Chapter 179: Children Make All Choices
Kutaragi Ken's eyes widened, his mouth open, and he stared at Su Yuanshan for three seconds.
Then he closed his mouth and quickly regained the composure and composure that a Sony vice president should have.
Although his current role is General Manager of Sony Electronic Entertainment, the technology field has also been in the TV and digital direction. But at the same time, as the vice president of the group, he will naturally look at the overall situation of the entire group.
He doesn't know much about the technology of lithium (ion) batteries, but he still knows the difficulties of lithium batteries. Now, although the lithium battery group claims to have launched a commercially available lithium battery, and is even actively preparing to formulate standards, the high cost and not "then" safe performance make it more symbolic than the actual commercial significance.
Within Sony, the lithium battery team led by Dr. Kazunori Ozawa still has a very high status - to be able to achieve this kind of innovative results, both in terms of the future direction and the overall image of Sony, it is a great contribution.
For example, Yuanxin, didn't it see Sony's success and plunged into the field of lithium-ion batteries?
After working with Yuanxin for so long, Jiu Tara Mu Ken knew that Su Yuanshan was not sure of things and would not make a decision easily-so he was surprised.
However, Kutaragi Ken immediately realized that there should be no breakthrough in Yuanxin, they were just lucky.
- Otherwise, why did Su Yuanshan exchange a full set of mobile phone plans?
......
"Mr. Su......" Kutaragi Ken pondered for a few seconds, and said slowly: "I don't know what you want in exchange?"
Su Yuanshan has been paying attention to Kutara Mujian, and after he knew that this person finally missed the throne of Sony's successor, he was also sighed by a group of fans. This shows that in addition to the digital and entertainment fields that he has been working in, he also has a certain global vision.
Looking at Kutaragi Ken's performance, Su Yuanshan determined that Kutaragi Ken should know something about Sony's other affairs.
This is very good, I have the best relationship with Kutaragi Ken, and it is much easier to say......
Su Yuanshan smiled and said, "It is the current full set of lithium battery technology." ”
Kutaragi Ken was stunned, and immediately subconsciously shook his head: "Susan, this is impossible. ”
"Hehe...... Su Yuanshan blinked: "You have a one-year lead in lithium at most, and your existing technology can be arranged clearly-right?"
Ken Kutaragi had to admit: "...... Yes. But we can still maintain our advantage. Sussan, a one-year advantage, in the field of science and technology, is already a big lead. It can establish Sony as the market leader. ”
“...... Are you so sure the market will accept it?"
Kutaragi Ken smiled slyly: "Susan, you are ready to exchange it with the mobile phone plan...... Of course, I will believe that the market will definitely accept it, and I believe that lithium batteries must be the direction of future development. ”
Su Yuanshan opened his mouth, stunned.
After half a ring, he couldn't help but lean in lightly.
Ken Kutaragi laughed.
From the beginning of the cooperation negotiations between the two sides a year ago, he had a deep understanding of Su Yuanshan's terrifying technical intuition. And he is keenly aware? Su Yuanshan did a lot of "homework" and predictions on Sony? It feels like he's like the chairman of Sony......
Therefore, Jiutara Mujian has always had a feeling of being seen through by Su Yuanshan.
But now, when he sees Su Yuanshan, he will also show the kind of stunned "lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot"? Kutaragi Ken couldn't be happier.
It turns out that geniuses are also laymen......
"Mr. Kutaragi...... You're too cunning. Su Yuanshan said stupidly.
"It's Susan who is in a hurry. Kutaragi Ken said with a smile.
“...... No? Yes, I don't think you will refuse. After all, your phones are in a bad way? At least a year or two behind. At the same time, in terms of lithium batteries? After we get your technology? You can immediately access the security experiment and share the data with you. ”
"In the selection of cathode and anode materials for lithium batteries, luck accounts for a large factor, and we? It just so happened that luck was a little bit better. If you'd like to share the technology with us? Then we are willing to share our luck with you. ”
Su Yuanshan said very sincerely.
Jiutara Mujian is right, Su Yuanshan is indeed a little anxious.
At present, in China, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has established a project to engage in lithium-ion batteries, but the project team has abundant funds and is said to have made some progress? The far core can't be plugged in here.
So Su Yuanshan had to wait for Cheng Peng, who had just arrived at Yuanxin, to take a few junior brothers to start from the most basic reverse analysis and start step by step.
Lithium battery, a technology that can almost be classified in the field of materials? It takes a lot of time and luck to make a breakthrough. If you can get the technology you already have a year earlier, you will have an extra year.
Heard Su Yuanshan say that he was willing to share his luck? Kutaragi's eyelids shrank slightly.
He has worked on liquid crystal projects, and knows that sometimes a breakthrough in materials? It was really pure luck.
After a few seconds of silence? Kutaragi Ken said solemnly: "Sussan? I beg your pardon for not having the right to grant you, but I will faithfully convey your wishes to the president. ”
"Thank you. ”
"But, Sussan, I'd love to ask. If you had to choose, would you choose a lithium-ion battery or a mobile device? ”
After Kutara Mujian finished speaking, he looked at Su Yuanshan with a begging look.
After Su Yuanshan was slightly stunned, he blinked his eyes slightly.
"Only children do multiple-choice questions, and adults certainly want all of them. ”
Kutaragi Ken was stunned, and then laughed heartily.
......
After the first day of the exhibition, Su Yuanshan returned to Silicon Valley first.
Chen Jing didn't return because the YX architecture on display was unexpectedly awarded a licensing contract from a newly formed chip design company called Rise.
The company, which has only been around for less than a month, currently has only about two dozen people, but it is said that the members all have experience from big companies such as Sun, IBM, and MOTO — that's what founder Lawrence said anyway.
As for why it is just a licensing contract, the founder of the other party wants to show his "family background".
It's all because this company is poor.
They would have liked to follow the old path of AMD and Cyrix, copycat Intel's x86. But later I found out that since a big guy like Xinghai had acquired Cyrix and was ready to officially enter X86, it was estimated that they wouldn't even be able to drink soup if they went in again......
Now, the excellent performance of the YX architecture and the case on the PS have allowed them to see a new direction.
At present, although there are many architectures based on the reduced instruction set, only powerpc and YX can really be put on the table.
ARM's ARM architecture is barely okay...... But it seems to be very similar to the YX's architecture, but the performance, design philosophy, and even core patents are not as good as the YX's architecture.
So the small company decided to take a go and chose to enter the camp of the YX architecture.
However, the poor ...... It's original sin.
As a newly established company, if they paid for the licensing of YX, they would have to drink the Northwest Wind.
So Lawrence found Su Yuanshan and Chen Jing, planning to increase the share a little bit to get a reduction in the authorization fee.
Then, Su Yuanshan agreed.
It is estimated that Lawrence didn't even know that in Su Yuanshan's memory, Rise, a company that once broke into the X86 field and then remained unknown, was actually very famous later.
Because the company was a bit of a convulsion, it played itself from a high-tech company to an advertising agency.
