My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!-Chapter 1038 - 609: Why Don’t You Threaten Me First?

Chapter 1038: Chapter 609: Why Don’t You Threaten Me First?

Mr. Yu naturally didn’t know what kind of shocking plan was behind the phrase "welcome more competitors."

But the confidence displayed by Gao Yuan didn’t seem like a forced smile.

It seemed like he really had this confidence...

Could it be that the other party already had more advanced Light Chip Technology in their hands?

He thought of a possibility in his heart but immediately shook his head.

Impossible, impossible, "Alpha" is already considered an unexpected leap forward in the technical field, where strength and luck are essential in the process.

"Alpha" just came out a few days ago, and now you’re telling me they have something better...

Come on! Scientific research also needs to follow the laws of nature, even Baiyeji can’t be both omnipotent and highly productive, can it?

Einstein was productive, right? But there was a ten-year gap between special relativity and general relativity!

Almost everyone would think this way. A leap forward in the same field is already a stroke of luck; how could there be a series of breakthroughs?

Moreover, who would have thought that the developer not only made a breakthrough but intentionally planted landmines...

"Then what should we set the patent fee at?" Mr. Yu asked another key question.

"The patent fee can’t be too low, or it won’t serve as a competitive moat.

Of course, it can’t be too high either, or competitors might apply for legal arbitration on the grounds of limiting technological development and monopoly."

"Hmm... Our single card’s external selling price is around 20,000 RMB. Even if competitors develop similar products, the price will definitely be in this range.

No matter how much the manufacturer sells, we will charge a patent fee of 3% based on the competitor’s single card selling price."

Mr. Yu thought for a moment and nodded. 3% seemed to be a reasonable price. Imagine, once the whole world starts to get authorization, the annual patent fees they receive could make them rich.

However, he sighed with some regret.

"It’s a pity that if this hadn’t happened, in just two years, we could have captured the majority of domestic and international orders, dominating the market..."

"Heh! A tall tree catches the wind, and hoarding all the benefits always attracts attention.

Actually, if you think about it from another angle, it’s not without benefits. At least the accelerated diffusion of technology will allow ’Alpha’ to more quickly replace the traditional electronic chip capacity.

It’s like the opponents helping us enlarge the cake; as long as the patent rights are in our hands, the short-term profits won’t be much less than if we produced it ourselves."

"Hmm! That makes sense!"

"Furthermore... 3% is just our bottom line. We can start with an asking price of 10% or even higher.

And the licensing price and authorization target are our bargaining chips.

We can use these to trade chips with some opponents, or perhaps... some hostages..." Gao Yuan smiled with a hint of meaning.

Hearing this, Mr. Yu was shocked, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly.

"Really?"

"Of course, when we cooperate, we negotiate these things in advance, with us sharing the profits and having the right of first refusal. Other related business negotiation matters will naturally be handled by your side."

"Well... There’s no need for me to say excessive thanks, Chairman Gao, you are always our friend!"

"Of course, happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

...

Across the ocean.

"Has the data analysis come out yet?" Director Naji asked expectantly.

After the success of the "Eternal Night Project," the stolen data was immediately transmitted back to the country via a Spy Satellite, analyzed overnight by experts.

"Director, our experts have confirmed the authenticity of the data.

Although it’s not a complete set of technical data, it includes critical production process parameters and manufacturing models. With our technical capabilities, we can fully reverse-engineer and deduce the complete technology."

"Good! Hahaha..."

Director Naji swept away the recent gloom and laughed heartily, pounding the table.

This was undoubtedly the best news he had heard in a while, and the most significant political achievement since he took office!

The newly appointed official started with three fires: the first fire was a hacker war, which ended up igniting both his team and NASA.

The second fire was aimed at Hua Wei, but even after capturing hostages, they didn’t yield, and Light Chip Technology emerged!

This third fire was finally lit.

With the strategic value of this technology, not only was his position secure, but he could also make a significant appearance in the Black Palace!

Naji was excited. "Have experts produce the complete technology as soon as possible. I want this product to go into production and mass production quickly!

Lately, that ’Bajie 2.0’ has been causing the TGO AI Alliance of Google to retreat step by step.

We are already behind in software; we must not let them lead too much in hardware either!

This is about whether we can regain the initiative in the AI technology field. We must do it as quickly as possible!"

The urgency for Director Naji to take action was also driven by this aspect.

The training and promotion of AI models require massive computing power, and although the processing speed of the Light Chip is comparable to the world’s advanced traditional chips.

The energy consumption is way ahead of traditional chips.

If the other party starts large-scale application of "Alpha," the cost of model training and usage will inevitably drop rapidly, significantly lowering development costs.

We are already lagging behind in AI technology, and if the cost is much higher than theirs, then this competitive game cannot be continued, and we might as well surrender.

But as long as our side can also apply "Alpha" on a large scale, then there is still hope to catch up...

"Yes! But Director, although we have this technology now, how to implement it is also a problem.

