Chapter 142 Patent Attorneys Suppress the Formation

Northern Capital,

16th Floor, Block A, Henderson Center,

Hu Yiting and others walked in the luxurious office building, and his confident smile was reflected on the shiny marble floor and marble wall. `

"Cyrix finally couldn't help it?" As soon as Hu Yiting thought of this, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled upwards in a subtle arc.

In Wang Lili's absence, Hu Yiting brought Wu Shihuan as his deputy, and at the same time spent a lot of money to hire Mr. Liu Gushu, the father of Liu Chengzhi, chairman of Changxiang Group, as legal counsel.

Mr. Liu Gushu is a pioneer of intellectual property in China, having worked in this field for more than 40 years, and is the founder and president of the All-China Intellectual Property Attorneys Association.

After retiring from China Patent (Hong Kong) Company, Mr. Liu Gushu founded Beidu Liu Shen Intellectual Property Law Firm in 93, which is the absolute authority in China in terms of intellectual property law.

In order to hold back the position, Hu Yiting hired Liu Shen Intellectual Property Law Firm as the law firm of Chongguang Company with an annual agency fee of 120,000 yuan, and hired Mr. Liu Gushu as the patent lawyer for this negotiation with a remuneration of 100,000 yuan.

This price was very expensive in '95, but it was not worth mentioning in later generations. Hu Yiting knows that 2o15 is a well-known domestic commercial lawyer, but whenever he handles a cross-border trade lawsuit, the fees are one or two million. As the country attaches more and more importance to intellectual property rights, lawyers in this profession will become more and more popular.

After Wu Shihuan came back from a business trip to Taiwan, his temperament was changing, becoming more outgoing and more mature.

Since he came back, the brothers and sisters in the computing institute often surrounded him and asked him to talk about what he had seen and heard in Taiwan, which made him feel very good, and he was more determined to stay in Chongguang Company and start a business with his brothers and sisters.

Step into Cyrix's modern meeting room. Hu Yiting, Wu Shihuan, Liu Gushu and the two young lawyers brought by Mr. Liu Gushu shook hands with Friedman and others who stood up to greet them.

Hu Yiting sat down in disgrace, smiling and facing Friedman, the global president of CYRIX, on the other side of the long table?.?? `c?o?m

And Wu Shihuan couldn't suppress the trembling of his body after walking into the Henderson Center, and he still felt that his body was still throbbing slightly after sitting down. He couldn't control his excitement a little, licked his lips and looked at Hu Yiting beside him.

I saw Hu Yiting smiling like a spring breeze, and kept joking and greeting Malmö, Tariq and others I saw last time, and introduced to Mr. Liu Gushu how luxurious Malmö's office was, and also made a joke about Malmö's glamorous female secretary with great interest.

Wu Shihuan's heart once again swelled up with admiration for this little senior brother.

"How did he manage to be so calm and peaceful? Or is he naturally empathetic and unfazed? Genius is really different from ordinary people like me, even if he is only 16 years old, he is also a role model for me in life. ”

Wu Shihuan tried to restrain his excitement, took a deep breath, and nodded and smiled at everyone like Hu Yiting.

What Wu Shihuan didn't know was how many joys, disappointments, ups and downs, and vicissitudes Hu Yiting had experienced before he could be so unfazed, pampered and forgotten, where did he learn it for a while.

Mr. Liu Gushu was also surprised by Hu Yiting's cousin, Chongguang Company's entrustment was just handed over to the firm by his son Liu Chengzhi the day before yesterday, and the annual fee of 120,000 top VIP customers every year was paid off. He also bid 10,000 yuan separately to hire himself as a full-time consultant, and promised to entrust him to help them set up a special team of patent attorneys in the future.

Son Liu Chengzhi meant: "This kid is a little expert in making money, even if you take the money he gave, just go and support him when the time comes." ”

In the past two days, he took his students to look through all the patents of Chongguang Company overnight and set up a special research group.

When I met with Hu Yiting yesterday, Mr. Liu felt that this young man was simply mature. He is truly a genius who solves world-class mathematical conjectures, and his mannerisms, especially his maturity, are completely at the level of adults?.?? `c?o?m

Participating in this negotiation today, Mr. Liu was also very satisfied with Hu Yiting's lively conversation and laughter. The fact that one's own client is able to be neither humble nor arrogant in front of the global president of such a multinational company is undoubtedly a good start to the negotiation.

Friedman was also surprised by Hu Yiting's appearance. According to an investigation conducted by the Chinese branch, he had learned in advance that he was facing a 16-year-old genius, a prodigy who was touted in Chinese newspapers as solving the Poincaré conjecture in three days, and who was said to be the real boss behind the company.

"Hu ~ one ~ pavilion ~ first ~ sheng ~. Friedman tried to call out Hu Yiting's name in Chinese. Although the tone was awkward and funny, it attracted applause from the audience.

