My Return to Life

"President Guan, how are you feeling today?"

After bypassing the screen, Fang Nian swept his eyes, and asked hippies.

Guan Qiuhe raised his head upon hearing the sound and glanced at Fang Nian, his tone was neither salty nor light: "What do you mean?"

"Winter is here and there is such a good sun, I think I must be in a good mood." Fang Nian said seriously.

Guan Qiuhe lowered his lips: "It's rare that President Fang made a bend today."

She went to the World Financial Center in the morning and hurried over after lunch.

She knew what was going on today.

With eyes drooping, Guan Qiuhe calmly said: "Let's just have a meeting."

"..."

Lu Weiyu, who was behind Fang Nian, pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister He, why are you interrupting Fang Zong, watching him perform, how great it is to be a fun."

"Hey! You know Fang Nian, I didn't expect this!" Guan Qiuhe raised his eyebrows.

"..."

Everyone laughed cheerfully.

The front office is filled with cheerful air.

Wen Ye, Gu Yu, Liu Xi, and Wu Fucheng organized their materials one after another and walked to the meeting room.

Generally speaking, there are not many meetings at the frontier.

The last meeting was at the beginning of the month to discuss how to spend 3 billion.

Things that can use the meeting room are not small.

Today is no exception.

After being seated separately, there was no need for Fang Nian to roll the call, and Wen Ye reported it first.

"According to the report, the first thing is to obtain the ARM company's public version of the mobile chip architecture authorization..."

"..."

Wen Ye and Gu Yu alternately reported the content that had been sorted out again.

After listening, Fang Nian thought for a while and clicked Liu Xi's name: "Liu Xi, talk about the loan plan."

"According to asset analysis, Frontier Innovation has accumulated 600 million loans in Shanghai..." Liu Xi briefly said about the previous loan plan.

He also mentioned the loan plan for cutting-edge innovation in Luzhou: "Luzhou is currently able to lend 800 million yuan. If local resources are inclined to intervene, we need to say otherwise."

The actual investment in Luzhou has exceeded the investment in Zhangjiang.

Not only land, but also book assets and so on.

"..."

Before walking into this office, everyone knew it.

What to discuss is...

Purchase arm company mobile chip public version architecture, purchase mobile chip related international essential patent license.

The professor team of Baize Lab spent more than a month without wasting or perfunctory;

Not to keep up with the times.

Nothing on the report is unnecessary.

The patent licenses that need to be purchased are almost all patents held by foreign companies. In the field of chips, especially high-end smartphone processing chips, there are currently a large number of blanks in the mainland.

The mid-to-low-end is okay, the mid-range is barely okay, the mid-to-high-end is basically very difficult, and the high-end...

If you don't include Wanwan, it's blank.

The additional reason is...

There are almost no relevant patents currently held in China that cannot be bypassed.

This is embarrassing.

On the contrary, it is in the large field of semiconductors. Although there is no specific target this time, there are certain related manifestations in the report. Some domestic fields are still relatively top-notch.

in other words……

If the Luzhou project directly engages in IDM in one step, there is no need for this meeting.

because……

Fang Nian will use the resources at his disposal to make a purely self-research.

Even without such a large capital, it is impossible to handle the large-scale waste of resources in the early stage.

The current path is to take one step at a time, learn from the barbarians to develop skills to control the barbarians.

Capital investment is small, resource utilization is high, and the market can be used to raise research investment.

The main reason is that if the purely self-developed IDM is in place in one step, 100 billion is sprinkled with water, 200 billion is a bit of a wave, and 300 billion is heard like this...

The frontier is uncertain, and the amount of capital introduced is not enough-no capital will accompany Fang Nian's madness.

"..."

After putting the same information on the desk, Fang Nian made a simple summary: "In other words, is it best to buy arm company's public architecture authorization from the financial point of view?

