Chapter 561 - Low-key Joining (3 More 1w4 Asking for Subscription!)
"You guys are arguing first, I'll answer the phone. ”
Fang Nian glanced at the eye number, greeted him, and walked towards the southeast corner.
In the southeast corner of the office is the afternoon tea area.
There are floor-to-ceiling glass on both sides, and the view is very wide.
Sitting down at the gardening tea table, Fang Nian answered the phone and greeted warmly: "Good afternoon, Mr. Lei, what do you command?" ”
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fang. ”
Lei Jun chuckled and joked.
"Or ...... Mr. Fang came to Xiaomi to take on a part-time job, so don't hang on the honor. ”
Fang Nian promised again and again: "Yes, Mr. Lei spoke, dare not obey his orders." ”
"Let's not talk about the annual and monthly salary, just give an hourly salary of three or five hundred thousand. ”
Lei Jun followed the conversation and said: "The hourly salary of three and a half hundred thousand is too sorry for Mr. Fang's ability." ”
“......”
Both were in a good mood.
Fang Nian is because the progress of Luzhou and his party has been unprecedentedly smooth.
Thunder Army......
Lei Jun has always been in a good mood.
At the age of forty, I started my business again, and I was full of energy, as if I had returned to my twenties all of a sudden, and it was no wonder if I was in a good mood.
“......”
After a few jokes, Lei Jun brought up the matter: "In the morning, the Juchang side passed me and hoped to join the Nuwa Alliance, and I have already notified Mr. Huang, Mr. Chen, and Mr. Shen;
After all, this is the first time that a company has applied to join the alliance, so I suggest that we have a conference call to discuss. ”
Fang Nian thought for a while, but still responded with a smile: "I'm okay here." ”
"In fact, after Mr. Lei and your seniors decide, just notify me after a few of your seniors decide. ”
Lei Jun was happy: "Mr. Fang, you are the speaker of the Nuwa Alliance, and according to the corresponding rules and regulations, you have a veto." ”
Lei Jun's remark, the person who said it, Fang Nian, said that he was very kind.
The heart says that I don't care, I don't make mobile phones at the forefront, open a hammer meeting!
However, Fang Nian still smiled on the surface and said: "That's right, power doesn't have to expire and be invalid." ”
"Okay, Mr. Lei, you set a time, and I will coordinate time to participate in this important meeting. ”
Lei Jun smiled and said, "How about half past four?"
"No problem. "Fang Nian should inherit it.
“......”
Strictly speaking, Fang Nian was not wrong.
The joining of the chrysanthemum factory is the most important thing for the Nuwa Alliance.
Merely......
For the other year, it really doesn't matter.
He is a mascot when he is this so-called talker.
The Nuwa alliance is very loose, and there are very few issues that need to be discussed together.
However, the Lei Army is still very particular about them, and they are quite respectful of Fang Nian.
They all communicated in advance before they came to talk to Fang Nian, giving Fang Nian the greatest choice of space and time.
Before hanging up the phone, Fang Nian said: "Just take this opportunity, I also have a small matter to discuss with you." ”
“......”
After ending the call, Fang Nian casually took a bottle of water at the bar and took two sips.
Thoughts drifted away.
The chrysanthemum factory that was once quite expected to join, now there is no feeling.
That's right.
Fang Nian is such a scumbag, only three minutes of heat.
For example, when Kang Game was on the right track, he didn't even bother to listen to the report.
Now it's about to be the turn of Nuwa's lab, which is basically on the right track.
In short, Fang Nian is such a lazy dog who has to be arrogant.
Walking back to the office area, the conference call over there was over.
Fang Nian swept his eyes and asked casually: "Is it settled?"
Wen Ye replied: "Bai Ze, but what Mr. Guan means is that the products produced in the laboratory must not be called this name!"
"Oh. "Fang Nian doesn't matter.
As he spoke, Fang Nian had already walked to Lu Weiyu's workstation.
