Chapter 491: Ambitions in Technology Expansion

In negotiations, relevant facts should be reported. Zhang Ke also explained Cheng Hanzhang's questions in detail as much as possible.

"The contract naturally has no loopholes," Zhang Ke said with a smile. "According to the agreement between Kumho and TI and Scooper, Kumho will restrict the transfer of relevant patented technologies to third parties and restrict Kumho from developing related products by himself. Of course, these restrictions only prohibit Kumho from entering the field of super VCD disc dedicated decoding chips..."

TI and Scope are not fools. Even if Chen Xinsheng is interested in helping Kumho, the cooperation agreement will eventually be confirmed by TI's headquarters before it can be established. The three companies cooperate with TI, Scopepe is still the only two suppliers of disc decoding boards. Kumho only shares the profits of disc decoding boards with the two.

Cheng Hanzhang almost grasped Zhang Ke's idea, but he asked subconsciously: "Since Jinhu cannot get involved in the field of super VCD disc dedicated decoding boards, why should he develop a third-generation decoding chip with ** intellectual property rights?"

"The cooperation agreement between the three companies does not restrict Kumho from developing higher-spec decoding chips on this basis or using this decoding chip for other consumer electronic products..." Zhang Ke said calmly, "Even from the perspective of technical accumulation, Aida Electronics needs to have the complete technology of the third-generation decoding chip..."

Developing higher-spec decoding chips and using them for other electronic products, either of which shows Kumho's ambition to expand technology in the field of consumer electronics. Of course, technological expansion will not be limited to the narrow field of digital signal decoding.

Cheng Hanzhang and Xiao Jincheng were silent for a while, but Xiao Jincheng said first: "The success of Ida Electronics is not a lucky one. With Jinhu as a support, I think Ida Electronics maintains its technological leadership in the field of disc machines for a considerable period of time..."

Zhang Ke smiled and said, "What do you think about the market and technical prospects of super VCD and DVD?"

Cheng Hanzhang said: "In terms of technology, super VCD is not an advantage, and it can even be said to have many disadvantages. However, the technical advantages of DVDs cannot be fully reflected in discs and current color TVs. Especially when developing high-storage discs that match super VCDs, the technical advantages of DVDs will be even more bleak; I want to develop high-storage discs. For companies like TI, Scooper, and Philips, it should not be very difficult, right?"

It is of course not difficult to develop high-storage CDs. The only thing to consider is to make the outside world believe that this was developed by pirated disc manufacturers themselves.

Xiao Jincheng has always been in charge of ESS business. He saw that Aida Electronics, TI, Scooper and Philips jointly released some data on Super VCD, and made a judgment on the previous market prospects. He said: "The final decisive role is the market and intellectual property factors. In the eyes of others, it may be strange why Aida Electronics does not occupy this market, but the strategy of bringing domestic mainstream disc machine manufacturers into it is more clever. Only in this way can it be possible to eventually form a situation where DVDs dominate the European and American markets and super VCDs dominate the emerging markets, as long as there are no obstacles in intellectual property rights..."

It will take at least seven or eight years for intellectual property protection to make practical progress in domestic and emerging markets. Even if the efforts in intellectual property protection should be improved to a level comparable to those of European and American countries in seven or eight years, it will take a long way to go.

Therefore, the struggle between super VCD and DVD in emerging markets depends largely on market factors.

Although Cheng Hanzhang and Xiao Jincheng did not know how much profit Kumho could share from the third-generation decoding chip, Kumho formed a complete technical structure in the production of disc machines from decoding chips, movements, control chips and other components to all links of the entire machine. Such disc machine companies are almost impossible to be threatened by those intermediary disc machine manufacturers with weak technical strength, and can even dominate the fate of similar disc machine manufacturers. The so-called six test manufacturers quotas were probably from Kumho's wishes.

Cheng Hanzhang and Xiao Jincheng also understood that if ESS's work in one year is nothing, accepting Kumho's merger and acquisition, and developing a decoding chip with ** intellectual property rights with Kumho's technical support is the only way out.

Cheng Hanzhang and Xiao Jincheng had no extra choice. The best way out they could think of was to sell ESS, otherwise they would have to declare bankruptcy and close ESS. The technical achievements obtained from the development of decoding chips for one year still have their own value, which is undoubtedly an unexpected surprise. At present, these technical achievements are not of great value to other companies except for being valuable to Kumho.

