My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!-Chapter 733 - 449 There is Another Product_3

Additionally, we’ve also secretly reached an agreement with Hujian Jinghua, they’ve started the urgent modification of the existing production lines according to our requirements, and they will be capable of small-scale mass production by next year at the latest!"

Hujian Jinghua, formally known as Hujian Jinghua Integrated Circuit Co., Ltd., mainly engages in wafer production, developing advanced memory technology, and fabrication processes.

However, they have been having a rough time recently.

In 2017, Mei Guang Technology from across the ocean sued Hujian Jinghua for alleged technology theft, and banned the sale of related equipment and materials, leading directly to a production line halt at Jinghua.

Although domestic markets announced a ban on Mei Guang’s products in protest, the effect was minimal.

Some outside predictions indicated that by March 2019, Hujian Jinghua would deplete its resources and be forced to cease operations.

It was evident that Hua Wei wasn’t an isolated case; across the ocean, the suppression and blockade against Country Hua’s integrated circuits were comprehensive...

Under such pressure from across the ocean, Mr. Yu naturally sought out this fellow sufferer.

Facing utter desperation, Jinghua had hardly any bargaining chips, and seeing the domestic industry leader extend a lifesaving olive branch, they were like a bullied child, tearfully begging to be taken under wing!

Want personnel to move in for full control and management? No problem!

Need complete secrecy and enhanced confidentiality measures? It’s only right!

Use 10% of Si Hai’s shares in exchange for control over Jinghua? This... If big brother wants it, just take it!

Well... of course, there were all sorts of ’friendship’ deals and unequal treaties, but the process went something like this...

After Mr. Yu reported on the work progress of this period, a trace of worry appeared on his face.

"If the other side wants to attack our consumer terminal business, there are many ways to do it, the most lethal of which is, of course, chips.

Another thing that can’t be ignored is that although we’re developing our own Harmony system, we can’t cover everything on mobile systems and software.

If they are mad enough to ban our related software, our international business would likely suffer a huge impact..."

In the mobile system domain, Android and Apple basically dominate.

Apple, needless to say, is in a league of its own.

Although Android is open-source, and as developers, Google can’t prevent Hua Wei from using it, the various service software that comes with Android is not open-source, like Google’s suite...

Google Play Store, Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube, etc...

Domestic users might not care, but abroad, these apps are virtually as important as Feixin and Alipay are domestically.

If you ask someone to buy a phone that can’t install Feixin and Alipay, it’s basically asking them to play a single-player game...

"Hmm! Do your best; we are not omnipotent after all..."

Mr. Ren sighed.

Then, as if thinking of something,

"By the way, I’ve heard that recently Baiyeji released a smart vehicle assistant called ’Bajie’, which seems to be quite the topic among young people?"

Mr. Yu immediately nodded, with a sense of sentiment.

"That’s right, I’ve been paying attention to them lately, thinking about whether we might help; turns out, they didn’t need it at all.

With just an intelligent voice assistant, they revitalized an entire new energy auto company; the maneuver was nothing short of miraculous.

I even went out of my way to purchase an Ai Dou New Energy vehicle to try it out...

Frankly, I could hardly believe that this was something a domestic enterprise could achieve.

First there was Star Array, then ’Bajie’; all I can say is, their AI technical team’s strength is truly unfathomable!"

Hearing such high praise from Mr. Yu, Mr. Ren thoughtfully said,

"Is that so? Worthy of a company that even managed to develop EDA. It seems our earlier assessment was correct, they are not only formidable in chip research and development but also possess exceptional technical expertise in AI and software domains..."

Enlightened by the conversation, Mr. Yu’s eyes lit up.

"Indeed! The deeper I look into it, the more I discover that although Baiyeji may not be well-known, each of their products is a masterpiece! Software is our weakness; if we could port ’Bajie’ onto our phones..."

As if a new world of possibilities had opened before him, "Mr. Ren, I will go to talk to Cretaceous about terminating our cooperation tomorrow!"

Mr. Ren looked at the eager Mr. Yu somewhat speechlessly, and after thinking a bit, shook his head.

"I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. A product like this isn’t short of buyers.

If they’ve allowed it to be exclusively available in their car models, they definitely have their business considerations. It’s unlikely they will open it up to outsiders any time soon, as they will digest it internally for maximum benefit. You can try negotiating, but you’d have to look elsewhere for a collaboration project...

Well... apart from these products, do they have any other products or projects?"

"Oh! I remember from previous research material, there was another product...

Yes! It appeared to be an ERP system..."

Mr. Yu immediately grew troubled upon saying this.

The current ERP system Hua Wei Group uses is from Oracle, and the issue is that typically a business can only use one system. To truly cooperate in this area...

Would they have to switch out the ERP systems for all 88 global subsidiaries?
