Chapter 125: Ruby Technology

……

The dinner prepared by Blair and Mary was sumptuous. After all, there are not many opportunities for a family to get together neatly like today, so everyone cherishes it.

Eating and chatting are essential topics, and because of Julia's presence, talking about Mata's troubles as a child has become a tacit topic for everyone.

And after eating almost, the theme of tonight also begins. With a cake on the table, candles on the table, and a 'happy birthday' blessing, Mary celebrated her 58th birthday.

After staying on the farm for one night, although Guo Shouyun wanted to enjoy a more leisurely life here, a phone call from Wendy forced him to abandon his original plan. He returned to San Francisco with Catherine, who had planned to leave the next day. As for Mata, he had to stay with Blair and Mary to discuss the date of the wedding and the location of the wedding. I even have to visit my future father-in-law, who is so busy that I can't go with them.

After dropping Catherine off at Kwok's Commercial's office area, Kwok Shouyun drove to the Palo Otota campus. The headquarters of the newly established Ruby Technology Company are located here.

"Boss!"

When Guo Shouyun parked the car and walked into the company's office area, Wendy, who had been waiting here, hurriedly greeted him.

"Let's go, let's go to the office!"

After nodding, Guo Shouyun walked into Keith Lapos's office with Wendy.

“Boss！”

Seeing Guo Shouyun push the door in, Keith Lapos quickly stood up. The former executive vice president of PayPal has been transferred by Guo Shouyun since Eric Schmidt rejected his offer.

"Wendy, go get Cadiz!"

"Yes!"

After Wendy turned to go out, Guo Shouyun said a few words to Keith Lapos, and it didn't take long for Cadiz Bell, who was the chief technology officer of Ruby Technology, to walk in from outside the door in a hurry.

After beckoning and letting the two sit down opposite him, Guo Shouyun took a black chip the size of a finger belly from Cadiz Bell's hand and looked at it in his palm for a moment.

"This is the mobile phone system-on-chip that you developed?"

"Yes, Boss!" Cadiz Bell nodded, "This is a mobile phone system-on-chip integrated with our own CDMA technology and ARM's microarchitecture according to your requirements!"

"How's the performance?"

"90nm process, 32-bit ARM6 single-core microarchitecture, core frequency 150 MHz, baseband is our own CDMA!"

After listening to this data one by one, Guo Shouyun sighed in his heart. Compared with the dual-core, 22nm or 28nm process, integrated memory, GPU-on-chip system in later generations, the piece I am holding in my hand now is really primitive!

"What about the cost?"

"It depends on the market share of the chip!" Keith Lapos said, "Our chip is aimed at the international low-end market, according to the 8:20 pricing strategy." If we can sell 100,000 pieces, then we can keep the cost at $12 and sell it for $30. If we can sell 1 million pieces, we can keep the cost at $8 and sell it for $20. If you can sell 10 million pieces, you can control the cost at $6 and sell it for $15!"

"In addition, we don't need to pay Qualcomm the copyright fee for the CDMA baseband like other chip design companies, so the cost can be the same as that of large chip design companies with their own CPUs, or even lower. In addition, large companies are not very interested in the low-end market with low profits. As for small and medium-sized companies, our advantage in the CDMA baseband will turn into a cost advantage that crushes them. Therefore, although the function of our chips is not as good as that of chip giants such as Texas Instruments and Freescale, with the advantages of the baseband, we can also occupy a place in the mobile phone chip market, especially the less wealthy third world countries!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "Texas Instruments, Freescale, Nokia can guarantee that they get 20~30% of the profits in the chip industry, we don't want so much, as long as 10% is enough! In addition, I am here to assure you that I will not take even a cent of Ruby's profits in five years, and all the funds raised will be used for research and development and the company's expansion in the chip industry. ”

Feeling Guo Shouyun's ambition for the chip industry, Cadiz Bell and Keith Lapos's eyes lit up. They all have shares in Ruby Technology, if the company can develop better, then they will naturally get more benefits, of course, there is no reason not to be willing.

"Keith, you get ready, go to Huaxia in a week!"

"Huaxia?"

Among all the third world countries, China's economic development is the fastest. The demand for mobile phones from people who are fast and wealthy is increasing year after year, and this is a big market that we cannot give up. ”

"Yes!"

Guo Shouyun beckoned and asked Wendy to bring the documents he had prepared in advance.

"This is the information of two Huaxia mobile phone companies, and you will focus on them after you arrive in Huaxia. In addition, in addition to selling chips, we can also invest in them if they need capital. In short, do our best to provide convenience, and be sure to win their chip orders!" Guo Shouyun said solemnly.

After nodding earnestly, Keith took the papers, and on their covers each had two names that seemed a bit awkward to Keith Lapos: Bird and Xia Xin!

"Boss, in case they really need to invest...?" Now Ruby Technology relies on Guo Shouyun's $2 million monthly blood transfusion to operate normally, but there is no money to invest.

"You don't have to worry about this, if they really need to invest, I will be responsible!"

Bird and Xia Xin are both famous brands before the emergence of Chinese smart phones, especially the advertising slogan of 'Bird mobile phone, fighter in mobile phone' is resounding all over the country, even if Guo Shouyun still remembers it more than ten years later. Therefore, as long as you grasp the time, this investment will not only not lose, but will make a lot of money.

"Got it!"

"Cadiz, in the future, my monthly investment in Ruby Technology will be increased to $5 million, and your R&D department has two tasks. First, continue research on CPUs. Second, establish an LTE R&D department. In addition, if you think there is a suitable R&D institution focusing on CPU or LTE, you can also acquire it. As long as the merger and acquisition funds do not exceed 20 million, I can support it!" Guo Shouyun said.

"Thank you boss for your support to the R&D department, but is it appropriate for the R&D department to establish LTE communication standards?

Of course, Guo Shouyun knows that now the major communication giants in the United States are now conducting research and development in the field of IMAX communication standards, and even when Europe and China have come up with mature LTE standards, the United States imperialism forcibly used its hegemony to let ITU hold a special meeting to accept IMAX as the fourth 3G communication standard and allocate it to the global frequency.

However, it is a pity that IMAX technology has never been mature, the user experience is too poor, there is no signal for more than 400 meters, and the delay is more than 1000 milliseconds.

All of this makes IMAX definitely a standard big pit. Guo Shouyun doesn't want the company he has worked so hard to build end up ending up with Lucent, Alcatel, and Nortel.

"I'm not optimistic about IMAX technology!" After seeing that Cadiz Bell was about to refute, Guo Shouyun waved his hand to interrupt him, "Cadiz, I hope you can respect my decision this time!"

Gardis Bell, who saw this kind of solemnity and majesty on him for the first time, opened his mouth, but finally nodded.

"Boss, I respect your decision, but if the company suffers losses because of this decision in the future, I think this responsibility should be borne by you!" said Cadiz Bell with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Of course, I am the majority shareholder of the company!" Guo Shouyun affirmed.

“… Okay, that's all for this meeting. As I said, prepare y'all yourselves!"

After Cadiz Bell left, Guo Shouyun learned some details of the company's operation from Keith Lapos, and did not leave with Wendy until the afternoon.

"Boss, this is the investigation data from Huaxia, about Liu Zhixing!"

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Wendy pulled a document out of her briefcase and handed it over.

"It's not slow!"

After taking it and looking at it twice, Guo Shouyun's pupils shrank.

"I really didn't expect it!"