With a sincere face, he said: "Mr. Lu, discuss something, I plan to let you connect with the internal members of the Nuwa Alliance instead of me, no problem, right?"
Lu Weiyu wanted to object, but remembered last night's words in her mind, and responded hard: "I'll work hard." ”
"There's a conference call in an hour, you come with me, and I'll introduce you to the CEOs of the member companies. ”
Fang Nian flew fast.
"There won't be much going on, it's the same as before, after all, I'm an alliance speaker, so I have to get involved. ”
"By the way, you also need to talk to them about market research. ”
Hearing Fang Nian say this, Lu Wei said that he understood: "Okay." ”
“......”
There are two reasons why Lu Weiyu was pushed out.
One is that Fang Nian is really lazy.
Want to make more boring time to think about more and more boring questions.
The second is that after weighing the annual meeting, Fang wanted to let Lu Weiyu experience a sense of accomplishment as much as possible.
can help Lu Weiyu get rid of her inferiority complex in disguise.
After all, the relationship between husband and wife also needs to be operated occasionally.
............
At 4:30, the Nuwa Alliance conference call was held on time.
All parties accessed by phone, exchanged a few words of greeting, and got straight to the point.
Huang Xiujie was the first to speak: "The strength of the chrysanthemum factory in communication has been known to all over the world. ”
"IDEOS, a popular mobile phone with Google branding and Android 2.2 released in Germany last month, has mature functions at the communication level, and supports HSPA3g and WiFi at the same time.
The addition of chrysanthemum factories should help improve the underlying communication protocol of the Nuwa system. ”
“......”
Shen Wei and Chen Mingyong also expressed their simple opinions and expressed their support for the chrysanthemum factory to join.
Finally, there is the Thunder Army.
"I also support Juchang to join, which is also the reason for the establishment of the Nuwa Alliance, which is still in an absolutely weak position in the global smartphone field;
The current technical capabilities of Nuwa system laboratories are obvious to all, and from this aspect, it doesn't matter whether there is a chrysanthemum factory or not;
However, the laboratory also has a weakness, lacking some patents for basic technologies, the most prominent of which is the communication level. ”
It's a fact.
At present, the world is still in the era of 3G popularization, and the 4G standard has not yet been finalized.
Even if the 4G standard is all produced by cutting-edge investment, it cannot bypass some existing patents.
The chrysanthemum factory does have an advantage in this aspect.
However, when Lei Jun mentioned the patent, some thoughts flashed through Fang Nian's mind.
Then I heard Lei Jun's voice: "Mr. Fang, what is your opinion?"
"Yes, the progress of the Nuwa system after the handover to the front line of Mr. Fang is amazing, Mr. Fang, your opinion is the most important. ”
“......”
Fang Nian said with a smile: "I have no opinion, everyone just treats me as a mascot." ”
“......”
Everyone has no opinion on the chrysanthemum factory's application to join.
But the franchise fee also has to be discussed.
This part of the fee is to be given to the Nuwa System Laboratory.
The previously determined standard is a single payment of 20 million + 10% of the total authorization fee for the year.
Originally, this was no problem, but what everyone considered at that time was that the promotion of the Nuwa system would not be very fast.
Even......
Members of the alliance also have their own PlanBs.
Except that Xiaomi is more determined.
Meizu may have just been the first to test the waters.
But now the excellence of the 'Nuwa' version 1 is well known, and the chrysanthemum factory has applied to join, but the Nuwa system laboratory has not yet begun to authorize.
"I don't think it's better to calculate the expenses according to the expenses of the Nuwa System Laboratory so far. Shen Wei proposed.
In the end, everyone agreed.
Fang Nian briefly talked about the expenditure of the Nuwa System Laboratory.
As soon as the words fell, Chen Mingyong sighed: "Mr. Fang is really courageous!"
This investment can burn an excellent smartphone that can be sold, and the result is only the first version of a commercially available operating system?
However, in this way, everyone's confidence in 'Nuwa' is also stronger.
