Today was the worst day in Swan's Intel CEO position.
Actually it wasn't just him, this was the worst day for Intel in the past century.
Back in the day, the VLSI Research Institute, jointly established by Japan's top semiconductor companies, dominated the North American market with their cheap and reliable 64k chips. Pushing the price of chips from $26 to $5. Even back then, the Americans didn't feel the despair they did now.
Back then, they still had the power to fight back.
And now, their proudest technology didn't stand a chance against the carbon-based chips.
The greedy executives sitting around the conference table lost the color on their faces.
However, even though this was painful, when Swan walked out of the conference room, he felt like a mountain had been lifted off his shoulders. He felt totally relaxed.
At least this meant they wouldn't have to apply for bankruptcy protection.
