The world's richest man started by developing gutter oil

Los Angeles, California.

Oil Pipe Headquarters.

Matos Sargent stood at the door of Carls Short's office with a cheerful expression and knocked on the door.

After hearing the word "come in", Carls Short unlocked the door and walked into the office.

"Karls, your wife let you have sex?" quipped Karls Short.

Because Matos Sargent often worked overtime, his wife had several conflicts with him. In order to punish him, his wife would not let him go to bed. Somehow this matter was spread to the company. This incident became a topic for everyone to ridicule him.

"Boss, this is the data just compiled by the technology department. After we replaced the decoder with HEVC, broadband usage dropped by 73%, the overall demand for hard drives dropped by 43%, and the overall hardware operating expenses dropped by 41%.

According to the Finance Department, our profitability can increase by at least 17% after deducting HEVC patent fees.

If we publish this data, the market value of oil pipes can increase by at least 10%. "Mattos Sargent said happily.

"Really?" Carls Short said with a look of disbelief.

"It's true," said Matos Sargent.

"This is the best news I have heard from the beginning of the year to now. At the end of the year, we can apply to the board of directors for equity incentives." Carls Short said with a smile.

"HEVC has greatly increased the smoothness of 1080P, and member satisfaction has increased by a full 17%, which is the highest satisfaction level in history." Matos Sargent said.

"It seems that our use of HEVC technology is a very correct approach." Carls Short said with a smile.

"I heard that Nephi and Justintv also use this technology, and the praise from Nephi has also increased significantly. The HEVC technology is really powerful." Matos Sargent said.

"We are happy, but the broadband operators are probably not happy. Using this technology, our demand for bandwidth has also been reduced." Carls Short said with a smile.

"That's their business," laughed Matos Sargent.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence that the two companies announced their use of new technologies online at the same time.

The stock prices of Naifei and Oil Pipe instantly rose by about 10%.

Also because of the rise in the stock prices of these two companies, the HEVC technology has become well known to American technical personnel.

Cupertino, California.

Mr. Qiao naturally also received news from these two companies. After learning about the incident, Mr. Qiao called Cook to the office.

"Steve, why did you call me here?" Cook asked after sitting down.

Cook is one of the few people in the entire fruit company who can directly call Mr. Qiao by his first name. Cook is also one of the few close friends and confidants of Mr. Qiao.

"Look at this document." Mr. Qiao threw the document in front of Cook and said.

This document is a technical introduction to HEVC, and Cook immediately picked it up and started reading it.

"Steve, this technology is really great. I think we can use this technology. If we apply it to ITV, we may be able to significantly reduce ITV operating costs. The super-smooth playback speed can make We get more customers," Cook said after putting down the document.

"Youtube and Naifei have already used this technology. They have just announced an announcement that reduces hardware operating costs by about 40%, but I don't want to pay them such high patent fees." Mr. Qiao said.

"Steve, although we need to pay them high patent fees, this technology helps us reduce operating costs. We cannot shut out this technology because of patent fees, otherwise we will have no way to provide customers with Excellent product, not to mention the technology is beneficial to us.

We can use the saved costs for research and development, and then use our technology when we have our own technology.

You need to look at this as an operator. If you look at it from the perspective of a developer, you will be a failed operator. "Cook persuaded.

"Cook, our self-developed CPU cannot decode HEVC at all. If we want to decode it, we must add HEVC instructions. This means that in addition to paying royalties to video websites, we also need to extract 0.5% of the royalties from the hardware. to each other.

The royalties we need to pay are much higher than those of YouTube and Nephew. "Master Qiao said.

"Steve, Netflix and YouTube are already using this technology. They can provide better services to customers. If our next-generation products are not upgraded, then there will be no need for ITV to produce this product. Sometimes we need Know the trade-offs," Cook said.

"Okay, okay, then it's up to you." Master Qiao sighed.

"Which company provides this technology?" Cook asked curiously.

"It's the Deep Blue Group that provides us with new WIFI and low-power Bluetooth technology." Mr. Qiao said.

"It seems that this company has strong R&D capabilities. If we can acquire it, it will definitely enhance our strength." Cook said.

