The second day of the COMDEX exhibition was even more lively than the first day, and it was a Sunday, so the exhibition hall was crowded.

Hu Yiting didn't want to visit the exhibition, but the colleagues who visited the exhibition yesterday came back to take turns today, and there were a lot of people in the Chongguang booth, so there was no need for him to be stationed there. Besides, the comrades who were on duty with me yesterday were eager to do so, and they were looking forward to today's opportunity to visit the exhibition.

So Hu Yiting took the comrades who were on duty with him yesterday and went straight to the Las Vegas Convention Center early in the morning.

The Las Vegas Convention Center has a 30,000-square-meter exhibition area, and there are drinks and dining areas in the venue, where a Coke is $5 for $3 for a large glass, $5 for a hot dog burger and $10 for a beef burger.

Colleagues looked at the price so high, they were a little smacked, Hu Yiting smiled and took out the money to announce the treat, so everyone took a big glass of Coke, regardless of whether they had breakfast or not, at least took a hot dog burger, and walked around while eating, like a tourist group.

It is said that it is a big exhibition of computer equipment, but there are really a lot of manufacturers in this year, and all the well-known brands in the world have arrived, and even home appliance manufacturers have participated in the exhibition.

Japan's Sony, Panasonic, NEC, and Kyocera participated in the exhibition in a group, and a group of small Japanese manufacturers were connected to the booths. South Korea's Samsung and LG brought a group of younger brothers to set up a stage opposite the Japanese. Hundreds of unnamed manufacturers such as Siemens and Alcatel in Europe have a dazzling array of booths. In addition to the home of the United States, IBM, Apple, Intel, AMD, Cyrix, Quantum, Western Digital, and even Honeyvale and GE Electric all set up exhibitions with various computer-related IT or medical products.

Seeing the old models and products, enjoying their era infinitely, Hu Yiting immersed himself in the world of these 95 years of "latest products", feeling like a dream.

Hu Yiting led his colleagues to walk non-stop, shuttling through the booth and the flow of people, and soon the drinks and food in his hands were replaced by paper bags full of product information.

After shopping for more than an hour, Hu Yiting saw an acquaintance, and in the distance at ARM's booth, ARM's marketing manager Harold was casually chatting with two merchants.

Meeting acquaintances in another country made Hu Yiting have a warm smile on his face, so he took his colleagues over to say hello.

"Oh, hey, Hu!" After Harold saw Hu Yiting, he warmly opened his arms and hugged Hu Yiting.

"Long time no see, how's it going?"

"Great, how are you doing?"

Harold hastened to introduce Hu Yiting to his client, proudly claiming that this was ARM's Chinese customer who had purchased the ARM-V3 processor technology development license from ARM.

Hearing that Chinese companies have also set foot in the field of processor and instruction set development, the two foreign businessmen were quite surprised, and couldn't help but take a closer look at Hu Yiting.

Harold handed over the two clients to his subordinates, and instead eagerly struck up a conversation with Hu Yiting.

"Hu, we have received a post-licensing fee of $200,000 for the VCD decoding chip CMP1J1 you designed, you are really unbelievable, you can understand ARM technology so quickly, and also design a product, to be honest, this surprises me. ”

At present, the cooperation between Chongguang and ARM is in the honeymoon period, before Chongguang spent $300,000 to obtain the complete license of ARM-3 processor version and architecture from ARM, and also paid $150,000 to purchase development software and special tools, plus the VCD decoding chip CMP1J1 product design successfully paid an additional $200,000 post-licensing fee, ARM has earned a total of $650,000 from Chongguang, Chongguang has become ARM's largest customer in Chinese mainland!

Hu Yiting said with a smile: "At the end of the year, when our CMP1J1 sales report comes out, you will be even more surprised after receiving the chip royalty." ”

Harold opened his mouth in surprise and asked: "The sales are great, isn't it? We gave me a preliminary report before the newly established branch in Hong Kong, and you sent them a letter saying that it has been successfully taped out and placed an order of 2 million pieces on Tailian! The board of directors of ARM is very excited about this, and hopes to become a global strategic partner with you, and I am planning to visit you in China before Christmas with our chairman Mr. John Buchanan and CEO Mr. Simon Segas!"

"Oh, that's good news, we Chinese have an old saying that friends come from afar, and we are glad that ARM can pay attention to Chongguang and the Chinese market." We plan to complete the sale of 1 million VCD decoding chips by the end of the year, and according to our current shipping price of $75, ARM will be able to get $750,000 through 1% royalties! ”

Harold's eyes widened: "God bless you! Hu! Well done! You are our benchmark in the Chinese market, just like the scepter of the Chinese emperor, you can rest assured, ARM is currently formulating an Asia-Pacific plan, in addition to setting up a Hong Kong branch, we also intend to cooperate with you further." ”

"Oh? I'm very interested in it, but by the way, the Chinese emperor doesn't have a scepter, but the world. ”

"Okay, Chongguang is our ARM in China's world! Anyway, I can't disclose the specific details now, but we are old friends, and I personally admire your genius very much, so I can reveal some details to you in advance. ”

"It's an honor. ”

Harold smiled: "We plan to set up an office in Beidu so that we can respond quickly to your needs for Chongguang, and if the business can grow in the future, we are also considering setting up an R&D center in China to carry out some ...... Well...... For example, the localization of development tools and customized research and development for Chinese customers. ”

Hu Yiting smiled, and said that it is estimated that the biggest purpose of the establishment of this organization is market research, so as to grasp the real shipments of Chongguang to ensure that ARM's 1% royalty income will not be hacked.

Chongguang's operation has always been sunny and honest, and Hu Yiting does not care about ARM's motives.

"Very good, you are welcome to invest in China, and I also hope that ARM can make greater achievements in China. ”

Harold eagerly asked, "Hu, can you tell me why your design work is progressing so fast? You know, our engineers are very surprised by this, your system integration capabilities and R&D speed are simply faster than any European or American company in these years." ”

Hu Yiting smiled: "We have countless geniuses. Thinking of this sentence a bit perfunctory, Hu Yiting added: "In addition, the reason why we chose ARM is also because of the long-term pre-research of your company's technology in advance, so it will be so smooth." ”

"Haha, it turns out that you have been paying attention to our products for a long time, you are really a genius. ”

"Thank you. ”

"Do you have any new product plans for the future?"

"Of course, it is an extension of the original successful product line, and our next step is to develop a DVD decoding chip. ”

"DVD? Oh ......"

"What's wrong?" Hu Yiting asked.

Harold smiled awkwardly and said, "With the V3 processor, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to apply it to DVD decoding, right?"

"Yes, so we've also purchased some of the patents for the ARM-V4 processor that your company is working on, but it's still difficult, knowing that DVD decoding can require much more computation than VCDs. ”

What Hu Yiting didn't say was that he planned to take out part of the instruction set and IP core design that ARM later developed for the V4 processor in advance, so as to complete the ARM-V4 processor in Chongguang's hands, and by the way, use these patents to coerce ARM in turn, so as to achieve his plan step by step.

Harold said unnaturally, "Oh...... I wish you all success, and I assure you that V4 is constantly refining the design, maybe for a year...... Or two years later, his computing power won't disappoint you. ”
