Chapter 182 Cooperation and Price

There are always traces of a company's development. Like most people, Anderson is very curious about Huaxin Technology's rapid rise into a first-class semiconductor company. He hopes to find clues in Huaxin Technology.

The result disappointed him very much. The employees of this company are generally under the age of 30. Even the project manager and technical experts rarely have gray hair.

It can be said that this company did not seem to have any background or technical accumulation a few years ago. What is amazing is that their products can actually avoid patent barriers carefully arranged by their peers, which is really amazing.

When meeting Wang Anran privately, Anderson couldn't help asking: "Mr. Wang, I'm very curious, how Huaxin Technology has grown to this point, can I summarize the reasons for your genius leader?"

Wang Anran shrugged and said, "Of course, Mr. Anderson, but most people still think that we are standing on the shoulders of giants, such as Texas Instruments.

But compared to their opinion, I still prefer you, isn't it?"

Anderson smiled and said, "Wang, you are one of the few Chinese people I have ever met who knows humor. Yes, I like this!"

The cooperation between the two companies is similar to the signing of alliance agreements between the state. At the negotiating table, most of the cooperation intentions have been decided, and the disputes left behind are placed in the end.

So before the talks, it was the busiest time. After Anderson and his party visited Huaxin Technology headquarters, both parties submitted texts of their respective demands.

Wang Anran immediately convened the company's middle and senior management to discuss.

Texas Instruments’ appeal is very simple, with only three items, but the connotation is rich.

1. Texas Instruments joined the Athlon CPU instruction set architecture committee and required to become a voting member and enjoy the same veto power as Huaxin Technology.

2. Texas Instruments and Huaxin Technology share desktop processor and chipset patents, and both parties shall not charge patent authorization fees from each other.

3. Texas Instruments is willing to join the DDR Memory Association, requiring Huaxin Technology to permanently authorize the DDR technology patent, and also requires that the same rights as Huaxin Technology in the DDR Memory Architecture Committee.

Wang Anran took a sip of water, looked up and saw everyone's eyes looking at him, shook his head, and said, "Everyone has seen the demands of Texas Instruments. If you have any ideas, let me tell you about it and discuss it."

Technical director Hu Xiaomin was the first to say: "Mr. Wang, as far as I know, since the 486 processor, Texas Instruments has withdrawn from the competition in the x86 architecture. It can be said that Texas Instruments' patented technology on desktop processors was also a technology several years ago.

Compared with our Huaxin Technology patent library, it is completely unequal. I think this one is harmful to the interests of the company."

"I agree with General Hu, and Texas Instruments has too much ambitions and I think about having the same rights as us as soon as I come in.

Who will dominate the development of the Athlon CPU instruction set architecture? We want to add a new instruction set and Texas Instruments will reject it. What should we do?"

Shen Yue of the Strategic Affairs Department said: "It is a good thing for us to join the ASON CPU instruction set architecture, and we are more confident to compete with the x86 architecture. I think this principle can be decided.

As for who will dominate this architecture, it must be us, so we need more details to limit the role of Texas Instruments in the Athron CPU instruction set architecture."

Director Mo Shaohua said: "Don't forget Texas Instruments' demands and Huaxin Technology's demands. We can now clearly judge that Texas Instruments plans to re-enter the desktop processor market on the Athlon CPU architecture.

Our demand is to seek Texas Instruments, which will help us in chip processing.

It is an exchange of interests, and in the same situation as possible, to get what we want."

Wang Anran nodded, turned to look at Rebs, and saw that he had been writing and painting on his laptop.

Wang Anran said: "Mr. Lei, what do you have any opinions?"

Rebs looked around everyone, then put down the pen in his hand, looked at Wang Anran and said, "Mr. Wang, everyone, I think our expectations with Texas Instruments on the Athlon CPU instruction set should be consistent.

So I prefer to set up a common research institution with Texas Instruments on the development of CPU instruction sets, which can also avoid disputes between each other."

Technical Director Xia Liming immediately retorted: "Mr. Lei, can we eliminate disputes by establishing a common research institution? Then, can we say that we have given up independent research on the CPU instruction set!"

After saying that, Rebs' face stumbled. Why am I the CEO of Huaxin Technology? You, a department director, refuting my opinion in front of so many people, isn't it a bit too much?

Wang Anran had no expression on his face. It can be seen that Rebs still needs time to establish his prestige. At this time, it is very important for him to support him as a boss.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Wang Anran said: "Independent development is beneficial, but the disadvantage is not small. To put it bluntly, it is to build a car behind closed doors. We open the ASON CPU instruction set architecture, hoping that more and more manufacturers will join us."

Wang Anran paused for a moment, saw everyone lower their heads, took a sip of water, and continued: "The establishment of a cooperative research institution does not mean that we give up independent research. This is an opportunity for Huaxin Technology to integrate into international technology research and development.

We can learn what we want to learn from Texas Instruments, which would have been an opportunity that I could not even think of if I had been a few years ago, so I support Mr. Lei’s opinion.”

In fact, Rebs's words had long been reported to Wang Anran, and they were also affirmed by Wang Anran.

Xia Liming broke in rashly and didn't understand the situation at all. In such an occasion, can the CEO promoted by the boss talk nonsense?

A common problem for engineering men, Xia Liming can't escape the fate of first-class IQ and third-class EQ.

When Huaxin Technology was discussing Texas Instruments' appeals, Anderson was discussing the appeals submitted by Huaxin Technology in the conference room of Yanjing International Hotel.

Anderson put the paper in his hand on the table and said, "Look at it, it's all instrument systems in chip manufacturing. If there is no violation, I don't think we are more confused. As long as Huaxin Technology agrees to our demands, I think we should show our sincerity."
