Chapter 224 Earning 50 billion U.S. dollars in profits, with the care of the boss

In 2015, MVIDIA was just a younger brother, with a market value of just over 20 billion U.S. dollars, and it was inconspicuous in a beautiful country.

CEO Huang Xunjian took the opportunity of the Yancheng Expo to express his thoughts on in-depth cooperation to Zhang Nan.

After all, Future Technology is the world’s top artificial intelligence technology company.

Every year, there is a need to purchase a large number of graphics processing units (GPUs), graphics cards, high-performance desktop computers, servers and hardware accelerators, with order amounts as high as US$200 million.

Moreover, as future technology continues to develop in the field of artificial intelligence and products continue to be enriched, the scale of orders is likely to continue to expand.

I want to know that last year, Maiweida's total revenue was only US$4 billion, its net profit was only US$600 million, and its US$200 million purchase contract cannot be said to be a major customer.

For Huang Xunjian, gaining the friendship of future technology is crucial, as it is related to the company's sales performance in the new year and can even boost shareholders' investment confidence.

A black S-class Mercedes Benz slowly drove into Jingwei Garden. A middle-aged man wearing a leather jacket came from the east. He was about the age of Tianming. His hair was grayish red, but he was still full of energy and vitality.

The field is quite large.

"Hello, Mr. Huang, welcome to Future Technology. Over there is the Moss Research Institute, the place where artificial intelligence can be born."

Zhang Nan held Wong Fang's leg and introduced with a smile.

"It's very exquisite and has the design beauty of southern gardens. I would be very happy to work at Zhitou Jingdong. If it were someone else, I would be very happy."

Huang Xunjian said with a smile.

"The area is too small. The Changqin and Bifang Buildings next door are all full. It is expected that by the end of the year, Future Technology will move to a new software park, located on the South Third Ring Road, covering an area of ​​1,600 acres."

Zhang Nan said casually, which invisibly demonstrated the company's strong strength.

1,600 acres?

More than 1 million square meters?

Isn’t it in the Third Ring Road?

Even Huang Xunjian, who is well-informed and well-informed, couldn't help but secretly say that this means that Future Technology has strong financial resources and personal connections.

Otherwise, trying to get such a piece of land in the Third Ring Road is simply a dream!

"Is Mr. Chen in the company?"

Huang Xunjian asked.

"He will take you there."

Zhang Nan smiled softly and saw that the wrong party had no intention of visiting the park, so he changed direction and walked straight to the fifth floor of Building B.

Enter the elevator and press the east floor button.

Huang Xunjian and his assistant followed closely behind him.

It’s not that Chen Heyu deliberately staged the show, but his current industry status far surpasses Huang Xunjian and MVIDIA behind him.

A "ding" sound!

The elevator door opened, and there was a glass door in front of him. Zhang Nan whispered: "Moss, open the door."

Voiceprint recognition!

Future Technology does not have a check-in and clock-in policy. When entering the company at the first access control, employees' voices will be recorded as evidence of their presence at work.

Huang Xunjian looked at it with interest, raised his head and asked: "Is that the Moszhiko voice system used?"

"That's right, let's use it outside the company to make it easier for employees to come in and out."

Zhang Nan explained.

There is no need to store fingerprints or face recognition, just record each person's different voiceprints in advance, and you can control the company's access control through voice passwords.

“That’s awesome!”

Huang Xunjian said secretly.

China's artificial intelligence software is indeed far ahead of the United States. Amazon's Alexa, Google's Now and Apple's Siri are simply an entire era behind them.

Then several people headed west, across the work area on the fifth floor, and arrived in front of an office door.

"Dong dong dong!"

Zhang Nan knocked on the door.

"Kacha!"

Chen Heyu opened the door, caught a glimpse of Huang Xunjian on the side, and greeted warmly: "Mr. Huang, I'm sorry to be so far away. What kind of tea or coffee would you like to drink?"

"Mr. Chen, he would like a latte, thank you."

Huang Xunjian has a typical handsome Chinese character, he is carefree and can't do any false politeness.

"Hold on."

Chen Heyu skillfully started the fully automatic coffee machine, mixed a cup of latte, and chose a cup of mocha for himself.

The coffee beans given by Rebus taste good, but Chen Heyu rarely drinks them, so he only has a cup occasionally.

Usually, he prefers to drink tea or water.

