Artificial intelligence, big data analysis and cloud computing are the three major foundations of Yahoo. Other searches, Toutiao, linkedin, Yahoo Financial Services and so on are extensions on this basis. Zhou Shi clearly recognizes this.

In the future, there may be miracles in the competition in the Internet industry, but most of the time it will become a competition of comprehensive strength, technology and traffic are indispensable. The chances of small enterprises becoming large enterprises to succeed are getting smaller and smaller, and from small to strong is more realistic. However, after the order is formed, the laws will be more standardized. If Internet companies want to make waves, they must consider it. The European and American plan to tax large multinational Internet companies in Silicon Valley shows that a lot of things. The greater the impact of an industry on society and the more obvious the accumulation of wealth, the stricter the supervision it will be. This is inevitable to form a social order, and there is no possibility of exception. The stricter the supervision, it means that the industry has basically reached its peak.

Therefore, cooperation and competition between Internet companies will become the norm. Ali and Goudong's choice will not only not be allowed by law, but will also be warned by the market.

Based on the above understanding, the open source architecture of mips has become less important. In addition to allowing Yahoo to gain more say in the field of technology, it is to allow China to have more time to develop its own chip design industry. Now that these two goals have been achieved, the company of mips has appreciated, it has no need to leave this company.

Almost all large companies around the world are developing artificial intelligence. If Yahoo has always controlled the development direction of mips, then companies such as Google and Microsoft will definitely reduce their support for mips architecture for risk reasons. It would be different to sell it to Amd. An independent traditional chip design company, even if Yahoo is its major shareholder, the interests of this company are very different from those of Yahoo. If Yahoo's interests are the main interests, Amd's current management will inevitably be sued.

Because of this, companies including Microsoft, Google, and Apple are optimistic about Amd's acquisition of MiPS, and they objected to Intel, Nvidia and other companies, but it was basically useless. Amd's plan to acquire MiPS with equity and accept Yahoo's capital injection was approved by the Amd's board of directors, and the Lighthouse Government did not object. According to the agreement, Yahoo will eventually hold 35% of Amd's shares. I won't mention the specific price, it doesn't make much sense.

At the most critical moment, Amd obtained sufficient funds, which hit Intel a big blow. The market's reaction was that Intel's stock price fell for several consecutive days. Amd's price has been set and there is nothing to rise, and everything will be clear until the dust settles.

However, even if Yahoo's funds have not been received, Amd is brave enough to increase its order volume and publicity efforts. This time, the franchise semiconductor will also come out to stand on the platform. After all, Amd's orders may become the largest source of revenue for Franchise semiconductors.

Advanced technical architecture and process technology, two key links that determine the performance of CPU have been opened up, and the phased results of AMD are almost inevitable. Adding together various factors is the main reason for the decline in Intel's stock price.

Of course, after Amd acquired Mips, it expanded its own living space, from CPU, graphics cards, to artificial intelligence chips, driverless driving, cloud computing data center server CPU chips, etc. The chips are still chips, but the development prospects are very different.

Privately, the shareholders of amd received a lot of inquiry calls, and a competition for invisible smoke is taking place in private. Fortunately, the shareholders who did not agree with Yahoo basically had no hope of joining the Amd board of directors. Yahoo took the initiative to respond to changes and carefully selected their long-term partners in the future.

Zhou Shi's leisure does not mean that others are the same, so Tesla encountered misfortune.

"The fatal accident occurred in Tesla's unmanned driving!"

Today's Toutiao, Twitter, and Facebook were flooded with such a news. Tesla, who chose to cooperate with mobileye, still encountered misfortune. Zhou Shi read the news carefully, but fortunately, he was seriously injured and hospitalized, and no one died!

The emergence of driverless cars will almost certainly change the taxi and online car-hailing industries, and there is also a great possibility that it will subvert traditional feature phones to the iPhone and subvert the real automobile industry. As a high-tech new energy vehicle company with a market value of around US$30 billion, Musk naturally does not want to lag behind the entire era. Investing in driverless cars is the beginning of his leading the era. However, pioneers do not necessarily have good luck, and the pioneers of failure occupy the vast majority.

Tesla's accident certainly does not represent Tesla's failure, but the blow is certain. Traditional cars may have a traffic accident in one thousand cars, but the tolerance for driverless cars may be one in one hundred thousand. It is very unfair, but it is normal. Innovation is so difficult, either not to fight or tolerate this injustice.

Zhou Shi has nothing to say, and Musk doesn't need his comfort. However, if such a big accident occurs, the cooperation between Tesla and mobileye may change. This is not just a technical issue, but also a responsibility issue.

Is there any problem with mobileye’s driverless technology? There must be a problem. This technology cannot be successful in a short period of time, but the problem is that without sufficient road data, it is difficult to succeed. If you don’t succeed, you cannot go on the road. So having a chicken or an egg first has become a very dialectical problem in the direction of driverless cars. So Zhou Shi thought about acquiring Avis, such a car rental company with heavy assets and high debt.

"How are we doing with Avis' acquisition?" Zhou Shi came to Yelp's headquarters and found Shen Haoyu and asked. He looked at Avis' stock price and had risen by 60% from the low point.

"We are talking!" Shen Haoyu

The acquisition of Avis was not actually Yelp, but a consortium formed by Xinghe Capital. In addition to Yelp and Guoke, there are partners like Yinhu Capital. Zhou Shi’s acquisition of Avis was not about the profitability of this company, but hoped to get more additional benefits through it, such as allowing Chery Automobile and Saab Auto to enter the European and American markets, becoming an option.

Geely entered the British market and first acquired a taxi company. It can be seen that Fengzhitongyou is not a great idea that Zhou Shi has. However, Zhou Shi is not confident if he can acquire such a company. For example, Lenovo’s market value is less than 10 billion US dollars, but can anyone really buy Lenovo for 10 billion US dollars? I’m afraid it may not be possible. Fortunately, Zhou Shi has opened the halo of pig’s feet and can achieve everything he wants.

"The hope is great, but it may not be an acquisition, but a privatization of Avis. Our plan has been recognized..." Shen Haoyu
