Chapter 271 Momentum
"Technological innovation is the real productivity. I admire it."
The representative from Siemens who came to sign the contract was full of emotion after signing the corresponding agreement.
As the only non-Dapiao company among the three EDA giants, he can deeply feel how strong Dapiao's control over these fields is.
Although Umbrella also has a base in Da Piaoliang, because it is not listed, it is still independent of Da Piaoliang's old capital.
But it was this young enterprise that tore a huge crack in this tough barrier!
The global EDA market is only worth about US$10 billion, which is relatively small compared to other semiconductor fields.
But there is no doubt that EDA plays a very important role.
These three giants account for 70% of the global market share and have sufficient accumulation of talents, patents, technology and even data reserves. They maintain close ties with the upstream and downstream first-line semiconductor industries and can obtain first-hand data.
Relying on these, they can firmly sit at the top of the current EDA market!
It can be said that if we want to challenge and catch up with them, it will definitely be a long-term and major project.
However, Umbrella was different. Relying on the advantages of artificial intelligence and supercomputers, it directly launched a dimensionality reduction attack and crushed them to the ground in an instant!
All the accumulation seemed to vanish overnight!
Fortunately, their foundation is solid enough, and all kinds of data have been used by Umbrella. Relying on the constraints of the rules of the game, they have the qualifications to bargain now.
Because it is not convenient for Umbrella to sell the products it has produced, the three major EDA manufacturers were able to reach the current agreement with the funding of several chip manufacturers.
EDA Fab 3 purchased optimization and upgrade services and Red Queen's connectivity functions from Umbrella, and the money was paid jointly by the chip manufacturer and EDA Fab 3.
At the same time, various chip manufacturers completed cross-exchange of patents with Umbrella, which led to the current situation.
That is, Umbrella obtained the right to use many practical chip patents, including the "Qualcomm tax" patent, and obtained a large amount of cash flow, but the price was the strengthening of the design capabilities of its friendly competitors.
At the same time, it also avoids the risk of Umbrella's "monopoly"!
Just one move was equivalent to allowing Umbrella to tear off an important piece in the semiconductor field.
Just one design allowed Umbrella to gain a firm foothold in the field of chip design!
It is equivalent to other companies using money and patents to purchase the qualification to compete on the same stage with Umbrella.
After the software optimization, we cannot say that all manufacturers will be able to match Umbrella's chips in the future, but at least there is a possibility of catching up and sharing the market, instead of being unable to solve the problem that the "White Queen" faced in front of engineers from major manufacturers before.
Similar to mobile phone factories, they pay money as protection fees in exchange for a chance to survive!
Today, the world continues to thrive after the 2008 financial crisis and the new engine of economic growth can be said to have a huge connection with mobile Internet.
To some extent, the popularization of smartphones is equivalent to half a revolution.
However, Umbrella's several actions have established its position as the mainstay of this wave!
《If it goes on the market, it will surpass fruit! 》
《Unicorn companies that seized the opportunity to take off! 》
"Companies that have taken away most of the profits from the smartphone boom!"
After the EDA negotiations were completed and Umbrella obtained both funding and patents, a large number of media outlets such as CNN also focused on reporting Umbrella's deeds.
Clearly, CNN had published a related report some time ago that was very critical of the company, but now it has immediately changed its tone without any hesitation, nor does it feel the slightest bit of shame.
ashamed?
What is that!
All kinds of gorgeous words, all kinds of highly praised words, they are blown to the sky and on earth.
It seems that in the new field, all manufacturers are vulnerable to Umbrella.
But there is no doubt that this is definitely a means of flattery, although it is bragging, it is not well-intentioned.
However, a lot of what these media said is indeed true.
Today, Umbrella can be said to have just entered the mobile phone field.
At first, it attracted attention because of the super battery life.
However, what no one expected was that Umbrella, which was only testing the waters, would become a huge success once it entered the mobile phone field.
As strong as fruits, four-star players can only bow down to Umbrella and make corresponding compromises!
Due to its limited shipment volume, Umbrella currently does not occupy much of the global mobile phone market share.
However, the hardware of batteries, screens, and cameras, the integrated technology, the software enhancements of artificial intelligence, and the newly emerging field of chips, even if they have just started, can make people see Umbrella's massive money-making ability in the future!
These negotiations, compromises, and cooperation are just a beginning, a beginning to unlock Umbrella's ability to make money!
To be frank, if it weren't for the biochemical incident at Seoul University, and Umbrella's extremely strong response of "I really have it!", coupled with Umbrella's terrifying individual combat capabilities and special operations capabilities.
Umbrella, which had not gone public and had not let the Wall Street giants reap the profits, would have deserved to die ten times!
Various targeted bills have emerged, various executive entrapments, various sanctions, various real business wars, and even false charges may be imposed.
Ultra-performance batteries represent new energy and the future.
Smartphones have opened up a new trend and will be the core of the next few years.
Artificial intelligence has also begun to show its potential.
Holding these two major interests at the same time is enough to start a war!
A real war!
But now this situation was stabilized by Umbrella.
In addition to the ultimate trump card of super special operations and "biochemical" cooperation that may appear at any time in various parts of the world and break through various defenses.
Umbrella's "knowledge" can be said to be of utmost importance.
Artificial intelligence external authorization, integrated authorization, chip design authorization, battery sales, opening factories in multiple locations, and even the direct sale of electrode materials is being considered.
Although Umbrella made a huge profit, it also successfully completed a redistribution that was within the range that all parties could barely accept.
But even so, Lin Shiqin also reminded Wang Yi that now all parties are constantly increasing their vigilance and fear of Umbrella.
after all……
Umbrella’s appearance was too short, so short that there was no time to react, and it became a giant monster that was a little difficult to understand.
Now many voices such as "alien spy", "real Umbrella", "mastermind" and so on have appeared.
It's hard to say whether it was formed naturally or released intentionally...
…
“Money is different from money.”
Wang Yi also felt a little emotional after hearing some of the information reported by Lin Shiqin.
In fact, Umbrella has never stopped its impact investment and is still acquiring equity in some companies and getting some seats.
But it is subject to corresponding restrictions everywhere.
It seems that both sides of Da Meili have conflicts with Umbrella.
In fact, there is also the shadow of the organization behind the Sackler family behind this.
They are all US dollars, but the effects of US dollars are different. It's really ironic.
"But it's true. If they were really the same, then the country's huge foreign exchange reserves would have caught up with everything."
After a certain point, money itself is just a certificate for exchanging goods, nothing more.
The reason why the Norwegian shipping magnate was held at the mercy of Umbrella was because the things he lost could not be measured simply by money.
"Okay, that's about it. Now we'll focus on recruiting more research talents. We have enough ways to make money for now. We'll continue to share the profits with Purdue Pharma and send two new immunoglobulins over to attract attention. We'll continue to increase investment in ship platforms and use the extra money to order more precision machine tools..."
"Understood. In fact, Boss, you can try to tackle some life span-related technologies. This should be enough to win over a group of guys who are afraid of death."
Lin Shiqin suggested with a smile.
"Oh~, are they worthy?"
Wang Yi stood in front of the window, looking down at the sea in front of him, with a cold blue light in his eyes.
He doesn't mind short-term commercial compromises, but he'd better forget it if he has to develop a few technologies that cannot be popularized specifically for that group of people.
These things reminded Wang Yi of some bad memories.
The capital city that was razed to the ground by his own army of undead, and the begging faces of the nobles and royal family in the end were really disgusting...