"This company has many profitable industries. This company is not short of money at all. It is basically impossible to acquire them. Moreover, its boss is a genius." Mr. Qiao shook his head.

"Steve, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to work first," Cook said.

After hearing Master Qiao say this, Cook did not continue to ask about the matter. Steve figured out that there was no need for him to stay here anymore.

"Well, you go back to work." Master Qiao nodded.

In the blink of an eye, it is February 2010, 2, Chinese time.

Fruit signed an h.2 licensing agreement with DeepBlue Technology on February 3.

Now Kong Huimin has completely surrendered to Han Chen. She is unknowingly obsessed with the taste of forbidden fruit. Once someone opens the quick switch, it will be really difficult to close it again.

In the past few days, Han Chen also went to live with her every other day.

The reason why he went there the next day was mainly because Kong Huimin was a little afraid of Han Chen.

28-year-old Kong Huimin is not far away from turning 30. It is said that women in their 30s are like wolves and tigers, but when facing Han Chen, she cannot stand up and can only lie down paralyzed when facing Han Chen.

Office of Deep Blue President, Nantian Pioneer Park.

At this time, Han Chen was sitting in the office, deleting the source code of the Magic Eye Engine. When the deletion reached a certain level, he would immediately recruit people to come back and fill it in. By then, the Magic Eye Engine could be officially launched on the market.

At this moment, the door light came on, and Han Chen also pressed the door light button.

Wu Qimin opened the office door and walked in.

"Old Wu, what's the matter?" Han Chen glanced at him and continued typing the code. "Mr. Han, CCTV sent us two tickets to the Spring Festival Gala. They invited us in the name of partners. Do you want to go and have a look?" Wu Qimin asked after sitting down.

"You can just go on my behalf. I'm too lazy to go all the way to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Besides, the person in charge of WeChat was invited. Isn't the person in charge of WeChat talking about you?" Han Chen said after taking a look at the invitation.

When he put down the invitation, the door light came on again, and Han Chen pressed the door light switch immediately.

Zhang Huajian pushed open the office door and walked in after seeing the door light go out.

"Old Zhang, what's the matter?" Han Chen asked.

When Zhang Huajian walked in, he saw the invitation letter on his desk. This invitation letter was the same as the invitation letter in his hand.

"Mr. Han, CCTV also sent me two invitation letters. What do you think you should do with these two invitation letters?" Zhang Huajian put down the invitation letter and said.

"The person in charge of Deep Blue Film and Television was invited. You are the general manager of Deep Blue Film and Television. You can just go and open it yourself. It just so happens that Lao Wu is also going to attend. You two can bring your wives with you. It is considered that you are attending the Spring Festival Gala. It's official business, and the company will reimburse you for the round-trip air tickets." Han Chen picked up the invitation and took a look at it before saying.

"Mr. Han, I'd rather obey your orders than I am respectful. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to work first." Wu Qimin picked up the invitation and said.

"Well, you go back to work first." Han Chen nodded.

Wu Qimin then left Han Chen's office, but Zhang Huajian seemed to have something to say and did not leave.

"Old Zhang, what's the matter?" Han Chen asked curiously.

"Mr. Han, Xue Qiqi and Tong Li have all agreed to star in [Descendants of the Dragon Kingdom] and [My Love from the Star]. The Emperor has lowered the cost of [The Heirs] to 9000 million. According to your wishes, [The Inheritance] The film is scheduled to be filmed in early July this year.

In addition, I have negotiated with Mr. Wang from Weibo that our casting event will be held in May. "Zhang Huajian said.

"Then let's arrange it this way. You guys will also hand over the work. If you don't have anything to do, you'll have a day off today." Han Chen said.

"Okay, Mr. Han, then I'll go back to work." Zhang Huajian said.

After Zhang Huajian left the office, Han Chen's cell phone on the table rang.

[Caller: Changsun Chuanfu]

"Chuanfu, should you go back to the United States to celebrate the holidays this year or celebrate the holidays in your hometown?" Han Chen asked after answering the phone.

