Rebirth: I Carry A Desktop Computer Inside Me - #93 - Chapter 93 In Order To Ensure Cooperation, Warwick Must Become A Shareholder

Maplefire Semiconductor Corporation.

In the past half month, this company has either been recruiting people or buying equipment.

People came and went, but slowly there was a pattern of commuting to and from get off work.

Relevant experimental equipment was also purchased with money.

Of course, but for things like photolithography machines, Jiang Cheng is not in a hurry right now. He has no place to put them and no more money to buy them.

At the beginning of September, after Jiang Cheng spent 30 million yuan to invest in BI Station, Zijie Jump and Bitcoin, two months have passed and the company has once again made a profit of nearly 40 million yuan.

Of this money, 15 million yuan was used for the establishment of a semiconductor company, 5 million yuan was used as a deposit for land auctions, and 10 million yuan was used for the operation of several companies.

Jiang Cheng currently has only 10 million that he can use.

The land auction will be held at the end of December, and Jiang Cheng will have nearly 50 million yuan on hand by then.

Buying land is basically no problem.

But just in case, Jiang Cheng asked Wei Zhicheng to contact ICBC to prepare the loan.

Jiang Cheng, who owns Maplefire Network Technology Company, which is extremely profitable, expected that not only a loan of 50 million yuan, but at least 30 million yuan would be no problem.

As for buying land and then building a factory,

Let’s do it step by step!

As long as we persist until this time next year, the problem of money will no longer be a problem.

Nowadays, several Maplefire companies have been established. For the normal development of the company, Jiang Cheng established the Maplefire Group Company on top of each company.

The headquarters is temporarily located on the seventh floor rented by a semiconductor company.

The area is not very large, only 1,200 square meters.

For the specific decoration, I went to the previous decoration company as usual, and the style I referenced was similar to that of Maple Fire Media.

Mainly simple, beautiful and practical.

Only 7 people have been recruited so far.

The Investment and Financing Department is headed by Wei Zhicheng, who has two staff members.

The only ones left are assistant Guo Xiaoming (who also serves as assistant to the general manager of the semiconductor company), two financial personnel with group accounting experience, and two operations department employees.

There is not much going on at the group headquarters for the time being. Apart from arranging investment tasks, currently only the Finance Department supervises and manages the financial situation of each subsidiary.

It has 4 wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Maplefire Network Technologies Inc. (Games).

Maple Fire Culture Media Company (website).

Jiangfeng Yuhuo Film and Television Technology Co., Ltd. (Special Effects Studio).

Maplefire Semiconductor Corporation (chips, semiconductors).

In addition, through the investment of Maple Fire Group, it holds 10% of the shares of BI Network Media Company and 8% of the shares of Zijie Jump.

It seems confusing, but Jiang Cheng has a deep meaning.

The first three are all Internet companies, involving computer software, and their more significance is to earn stable profits and win more users.

The latter semiconductor companies, as the name suggests, are in the field of computer hardware.

Nowadays, if you want to make money, you still have to rely on the game and software parts.

However, if semiconductor companies grow, they will also be very profitable.

“Mr. Jiang, Liang Fei, deputy general manager of terminals of Warwick Company, and engineers have arrived together.”

Just when Jiang Cheng was thinking about the company’s development, Guo Xiaoming knocked on the door and reminded him.

“Okay, I’ll come over.” Jiang Cheng reached for a folder and stood up.

Warwick Company still attaches great importance to this fast charging cooperation and specially called Liang Fei, the vice president of terminal products, to come over.

Liang Fei is not tall. He is wearing a blue shirt and a simple coat. He is drinking tea at this time.

“Mr. Liang, I’ve heard of you for a long time. Welcome to come!” Jiang Cheng walked in and said with a smile.

Liang Fei glanced at Liancheng’s prompt. Although he was a little surprised at Jiang Cheng’s youth, he quickly stood up and shook hands with him, “Mr. Jiang, you are young and promising, and you are an outstanding student of Shuimu. You are really admirable.”

