Chapter 452 Guidance on the Vertical Procurement System
Apple's pause lasted longer than expected.
The whole afternoon, the group was discussing in Jobs' room.
After dinner, everyone gathered in the living room of Mr. Qiao's suite.
Jobs glanced at his watch. His watch was still in the downtown area of Silicon Valley, and it was still four o'clock in the morning there.
"I guess I'll have to wait a little longer. Have you read the technical documents in the afternoon?" Although Jobs didn't like the people on the board of directors, it would be unreasonable to reach such a far-reaching cooperation with Yuanxin without the support of those on the board of directors.
"I've seen it, and honestly, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard for me to believe that they would have such an advanced theory in architecture." Ruins replied with a sigh.
Jobs only knows the basics of chip design. For him, chips are just tools to process data and realize product requirements. As for whether the architecture is advanced or where it is advanced, he really can't tell.
“Where is their architecture advanced?”
"It is to solve the exchange and communication of data between modules." Ruins also knew that his boss was not a chip, so he did not explain it in a long way, but used a vivid metaphor: "If the current yx architecture is compared to a building, the floors inside include old residents such as arithmetic logic units, register units, control units, etc., as well as new residents, and baseband signal processing units."
Jobs nodded and signaled the other party to continue.
"Old residents are familiar with each other and have close cooperation, so they have their own set of effective communication and communication solutions and channels. But new residents may not have one - after the wafer fab process is improved, it is no longer a difficult point to integrate baseband chips into the processor core, and it is difficult to establish an efficient data exchange channel in the middle."
"It seems that Yuanxin has solved it well now, and even their architecture can integrate more functional units and design them in a modular way."
Jobs immediately thought of what Su Yuanshan said in the afternoon about the prospects of future soc chips.
Not just desktop computers, mobile handheld devices, cars, aircraft, ships, home appliances, all devices can be digitalized and automated.
Of course, Jobs was not interested in airplanes and cars, and his interest was still to face personal digital products. But this did not prevent him from agreeing with Su Yuanshan's judgment.
Since you agree with the judgment, there is no reason to miss the entry into this field from chips - even if you only sell chips, you can make money.
What's more, cooperation with Yuanxin will not have an impact on Apple's established development direction. What will only affect the target of cooperation and the future ecology of the product.
"Well, you guys continue to sort out." Jobs nodded, picked up the coffee, took a sip and began to close his eyes to rest.
At this time, the telephone number in the guest room next to him suddenly rang, and Ruins immediately looked at the door alertly.
Jobs also opened his eyes, and he glanced at the door in confusion, and then took the call.
Su Yuanshan's voice came with a smile: "Is Mr. Jobs here?"
"It's me."
"Okay, I don't know if you have time. If you have time, I'll send you a report."
Jobs nodded immediately: "Okay, you send it here."
"Okay, I'll let the secretary deliver it to your door in about three minutes."
After hanging up the phone, Jobs glanced at his watch again. Three minutes later, as a faint sound of high heels gradually approached, Jobs stood up and stood behind the door and waited in person.
The knock on the door rang as promised. After opening the door, Su Yuanshan's secretary Wen Xiaoqian stood with a smile on his face: "Mr. Jobs, this is the document given to you by General Manager Shan."
"Okay, thank you- do you want a cup of tea?"
"Thank you, no need."
Watching Wen Xiaoqian disappear into the empty corridor, Jobs smiled slightly, then quickly calmed down his smile, closed the door, and returned to the sofa.
There are two copies of the files, depending on the format, and it seems to be divided into Chinese and English versions, and the content should be the same.
Document title: "Guiding Opinions on Vertical Procurement System"
...
In Su Yuanshan's room, Qin Weimin was holding a teacup and chatting with Su Yuanshan. Seeing Wen Xiaoqian enter the door, Qin Weimin laughed and said, "Xiaoqian, they are not wary of you, are they?"
"I deliberately wore high heels." Wen Xiaoqian tilted her feet, revealing the high heels under her trousers, and said proudly: "It's still the kind of iron palm that has been nailed, and it's very loud when walking."
"...Senior brother, since he is willing to stay in our hotel, he means he trusts our goodwill." Su Yuanshan smiled helplessly and shook his head, "No matter whether they really trust them or not, at least they act like this in terms of face."
In fact, according to convention, this kind of cooperation negotiation that involves the interests of both parties must be kept safe in the place where both parties live, which is also to avoid unnecessary trouble.
However, Jobs chose to live in Yuanxin at the beginning, which means that no matter what the negotiations are, at least he believes in Yuanxin's commercial reputation.
This is also considered that he gave Su Yuanshan a great face.
And to be honest, Yuanxin Technology Park is so big, Su Yuanshan doesn't ask anyone to follow them anytime and anywhere. If Apple really wants to discuss any secrets in private and just drill into a small pavilion in an open area, it will be absolutely safe.
"Well, just kidding." Qin Weimin smiled and said, "I just feel a little emotional. Apple has been forced to negotiate overnight by us - do you think they will accept our proposal?"
"Anyway, I will accept it." Su Yuanshan always said something in front of his senior brother, and said confidently: "Mr. Qiao talked with me for a long time this afternoon. Although Mr. Qiao is still an excellent, even a genius product manager. But in the final analysis, he is still Apple's CEO."
"If Apple wants to continue to develop, in addition to opening up the situation in digital products, it must also consider factors such as its position in the industrial chain and cost control - and these happen to be what we can give them."
Su Yuanshan said, then looked at Wen Xiaoqian and smiled, "Xiaoqian, you have read the plan for the vertical procurement system. Tell me, can the advantages of our vertical procurement plan be attractive to Apple?"
Wen Xiaoqian was stunned and said with a long time before she shyly: "Mr. Shan, I think I've read it, but I really don't understand..."
“…uh…well.”
Su Yuanshan sighed secretly, unable to bear to hit the girl.
At this moment, he really missed Zhou Xiaohui, who is now in Silicon Valley.
It’s a pity that Zhou Xiaohui will sooner or later take up an important position and will never be his secretary for the rest of her life.
