Yan Ming was very committed to the agreement. On the third day of the agreement, he brought about twenty people to Jiangda's software laboratory.

The laboratory has already been prepared, and everyone has notified it, sticking to the post, ready to explain to the Huawei technicians who are coming to check the code at any time. Ning Wei also called Liu Cong over early that day.

The first time is to be familiar with each other, and the second time if both parties intend to have a deep conversation, I would rather prepare to formally recommend Liu Cong to Yan Ming.

...

The communication did not focus on making a report. Because there was no need to explain the various functions of this EDA software and the goals that Ning Wei hoped to achieve.

Three days is enough for Huawei to study the extremely detailed PPT he did very thoroughly, and then open it several times to find out whether to cooperate and determine the principles of cooperation.

So Ning Wei was extremely open-minded and asked Professor Xu to show this semi-finished EDA software to Huawei visitors, and directly took out the source code for visiting Huawei engineers to review.

A lab member is in charge of two Huawei engineers, sitting aside, ready to answer questions at any time.

In five months, the project team had more than ten people, nearly one million lines of code and tens of thousands of documents matching, and they were randomly reviewed.

In this case, the laboratory should be very noisy. After all, there are nearly forty people in the laboratories on both sides. Each group can make the laboratory full of "buzzing" sounds.

But the reality is that most of the time in the laboratory is quiet, and you can even clearly hear the sound of the mouse clicking.

Occasionally, there will be one or two problems, but more often, no one will say anything.

If you want to sort the things that programmers dislike the most, check the codes you follow will definitely be on the list.

What's good to watch, but I can't understand it, it's messy, and I'll get annoyed after reading it!

But this time it is obviously a relatively alternative feeling. You can probably know the functions that this program wants to implement by scanning the function name at a glance; the annotations are more accurate, easy to understand, concise and clear at a glance, especially the functional code modules

Many functions that can actually be understood through standard function naming still have concise and detailed annotations. However, this is not over yet. Each major function has detailed documentation to supplement, the functions used, hyperlinks show, what input parameters are there in each class, what are the uses of these input parameters, inheritance relationships, and inclusion relationships, and all are recorded in detail.

What I saw gave many Huawei engineers an illusion, how could this be a software laboratory? Are these professors simply doing a software project? I'm afraid this is not a courseware for cultivating students, right? Really, it's not inconsistent to write such code directly into the textbook.

During the break, a group of people began to complain.

"Is Jiangda's code quality so high?"

"It's better not to hurry up the construction period! If the partners provide this kind of code quality, our workload will be at least five times less."

"That's not necessarily true. I heard that this project team was only launched in November last year. It's only been five months since the full plan. It's not too slow, right?"

"Hey, Cheng Guowen, I remember you graduated from Jiangda before. By the way, why haven't you ever seen you learn this rigorous code style of Jiangda?"

"You guys know nothing! Don't you know that Jiangda is the most low-key school in the world? I have to be low-key too! Otherwise, wouldn't it seem out of place with you? This is also inheriting Jiangda's style! Understand?"

"roll!"

...

The exchange plan lasted for three days, but on the end of the first day of the exchange, Yan Ming, who received a preliminary report, decided to promote this cooperation.

In fact, it has nothing to do with the unexpected high quality of the code. The conclusion of the internal meeting was that as long as this EDA software could really be used and designed immediately for network equipment, the cooperation must be facilitated.

Think about it, once a network device that can effectively isolate malicious crawlers to crawl various sensitive data at the hardware level and can actively defend against DDOS attacks is officially launched, how huge will this market be?

Just one step ahead of the competitors can establish a more secure awareness of Huawei's network products in the public's minds, which is invaluable for the improvement of brand value.

The high quality of the code can also be considered an unexpected surprise.

The first formal exchange of opinions was held in Lu Changbin's office.

A total of four people participated, Yan Ming, Lu Changbin, Ning Wei and Liu Cong.

Apart from a stroke, it just represents the rights and interests of the three parties.