The final decision is 2000+ 10% of the expense.
The cost of this part is calculated according to 110 million.
In other words, if Juchang still insists on joining the Nuwa Alliance, it needs to pay a membership fee of 31 million.
If you don't agree, forget it.
Anyway, the chrysanthemum factory also wanted to keep a low profile, so it didn't make it public.
Moreover, this matter must follow the principle of mutual consultation between the two parties.
It is impossible to enjoy the final results directly because the chrysanthemum factory has technical accumulation.
After discussing this matter, Fang Nian hurriedly launched Lu Weiyu: "The Nuwa System Laboratory belongs to cutting-edge innovation, and in the future, the non-core affairs will be connected to my side, and Lu Weiyu and General Manager Lu will be in charge, everyone has no opinion, right?"
"Nope. Lei Jun took the lead.
Others have no opinion either.
That's how it came for more than two months.
They also let the rest of the company connect with the Nuwa System Laboratory, and it is impossible to show the boss for the slightest thing.
The frontier is still sufficient, let the CEO of a company take the lead.
Taking advantage of this conference call, Fang Nian asked Lu Weiyu to officially introduce himself.
And directly put forward the market research affairs: "...... Nuwa System Lab does not directly intervene in the market, but the system is for end users, and you need to refer to the market research results. ”
This is a necessary reminder from the Nuwa System Lab to the members of the alliance.
After all, everyone is in the same boat.
After discussion, Lei Jun and the others finally decided to share the necessary market research data with the Nuwa System Lab, and also assisted the Nuwa System Lab in collecting the necessary market data.
Of course......
There are also those who have not yet set up a marketing department.
For example, Xiaomi.
God knows what Lei Jun thinks.
The conference call was successfully concluded.
As for whether the chrysanthemum factory will join, we have to wait for Lei Jun to negotiate with the chrysanthemum factory.
............
"Secret. ”
Fang Nian shouted as he walked towards the office area.
"Mr. Fang. ”
Wen Ye got up when he heard the sound.
Fang Nian made a gesture, and Wen Yefu sat down again.
Then, Fang Nian said in an orderly manner: "You and Mr. Lu will first organize and invite a group of experts to join the Bai Ze Chip Lab and set up an editing team similar to the Nuwa System Lab. ”
"The main thing is to ask these experts to analyze and sort out the relevant technologies involved in the design of an A4 chip that surpasses the A4 chip on Apple's iPhone 4, as well as the list of patents that cannot be bypassed. ”
"The point is to make it clear that everything that can be developed by yourself is developed by yourself, such as instruction sets, architectures and even new communication standards;
At the same time, we will sort out all the academic research projects invested in by cutting-edge projects, filter them according to the list of developable technologies, and then tap the academic team separately to invest in more in-depth research. ”
"Some projects can be directly handed over to the Institute of Frontiers. ”
Wen Ye wrote them down one by one.
Lu Weiyu thought for a moment and asked, "Generally, the patents that can't be bypassed are all foreign related companies and institutions, right?"
"That's why it's important to get a long-term mandate based on the checklist. Fang Nian sighed, "After all, it is the accumulation of people over the years, so we can only prepare early." ”
Wen Ye's lips moved slightly, and then he said stiffly: "Mr. Fang, isn't the step a little big." ”
"Although I don't understand chip design, I have an understanding of global smartphone chips, and Apple's A4 basically represents a kind of pinnacle ......"
"We are starting from scratch and we want to be as autonomous as possible......"
"It's comparable to the pinnacle in one breath, isn't it...... It's not too realistic. ”
Fang Nian smiled: "Yes, I don't have the ability to throw direct advice in the complicated work and pressure." ”
"You have a point, but as I said earlier, I prepared early;
The actual work is done step by step, but it is best to do the preparatory work such as patent licensing, so as not to be in a hurry and a bunch of moths. ”
After hearing Fang Nian's words, Lu Weiyu on the side smiled and said, "Since everything has been said here, Fang Zong might as well talk about Bai Ze's preliminary development detailed plan, right?"
