Chapter 203 The Method of Compromise

() Relying on its own strong strength, inter has slowly started to receive some orders. Although the price is high, but because their quality is really good, companies such as Motorola and Vodafone are also using their chips.

But Xiao Qi knows that Inter's focus is always on computers. This huge market of 200 million units per year is 90% of Inter's focus, and he will never give up.

Therefore, even in 2013, Inter has not made great achievements in the mobile phone industry. It has to be said that their innovation changes are too slow and dull.

"I'm sorry, the gpu with Imagination Technology is something I have already decided, and I can't change it." Xiao Qi looked at the four of them seriously, "I like the best products, such as your company's CPU, such as the GPU of Imagination Technology , such as Corning's tempered glass and so on, rather than just making do with it, this is an insult to all high-tech technicians."

"it is good!"

Percy couldn't help but applauded.

Although he doesn't know what the result will be, he absolutely agrees with Xiao Qi's insistence on using good things and good technology to manufacture products.

Technicians are different from company managers. They are eager to use the best of everything, regardless of cost issues.

As a result, companies where technicians act as managers usually go bankrupt because they are not good at controlling costs.

This is why professional managers in Europe and the United States are so popular, handing over technology to technicians. Hand over the sales to the salesmen... In other words, hand over professional matters to professional people. Don't imagine that you can handle all the work on your own shoulders. This is the way to the company's success.

HSBC in Hong Kong is a typical example.

In 2012, when the global banking industry was in a downturn, their annual profit was as high as 25 billion Hong Kong dollars. However, as soon as this financial news came out, their stocks in European and American stock markets plummeted.

Except for some financial rules and some manipulations, the real profit of HSBC is still more than 15 billion.

But why are their stocks falling?

It's very simple, because HSBC is not only a bank. They also do insurance, car dealerships, real estate, mining...anyway, they do what makes money.

What do Europeans and Americans like best?

My favorite professional company. For example, Apple, you specialize in electronic products; Microsoft specializes in Windows, and Cisco specializes in network communications...

What do they hate the most?

I hate the kind of company that does not do its job properly and wants to do everything.

Therefore, HSBC was sadly reminded. It clearly made a lot of money, but it was cast aside by large, medium and small institutions, as well as private investors. In a few days, the stock fell by billions.

After learning from the pain, HSBC finally announced in early 2013. I will sell insurance companies, real estate companies, mining companies... and other businesses that have nothing to do with the main business of the bank, and concentrate on being my own bank. As a result, the stock price gradually rebounded.

All right.

The topic is a bit off topic.

Percy's applause did not change the minds of Rediro and Fisher, they still shook their heads and said they couldn't do it when they heard what Xiao Qi said.

"Just now I promised 10 million U.S. dollars. If you think there is any difficulty, how about I increase the patent licensing fee to 15 million U.S. dollars?" Xiao Qi looked at them leisurely and said, "Every piece Patent fees for chips. It’s not impossible to talk about it.”

The eyes of the four people in arm lit up at the same time.

Unexpectedly, with such restraint, they immediately turned up 50% of the price, which is really a big deal!

Xiao Qi also had no choice. The integration of cpu chips that can adapt to tablet computers cannot be done by MediaTek, and neither can UESTC. Arm is a unique business. Of course, the initiative is not in your hands, so you can only bite your teeth and impress them at the highest price.

Of course, smartphones and tablet computers have not yet emerged, and arm has already made Apple's iphone chips. And authorized them to produce and develop their own, but still don't know how much benefit there is in it.

So don't look at Xiao Qi spending a lot of money now, when the tablet computer becomes popular, you will find that all the effort is worth it.

It can even be said that even after the popularity of the iPhone, if Xiao Qi came to arm, the price would not be a few million to ten million US dollars, at least two to thirty million US dollars starting price, each chip does not cost you three or four dollars , is absolutely impossible.

"Fifteen million dollars!!"

Carlos can't even breathe smoothly. If the business is negotiated, he, the little manager in charge of the negotiation, will also have a great contribution.

Therefore, he looked helplessly at the deputy general manager and the general manager, expecting an "ok" from their mouths.

Of course Rediro and Fisher also want to say "ok" right away, but they are battle-tested figures after all. Knowing such an important matter, they absolutely should not decide on their own, and they have to communicate with the domestic headquarters before deciding.

So Rediro said sorry, turned and walked to another room.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Qi, who was chatting with Passy and the others about the microprocessor chip, was a little disappointed when he saw Reddy come back with a grimace.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao." Lei Diluo sighed, "What we can do is to improve the integration of any other technical aspects you proposed, except for the GPU of Imagine Technology, our head office does not agree to install it on the arm. On the cpu chip."

"I see, then I don't know if another method will work."

A person with such a high IQ like Xiao Qi, how can he only prepare one plan, and seeing that this is not enough, he immediately throws out a second plan: "You design the cpu according to my requirements, but leave the position of the gpu, the interface and Come on, let me take it back and assemble the graphics processor myself."

"That's okay?"

Patsy almost popped his eyes out in surprise.

"Why not?" Xiao Qi shrugged, "Since they don't want to do it, they can't do it well, but the reserved program connections and plans, etc., can be done according to the imaginary technology I bought... Anyway After you sell it to me, how I assemble it is my business, and you won’t sell me cpu chip technology just because I want to use imaginary technology gpu?”

Lei Diluo also felt thundered.

What Xiao Qi said is correct, arm's chip technology is open, as long as you give the authorization fee, then you can change the chip as you like, there is no problem.

If it is not allowed to be changed, isn't it the same as the inter in the past?
