Chapter 259: 100 billion in licensing fees, half of the world’s intellectual prosperity!

In 2015, there were three semiconductor companies in the world with 14nm process technology, and Sanxing occupied a leading position.

As of the end of September, Sanxing's monthly peak production capacity was equivalent to 2.64 million 8-inch silicon wafers, with a market share of 15.5%, ranking first in the world.

In other words, they don't need to rely on others to do the chip foundry business. Therefore, Chen Heyu took the bargaining chip in Park Changcan's lap and had some expectations.

"Mr. Chen, is SiP packaging technology sufficient?"

Park Changcan tentatively said.

"If that denies Sanxing's greatest sincerity, then Mr. Park, please leave and don't send me away!"

Chen Heyu raised his eyelids, smiled contemptuously and said, he is not that easy to fool.

SiP packaging is a multi-chip packaging technology. Electronic components are still arranged on the packaging substrate in a planar manner, and even the Fan-Out packaging process is no longer available. It is a backward technical solution.

"What do you want to ask for? I just ask you to agree to authorize the Moszhiko voice system. If it's not too harsh, he is willing to help you mediate."

Pu Changcan saw him getting up and asked to leave. He even went to bow to him and said sincerely.

In my mind, I was cursing the strategic consultants hired by the company with high salary, all of them are stupid. Shanhai Microelectronics can mass-produce 16nm chips, so it naturally does not require SiP packaging technology.

That thing must have been thrown to Huaxin and Jiangdian Technology before it would be regarded as a treasure.

"In exchange for 3D V-NAND technology, he might consider it."

Chen Heyu thought for a while and said with a smile.

"Axiba, that's impossible!"

When Pu Changcan heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face instantly, his head shook like a drum, and his reaction was extremely strong.

3D V-NAND is a flash memory technology exclusively developed by Sanxing to improve storage capacity and performance.

Traditional flash memory is based on a two-dimensional planar structure (2D), while 3D V-NAND technology greatly reduces electronic leakage and interference problems by stacking storage layers in the vertical direction, thereby achieving faster read and write speeds.

, lower power consumption, more stable data stability.

With that technology, Sanxing occupies 33.6% of the global flash memory industry's market share, with annual revenue of US$10 billion.

Park Changcan didn't even need to ask the headquarters for instructions, he knew that he wouldn't get permission at all!

"Mr. Park, let me think about it this way. Sanxing's global smart phone shipments are about 300 million units. If your company agrees, he can give you the same licensing fee pricing as Apple, saving Donglai's expenses every year.

There are tens of billions, which is much higher than the revenue of the flash memory business."

Chen Heyu raised his eyebrows and said calmly.

"Mr. Chen, please change the condition. He can't agree to that request, and the headquarters will not approve it."

Park Changcan said firmly.

Chen Heyu was silent, his smile subdued, and he looked at the wrong person intently. Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be fake, Minghong was indeed in trouble.

"Why."

He sighed slightly, pondered for a moment, and said loudly: "Can I just ask for authorization for 3D V-NAND flash memory technology?

He will indicate in the contract that the memory manufactured using this technology will only be used in Qidong Company’s products, and he will ensure that he will not compete with Sanxing in the flash memory market.”

Authorization?

Not entering the commercial track?

Park Changcan pondered whether he should believe Chen Heyu or not.

In recent years, with the booming development of computer and Internet companies, the demand for flash memory has increased. For AI companies like Future Technology, the annual purchase cost of optical memory exceeds US$500 million.

Is the company willing to give up that piece of fat?

He can't be sure!

"He will give feedback to the headquarters first. It's hard for him to judge whether he can get a permit."

Park Changcan said in a deep voice.

Licensing cooperation is full of risks. Even if Chen Heyu abides by the agreement, but leaks the technical principles to a third party, it will be a big trouble for Sanxing.

After all, just by controlling that exclusive patented technology, Sanxing can continue to make huge profits, and it will cost 100 billion U.S. dollars in ten years. Who is willing to give up easily?

"I should be clear that Future Technology, as an artificial intelligence company, needs a large amount of storage devices to support the training of AI models. Intel and Hesly will increase the supply price by 3% next year for various reasons, which makes him very

accurate."

