Wang Lili didn't ask Hu Yiting how to create the best company in the world, she just laughed.

"I don't dare dream that big, but you're right, my dreams are too small. ”

Wang Lili said this, paused, and looked out of the dormitory window wistfully: "Maybe with you, I can see more wonderful worlds." Hu Yiting, Sister Wang is still the same as she said at the beginning, I will follow you in this life. ”

Hu Yiting encouraged her: "Sister Wang, I like the role you play in Chongguang Company, you are like an inspector, patiently arranging every job, ensuring that the company's processes are in line with the norms, and the work procedures are logical, just like the typesetting work you used to do in the daily newspaper, always trying to make all the business in an orderly manner within the framework." You are a conservative and rational woman, a natural supervisor and executor, I never expect you to have any creativity and innovation, but your extremely conscientious and highly pragmatic style is indispensable for every good company, and is the most reliable backbone of the management to carry out practical affairs. ”

Wang Lili chuckled: "You praise your sister Wang too much, but I love to hear it." You're right, I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive and always want things to follow a pre-designed process and be in order. ”

Hu Yiting said with a smile: "The company needs talents like you, otherwise a shopkeeper like me will not make a mess of the company." ”

Wang Lili smiled: "I said, you are the company's engine and steering wheel, is the guarantee of success, as for me, I know how many pounds and taels I have, as long as I try to help you run the company smoothly and smoothly, I will be satisfied." ”

After speaking, Wang Lili and Hu Yiting looked at each other and smiled, and once again reached a high degree of tacit understanding.

……

The next day, Hu Yiting formally interviewed Ms. Wu Tong, chief representative of Intel's Beidu office and general manager of the China branch.

Ms. Wu Tong graduated from Fudan University in her early years, studied surface physics, was selected by the school to study for a doctorate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 85, joined Intel three years later, and was just appointed as the president of China last year.

"Hello Hu Yiting! It's a pleasure to meet you! I've been thundering for a long time. After meeting Hu Yiting in the company's conference room, Wu Tong seemed very enthusiastic.

Hu Yiting said coldly: "At present, the headquarters of Chongguang Company is being renovated, and the employees are working in the rented office building, so we will use your company's conference room to negotiate." ”

Wu Tong was stunned. From the other party's realistic and straightforward language logic, I intuitively felt that Hu Yiting was a difficult person. According to the information collected by Chongguang Company before, Hu Yiting is undoubtedly the biggest scientist in this company, and his mathematical attainments are particularly amazing, and he actually solved the Poincaré conjecture, a century-old problem in the world mathematics community. Although the world's mathematical community is still studying his paper, according to the information that Wu Tong has obtained, this person is very likely to win the Fields Medal, the highest award in the international mathematical community that is awarded every four years.

Wu Tong nodded: "I have already conveyed Intel's acquisition intention of Chongguang Semiconductor to President Wang Lili of your company, but I heard that you are the real boss of this company." Speaking of this, Wu Tong looked at Wang Lili: "Mr. Wang, you don't mind if I say this, right?"

"Of course not. Wang Lili said.

Wu Tong continued: "Mr. Hu. Thank you for joining us today, I feel honored to have you in Intel China. ”

"What do you think about our previous acquisition intentions?"

"We do not agree to the acquisition. Hu Yiting said with a cold face.

When Wu Tong heard this, he sat there in amazement, and said for a long time: "Is it because of the price?"

Hu Yiting said: "Chongguang Company is a company founded by me, and it entrusts all my dreams, which is not for sale. ”

Wu Tong's brows couldn't help frowning, and he thought for half a minute before he said slowly: "Then the purpose of your coming today?"

Hu Yiting said: "I hope to get the authorization of Intel's X86 architecture instruction set, so that Chongguang can design and sell its own brand processors based on the X86 architecture instruction set. ”

"What?" Wu Tong couldn't believe his ears.

"I think you've heard it pretty well. I don't need to repeat it. ”

"It can't be. Wu Tong flatly refused.

"If you can license to Cyrix, AMD, Nexgen, IDT, RISE, and other American companies, why can't you license them to Chongguang? We are willing to give money, or exchange technology, I mean the patented multimedia instruction set technology of the Youying Overlord coprocessor. ”

Wu Tong heard the last sentence. Lift your spirits.

