Chapter 147 What I want to do is-chip! (Big Chapter)

After hearing Shirakawa Kaede shout "I have money", not only Matsumura Masaki, but even Kobayashi Asuka was stunned.

I said I was thirsty for talents, but in the end I used my money to clear the way.

Matsumura Masaki turned around and looked Shirakawa Kaede up and down, "Did that guy Kikuchi send you money?"

"Uh" Bai Chuanfeng was confused by this professor's brain circuit. Why was Professor Kikuchi involved in everything? How much resentment was there between the two people.

"Professor Matsumura, why don't we go inside and talk." Shirakawa Kaede suggested without losing the opportunity.

Masaki Matsumura, who was originally eager to conduct experiments, did not want to waste it on Shirakawa Kaede.

However, considering the other party's money-making ability, he finally nodded and said, "Come in first." After saying that, he turned around and entered the laboratory.

Bai Chuanfeng felt happy, if he could sit down and talk, there would be a way.

Without delay, he and Asuka Kobayashi entered the laboratory one after another.

Originally, I just planned to accept the commission from the other party and start an industry-university-research institute to earn some extra money.

IBM's professional hard drive has a capacity of just 1GB, is as big as a refrigerator, and weighs 250kg.

It would take too long to do this on my own, and..."

This is one of the most basic prerequisites for the smooth progress of scientific research tasks. Otherwise, Matsumura Masaki would doubt if Shirakawa Kaede just had an idea that came to his mind at a certain moment.

"Then I'll leave the development of the DAC chip to the professor. I'll be waiting for good news here at Shirakawa."

Its profits will be shared in a certain proportion based on the sales volume of Baichuan Electric's products."

"Shirakawa will also visit the industry-university-research office of your school.

"Shirakawa Electric will provide the experimental materials needed by the professor as soon as possible.

But it is systematic work and requires the participation of many people to improve design efficiency.

Its function is to attract talents. According to different abilities, the shares awarded to each person in the option pool are also different.

Masaki Matsumura is very clear about the scope of his academic abilities. He knows a little bit about digital information, but this is not his strong point.

Although the results have not yet been seen, Shirakawa Kaede is full of confidence in the future.

For a scientific researcher, publishing articles in the world's top academic journals.

The registration has been completed and Shirakawa Electric is 100% controlled.

Even if Bai Chuanfeng was prepared, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air at this moment.

Shirakawa Electric's current monthly profit is about this amount. After battling with Sony for more than a month, the patent fees collected may not be enough for one device.

Now that the finances are a little better, Shirakawa Kaede has begun to really plan to build a moat for Shirakawa Electric.

Therefore, whether the sound waves are realistic or not, the DAC chip is the key.

But equity is different. The higher the profit, the greater the dividends, and there is no upper limit.

After the matter was done, Bai Chuanfeng was also ready to say goodbye and leave. He knew that most people engaged in scientific research pay attention to efficiency, so there was no need to repeat some meaningless greetings.

As he said this, Shirakawa Kaede had already taken out the CD that he showed to Professor Kikuchi last time from his bag.

To put it bluntly, SIC is a subsidiary established by Shirakawa Kaede by spinning off the Shirakawa Research Institute.

In addition, if necessary, Yamazaki Hui and Shirakawa Kaede will also find ways to transfer him to SIC.

This is the general working principle of a CD player. The laser head emits light and shines on the disc. When the light hits the pits and the flat surface, the reflection time will be different, which represents 0 and 1.

Although Bai Chuanfeng spends a lot of money on research and development, he does not neglect financial supervision.

Only professionals know what professional instruments SIC requires. Shirakawa Kaede is not stingy about whether Professor Matsumura will use the institute's equipment to do his own experiments.

Isn't this just like walking through iron shoes and finding nowhere, getting there without any effort at all?

Masaki Matsumura was also unambiguous. Since he had decided to join SIC, he immediately began to consider chip development issues.

16bit PCM encoding, sampling rate 44.1kHz…”

Of course, there will be some preferential treatment in terms of shares, after all, he is a veteran figure.

Of course, ordinary talents will probably be allocated very little equity. It may be less than 1%, and if they leave, they must comply with the agreement, and the equity will be repurchased by SIC at the market price.

As he spoke, Shirakawa Kaede handed his business card to Matsumura Masaki.

Or if Masaki Matsumura joins SIC now, the equity will be vested on a monthly basis after one year.

In addition to various favorable conditions, Professor Kikuchi's guarantee is probably also a major factor.

Matsumura Masaki felt that he hadn't been as deeply moved by one thing as he was now for a long time.

