746 One step late

Nervously packed up, got in the car, and headed to the airport.

Yes, in order to transport this production line back to China as soon as possible this time, Qin Feng spent a lot of money to rent a special plane specially for transporting goods.

A300-600F, this is a specialized civilian cargo aircraft. It can carry 50 tons and can transport 21 pallets and 23 containers at a time.

It will take two or three months for this cargo ship to return to China. This plane will arrive in two days. Moreover, its load capacity can basically meet the load capacity of this production line.

"Mr. Qin, what about these other things? No? What about our production line now? Are there other things?" Jerry Rogers asked curiously.

Now that the company has been sold, he is debt-free and still has a balance of tens of millions of dollars. In this era, he is already a rich man.

"Others are lagging behind. This is the only production line that I can barely take a fancy to." Qin Feng shrugged.

This production line belongs to Cyrix's next-generation production line. They have already developed it, but the problem is that it requires a lot of funds to put the production line into production.

In an era where orders are almost zero and being completely suppressed by Intel's Pentium series, it is difficult for Cyrix to spend a lot of money on new production lines.

Once the production line goes down, what will we do if there are no orders? The money invested is not just a little bit, but calculated in hundreds of millions of dollars.

How much is a company worth? If you spend hundreds of millions of dollars on it and end up losing money, then you really lose everything.

"Others are already lagging behind, so what are we still doing!" Qin Feng curled his lips, "Will you continue to be beaten by Intel?" Qin Feng asked in return.

Jerry Rogers smiled awkwardly. They have indeed been beaten by Intel all the way. And not just in a year or two, but since the birth of Cyrix. In the blink of an eye, it has been 10 years.

In other words, their company has been beaten by Intel for ten years. Their living environment in these ten years has been extremely harsh. They have relied entirely on ultra-cheap prices to compete with Intel.

After all, if Intel sells the same chip for $100 a piece, Cyrix won't cost more than $50. Or even thirty or forty dollars.

"What about the employees?" Jerry Rogers asked, "They are all your employees now!"

For these employees, according to the agreement, all severance pay and the like will be paid by Jerry Rogers and other shareholders. It has nothing to do with Qin Feng. This is also the reason for the US$200 million purchase.

Of course, there are not many employees nowadays. The total severance package is not much. So, Jerry Rogers readily agreed.

"I will ask them for their personal opinions. If they are willing to go to China for development, then I will invite them back with a high salary. On the contrary, I will follow them." Qin Feng said.

As long as there are drawings, technical production lines, and relevant patent rights, Qin Feng doesn't care about the rest.

For 200 million U.S. dollars, this is what I bought. The rest could be better, but if I don’t have them, it doesn’t matter.

Afterwards, Qin Feng consulted. However, the result was not beyond Qin Feng's expectation. None of these people wanted to develop in China.

They are all willing to get a severance package before looking for a job.

After all, in their eyes, today's China is a remote and remote place. Many people may even think that the Chinese people still have long braids and wear weird clothes (official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty) if they had not seen Qin Feng and Lei Jun.

Sallow complexion and thin skin.

"Let's go! We can go back to China!" Qin Feng didn't want to stay any longer for fear of causing complications.

Subsequently, the 0.18 micron production line was loaded onto the A300-600F cargo plane, and Qin Feng and Lei Jun took the latest flight directly to Shanghai.

Shortly after the two boarded the plane, the U.S. Department of Commerce finally got the message and staff rushed over.

"Did you sell the company?" the staff asked Jerry Rogers.

"Even if you are from the Ministry of Commerce, this is our company's decision and has nothing to do with you!" Jerry Rogers snorted.

"But do you know that your buyer is Chinese!" a staff member from the Ministry of Commerce said coldly, "You are selling important secrets to China."

Jerry Rogers pouted.

"I don't know if he is Chinese. I only know that he got a green card from the United States. According to the U.S. Constitution, there is no problem if I sell it to him! Okay, don't bother me!" Jerry Rogers pushed away a few people.

A staff member of the Ministry of Commerce walked away in high spirits.

What a joke! If he doesn’t sell Qin Feng, who will he sell it to? For $200 million, no company in the United States will want it. After all, a product of a backward era, a product destined to be eliminated, I am afraid only the Chinese will buy it. You want it?

Give it to an American for free and ask him to spend money to run it, and he won't even do it.

Subsequently, after the U.S. Department of Commerce learned of the message, it immediately inquired about the freighter's information and wanted to stop it. However, after finally learning that it was traveling for air cargo and had flown out of U.S. airspace, it had no choice but to give up.

In the end, the U.S. Department of Commerce did not continue to delve into this matter. After all, Cyrix is ​​really lagging behind. Even if it is acquired by China, it will be of no use. It is a company that has been beaten by Intel. If you buy it, it will have no practical significance.

Of course, Qin Feng’s name is on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s key watch list.

Naturally, Qin Feng doesn't know all this. Of course, even if Qin Feng knows, it doesn't matter.

After a 16-hour flight, Qin Feng and Lei Jun arrived in Magic City.

At this moment, the cargo plane has arrived at the airport.

When they opened the warehouse and saw the intact 0.18 micron production line, both Qin Feng and Lei Jun were surprised.

"First send this batch of goods to the temporarily rented warehouse. Then we can build the factory!" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Yes, we finally have our CPU production line!" Lei Jun also looked happy and excited, which was beyond words.

There was no CPU production line before. There was no such production line in the whole of China. Now, we have our own CPU!

Although the performance will be much worse, at least it is there. This is much simpler than starting from scratch and then trying to catch up.

Anything from 0 to 1 is always the most difficult. And from 1 to 100, although it seems difficult, it is an incremental process.

This is much simpler.

"Now, we can hold a press conference!" Qin Feng said with a smile.

Subsequently, Qin Feng and Lei Jun held a press conference in the Magic City.

"Dear journalist friends, here we would like to solemnly announce one thing, that is, our company has officially successfully acquired the American Cyrix chip company for US$200 million. From this moment on, China has completely said goodbye to the country without its own country.
Chapter completed!
