Chapter 688

After Ma Yun left, Yang Qihang called.

After Yang Qing answered, Yang Qihang's angry voice came through.

Yang Qing asked curiously.

"What's wrong?"

Yang Qihang was furious and shouted angrily.

"Intel is actually suppressing our Youlong's Crystal Element supply."

"It must be Microsoft causing trouble behind the scenes."

"Too much; we now own 12% of Intel's shares, yet they dare to treat us like this."

Yang Qing was also angry inside; he had long known that the Microsoft-Intel alliance would eventually target Youlong.

Because Youlong has been developing better and better these past two years.

This year, global Youlong computer sales are expected to reach 9 million units.

Profit per unit can reach 1200, Youlong can achieve tens of billions in gross profit, around 6 billion in net profit.

Intel downgraded Youlong's status from first-class supplier to second-class supplier.

Whether priority or compatibility, there will be a significant impact.

For Youlong, the impact is huge.

After Yang Qing thought calmly for a moment, he said.

"Send someone to negotiate; if that still doesn't work, this year we'll dump all our Intel shares."

"Go talk to AMD."

"Demand top-tier partner rights; AMD is now racing hard to catch up with Intel, so this condition should be fine."

"Let's push for technical integration."

"Intel's solution and AMD's solution are neck-and-neck; whoever gives more support gets a bit more backing."

"The key is still Youlong's sales."

Yang Qihang actually just came to complain; he didn't expect his old man to directly want to clear out the shares.

"Dad, isn't directly dumping the shares a bit overreacting?"

Yang Qing gives Intel no face; he has always been a major shareholder of Intel but has never participated in its management, and the board has even handed voting rights to the management team.

Now this is slapping his face.

Moreover, he now isn't afraid of offending them.

Now that the Emperor has come to power, in less than two years Yingjiang will need to improve relations with Daxia.

The chance of being fully targeted is relatively small.

"Just do it; after being slapped in the face, why think so much?"

Even if we switch to AMD, Yang Qing's anger hasn't subsided.

Yang Qing thought of Academician Ni, who came from Lenovo.

Ark Crystal Element isn't without opportunity; at least Youlong can withstand Microsoft's counterfeit free strategy.

Opening up the Youlong system then wouldn't be impossible.

Make a simplified version of the Youlong public system, specifically to pair with Ark for a cost-performance strategy.

Just survive.

"You embarrass me, I'll make you suffer."

Academician Ni had just brought his team out.

Historically he dabbled in software, systems, and Crystal Elements, but ended up failing under the sniper fire of the Microsoft-Intel alliance.

If he focused on Crystal Elements, he should achieve greater success.

Thinking this through, Yang Qing got through to Academician Ni's phone.

Don't ask how I know; we're acquainted and have a good relationship.

Yang Qing once wanted to pull him in.

But it didn't work out.

Academician Ni now has some connection with Li Delei.

He wants to go over to support him.

Yang Qing made that call at that moment.

Now phones already have caller ID.

Moreover, Academician Ni still uses the phone made by Yang Qihang.

Upon seeing it was Yang Qing, he was stunned for a moment then delighted.

"Director Yang?"

Yang Qing said into the phone.

Ni Bro, do you have time to meet and talk?

Ni nodded, holding back a laugh inside.

"Sure, sure, I was just looking for you."

He was just thinking about where to make some money, and here you come.

Yang Qing didn't notice his mood change; the two agreed on a place, then hung up.

Yang Qing Household Chores a bit, then went to the meeting spot.

When he arrived, he also saw a person, Li Delei.

Yang Qing was first taken aback, then put on a smile.

"Chief Li is also here."

Afterward, the three people sat down.

"Director Yang won't mind me bringing a friend, will he?"

Ni joked.

Yang Qing shook his head; although it was a bit unsuitable, it wasn't worth getting angry over.

Moreover, the two of them are now tied together; even if Yang Qing is unwilling, the matter still needs to be discussed with Li Delei.

"It's fine; seeing Chief Li, I feel I've come late."

Li Delei hurriedly said.

"Not late, not late; just right, just right."

Developing the system, office software, and Crystal Element requires a lot of money; Yang Qing's arrival is timely.

Yang Qing looked toward Ni.

Ni expressed his and Li Delei's ideas.

"We want to develop a system based on Linux for our Daxia, then develop an office software to go with it; most importantly, we want to develop Ark Crystal Element to build an ecosystem."

"Director Yang, are you interested in investing?"

Yang Qing shook his head.

"I want to ask you, if it fails, how do we continue?"

Yang Qing's question is deadly.

Li Delei furrowed his brows.

"We have Daxia's support.........."

Yang Qing waved his hand.

"Just tell me what to do if we fail."

"Daxia also has to follow market rules."

"How would they accept an impractical computer?"

Ni also furrowed his brows.

Li Delei looked at Ni, then said.

"What we are doing is what Daxia needs; if we fail, Daxia will be subject to others."

"Even if we fail, we have made an effort."

Yang Qing shook his head again, he looked toward Ni.

Ni thought a lot; he also saw that Yang Qing was not optimistic.

"Director Yang, are you saying we cannot succeed?"

Yang Qing nodded.

"A computer is a systemic project; it cannot be solved by developing just one system, one office software, and one Crystal Element."

"These are not hard to make now, but what about the supporting components?"

"How to solve the compatibility problem? How to solve the driver problem? How to solve various functional software problems?"

"If you have no market, no one will make supporting components for you."

"If no one makes supporting components, no one will buy."

"This is a problem of the whole ecosystem, not just solving one system and one office software."

"Unless you can instantly be compatible with Microsoft's system and use their ecosystem."

Li Delei sighed.

"It seems we can't do it."

Ni also felt a sense of loss, but then he thought of Yang Qing.

"Director Yang, since you've said that, do you have a solution?"

When the subject was brought up, Yang Qing nodded.

"Wandering Dragon Computer."

"Wandering Dragon Computer?"

Yang Qing affirmed.

"Originally, I came this time specifically to provide supporting components for Wandering Dragon Computer."

"Wandering Dragon has its own ecosystem, and the market is not small either."

"Wandering Dragon now needs Crystal Element."

"So we want to set up a Crystal Element company dedicated to providing supporting components for Wandering Dragon."

Ni's eyes lit up, but Li Delei's face looked grim.

This is an interception.

Ni then thought of Li Delei.

"Director Yang can invest in us; we will research Crystal Element for Wandering Dragon."

Yang Qing shook his head.

"I said it's to provide supporting components for Wandering Dragon."

"So it would be a subsidiary of Wandering Dragon; would Chief Li be willing to give up his current company and join Wandering Dragon?"

Li Delei shook his head.

"I have my own company."
