Chapter 44 Kunpeng Talks at Night, Eight Hundred Tricks
Hazy night, neon streets.
When the black Mercedes-Benz passed through the bustling downtown and reached the outer suburbs, the headquarters base of Kunpeng Company also appeared in front of us.
Because there was an appointment, the security simply confirmed the identity and released Chen Xing's vehicle.
After entering the headquarters base of Kunpeng Company, Chen Xing also initially realized what it means to be a top domestic company.
When vehicles drive on the main road, lights are brightly lit, and buildings with more than ten stories high can be seen everywhere.
The most special thing is the 26-story R&D building. It's almost nine o'clock, and the lights are not turned off anywhere on the 26th floor of the building, and people are constantly coming in and out.
"There is still a long way to go." Chen Xing sighed as he looked at Kunpeng Base, which did not look like a base but resembled an industrial park.
When they arrived at the parking lot, Ren Wanzhou, who was arranged to receive him, immediately stepped forward and said, "Hello, Mr. Chen, my name is Ren Wanzhou. My father is already waiting in the office. Please come with me."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Chen Xing followed her.
Yao Nana may not be recognized by many people, but Ren Wanzhou is recognized by almost all of them, because she is the appointed future successor of Kunpeng Company, and she is almost always present in the company's important meetings.
"Mr. Chen would like to take the liberty to ask, it is rumored that your R&D base is in SEG Technology Park. Is this true?"
"Well, it's over there."
"Then I simply can't imagine how much hardship you went through to develop the Kaitian base chip and Star Flash fast charge."
"Compared to before, I think it is more difficult now, and I hope that Mr. Ren can help."
"I believe father will."
…
Chen Xing and Ren Wanzhou chatted without a word. The two walked into a building with about 20 floors, walked through the corridor to the elevator, and went straight to the office on the top floor.
"Dong dong——"
Ren Wanzhou knocked on the doorframe and made a sound to remind Ren Guofei inside: "Father, Mr. Chen has arrived."
"Boss Ren."
Chen Xing said hello.
Mr. Ren, who was sitting at the office desk and signing the document, looked blank for a moment. After he realized what he was doing, he immediately stood up and greeted him: "Mr. Chen, come on, come on, please come in."
When Chen Xing walked into the office, Ren Wanzhou skillfully closed the door at the door, creating a space for the two of them to chat privately.
Seeing that he and Ren Guofei were alone in the office, Chen Xing got straight to the point: "Mr. Ren, I just went to the Huatian EDA headquarters. Mr. Liu said that their commercial EDA software only has an 85% simulation accuracy rate, and only non-commercial EDA software can Break this out.”
"Well, he also told me on the phone."
Ren Guofei nodded, and then continued: "Loongson EDA is of great importance. Longxin Academy has no record of loaning it out before, so I can only try my best to help you contact it."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Ren."
Chen Xing thanked him and then made a promise: "If you need me in the future, just ask."
If you are busy, you will not help for no reason. Only benefits can make the relationship last longer.
After Chen Xing said these words, Mr. Ren showed a look of embarrassment and continued: "Well, I just have a request. I hope Mr. Chen can agree."
"What is it?"
"Starlight fast charging patent authorization."
Although he was taking advantage of others' danger, Mr. Ren knew very well that it was better to talk now than later, which is why he strongly requested Chen Xing to come to Kunpeng Base.
Chen Xing is not surprised. Now the CEOs of other manufacturers in Longguo are jealous of two technologies, Kaitian baseband chips and Star Flash fast charging.
They cannot use the Kaitian baseband chip for the time being. Because of the bundled sales by Gaotong, a Snapdragon processor includes the baseband chip. Unless a high-performance processor replaces the Snapdragon CPU part, the Kaitian baseband chip is not compatible at all. No Snapdragon processor.
But Star Flash fast charging is different, it is compatible with all mobile phones.
Modifying the circuit, changing to dual batteries, and adding the principle of the charge pump can all be completed by the friends themselves, but the patent is in Chen Xing's hands, and the manufacturer's boss has to pay patent fees.
Chen Xing pretended to be thoughtful and a little embarrassed, but in fact, collecting patent fees from friends had always been in his plan.
When he signed licensing contracts with Rice Company and Hammer Company, his purpose was very simple, just to make the bosses of other manufacturers anxious, so that he could extort money severely.
Now the industry only knows about 120W Star Flash fast charging, but they don’t know at all that Star Flash fast charging has a theoretical power of 300W, and the actual charging power is more than 160W.
In other words, the 120W fast charging that the bosses worked so hard to get is just something that has been eliminated.
There are only more than 20 days left until September and the end of summer vacation. However, we can borrow Ren Guofei's hand to promote Star Flash charging and force other manufacturers to pay patent fees.
Ren Guofei didn't know Chen Xing's true thoughts yet, so he thought he didn't want to authorize him. He sighed and said, "If it's difficult to handle, forget it. I'm not someone who likes to take advantage of others. I will also help the Dragon Academy of Sciences." You contact me.”
"Mr. Ren misunderstood." Chen Xing shook his head, smiled and said: "I was just wondering if I am too greedy to charge you royalties after you have helped me so much."
Good boy, so watertight.
The sentence "It helped me so much" directly put Ren Guofei on the stand.
Without this sentence, whether it succeeds or not depends entirely on the wishes of Longke Academy. I have contacted them for you. As for whether they can borrow it or not, that is their business.
But when Chen Xing said this, if things didn't get done, then Ren Guofei would be known as someone who took advantage of others' danger and didn't get things done before. If word spread, he would be embarrassed.
Ren Guofei took a deep look at Chen Xing. He is not very young, so why is he so clever?
However, he is actually very confident about the Loongson EDA software. Since Chen Xing has talked about it, he can't help himself even if he doesn't want Star Flash Quick Charge.
"I'll try my best to help you. By the way, why don't you also license the patent for the Kaitian baseband chip to us?"
Mr. Ren continued.
Chen Xing also knew that Kunpeng Company was secretly developing Kirin chips, and the baseband chip was a technical barrier they urgently needed to break through.
It seems that this boss Ren is also a drunkard.
However, facing Ren Guofei who was rushing to give him money, Chen Xing naturally would not refuse. He still pretended to be thoughtful and said with some reluctance: "Since Mr. Ren has spoken, there is no way I won't agree. Just give me a price." .”
Seeing that he was in such a difficult situation, Ren Guofei didn't intend to take advantage of Chen Xing. He now felt that he was taking advantage of others' danger. If he still took advantage of the opportunity to lower the price, it would be bad for his reputation if word spread. He still cherished his own feathers.
"Just like the Rice Hammer Company, I will also give you a licensing fee of 400 yuan per unit. However, we will not be able to use the Kaitian baseband chip for a while, so we will charge 240 yuan per unit according to Star Flash. What do you think? ?”
The licensing fees for Star Flash fast charging and Kaitian baseband chips have long been exposed by Rebus or Luo Hao, and they are already well-known prices in the industry.
Chen Xing was already happy in his heart and said without any hesitation: "No problem, just sign at the price Mr. Ren said."
"Then I'll call the lawyer to come up and draft the contract. You wait a moment."
"OK."
