Chapter 223 Lightly taking 50 billion US dollars in income, from the care of the big guy
MVIDIA in 2015 is just a younger brother, with a market value of just more than 20 billion US dollars, which is not conspicuous in a beautiful country.
CEO Huang Xunjian took the opportunity of the Yancheng Expo to express the idea of in-depth cooperation to Zhang Nan.
After all, Future Technology is the world's top artificial intelligence technology company.
Every year, a large number of graphics processing units (GPUs), graphics cards, high-performance desktops, servers and hardware accelerators need to be purchased, and the order value is up to 200 million US dollars.
In addition, with the continuous development of future technology in the field of artificial intelligence, the products will continue to be enriched, and the scale of orders will continue to expand.
You must know that Maiweida's total revenue last year was only 4 billion US dollars, and the net profit was only 600 million US dollars, and the purchase contract of 200 million US dollars was definitely a big customer.
For Huang, it is important to gain a friendship with Future Technology, which is crucial to the company's sales performance in the new year and even boosts shareholders' investment confidence.
A black S-class Daben slowly drove into Jingwei Garden, and a middle-aged man in a leather coat walked down, about the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, his hair was two or three percent gray, but he was still full of spirit and full of aura.
"Mr. Huang, hello, welcome to Future Technology, this is the Moss Research Institute, the place where Moss artificial intelligence was born."
Zhang Nan held the other party's hand and introduced with a smile.
"It's exquisite, it has the design beauty of a southern garden, and I am very happy to be able to work in this environment."
Huang Xunjian said with a smile.
"The area is too small, and the Changqin and Bifang buildings next door are full, but it is expected that by the end of the year, Future Technology will be relocated to the new software park, located in the South Third Ring Road, with 1,600 acres."
Zhang Nan said casually, invisibly, showing the company's strong strength.
1600 acres?
More than 1 million square meters?
Or is it in the Third Ring Road?
Rao is a well-informed Huang Xunjian, and he can't help but secretly speak, which means that Future Technology has strong financial resources and connections.
Otherwise, it would be a fool's dream to get such a piece of land in the Third Ring Road!
"Is Mr. Chen in the company?"
Huang Xunjian asked.
"I'll take you there."
Zhang Nan smiled lightly, and saw that the other party had no intention of visiting the park, so he turned around and walked straight to the fifth floor of Building B.
Step into the elevator and press the floor button.
Huang Xunjian took his assistant and followed behind.
It's not that Chen Heyu deliberately put on a score, but with his current status in the industry, he far surpasses Huang Xunjian and the MVIDIA behind him.
"Ding" sound!
The elevator door opened, and there was a glass access control in front of him, and Zhang Nan said softly: "Moss, open the door." ”
Voiceprint recognition!
Future Technology does not have the saying of check-in and clock-in, and the first access control when entering the company will record the voice of employees as a basis for going to work.
Huang Xunjian looked at it with interest, looked up and asked, "Is this the one that uses the Moss intelligent voice system?" ”
"That's right, it's just for internal use in the company, so it's easy for employees to get in and out."
Zhang Nan explained.
There is no need to store fingerprints, no face recognition, as long as each person's different voiceprints are recorded in advance, the company's access control can be controlled through voice passwords.
"That's awesome!"
Huang Xunjian said secretly.
Huaguo's artificial intelligence software is indeed far ahead of the beautiful country, Yamason's Alexa, Gugou's Now and Apple's Siri, compared with it, it is simply a whole era behind.
Then the group headed west, across the fifth-floor workspace, to an office door.
"Knock knock!"
Zhang Nan stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Click!"
Chen Heyu opened the door, caught a glimpse of Huang Xunjian on the side, and greeted warmly: "Mr. Huang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, what kind of tea or coffee do you want to drink?" ”
"Mr. Chen, I want a latte, thank you."
Huang Xunjian belongs to a typical beautiful Chinese character, who is very arrogant, and he can't make a fake politeness to be a snake.
"Wait a minute."
Chen Heyu skillfully started the automatic coffee machine, mixed a latte, and chose a cup of mocha for himself.
The coffee beans sent by Rebus taste good, but Chen Heyu rarely drinks them, only occasionally has a cup.
Usually, he prefers to drink tea, or plain water.
