The world's richest man started by developing gutter oil

Cupertino, California.

Master Qiao called Jonathan Ivey to his office early in the morning to discuss the matter.

After reading the document in his hand, Jonathan Ivey also gasped, because the HEVC technology is really great.

"Jonathan, do you think it is necessary for us to use this technology?" Master Qiao asked.

"Boss, this technology can not only reduce the bit rate but also save storage space and bandwidth. If we can apply this technology to the next generation of iTV, we will definitely be able to bring a better experience to our customers." Jonathan Ivey said.

"But I don't want to pay them such a high patent fee. You know, mepg4 only charges 0.2 US dollars per device, but HEVC charges 0.5% of the total revenue, which means we need to pay 15 US dollars per device. Such a high fee What's the difference between fees and robbery?" Master Qiao said angrily.

"Boss, if we don't use this technology, we will soon be surpassed by our opponents. This technology can save us a lot of money. This cost is more than the patent fees we need to pay. I personally recommend This technology is used on iTV." Jonathan Ivey said helplessly.

In fact, Fruits did not use HEVC technology in the previous life. The reason why Fruits did not use this technology is because this technology was launched at the end of 12. The network environment at that time was dozens of times better than now, and the hardware performance at that time was It is also better than now, and the price of hard disk is also much cheaper than now.

Users who want to experience h.265 only need to use CPU soft decoding.

If the hardware manufacturer does not integrate the h.265 hardware instruction set into the CPU, there is no need to pay patent fees to the manufacturer.

Today's network speeds and chip performance make Jonathan Ivey more inclined to use this technology.

"I understand, you go and do your work first, I need to think about it." Master Qiao said.

Although Mr. Qiao is a patent troll in the IT industry, he hates others charging him patent fees. Unless he is forced to do so, he is generally unwilling to use other people's patents. In his opinion, he has the money to pay for other people's patents. It’s a waste of money, it’s better to use the money to research and develop it yourself.

It is best if the core technology is in your own hands, which is why Fruit prefers independent research and development.

"Okay, boss." Jonathan Ivey said.

Los Angeles, California.

Oil Pipe Headquarters.

Carls Short also received an email from Deep Blue, and he immediately handed over this technology to the technical department. After the technical department confirmed the authenticity of the HEVC technology.

Called YouTube’s chief technology officer, chief financial officer and chief operating officer to his office.

"Everyone, at 9 o'clock in the morning, the secretary sent an email from China to my mailbox. This company is selling us a new video decoding technology. Before you came over, I had asked Didier Gaines to do it. Tested, Didier Gaines, please briefly tell everyone the test results." Carls Short looked at the bald man sitting on the far left and said.

"I won't explain to you things that are too professional. The same movie requires 4G of capacity to store using mepg4, but only 2G of capacity is needed to use their technology, but the final image quality is exactly the same.

Users who use mepg4 to play streaming media need at least 256K bandwidth, but their technology only requires about 150K.

In other words, this technology can not only lower the network threshold, but also significantly reduce bandwidth requirements and storage capacity. According to my calculations, it can save at least about 40% of hardware operating costs. ” explained Didier Gaines.

Several people were very surprised when they heard Didier Gaines's introduction, because the drop in operating costs of this hardware was so great.

Chief Financial Officer Franzer Suhr came to a conclusion after careful calculation. If they use this new technology, they can reduce operating costs by at least 30%, which means that their net profit can increase by at least 15%.

A 15% increase in net profit is very scary for a company.

"Boss, how do they collect royalties?" Franze Suhr asked.

"They need to charge a patent fee of 0.5% of the total revenue. This is why I called you here, because their patent fees are too expensive. Do you think we should use this technology?" Carls Shaw Te asked.

"Boss, is it 0.5 of the total revenue or 0.5 of the net profit?" Franze Suhr was somewhat doubtful that he had heard it wrong.

"It's 0.5 of total revenue," Carls Schott replied.

“Boss, I don’t recommend using this technology because the patent fees are too expensive, but from a financial point of view, we can use this technology because the cost savings are higher than the patent fees.

According to Didier, our net profit can be increased by at least 15% using this technology.

