Chapter 105: Doing Something
Waiting for the wind to come, Wang Fan waited for the high tube, but he didn't expect to wait for the four-star and fruit first.
The president of the four-star Huaxia District wants to talk to him. In this regard, Wang Fan was a little surprised, and he didn't know what the other party's intentions were.
For the four-star, Wang Fan is actually very sympathetic.
THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD, ESPECIALLY IN THE PAST TWO YEARS, WHETHER IT IS THE WORLD'S UNIQUE HYPERBOLOID SCREEN OR THE WORLD'S LEADING 14NM PROCESS, IT MARKS THE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT OF FOUR-STAR.
But this did not stop the continuous decline of the four-star market share, even if it was the unprecedented launch of the 2000-gear low-end machine, it still did not help.
Coupled with the rise of a number of manufacturers in Huaxia, and even getting involved in high-end, it has seriously scratched part of the market share of four-star.
On the other hand, fruits, although they have not changed much, still hold the top spot, or even go further.
Sometimes, effort really doesn't make much difference. But if you don't work hard, the result will be even worse.
"Hello, mortal technology Wang Fan. Wang Fan was very calm.
"Wang Donghao, Lin Tao, president of the four-star Huaxia District. ”
"I don't know if you have any advice?" Wang Fan asked bluntly, destined to be an enemy, there was no need to say too much greetings.
Lin Tao was a little surprised by Wang Fan's directness: "I don't dare to advise, I just want to discuss cooperation with your company." ”
"Do we have a place where we can cooperate?" Wang Fan frowned, not knowing the other party's plans.
"Wang Dong joked, we can cooperate in many aspects, such as the CPU field. As far as we know, Mortal Technology is going to enter the mobile phone industry, but now it must be struggling with CPUs. The mobile phone development cycle is not short, if Wang Dong uses the high tube 810, not only the threshold is relatively high, but the main thing is that when your mobile phone is listed, I am afraid that the high tube 820 will be released. ”
Wang Fan understands that this is indeed a thorny problem, if the mobile phone of the 820 platform is directly developed, it is even more impossible, once the 820 is postponed, Wang Fan can't afford to wait.
"Could it be that you have a good solution?"
"Of course!" Lin Tao said: "The four-star force is very strong, we can give you 7420, and send a team to help, and shorten the cycle as much as possible." In this way, 7420 plus your company's CPU intelligent control software, even if the 820 is launched next year, it still has the power to fight. ”
If you can get 7420, it is a good way, but the other party will definitely not give it in vain, so Wang Fan asked directly: "What conditions?"
Lin Tao knew that Wang Fan rejected Haina International's investment last time, and there was no shortage of money at the moment, so he didn't mention acquisitions, investment, etc., but said:
"It's easy to say, as long as you sell us the core technology of the camera master, of course, the CPU tuning technology can be sold at the same time. Rest assured, the price is absolutely sufficient. ”
Wang Fan was speechless: "I'm sorry, the camera master won't be sold, and the CPU tuning won't be sold." ”
"There is no possibility of negotiation, the price is absolutely satisfactory to you!"
"The software can be licensed, but the core technology will not be sold. Wang Fan decisively refused.
There was silence on the other side of the phone, spending money on software, which is only possible for companies that don't have the technology. Four-star technology is a family, and it will not take this road at all until it is forced to do so.
After a long time, Lin Tao sighed: "It's okay if you don't sell it, as long as the camera master doesn't authorize it to other manufacturers, the 7420 is still for you to use." Of course, we will bear your losses. ”
"This is not good, the enterprise-level licensing cooperation of Camera Master is being negotiated. Wang Fan said.
Although Wang Fan is not short of money now, and it is more in his interests for the camera master to keep it for his own use. But Wang Fan still chooses to authorize other domestic manufacturers to use.
On the one hand, because his career is big, the more money the better.
On the other hand, it can be regarded as a support for domestic mobile phone manufacturers, although it will have a certain impact on the mobile phone business of Mortal Technology, but there is competition to have motivation, Wang Fan doesn't care at all.
What's more, the domestic standard of living is limited, not everyone uses 5000+ high-end machines, and other users also have the right to experience high-quality photography.
Mortal Technology has no intention of making low-end mobile phones for the time being, so it can only be licensed to other domestic manufacturers.
Lin Tao was silent for a while: "Okay, I'll take a step back, as long as you don't authorize Huawei to use it, 7420 can be used by you!"
Wang Fan was a little hesitant, it would indeed be much easier to get 7420, but because of this, it would hinder the development of Warwick, which could be done?
However, this also shows that the strong rise of Warwick, high-end layout, and overseas development have all had a huge impact on the four-star.
"Let me think about it. Wang Fan replied and hung up the phone, which was a tactful refusal.
Although Huawei is also a technology leader and has developed rapidly in recent years, it is still in the same field of photography as other domestic manufacturers, with limited accumulation and is still in a catch-up position.
Once other domestic mobile phones use camera masters, and fruit and four-star have their own advantages, if Huawei still relies on itself, it is destined to be very passive.
But Wang Fan believes that it may not be long before Huawei will rely on its own strength to catch up with international giants and get rid of its dependence on camera masters.
Wang Fan had just rejected the four-star cooperation, and phone calls from the top management of the fruit came one after another.
still planned to spend money on core technology, but Wang Fan did not agree.
Not to mention the products of technology-derived systems, he can't come up with core technologies at all. Even if there is, he won't sell it!
Why is the cutting-edge technology of Europe and the United States blockaded and embargoed China, and China's cutting-edge technology should be directly sold?
In recent years, due to the restrictions of Europe and the United States, many fields in China have developed slowly. There are some problems that are not only technical, but also infrastructure.
Take mass production CPUs as an example, the main basic equipment, lithography machines, etching machines, etc., have been blocked and restricted by Europe and the United States.
If Huaxia wants to buy, it not only has to break through many restrictions, but also spend a greater price, and all it gets is some almost outdated equipment. The most advanced is simply impossible.
If you don't even have advanced equipment, what can you do to produce CPUs, improve processes, and develop wafer fabs?
Therefore, Huaxia, as the largest mobile CPU consumer market, is almost powerless for the wafer factories in the mainland, and the money is made by other giants.
THE ONLY LEADER IS SMIC, AND THE LOW-END CPU OF THE 28NM PROCESS THAT IS ABOUT TO BE RETIRED IS NOW THE HIGH-END OF THE 14NM/16NM PROCESS, AND THERE IS A 20NM IN THE MIDDLE, WHICH IS A GAP OF SEVERAL GENERATIONS!
Seeing Wang Fan's refusal, the high-level fruit executives retreated to the next best thing, asking to restrict the enterprise-level cooperation of the camera master, especially emphasizing Huawei and others, on the condition that the CPU intelligent control software and the mortal forum were launched on the fruit app store, and the sales proceeds were not worth any fruit!
It used to be three or seven points, but now it's one point, this temptation is big enough!
With more than 500 million fruit users, even if only 20% of users buy, that is at least 15 billion in revenue!
But Wang Fan still refused. A gentleman has something to do and something not to do. Although he is not a decent man, he also has his own principles.
Money can be earned slowly, and the road can be walked slowly. But for his own interests, he can't do this to hinder the development of other domestic high-quality enterprises.