“u-g1ish。 (You can speak English). Hu Yiting said in English, and at the same time stretched out his hands and gestured to both sides, which means that the people we came to negotiate today are all English.

Friedman was pleased to be able to put the translation aside, and the negotiations proceeded in a straightforward manner, in the American way.

"$5ooo for the acquisition of the entire Chongguang company, including all your patents and products. ”

Hu Yiting didn't want to think about it: "I refuse, it's not for sale." ”

When Wu Shihuan heard the offer of 5ooo US dollars, he almost fainted, and then heard Hu Yiting's refusal, and felt as if he was on a roller coaster, rolling up and down, and wanted to completely stun himself.

"5ooo million dollars! It is equal to more than 400 million yuan! My God! It's enough to build a modern wafer factory! Youying Overlord chip technology is worth so much? Hu Yiting refused! My God! Does he know how much it is? In exchange for 10,000 stacks of 100 yuan bricks, that's 40,000 yuan, enough to fill a small storeroom!"

Liu Gushu was also stunned, he thought that Hu Yiting entrusted his son to give him a negotiation agency fee of 100,000 yuan, for the sake of his son is the chairman of Changxiang Group, and he wanted to curry favor, but he didn't expect that this transaction was really worth hundreds of millions! And Hu Yiting's refusal surprised him even more, which means that the valuation of Chongguang Company may be much higher than 400 million yuan!

Friedman hesitated: "If it's a matter of price, it's still negotiable." ”

Hu Yiting shook his head: "Let's talk about patents, the company is not for sale." I don't want to go into any more discussion on that. ”

Friedman nodded, probably in his heart, and directly quoted: "After careful consideration, Mr. Adam Cohen, the chairman of Cyrix, has decided to pay $350,000 to acquire your company's Youying Overlord chip patent and all 89 international patents related to it. ”

Hu Yiting said again without thinking: "According to my judgment." The life cycle of this patent is about 1o years or more, and it can generate a profit of 15 to 2o billion US dollars, 350 million

The dollar is not enough for the bank interest on these profits, I refuse. ”

Friedman was a little angry, and said in his heart: "The company doesn't sell, the patent doesn't sell, then you still talk to me about a fart! Ah! No! It's Lao Tzu who is still talking to you!"

"Okay. Hu Yiting, calm down, and then tell me what you think. Friedman took a deep breath, wanting to know what Hu Yiting was thinking, and at the same time warned himself not to rush.

All 89 core patents involved in the Youying Overlord chip are packaged, with a license fee of 5oo US dollars, and a patent fee equivalent to 25% of the selling price is charged for each chip that uses the patent. ”

Friedman finally understood the profit model that Chongguang wanted.

"No, no, no, the 25% commission is too much, and it's an unreasonable request. ”

"No, no, no, it's not too much, the price of your chips is much worse than Intel's. The price of the 6x86 chip with the same main frequency is less than half of the price of the other party's Besturn chip, and we are talking about the price difference of more than 200 US dollars!"

This is a historic concession that Cyrix has previously only offered to IBM. ”

But IBM didn't help Cyrix beat Intel. ”

"You can't guarantee that your patents will help us beat Intel. ”

"You know we can! Otherwise, you wouldn't have flown in from the United States and sat in front of me. ”

"12 percent, that's the biggest concession. ”

"I hate single digits, and I refuse to discuss any changes in single digits!"

"You're too arrogant, Hu Yiting!"

"That's because you're putting your self-judgment above technology, and in the IC world, no one has the right to say that technology is arrogant. ”

"I don't know you're still interested in philosophy, 15%! I'll sign the contract now. ”

"2o%! That's my bottom line. I said I don't like to talk about single digits! I don't want to waste everyone's time! yes or no, if you say no, I'm going to walk out of this room right now and sign a contract with AMD right away!"

Damn. You're looking for amd?!" Friedman said, glaring viciously at Tariq and Malmo beside him.

"They expressed their willingness to accept the offer, but it will take time. Hu Yiting began to talk nonsense.

"Reject them! I'll sign up with you!2o%!"

"You're a smart guy. ”

"But you can't license any third parties anymore! And once our new chips hit the market, you can't sell your coprocessors to the market. ”

"It can't be. ”

"You're saying you're going to sell the license to AMD or Intel?!

"I can give you an exclusive period of 6 months. ”

"Six months is too little! at least three years!"

"It's only six months, because I'm not sure if Intel will suddenly develop a similar instruction set and sell it to AMD through guò cross-licensing. And to be honest, I'm worried that Cyrix's new chips will sell too little, which will also affect our profits. ”

"Two years!"

Friedman knew that, according to Moore's Law, the number of components that could fit on an integrated circuit would double every 18-24 months, and the performance would also double, and perhaps at that point, Chongguang's patents would be replaced by other technologies. (To be continued.) )
