"Is it a good thing to call me so early?" Lang Xuan's voice sounded lazy, as if he had just woken up, with a bit of soft and coquettishness.

Well, in fact, Lang Xuan did just wake up.

Lin Zheng laughed dryly, "It's also a good thing, our Miss Lang is going to be promoted and make a fortune again, is this a good thing?" ”

"Just say that you want a hard-working person like me to work for you this week, what do you say about getting promoted and making a fortune?" Lang Xuan on the phone sighed twice, with a helpless tone of appointment, "Forget it, I'm just going to have this hard time, let's say, what's the matter?" By the way, congratulations to Boss Lin for signing a contract with Texas Instruments. ”

Why can't I hear the slightest joy in you? There was a faint thorn in Lang Xuan's words, Lin Zheng felt as uncomfortable as he wanted to be, I didn't sin against you this time, could it be that I made such an unfortunate phone call, just in time for the few days when you were uncomfortable? Forget it, don't worry about it, this kind of thing is not shameful enough, "Can you find a way to get out of a team that can complete everything from mold design to board design from Compal and Quandara?" ”

"Compal and Quanta......" Lang Xuan on the other end of the phone fell into silence, as if he was thinking about the origin of the two companies of Compal and Quanta, and after a while, Lang Xuan's voice rang again: "Are the Compal and Quanta you are talking about, like Fujitsu, doing computer foundry?" ”

"That's right, it's them," Speaking of this, Lin Zheng realized that what he just said was incomplete, "Their laptop OEM is doing a very good job." We don't have that kind of talent. ”

"Notebook OEM, ......" Lang Xuan on the other end of the phone was silent again.

This is in ...... Ponder? Lin Zheng couldn't help but ponder in his heart.

He didn't know that Lang Xuan, who was supposed to have a gloomy face on the other end of the phone, turned up slightly at the corners of his mouth at this moment. turned out to be a very happy look: Lin Zheng told himself that he wanted to be a computer OEM when he planned to do electronic product OEM, so he made a lot of hard work to understand the electronic product OEM industry, and he knew very well that if it was just a desktop, it would be fine, but a laptop? The professionalism of this thing is really quite high, and playing the OEM of a desktop computer is not the same as playing the OEM of a laptop, but Lin Zheng has not had a clear action since then, and he can't say anything. Okay now, you kid knows it's hard, right?

For half a minute, Lang Xuan did not speak. Just when Lin Zheng was wondering if there was a problem with the phone line, Lang Xuan spoke, "I can help you think of a way, but you have to give me a letter, when will my job be the end?" ”

"Are you still thinking about coming to the United States?" Lin Zheng's mouth is open. Some time ago, when Lang Xuan told herself that she wanted to be in charge of this mess on the American side. Lin Zheng only regarded her as a whim. Unexpectedly, this woman has been thinking about this all the time, "After you come to the United States, what will happen to the child?" ”

"Of course my daughter will come with her," Lang Xuan's tone was a matter of course, "My mother will come with me then...... My mom knows a little English, and daily communication and conversation are still fine. ”

"......" Lin Zheng was speechless when he listened, an old lady of such an age. I was able to maintain a level of English proficiency that allowed me to communicate and have conversations on a daily basis...... Lang Xuan's mother wasn't engaged in foreign affairs when she was young, right?

Lin Zheng didn't speak, and Lang Xuan didn't care. Just told him, "I'll tell you, I'll help you with this, but you have to take my business to heart...... You can't have a small one in the United States, and you can't wait to come back, right? ”

If this woman is married and has children, she really dares to say anything. If you tease me, can it be that I can't tease you? Lin Zheng blurted out a sentence, "Only with a beautiful fool like you can I go to find a small one." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Zheng regretted it and wanted to slap himself backhand: Lang Xuan didn't feel what he meant about himself, and he obviously wanted to avoid it, why did he have to cause this trouble?

Hearing Lin Zheng's words, Lang Xuan was also stunned, and after a while, the woman giggled, and she was laughing very happily, "Okay, you still have the idea of sisters taking it all...... No, I really helped Tan Na's girl to watch you a little closer, you men are like this, there is no good thing. ”

I said, can we not expand the impact area, Boss Lin was hit by this sentence and burst into tears, and he couldn't take care of it for a while, and said viciously, "Cheng!" I'm just going to eat it all...... Belch? The phone hung up so quickly? ”

Looking at the beeping phone receiver, Lin Zheng regretted a little in his heart: Is this joke a bit excessive?

