Chapter 302 Difficult Situation (2 more updates please order)
Li Da pondered for a moment and asked: "I want to know what the specific method of cooperation between us is?"
Sun Dong followed Chen Xiao's request and said: "Changtian Technology will hand over the technology to the company, and we only need 30% of the profit."
This condition is indeed very attractive. The profit of the motherboard is quite high, and Changtian Technology only needs 30% of it.
Li Da asked again: "But the chipset of the motherboard has not been recognized and authorized by Intel. If we produce it without authorization, we will definitely be sued by Intel. This kind of lawsuit can push us to bankruptcy."
Sun Dong said: "Angda just needs to focus on production, and leave the rest to us."
Li Da said silently in his heart, but the meaning was unclear.
Li Da closed the drawing and returned it to Sun Dong, "Mr. Sun, let us consider this matter."
Wu Jun quickly adjusted the atmosphere of the venue.
"There are many delicious and fun places in Shenzhen City. Mr. Sun just wants to relax in Shenzhen City during this period. I believe Mr. Chen will not blame him if he knows about it."
Sun Dong also knew that such an important negotiation could not be explained clearly in a few words, and he needed to give Li Da time to think about it.
Sun Dong nodded and left behind a very meaningful sentence.
"Changtian Technology is very much looking forward to reaching cooperation with Angda. Xia Guo's technology companies cannot always rely on others."
After Sun Dong left, Li Da immediately held a high-level meeting to discuss the matter.
Li Da was very confused at this time.
On the one hand, the conditions offered by Sun Dong were really too tempting.
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.
A foundry that does not want to independently produce motherboards is not an ambitious foundry.
The profits of Asus and Gigabyte are much higher than those of Angda as an agent.
If Angda can independently design and produce motherboards and occupy a place in the PC market, that picture will be really beautiful.
But Li Da also has a deep understanding of the difficulties that Changtian Technology is currently facing.
Changtian Technology is almost surrounded by American technology companies and related associations. Sun Dong just said that Changtian Technology can find a way to obtain Intel's chip authorization, but Li Da doesn't believe it.
If we cooperate with Changtian Technology here, we will definitely offend Asus, Gigabyte and the American Computer Association.
If the cooperation with Changtian Technology is not very successful, or if the motherboards designed and produced cannot be put on the market without Intel's authorization, then both parties will be unhappy.
Li Da said: "Everyone can express his own opinions."
The senior officials wanted to express their opinions when the meeting had just begun, but since there were guests present who did not speak, it was an internal meeting of the company, so of course everyone wanted to express their opinions.
"Mr. Li, I firmly do not agree to cooperate with Changtian Technology! At present, our Angda is making steady progress. Both the sales of MP3 and the sales of agent motherboards are growing steadily. As long as we stick to our goals unwaveringly, Angda will definitely become
Great company!”
"That's right, Mr. Li, Changtian Technology is really awesome. It can actually design a motherboard that supports the Pentium 4 processor on its own.
However, Changtian Technology has been blacklisted by relevant departments and industry associations in the United States. It is absolutely impossible for them to obtain Intel's chipset authorization. Even if they design a motherboard that supports Pentium 4 processors, there is no way
It’s on sale!”
"That's right, Mr. Li, there is definite news that our country will join the WTO next month. The WTO attaches great importance to intellectual property rights!
Motherboards are not as good as operating systems. The deeply optimized Windows 98 operating system currently on the market is free and non-profit. We have to spend a lot of manpower and capital costs to produce motherboards, and we must sell them on the market to make profits!
If we don't get Intel's permission, it will be a serious infringement of intellectual property rights. If we are sued by Cherry to the US court, we will be fined and bankrupt!"
If Changtian Technology finds Angda to cooperate before the new motherboard is released, then Li Da will definitely be very willing and support it with both hands.
But now, Changtian Technology is almost in dire straits, and the sales of the production companies that have partnerships with Changtian Technology have almost died.
Under such circumstances, if you cooperate with Changtian Technology, what is it other than seeking death?
"Mr. Li, did Changtian Technology come here to cause trouble deliberately because they saw that our MP3 sales were extremely high and affected their market?"
Some senior officials also raised such doubts, and everyone agreed.
"If we cooperate with Changtian Technology, Asus and Gigabyte will definitely cancel our agency qualifications. There are so many agency companies in Xia Guo now, and they are eager to cooperate with Asus and Gigabyte!"
"Mr. Li must never do such a thing!"
Cooperation between companies is actually the same as buying stocks.
When your company is booming, everyone will follow it.
But when your company is in a bad situation and profits plummet, everyone will sell off.
After a high-level meeting that lasted more than two hours, Li Da also made a decision to refuse cooperation with Changtian Technology.
After all, Angda's current development momentum is very good, and there is no need to change Angda's strategic goals at this time.
Li Da expressed his position: "Then the matter is settled. We will continue to maintain good cooperative relations with ASUS, Gigabyte, etc. I will refuse cooperation with Changtian Technology."
Li Da was not willing to meet Sun Dong again, so he asked an intermediary to tell Wu Jun.
After Wu Jun got the news, he was so depressed that he almost suffocated.
The failure of the cooperation with Angda means that the motherboard designed by Changtian Technology has no way to be mass-produced.
Mass production of motherboards is not an easy task and requires a large number of production lines and complete material supply.
It is not something Changtian Technology can do just by saying it will do it.
Wu Jun conveyed the news to Sun Dong very angrily, and couldn't help complaining: "Mr. Sun, is this Mr. Chen's method? I don't think this method is good! Even if Ang Da is willing to cooperate, he can't get it
Even if Intel’s chipset is authorized, the motherboard still cannot be put on the market!”
Wu Jun couldn't help but give his own suggestions.
“It’s better to work with Angda than to find a way to produce the motherboard yourself!”
But when he said this, Wu Jun felt that it was unreliable.
First of all, it takes at least one or two years for a company to build motherboard production capacity from scratch.
After a year or two, the chip will have been upgraded and the motherboard will have to be upgraded as well.
Also, as Wu Jun himself said just now, even if it is produced without Intel's authorization, it is still an infringement.
Ever since Sun Dong followed Chen Xiao, his whole life has undergone earth-shaking changes.
He is considered a disciple of Chen Xiao. Sun Dong took a sip of wine and said: "Mr. Wu, what are you anxious about? Mr. Chen is not in a hurry, so don't be anxious. My task is to guard Shenzhen City. Mr. Chen said
If Angda is willing to cooperate with us, then he will definitely do so, don’t worry!”