Chen Heyu shrugged, looking as usual, and made up an excuse.

"Mr. Chen, Sanxing's enterprise-class memory quality is well-known in the industry, and we are happy to become a supplier of future technologies.

If the headquarters does not agree to exchange 3D V-NAND flash memory technology, he will also use his connections and influence to help you get the best memory quote."

Pu Changcan nodded.

"Oh? Thank you very much."

Chen Heyu said noncommittally, "If you believe it or not, then let's deny his reasons."

In fact, if he has system support, he needs to get the technical documentation of 3D V-NAND. After he understands it thoroughly, he can easily bypass the contract restrictions by changing to a vertical stacking architecture and take the opportunity to enter the flash memory market.

And frankly speaking, the size of this market is not high. Ten years later, the global flash memory industry's total annual revenue will be 50 billion U.S. dollars. After excluding all costs and expenditures, the remaining profits will not be exceeded.

Keep it in mind.

The reason why we want to obtain that technology is to prevent Shanhai Microelectronics from joining the ranks of cutting-edge chip technology in the future. Intel and Hesslite will hinder us behind the scenes. Of course, we must be prepared to avoid being controlled by others.

On the other hand, the Future Technology Game Division spent a year using Moss artificial intelligence to create the same VR holographic game as "Mysterious Resurrection" and has initially completed the development and production.

But there are three thresholds that stand in the way of being online!

First, stable and reliable storage space can provide faster data reading and loading speeds, reducing delays and loading times during the game;

Second, there are technical barriers to brain-computer interfaces. If biochips are not something he currently dares to dream of, he can ask Professor Strong to make breakthroughs in sensors, and there is a chance to bring the gaming helmets in science fiction movies into reality;

Third, 4G network coverage and broadband speed, otherwise players will not be able to run as fast as ants when entering the game, and there will be no sense of experience.

Immediately, Park Changcan left with his assistant.

He Tingbo asked doubtfully: "Boss, the market size of the flash memory industry is not large. There are a large number of suppliers both at home and abroad. There is no need to do it yourself, right?"

"I'll find out later."

Chen Heyu waved his legs without explaining too much. He glanced at the time and made an appointment with several young people in the R&D center to have lunch together.

Scenes like that have become the norm after he entered the R&D center.

There are fewer and fewer people like Ding Xiucheng who "take credit for his work", because the most basic chip engineers are qualified to report the situation to Chen Heyu at any time. Of course, there is no escape for those who don't have real materials. form, gradually being eliminated.

Just as Dongwu woke up from his lunch break, Chen Heyu received another call from Zhang Nan. Senior executives from Huayao and Lian Xiangshiwang were at the Future Technology Headquarters, seeking to obtain overseas authorization for the Moss second-generation voice system.

"As long as the licensing price is no less than 140 Chinese dollars per unit, I'll make my decision."

Chen Heyu replied.

After giving Rice Technology a two-year development window, he can't afford to struggle with money. There's no reason why Apple should be given to Huayao and Lianxiang, but not Huayao and Lianxiang?

What's more, Hua Yao had just placed a US$4 billion chip order with Shanhai Microelectronics and reciprocated the favor. That little bit of face could not be denied to Bao Jianbai.

"Okay, boss."

Zhang Nan said with a smile.

For those who want to know, according to a report issued by the well-known research company Katon, among the top ten smart phones in the world in terms of shipments, Sanxing, Apple, Huayao, Lianxiang and Daomi account for half of them.

Apple has already taken over, and Sanxing, Huayao, and Lianxiang are rushing to send money. After all negotiations are completed, half of the smart phones will be equipped with Moss in 2016, and it is expected to exceed 700 million units.

Based on a rough calculation of 140 Chinese dollars, it is close to 100 billion Chinese dollars in revenue!

That's not the reason why Weisoft is desperately chasing future technology. The profits in that area are too tempting.

Moreover, the range of mobile devices and household appliances that Zhike voice technology can be equipped with is very wide.

Is that a huge market worth hundreds of billions of dollars!

…

"Huayao announced that it will launch special editions of P8, P8 Max and Mate S in overseas markets in December, equipped with Moss AI voice system!"

"Lian wants to show off its new attempt in Tianzhu. The Vibe P1 flagship model, combined with the Moss system, may fully seize the overseas market!"

