Chapter 22: Hello MOTO
Jared didn't sneak in on someone's workstation like a thief like the two waves of staff around him, but sat lazily on the sofa, looking at the design of the front desk with interest.
This front desk is much more atmospheric than the front desk of other domestic enterprises, and it is concise with a sense of science and technology.
And the previous front desk girl was also dressed professionally, but she was still a little timid when she saw herself.
At this time, the little sister reappeared in sight: "Three, please come with me." ”
Jared got up first and strode to the side of the office.
......
Su Yuanshan likes to sit on Xi Xiaoding's desk very much, because this guy likes to eat snacks very much, and there are cookies and the like on the table at any time, and Su Yuanshan will come over to rub it when he wants to rest his brain.
At this time, he was also sitting on Xi Xiaoding's desk, making a bet with Xi Xiaoding.
Xi Xiaoding bet that these three people came to buy software, and Su Yuanshan bet that these three people came to beg for themselves.
"Jared?"
"Xi?"
“OMG...... You're here?"
Xi Xiaoding got up with a shocked face, and then greeted Jared, the two hugged each other, and patted each other on the back.
"Toyama, I'll introduce you, Jared, my friend. ”
"Hello, my name is Su Yuanshan. Su Yuanshan hesitated for a moment, smiled quickly, and then smiled at the other two confused wave employees: "What do you call the two of you?"
"Li Kejian. One of the men in his thirties quickly resumed his expression management: "This is my colleague Wang Qiang." ”
Xi Xiaoding led the three of them to the side of the reception sofa, his face flushed a little, and asked with a smile, "We were still betting what you came here to do just now." Jared, are you here to sell computers?"
"Computers?oh...... No. Jared shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Xi, you secretly developed the decoding chip of the Chinese pager and not announced it, let us run to Wuxi Bai." ”
Su Yuanshan coughed.
Then Xi Xiaoding immediately knew what was going on. Although he was not responsible for paging the chip, Su Yuanshan talked to him about the progress when he came over to rub snacks. In the past month, he has witnessed Su Yuanshan's deser throughout the whole process - Su Yuanshan said more than once that it would be fun if Yuanxin and which company developed Chinese paging on the front and back feet.
Unless both companies coincidentally use the same set of Chinese characters to code, there will always be one that suffers. Now it seems that it was Wave or Motorola that suffered.
"Our chips are purely self-developed, and all intellectual property rights, including the Chinese characters that enter the encoding, are carefully selected by us. Xi Xiaoding smiled slowly.
Li Kejian of the wave smiled bitterly: "We too...... President Xi. ”
Su Yuanshan gritted his teeth hard, trying not to laugh out loud: "I'm afraid it's jointly developed with Motorola, right?"
Xi Xiaoding covered his mouth and coughed: "That...... But let's go first. ”
"Yes, yes, you first. Jared patted Xi Xiaoding's shoulder: "That...... I'll just get this straight, hey, we need your coding standards. ”
Xi Xiaoding glanced back, Su Yuanshan understood, and took over with a smile: "Yes, how much money do you give?"
"Money?"
Su Yuanshan nodded naturally: "Yes, we have worked so hard to select a private coding library made of commonly used Chinese characters for so long, and the patents have been reported." ”
"But the Chinese character code is a natural expression, it should not become a patent!" Li Kejian was anxious on the side, and hurriedly said: "And the patent office will not recognize it!"
Su Yuanshan shrugged: "Who knows? If it doesn't work, it's our trade secret. ”
“......”
The three of them looked at Su Yuanshan's eyes and couldn't help but feel a little hateful.
This is the advantage of establishing patent barriers, or technical barriers, first. There are 10,000 ways to play hooligan whenever you want.
If the patent passes, then someone else will have to pay for this code. If it doesn't pass, then the only way to do it is to reverse crack the chip - to see if they have the ability to afford that time.
Of course, you can also be hard and use another set of codes directly. But now Yuanxin has not only designed a decoding chip, but also made an encoding chip, and has also released the video of the first Chinese prototype accepting Chinese messages.
Inspur did not expect that Yuanxin would be able to design a chip that directly replaces the encoder of the single-chip microcomputer, so that the digital paging station can be directly upgraded in situ.
If Inspur wants to do this, I won't say how long it will take, and it is very likely to encounter the patent barriers set by Yuanxin in the middle.
Jared of Motorola, the representative of "Xi ......", shrugged his shoulders: "You are forcing us to develop another coding system and you to seize the market." But in this way, the market will be chaotic because of this, which is not conducive to the overall expansion of the market. ”
"Hmm...... I'll start with a more curious one. Xi Xiaoding ignored Jared's "threat", but turned to look at Li Kejian: "How far has your chip progressed?"
Li Kejian didn't answer, and Wang Qiang, who had been silent since he entered the door, replied with a sad and angry face: "We are all preparing for tape-out!"
"Ahem...... Ahem......"
Xi Xiaoding couldn't hold back any longer, covered his mouth and smiled and bent down.
"That...... Give you two options. Su Yuanshan smiled and made conditions.
......
Seeing the three of them leave with hatred, Su Yuanshan raised his hand, Xi Xiaoding understood, and high-fived him.
Obviously, Motorola's side does not dare to be tough. Although Yuanxin is a private company, it is fully independent intellectual property rights, plus it was released by Huajing, a semiconductor tycoon, as a birthday gift, and once it enters the market, there is no suspense about who the Post and Telecommunications Bureau will choose.
Previously, Su Yuanshan proposed a preliminary plan, either to pay for the purchase of "patents", or to choose Yuanxin's decoding chip for Motorola's Chinese machines in the future.
Of course, Motorola also has a means of applying for administrative means to force Yuanxin to publish the code - this is not without precedent. And it's the most feasible way to do it. After all, Li Kejian was right before, Chinese coding is essentially a natural form of expression, and does not constitute a requirement for applying for a patent - in the previous life, Motorola and Inspur developed the Chinese decoding chip not long after the code, which became the standard for all Han display machines.
But Su Yuanshan is not in a hurry now, Yuanxin is a private company, even if the administrative order is issued, it can still cry, make trouble, and hang himself. As long as it is dragged to the far-core BP machine to occupy the market, what does it matter if it is made public?
"Which way do you think they will choose?" asked Xi Xiaoding.
"I think...... They will choose to give money. Su Yuanshan squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "I don't really want it." ”
"Why, didn't you say you were short of money?"
"Quite simply, Motorola has made too much money over the years. They give money to lose face, but we need at least a few months less to expand the market. As long as we can drag it until the middle of next year, there will be no Motorola in the domestic Chinese pager market. ”
"Unless they buy our chips — of course, we welcome them to buy our chips. ”
Thinking of Motorola pinching her nose and asking herself to buy a decoder chip, Su Yuanshan was so happy.
But he quickly sighed again: "However, if MOTO plays hooliganism from the source, we will be in a rut." ”
Xi Xiaoding was stunned, and soon understood what Su Yuanshan meant - the current paging station signal transmission base station is in the hands of Motorola, accounting for almost 80% of the market.
