As the saying goes, only when you ask for someone do you know how hard it is to ask for someone.

In the high-tech industry, once you have a technical demand, you know what helplessness is.

Tariq was shocked by Hu Yiting's categorical tone, but he couldn't tear his face and quarrel.

The arrogance of the other party who said he would leave and his empty eyes were clearly the style of those patent trolls in Silicon Valley!

Tariq shook his head as far as he could: "Of course your skills are excellent! But 30% is too much for royalties!

Hu Yiting smiled confidently, he didn't think that the 30% charge was too much.

In a few years, the domestic GS//M mobile phone will come out, and more than 20% of the price is a patent fee.

Like Qualcomm in later generations, selling chips does not count, but also charges royalties equivalent to 4%-6% of the total price of the mobile phone for each mobile phone that uses Qualcomm 3G chips. Aren't Chinese companies pinching their noses and admitting it?

"If you don't buy patent licensing, then you can buy our chips directly, and the effect is the same anyway. ”

Of course, Tariq knew that the effect was completely different, but obviously the other party's asking price was too high, and he had no authority to deal with it, so he had to report to the head office for decision.

"What if we want to license patents exclusively, and sell your chips exclusively!" Tariq gritted his teeth and continued.

Hu Yiting said: "This is impossible, if you can't guarantee the output, then the sales cycle of our products will be delayed by you." Unless you are able to order in large quantities and pay in advance. ”

The more Tariq thought about it, the more complicated it became, and he couldn't have decided without the authorization of the company's top management.

But Tariq was not willing to end the negotiations empty-handed.

"How many chips do you have for Lenovo? I hope you can transfer all of this to Cyrix. ”

"100,000 pieces, but the contract has been finalized, you want it, then you can only find Lenovo. ”

"How much stock do you have now?"

"I can have as much as you want. ”

Tariq couldn't help but say disdainfully: "You are a fabless-semiconductor!, of course, as many as you want!"

Hu Yiting was not annoyed at all: "Yes." We are a fabless semiconductor company, selling technology and standards. ”

Tariq frowned and said, "I can tell you, I'm very interested in your products right now! Your coprocessor with Cyrix's 6X86 directly surpasses the Intel Pentium processor with the same frequency!"

But. If you supply all processor vendors at the same time, or to the market without discrimination, it won't do us any good, because once you use your coprocessors, Intel's chips will still surpass other manufacturers in floating-point arithmetic. ”

Hu Yiting corrected him and said, "But the gap will be narrowed." Basically, the gap in computing power of the same frequency chip is only 10% to 15%. ”

Tariq shook his head: "Actually, what you said before was very right, in the world of processors, the strong take all." As long as there is a performance gap between us and the top companies, Cyrix will never be able to challenge Intel's supremacy. ”

Speaking of this, he said to Hu Yiting in a deep voice: "So we Cyrix need a processor that surpasses Intel, and this product must be exclusive, and I see hope in your products at present."

I'm going to make a proposal to the U.S. headquarters tonight and ask them to formally accept the highest level of face-to-face consultations with you, and I sincerely hope that. The two companies can be top core allies that go beyond ordinary partners.

I have only one request for you, and please refrain from any negotiations on technology transfer with other companies, I mean Intel and AMD, until Mr. Friedman, the global president of Cyrix, comes to the Northern Metropolis. ”

Hu Yiting didn't care about Tariq's anxiety and pleading: "I can't say for sure, I hope Mr. Friedman's plane won't be delayed, hahaha......"

Tariq smiled awkwardly, but he was scolding in his heart: "You son of a bitch......"

Hu Yiting understood Tariq's thoughts, and the other party undoubtedly wanted to completely bundle Chongguang's "Shadow Overlord" to their 6X86 series processors to achieve the effect of 1+1 greater than 1. And that behind one 1. Of course, it refers to the current unlimited Intel Pentium series processors.

