Xu Li was browsing the magazine in his hand while waiting for Lin Yingchang's arrival.
Just the night before last, this student recommended by Mr. Ni called to have an interview with him.
The two parties agreed to have an interview at this restaurant at three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Xiao Hei, how are the sales performance of each company recently?"
Some time ago, he did not go to see Hua to sell for these companies, and now it is time to announce the marketing results.
After all, Huawei’s Qilin 9k and Fruit’s A14 processors both use the NIL process of Suiren’s Ziwei Semiconductor.
Although it has been tested before going on the market, the final results have not been released yet on how it will perform on the market.
It’s been half a month, and at least there are preliminary results.
"According to the sales data released by Huawei, in the past month since the launch of the new product, Huawei's monthly sales of new mobile phones have reached 102,000 units, with a return and exchange rate of 3%. Global sales of Fruit Phones have been 111,000 units, with a return and exchange rate of 3.2%~
Meow!"
Xiaohei's voice came from the Bluetooth headset
"So it seems that the fruit ones are slightly better?" Xu Li raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"The data shows this, but Huawei still has great development potential."
"What about other families?"
"Currently, Rice has slipped to fourth place, with monthly sales of 89,200 units, while Yiyi has slightly exceeded 562 units to become third."
Xu Li was a little surprised after hearing this. Forget about flowers and fruits, rice has always been in third place. Especially in the past two years, its sales have reached second place several times, and now it has slipped to fourth place. But then I thought about it, at present, we only count the monthly sales volume, and we can’t completely say who loses and who wins.
Just as he was communicating with Xiao Hei in a low voice, a man in a blue shirt sat across from him. After seeing Xu Li, he put on a smile: "Hello Mr. Xu, I am Lin Yingchang."
"Hello, Mr. Lin, what would you like to order? Coffee or tea?"
"Just tea."
Xu Li called the waiter to place his order and then began to look at the middle-aged man opposite him who looked a bit dull.
The hairline is slightly moved up, and the spectacle lenses look thick, but the eyes are full of wisdom.
"I think your supervisor, Academician Ni, should have roughly told you the purpose of my invitation. I wonder what you want to ask?"
"I wonder why Mr. Xu has the urge to develop graphics cards?" Lin Yingchang raised his eyelids and asked
"How should I put it? The main reason is to develop a truly domestic high-end independent graphics card. I don't want to be disgusted by some people who should hang street lights in the future." Xu Li took a sip of coffee and spoke calmly.
"Then what do you think of the current situation of the domestic graphics card industry?"
"It's not bad, but it's not good either. The mid- to low-end products are more than capable of high-end products. Many of them are ostensibly made in China, but they are just OEM products disguised as domestic products. They are basically restricted by architectural patents."
Xu Li thought about it and answered.
To be honest, Long Guo's imitation ability is the best in the world. Once you have the equipment, you can imitate it by following the gourd.
But in terms of graphics cards, there are patents from these overseas companies, including graphics card design, GPU chip architecture, etc.
In addition to selling this, they also make money by relying on this authorization.
If you are stuck at this step, with the current strength of legal management, you may not be able to escape justice and suffer heavy losses to your property and reputation.
After all, since the birth and development of national and international patent laws, except for a few countries that are not afraid of boiling water, other countries have basically followed international patent laws and maintained a relatively fair intellectual property protection environment. This environment is also related to international
environment and capital interests.
"In this case, do you think we still have hope of developing domestic graphics cards?"
Lin Yingchang obviously said this with a relatively pessimistic mood.
It seems that he must have experienced something that made him a little disappointed and powerless in the R&D environment of domestic graphics cards.
"You can look at this."
Xu Li turned on his phone and showed him a document page.
Lin Yingchang looked over hesitantly.
His eyes narrowed and he said in a somewhat shocked tone: "Is this a self-developed architecture? Different from AMD, it is an independent architecture for X86? Have you made it?"
"Yes, so now I need a reliable person to develop the first independent domestic high-end independent graphics card. I wonder what your answer is, Mr. Lin?"
Xu Li smiled at the corners of his eyes, waiting for his reply.
Lin Yingchang suddenly had many thoughts in his heart. Maybe it is not impossible for this dark horse company to achieve independent performance.
Judging from this young boss, he does not have the kind of face to invest in quick money and hot money, plus it was introduced by his mentor.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yingchang gave the answer: "Okay, I am willing to join!"
"Then you are welcome to join, Mr. Lin."
Xu Li stood up and stretched out his hand.
"Yeah." Lin Yingchang also stretched out his hand and shook it, but at this moment, something seemed to be rekindled in his heart.
But I can’t say what it is, but my heart is full of vitality.
"Mr. Xu, I will file a resignation application from the school, and I will come directly to report after the New Year."
"No problem."
Xu Li agreed. After all, he is also a teacher at the university. It is approaching the winter vacation and he needs to complete the follow-up work before he can officially resign from the school.
"By the way, you are here now, why don't you go see your teacher?"
Xu Li suddenly said.
"Will this disturb the teacher?" Lin Yingchang felt that the teacher should be very busy with research and development work now, and he was afraid that going would interrupt the work progress.
"How could it be? You know Academician Ni's character well. It wouldn't be too late for you to return to school a few days later and deal with the follow-up matters."
Xu Li thinks he doesn't need to worry about this problem. After all, Lin Yingchang is Mr. Ni's student. How can any teacher dislike a student disturbing him?
The two of them haven't seen each other for a while, so they just had a chat and asked Academician Ni to give Dr. Lin some air, so that they could become familiar with each other and be better integrated into the subsequent work.
"By the way, if you don't mind, I'll take you in my car to see you, Academician Ni!"
"Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Xu."
"You're welcome."
After enjoying a delicious tea shop, Xu Li asked Peng Zegang to drive him and Lin Yingchang to Baize Company.
At present, Academician Ni’s workplace is at Baize Company.
But it should still be in the staff apartment at this time.
For all non-local employees with non-local household registration and non-rental housing, Baize Company will evaluate them based on their contribution and position, and provide a rent-free employee apartment.
Staff apartments need to be bought ready-made. Otherwise, it will be slower to build them.
With the recent real estate fluctuations, I took advantage of the property price fire sale to buy a 25-story apartment building. It happens to be opposite Baize Company. It is also very convenient for commuting to and from get off work. It is just across the street.
There are 8 suites on each floor, and each suite is only 40 square meters in area. Although it is not very large, after some renovation, it is fully equipped with air conditioning, Internet, bathroom, balcony, and kitchenette. p>
For example, you need to pay for electricity and Internet bills yourself, while the property management of the apartment is handled by Suiren Property Management Company.
Security guards are recruited from retired soldiers, and those recruited from society are a mixed bag.
Xu Li doesn't quite believe these people. After all, there are many employees living in the employee apartment of Baize Company, including many technical personnel. What if some unknown people come in and cause trouble?
In terms of sanitation, we are in contact with Qinglan Company, which collects the garbage downstairs every two days and provides cheap gas every month.
Because some people don’t like to eat takeout or go out to eat, especially female employees, they usually go to the supermarket to cook.
Therefore, two bottles of gas will be provided to these employees in need every month for cooking. At the same time, property staff will patrol the floors from time to time to conduct fire safety education.
After all, natural gas is a flammable gas and is relatively dangerous, so you must always be aware of safety hazards.
