The second round of business cooperation between Frontier Science and Samsung Electronics was not disclosed to the public through the media like the first time.

Samsung Electronics is obviously well prepared.

After the cooperation memorandum was signed, Samsung Electronics immediately settled the entire payment for the third recent contract, which amounted to approximately RMB 600 million.

Completed the first phase of the contract.

Then after friendly negotiations, Samsung Electronics agreed to the new additional settlement contract proposed by Frontier Science.

Settlement according to authorized batches: 70% of each batch is paid in advance, and the balance and advance payment are settled before obtaining the authorization of the next batch.

For example: If Samsung Electronics wants to license 1 million models with a retail price of 5,000 yuan, it must first pay 70% of 150 million, or 105 million;

For the next batch of authorizations for 1 million models with a retail price of 1,000 yuan, the previous batch of 45 million will be settled first, and then 70% of the 30 million will be paid in advance.

Very different from the previous terms.

This is cutting-edge science that has taken back the initiative in settlement and at the same time further shortened the contract amount delivery cycle.

It can contribute cash flow to the frontier to a large extent.

What's particularly important is that it's a seller's market now.

Samsung Electronics is more active as a seller than Frontier is as a seller.

In any case, Samsung Electronics representative Zheng Jinrong is very satisfied with these terms. The settlement cycle is not important to Samsung Electronics now.

Moreover, after the additional settlement contract was signed, Samsung Electronics immediately requested 5 million new licenses.

Another sum of 420 million was settled immediately.

It means that they are going to launch a new mobile phone in the Chinese market with a price range of around 4,000.

If all goes well with the bank transfer, Frontier will receive a total of 5.5 billion in licensing fees settled by Samsung Electronics this afternoon.

In comparison, other companies are not worth mentioning in terms of magnitude or licensing fees.

After all, this is almost equivalent to Samsung Electronics settling 25 million in licensing fees in one go...

Before noon, after signing a series of contracts, Frontier Science hosted a business banquet for the Samsung Electronics delegation represented by Shi Xinrong.

Neither Lu Weiyu nor Mr. Lu nor Mr. Lu’s secretary Fang attended.

The two of them were taking a car to Yangpu Wujiaochang.

On the way, Lu Weiyu smiled and sighed: "I know how Gates became the richest man in the world, and the operating system is too profitable."

"We have to add a prerequisite: an operating system with a large market share." Fang Nian also laughed.

Lu Weiyu was convinced and said: "I looked through the data this morning and found that the number of global users of MindOS is approaching 200 million, and the domestic market share has reached 80%."

"The actual number of activated users has exceeded 70 million, and Redmi was once again out of stock during the National Day holiday."

After a pause, he added: "According to market data evaluation, the market share of ndOS devices may decrease after iPhone 4S is launched in mainland China, but..."

“This year’s national smartphone shipments far exceeded estimates and have reached close to 100 million units, of which the popularity of Android OS is the biggest driver;

According to survey data, national smartphone shipments will hit a new high next year, and smartphones will be greatly popularized."

After listening to Lu Weiyu's words, Fang Nian said lazily: "First of all, there are more than 1 billion mobile phone users in China;

Secondly, smartphones are a major trend, conclusion..."

As he spoke, Fang Nian glanced at Lu Weiyu: "The next five years will see huge growth. This year it will be 100 million, and it may double next year. It will not slow down until more than 95% of the market is smartphones."

"Another conclusion is that a single unit of Shan Nuwa's laboratory can create a bunch of the world's richest people. Therefore, it is imperative that all employees of the company hold shares."

Lu Weiyu nodded: "Yes."

Then he changed the subject: "I didn't expect Samsung Electronics to agree to some terms that seemed very harsh."

"That's because the overseas market has changed." Fang Nian smiled.

As he spoke, he suddenly slapped his thigh: "I missed the big show! I have to surf the Internet quickly!"

Seeing this, Lu Wei smiled and said nothing.

Of course she knew what Fang Nian was going to do.

Yesterday afternoon, Nuwa Lab updated the 'Xiaowa' voice assistant. By default, the server side only supports Chinese language and has a second option: English.

The wake-up word is: "hi,nuwa."

On the afternoon of the 7th Eastern Time, a relevant video appeared on YouTube and other websites, attracting public attention.

Speaking of which, a lot of effort was spent on improving the voice assistant, and Nuwa Laboratory coordinated 9 university laboratories.

For this purpose, some biologists, linguists, etc. were also recruited.

"..."

Classmate Fang Nian has always been a person who does what he says.

Logged into Twitter soon.

As expected, the news about Xiaowa's voice assistant supporting English was very popular. It happened to be night in the United States and everyone was very busy.

After flipping through it for a while, I quickly tweeted while holding the key.

"I briefly tried nuwa. Although I don't like cutting-edge at all, but objectively speaking, compared to the private day at Apple's press conference, nuwa is more complete. I don't know if I should buy iPhone 4S."

"Let me tell you, what the hell kind of company is Frontier? We didn't expect our AMD and other manufacturers to cooperate with it before, so why are we targeting Apple now? Who gave it the courage?!"

"To be fair, why can't companies in our country work harder now that they seem to have lost their creativity?"

"..."

As soon as a few "pure passer-by" tweets were posted, they immediately attracted a wave of onlookers.

"That is to say, why is nuwa better than a private day? Apple is rubbish! I have already canceled my reservation for 4S!"

"I don't want to buy any more apples anyway!"

"I heard Samsung is good."

"Actually, I like Chinese Xiaomi very much. I envy China for being able to buy Xiaomi directly. It's very affordable."

"..."

"I agree, the companies in our country are too rubbish, so a cutting-edge company can handle it."

"..."

Then, with all the reluctance on the surface, Holding Key simply replied to a few tweets.

"Objectively speaking, I think it's okay to have such a company, which can force Apple to make better things."

"It doesn't hurt anyway."

"..."

"The most noble freedom must have the loneliest soul. Let's fight Apple, Microsoft, and AMD!"

"We need a real 'battle' to tell the world who has the best strength!"

"..."

The speeches made by overseas key players always seem to be illogical.

Because holding the key is to encourage, attract fans, and be a drama queen.

In short, in addition to jumping left and right, Fang Nian also vividly interpreted the role of a pure passerby.

Finally, Fang Nian saw that Tangte actually gave it a like.

Fang Nian immediately laughed and muttered: "This old baby finally got excited. It's not bad. It seems he also wants to fool people."

It's a pity...

This old baby doesn’t like to tweet now, so he just clicks a like and disappears.

"..."

Speaking of which, Fang Nian doesn’t really want to read some hot topics on domestic social platforms right now.

It's just a deliberate attempt to gain popularity.

Moreover, Fang Nian really wanted to launch a big provocation quickly and force some core American technology companies to take action.

"..."

…………

In the afternoon, everyone except Bai Zhe came to the front office.

Everyone is busy with their own things.

After all, today is the first working day after the holiday. After all, a long holiday like National Day is the same as the Spring Festival holiday.

Fang Nian is no exception. While everyone is sorting out their affairs, he plans to initiate an internal conference call for the Nuwa Alliance.

Of course, before that, Fang Nian contacted Lei Jun alone.

As soon as the call was connected, Fang Nian smiled and said: "Mr. Lei, I heard that you still owe our company several hundred million that you haven't settled yet. When will you pay me? Now I'm reduced to sitting in a Maybach."
To be continued...