So according to the shipment volume of consumer electronic products, the chips used in them must also be indispensable.

It seems that friendship, a complex and ancient bond, cannot be underestimated at any time.

In order to attract high-end talents, Shirakawa Kaede has also reserved a share option pool of 15%-20%.

“In addition, if Professor Matsumura is willing, he is welcome to become a special advisor to SIC.

It would be nice to have helpers, but he is worried about finding a way to contact other high-end talents.

"So, what Shirakawa-kun wants to do is a DAC decoding chip that processes signal conversion!"

As a doctoral-level professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology, he is also the school's most powerful electronics and electrical major, and his annual salary barely reaches 8 million yen.

If I'm not around, you can always ask for help from Ichizai, and if you have any suggestions for your needs, I'll pass them on to him."

This is already more than the annual salary of most people in Japan, but compared with the dividends just calculated, it may exceed this number within a few months.

The so-called monthly grant means that the option shares are divided into many equal parts and then granted monthly.

Only then will the actual number of shares awarded be discussed.

Matsumura Masaki understood what Shirakawa Kaede meant, and these were the proper meanings.

Even if the turnover cannot be opened for a while, all the equipment will be in place within a year."

Only with self-designed chips can we form our own core competitiveness. Otherwise, what is the difference between Baichuan Electric and an assembly factory?

However, Bai Chuanfeng gritted his teeth. "Professor, don't worry, SIC will fully meet your requirements.

However, when he heard the 10 million yen free aid, he was immediately tempted. Wouldn't the funds for other experimental projects in his hands be secured?

Single-layer waveguide structures, disc antennas, etc., these projects will almost see results soon.

This part of the equity will basically remain unchanged, and will be retained even if it receives subsequent investment or goes public.

After Masaki Matsumura sat down, he asked straight to the point. These technical experts are all efficiency maniacs. They always go straight to the topic and never mess around.

If you want to compete with Sony and Panasonic, how can you do it without your own unique skills?

Masaki Matsumura remembers that when purchasing, the price quoted was about US$5,000.

Read and write speed: 1X = 150 KiB/s…

A company that dares to invest huge sums of money to support research and development will definitely not be any worse in the future.

Professor Matsumura became more and more satisfied with Shirakawa Kaede's success. "Since Shirakawa-kun said this, I won't be polite.

Matsumura Masakiyoshi looked at the information in his hand again, and became more and more aware of the parameters above.

But Bai Chuanfeng seemed to think that this was not enough, so he added another fire.

And now Professor Masaki Matsumura is the first technical master that Shirakawa Kaede wants to sign. He must not let go of the master who can design chips.

Shirakawa Kaede's equity stake for Matsumura Masakiyoshi is roughly no more than 3%, which is only given so much because the other party is a semiconductor tycoon.

Thank you for taking care of Shirakawa today, and I look forward to the day when SIC will thrive."

With Professor Matsumura leading the way, won't we be able to defeat them one by one when the time comes?

"Oh, by the way, please ask the professor to help you make a list of research and development requirements. Here at Baichuan Electric, there will be a dedicated person responsible for purchasing.

Professor Kikuchi's place is not only spacious and bright, but most of the instruments are also installed in different rooms.

"Yes, SIC is responsible for developing the latest technology for Shirakawa Electric, applying it to actual products, and bringing it to the market.

As if she knew what he was thinking, Bai Chuanfeng took out another piece of information.

This..., Matsumura Masaki felt his fingers trembling a little.

When Shirakawa Kaede entered the interior, the first thing that struck his eyes was the various unknown instruments, which filled most of the laboratory space.

Besides, there are so many talented people at the Eastern Polytechnic University, and one person is not enough. It’s hard to get this line, and if we don’t dig a few more, we would be sorry for such a great opportunity.

Of course, the contract is also conditional. Masaki Matsumura has initially completed the chip research and development entrusted by Shirakawa Electric.

Although that guy is a bit annoying, he is still reliable in this kind of thing."

It can be foreseen that in the future, SIC-designed chips will be widely used in actual products, and the profit divided according to that part will be very considerable.

You must know that among current computer hard drives, the one with the largest capacity is the 5.25-inch hard drive that Seagate just unveiled at this year’s press conference.

Unexpectedly, Matsumura Masakiyoshi waved his hand nonchalantly, "Since it was that guy from Kikuchi who recommended you here, then this reputation can still be guaranteed.

As for the laboratory, as long as the equipment and instruments are usable, it doesn't matter if other things are just make-do.
