Chapter 105: A Group of Six
When people think of business cooperation, the first thing they think of is integrity, common interests, and scam prevention, which are important, but the highest principle of business cooperation is to improve each other's chances of survival.
Without Hu Yiting's patent, imagining to enter the field of 3D graphics cards is a death, without the support of Changxiang's product line, Hu Yiting will waste valuable time in the graphics card market, and time is life.
Since we are talking about cooperation, of course Hu Yiting wants the lion to open his mouth.
After calling Wang Lili into the director's office, Hu Yiting opened his mouth and proposed that he must pay the foundry fee for Chongguang Company, because the lack of foreign exchange is the dead knot of domestic companies in these years.
Hu Yiting got straight to the point and said: "I don't have US dollars, and even if I mortgage the patent fees I receive every year THT1062 to the bank, it is almost impossible to get a US dollar loan." β
Liu nodded: "I imagine that I was listed in Hong Kong last year, and the foreign exchange in my hand is not a problem, although most of them are remitted to China for investment, but one or two million US dollars is not a problem." β
Hu Yiting couldn't help but slander, and said in his heart that a lot of the money was invested in real estate, which was purely a waste of foreign exchange.
"The company can provide product design for free for Changxiang, and only charge the fee for chip sales at the exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar. Changxiang is responsible for providing supply guarantee for Chongguang's chips. β
"Are you saying that after the chip is produced, it will have to go through it again from your Chongguang company?"
"Theoretically, it has to be like this, and in the form it can be delivered directly to the factory of the imagination and put into production immediately. β
"How much are you going to sell each chip?"
"$50. β
"Impossible!"
"Minimum 45. β
"Hu Yiting, you're kidding! Even if it is taped out in Tsinghua's real yΓ n room, the cost is only less than two hundred yuan!"
"But Tsinghua has no production guarantee, and the packaging technology is also backward, so you can't use simple packaging, right?"
"If you place a large order for this chip in large quantities, I estimate that it will be 5 or 6 US dollars a piece!"
"Yes, but the R&D cost is very expensive, and the foreign research and development of such a chip requires an investment of three or five million US dollars, a two- or three-year R&D cycle. β
Liu Suo was angry: "You can't talk about it like this! You've only been developing it for a few days? I'm looking at it! A week, right? It's a week, right? How do you compare what you make in a week with millions of dollars invested by others?"
Hu Yiting shook his finger at Liu Suo: "NO!NO!NO! Liu Suo, you look down on me again! You are an insult to my genius! For example, no one has solved the PoincarΓ© conjecture for a hundred years, but I solved it in three days, do you want to say that the PoincarΓ© conjecture is just a problem that can be solved in three days?"
Liu Suo frowned and said: "I know you are amazing, genius! But your price is too expensive, for example, I use the S3 image chip of the Imperial League, but it is only 15 US dollars a piece, and the price can be negotiated if the quantity is large, you are three times more than others!"
"S3 is a ball? The S3 low-end graphics card assembled in Taiwan and Hong Kong is only sold for five or six hundred yuan in Zhongguancun now, which is a big road product with millions of sales in the world, can it be compared with my new product?"
An S3 chip with your coprocessor chip costs $60, plus domestically produced PCB boards and other electronic parts, plus labor costs, the cost is close to $65!"
"You sell it for $75 a piece, it's an absolute bestseller, and if it doesn't sell well, I'll lower the price for you." The performance on the domestic market is not as good as our graphics card, such as trident8900, which is still sold for 12300 yuan. β
"But people don't need to use CPUs for auxiliary calculations! Besides, if I can't sell them, things will be smashed in my hands!"
"If you can't sell it, I'll take it all according to the cost! Besides, do you think it's possible? If it weren't for this powerful performance, you wouldn't be willing to produce it! In '94, the global PC sales exceeded 48 million units, and you actually told me that you were afraid that such a good product would not sell!?"
"Where did you get the money to eat it all?"
"Don't worry, when the time comes, I will stake THT1062 patents to the bank, and eat your little inventory, how much inventory can you have in the end? 1,000 sheets, 3,000 sheets, 5,000 sheets, even if it is 10,000 sheets, that is, 650,000 US dollars, my annual patent fee will be 10 million yuan!"
Liu Suo took a deep breath, thought about it for a while, and said, "Then if I help you place an order for 100,000 pieces first, when will you pay Changxiang?"
