Chapter 764(2/2)
Hearing this, Wen Yeyi reported: "In terms of public opinion, both at home and abroad are at the forefront of demonization..."
"The public contact numbers of cutting-edge science, especially cutting-edge companies, have been blown up by media reporters and related busybodies."
"..."
"The impact caused by version 3.5 is very great, and many parties have inquired, including the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology."
"..."
To sum up, it is a mess.
Because the timing of version 3.5 released by Nuwa Lab was quite coincidental, plus iOS5 was targeted to a great extent, and Steve Jobs passed away suddenly;
As a result, many young and middle-aged American dog lickers in China feel very unhappy.
Overall, it brought a lot of pressure from public opinion to the frontier.
Many media are eager for major hot topics, including the corresponding satellite TV media, and naturally add fuel to the fire.
According to incomplete statistics reported by Guyu, in just over a day from the morning of the 6th to now, more than 20 TV media have launched expert interviews on related matters.
In comparison, some senior intellectuals who are around 40 years old and have studied abroad have high regard for foreign countries, especially the United States.
Willing to be a dog licker.
There is no room for flaws in American companies.
Let’s put it this way, the domestic reports on Steve Jobs’s death are endless.
And it just so happened that Frontier Nuwa Laboratory had an episode in advance, and countless American dog-lickers with expert titles couldn't help it.
This part brings the greatest pressure of public opinion to the frontier.
I can't say it's troublesome, just disgusting.
Secondly, many people are concerned about whether Frontier will publish news related to the death of Steve Jobs.
Then there are various interest events.
Therefore, Wen Ye and Gu Yu are two different in size these two days.
However, although some people like it endlessly, the two of them can handle it. In fact, the biggest pressure is that Wen Ye and Gu Yu can't make up their minds, namely:
What role should Frontier play in relevant public opinion and how to obtain better benefits?
After understanding the matter, Fang Nian said calmly: "It doesn't matter what the role is. In a word, Frontier will not use the incident of Steve Jobs's death for marketing, but we should not let go of targeting the launch of iPhone 4S."
"There is no need to respond to relevant public opinions. It is other people's business if they are too busy."
"Understood?"
Wen Ye and Gu Yu nodded.
Then Wen Ye talked about other things: "Mr. Fang, some other things have happened in the past few days."
"Xiaomi has officially launched its overseas plan and will launch Xiaomi 1S and Redmi 1 in European and American markets on October 31."
"The relevant information has not been made public yet, but Frontier Science has been informed."
"..."
"Nuwa Laboratory has completed the pre-research of the English version of 'Xiaowa', and the next stage is stability testing."
"Zheng Jinrong from Samsung Electronics came to China and expressed his expectation to discuss further cooperation matters with Frontier Science as soon as possible."
At this point, Wen Ye paused for a moment, changed the subject and said: "Samsung Electronics has slightly changed its system authorization settlement method in the domestic market;
The first batch of 1 million system authorization fees were prepaid in advance, and the second batch was settled on a monthly basis;
Samsung Electronics settled the payment on the 30th of last month, but because the bank did not process it, it was not included in the revenue data for the first three quarters;
After Zheng Jinrong put forward the demand for negotiation, he said that Samsung Electronics settled the third batch of payments first;
According to Zheng Jinrong, the total of these two amounts is approximately 4.48 billion."
Hearing this, Fang Nian was a little puzzled: "This number is a bit strange, what is it?"
"Samsung Electronics wants to complete the contract ahead of schedule." Onye explained.
“Because Nuwa Labs’ licensing fees are based on a percentage of the machine’s retail price, Samsung Electronics took advantage of this loophole;
Nuwa Laboratory has authorized a total of 18 million licenses, respectively for two models;
There are 6 million licenses given to a low-end model, with a retail price of about 1,500 yuan, which was originally equipped with the Bada system;
Among them, S2 has paid licensing fees for 11 million units, and the licensing fees for 1 million units have not been settled in advance.”
Fang Nian smiled and corrected: "This is not an exploit, at most it is a problem left over from history."
“However, our external attitude must be clear: this pricing strategy is for the sake of fairness;
No matter how the major manufacturers set their prices or sell them, we charge the market retail price anyway, even if it is a machine customized by the operator, we still charge it at the retail price."
After a pause, Fang Nian took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Since Samsung Electronics wants to complete the contract in advance, it has made sufficient preparations and has also canceled the promotion of the Bada system in the domestic market;
Then we can also be more proactive and reply to them to discuss it after they officially go to work tomorrow."
Wen Ye responded: "Okay."
"..."
Then, Wen Ye continued: "Baize's team officially set off to Wanwan yesterday to dissemble Shenlong 2."
"Academician Chen Jianye hopes to have a call with you."
"Dr. Su Zifeng also hopes to have a direct call with you to determine the next stage of the specific development of the White Dragon series."
"..."
After listening to Wen Ye's words, Fang Nian looked at Gu Yu: "Xiao Gu, do you have anything to add?"
Guyu shook his head.
Fang Nian looked at the time and made a gesture: "Then let's stay and have a meal together."
Then he added: "By the way, let Nuwa Lab update Xiaowa's English language support to the outside world and promote the exposure of this update on overseas social platforms."
"I'm going to take care of Bai Ze's matter."
"..."
Wen Ye and Gu Yu nodded and went to join Mr. Guan and Mr. Lu for lunch.
Fang Nian went to the yard and dialed Su Zifeng's number first.
"Dr. Su."
"Hello, Mr. Fang."
"..."
Su Zifeng didn't waste any nonsense and directly reported the relevant matters in Chinese: "That's it, we decided to start the second architecture design of the Bailong product line."
"..."
"We named it 'Chu'."
"..."
After listening to Su Zifeng's report, Fang Nian smiled slightly: "Dr. Su, you can decide the specific matters of product series planning by yourself. There is no need to report the details to me."
"I totally agree with you."
"As I said before, I look forward to seeing the answer sheet that Bai Ze hands over."
Su Zifeng was stunned for a moment and subconsciously reminded: "Mr. Fang, the first phase of the new architecture design has a R&D budget of RMB 500 million."
Hearing this, Fang Nian smiled: "The arrangements for R&D funds can be submitted for approval according to relevant procedures."
"Dr. Su, Frontier has always been supportive of beneficial R&D attempts, especially the product line you are in charge of. There is no need to worry about R&D funding."
Su Zifeng: "I understand."
"..."
As of today, Luzhou Qianlian still has more than 5 billion in funds on its account.
Although it includes 1.5 billion in nuclear high-tech infrastructure projects funded by fiscal expenditures.
However, excluding this part of the money that is entirely used for large CPU projects, the capital ratio of more than 3.5 billion is fully sufficient to support Luzhou Frontier's total monthly investment of 1 billion in R&D funds for other projects.
Because these funds are planned to be basically spent within this year.
Moreover, Frontier will no longer take away Luzhou Frontier’s revenue in the future.
It will even plan to give part of the money to Luzhou Frontier after the 15 billion loan is received, and budget part of the research and development funds for next year.
Until about 2013, Luzhou Frontier will receive a one-time support of 50 billion+ from Miaowei’s commitment to invest from related funds. That will be the time when Luzhou Frontier can take off independently...
