249 I Want ......
Ouyang Chen has been sitting solemnly on the side, experiencing Wang Shizi's negotiation style.
In fact, the general manager of Datang Shizi Technology has been very busy recently, because the shelves of Datang Shizi chips have not been completely set up, so he also serves as the general manager of Datang Shizi chips. Wang Shizi talked to him about this issue before, and he readily agreed.
Anyway, Datang Shizi Technology is already on track, and there are not many things that need to be dealt with by him. What's more, he has already made the right bet, even if he only takes the dividend of 3/10,000 of the net income of Datang Shizi Technology, his income this year has exceeded the sum of all previous incomes, and it doesn't matter if he temporarily adds to the burden in this case.
Therefore, he is still very clear about the company's finances and investments, so at this time, he can still make people believe in Wang Shizi's ability to make a blank check.
At present, the company does plan to invest more than 10 billion US dollars in the construction of high-tech laboratories, but this is a one-time investment, and the equipment is bought back is its own, and the investment in scientific research is ....... For the time being, he hasn't seen ......, of course, there should still be something in the future, but Ouyang Chen can be sure that Wang Shizi will definitely not have the 3D virtual screen technology that Wang Shizi came up with.
Ouyang Chen doesn't understand technology, but since Wang Shizi can make the other party believe that the technology he has mastered has overcome all the technical difficulties, then he must have real materials in his hands, and this means that there will definitely not be much follow-up investment, although he is also surprised where Wang Shizi's suddenly popped up technology came from, but he is very sure that it is definitely not a large investment in research and development as Wang Shizi said.
Of course, he can only rot in his stomach and continue to wait seriously for Huawei's conditions. But then again, an advanced technology came out. If you want to use it, you have to spend a lot of money, otherwise Huawei HiSilicon wouldn't have to spend money to get RAM authorization.
It's just that like Wang Shizi, the style of collecting money once first, calling it cooperative research and development funds, and then licensing funds to be calculated separately, is too revealing the essence of profiteers. Of course, his boss is a profiteer. Ouyang Chen still appreciates it, which means that his dividends can also be more......
"In addition, we also require that the license fee for the future 3D virtual screen to Huawei must be at least 40% lower than that of Apple in the alliance." Just when Ouyang Chen was slightly distracted, Ren Zhiyuan continued to speak.
This requirement is obviously to prepare for the subsequent market competition. The lower license fee means that Huawei will have a certain price advantage in market competition. After all, Apple's performance in the high-end mobile phone market is too strong, there is no price advantage, even if Datang Shizi Technology has promised only three temporary new technology alliances, Huawei does not dare to say that it has the confidence to compete with Apple in the market.
"That's fine." Wang Shizi nodded very dryly, "But accordingly, you should also pay more sincerity." ”
"Sincerity? Well, what does Mr. Wang mean is that we want to increase our upfront investment? Ren Zhiyuan said, obviously if Wang Shizi really meant this, it would be too boring.
"No, we need Huawei's support in terms of talent, to be exact, it is the support of HiSilicon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huawei. Mr. Ren also knows that our Datang Shizi chip is just in its infancy. As the largest chip design company in China, HiSilicon must have a rich talent pool. We hope that HiSilicon can temporarily seconded a group of high-level IC design engineers to us. To be experienced, at least have participated in the design of the Kirin 920 processor, well, what we need most at the moment is the back-end R&D personnel. Wang Shizi said in one breath.
Wang Shizi's request once again made everyone at Huawei's top level roll their eyes in unison.
What is the most valuable thing in the 21st century? Talent! This is not a slogan, but a fact. Especially for the semiconductor industry. Every high-tech talent is a treasure.
So what is HiSilicon? This has to be talked about from the current global semiconductor industry.
To put it simply, there are currently two models in the world's semiconductor industry, one is a formula like Intel. Design your own and produce your own. The advantage of this is that the circuit design is closely integrated with the process and is confidential.
The other is a fabless design company like HiSilicon that separates design and production, and similar to HiSilicon, there are also familiar Qualcomm and Texas Instruments. They just design.
At present, the world's most advanced technology is undoubtedly in the hands of Intel, but Intel does not foundry, so these design companies can only hand over the products they design to foundry companies such as TSMC and SMIC, which have mastered the second-generation technology.
And because almost all smartphone processors, except for the freak of Intel ATOM, use the ARM system, so these design companies generally first ask the British ARM company to buy the instruction set and core architecture license, and develop their own mobile phone CPU products based on this.
This is also the reason why many smartphones also use processors of the same architecture, but the core frequency, cache capacity and frequency, as well as the configuration of other optional modules such as floating-point modules, GPU, memory interfaces, DSPs, power management modules, audio codecs, video interfaces, camera interfaces, network interfaces, etc., are different.
HiSilicon is one such design company, formerly known as Huawei's Integrated Circuit Design Center.
Of course, although these basic technologies have been purchased, it is not easy to design a powerful CPU on this basis, especially the Kirin 920 can be said to be the most cutting-edge IC design product in Huaxia, and the people involved in the design can imagine how precious they are.
What's even more disgusting is that Wang Shizi wants more back-end designers when he opens his mouth, everyone knows that the back-end of the mobile phone processor IC can be more difficult than the front-end, and the various functional bugs of the general mobile phone processor are generally the front-end personnel problem, and most of the back-end problems are not successful in tape-out, especially the current experienced back-end personnel in Huaxia.
Does that make them roll their eyes? It is not an exaggeration to say that every back-end R&D personnel of the Kirin 920 is a treasure of HiSilicon! It's not asking for money, but in a sense, it's more ruthless than asking for money......
In other words, is it so blatantly digging into the corner, or in front of a large group of Huawei executives, can everyone still be good friends?
And after rolling his eyes, everyone's eyes were on Ren Zhiyuan, who was still silent, saying that the boss must not be confused at this time...... (To be continued......)