If you want to buy out the necessary patent licenses at one time, what you need may be astronomical, and you can't afford it temporarily? "

Hearing Fang Nian’s question, Gu Yu nodded and replied: “Yes, obtaining patent licenses in accordance with sales commissions and other methods requires detailed discussion. There is no way to obtain more accurate data.”

"..."

Fang Nian was lost in thought.

There are no other actions.

Everyone didn't speak either, and each fell into thinking.

The question before us is simple.

The arm company itself is a manufacturer that provides IC design solutions to the world.

Obtaining the ARM company’s public architecture authorization is nothing more than a matter of money. Everyone is prepared for this, and funds are sufficient.

However, the report submitted by the professor team contains a list of essential patents related to the second step of the Baize Laboratory.

This part of the license fee is astronomical.

After a while, Fang Nian made up his mind and said: "If I want to get the arm public version structure and other necessary patent licenses in one go, do you have any plans?"

"..."

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, but they didn’t say anything.

In the end, Guan Qiuhe said: "In this case, unless you take out the billions in the frontier account and the billions in the Dangkang account, and then take out a loan of 3.5 billion, it is almost enough."

After speaking, Guan Qiuhe laughed at himself: "After all, the currency unit in foreign countries is the US dollar."

Fang Nian: "...a bit exaggerated."

But he knows this is true.

Some patent licenses are divided according to license fee + sales commission.

It's as if Microsoft can now receive hundreds of millions of dollars from Android. For example, Samsung talked about $12 per device. ①

Mainly, the patent on the design of the mobile phone chip also relates to the mobile phone baseband, which is the communication standard, which is a gadget that can be played.

For example, Qualcomm has done something that regrets it and wants to swallow.

In the past, Qualcomm licensed CDMAIP to LSI in order to resist antitrust laws.

LSI sold CDMAIP again in 2002, and the buyer authorized other companies such as MediaTek...

Later, this IP was worth a lot of money, but it did not need to give Qualcomm money.

Anyway...

In terms of communication standards, everyone understands.

Now Fang Nian means that in addition to pure chip design, he also wants to get the authorization of foreign companies in this area at one time.

After all, what cutting-edge academics invest in communication standards is a small part of the future...

…………

Fang Nian thought for a long time and calmly said: "In this way, the license purchased from the arm company is counted according to the number of years, only 5 years, and other essential patent licenses are only 5 years."

With that said, Fang Nian shot the conference table and said seriously: "With five years as the limit, if Baize Lab can't make a completely independent processing chip in five years, then this lab is fine!"

"Everyone talk about it."

After speaking, Fang Nian looked at everyone.

The meeting room went quiet.

After a while, Guan Qiuhe said: "The five-year license of the public version of the arm company is no problem. After all, it is only used for training and opening up the market according to the plan;

But in other patents, is it a bit radical? The gold content of processing chips is still very high, involving so many related fields...

After all, foreign countries have developed in this industry for decades. "

After a short pause, Guan Qiuhe added euphemistically: "As for the instruction set required by the chip, there has been no breakthrough in China so far, such as Godson."

Lu Weiyu thought about it for a moment, and then calmly said: "Can it be partially relaxed to ten years, or can it be carried out in batches?"

Wen Ye said earnestly: "Although cutting-edge academics have begun to invest in technology reserves, the basic technological breakthroughs are not very controllable, and may look good, but they cannot pass market testing. I also think it is better to partially relax them to ten years."

"..."

Everyone knows what Fang Nian said.

Among other things, the Loongson project was initiated by the Academy of Sciences.

Fang Nian does not know the details of the inside, but Fang Nian knows that Godson does not have its own instruction set and architecture so far. The MIPS architecture used privately at the beginning, and the permanent license obtained last year.

This is a project of the Academy of Sciences.

However, the operation of scientific research units is different from that of enterprises.

The core is the difference in funding.

In addition, Loongson may have a certain strategic significance, not necessarily more advanced, but it must be reliable.

However, the planning and development of Loongson and Baize Lab are different.

