Chapter 360 is really making things difficult (He Ali head

"Although not, we bought the core patent license." Xiao Qi nodded and handed over the contract authorization letter between ARM and Imagine Technology.

Li Zhuhao showed it to several legal experts sitting behind him, and they quickly checked the authenticity and authorized content of the contract.

Then Li Zhuhao went on to talk about business, "As you know, the more stringent the microprocessor requirements, the higher the technical standards and production requirements. The same is true for Samsung."

"I believe in Samsung's technical capabilities and you can do a good job."

Xiao Qi doesn't mind flattering. If Samsung's technology wasn't so good, Apple wouldn't have repeatedly accepted their price increase demands.

Even Gang Leader Qiao tolerated a price increase. How proud should this be?

Of course, the next few times have nothing to do with Gang Leader Qiao. Samsung only dares to be tough with Tim Cook, but it does not dare to offend a unique tyrant like Gang Leader Qiao.

"Haha, thank you for the compliment, Mr. Xiao." Li Zhuhao was very satisfied with Xiao Qi's attitude, "Then let me talk about some practical issues. Good things are naturally not cheap, so the initial processing price we gave is 35 US dollars per piece."

Xiao Qi's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't believe it: "35 US dollars. Is this price based on a contract of 30 million pieces per year for a total of five years?"

"Yes."

Li Zhuhao said very solemnly, "According to our precise calculations, your new product microprocessor is very sophisticated, and the yield rate will not be very high at the beginning, so there is a premium element... No matter how you put it, we feel

The price is still very reasonable.”

That’s reasonable, your sister!

Xiao Qi never used foul language, and now he couldn't help but want to scold him.

Three years later, the A4 chip you made for Apple's IAPD only cost 14 US dollars. It took more than a year of rebellion to increase it to 15 US dollars. How come it is more than double the price when it comes to me? Do you think I am a fool and took advantage of it?

"What if I say, my desired price is $18?"

After careful consideration, Xiao Qi reported his psychological bottom line.

In fact, he has also considered that part of the reason why IPAD chips are so cheap is due to the accumulation of technology and the continuous decline in costs after Samsung OEMed IPHONE chips. When the IPHONE chips were first produced, the prices were certainly not cheap.

.

But no matter how expensive it is, it’s still less than 35 US dollars a piece, and that’s based on a five-year contract worth 30 million!

If we follow this price, Xiao Qi's cost for each fantasy chip will increase by about US$20. How much of a squeeze will this have on Xiao Qi's profits?

Xiao Qi felt that the price he offered was very generous. Based on the situation of IPAD and IPHONE, Samsung would not suffer any loss.

However, Li Zhuhao chuckled, "How can it be only 18 US dollars? Mr. Xiao, to tell you the truth, our current microprocessor production line is very busy. If you can't give us a price that we think is reasonable, I'm afraid we won't be able to sell it this time."

There’s nothing I can do to help.”

"Then how much do you want?"

Xiao Qi frowned and was in a bad mood.

Samsung does not pay patent costs, microprocessor technology transfer fees, etc. It is just an OEM production, which is not a problem for them.

Besides, Samsung obviously doesn't care about losses at this time, but only about technological upgrades and industrial training. They are already not losing money at the price of US$18, so why do they insist on proposing such an outrageous price?

"The minimum is 34 US dollars." Li Zhuhao said calmly.

Xiao Qi had already noticed something was wrong, so he kept looking into Li Zhuhao's eyes.

Upon closer inspection, Xiao Qi discovered a hint of indifference and ridicule hidden in Li Zhuhao's eyes when he spoke.

Li Zhuhao is not a frivolous person, otherwise he would not be the chairman of Samsung Electronics, but the meaning of his look is not caused by a gaffe, it must be intentional.

Almost instantly, Xiao Qi thought of Li Houzong, whom he had offended before.

Could it be that he played a bad role in it?

Xiao Qi, whose thoughts were passing by, decided to calm down and not let the Koreans see his anxiety.

My mother once taught Xiao Qi that the more nervous he is, the more relaxed he should be. "Even if you are just pretending, you have to put on a smiling face for me." Xiao Qi has always said this in his past and present lives.

Remembered.

If Xiao Qi was given a choice, as a technical geek in his previous life, he would definitely want to smash the cup on the table to Li Zhuhao immediately, curse for a while and then leave.

But now the boy understands that for the sake of his DreamPad, no matter how angry he is, he has to endure it. Getting angry in front of others, hitting and swearing at others is just a sign of a coward. If he wants to teach him a lesson, he must let Samsung kneel down and beg him in the future.

To cooperate with him, the person who kneels down must be Li Zhuhao, that would be cool.

All right.

Putting this idea aside, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Qi's face: "Okay, that's it for the microprocessor. I don't know what the price of Samsung's NAND flash memory that Executive Jin and I discussed before.

Has there been a change?”

Li Zhuhao was prepared to see Xiao Qi get angry, but he never expected that Xiao Qi would endure it and talk about other business without changing his expression. This would inevitably make Li Zhuhao, who has been in the business circle for decades, feel in his heart

A bad sense of crisis arose: Isn't he such a monster?

But he was an old man after all. He was stunned for a moment and then returned to his normal state: "The price discussed by Executive Jin and Mr. Xiao is our Samsung's final quotation, which is US$25 per piece for 16G and US$50 per piece for 32G.

Five-year contract, 15 million pieces each year. If Mr. Xiao agrees, we can sign the contract today."

Xiao Qi didn't speak, and slowly tapped his fingers on the table, seemingly lost in thought.

Li Zhuhao didn't bother him. After Xiao Qi's obvious patience just now, he actually had some admiration for this young man.

It is really hard to find someone who succeeds at a young age but is not arrogant or arrogant. Even Mr. Li did not have such a broad mind and endurance back then.

I really don’t know if Mr. Li is wise to go against such a person?

In fact, if Jin Chengyong had not basically negotiated the NAND chip cooperation, Li Houzong would have destroyed this. However, Kim Chengyong is not a person without foundation, so blatantly destroying the credit of the negotiation,

The violent backlash caused by this is also something Li Houzong needs to avoid.

"As for NAND memory, let's sign a contract!"

Xiao Qi, who was silent for several minutes and felt that the show was enough, finally nodded.

In any case, as soon as the DreamPad and IPHONE come out, flash memory will definitely be an important piece of hardware that is in short supply. Even if Xiao Qi doesn't use it in his own smartphone, it can still be used as a negotiation cost to obtain patent licenses from other companies. Technology sharing and other benefits.

Anger is anger, business is business.
