Chapter 144: Dare to Bind the Dragon
In the next two days, the contract between Chongguang and Cyrix gradually took shape, and with the joint efforts of lawyers on both sides, the details of rights and responsibilities were also perfected one by one.
At the same time, Cyrix introduced his die-hard ally Taiwan VIA to Hu Yiting, and of course, Friedman's goal was to match the two families to cooperate on motherboard products equipped with Youying Overlord coprocessors.
When VIA first received Cyrix's request, President Chen Wenqi flew to the Northern Capital for consultations.
In the conference room of Cyrix Beidu Branch, after Friedman's introduction, after Chen Wenqi saw Hu Yiting, his first feeling was that the other party was too young!
Fortunately, Chen Wenqi did not judge people by their appearance, business is business after all.
"VIA will complete the integration of the Cyrix motherboard chipset with the Shadow Overlord coprocessor within one to two months after receiving the development materials for the Shadow Overlord chip, and launch the new motherboard. Chen Wenqi said calmly.
Hu Yiting was not satisfied with VIA's statement.
"We can complete the design in a week, and if VIA can work with the board, I think the new motherboard will be available in two weeks at the most. ”
Chen Wenqi looked at Friedman, and saw that he was silent, so he had to turn to Hu Yiting: "This is impossible, after all, this is a brand new chip, and it will take time to debug and design it to perfectly integrate with Cyrix's public chipset, and it is also necessary to consider compatibility with other X86 instruction set processors on the market." ”
Wu Shihuan couldn't help but finally spoke: "One week is enough, and the motherboard we imagined before was also made by us, but it only took two or three days, after all, Youying Overlord was designed from the beginning to assist the X86 architecture CPU to work." ”
Chen Wenqi was a little embarrassed by Wu Shihuan's words: "I'm sorry, I haven't seen the product, it's hard to make a conclusion, but it takes two days and two months, and what comes out is definitely different." ”
Wu Shihuan insisted: "The motherboard chipset of Cerix is highly compatible with Intel, almost identical, so there is no difficulty in design. We only need to modify the design of the motherboard we imagined a little and we can use it. ”
Friedman nodded when he heard this, obviously agreeing with Wu Shihuan's idea, and said to Chen Wenqi: "We must do our best to launch this new motherboard, which is related to the sales prospects of the Cyrix-6X86 processor that has just been launched." I don't want to delay for a minute!"
Faced with pressure from major customers and partners, Chen Wenqi compromised: "In this case, Chongguang immediately started designing, and we VIA also started designing immediately, and each launched a motherboard." Let the market decide the winner. ”
Hu Yiting was taken aback: "Mr. Chen, what do you mean is that VIA is willing to help Chongguang Company produce motherboards." ”
Chen Wenqi shrugged: "Who is it to help build or not, VIA's factory is willing to help all design companies with OEM." ”
Hu Yiting thought about it for a while, and was immediately relieved.
Later, VIA's own motherboards were handed over to Taiwanese electronics manufacturers such as Guanmeng, Gigabyte, and Elite, and gradually withdrew from the increasingly thin profit manufacturing field and focused on design. It's not unusual for them to be willing to help Chongguang with OEM motherboards. ”
"In this case, we will definitely come up with a design plan within three days. Hu Yiting said arrogantly.
Friedman asked, "As far as I know, I've patented the motherboard you designed for them, and I hope you'll take that into account in your design." ”
Hearing this, Hu Yiting and Wu Shihuan both laughed. Wu Shihuan said directly: "Although we gave the product patent of that motherboard to Changxiang, it is a matching design with Intel's motherboard chipset, which is different from the Cyrex motherboard chipset products we are going to design." ”
Hu Yiting said contemptuously: "It's not enough to worry about thinking about that product patent, there's nothing to worry about." ”
After speaking, Hu Yiting looked at Mr. Liu Gushu with some apologies, and saw that Mr. Liu looked as usual.
Friedman thought that this was indeed the case, and said with satisfaction: "Then please coordinate with VIA and hurry up to release the product, I hope that starting next month, every 6X86 chip can be placed on the same shelf as the new motherboard." At the same time, it is recommended to customers and sold with it.
In fact, Mr. Liu Gushu was sighing in his heart at the moment: "The imagination of his son as the chairman of the board of directors, with annual sales of more than 4 billion yuan, actually has no sense of existence in the mouth of the young Chongguang company! Their product patents are actually considered to be bypassed! It seems that in the personal computer industry. The latter holds the core intellectual property rights of chips, and belongs to the upstream enterprises in terms of patents, so they are stuck in the neck of the former. ”
……
As he was busy with the finishing touches of negotiations and the development of a new motherboard, Hu Yiting had no choice but to hand over the relocation of Chongguang Communication Company, which had just completed the acquisition, to his subordinates.
Wu Hengyuan, as the oldest engineer in the core R&D team of the original Changxiang program-controlled switch project, is now appointed by Hu Yiting as the president of Chongguang Communication.
In Hu Yiting's view, engineers over the age of 45 are no longer suitable to serve as front-line R&D charges. Instead, it is more suitable for development project management, or as a company operator. After all, age is not forgiving, the most energetic age has passed, and their experience and experience are the greatest wealth at this time.
At the same time, Hu Yiting appointed six vice presidents, including technical director, financial director, product development director, supply chain director, legal director, and sales director, and basically set up the management structure of Chongguang Communication in accordance with the model of Huachuang.
So the young Chongguang Communication, under the helm of these seven people, began to move to Hushan at a high speed in an orderly manner.
Because Changxiang sold the communication equipment business, he transferred all the management personnel back to the parent company to arrange for another job, which made the management of the new company vacuum, and made Hu Yiting's appointment unresistible.
The newly appointed presidents and vice presidents of the new Chongguang Communications Company, all of whom were front-line core employees, were delighted that their positions and powers had risen to a higher level, and at the same time, they also devoted all their energy to the construction of the new company and the restoration of normal operations.
The new president Wu Hengyuan is 45 years old this year, with a bachelor's degree from Beijing Post and Posts, and has joined Changxiang since 85 years, before being a communication engineer at the Beidu Research Institute of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, and has been engaged in the research and development of communication equipment for 20 years.
suddenly jumped from the core R&D position to become the president of the company, which made Wu Hengyuan feel a sense of rebirth.
These days, he has been busy, taking over all the work of the equipment transportation company that Wang Lili was responsible for contacting, and almost eating and living on the fifth floor of the microcomputer production factory on the ground of Haidian, and finally supported a pair of bloodshot eyes and sent out the last equipment.
"Lake Mountain...... We're coming!" Wu Hengyuan thought proudly. (To be continued.) )
