Huawei Technology's turnover this year is expected to be only 30 billion Xia Yuan. How can they spend 7 billion Xia Yuan a year to produce chips?
So one of the knowledgeable reporters quickly asked:
"Mr. Ren Zhengfei, is it certain that the total amount of chip foundry you have reached with Sugon Technology can reach 7 billion yuan a year?
As far as I know, your turnover this year is expected to be just over 30 billion yuan, and you spend 7 billion yuan a year to produce chips. Can Huawei Technology really afford it? "
Faced with the reporter's question, Ren Zhengfei shook his head slightly and responded:
“Although our turnover this year is expected to be only 30 billion yuan, we have already established a mobile terminal department and officially entered the mobile terminal industry.
In addition, we have also reached a second cooperation with Sugon Technology, which is a mutual patent licensing cooperation.
So if nothing unexpected happens, our Huawei Technology's turnover may exceed 40 billion Xia Yuan in the next year.
In this case, if the communications industry and the mobile phone terminal industry are combined, the total chip foundry order amount of 7 billion this year will naturally be nothing. "
"Wow!"
The scene was once again in an uproar, and they were all surprised by Ren Zhengfei's words.
Seeing this, Lin Chen didn't say much.
Lin Chen waved his hand, and the projection screen behind him instantly showed the details of the cooperation between the two parties.
As shown in this detail, Sugon Technology has obtained a large number of dense patent authorizations using Phoenix S1 instruction set architecture authorization and Sugon mobile system semi-open source authorization.
Looking at the registration years of those patents, reporters found that Sugon Technology seemed to have directly obtained the technology patent authorization accumulated by Huawei Technology in the past two decades.
Comparing the number of technology patents between the two at this time, Sugon Technology's technology patents are only a few tenths of those of Huawei Technology. In terms of the number of technology patents alone, Huawei Technology seems to be at a disadvantage.
At this time, people at the scene discovered through the dense number of technology patents of Huawei Technology that Sugon Technology already had the qualifications to intervene in the communications industry.
After all, based on the technology patents accumulated by Huawei Technology for more than 20 years, if it develops some innovative features, Sugon Technology can directly enter the communications industry.
"That's crazy."
"What's the difference between this and luring a wolf into the house?"
"Yes, who loses and who gains in this cooperation?"
"It feels like Sugon Technology seems to be at a slight loss, because after this authorization, Sugon mobile phone chips and Sugon mobile phone systems are no longer only usable by Sugon mobile phones themselves. Isn't this a bit of a loss?"
"No, I feel that Sugon Technology has made money from this cooperation. After all, it has directly obtained the technology patent authorization accumulated by others for more than 20 years. It has a solid foundation and can directly enter the global communications industry.
In addition, what they reached was a mutual authorization of patents, not a patent exchange.
In other words, Huawei Technology seems to be able to design and produce the Phoenix S1 chip instruction set using Sugon Technology, and can also use Sugon Mobile Phone System, but in fact, no matter how much it sells, it still pays patent fees to Sugon Technology. "
"This seems to be true, but it is inevitable that Huawei Technology will become the second largest mobile phone company in China by virtue of its technology patent license with Sugon Technology. So it is really unclear who will lose and who will gain."
“Indeed, it’s really hard to say who will lose and who will gain.”
People at the scene discussed with each other and found that no one seemed to have suffered a big loss or gained a lot from this cooperation.
At this time, Lin Chen looked at the people discussing and raised his hands slightly. Seeing this, everyone shut up, and then looked at Lin Chen attentively.
“As you can see, we have reached an agreement with Huawei Technology on mutual licensing of technology patents.
Since then, Sugon Technology has a solid foundation to enter the communications industry, and Huawei Technology has also had the core technical selling points to enter the mobile terminal industry. This is a partnership that benefits both sides. "
Hearing this, the reporters at the scene looked at each other and nodded lightly.
At this time, a reporter from an island country slowly asked:
"Mr. Lin Chen, will you enter the wireless mobile communications industry next? In addition, will you enter the optical fiber Internet communications industry in the future?"
Upon hearing the question from the reporter from the island country, the reporters at home and abroad all brightened up and realized that this was indeed big news.
"No, we will not directly enter the wireless mobile communications industry at present, because our goal is 4G mobile communications technology.
After all, the current 2G and 3G mobile communication technologies have been surrounded by thick patent barriers and fences established by many manufacturers around the world.
Although we have reached a mutual licensing cooperation with Huawei Technology on technology patents, we have the foundation to enter the global wireless mobile communications industry.
But no matter how well our Sugon Technology develops, we can only give money and contribute to others, so our goal is the new field of global 4G wireless mobile communications.
As for other optical fiber Internet communication industries, we currently have no development plans in this area. "
After hearing Lin Chen's words, people at the scene nodded to each other and felt a little regretful.
After all, Sugon Technology is not going to enter the wireless mobile communications industry immediately, but is preparing to start directly from 4G mobile communication technology. This means that they will not see Sugon Technology in the communications field in the short term.
But this was big news after all, so the reporters at the scene still pressed their cameras frantically to take pictures of the scene in front of them.
There was nothing important after that. After Lin Chen and Ren Zhengfei both took the stage to speak, the press conference ended quickly.
The reporters also rushed back to their bases, and soon a piece of news that shocked the country was published.
"A giant's handshake? Sugon Technology and Huawei Technology have reached a patent licensing agreement!"
This is the news headline from Penguin Portal.
"With the rise of new semiconductor foundry giants, Sugon Technology has obtained very large chip foundry orders."
This is the news headline on the NetiEase portal.
"Huawei mobile phone is coming? How far will Huawei mobile phone go in the future?"
This is the news headline from the New Wolf Portal.
"Sugon Technology is targeting the global 4G mobile communications market. When will Sugon Technology's 4G mobile communications technology be available?"
This is the news headline on the Naanhu portal.
“Which one loses and who wins, Shuguang Technology and Huawei Technology?”
This is the headline of Nanfang Metropolis Daily. …
At this time, the four major domestic Internet portals and major offline newspapers were all using news headlines to report on the cooperation between Sugon Technology and Huawei Technology.
As expected, these news caused a stir in domestic public opinion, and people also had different opinions on this cooperation.
But no matter who they are, they know that after Sugon Technology and Huawei Technology join forces at this time, the strength of both parties will increase significantly in the future. (End of chapter)