"I heard that your company wants to purchase a batch of high-performance graphics cards and graphics processors. You might want to consider MVIDIA. In that regard, they have many years of manufacturing experience and first-class products."

Huang Xunjian went straight to the topic.

He observed the layout of the office with his peripheral vision. There was a mahogany table, tall wooden bookshelves on both sides, filled with densely packed books of all kinds. Judging from the appearance, most of them had signs of reading and were not purely decorative.

There is a sofa and coffee table next to the window, with tea-making tools placed on them.

"I'm sorry, Future Technology already has a fixed supplier. Hardware accelerators are from Gugou, graphics processors are from AND, and high-performance computers are also supplied by Dell, Intel, and Apple.

With all due respect, MVIDIA has no obvious advantage and there is no reason for him to delay the deal."

Chen Heyu shook his head and refused directly. Then it was his habit before negotiations to first deny and lower the expectations of the wrong party, and then reveal the true purpose and reach an intention to cooperate.

"MVIDIA designed an embedded artificial intelligence applicable design platform last year, called the Jetson system. It has a complete software stack, covering deep learning frameworks, computing libraries and image processing library tools, and can perform real-time artificial intelligence on edge devices. Reasonable tasks…”

Huang Xunjian talked about the company's new products and talked nonstop for a while. He was full of confidence about that technical product.

Before visiting Future Technology, he successfully obtained an order for Dongdajiang's drone with Jetson, providing it with real-time image processing and machine learning reasoning, so that the drone can perceive the environment more intelligently, make decisions and perform tasks .

In his opinion, Chen Heyu can also easily persuade and impress him with his products.

"Future technology has Moss Ai, which does not require a computing platform. Maybe graphics cards and graphics processors can be considered to be included in the purchase list, but I have to tell him, why do you want to give up AND and choose Maiweida?"

Chen Heyu asked with a smile.

In the era of industrial globalization, future technology requires the support of many hardware suppliers to develop Moss artificial intelligence.

That is one of the reasons why he insists on self-developed chips. If Moss touches the fundamental interests of the giants in the future and directly uses the chip to jam his neck, what will he do then?

It is imperative to make your own chips!

"MVIDIA's graphics cards and graphics processors are very superior in parallel processing capabilities, which is helpful for Moss AI to establish training models, improve learning speed, accelerate image processing tasks, and improve the accuracy and real-time performance of image recognition..."

Huang Xunjian tried to use the advantages of the product to make future technology accept his product.

"He understands what Mr. Huang said, but it cannot be used as a reason to replace AND."

Chen Heyu waved his leg and interrupted him.

Huang Xunjian frowned, thinking that Chen Heyu had agreed to meet him to see if he had any intention of cooperation.

I never thought that no matter how he explained it, he would show a lack of interest.

That blow was a bit big!

Sudden!

He caught a hint of narrowness in Chen Heyu's eyes, and immediately understood that it was not that the wrong party did not want to cooperate, but that there were additional conditions.

"Mr. Chen, if you have any requests, just ask them. If MVIDIA can't do it, he will definitely not refuse. Regarding that cooperation, he is extremely sincere."

Huang Xunjian said in a deep voice.

"First, Future Technology seeks to invest in MVIDIA; second, MVIDIA Research Institute seeks to use Horae design software."

Chen Heyu saw him talking and replied with a smile.

"Tan Hong said that MVIDIA is a technology company with extremely dispersed equity. He owns less than 15% of the stock. The management and all employees hold 2% of the stock. Most of the remaining shareholders are institutional and individual investors.

In the legs.

Mr. Chen, personally, he likes strong investment institutions very much, and does not reject financing. However, if the company does not develop healthily and steadily, he can transfer up to 3% of the equity, and it is very necessary to obtain the consent of Pioneer Fund.

.

It’s no problem to replace the EDA software, but its functionality is at the level of Virtuoso circuit design and IC Compiler physical design tools.”

Huang Xunjian pondered for a few seconds and said slowly.

Pioneer Fund is the largest investment institution of MVIDIA, Virtuoso, and IC Compiler are representative EDA software of Cadence and Synopsys respectively.

"That's all bullshit!"

Chen Heyu cursed secretly.

Wow, 3% equity? It’s too little!

