Masayoshi Son, the visionary founder of SoftBank Group, reportedly engaged in discussions with Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger about the potential acquisition of Intel's foundry business in the weeks leading up to SoftBank's announcement of a $2 billion investment in Intel on Monday. The comprehensive talks delved into various avenues, encompassing possibilities such as partnerships with third parties and equity investments. However, after thorough deliberations, both parties agreed to collaborate through a minority equity investment by SoftBank, whereby SoftBank acquired Intel common stock at a price of $23 per share.