What Baize Lab is to do is to process chips for high-end mobile phone devices, not for computers, and there is a significant ecological difference.

Baize Lab also has the Nuwa system, which has begun to seize market share, to build an ecosystem.

Technological breakthroughs are indeed not very controllable.

However, Fang Nian believes that if there is no breakthrough in five years, there will be no play for another five years.

Because the gap in these five years is not too big, the gap in the next five years will be very big.

The process took off like a leap, first 14nm, then flew to 10nm, and then suddenly to 7nm, 5nm, 3nm.

You must know that the most high-end smart phone chips now use 45nm technology.

As the manufacturing process flies, the requirements for chip design are also rising, and the technical barriers are more serious.

After comprehensive consideration, Fang Nian finally insisted on his decision: "5 years, 5 years will determine the future."

"Aid to build the Frontier Institute is not to make them a decoration. For Baize Laboratory, the biggest constraint is no longer the domestic scientific research environment, but the funding;

Everything this year is just beginning, it seems very difficult;

So if you want to do it, you must do it all, so as not to be in a hurry over and over again. "

Seeing that Fang Nian insisted on his own opinion, Guan Qiuhe thought a little more and agreed with him: "Okay, listen to you."

She knew that Fang Nian must have other reasons to support his final determination.

Guan Qiuhe doesn't have many advantages, that is, he is willing to believe in Fang Nian in the case of disagreement and continued disagreement.

This is also the reason why Dangkang Games became a behemoth in the blink of an eye.

Guan Qiuhe didn't have any comments, so Lu Weiyu naturally stopped talking.

Wen Ye...

Wen Ye can be valued by Fang Nian, and he wants to entrust the important task of cutting-edge CEO, the biggest advantage is that he is willing to perform unconditionally.

"..."

The conference room was quiet for a while, and Fang Young smiled: "This will increase the task and difficulty of the negotiation, but it will greatly reduce the investment. It is the best of both worlds."

Hearing what Fang Nian said, Guan Qiuhe raised his brows and suddenly said, "How do I think you don't want to send money abroad for nothing?"

Facing Guan Qiuhe’s puzzled eyes, Fang Nian said frankly: “Almost, the public version of the arm is used up and it becomes waste paper. After independent research and development is completed, the so-called patent license is also a pile of waste paper.”

As he said, Fang Nian shrugged: "After seeing this astronomical cost, I thought about buying the public version of the arm structure;

Anyway, after practicing, all you have to do is self-study. If you can't get around, you have to get around. There are no conditions. "

"But just a while ago, I just saw the foreign comments reprinted in the newspaper, and I had the idea to prepare in advance. Don't let some companies be unwilling to sell the patent license when the time comes. It is better to solve it all at once."

After Fang Nian finished speaking, Wen Ye took the lead: "President Fang, why do I feel that you seem to be worried that money can't buy things?"

"Yeah, isn't it all WTO now? Most foreign countries are capitalist, and the rich is the uncle." Gu Yu also echoed.

Even Wu Fucheng thought so.

Let alone Guan Qiuhe and Lu Weiyu, who each manage a company.

Upon seeing this, Fang Nian sighed, and said earnestly: "Don't be silly, money is not easy to use in many cases, ancient and modern, China and foreign countries can be better."

Then Fang Nian looked at everyone and asked calmly: "Have you ever thought about why I want to establish Frontier, to be Nuwa and Baize."

"Being the standard makes the most money." Wen Ye blurted out.

Fang Nian stretched out his right hand and shook his index finger: "No, making rules makes the most money."

"My father and mother are not as good as my own. I used this sentence to get Xiaomi's valuation of 200 million US dollars."

"No matter what kind of social system, interests are the most fundamental. Now it's hello, me, and WTO, but if it comes to some extreme times, I hope that our country will not die too much."

"On Dangkang, I found it not challenging to make money. I thought about it for a long time, so... I created the frontier and challenged my own rules."