Tan Na, who hung up the phone quickly as if she was a thief, was short of breath, and it took a long time before she muttered in a low voice with a smile: "Sisters eat all?" Hey ......"

It's just that when he said this, even the pink skin on his neck turned pink.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Boss, I have been in contact with ARM, and they are very interested in taking our order," Sun Yafang sat in front of Lin Zheng and reported to Lin Zheng the information he had in contact with ARM one by one, "They are willing to develop three special chips for us on the basis of ARM7, such as wireless routers, mobile phones and PDAs, but this involves modifications to part of the architecture, and the licensing fee for the three special chips is 8 million pounds, if an agreement can be reached, They will provide us with a hardware description of the integration of the ARM7 core, and will also release the gate circuit diagram of the selected ARM core, along with the abstract simulation model and test program, to assist us in the subsequent design integration and verification. ”

"By the way, there are also complete software development tools, including compilers, debuggers, SDKs, etc., and on top of that, we pay them an extra £20 for every chip produced."

Since he has been dealing with ARM-based mobile phones all day long, Lin Zheng really understands ARM's licensing system, not only knows that ARM's licensing system is extremely complex, not only has a variety of licensing terms, but also includes items such as price and dissemination, but now it seems that ARM's licensing terms are a bit too much to learn from Lei Feng: ARM is very dark when authorizing, which is known to all people in the industry and semi-industry, but now, the situation is a little wrong.

Soon, Lin Zheng realized what the problem was, and couldn't help but sneer, "Damn the British, they actually played tricks on us!" ”

"Huh?" Sun Yafang was stunned for a while before she cautiously asked, "What do you mean...... Is this price too high? ”

"The price is high, but that's not all, the authorization he gave us is tightly for the authorization method of obtaining a point of IPcore certification, what we need is a synthesizable RTL form to obtain the IP ...... of the processor"

"Wait a while," Sun Yafang was completely stunned by her boss's words, and she didn't know many special English abbreviations, so she quickly raised her hand to interrupt Lin Zheng's words, "Boss, what do these IP, IPcore and RTL mean?" ”

Poor thing, although Sun Yafang has been staying in Huawei, a company engaged in telecommunications equipment, the fresh words that came out of the mouth of her new boss this time still made her head dizzy for a while.

"IPcore, IntellectualPropertycore, RTL are scratchpad transfer layers."

"Understood," Sun Yafang nodded, "You continue." ”

"We don't need IPcore certification, what we need is to obtain the IP of the processor with the help of synthesizable RTL, so that we can optimize and enhance the architecture, so that we can accomplish additional design goals, such as adjusting high oscillation frequency, low energy consumption, instruction set extension, etc., without being limited by the circuit diagram that cannot be changed, I say that you understand?"

What is there not to understand about this, Sun Yafang nodded, "Of course, the second one is better, which is more beneficial to the development of the company, but we don't have suitable IC designers at all." ”

"Just because we don't have the right IC designers doesn't mean we haven't been there, and you told ARM to adopt a second way of working together, which doesn't involve a lot of architectural changes...... Well, the licensing fee is up to you, in principle, it is not higher than $5 million, and the patent fee for a single core is only $5 at most. ”

Not only has the number decreased, but the unit has also changed from pounds to dollars, and Lin Zheng's request is ruthless enough. But who makes the current ARM company still a world's third-rate IC design company, don't look at the ARM of later generations is very awesome, a single customer product containing a basic ARM core may need to ask for a license fee of up to 200,000 US dollars, and if it involves a large number of architectural modifications, the cost may exceed 10 million US dollars. But not now, the current ARM is just a well-off IC design company.

"I ...... Try your best! Sun Yafang gritted her teeth, she was really a little unoptimistic about Lin Zheng's approach.

"You tell them that our mobile phone factory is designed to have an annual production capacity of 1 million units, how to choose, let them do it themselves."

"An annual output of 1 million mobile phones?" Sun Yafang was taken aback by Lin Zheng's words!

Boss, that's not how you put satellites, right? In 1994, the total number of mobile phone users in China was only 1.57 million, and now it has just exceeded 2 million.

"Our mobile phone from now on the design, to the final market, this goal can be achieved by the end of next year is good, Yafang manager, according to the growth rate of domestic mobile phones in recent years, do you think by the end of 96 and the beginning of 97, the total number of domestic mobile phone users can reach?" (To be continued......)