"I heard that your company wants to purchase a batch of high-performance graphics cards and graphics processors, maybe you can consider MVIDIA, in this regard, we have many years of manufacturing experience, and first-class products."
Huang Xunjian went straight to the point.
He used his peripheral vision to observe the layout of the office, a mahogany table, flanked by tall wooden bookshelves, densely packed with all kinds of books, from the outside, most of them have traces of flipping, not pure decoration.
By the window, there is a sofa and coffee table, and the tools for making tea are placed.
"I'm sorry, Future Technology already has a fixed supplier, hardware accelerators from Gugou, graphics processors from AND, and high-performance computers are also supplied by Dell, Intel, and Apple.
IMHO, MVIDIA has no obvious advantages, and I have no reason to change suppliers. ”
Chen Heyu shook his head and refused directly, this is his habit before negotiations, first denial, lower the other party's expectations, and then throw out the real purpose to reach the intention of cooperation.
"Last year, MVIDIA designed an embedded AI application design platform called the Jetson System, which has a complete software stack that includes a deep learning framework, a compute library, and an image processing library tool to perform real-time AI inference tasks on edge devices......"
Huang Xunjian talked about the company's new products, and he was full of confidence about this technology product.
Before visiting Future Technology, he successfully won an order for Dajiang drones with Jetson to provide real-time image processing and machine learning inference, enabling drones to perceive the environment, make decisions and perform tasks more intelligently.
In his opinion, Chen Heyu can also easily persuade and impress him with products.
"Future Technology has Moss Ai, and it doesn't need a computing platform, but graphics cards and graphics processors can be considered on the purchase list, but you have to tell me, why give up AND and choose McWeida?"
Chen Heyu asked with a smile.
In the era of industrial globalization, future technology needs the support of many hardware suppliers to develop Moss artificial intelligence.
This is one of the important reasons for his self-developed chips, if Moss touches the fundamental interests of the giants in the future, and the opponent directly takes the chip to his neck, what will happen then?
It is imperative to make your own chips!
"MVIDIA's graphics card and graphics processor are very superior in parallel processing capabilities, which is conducive to Moss Ai to establish training models, improve learning speed, accelerate image processing tasks, and improve the accuracy and real-time ...... of image recognition."
Huang Xunjian tried to use the advantages of the product to make Future Technology accept his products.
"I understand what Mr. Huang said, but it can't be a reason to replace AND."
Chen Heyu waved his hand and interrupted him.
Huang Xunjian frowned, he thought that Chen Heyu agreed to see him and had a certain intention of cooperation.
Who would have thought that no matter how he explained, the other party looked like he was lacking in interest.
This blow is a bit big!
Suddenly!
He caught a touch of narrowness in Chen Heyu's eyes, and immediately understood that the other party did not want to cooperate, but had additional conditions.
"Mr. Chen, if you have any requirements, just put it forward, if MVIDIA can do it, I will definitely not refuse, about this cooperation, I have great sincerity."
Huang Xunjian said in a deep voice.
"First, Future Technology should take a stake in MVIDIA; Second, the MVIDIA Institute should use the Horae design software. ”
Chen Heyu saw him on the road and replied with a smile.
"Frankly, MVIDIA is a very diversified technology company, I only have less than 15% of the shares, management and all employees own 2% of the shares, and most of the rest is in the hands of institutional and individual investors.
Mr. Chen, for me personally, I like powerful investment institutions very much, and I do not exclude financing, but for the healthy and stable development of the company, I can only transfer 3% of the equity at most, and I also need to obtain the consent of Xianfeng Fund.
Replacing the EDA software is no problem, but it has to be as capable as the Virtuoso circuit design and IC Compiler physical design tools. ”
Huang Xunjian pondered for a few seconds and said slowly.
Pioneer Fund is MVIDIA's largest investment institution, and Virtuoso and IC Compiler are Cadence and Synopsys' representative EDA software, respectively.
"It's all!"
Chen Heyu scolded secretly.
However, a 3% stake? It's so little!
"Mr. Huang, I plan to combine Ai and VR technology to create a holographic surreal online game, and I need to buy a large number of graphics cards and graphics processors, and the supplier has not yet been decided, do you know what I mean?"
