Chapter 1240: The hardships and difficulties of basic research and development

It was originally a serious and lively celebration banquet, but for a while, it developed in a festive direction.

Wu Tao broke away from the encirclement of everyone with champagne, and the radiant Fujiwara Rina on the other side immediately got rid of the entertainment in her hand and took the opportunity to post it.

Jingle bell touched the glass, Wu Tao looked at the other party's figure with appreciation and said, "It's beautiful today!"

"Oh~" Rina Fujiwara exclaimed with a flattered face, her seductive red lips opened into a big O-word, which made people reverie, "Really, Wu San?"

Wu Tao raised his eyebrows, "Of course, haven't I praised you before?"

"Not really. Fujiwara Rina turned around and presented a beautiful scenery to Wu Tao's eyes.

It's a bit overwhelming.

Wu Tao looked away, took a sip of champagne, and immediately changed the topic, "The negotiation is good, from now on, ARM will belong to the industry of your Mitsui consortium." Seize it, and your semiconductor industry strategy, the Mitsui Foundation will be inseparable from you. ”

"It's all good for Wu Sangjiao. Fujiwara Rina became more and more emotional, "Wu Sang's cultivation and help to Reina, Rina will never forget." After speaking, the fragrant tongue subconsciously slid over the ruddy soft lips.

It's tempting indeed.

However, Wu Tao didn't see it, and what was even worse was that David had already broken away from the group of fanatical founders, and pulled the two blonde girls who didn't know where they came from.

Herman, Chris, and their entourage turned their heads, red eyes, carrying champagne, and found Wu Tao again.

It is clear that it is a posture of 'father and mother, no Huaxia Wu family'.

was so frightened that Wu Tao didn't even bother to greet Rina Fujiwara, and hurriedly slipped away.

However, at the beginning of the celebration banquet, the venue was so big, I hid in the bathroom for a while, and when I came back, I was caught by Chris.

Chris, at first glance, looks a little mean, with academic fanaticism and paranoia in his eyes, but a few heartfelt words made Wu Tao feel that this person is very affectionate and sexual, and he is a straightforward paranoid.

That's fine.

Wu Tao listened carefully to the other party's slightly accented English emphasis, most of which could still be understood, and with a kind of festivity.

Until Chris was talking, he suddenly cried out of shape, "Mr. Wu, it is difficult to make chips, it is difficult to sell chips, and it is even more difficult to license and promote chip IP, and it is too difficult for us to ARM......."

This...... What the hell?

Being told by such a chip boss who will ship billions of pieces in the future with a handful of snot and tears, Wu Tao suddenly had a kind of funny that couldn't help laughing.

If it weren't for the worry, such impoliteness would offend Chris's self-esteem, and Wu Tao would probably laugh on the spot.

Holding back the strength that he wanted to laugh, looking back, Wu Tao pondered it carefully, and immediately understood Chris's mood at this moment.

Indeed, as an omniscient bystander, it looks like ARM's success has come lightly.

However, in fact, every step of ARM from the establishment of a barn to the development and listing has been quite difficult.

At first, it was made of desktop-level chips, and as soon as it was listed, it was beaten by Intel in various ways, until the early 90s, when it had to change its door and launch the desktop PC market.

But at that time, the market outside of desktop PCs was uncertain.

ARM's group of founders can dive headlong into this blue ocean, can you imagine how much courage it takes?

Facts have proved that even an emerging market with a blue ocean is not a broad road to wind and rain.

And until now, Intel doesn't care about this market, which can be seen.

Therefore, in that case, the founding team of ARM also had to use IP licensing to lock in their own revenue, maintain the company first, and ensure its survival.

Later, the IP license was accepted by more and more companies, and ARM's revenue improved, and it was successfully listed, showing great potential and value.

Even so, in the eyes of Chris's group, there is still confusion.

After all, in this way of IP licensing, the revenue is too meager, especially when the market share is not high, and the asking price is not high in many cases.

It's normal to watch someone else suddenly come out with a popular chip, so as to eat and drink spicy food, while he only takes a meager buyout fee, and has doubts and confusion in his heart.

Subsequently, coupled with Apple's sudden sell-off and departure, the mentality of the founder's team became more and more volatile.

Until the Mitsui consortium threw an olive branch......

It is not easy to engage in basic research and development, especially this kind of basic products that are separated from the market by thousands of mountains and rivers!

Thinking of this, Wu Tao's heart suddenly flashed a trace of unbearability, he entered at this time, and he was indeed suspected of picking peaches.

Of course, if you can't bear it, you can't bear it.

Wu Tao stood up to the sky, pulled Chris to touch a glass, and said: I understand you.

Chris suddenly surged with a wave of excitement of 'death for those who regard it as a confidant', and Wu Tao was stunned for a moment before realizing that this guy might be wrong again.

In fact, it is normal to be wrong.

In Chris's view, with the takeover of the Mitsui consortium and the cooperation support of Yuanqi Technology, it is an excellent opportunity for ARM to take off.

They categorically would not have thought that the Huaxia Wu next to them had already seen the potential of the mobile chip market and was sure of their development and rise.

Actually, it's not just Chris who will be wrong.

Even Herman and the others, who gathered after hearing the sound, were extremely moved, and enthusiastically clinked glasses with Wu Tao to thank them, expressing their gratitude for being recognized and understood, over and over again.

It had been half an hour since Chris and the others had pulled out of the crowd again.

Liu Ruoxi suddenly appeared, gave him a glass of lemonade in time, and said with a sigh: "Boss, it's really not easy for you!"

Wu Tao was drinking lemonade, and he almost didn't squirt out when he heard this: Yes, I'm too difficult......

But why do you want to laugh so much?

However, this funny mood did not last long, and was broken by the elusive David.

"I can't see that the cunning Chinese people, as speculative capitalists, obviously took a big advantage by themselves, but let these technical paranoids be grateful to you. Such a clever means is really similar to the ancestors of our Rothzadrel family!"

Peers look at each other and hate each other.

Wu Tao was originally a little annoyed by this self-proclaimed descendant of the Rothszader family, but the other party had raised himself to the same height as the ancestors of the family, so he had to reluctantly admit it.

"It's an honor to receive your compliment, Mr. Rothzadel!"

David didn't understand the meaning of the words, and still gave him a thumbs up and said, "You deserve it, Wu, because we are the same kind of people." ”

Wu Tao had a smile on his face, and he felt a burst of MMP in his heart: Okay, since you are the same kind of person as your ancestors, it is naturally no problem to be the same kind of person as you.
