Technology derived

Chapter 103
Waiting for the wind to come, Wang Fan was waiting for Qualcomm, but he did not expect to wait for Samsung and Apple first.

The president of Samsung Huaxia Region wants to talk to him.Wang Fan was a little surprised by this, not knowing what the other party intended.

For Samsung, Wang Fan is actually very sympathetic.

They have been working hard, especially in the past two years, whether it is the hyperbolic screen that is unique in the world, or the world's leading 14NM process, it marks that Samsung's technology is ahead.

But this did not stop Samsung's market share from declining continuously, even if it launched a 2000-range A-series mobile phone, it still didn't help.

Coupled with the rise of a number of manufacturers in China, and even set foot in high-end, it has severely divided part of Samsung's market share.

On the other hand, Apple, although it has not changed much, still holds the top spot, and even goes further.

Sometimes, hard work really doesn't do much.But if you don't work hard, the result will be worse.

"Hello, mortal technology Wang Fan." Wang Fan was very calm.

"Wang Donghao, Lin Tao, President of Samsung China Region."

"I don't know what advice you can give me?" Wang Fan asked bluntly. He was destined to be an enemy, so there was no need to exchange too many pleasantries.

Lin Tao was a little surprised by Wang Fan's directness: "I don't dare to advise, I just want to discuss cooperation with your company."

"Is there anything we can cooperate with?" Wang Fan frowned, not knowing the other party's plan.

"Wang Dong was joking. We can cooperate in many aspects, such as the CPU field. As far as we know, Mortal Technology is going to enter the mobile phone industry, but now it must be struggling with the CPU. The mobile phone development cycle is not short. If Wang Dong uses Qualcomm 810, not only The threshold is relatively high, and the more important thing is that Qualcomm's 820 will be released soon after your mobile phone is launched."

Wang Fan understands that this is indeed a thorny issue. It is even more impossible to directly develop mobile phones on the 820 platform. Once the 820 is postponed, Wang Fan simply cannot afford to wait.

"Is it possible that you have a good solution?"

"Of course!" Lin Tao said: "Samsung is very powerful, we can give you 7420, and send a team to help, shorten the cycle as much as possible. In this way, 7420 plus your company's CPU intelligent control software, even next year 820 is on the market, and it still has the power to fight."

If you can get 7420, it would be a good way, but the other party will definitely not give it for free, so Wang Fan asked directly: "What conditions?"

Lin Tao knew that Wang Fan rejected the investment from Haina International last time, and that he was not short of money at all, so he didn't mention acquisitions, investment, etc., he just said:

"It's easy to say, as long as you sell us the core technology of the camera master, of course the CPU tuning technology can also be sold together. Don't worry, the price will definitely be sufficient."

Wang Fan was speechless: "I'm sorry, Camera Master won't sell it, and CPU tuning won't sell it either."

"No possibility of negotiation? The price will definitely satisfy you!"

"The software can be licensed, but the core technology will not be sold." Wang Fan refused decisively.

There was a silence on the phone, spending money on software, only companies without technology.Samsung's technology establishment will never go this way unless it has to.

After a long time, Lin Tao sighed: "It doesn't matter if you don't sell it, as long as Camera Master doesn't authorize other manufacturers to use it, the 7420 will still be used by you. Of course, we will bear your losses."

"That doesn't work either. The camera master's enterprise-level authorized cooperation is under negotiation." Wang Fan said.

Although Wang Fan is not short of money now, and it is more in his interest for the camera master to keep it for his own use.But Wang Fan still chooses to authorize it to other domestic manufacturers.

On the one hand, because his business is huge, the more funds the better.

On the other hand, it can also be regarded as support for domestic mobile phone manufacturers. Although it will have a certain impact on Mortal Technology's mobile phone business, there is competition and motivation, and Wang Fan doesn't care at all.

More importantly, the domestic standard of living is limited, not everyone uses a 5000+ high-end machine, and other users also have the right to experience high-quality photos.

And Mortal Technology has no plans to make low-end mobile phones for the time being, so it can only be authorized to other domestic manufacturers.

Lin Tao was silent again: "Okay, let me take a step back. As long as you don't authorize Huawei to use it, 7420 can be used by you!"

Wang Fan was a little hesitant. It would be much easier to get 7420, but it would hinder Huawei's development. Is this okay?
However, this also shows that Huawei's strong rise, high-end layout, and overseas development have all had a huge impact on Samsung.

"Let me think about it." Wang Fan replied, and hung up the phone, which was a tactful refusal.

Although Huawei is also a technology-based company and has developed rapidly in recent years, it is still in the same position as other domestic manufacturers in the field of photography, with limited accumulation and still in a position of catching up.

Once other domestic mobile phones adopt Camera Master, and Apple and Samsung have their own advantages, if Huawei still relies on itself, it is doomed to be very passive.

But Wang Fan believes that maybe it won't be long before Huawei will rely on its own strength to catch up with international giants and get rid of its dependence on camera masters.

Wang Fan just rejected Samsung's cooperation, and calls from Apple's top executives came one after another.

Still intending to spend money to buy core technology, but Wang Fan did not agree.

Not to mention the product of the technology derivative system, he couldn't produce the core technology at all.Even if there is, he won't sell it!

Why is the cutting-edge technology of Europe and the United States blocked and embargoed on China, while China's cutting-edge technology must be sold directly?
Restricted by Europe and the United States in recent years, many fields in China have developed slowly.There are some not only technical issues, but also infrastructure issues.

Take the mass-produced CPU as an example, the main basic equipment, lithography machines, etching machines, etc., are all blocked by Europe and the United States.

If Huaxia wants to buy it, not only has to break through numerous restrictions, but also pay a higher price, and what they get is only some almost outdated equipment.State-of-the-art is simply not possible.

Not even advanced equipment, what to use to produce CPU?Improve the process?Develop a fab?
Therefore, Huaxia is the largest mobile CPU consumer market, but the fabs in the mainland are almost powerless, and the money is earned by other giants.

The only outstanding player, SMIC, also produces low-end CPUs with a 28NM process that will soon be retired. Now the high-end CPUs are all 14NM/16NM processes, and there is a 20NM process in the middle. This is a gap of several generations!
Seeing Wang Fan's refusal, Apple's executives decided to settle for the next best thing, and asked to limit the enterprise-level cooperation of camera masters, with special emphasis on Huawei and others.
It was three to seven points before, but now it is not one point. This temptation is big enough!
With a scale of more than 5 million Apple users, even if only 150% of users buy it, it will be at least [-] billion in revenue!

But Wang Fan still refused.A gentleman can do something and not do something.Although he is not a gentleman, he also has his own principles.

Money can be earned slowly, and the road can be walked slowly.But for his own benefit, he can't hinder the development of other domestic high-quality enterprises.