After all, the most important thing for the U.S. parent company is the multimedia instruction set patent of the Youying Overlord coprocessor, and for these patents, it even does not hesitate to use more than 100 million US dollars to acquire this almost unknown company, even if the investigation finds that this company is almost a grass team, and the mastermind behind it is very likely to be the Institute of Computing Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but the U.S. head office still makes up its mind. If you want to buy the patent in the other party's hand, even if the company you get is an empty shell, you will not hesitate to do so.

And the bottom line of the U.S. headquarters is that once the other party's offer is higher than $100 million, don't refuse, but hand it over to the parent company to be responsible for follow-up negotiations. It can be seen that the headquarters attaches great importance to this transaction, and it is almost inevitable.

Wu Tong turned his head and whispered a few words to the technical director beside him.

Hu Yiting saw their solemn expressions, so he said: "I know that Intel's licenses to these companies are very cheap, and some of them are even free to use, can't Chongguang's patents worth more than 100 million dollars be exchanged for the authorization of the X86 instruction set?"

After discussing with the technical director, Wu Tong said: "I have not been authorized by the head office, and it is impossible for me to agree to your request in this regard, which is beyond the scope of my authority, and I must ask the US side for instructions." ”

She added: "But Mr. Hu, I can tell you that the company has decided not to license the processor technology of the X86 instruction set architecture to any company as early as 91. This is a basic principle that President Andy Grove has set when he takes office, and I don't think anything will change. ”

Wu Tong stared at Hu Yiting's eyes and continued: "Besides, before 94, there was the Paris Coordinating Committee, and after 94, there was the Wassenaar Agreement, and both organizations stipulated export restrictions on sensitive products and technologies.

As far as I know, X86 ISA processor technology is undoubtedly limited and can only be licensed between member states within the Wassenaar Agreement.

In addition, these processor technology patents are also subject to U.S. technology export controls to China, according to the "Export Administration Act" enacted by Congress and the "Export Administration Regulations" enacted by the U.S. Department of Commerce, processor technology is highly classified related to national security, and may be used for military purposes, so the U.S. ******, the Department of Defense, and the National Security Council are unlikely to agree to this technology authorization.

To sum up, I think that Mr. Hu, your request is unrealistic, and even if President Andy Grove agrees, it is impossible for this authorization to be approved in the above three institutions that I have mentioned. ”

Hu Yiting sighed secretly, and said that this was indeed the case, but he still did not give up hope: "But I only need authorization, and I don't need technology transfer, that is, I only need a legal license."

You must know that patents are not restricted in the military, and any country can copy any foreign technology without being bound by patent law, as long as it is not used for civilian use, because according to international law, national security is higher than a qiē. ”

Wu Tong shook his head: "I understand what you mean, but it's still impossible." Patents for high-end semiconductor technology are related to the national strategic interests of the United States, and whether it is technology transfer or mere patent authorization, it is a major matter related to the national strategic interests of the United States. ”

Hu Yiting shook his head: "What you said is too absolute, how can you know if you don't try everything, after all, this is just an authorization." You must know that as early as 1979, China successfully copied Intel's 8080 microprocessor, that is to say, we have already broken through the constraints of related technologies, we do not need the United States to give us handout technology, what we propose is a fair exchange of technology, and it is a transaction that is greatly beneficial to Intel Corporation, we use real technology, in exchange for a technology license, this is not for your company, isn't it to make money with closed eyes?"

Although Wu Tong felt that Hu Yiting's idea was a bit fantastical, he couldn't point out any fallacies in his logic.

"Yes, the other party just needs a patent license, not a transfer of technology, isn't this a good deal?"

"You really don't expect technology transfer? You just need a patent grant? Mr. Hu, let me remind you that you can't bypass a tight and thick legal contract by being smart. ”

Hu Yiting spread his hands: "What do you want me to say? We Chongguang Semiconductor want to design and produce home computer processors based on the X86 architecture, but we don't want the product to be sued by Intel for infringement, this matter is as simple as that." ”

Wu Tong nodded slightly: "Okay, I will immediately report your request to the US headquarters, but as a Chinese, I still have to pour some cold water on you, this matter will not succeed." ”

Hu Yiting said: "Thank you, please reply to me as soon as possible." ”

Wu Tong smiled helplessly: "Don't you really think about acquiring it? This is more than 100 million US dollars, and if you change other domestic companies, I'm afraid that if you cry and shout for Intel to buy it, Intel won't even look down on it." ”

Hu Yiting smiled: "You don't know me, let alone Chongguang Semiconductor, so I forgive your self-righteousness." ”

A thought came to Wu Tong's heart: "Arrogant...... This madman...... It's true that genius brains tend to make people insanely arrogant. (To be continued.) )