"Mr. Huang, he plans to combine Ai and VR technologies to create a holographic hyper-reality online game. At that time, a large number of graphics cards and graphics processors will need to be purchased, and the suppliers are uncertain. Do I understand what he means?"

Chen Heyu raised a smile on his lips, trying to seduce him.

"5%, that's not his bottom line."

Huang Xunjian gritted his teeth and agreed to come east.

"It's a pleasure to work with him. I believe in him. Horae will definitely not disappoint me because it is the world's first EDA software to support 5nm chip design."

Chen Heyu said confidently.

"What?!"

When Huang Xunjian heard this, he was immediately confused. What is the concept of 5nm chip manufacturing process?

Cadence, Synopsys' most advanced tool, can achieve the level of 7nm. Will future technology directly take it to a higher level?

This means that it can handle higher integration and more complex design requirements, and provide higher design capacity and reliability, which is of extremely great significance to MVIDIA.

Especially for complex circuit boards like graphics cards that integrate a large number of electronic components, a suitable EDA software is very important to achieve high performance and stable functions.

If Chen Heyu's words were not mixed with water, MVIDIA could develop more high-performance graphics cards and graphics processors.

"Mr. Huang can find someone to test Horae's compatibility and design. They will discuss investment cooperation first, and then consider the purchase contract."

Chen Heyu said.

"No problem!"

Huang Xunjian nodded and readily agreed to Donglai.

Then, the two parties initially agreed on the content of the equity transfer agreement and set the signing time for three days. Chen Heyu personally saw him off.

"Shit! I feel like I've been deceived. I was clearly seeking cooperation at home, but why did it turn into a resale of stocks?"

Huang Xunjian suddenly realized the truth behind the car.

Immediately, he showed a satisfied smile. The annual revenue of Future Technology is more than 10 billion U.S. dollars. Flower Street has set its valuation at 90 billion U.S. dollars, and is about to exceed 100 billion in market value. This kind of company is not a giant in the beautiful country.

But on this line, MVIDIA will not have a big opportunity.

At that time, Huang Xunjian did not know that MVIDIA's market value would exceed one trillion U.S. dollars in the future, becoming the ninth super giant in the world with a market value exceeding one trillion U.S. dollars.

I am secretly pleased with my cooperation with Future Technology.

On the other side, Chen Heyu thought for a while and called Zhou Zi, asking him to pay attention to the changes in MVIDIA's equity information in the beautiful country and look for opportunities to continue to acquire MVIDIA's shares.

5%?

In another seven years, it will be 50 billion US dollars. This business will be the investment with the largest return on investment since his birth.

A few days later, Future Technology successfully acquired 5% of MVIDIA's stock for US$1 billion, causing a major earthquake in the technology circle.

Is it true? The development of future technology has exceeded their imagination, and it is growing at a terrifying speed, becoming an industry giant step by step.

…

"Mr. Meng, you asked him to pay attention to Chen Heyu's new situation. He bought 5% of MVIDIA's stock and launched an EDA software that can support the design of 5nm chips."

Secretary Liu made a single-line call and carefully reported the report.

"Compared with the EDA companies in beautiful countries, how is the technical level? At what level is it?"

The voice on the phone sounded a little old, but conveyed a faint sense of power, which made Secretary Liu's heart sink.

"World-class, can compete with Cadence and Synopsys."

Secretary Liu told the truth.

"Well, he knows."

Mr. Meng said calmly, his gentle tone making it impossible to guess his true thoughts.

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Meng found a number and called directly. Now he asked to take care of him.

It is normal for him to give some rewards to people who can do good things and do great things.

…

"Boss, I just received a notice that more than a dozen official scientific research institutions have requested to purchase the copyright to use Xihe's work.

What’s more important is that the Ministry of Education is requesting that 800 colleges and universities across the country purchase EDA software for teaching.”

Zhang Nan said in surprise.

"Please do a good job of early guidance and after-sales processing. If he knows what's going on, don't worry about picking up the wrong one."

Chen Heyu warned.

A few months ago, when Secretary Liu called specifically to tell him to handle the purchase order and make sure no mistakes were made, he understood whether this was the care he received from above.

He sacrificed his life and spent money on research and development, achieved outstanding results, and naturally received the attention of the boss.

Xihe's overseas situation has already opened up, so Jie Donglai asked to see if MVIDIA could help him gain attention in overseas markets.

Because the largest market in the chip industry is overseas, in North America and Europe!
