Four hundred and forty-nine chapters deep customization
At one o'clock in the afternoon, He Tingbo arrived at the Ruikang Group headquarters on time. Under the leadership of the staff who specially welcomed her, the group was soon taken to a conference room.
And Chen Changan was waiting in the conference room early.
As soon as He Tingbo entered the door, Chen Changan came up with a smile on his face.
"Mr. He, long time no see, HiSilicon's chips have been making a big splash recently."
HiSilicon has indeed sold well in recent years. Thanks to the emergence of carbon-based chips, HiSilicon has not only launched the Pixiu series chips on the mobile side, but also launched the Tianpeng series chips on the server side, and the Xuanwu series chips for the desktop side!
These magical beast series chips sold very well, which can be regarded as filling China's shortcomings in CPU and has become a top chip supplier in the mobile chip field.
Although the desktop side is not as good as Intel and Amd, it is still in the second echelon.
The performance of the Tianpeng series chips on the server side is also very strong. At present, many large domestic companies have turned to using HiSilicon chips to build servers.
The results can be said to be very gratifying.
He Tingbo also smiled politely and said, "Where is it? The most popular product in the technology circle is Ruikang's home personal assistant. In front of Mr. Chen, we can only be considered a small fight."
Since He Tingbo has something to ask for, he naturally has to lower his attitude. How could Chen Changan praise her? She immediately praised her again.
The two looked at each other and laughed, and neither of them took the other's polite words to heart.
"Let's sit down first. I already know your purpose. As for cooperation, as long as both parties are sincere in this kind of thing, it can be negotiated."
He Tingbo understood what Chen Changan said. If she was not sincere enough, then cooperation would probably not be possible.
As for how sincere it is, it depends on how big Chen Changan's appetite is.
Before the negotiations officially began, He Tingbo felt a little bad. This time, Huawei is probably going to be bleeding a lot.
He temporarily suppressed his thoughts, and He Tingbo smiled far-fetchedly and led his subordinates to sit down on the right half of the conference table, while Chen Changan led Ruikang staff to sit on the left half.
After everyone sat down, Chen Changan looked at He Tingbo and waited for her to speak out first.
Now He Tingbo has a request for Yu Ruikang, and he is in the hands of Chen Changan, so he must be in no hurry.
He Tingbo also knew this truth. She thought about it in her heart for a moment, and after organizing the language, she said seriously: "Mr. Chen, we also informed your company in advance yesterday."
"This time I came to your company to cooperate closely with your company in the field of artificial intelligence."
Chen Changan nodded. He had already expected these things. There was nothing strange about them. The focus was on how to cooperate, how to cooperate, what Ruikang could get and what he had to pay for in cooperation.
He Tingbo looked at Chen Changan a few times, and saw that he looked normal and had no performance, which at least showed that he had the intention to cooperate.
She quickly said in depth: "This is how we think, can your company customize an in-vehicle intelligent system for Huawei's automotive project?"
"We can pay customization fees and usage fees, but we need to have control and modification rights of this intelligent system. We may not require control of the underlying code, but we must have permission to apply for modification."
He Tingbo directly revealed his bottom line and had no intention of tempting with Chen Changan. This negotiation is not considered a negotiation to be precise. Ruikang Group completely occupies 100% of the initiative. Huawei has no bargaining chips for negotiation, so there is no room for tempting.
The only thing He Tingbo can do is sincerity.
And this sincerity is indeed quite good.
From the beginning, Huawei never thought of getting control of the underlying code, and only required the right to apply for modification, and its posture was already very low.
The underlying code is usually the most core part of the entire program. If you master the underlying code, then the program will be almost completely open to it.
For example, the native Android system belongs to Google, but Google has authorized it to many domestic mobile phone manufacturers.
And they are open to the core underlying code of the system and are authorized to modify it themselves.
This is why various in-depth customized systems developed based on the Android x.0 version appeared, such as Huawei's previous emui, Miui, Hammer Rom, Meizu Flyme, Oppo's coloros, Vivo's funtouch, etc., and other mobile phone operating systems.
The core of these systems is actually the Android system, but after their various magic modifications, they have been modified beyond recognition, which is completely different from the native Android system installed on Samsung.
The same applies to artificial intelligence systems.
If Ruikang wants to design an on-board artificial intelligence for Huawei, then Huawei will definitely have the best grasp of the underlying code, so that they can upgrade the system, modify and improve functions at any time, so that Huawei has higher autonomy and can modify this set of artificial intelligence system at will, and maintenance and upgrades will be very convenient on weekdays.
However, considering the importance of strong artificial intelligence, He Tingbo knew very well that Chen Changan could not open up the core underlying code to Huawei.
A very simple truth is that once the core code is opened to Huawei, as long as Huawei programmers are not a group of stupid people, they can copy the running logic of the underlying code as it is after a year or two. This can be regarded as a disguised learning how to write artificial intelligence code.
Is this so great?
Just thinking about it is obvious that such a good thing cannot fall on Huawei.
So He Tingbo was very tactful and did not mention this, but only asked Huawei to have the right to apply for modification. That is to say, when Ruikang customized an in-car intelligent system that they were satisfied with according to Huawei's requirements, if Huawei still needs to make some changes on this basis, or add any functions, upgrade the system, etc. in the future, they cannot do it themselves, so they can only apply to Ruikang.
Then Ruikang's staff will make modifications according to their requirements.
Huawei basically only has the right to use it, and does not have any actual right to use it.
However, having the right to use is enough. As long as you can carry a set of truly strong artificial intelligence on Huawei cars, this product can become the world's most advanced car in one go!
Even if its 100-kilometer acceleration may not be excellent, the engine is not advanced enough, and the chassis design is a bit old-fashioned, but one artificial intelligence is enough to cover up all shortcomings!
What's more, they also need to realize the real 5g autonomous driving technology!