"..."

Seeing this situation, Pu Changcan couldn't walk anymore and rushed to report to the headquarters.

"Trash! He will come to China in person tomorrow. I will make an appointment for him."

Pei Zhendong, president of Sanxing Mobile Business, sternly reprimanded.

"Miannie, I'm very sorry to disappoint you. He will help you arrange your itinerary immediately."

Park Changcan wiped the cold sweat from his face, and his consciousness tightened in certain parts of his body, as if there was a tearing pain lingering in his mind.

"Well, I don't want to make any more mistakes, otherwise he won't be able to protect me."

Pei Zhendong warned.

the next day.

Park Changcan was at the Pudong International Airport, and when he greeted his classmates obediently, he saw a short old man, wearing an expensive suit, walking out of the exit with seven or eight sturdy assistants behind him.

"Hi! President!"

Pu Changcan hurriedly lowered his head, forced out a bright smile, and greeted loudly.

"Minister Park, it seems that you are working very hard and you have lost a lot of weight."

When the old man saw Pu Changcan, his eyes lit up, he raised his dry leg and patted him gently on the shoulder.

"Burn Chief, with your leadership that time, I will definitely be able to get the authorization smoothly."

Park Changchan skillfully flattered him.

"Don't worry, he will reward me well. He will see all my efforts."

Pei Zhendong grinned.

"Ouch! I have to suffer again!"

Pu Changcan felt pain in his heart, but his expression remained as calm as ever. He still greeted him with a warm face, opened the door of the car, and saw the wrong person in the car.

A group of four luxury cars drove along the elevated highway towards Guanglan Electronic Port.

"Boss, you have a meeting this afternoon. Do you want to continue communicating with Park Changcan about authorization matters?"

Xiao Yao beside her reminded in a low voice that she was originally He Tingbo's assistant, but when her boss took advantage of her, she was mistakenly arranged to become Chen Heyu's new assistant.

"How long?"

Chen Heyu asked casually.

"Fifteen minutes."

Xiao Yao immediately replied that all work planning processes are in her head.

"He knows. Remind him again in ten minutes."

Chen Heyu said.

His super mental strength allowed him to maintain a high degree of concentration, but it also had a drawback. He often forgot to eat on time, so he asked He Tingbo for an assistant.

After that, I immersed myself in the experiment and started analyzing the materials.

"Boss, it's time."

Xiao Yao spoke again.

"Come on, come with him."

Chen Heyu smiled and led the people towards the conference room, with the purpose of cultivating Xiao Yao.

Generally speaking, the boss's assistant will understand the company's operating mechanism better than the middle-level managers. Over time, if they are assigned to the department, they will be able to perform the corresponding tasks well.

With continued expansion, a building adjacent to Shanhai Microelectronics was also rented by Donglai.

In addition, the space of the constantly new wafer production lines, manufacturing workshops, and software parks was dwarfed by the space. He asked Secretary Zhou to take a piece of land for science and education, and planned to build a new headquarters for Shanhai Microelectronics, including three major R&D centers.

There is a very large chip factory.

The expected production capacity will reach 20 million wafers, which is more than twice that of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

Pushing open the door, Chen Heyu saw Pu Changcan and his party walking honestly. The person at the front was a shriveled little old man, with a bit of... wretchedness in his temperament?

"Mr. Chen, let me introduce you to Yidong, the president of Sanxing Group's global mobile business, Mr. Pei Zhendong."

Park Changcan introduced with a smile.

"Nice to meet you!"

Chen Heyu nodded slightly and exchanged simple greetings.

"Mr. Chen, your request..."

Pei Zhendong took the initiative to stir up the topic.

"Sorry, he thinks that should be called a prerequisite for cooperation, not a request."

Chen Heyu frowned and interrupted the wrong person unhappily.

"Um...well, as you wish, the headquarters basically agrees to authorize 3D V-NAND to be used by Future Technology, but your company needs to sign a confidentiality agreement. If the technology is leaked, you will face compensation of 5.67 trillion Korean coins.

.”

Pei Zhendong was stunned, tried hard to swallow his anger, and said in a low voice.

56.7 trillion Korean coins?