"..."

Although everyone thinks Fang Nian's tone of speech is very awkward.

Speaking of making money is an understatement.

The elegance when raising financing.

but……

And I have to admit that Fang Nian, who looks like a fool, actually has a charm in his bones.

The calmness of finding an ideal balance between home and country and oneself while talking and laughing is very...sultry.

"Take it far, keep talking about business."

Fang Nian shook his hand and pulled back to the topic.

"President Guan, originally I wanted to obtain authorization in the name of cutting-edge innovation, but it was obviously targeted last week, and foreign media have been deliberately exaggerating the threat of cutting-edge;

I think it's better to do it in the name of Dangkang. "

"Additionally... the investment quota for cutting-edge innovation abroad is not too high. Although the odi registration is processed, it is not as convenient as Dangkang."

After hearing this, Guan Qiuhe thought for a while: "Dangkang Games has a lot of funds in its overseas accounts, yes."

"If I don't use that money, I think it's going to the domestic banks and let them give us loans overseas." Fang Nian said calmly.

"..."

The general direction of affairs is thus settled.

More specific matters need not be discussed in meetings.

This time, as usual, Guan Qiuhe led the team and Wen Ye followed.

I will probably travel to 5,789 countries, passing through dozens of countries and regions, and plan to come back on December 24th.

After all, many countries celebrated the New Year at that time.

Not only that, but there will be a relatively large team that will follow one after another.

of course……

There are also third-party teams.

Although it is in the name of Dangkang, the personnel are from the frontier.

It is also the first serious international business trip since the establishment of Frontier. The first one started in one month, which is quite exaggerated...

…………

Later, Guan Qiuhe arranged related affairs.

The plane leaves the country at nine o'clock in the evening.

The loan is not something that can be anxious for one or two days. There are so many people in Dangkang. First, go through the process slowly. No, it is not impossible to think of a solution.

Wen Ye was naturally with Guan Qiuhe.

This time, Zhao Qian, security guards and the first batch of administrative staff were accompanied.

The main goal of Guan Qiuhe and Wen Ye is to complete the cooperation memorandum, and the remaining specific matters have to be handled jointly by a third-party team and cutting-edge innovation administrators.

It is the division of labor and cooperation model anyway.

Guan Qiuhe is very familiar with the road.

When Guan Qiuhe arranged his affairs, Fang Nian also got Pengcheng's new progress from Lu Weiyu.

Called Gu Yu and said: "Give you an interesting task~www.ltnovel.com~ Tomorrow you will contact this person as a cutting-edge angel investor.

With that said, Fang Nian gave Gu Yu a contact method.

"Invest 5 million to his company. As for whether you want him to come to Shencheng, or something else, you decide by yourself. You can consult Liu Xi and Wen Mi for investment details."

After Fang Nian finished speaking, Gu Yu was pleased with joy: "Really?"

Fang Nian wondered: "Are you so happy? Wen Mi often does it."

Gu Yulian said: "President Fang, that was before the 91 Wireless merger, right? The current frontier angel is not the previous frontier angel!"

"Hey, Mr. Gu," Fang Nian joked.

He didn't mind Gu Yuhu's fake tiger's might.

It doesn't matter if investors have a higher profile.

After all, most of the companies that can be invested by cutting-edge angels currently have hundreds of billions of capital.

Even if it is Bi Fangyun and Zhongming Bird Net Security.

That is, there are several small game companies that do not have this possibility.

Although she was a little excited, Gu Yu did not forget what was going on. She reported to the domestic semiconductor companies to sort out.

A detailed list was given.

"President Fang, I personally think we can contact Spreadtrum first."

①: It is said that there is a minimum of 8 US dollars, because Android from Linux uses Microsoft's essential patents. It is rumored that in 2010, Microsoft earned more on Android than Google, and Google only earned it after the GMS system was established. Big money, that's it...outrageous.
