Rebirth of Fortune Soars

Of course, if the target is changed from NVIDIA to ATI, the method can't be the same.

　　 Especially, He Guoyuan deeply believes in the wet towel theory, and he will never agree to the company being acquired.

　　 Of course, it's not that it won't.

　　 After all, ATI was acquired by AMD in 2006 for $5.4 billion.

　　 It's just that, at the time of the acquisition, ATI had already been driven off the altar by Nvidia, who came from behind, and was in a deep predicament.

　　 At that time, He Guoyuan also had to sell it. But now, there is no way.

　　 As for Qin Feng's wait until then to buy, this is too long. It will take several years. In the past few years, my own CPU might have been left far behind by Intel.

　　 Qin Feng can accept that CPU performance can only be compared with Intel's low-end, but it cannot be said that it has been completely driven out of the market. But under the current development, it is very possible.

　　 Therefore, Qin Feng can only play comprehensive cards and use the overall performance to enhance his competitiveness.

But what made Qin Feng very helpless was that Nvidia chose to cooperate closely with Microsoft for reasons of political correctness, and He Guoyuan, although he was happy with the company’s intention to cooperate from China, clearly rejected Qin Feng’s cooperation. Suggestions.

　　ATI can provide Qin Feng with graphics chips, but it does not accept any cooperation other than that.

　　 ATI is currently very powerful and is the leader in display chips. The market share of display chips exceeds 70%. In a few countries, it has reached 90% of the market share. With such a strong market position, ATI does not need to cooperate with anyone.

"Mr. Qin, if you want to buy our display chip, we are very welcome. And I am willing to supply you at a price of 5% lower than the market supply price." He Guoyuan said, "But for your other intentions, I only I can say sorry!"

　　 "I see, thank you Mr. He, I will carefully consider your proposal, and then contact again!" Qin Feng could only helplessly hang up the phone.

　　 "What's wrong?" Ihanno came over with a fruit plate.

　　 Qin Feng shrugged.

　　 "It seems that this world is not all smooth sailing, not everything goes smoothly." Qin Feng sighed.

　　 Originally, Qin Feng thought that as long as he had memories of later generations, everything would be simple.

　　 But in fact, memory is memory, and those things in memory happen naturally at that point. Forcibly intervening by yourself, some may be successful, but some may not be successful.

　　 For example, this time, Qin Feng failed one after another.

　　 But Qin Feng was not discouraged.

　　 On the market, there are currently display chip manufacturers, not only the powerful ATI, the full potential of Nvidia, and now the 3DFX company's Voodoo (Voodoo).

　　Voodoo (Voodoo) graphics card can be said to be the strongest 3D graphics card today. In the field of 3D, it surpasses ATI. At present, the dream configuration of many computer players is that Pentium 2 is equipped with Voodoo 2 graphics card.

　　 It's just that, this graphics card has a flaw, that is, its 2D display performance is relatively mediocre, and the price is a bit expensive. Therefore, it is not a standard configuration, but a configuration for a few enthusiasts.

　　 Therefore, Voodoo (Voodoo) graphics cards are indeed very good, with a high market share, but they are only limited to a few high-end markets.

　　 After all, there is not much demand for 3D graphics cards at this stage, and there are not many 3D computer games on the market. In particular, no matter how good the Voodoo graphics card is, the game graphics displayed by its games cannot be compared with PS.

　　 The real 3D masterpiece game is still on the home console platform. Although there are many games on the computer platform, at present, it is still not enough to support 3D games.

　　 Therefore, the Voodoo (Voodoo) graphics card is very popular, but it doesn't make much money.

　　Plus, Voodoo (Voodoo) graphics card made a fatal mistake, that is, it does not support Microsoft's DirectX, which will be abandoned by the market in the next two or three years. It was eventually acquired by Nvidia at a very cheap price of $75 million.

　　 Relative to its status and market appeal, it is really the price of cabbage.

　　 Unfortunately, the market never believes in tears.

　　 As for Nvidia's ability to grow into a giant in the display chip market, and come from behind, the reason is also that it is cooperating with Microsoft. In the early days, NVIDIA maintained close cooperation with Microsoft and was the first to support DirectX. This allowed Microsoft to completely dominate the home computer operating system and lay a solid foundation.

　　 And it is all Microsoft XBOX orders that give back to Nvidia. The entire XBOX display chip comes from Nvidia. This also allowed NVIDIA's instant market share to soar, and eventually surpassed ATI.

　　 Qin Feng tapped his fingers.

　　 How to calculate this, my most powerful opponent is actually Microsoft.

　　 And Qin Feng is not hostile to Microsoft at present. There is no way, not because I don't want to compete, but because I don't have any possibility of competition at all.

　　 This is like an ant telling an elephant that he wants to challenge him and kill the elephant.

　　 This is a joke, no one takes it seriously.

　　 In reality, Qin Feng really faces the terrifying Microsoft.

　　 Especially, Microsoft's tentacles have entered the domestic market.

　　 Right now, Microsoft's win98 will be online. However, Wangyi Dingsanshi has a cooperation with Microsoft.

　　 Qin Feng's thoughts turned, and finally shook his head, not thinking about it.

　　 Some things are too far away, you don’t have to think about it so much.

　　 For Qin Feng, what really needs to be considered is how he acquires the display chip.

　　 Voodoo (Voodoo) is currently the most suitable for the moment. However, this company is too bloated at the moment.

　　 Voodoo 2 is the best graphics card at the moment, and it is the dream of all players.

　　 Although I said, the company doesn't make much money. Because the development cost is too high, the manufacturing cost of a single card is too high, and the sales volume is not high. The entire company, you can say it is empty. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

　　 But, people have a high spirits.

　　 is like a general who has just won a big battle. Ask him if he is worried about losing in the next war. Isn't this looking for a fight!

　　 Although this day is not far away.

　　 In 2000, Voodoo (Voodoo) was acquired by Nvidia.

　　 It’s mid-1998 now, and it’s been two years.

　　 A company that is now infinitely promising will be acquired by the currently inconspicuous Nvidia. This has to be told to others, no one will believe it. Of course, this is also full of explanations, how fierce the competition in the IT market is.

　　 In the graphics card market, competition is more intense.

　　 But, how can I have an entry point?

　　 Qin Feng searched for relevant information on the Internet, and unexpectedly discovered a coincidence. A very coincidental point.

　　3DFX company was created by three designers-Sellers, Gary-Tarolli and Ross-Smith from Silicon Valley Graphics, Digital Equipment Corporation, MIPS Computer Systems and Pellucid.

　　 And these three people happen to be students from the Computer Department of Reed College. That is theoretically Qin Feng's alumni.

　　 There is a relationship.
