only had 2% of the market. Intel's annual profits increased by 62%. Our competitors suffered losses for six consecutive years, and their debts were close to 6 billion USD."

The video screen listed Intel's sales in every region of the world, including the Xia Continent. Intel's sales were much higher than AMD's.

"Intel's technology is far ahead of our competitors. We have complete intellectual property rights. Our annual investment in research and development is also much higher than that of our competitors. We, Intel, have enough confidence to lead all the way in the future! "Craig Berett said in an impassioned tone.

Intel had introduced its new technology, the Core technology, to the market last year, which was 7551. The market response was good, and AMD was exhausted.

Shi Lei watched the live broadcast through Izur. After listening to Craig Berrett's speech, Shi Lei snorted and muttered to himself, "After talking for so long, he's just mocking AMD!"

At Intel's press conference, the video promoting Intel ended. Craig Bereit stood in the middle of the rostrum with a face full of confidence. He said, "The first thing we, Intel, announce is that Dream Entertainment unilaterally tore up the personal game server agreement. We will file a claim for breach of contract with Dream Entertainment. According to the agreement, Dream Entertainment has to pay 055 million USD to Intel. We hope that Dream Entertainment will pay the breach of contract compensation to Intel's account within 60 working days at the latest. "

Craig Berett's first message was a little out of the reporters' expectations. Under normal circumstances, large companies would not express such a demand for payment in public, unless both parties had broken off their relationship.

Not only had Intel and Dream Entertainment broken off their relationship, but they had also become direct competitors!

After Dream Entertainment acquired AMD, they would definitely not give up on the personal computer market. With Dream Entertainment's strong financial resources, AMD was obviously more of a threat to Intel than before.

"My friends, please be prepared for the second announcement. Don't be scared!" Craig Berett joked to lighten the atmosphere. "The second thing that Intel would like to announce is that we will be withdrawing the authorization of AMD's X31 CPU framework technology and will no longer grant AMD related technology authorization."

After Craig Berett announced this matter, the press conference was immediately in an uproar. The reporters asked all kinds of questions and discussed. It was a mess.

A middle-aged reporter from the New York Daily News was the first to ask a question. The middle-aged male reporter opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Craig, since Intel has withdrawn the authorization for AMD's X31 framework, how should AMD deal with the X31 framework CPU that has already been produced?"

Craig Bereit was clearly prepared for this question. "We have already contacted the relevant personnel of AMD. At present, AMD's completed central processing units can be freely sold. Intel will not impose any restrictions on this part of the central processing units. However, AMD cannot continue to produce CPUs based on the X31 framework technology. If Intel finds out that AMD continues to produce CPUs based on the X31 framework, we will sue AMD and demand compensation! "

Another female reporter from BBC News was the second to ask a question. This somewhat beautiful female reporter asked, "Mr. Craig, according to the laws of Lijian Province, your withdrawal of the authorization for AMD's X31 framework should be a violation of the monopoly law. Aren't you afraid of the sanctions of the Lijian Province government? Or rather, AMD is currently controlled by Mr. Xia, and the Lijian Province government has chosen to ignore the monopoly law? "

Shi Lei watched Craig Bereit announce the withdrawal of AMD's authorization of the X31 CPU framework technology through a live broadcast on YouTube. He had a sneer and a sneer on his face.

In fact, Shi Lei had expected that Intel would withdraw the authorization for AMD's X31 CPU framework technology. Shi Lei had no way to stop Intel from withdrawing the authorization.

However, Shi Lei was not without a countermeasure!
