Rebirth: Fight For Life

  Chapter 331 Patent Grants Harvest Dollars

Jian Yushu said with a smile: "Everyone has the foundation of friendly cooperation, this is a good start. You can rest assured that Flint Technology will provide a full range of technical support for the licensed patents, helping the licensee to overcome the fastest speed. The process is difficult, mass production as soon as possible. I can provide a friendly news here, the 8-inch wafer 250nm process 3D flash memory chip tape-out project between Flint Technology and Huaxin International has entered a smooth mass production process. The progress is very fast. ."

  Okamura's heart sank. There are many shareholders of Huaxin International, so we have to find a way to confirm this news.

Jian Yushu continued: "In view of the fact that this technology of Flint Technology is still in the stage of breakthrough, the patent implementation licensing method we plan to adopt is a conditional exclusive license. The licensee can only organize production and sales within the scope of China. The unexpected market in Huaguo requires an additional buyout fee. The requirement of Flint Technology is that the two parties jointly promote the popularization of 3D flash memory. Therefore, the licensee needs to provide Flint Technology with a set of advanced 12-inch wafer production line equipment as a license. part of the cost."

   Seeing that everyone was silent, Jian Yushu smiled and said, "The exclusive license period is 3 years. During these three years, a set of frameworks will be exclusively authorized each year. Whether you want to seize these three years depends on your conditions."

  Okamura asked directly: "Aren't you considering transferring?"

  Gu Song replied directly: "The transfer can be discussed after 3 years. I don't reject it."

   "Minister Han, President Gu, the 12-inch wafer production line cannot pass the review of our country." Samsung's President Park said, "The most advanced 8-inch wafer production line is possible."

Gu Song shook his head: "This is nothing to talk about. So, you can invest and build factories in China. As controlling shareholders, Flint Technology will invest in shares with technical authorization. As for the shares held by Flint Technology, I welcome you to add funds through equipment. Way to get Flint Technology out."

   "Isn't this just trying to cover up?"

Gu Song said with a smile: "President Okamura's idiom is very good. Yes, at least in terms of 3D flash memory, the technical blockade of China is meaningless, so why do you want to cover it up? Or, you think I The level provided is not good? I welcome everyone to propose a constructive plan. You can also endure it for three years, after all, patent publication also takes time."

  The representatives of several parties looked at the young man who was chatting and couldn't speak for a while.

   After a long time, Masa Okamura said: "Flint Technology needs to promise that the use of the equipment is limited to the production of 3D flash memory."

  Gu Song nodded: "No problem."

   President Park said: "There needs to be the right to sublicense in an exclusive license."

  Gu Song shrugged: "Yes."

Seeing that there is no problem, Gu Song said: "Everyone, let's talk openly, and decide things today. The patents, equipment, and funds that you have in flash memory can all be priced, and we will evaluate. Everyone understands and understands. China is a country with the theme of peaceful development. Minister Han is also here, and he can promise an official policy guarantee for your investment in China.”

  Han Jingwei nodded, looking forward to it. He said loudly: "Huaguo is about to build an optoelectronic industry belt in Zhonghu Province, which has excellent policy conditions and welcomes your investment. Zhonghu Province has a large population and an excellent workforce of nearly one million college students every year. Flint Technology's flash memory factory under construction has been located in Wuhu."

  Okamura didn't pay attention to this issue, he asked: "Will Huaxin International also be authorized? That is to say, there will be three companies producing 3D flash memory during the same period in the first year?"

   "Yes, Huaxin International will also be authorized. Why, President Okamura has no confidence in Toshiba's technological advantages? Huaxin International only has a production line of 8-inch wafers."

  Okamura is shaking his head: "I'm not concerned about this issue, I want to know, which set of architecture is Huaxin International authorized?"

   "The one with the simplest crafting requirements."

  Okamura stared at Gu Song and said, "But it's also the cheapest set."

  Gu Song looked at him with a smile: "What? President Okamura also wants that set of plans? It's not the plan with the lowest marginal cost."

   "Which plan will Flint Technology adopt?"

   "I'm at a loss, using that set of craftsmanship is the most difficult."

  Okamura frowned.

  According to their internal assessment, the solution with the most difficult process is also the solution with the largest theoretical growth potential in the future, but requires more advanced process equipment. How dare Flint Technology choose this set? Is his confidence really as strong as Shiori said?

  Toshiba is under a lot of pressure now, and he really wants to use the set with the lowest initial investment cost.

  Gu Song has a good time to tidy up, the current situation is to be weighed by each family.

  Micron and Hynix basically can only throw money, Samsung has more chips, it has the largest market share and the most abundant equipment reserves. Toshiba owns the basic patent of flash memory, which can reduce some costs in cross-licensing.

   said it was an open bid, but after thinking about it again and again, they still wrote down their conditions with pen and paper, and asked the assistant to hand them over here.

   Sasaki Shiori handed Gu Song the conditions written down by Okamura Masa, and gave Gu Song and Jian Yushu a watery look.

   Jian Yushu smiled politely.

  Gu Song and Han Jingwei got together to see the conditions of each family.

  From the perspective of Han Jingwei, I feel that Samsung has the most favorable conditions. Invested US$2 billion to build three 12-inch wafer production lines, one of which was "entrusted" to Flint Technology for production management. In addition, it is willing to pay $700 million for a one-time "buy out" of Flint Technology's shares, as a fee for obtaining an exclusive license for 3 years, and the global sales license is priced at $80 million per year.

   In simple terms, it is an advanced 12-inch wafer production line + US$780 million, with a 3-year exclusive production license plus global sales authorization.

   But from Gu Song's point of view, he wanted to hold back the rising momentum of Samsung. Behind this guy is a strong opponent in the smartphone segment, which will play a role in suppressing the growth of their semiconductor business line.

   Toshiba’s conditions were a bit worse, 1 billion US dollars, an investment in a production line, a production line for Flint Technology plus a 600 million US dollar share buyout, and the global sales authorization was only bid 50 million yuan. Of course, Toshiba's flash memory basic patent licensing has been included.

   Of course, each company gave a one-time offer to directly transfer a certain set of patents, trying to impress him.

   looks very tempting, but we must let Xinhuo gain a foothold first.

   Let's wait for the bombs of the new generation of lithography machines to be thrown out, and then pit them in advance.

Gu Song nodded: "I am a very straightforward person, everyone expressed sincerity, and I will not bargain. Once a partner is confirmed, everyone may go faster than Flint Technology. I hope everyone can remember Flint Technology. Thanks to the generosity of the partner I have chosen, compared to the future flash memory market size, the proportion of patent costs is less than 3%. We are committed to using technology to promote the progress of human society.”

   The representatives of several families were overjoyed at first, and then sneered in their hearts together.

   Gu Song, no matter what they thought, smiled kindly: "Then the first set of architectures exclusively licensed this year will be obtained by Toshiba."

   Sasaki Shiori opened her big watery eyes and showed gratitude towards Yushu-sang.

   Thanks to minman for the monthly pass