The ensuing negotiations basically revolved around the price, with Mr. Hu telling Tariq that he had offered the computer $45 per chip.

Tariq mentally estimates that the current shipping price of a 100 MHz 6X86 processor is $120. The combined price of the two reaches $165, which is still significantly lower than the whopping $265 shipping price of Intel's 100-megahertz Pentium processor.

Tariq's heart began to beat wildly with excitement, and when he closed his eyes, he could imagine that the expressions on the faces of Intel and AMD must be worse than eating.

"This deal has to be successful! If I can help the company beat Intel, then I will be the strongest contender for the Friedman presidency!"

Hu Yiting and Wang Lili were next taken by Malmo. After visiting the entire Cyrix China branch, the two were full of praise for the spacious decoration and working environment in the multinational company.

"Sister Wang, in the future, we will also have such an office building to provide free coffee. In addition, we will provide staff rest areas, nurseries, and canteens. In short, let employees treat the company as their home. ”

Wang Lili said with a smile: "As long as the goods are delivered in Hong Kong, we will pay for the goods if we imagine it, and the net profit of 3.75 million US dollars will be converted into RMB, which is 30 million, and we can rent office buildings wherever we want." ”

The evening cocktail party was held in the lobby of the five-star hotel restaurant opposite the office building where Cyrix is located, and in addition to the senior staff of Cyrix China, there were more than 100 agents who participated in the new product launch today.

The reception was in the form of a buffet, where Hu Yiting and Wang Lili enjoyed high-end red wine while munching on cod mousse, lemon chicken, steak, apple pie, strawberry cake, chocolate ice cream and other delicacies served by the hotel.

Wang Lili held chocolate ice cream in her hand and said to Hu Yiting enviously: "Cyrix is so generous in spending money, where can I finish eating so many things." ”

Hu Yiting said: "Well, I really want to bring a few big bags back and give my brothers a tooth sacrifice." ”

Wang Lili snickered: "Don't say it, I also have this idea." ”

Hu Yiting watched Tariq, Malmo, Fang Peng and others exchanging cups with the suppliers, and thought about it, and said to Wang Lili in his ear.

Wang Lili's face flushed, but she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the waiter and ask for a plastic bag." ”

After a while, Wang Lili stood in the corner of the restaurant with a plastic bag in her hand and glanced at Hu Yiting.

Hu Yiting hurriedly pushed a three-layer food cart, and the three plates in it were apple pie, chocolate cake and cheese clams, and put two bottles of red wine on it.

The car was pushed to Wang Lili's side, and the two filled four large plastic bags, picked up two bottles of red wine, and went downstairs directly from the transportation elevator in the corner of the restaurant lobby.

After getting into the car, Hu Yiting and Wang Lili smiled back and forth, Wang Lili took out her mobile phone, called according to Malmeliu's phone, and told him that he had gone first.

How did Malmo know that the two people of Chongguang Company even ate and took it, and still regretted that he couldn't have a good drink and talk with them, he apologized again and again on the phone, saying that next time he would definitely reset the banquet to entertain Chongguang Company.

Hanging up the phone, Wang Lili blushed in the taxi and said, "Hu Yiting, why do I think we are so embarrassed." ”

Hu Yiting said with a smile: "Patent hooligans like us, who will eat if you don't eat big households? Besides, the belly and mouth oil that the two of us eat, if we go back and blow it again, we must not kill those five small ones." ”

Wang Lili's shoulders twitched with a smile: "It's okay now, go back and divide the loot, and make sure everyone is happy." Let me see, ah, this chocolate cake is delicious, it's a little flattened, the cream is squeezed into a lump, and this apple pie is good, you can't buy it outside! I forgot to eat this cheese clam just now, I'm going to try it first. Hu Yiting, do you know, today is the most authentic Western food I have ever eaten. ”

"Hahaha......" The tears of laughter were about to come out.

The taxi driver looked at them in the rearview mirror and thought to himself that these two people were really inexplicable. (To be continued.) )