After lifting the flower stand, the two parties sat down facing each other.

“Mr. Jiang, we meet again.” Liancheng nodded lightly and said hello.

Jiang Cheng responded with a smile, and then said, “Should we start directly, or should we have a light meal first and then come back?”

Liang Fei was also an engineer, so he said directly without any hesitation, “Let’s discuss the matter directly. Once it’s settled, it won’t be too late to have dinner.”

Jiang Cheng nodded and signaled Guo Xiaoming to take out the things.

Compared with the last time, because of the recruitment of a research and development team, the power adapter has been assembled according to the new agreement and requirements.

Even the data cables were commissioned to the foundry for trial production.

Jiang Cheng explained, “As for fast charging, we have put forward a complete set of solutions, not only limited to the chip, but also formulated the USB-O protocol and fast charging KC1.0 protocol for charging and data interfaces. “

As he spoke, he handed over the document on hand.

Pure Chinese version of the underlying hardware standard protocol.

This was the first time Liang Fei saw it.

“It seems that there are basically no problems with our commercial use.” Liang Fei looked at it and expressed satisfaction.

“Yes, the chip integrates USB-O detection, VBUS discharge path, VCONN power supply, programmable feedback compensation, etc. It can control the current and voltage during the charging process through the photocoupler, and can also be implemented in DC/DC applications. Feedback control.” Jiang Cheng smiled, “The last step only requires debugging and adaptation on the terminal device.”

Liang Fei looked at Jiang Cheng and asked, “Do you plan to sell this technology of your company?”

“No.” Jiang Cheng shook his head directly.

I developed this with great difficulty and wanted to make some money to continue in-depth chip research.

Moreover, as a standardized product, occupying the standard will be of huge benefit to the future development of the company.

“Then Huawei needs to invest in your company to ensure the implementation of this technology and standards.” Liang Fei said directly.

Jiang Cheng thought quickly, “What does Mr. Liang mean?”

“Mr. Jiang, I see you are entering the semiconductor company. This is a money-burning field. We can also buy some shares, which can not only make the cooperation closer, but also help solve the financial problem. How about it?” Liang Fei discussed this trip. LLL.

Jiang Cheng shook his head, “My semiconductor company does not accept investment and financing for the time being.”

“I also understand that Mr. Jiang has just entered the business field and is averse to taking shares and accepting investments.” Liang Fei smiled, “However, you also know that your company’s fast charging is a brand new standard, and Warwick has given up Micro-usb interface, fully switch to USB-O interface, the risk here is very high, in order to ensure cooperation, Warwick must take a stake.”

“Will Warwick also accept our investment and shareholding?” Jiang Cheng asked rhetorically.

Liang Fei laughed, “How about we focus on fast battery charging, set up a joint venture company to operate, and jointly promote this standard?”

“Okay, then let’s set up a company to operate and promote this technology.”

“The holding company estimates that Mr. Jiang is not willing either. Huawei is willing to invest 15 million yuan, accounting for 51% of the shares.”

“My fast charging technology is not that cheap.” Jiang Cheng shook his head.

When it came to the negotiation stage, Guo Xiaoming also joined the camp and began to explain the greatness of his skills.

Jiang Cheng can also say that with the theoretical value of this technology, it can reach 60W fast charging. At least in the next four to five years, charging technology will be leading.

This will be a great advantage for the shipment of mobile phones and tablets.

In the final result, Jiang Cheng’s Maple Fire Group invested 2 million yuan, and the price plus fast charging technology was about 80 million yuan, while Huawei Investment invested 20 million yuan, accounting for 20% of the shares.

At the same time, as the only shareholder, Warwick can obtain fast charging chips at the lowest price and share the entire set of fast charging technologies and subsequent upgrade technologies. The complete equipment such as power adapters will continue to be manufactured by companies such as Yadi.

Of course, the fast charging protocol and USB-O interface protocol launched by the company will be promoted to the Chinese market, not only to make money and profit, but also to popularize its own standards.
