Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16 - Acquisition-2

After the meeting, Eleanor returned to her office and called in five members of the top management. Along with them, Teresa, Lily, and Maya were also present, sitting in front of her.

She opened her MacBook and navigated to her future plans folder.

"You all know that Corsair Gaming currently has the best DDR5 RAM in the market. However, I would argue otherwise. The best RAM is actually from Angelic Labs Limited, one of the companies we just acquired. The problem is their production costs are high, and due to a lack of funds, they couldn't capture the market's attention. Only a few gaming enthusiasts buy their RAM."

She paused and looked around the room, ensuring everyone was following her.

"By acquiring this company, we now own their design and production line. We will expand the production line and stop selling the RAM externally. Instead, we will stockpile them for our servers."

Everyone began to understand the reasoning behind such a large-scale acquisition.

She continued, "Another company we bought was InfiTech Solutions. They produce HBM4-based memory for SK Hynix. We have already finalized our own HBM4-based memory, which is not much different from Hynix's. With slight alterations in the production line, we can begin production immediately."

She then shifted her focus to another company. "ByteNest Innovations has a fully established top-loading storage server production line. They are currently manufacturing storage servers using the NVIDIA Grace CPU Superchip. We will alter the production line and produce our own 4U top-loading storage servers invented by our US office."

Turning her gaze toward a woman in her early 30s, wearing golden-rimmed glasses, she said, "Helena, you are being promoted. You will take charge of these three factories as the production manager of the Memory Department. You also need to secure as many Micron 9550 NVMe SSDs as possible from the market."

Helena Rodrigues, a Brazilian immigrant, had been working at Hewlett-Packard after completing her graduation from Stanford when Eleanor first met her at a training center in Indianapolis. With sun-kissed skin, dark wavy hair cascading past her shoulders, and deep brown eyes, Helena's presence was both commanding and graceful. Her expertise and ability to captivate an audience made her an asset.

Helena nodded in satisfaction. After nearly a year at the company, Eleanor had finally entrusted her with the role she had promised during recruitment. "I'll do my best," she said confidently.

Eleanor continued, "We will retain all employees from these factories who agree to our terms and sign the confidentiality agreement. This way, we will have an almost fully operational factory with minimal vacancies."

She paused before moving to the next point. "InfiTech Solutions is the sole distributor of AMD Inc. in the Kingdom's market. TechNest Global is one of the distributors of NVIDIA Corporation in the Kingdom's market. We will need a large-scale supply of AMD Instinct MI300X and NVIDIA H100 NVL cards in the future. We also need AMD EPYC 9754 and NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchip processors. I acquired these two companies to stockpile these components."

She then looked at the entire group and continued, "DataNest Innovations recently developed a high-performance, high-density data center switch comparable to the Cisco Nexus 9800 Series. However, they failed to gain an advantage because NVIDIA's InfiniBand interconnects dominated the market. Due to their lack of resources, DataNest was planning to sell the technology to competitors of NVIDIA."

She turned to Olivia Brown, who had followed her from the United States. "We need to cooperate with our US team and improve these two products for our internal use. Olivia, you will be the Manager of Networking Infrastructure. Given that your family is still in the US, you'll be the perfect candidate to travel between the two locations as needed."

Olivia accepted immediately. "Thank you. I'll do my best with these two companies."

Eleanor concluded, "All five of you have been promoted to managerial positions with different duties. However, remember that cooperation is key to ensuring the success of our final product. More companies will be joining us in the future, so be prepared for additional responsibilities."

She then turned to Teresa. "If I'm not mistaken, we currently hold only 2.1% of NVIDIA's shares. To ensure a stable supply of their products, I want that number to increase to at least 10%. Keep an eye on US stock movements. Additionally, I noticed that some Indian startups are developing network infrastructures. If there are any significant advancements, inform me immediately. I want to invest in Indian manufacturers."

After exchanging ideas and clarifying future tasks, the group dispersed, leaving Eleanor alone in her office to prepare for her next meeting with Fortune Tech.