"Let's talk straight to the point. Huawei is very interested in this cooperation, so I want to first listen to the cooperation model proposed by Mr. Ning Wei."

"Director He, Mr. Yan, this is what I think. First of all, Huawei invested to purchase the right to use EDA software from me and the laboratory. After determining the ownership of the right to use the minimalist EDA software, the laboratory and Huawei can form a strategic partnership. The two parties will continue to develop in-depth, work and cooperate in this topic, and continue to enrich the various software functions of the minimalist EDA pre-planned plan. You will talk to Mr. Yan about which cooperation method to adopt, and I will not interfere."

"Second, for the turbulence algorithm, I will authorize this algorithm to minimalist EDA. I think the specific patent authorization fee can be calculated based on the amount of use. In the future, every time Huawei sells a device equipped with a turbulence algorithm chip, it will pay me a patent fee. I have carefully considered it and I will charge an eight yuan patent fee for each unit and settle it quarterly."

"Third, I will account for 20% of the revenue generated after the minimalist EDA software is made in the future and officially launched into the market. My request is probably like this. In addition, after putting aside the matter here, I may not have much energy to deal with these things, so I fully entrust Liu Cong to handle these matters on my behalf. This is probably what I think. What do you think?"

Yan Ming and Lu Changbin looked at each other.

Yan Ming pondered for a while and said, "I personally think the problem is not a big deal, but some of the details still need to be sorted out. Let's not talk about the cooperation model between us and the laboratory. It is reasonable for Huawei to invest and only get the EDA usage rights, but if we participate in the development of EDA software, but if we only have the right to use it, isn't it reasonable? Moreover, the turbulence algorithm is authorized to the minimalist EDA, rather than directly authorized to Huawei for use. This may lead to legal problems in the future cooperation process."

Lu Changbin smiled and continued, "If Yan is always worried about any conflicts in the future, I think it can be discussed. I roughly understand that Yan is always worried about the future promotion of minimalist EDA stage, there may be some preferential policies, such as giving certain discounts when using turbulence algorithms. Why not do this? I will help Ning to make the decision. In the contract, I will directly write clearly that the patent authorization fee for other competitors using turbulence algorithm chips in the future must not be lower than the authorization fee for Huawei. How about it?"

"So what about using the turbulence algorithm software version? For example, if Huawei wants to upgrade turbulence algorithm protection to Huawei Cloud customers for free, can it be used directly?" Yan Ming asked again.

"No, no, no, these are two different things."

Before Ning Wei could answer, Lu Changbin's head shook like a rattle, then looked at Ning Wei and said, "I have a suggestion to directly divide the turbulence algorithm into two parts: hardware and software. Designed to write the algorithm to the chip, it is the hardware field, so it is as you just said. In addition, the software version of the turbulence algorithm is already mature, and you can sign another authorization contract."

Ning Wei blinked, OK, this is Director Lu helping him maximize profits, so he naturally had no objection and simply nodded.

Yan Ming smiled and said, "It is acceptable to arrive, so how to settle the patent licensing fee for this part?"

Ning Wei glanced at Lu Changbin.

Ning Wei really didn't think about this dollar.

The key is that there is nothing to refer to, and it is not that you are afraid of losing. The key is that you have no experience and authorize it. In the future, you will be very passive when you authorize it to the outside world again.

Lu Changbin understood Ning Wei's meaning, pondered for a moment, and said, "Which price, Mr. Yan thinks is the right price?"

"I have an idea, why not like this. We can invest in the establishment of a company that specializes in operating external authorization for the turbulence algorithm software. Our company will contribute capital. You invest with technology and the income generated will be distributed according to shares?" Yan Ming gave a suggestion.

Ning Wei shook his head and said, "It's so troublesome. First, the two parties who authorize externally make a joint decision. I think it may be unfavorable to the future promotion of turbulence algorithms; second, I don't want to participate in company decisions, so it's better to be simple and set a unified external software part of the authorization fee. If someone wants to use it, just buy it directly."