Country Hua and Hua Wei have been strongly protesting and offering huge bounties for attackers, and the whole world knows about this matter.

If we reveal it now, wouldn’t it be a self-confession... and harm our reputation?"

Naji sneered, as if he had a plan beforehand.

"The more furious they are, the more it proves the importance of this technology to them!

Sun Tzu’s Art of War says what the enemy doesn’t want us to do, we must do it!

If they are anxious, it means we are doing the right thing!

As for strong protests... it’s just verbal battles, isn’t it?

They condemned Jinghua’s attackers, and we can also condemn their previous hacker intrusions!

Make the losses seem bigger... Didn’t they previously suspect that Country Hua’s breakthrough in jet engines was due to the last incident?

Then publicize it widely. Isn’t everyone a victim too?

Your breakthrough in aero engine technology was achieved on your own, so why can’t our breakthrough in light chips be achieved independently?

It’s all about referencing, so let’s not criticize one another!

As for reputation? What is reputation worth? This world is a jungle where the strong eat the weak!"

Naji gritted his teeth at the thought of previous setbacks, but this time, he finally got to hold his head high, so he had to regain his stance.

He intended to tell the whole world that Director Naji’s revenge isn’t late, even by a decade!

"Moreover, do you think other countries would sincerely congratulate Country Hua on their technological breakthrough and selfishness?

You should know that the biggest impact of their technological breakthrough is not felt by us domestically.

Tulip, South Peninsula, Fusang, Yizhou... these regions with traditionally dense chip industries are the ones most anxious.

We are the lead wolf, and they are the pack wolves!

As long as we stir things up a bit, believe it or not, we won’t even need to intervene; they will stand up and charge at the opponents for us!

When the time comes, we’ll announce our technological breakthrough and offer to share the technology with one of them, splitting the benefits 70-30.

You tell me... would they care where the technology came from?"

The deputy nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"The director has such foresight, I can hardly compare!"

Naji smiled smugly, but he wasn’t blinded by his temporary victory, and he cautiously instructed.

"From now on, have our people closely monitor the movements of Country Hua and Hua Wei, and report to me immediately once there’s news!"

"Yes!"

"Hmm! Also, get me my favorite suit and a car; I need to go to the Black Palace to report, haha..."

...

However, just two days later, Director Naji, full of confidence, received new information.

Information that nearly made him gasp in anger...

Hua Wei... actually made their patents public!

"Say that again?!" Naji’s face darkened severely, nearly dripping with rage.

The deputy cautiously glanced at the director’s face before nervously speaking again.

"According to the latest news, Hua Wei has been filing a large number of public patents for ’Alpha’ worldwide, and even our patent office received the application.

These patents cover a very wide range, from design and structure to production processes... detailed down to every screw.

In fact... it’s even more comprehensive than the materials we obtained..."

"Creak~" As Director Naji listened, his hand clenched into a fist on the table, making a creaking sound.

What is this?

I just managed to steal the technology, and you turn around and make it public?

And the public information is more comprehensive than what I stole!

So, what was all my hard work over the past months for?

To contribute to global technology dissemination?

"Bang!" "How dare they do this!" Director Naji roared.

It’s not that he doesn’t get it.

Sure, even if the technical details leaked, it should have been a matter between us two.

No matter how the future market competition or patent disputes go, the benefits would have stayed within our two circles, but making everything public eliminated both of our technical advantages.

No! It meant I lost more after putting in vast human and material resources!

After all, they can still receive hefty patent fees.

While I did all the work for nothing!

The snipe and clam in conflict let the fisherman benefit!

The entire world must be celebrating right now, right?

No effort required, and the coveted technology fell right into their laps?

Did all my struggles only pave the way for someone else’s success?

I expected a reaction from the other side and even thought they would go head to head, but I never expected them to open-source all the technology, choosing destruction over preservation!

Willing to take a hit just to make things difficult for me?

Seeing the director almost mad with anger, the deputy quickly offered comfort.

"Director, looking on the bright side, at least we forced the other side to open source, breaking their technological monopoly and achieving our most strategic goal of eliminating the technological gap between us.

Everything else is just a matter of interest.

In the long run, they’re impulsively wasting their lead in the critical AI field for momentary satisfaction.

In this regard, the decision-maker must be a short-sighted fool!"

"Yes! Short-sighted! Completely short-sighted!" Naji cursed, teeth clenched.

His heart was filled with despair!

That’s hundreds of billions in profit!

Gone, just like that?

Hurting the enemy a thousand times, losing eight hundred in return, whose thoughtless command was this?!

It was just a bit of technology theft, wasn’t it?

Did I release our engine technology to the world?

It’s like a thief stealing some rice from your house, and in a fit of anger, you open your granary for the world!

Does it have to be this extreme?

The key is...

Before you open sourced it, did it occur to you to privately discuss it with me first?

If you had used this as leverage, I might have agreed to split the interests 70-30, with you getting 70!

Don’t you know what negotiation means?

Why didn’t you try negotiating? Maybe it would have worked!