"Are you alone and want me to spend the holidays with you? But don't even think about it. I have to go back to my hometown for my parents to celebrate the holidays. A scumbag like you is destined to be alone for the rest of his life." Changsun Chuanfu said.

"If you fart, hurry up." Han Chen said angrily.

This guy doesn't care about other people's mood at all. He said this even though he knew Han Chen was alone. If the two hadn't known each other for many years, Han Chen would have blocked him long ago.

"Dadi Cinemas, Jinyi Film and Television, Hengdian Film and Television and New Film Alliance have all agreed to our investment in them. China Film Southern and China Film Digital have no interest in transferring their shares due to the nature of their companies.

The company mentioned earlier is willing to take 30% of its shares to raise funds. I used the rhetoric you told me to convince them to ensure the independence of the theater chain.

Dadi Cinema needs to invest 3.7 million in funds, Jinyi Film and Television needs 2.4 million in funds, Hengdian Film and Television needs 4 million in funds, and New Film Alliance needs 1.7 million in funds. Changsun Chuanfu said.

"You did a good job in passing on the wealth." Han Chen said with great satisfaction.

"In addition, Amap is willing to accept our full acquisition, but the price they gave is 70 billion soft sister coins." Changsun Chuanfu said.

"You told Cheng Congwu that I can only give him 50 billion. I might as well develop my own research and development of 70 billion. Investing 30 billion in my own research and development is enough. You told him that we settled in cash and did not need to pay in installments. If he You can sign the contract at any time if you are willing," Han Chen said.

The price of 50 billion is a premium for Han Chen. The price of 50 billion is also Han Chen's bottom line. If it exceeds 50 billion, Han Chen will not want to acquire it.

Although the market value of Amap after its listing soared to 70 billion soft sister coins, in the end it was not acquired by Ali with 66 billion soft sister coins. At this time, the acquisition price of Han Chen could only be 50 billion.

"Okay, I'll discuss the price with Cheng Congwu. In addition, the League of Legends will send someone over after the holiday. You can arrange manpower to hand over to them." Changsun Chuanfu said.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, let's leave it at that." After Han Chen finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to get off work.

All companies under the Deep Blue Group are officially on holiday today. Of course, not all employees are on holiday. Some employees who need to be on duty still need to go to work, but everyone will take turns to be on duty at the company.

Han Chen drove directly to Kong Huimin's place after get off work. As soon as he entered the door, he could smell the fragrance wafting from the kitchen.

When I entered the kitchen, I saw Kong Huimin wearing an apron and cooking boiled beef.

"When will you go back for the festival?" Han Chen hugged Kong Huimin from behind and asked, biting her ear.

"I haven't been back for many years. I booked a flight back on the 8th. Why do you want to go back with me?" Kong Huimin turned around and kissed Han Chen and asked.

Although Kong Huimin lived in the capital when she returned to China, she was actually a hot girl. The reason why she did not return to Bashu at that time was because she did not know how to explain her ex-boyfriend to her family.

She didn't even tell her family about her return to China.

"Deep Blue Payment will be launched during the Spring Festival Gala. I will stay in the company to watch the launch of Deep Blue Payment. Deep Blue Payment is very important to the group, so I have no way to go to Bashu with you." Han Chen said.

"I think you are afraid of meeting my family." Kong Huimin smiled.

"To be honest, I'm a little bit scared if they force us to register." Han Chen hesitated at this point.

"Scumbag, don't worry, I won't ask you to register with me, as long as you keep your promise and don't abandon me." Kong Huimin felt a little sad when she said this.

After all, which woman is willing to share her man with other women, but if she doesn't share it, she can't bear it alone. For a moment, she doesn't know whether it is happiness or pain.

"I, Han Chen, keep my word." Han Chen said confidently.

"Okay, don't stop me from cooking. We can eat in a while." Kong Huimin shook her body and tried to break away from Han Chen's embrace.

"The question is, I want to eat you first." Han Chen said and stretched out his hand.

"No." Kong Huimin said coquettishly.

From time to time, Kong Huimin's cooing sound came from the kitchen. At first, she planned to resist Han Chen, but her body couldn't help but cooperate.

As netizens say, she has a tough mouth, but her body is quite honest. (End of chapter)
