The matter of the patent alliance is not very urgent, and the matter of buying back the shares of the Android system company in Huawei's hands at a premium has also come to a conclusion quickly. Ren Zhengfei put forward a new request to take a stake in Spreadtrum Communications.

Zhou Shi had an embarrassed expression on his face, wanting to refuse, but he didn't want to refuse.

"What about your HiSilicon, will you continue to develop your own IC design, or do you just want to use Spreadtrum as a springboard?" said Zhou Shi

"We value Spreadtrum's patent reserves and R&D capabilities, and there is no more powerful semiconductor chip design company in China than yours. "Ren Zhengfei

"I may have to say sorry to you, the value of Spreadtrum is not reflected at the moment, I have a long-term plan for him, and there is no way to retain any profits in the short term. And the Spreadtrum I want is not necessarily what you want. "Zhou Shi

"I've always heard that Mr. Zhou has a long-term vision and is good at layout! Can you tell me about your plan for Spreadtrum? Is this a secret?" Ren Zhengfei

"I'm sure you're not going to spread it everywhere, and it's hard to keep it a secret as long as we actually implement it, but when this news gets out, it's likely to cause unnecessary trouble before we have a plan to implement it. Zhou Shi said a few words and continued, "Now Spreadtrum's capabilities are mainly focused on mobile phone CPUs and GPUs based on ARM architecture, and of course, our communication baseband technology is second only to Qualcomm. CPU in the field of mobile communication and multimedia (flat panel, TV) is our focus now and our most important source of profit. Other embedded smart devices, including IFI routers, electronic boxes, etc., are our direction. These are nothing, the technical difficulty is not great, and our future focus is on developing the two major fields of artificial intelligence and (new energy batteries, unmanned driving, etc.) automotive chips. "Zhou Shi

"I can understand cars, but what about artificial intelligence?" said Ren Zhengfei

"In fact, it is a little earlier to say artificial intelligence, and it may be more appropriate to use machine deep learning, of course, it doesn't matter how you describe it, what matters is what it can do. In our practice, it mainly has three areas: autonomous driving, smart life and smart medical ......" Speaking of this, Zhou Shi let go of his imagination and made up nonsense. A car without a steering wheel, a car that can be used anytime, anywhere, barrier-free communication, and various conveniences in life. There is also a reduction in various medical diagnostic errors......

"Mr. Zhou, are you sure you're not fantasizing?" someone at Huawei couldn't sit still.

Zhou Shi glanced at it disdainfully, although Huawei has strong technical strength, but its pioneering ability is insufficient, and they may be able to make innovations on the road taken by others and surpass others. However, it does not yet have the ability or system to become the world's leader in science and technology. Most domestic companies do not have much room for trial and error, and various KPI assessments and the like are exhausting. And from the history of nearly ten years this year, it can be seen that most of the success of domestic start-ups is due to the change of business model, rather than the improvement of technology (Cambrian and other AI chip companies are exceptions). The whole country is in awe of the lack of a cult of technological heroes, and business heroes are idols for almost everyone. So that laughing at poverty is not laughing at prosperity, and making a fortune is the only criterion for success.

"Felix! help me call, help me call Mr. Ren's phone. Zhou Shi took out his Guoke mobile phone and opened the intelligent voice assistant developed by Time Company. Ren Zhengfei's mobile phone rang quickly.

"Felix, help me text Mr. Ren and have dinner together tonight!" Zhou Shi continued to demonstrate.

"Felix, I want to listen to Zhou Jie's blue and white porcelain ......"

Huawei and his party were stunned, Zhou Shi's coquettish operation obviously had a great impact on them. Huawei, which has been catching up with outstanding companies in Europe and the United States, has always thought that it is the most advanced technology company in China, but he didn't expect Zhou Shi to hit them hard.

"Mr. Zhou, this is ......" Ren Zhengfei

"This is our first version of the artificial intelligence voice assistant, called Felix!" Zhou Shi didn't want to complain about the name, it was too unqualified, and there was no Chinese name yet. "It's just a preliminary version, it's not perfect, and there's a lot to be improved. ”

"I didn't expect you to come to the forefront of domestic enterprises...... Ren Zhengfei, who has always been proud, was a little excited at this time, geniuses are really different from ordinary people. He used decades of struggle, but it couldn't compare to Zhou Shi's efforts for several years.

"So, Spreadtrum may face long-term losses, but his value is difficult for me to estimate, it may be valuable, it may be worthless. "Zhou Shi

"But now I want to invest in Spreadtrum even more, and I have always insisted on future-oriented technology companies that take the technology route. "Ren Zhengfei

"Why embarrass me?" Zhou Shi

"Why don't you want me to share some of your responsibilities? "Ren Zhengfei

"I've set up so many businesses, and every time I find the right person first, if there is no such person, I would rather not set up this business. Again, if I don't have the right partner, I'd rather go it alone. "Zhou Shi

"I asked HiSilicon to merge into Spreadtrum, and Huawei's subsidiaries will give priority to purchasing Spreadtrum's chip products under the same conditions or even if there is no big gap. At the same time, we will not compete with Spreadtrum within ten years! If Spreadtrum insists on investing in technology, we will not interfere with the normal operation of the company......" Ren Zhengfei showed his atmosphere at a critical moment.

"Mr. Ren is very sincere, I can't think of a reason to refuse!" Zhou Shi

"In that case, we have a good cooperation!" Ren Zhengfei

"Happy cooperation!" Zhou Shi

The two roughly discussed the intention of cooperation, and the specific details were handed over to the company's executives. Ren Zhengfei began to understand the technical details of Felix in detail and experienced the human-computer interaction of Felix. Only then did we know that the practical use of artificial intelligence still has a long way to go. Zhou Shi showed laboratory products, which were specially debugged by the people of Time Laboratory. That's where the near-perfect demo came in.

After a few people finished dinner together to make up for the previous rift, Zhou Shi naturally forgave them. In any case, Huawei is a benchmark for domestic enterprises, a representative of reform and opening up, a model for self-reliant development of science and technology, and a long-term pride of domestic technology enterprises.

However, when he returned home, Zhou Shi found that something was wrong, he and Ren Zhengfei reached a preliminary cooperation agreement, but he did not communicate with the person in charge of Spreadtrum, which is really irrational.

"Why didn't you remind me?" Zhou Shi blamed Chen Wen

"I, I don't think it's okay, it's your right!"

"Don't be arrogant, I'm not the direct person in charge of Spreadtrum or their direct supervisor, and it's disrespectful to them. "Zhou Shi

"I know, I won't ...... like this next time" Chen Wen

"This is my problem, I have some achievements and I started to float again, and I made a decision before I knew the specific situation......" Zhou Shi

"I think they'll understand your ......," Chen Wen