Hearing this, Wen Ye and Liu Xi looked at Fang Nian one after another.
Seeing this, Fang Young smiled and said, "Actually, there is no detailed planning. ”
"The initial plan is to try to make a chip with a public architecture, which is considered to be a run-in team and a test of the water, and it is planned to take 6~9 months to carry it out. ”
"It will use the same as Apple's A4 chip, which comes from arm's mature instruction set and architecture, mainly to give investors a little market confidence. ”
After a pause, Fang Nian said: "With the Nuwa Alliance, there should not be no market, as long as the performance and other aspects can meet the standard." ”
"After establishing market confidence, we will gradually start to make self-developed chips with independent instruction sets and independent architectures;
After all, just the instruction set, the frontier project has now invested in five research projects with different academic directions, and there is nothing to be left with. ”
"I hope that this generation of products will be successfully taped out and finally put on the table. ”
After listening to Fang Nian, Lu Weiyu, Wen Ye, and Liu Xi didn't have any ideas.
The plan is steady.
It's simple, but it's all about it.
But......
After all, it's hardware, and there will definitely be accidents and the like.
In the end, it is nothing more than a matter of funding.
So there's not much to say.
............
On the 12th, Juchang finally decided to join the Nuwa Alliance in a low-key manner.
also paid 31 million fees without any delay.
After signing the corresponding contract, Nuwa System Lab immediately opened the core code sharing right to Juchang.
The rules of the alliance were actually quite interesting in the first place.
Member companies can share the core code of the system, propose modifications, and conduct a certain degree of in-depth customization on their own.
But don't share the code with partners.
At the same time, it cannot be directly equipped with mobile phones for external sales.
If you want to sell.
Yes, pay first.
This is the reason why Fang Nian was willing to reluctantly agree to it at the beginning.
The price of the release of 'Nuwa' 1 was huge and unexpected, including Lei Jun.
The basic fee is 110 million, and the subsequent fee needs to be paid 150 million.
260 million burned in less than two months.
It does not include Xiaomi's upfront investment.
This is also the reason why Chen Mingyong directly said that Fang Nian was bold on the conference call.
At the same time, it is also the reason why Juchang has firm confidence in joining the Nuwa Alliance.
also made everyone more agree with Lei Jun's original statement-
'Nuwa' can only be commercialized if it is handed over to Fang Nian.
The core affairs contact person initially sent by the chrysanthemum factory is not Mr. Ren, the chairman of the chrysanthemum factory, but a person who is not yet well-known, named Yu Dadong.
Anyway, Lu Wei has never heard of it at all.
It's just that after the expenses were transferred to Nuwa's laboratory, Lu Weiyu, who was driving, said to Fang Nian with a proud face: "Sir, I really have everything in mind." ”
"Nuwa's laboratory has to apply for 30 million yuan on the front foot, which has put a certain amount of pressure on the frontier, but I didn't expect that the money will enter the laboratory in a blink of an eye. ”
Seeing this, Fang Nian smiled: "This is really not something I thought about, it can only be said to be a coincidence." ”
"But it's not surprising that some companies will be interested in joining. ”
“......”
The two were from Yangpu to the Nuwa laboratory in Zhangjiang.
Fang Nian wanted to see the development of the laboratory.
It just so happened that the chrysanthemum factory called the franchise payment.
Originally, Frontier had planned to allocate 30 million yuan to the laboratory, which saved an expense.
It's pretty good.
When Daben drove into Zhangjiang Software Park, Fang Nian's phone rang.
After connecting, I learned that it was Mr. Ren from the chrysanthemum factory.
The two exchanged a few words.
Fang Nian expressed his hope to have the opportunity to consult with Ren Dong in person.
Mr. Ren said that he was looking forward to Mr. Fang's visit and would definitely wait for him.
After ending the call, Fang Nian, accompanied by Lu Weiyu, walked into the Nuwa System Laboratory......