This 15% net profit accounts for about 4% of the total revenue. Even if we pay the patent fee, we will still earn 13% more net profit. The only disadvantage is that we need to pay taxes to this company all the time. "Franze Suhr said.

"Matos, what do you think about this matter?" Carls Short looked at the operations director Matos Sargent and asked.

"Boss, since this is a technology that can increase our net profit, then why don't we use this technology? We can invest the money saved in research and development, wait until we develop our own decoding technology and then eliminate them and use them technology is a win-win for us," said Matos Sargent.

The other two people heard what Matos Sargent said and agreed with him very much.

If they had used Deep Blue's technology they would have won twice.

"Boss, I think Matos is right. We can invest the money we save in research and development. After we develop our own technology, we can just eliminate their technology. Our company has no impact." Didier Gaines

"Then use their technology." Carls Short said.

"Boss, which company developed this technology?" Matos Sargent asked curiously.

"You may not have heard of this company's name, but you must have heard of another company of theirs. This company is Deep Blue Network Security Company." Carls Schott said.

"It turned out to be them." Matos Sargent said in surprise.

2010 1 Month 15 Day.

Han Chen returned to Shenzhen City after arranging the team introduced by Mr. Ni.

Han Chen separated this team and established a technology company that was not under the name of Deep Blue Group.

The legal person of this company is Gu Lina, who holds 1% of the company's shares, and the remaining 99% of the shares are held by Han Chen.

Back at the company, Han Chen called Du Guangke to his office.

"Mr. Han." Du Guangke said hello before closing the office door.

"Lao Du, I have read the financial report of Deep Blue Literature. You did a good job last month, but I still have a task to give you." Han Chen said.

"Mr. Han, I don't know what the mission is?" Du Guangke asked.

"We are recruiting translators to translate popular novels on the website into foreign languages ​​for reserve. I want you to explore the overseas online novel market next year," Han Chen said.

"Okay, Mr. Han." Du Guangke nodded.

Han Chen told him at this time that it was a psychological preparation for him. At this time, it was also very appropriate to translate online articles into foreign languages ​​​​for reserves. As long as there are enough reserves of Deep Blue novels, you can go overseas.

Letting Chinese online novels go overseas was something he had never thought about.

But since Han Chen has set a goal for him, he just needs to execute it according to the goal.

Outside the president's office.

Chang Huazhang is processing daily documents.

"Beep~Beep~Beep" At this moment, the WeChat message hidden in the lower right corner suddenly started to vibrate.

[SMIC Li Yuanjiang: Assistant Chang, we have already estimated the tape-out cost. The tape-out cost is US$370 million. The starting price is US$16.5 per piece for 5 pieces. After the tape-out, mass production can be arranged in May. . 】

[Chang Huazhang of Shenlan Group: Manager Li, please prepare the contract and send it to me. After the boss confirms that there are no problems, I will immediately arrange the finance to pay you. 】

[SMIC Li Yuanjiang: No problem, happy cooperation.Thumbs up.jpg. 】

In fact, SMIC's production price is not the best, because TSMC only costs US$16.2 starting at 16.3 units, while Sanxing only costs US$[-] starting at [-] units. The reason why I chose SMIC is because they are fast enough.

Both TSMC and Sanxing will not be able to arrange mass production until around October.

It would be too late to mass-produce daylilies until October, so Chang Huazhang decisively chose SMIC.

Chang Huazhang pressed the doorbell of the president's office after sorting out the relevant documents.

Just as he pressed it, the office door opened. Du Guangke walked out of Han Chen's office, and the two nodded politely to each other.

"Mr. Han." Chang Huazhang greeted after entering the office.

"Come here." Han Chen said after seeing it was Chang Huazhang.

After Chang Huazhang closed the door of the office, he walked to the opposite side of the desk, pulled out the chair and sat down.

"The quotation of Deep Blue One has come out. TSMC's price is US$16.2, Sanxing's price is US$16.3, and SMIC's is US$16.5. SMIC can mass-produce it in May. I have asked SMIC to The International side has made a contract, how many goods do you need to order for the first batch?" Chang Huazhang said as he put the relevant documents on the table.