The corners of Chen Heyu's mouth hooked up a smile, trying to tempt him.
"5%, that's my bottom line."
Huang Xunjian gritted his teeth and agreed.
"It's a pleasure to work with, and trust me, Horae will definitely not disappoint you as it is the world's first EDA software that supports 5nm chip design."
Chen Heyu said confidently.
"What?!"
When Huang Xunjian heard this, he was stunned for a moment, what is the concept of 5nm chip manufacturing process?
The most advanced tools of Cadence and Synopsys can only reach the level of 7nm, and the future technology will be directly raised to a higher level?
This means being able to handle higher levels of integration and more complex design requirements, delivering higher design capacity and performance, which is of great significance to MVIDIA.
Especially for complex circuit boards such as graphics cards, which integrate a large number of electronic components, a suitable EDA software is very important in order to achieve high performance and stable functions.
If Chen's words were not adulterated with water, MVIDIA would have been able to develop more high-performance graphics cards and graphics processors.
"Mr. Huang can find someone to try Horae's compatibility and design, and we will talk about investment cooperation first, and then consider the issue of procurement contracts."
Chen Heyu said.
“No problem!”
Huang Xunjian nodded and readily agreed.
Then, the two parties preliminarily agreed on the content of the equity transfer agreement, set the signing time for three days later, and Chen Heyu personally sent him away.
“Shit! I feel that I have been fooled, and I am obviously looking for cooperation, how did it become a resale of stocks? ”
After Huang Xunjian got into the car, he suddenly realized.
Immediately, he showed a satisfied smile, the annual income of Future Technology is more than 10 billion US dollars, and the valuation of Huaer Street is set at 90 billion US dollars, which is about to exceed 100 billion US dollars.
Being able to catch this line is also a big opportunity for MVIDIA.
At this time, Huang Xunjian did not know that the market value of MVIDIA would exceed 1 trillion US dollars in the future, becoming the ninth supergiant in the world with a market value of more than 1 trillion US dollars.
is still secretly complacent about the cooperation with future technology.
On the other hand, Chen Heyu thought about it and called Zhou Zi, asking him to pay attention to the changes in MVIDIA's equity information in the beautiful country, and look for an opportunity to continue to acquire MVIDIA's shares.
5%?
In another seven years, it will be 50 billion US dollars, and this business is the largest return on investment since his rebirth.
A few days later, Future Technology successfully acquired 5% of MVIDIA's stock at a price of 1 billion US dollars, causing a major earthquake in the technology circle.
In fact, the development of future science and technology is beyond their imagination, and it is growing at a terrible speed, becoming an industry giant step by step.
……
"Meng Lao, you have a new situation for Chen Heyu, who has made my attention, buy 5% of MVIDIA's shares and launch an EDA software that can realize the design support of 5nm chips."
Secretary Liu dialed out a one-line phone and reported cautiously.
"Compared with EDA companies in beautiful countries, what is the technical level? What grade is it in? ”
The voice on the phone was a little old, faintly revealing a grand majesty, which made Secretary Liu's heart sink.
"World-class, comparable to Cadence and Synopsys."
Secretary Liu said truthfully.
"yes, I see."
Meng Lao said indifferently, and his calm tone made it impossible to guess his true thoughts.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Lao found a number and called it directly, last time he said that he would take care of him, and this time he realized it together.
People who can do things and do great things, it is normal for him to give some rewards.
……
"Boss, I just received a notice that more than a dozen official scientific research institutions are calling for the purchase and use of copyrights.
More importantly, there is also the Department of Education, which will purchase EDA software for 800 colleges and universities across the country for teaching. ”
Zhang Nan said in surprise.
"Do a good job of pre-guidance and after-sales processing, I know what's going on, don't worry about it."
Chen Heyu admonished.
A few days ago, Secretary Liu specially called to explain and asked him to handle this purchase order, and when he couldn't make a mistake, he understood that this was a care from above.
He sacrificed his life to spend money on research and development, and achieved outstanding results, so he naturally received the care of the big guy.
Xihe's domestic situation has been opened, and the next thing is to see if MVIDIA can help him gain attention in overseas markets.
Because, the largest market in the chip industry is overseas, in Beiberry Zhou, in Europe!