Lu Changbin immediately nodded and said, "I think it is feasible. For example, you can determine the patent licensing fee based on the scale of the other party's company or the amount of traffic in years. And I think the price should not be too high, otherwise it will affect the initial promotion of software products."

Yan Ming asked: "So who will operate it? Who will sign a contract with if Huawei wants to obtain the authorization?"

Ning Wei was a little stunned.

These questions...

As long as money is involved, it will immediately become extremely complicated.

Ning Wei's eyes fell on Liu Cong who was beside him: "I fully entrust Liu Cong to deal with this matter. We can simplify these issues. I will provide a bank account specifically for charging patent licensing fees for turbulence algorithms. Huawei's future hardware part can also be entitled to the card quarterly."

After all the words, Yan Ming and Lu Changbin were stunned.

Yan Ming couldn't help but start to popularize Ning Wei: "No, Ning Wei, you probably don't know much about Huawei's sales volume in network equipment. Last year, we accounted for 34% of the global equipment market in ONT. We sold more than 500 million devices in total. In the future, we plan to add turbulence algorithm chips to all products. According to our preliminary estimates, we will take the time of re-planning of chips and motherboards. By the second half of the year, we can start to sell at least 400 million latest products equipped with turbulence algorithm chips. Even according to the licensing fee of 8 yuan per unit, there may be about 3.2 billion yuan in patent licensing fee by the end of this year."

"So you want to transfer all this money into your personal account? You are a natural person. According to the national tax law, we need to withhold and pay. I will help you calculate how much tax you have to pay every year for this authorization fee alone! First, use the royalty to deduct 20% of the exemption part, which is about 600 million yuan. Then there is the personal income tax part, and the part with an annual income of more than 960,000 yuan needs to pay 45% of the personal income tax."

"Compared with your income, this 960,000 is negligible, that is, for the remaining 2.5 billion, you have to continue to pay about 1.1 billion personal income tax. In the end, the 3.2 billion patent licensing fee this year may be less than 1.5 billion! And if you apply for various high-tech exemption policies in the form of a company, you will only need to pay about 700 million taxes in the end."

Hearing this, Ning Weiwei was stunned.

It’s not because I have to pay too much taxes, but because I just said that the currency unit is 100 million yuan?

Just make 1.5 billion yuan if you don’t do anything a year, and exceed one small goal every month?

Ning Wei looked at Yan Ming blankly, and this joke seemed a bit too big.

He was not ready to become a billionaire. He had known that he should have studied the demand for world network equipment first and then made a judgment on the overall market. However, he has been busy recently and is full of codes and future plans after he has been free from the project. He has not paid much attention to the huge benefits brought by turbulence algorithms.

It's over, he's going to become a billionaire if he is accidentally.

It was so ironic that he suddenly thought of Cisco's offer. He attended Princeton University with a paid $800,000 a year. If he went there, he didn't know if his research results would be someone else's?

No wonder those executives with a net worth of over 100 million have such a low attitude in front of him. They not only respect him, but also respect his ability to make money.

As for Liu Cong around Ning Wei, he was probably even worse than him.

At this time, his feeling was probably that what these people discussed had entered the field of metaphysics. He was just a fresh graduate who hoped to get 10,000 yuan a month after graduation and pay social security provident fund to meet. The topic of 1.5 billion yuan after tax is an annual income, which is a bit too distant from his current goal...

"So, Mr. Ning, are you also considering patent authorization as a natural person?" Yan Ming asked again.

"No, Mr. Yan, if you said, I can get more than one billion after tax revenue with patent authorization every year. Why do I still have to check how much tax I have paid? Moreover, I think it's good to withhold and pay, so I don't need to calculate how much tax I need to pay. Every year, I just need to confirm it when the remittance is settled. This is pretty good. I decided, let's do it like this."

"As for the charges for the turbulence software part, I also entrusted the laboratory to conduct research before confirming it. The research fee will be deducted from the software profit in the future, right? Is it OK, Director Lu."