The key is how much money Kumho is willing to pay to buy ESS and all the technical achievements under ESS, and also to take Cheng Hanzhang and Xiao Jincheng into his subordinates.

Of course, neither side could discuss these issues too eagerly. In the end, Zhang Ke said to Cheng Hanzhang and Xiao Jincheng: "In the past few days, Haizhou is relatively lively than before. Let Jinhu be the host and entertain the two of you with kindness, which will also facilitate the two of you to have a deeper understanding of Jinhu, so that you will have more consistent expectations for the future..."

Cheng Hanzhang and Xiao Jincheng's reception was under the responsibility of the Jinhu Electronic Technology Research Institute. The specific negotiations were still waiting for Cheng Hanzhang. Xiao Jincheng had a deeper understanding of Jinhu, and it might be smoother. After all, if Cheng Hanzhang and Xiao Jincheng were taken under their jurisdiction, there would be an option incentive part in the salary structure they gave them, so they had to understand that Jinhu's ambitions in technological expansion were not the luxury of Wangyue in the well.

When Zhang Ke and the others finished the conversation, there were no other guests in Ba Jinzhen except their table, and the waiters also got off work. Before, they asked the waiters to take away all the dishes and set up the kung fu tea to talk. Zhang Ke stood up and saw Chen Qi's wife Liu Fen waiting in the hall. He realized that it was already very late. He felt very guilty and apologized: "No need to hurry up, we will leave immediately... I don't know that if you remind me, we will go to the bar behind to chat."

Liu Fen joked: "Haozhou Ke, how many courage do we have to remind you of time."

"Auntie Fen, you are scolding me," Zhang Ke screamed intimately. Xu Si and Xu Wei called Liu Fen like this, glanced at Chen Feirong. Her face was slightly red, her lips were slightly pursed, perhaps to cover up the smile at the corner of her mouth.

Chen Qi asked Zhang Ke if he wanted to prepare midnight snacks for them. Zhang Ke knew that Ba Jinzhen did not make midnight snacks, so it would be fine if it was earlier. At this time, the waiters had already gotten off work, so how could they bother others?

When I returned to Xinjinyuan, there were few buildings with lights on, only the street lights among the shade of trees emitted orange lights, and the lights of Wanqing's house were also turned off. After Xu Xueping went to Beijing to take office, Wanqing took Zhitong back to her in the past few days. The buildings on the school side had been completed, but to reach the first-class level, it was still very stressful to build software and hardware in the next six months.

The courtyard wall is made of iron fences and hedges. In winter, the hedges are sparse and light is shining. Perhaps the lights are on in the living room. Zhang Ke felt strange: Who will be there at home at this time? Zhang Ke pushed the door and walked into the hall. He saw Wan Qing curled up on the sofa in the living room, wearing a light purple cashmere sweater wrapped around her hips. She had a long curve and elegant curve. She held her chest in her hands and lies on her side. Her chest was full, and her beautiful face in her sleep showed mature and plump charm and charm.

Wanqing lies on the sofa like this, and the spring scenery is filled with the room.

Although the living room was air conditioned, the space on the jump floor was large and the heating effect was not obvious. Seeing Wanqing curled up to sleep, Zhang Ke touched her hand, and there was some ice. He ran upstairs to hold a thin silk quilt to cover her body, and then went to the kitchen to open the refrigerator to see that there was nothing that could serve as a midnight snack.

He was indeed a little hungry, but he didn't have the nerve to ask Chen Qi to prepare another midnight snack for them, so he insisted on leaving. Zhang Ke brewed coffee and mixed it with milk and sugar, but he was not afraid of being hungry at night.

Looking at the attractive curves of Wan Qing's delicate body on the sofa in the living room, smelling the rich aroma of coffee coming from the coffee pot, and the quietness of the whole night was really good. Zhang Ke looked up and took out two exquisite bone porcelain cups from the cupboard, whistling the gray magpies in his mouth, poured the coffee into the cup, added sugar, mixed with thick fresh milk, and brought it to the living room. He just put the coffee on the coffee table and sat down on a corner of the sofa left by Wan Qing's belly. Wan Qing woke up at the right time, picked up Zhang Ke from behind, put his head on Zhang Ke's shoulders, the woman's body smell was stronger than the coffee in front of her, and Wan Qing's delicate red lips attached to her ears and whispered softly: "Zhitong sleeps with the two girls from Li Mingyu's family tonight... I'll wait for you until now."
