Chapter 125 Ruby Technology

…

Blair and Mary's well-prepared dinner was plentiful. After all, like today, there are not many opportunities for a family to get together neatly, so everyone cherishes it very much.

Eating and chatting are essential topics. Because of Julia's presence, talking about Matta's embarrassment as a child has become a tacit topic.

After eating almost, the theme of this evening began. With cake, candles, and a slice of 'Happy Birthday', Mary celebrated her 58th birthday.

After staying at the farm for one night, although Guo Shouyun wanted to enjoy a more leisurely life here, a phone call from Wendy forced him to abandon his original plan. I returned to San Francisco with Katherine, who had planned to leave the next day. As for Matta, he would stay and discuss with Blair and Mary about the date of the wedding, and where the wedding would take place. I even had to visit my future husband, I was so busy that I couldn't get along with them.

After delivering Catherine to the office area of ​​Guo's business, Guo Shouyun drove to the Palo Alto Rita campus. The headquarters of the newly established Ruby Technology Company is located here.

"boss!"

When Guo Shouyun parked the car and walked into the company's office area, Wendy, who had been waiting here, hurriedly greeted him.

"Go, go to the office!"

After nodding, Guo Shouyun took Wendy into Keith Labos' office.

"Boss!"

Seeing Guo Shouyun pushing the door and entering, Case Rabos hurriedly stood up. The former executive vice president of PayPal has been transferred by Guo Shouyun since Eric Schmidt rejected his offer.

"Wendy, go get Cadiz!"

"Yes!"

After Wendy turned around and went out, Guo Shouyun said a few words to Keith Rabos. It didn't take long before Cadiz Bell, the chief technology officer of Ruby Technology, hurried in from the door.

After beckoning and letting the two sit down opposite him, Guo Shouyun took a finger-sized black chip from Cadiz Bell and placed it in the palm of his hand to look at it for a moment.

"This is the mobile phone system-on-a-chip that you developed?"

"Yes, Boss!" Cadiz Bell nodded, "This is a mobile phone system-on-chip integrated with our own CDMA technology and ARM's microarchitecture according to your request!"

"How's the performance?"

"90nm process, 32-bit ARM6 single-core microarchitecture! The core frequency is 150MHz, and the baseband is our own WCDMA!"

After listening to the data one by one, Guo Shouyun sighed in his heart. Compared with the dual-core, 22-nanometer or 28-nanometer process, integrated memory, and GPU system-on-chip in later generations, the one I am holding now is really primitive!

"What about the cost?"

"It depends on the market share of the chip!" Keith Rabos said, "Our chip is aimed at the international low-end market, according to the 8:20 pricing strategy. If we can sell 100,000 pieces, Then we can keep the cost at $12 and sell for $30. If we can sell 1 million, we can keep the cost at $8 and sell for $20. If we can sell 10 million, we can sell The cost is under $6, and it's on sale for $15!"

"In addition, we don't need to pay Qualcomm the copyright fee for WCDMA baseband like other chip design companies, so the cost can be the same as or even lower than that of large chip design companies with their own CPUs. In addition, large companies are not too It can be seen in the low-end market with low profits. As for small and medium-sized companies, our advantage in WCDMA baseband will become the cost advantage of crushing them. Therefore, although our chips are not as functional as Texas Instruments, Freescale and other chip giants, but With the advantages of baseband, it can also occupy a place in the mobile phone chip market, especially the less wealthy third world countries!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "Texas Instruments, Freescale, and Nokia can guarantee that they will get 20~30% of the profits in the chip industry. We don't want so much, only 10% is enough! Although they can only make hard money, But as long as you have a place in the low-end market, you have a chance to breathe, and then it will naturally develop little by little. In addition, I am here to assure you that I will not take even 1 cent of the profit of Ruby Company within five years. , and the funds raised are all used for research and development, as well as the company's expansion in the chip industry."

Feeling Guo Shouyun's ambitions for the chip industry, both Cadiz Bell and Keith Rabos' eyes lit up. They all have shares in Ruby Technology. If the company can develop better, then they will naturally get more benefits. Of course, there is no reason to be unwilling.

"Case, get ready, go to China in a week!"

"Huaxia?"

"Well! Among all the third world countries, China's economic development is the fastest. The fast and wealthy people's demand for mobile phones has increased year by year. This is a big market that we can't give up."

"Yes!"

Guo Shouyun beckoned and asked Wendy to bring over the documents he had prepared in advance.

"This is the information of the two Huaxia mobile phone companies. You will focus on them after you arrive in Huaxia. Besides, in addition to selling chips, if they need funds, we can also invest. In short, do our best to provide convenience and be sure to win. Their chip orders!" Guo Shouyun said solemnly.

After nodding earnestly, Case took over the documents, and on their covers there were two names that Keith Rabos thought was a bit awkward: Bird, Xia Xin!

"Boss, in case they really need investment...?" Now Ruby Technology relies on Guo Shouyun's monthly blood transfusion of 2 million US dollars to operate normally, but there is no money for investment.

"You don't need to worry about this, if they really need investment, I will take care of it!"

Bird and Amoi were both famous brands before the emergence of Huaxia smartphones, especially the slogan "Bird mobile phone, a fighter in a mobile phone" is even resounding across the country, even if Guo Shouyun still remembers it more than ten years later. Therefore, as long as you grasp the time well, this investment will not only not lose money, but will make a big profit.

"Understood!"

"Cadis, in the future, my monthly investment in Ruby Technology will increase to 5 million US dollars. Your R&D department has two tasks. First, continue the research on CPU. Second, establish LTE R&D department. In addition, if you think If there is a suitable R&D institution focusing on CPU or LTE, it can also be acquired. As long as the M&A fund does not exceed 20 million, I can support it!” Guo Shouyun said.

"Thank you boss for your support to the R&D department, but is it appropriate for the R&D department to establish the LTE communication standard? The WIMAX standard is now the most popular in the United States!"

Of course, Guo Shouyun knows that the major communication giants in the United States are now conducting research and development in the field of WIMAX communication standards. The ITU held a special meeting and accepted WIMAX as the fourth 3G communication standard and assigned it to a global frequency.

But unfortunately, the WIMAX technology has never been mature, and the user experience is too poor. If it exceeds 400 meters, there will be no signal, and the delay will exceed 1000 milliseconds.

All of this determines that WIMAX is definitely a standard big hole. Guo Shouyun didn't want the company he built with all his energy to end up with Lucent, Alcatel, and Nortel.

"I'm not optimistic about WIMAX technology!" Guo Shouyun interrupted Cadiz Bell by waving his hand after seeing that he was about to refute him, "Cadiz, I hope you can respect my decision this time!"

It was the first time I saw such a dignified and majestic Cadiz Bell in him. After opening his mouth, he finally nodded.

"Boss, I respect your decision, but if the company suffers losses due to this decision in the future, I think this responsibility should be borne by you!" Cadiz Bell said with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Of course, I am the company's major shareholder!" Guo Shouyun affirmed.

"...Okay, this meeting will be here first. As I said, prepare for yourselves!"

After Cadiz Bell left, Guo Shouyun learned some details of the company's operations from Keith Rabos, and did not leave with Wendy until the afternoon.

"Boss, this is the investigation data from Huaxia about Liu Zhixing!"

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Wendy took out a document from her briefcase and handed it over.

"The speed is not slow!"

After taking it over and opening his eyes, Guo Shouyun's pupils shrank.

"I really didn't expect it!"