Chen Heyu was stunned for a moment, how much does that thing cost?

"Mr. Chen, do you want 50 billion U.S. dollars?"

Park Changchan added.

"Oh? No problem!"

Chen Heyu smiled and nodded.

"Sanxing also has to sign the same agreement. If there are artificial intelligence products that are 30% identical to Moss on the market, it will compensate Future Technology 50 billion US dollars."

He said slowly with cold eyes.

"That's not the case! Everyone knows that the core code framework of Moss Ai is encrypted, but that doesn't mean that no company can develop similar products. Why should Sanxing be asked to bear that risk?"

Pei Zhendong stood up suddenly, slapped the table and roared.

"The development of flash memory technology cannot remain stagnant forever. Will any company develop a technology similar to 3D V-NAND and have to lose money? What the hell?"

Chen Heyu curled his lips and replied rudely.

"Lord Fengcai, you go first."

Pu Changcan comforted him, and then turned to apologize to Chen Heyu: "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, but Mr. Pei couldn't be more excited."

Chen Heyu narrowed his eyes and saw the tricks of the two. One was trying to be a red face, the other was trying to test his bottom line.

"Then let's engage in licensing cooperation on equal terms. One year's rights to use Moss AI in exchange for one year's 3D V-NAND technology license."

Pei Zhendong's eyes were narrowed with a cunning look.

"Don't want to pay?"

Chen Heyu smiled, even if I have to pay for apples, who am I? He immediately pointed to the door.

Pei Zhendong and Park Changcan's expressions suddenly changed, and they looked at each other wrongly. Minghong could not suppress future technology.

"The authorization fee is 145 yuan per unit. As for the authorization details, he agrees with Mr. Pei's suggestion. There is no room for negotiation on anything else."

Chen Heyu said lightly.

Bangzi likes to play tricks, so he has to pay a certain price, and raising prices is not his last-minute whim.

“140 yuan per unit! Sanxing won’t pay a dime more!”

Pei Zhendong's cheeks trembled, obviously angry, and he replied in a deep voice.

"150 yuan!"

Chen Heyu said lightly.

"Assi! He..."

Pei Zhendong tugged on his tie and was about to curse.

"Lord Burnt Commander, be careful what you say!"

Pu Changcan immediately blocked the way and whispered in the wrong person's ear to persuade him.

Chen Heyu let the two of them sing the double act, looking at the scenery outside the window casually, waiting patiently.

Pei Zhendong glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that Chen Heyu was unmoved. After a long silence, he finally gave in and said: "Mr. Chen, the price of 150 yuan, he really can't explain it to the company. Can it be the same price as Apple?"

"Since Mr. Pei is in such a difficult situation, he might as well cancel the cooperation. In fact, he doesn't know much about flash memory technology and is not very interested in it."

Chen Heyu smiled softly and stood up.

"He promised!"

Pei Zhendong became anxious when he saw this and shouted in panic.

The business volume in Dahua District is sluggish, and the overseas market is facing the encirclement and suppression of companies such as Apple, Rice, and Lean. If he does nothing, he will have to leave the island to find someone else.

"Mr. Pei, will you embarrass me?"

Chen Heyu joked.

"No, no."

Pei Zhendong shook his head repeatedly, he was much better behaved that time.

"Oh! That's fine. He doesn't like to force others to make things difficult for him."

Chen Heyu said slowly.

Hearing Pei Zhendong gnash his teeth, he dared not speak out in anger, and all his grievances went into his stomach. He glanced at Pu Changcan, preparing to reward him severely in the morning.

In the week following Donglai, Future Technology and Sanxing reached an intention to cooperate and officially announced it to the outside world.

at the same time!

A new company called Shanhai Storage was quietly established!

In the Q4 quarter of 2015, a large number of smart phones equipped with Moss Ai system were unveiled one after another!

Loyal Apple users were surprised to find that the original Siri assistant was replaced by China's Moss artificial intelligence!

With the joint efforts of the five major manufacturers, the influence of Moss and Future Technology has gradually spread around the world.

Some home appliance giants are beginning to take aim at Moss Ai, thinking of combining it with the voice assistant function to create an advanced fifth-generation smart home!

Chen Heyu’s licensing fees are getting bigger and bigger!