Hu Yiting said: "Wang Lili will be responsible for this part of the contract, you find the foundry, negotiate and pay the US dollars, and we will pay the RMB when we see the contract." β
Liu Chengzhi has already approved this plan in his heart, but he has not yet expressed his position.
He is indeed very eager to launch a Chinese fist product in his hands.
In these years, the home computer market was completely occupied by foreign goods, and all kinds of computer accessories in Zhongguancun were all foreign brands except for Hanka. The reason is very simple, the chips on it are all foreign goods, if there can be a core chip designed by China, and then the graphics card manufactured by Chinese enterprises comes out, and the performance is excellent, it is undoubtedly a big satellite, and has made a major breakthrough in the independent innovation of home computer products! I will undoubtedly have a great face in front of the superior leaders in the future, and it will be of great help to the brand building and even market sales of imagination.
He finally couldn't help it and gave up his reserve: "Cheng, that's it, you quickly organize the team, build the graphics card, and debug it to the best possible, in addition, the driver is very important, you must ensure compatibility and high performance." β
Speaking of this, Liu Chengzhi thought about it and added: "The patent for this graphics card must be imaginary!"
Hu Yiting didn't care about this kind of non-core product patent at all, and agreed: "Okay!"
Leaving the director's office, Hu Yiting and Wang Lili decided to open the first domestic branch of Chongguang Company in Beidu in the dormitory arranged for him by the computing institute.
Hu Yiting invited Wu Shihuan, Jiang Yunshun, Cao Yunuan, Li Xiuming, Huang Haishi, and Peng Bin to dinner that night.
Hu Yiting chose a restaurant of no low grade next to the computing office, and talked about it with six people in an air-conditioned private room.
Cao Yunuan responded first: "My level is not high, but I support Hu Yiting, in short, if there is anything I need to do, just ask." β
Wu Shihuan and Jiang Yunshun are the two most mature of the six, they are both doctoral students, and they will complete the doctoral dissertation defense this year, and they are about to face an important choice in life, whether to stay and work or go out to find a job, or simply submit their resumes to foreign scientific research institutions and go abroad to find high-paying employment opportunities.
Wu Shihuan said: "Before the end of the year, Yunshun and I will defend our thesis, and the topics we chose this time are all related to multimedia instruction sets.
Hu Yiting, although you are younger than us, we really admire you, and you are a person who is really capable! Especially this time, you proved the PoincarΓ© conjecture in three days, and we were even more convinced! I don't know about the others here, but I am willing to help you work for two years, and even if I can't do it, I can find another job. β
Jiang Yunshun picked up the beer glass and said to Hu Yiting: "Hu Yiting, let me tell you the truth, my family conditions are relatively difficult, my younger brothers and sisters are studying, and they all rely on my scholarship and graduate school subsidies to maintain their studies, and I must find a stable job." Everyone knows this, and I have nothing to hide. β
After speaking, he raised his voice and said: "But before the dissertation defense at the end of the year, I will listen to you, if you have a project, just bring it, I will help you do it with everyone, no pay." β
After speaking, Jiang Yunshun drank the beer down.
Li Xiuming, who usually doesn't like to talk much, said at this time: "Boss Wu and Boss Jiang have said so, and the four of us have nothing to say, but we are all master's students, and our level is limited, you can't compare with Hu Yiting, you are simply a god in my mind, and you are our idol, as long as you can help, you can mention it." β
Huang Haishi also said: "Actually, I know that Boss Wu has already obtained the engineer pass of the chip packaging factory that Lucent is about to invest in Qingdao, and the high-paying position of a foreign company is in front of him." Boss Wu can give up his high salary and work with Hu Yiting, so what else do we have to say, don't want money and don't die, follow it!"
Peng Bin also raised his glass: "Don't say anything, I listen to Boss Wu and Boss Jiang, and let me do whatever I want." β
Hu Yiting was moved in his heart and warned himself that he must be worthy of these simple younger brothers and sisters.
He raised his glass and said: "I, Hu Yiting, thank you! I don't play false, and I won't let everyone pay in vain, from now on, everyone is counted as an employee of my Chongguang company, 4000 monthly salary for doctoral students, 3000 for master's students, and if you officially join the company in the future, the salary will be doubled." β
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the private room, and Wang Lili was shocked, saying that this was more than double her salary! Hu Yiting really values talents!