"Order 3000 million chips with them and see if we can bring the price down," Han Chen said.

"Okay, I'll negotiate with the other party later." Chang Huazhang nodded.

"Have you received the money back from the first batch of electronic locks?" Han Chen asked.

"Walmart already called yesterday afternoon, and Walmart called us a total of US$4.64 million," Chang Huazhang said.

Han Chen stood up, opened the safe behind him, took out a large pile of documents and put them on the table. These documents were patent specifications he wrote when he was in Beijing, which recorded multiple RISC-V30 core instruction patents.

In fact, RISC-V has more than 100 patents, but many patents are extensions of these patents. Extended patents can be registered 20 years later, which can significantly save patent fees.

"You can take some time to register these patents later." Han Chen put the documents on the table and said.

"Okay, Mr. Han." Chang Huazhang glanced at the documents on the table and said.

"Hasn't the builder designed the industrial park expansion plan yet?" Han Chen asked.

Han Chen remembered that he asked Chang Huazhang to handle this matter in November. It has been more than two months now.

"Mr. Han, because a lot of the land there is wetland, the builders are slow to step in and the design plan is expected to be out on the 25th," Chang Huazhang replied.

Fast forward to January 2010, 1.

PPS headquarters.

Office of the Vice President.

Xu Weifeng was sitting at his desk talking to someone on his mobile phone, but when he heard what the other person said, he suddenly frowned.

"Uncle Chen, are you saying that the Spring Festival Gala has been finalized by Deep Blue Film and Television?" Xu Weifeng asked with a frown.

"This matter was finalized by the station director yesterday. It is said that Deep Blue was given the strings by the higher-ups, and Deep Blue Film and Television obtained the exclusive broadcast rights." Chen Shining said.

"I understand, thank you, Uncle Chen." Xu Weifeng replied.

"If there's nothing to do, I'll hang up first." After Chen Shining finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Close the computer monitor, get up and leave the office.

PPS President's Office.

"Boom~boom~boom~"

"Come in." Zhang Hongyu said after hearing the knock on the door.

After getting the reply, Xu Weifeng opened the door and walked in. Zhang Hongyu frowned when he saw Chen Shining's face.

"What's wrong with Shining?" Zhang Hongyu asked.

"The Spring Festival Gala incident was intercepted by Deep Blue Film and Television. It is said that it was the superiors who led Deep Blue Film and Television." Xu Weifeng said very helplessly.

"The situation of PPS is very bad. I plan to sell PPS." Zhang Hongyu said.

Selling PPS is also a helpless move for him. The situation of PPS is several times worse than that of LeTV. Now the film sources don't talk to them and LeTV. If there are new movies, they directly negotiate with Deep Blue Film and Television.

Without the support of new products, PPS online users have declined sharply.

If PPS wants to turn around, it must invest in self-made content, but PPS doesn't have much money in its account. The US$08 million in financing in 2000 is almost gone.

During this period, Zhang Hongyu tried to find capital for financing, but they refused after hearing that it was an online film and television project.

Anyone who is not a fool knows that Deep Blue Films dominates the online film and television market.

Losing the opportunity to broadcast on CCTV is equivalent to losing the opportunity for PPS to rise.

Zhang Hongyu no longer has the confidence to continue operating PPS, so the best way is to sell PPS.

For him, selling PPS is also a very helpless choice.

"No employer is willing to invest in PPS?" Xu Weifeng asked with a frown.

"Yes, there are, but their conditions are very harsh, and the valuation given is also very low. It's better to sell PPS now and let us use the funds to do other projects." Zhang Hongyu said.

"Then tell me after you contact the buyer." Xu Weifeng sighed and said.

In the past few years, Tudou, Youku and LeTV have not been able to defeat them. The one who defeated them turned out to be a company that was established less than a year ago. However, they were convinced by Deep Blue Film and Television.

Who makes Deep Blue Film and Television so powerful? Deep Blue Film and Television is better than them in terms of money and technology.

Had Potato and Youku not turned the ship around in time, they would have been knocked down.

As for LeTV, it is currently struggling. (End of chapter)
