Chapter 1253 [Negotiation? No room for negotiation! I’m too lazy to pretend!]

Chapter 1253 [Negotiation? No room for negotiation! I’m too lazy to pretend!]

After the developer conference ended, it was Saturday, April 4. Chen Yu held another small meeting this morning, with participants from some of the more important software and hardware manufacturers in the industry.

In the conference room, a software manufacturer boss who was attending the meeting said, "Mr. Chen, the new MHAC ecosystem standard is really difficult to deal with. For example, our company's engineers are used to using CUDA. To fully embrace MHAC, we need to rewrite all algorithms, models, and application codes. The cost is too high, and our engineers almost have to start all over again."

Another participant nodded and said, "Yes, and your company's production capacity cannot keep up without using chips from foreign companies."

There were some foreign faces sitting in this conference room at the moment, including people sent by NVIDIA. They also appeared in this meeting, and were actively invited by Chen Yu to attend the meeting.

When hearing these words, several foreigners felt quite proud.

Previously, America was clamoring to "blacklist" Matrix Quantum again, but it has not done so yet. It is just talk and has not been implemented yet. That is why people from NVIDIA appeared at this meeting, and North American hardware manufacturers can continue to sell their products to the Greater China market.

At this time, Chen Yu said with an unquestionable attitude: "I won't say anything polite here. I talked to Mr. Fang about this matter a long time ago, and it is very clear that there will be no room for compromise in the establishment of the MHAC ecosystem. If you want to get a share of the 7 trillion, you have to follow our standards. If you can't get used to it, you can get used to it slowly. The cost of jumping out of your comfort zone now is not too high."

Everyone present at the meeting was speechless. They didn't expect Chen Yu to be so strong, but he did have the confidence. If you don't accept it, you can just go out and turn left.

This is people's attitude, but turning left when you go out basically means you are out.

At this moment, everyone was sitting quietly in their respective seats, and no one wanted to go out and turn left.

After a while, Chen Yu turned around and looked at the participants represented by foreign companies such as NVIDIA: "Mr. Fang said, and I agree. This market is large enough to accommodate foreign companies to come in and share a piece of the pie, but there is a prerequisite. You have to be compatible with us according to the standards we set, not us being compatible with you."

When this was said, many domestic manufacturer CEOs present were stunned. They had been worried about embracing the MHAC ecosystem before, including the fact that the large models currently being trained would have to be strongly bound to it, which meant that they could only use Matrix Quantum's AI computing chips, and the production capacity would definitely be insufficient, and Matrix Quantum itself would have to take up 70% of it.

But if international hardware manufacturers such as NVIDIA are compatible, it is also possible to use hardware provided by manufacturers such as NVIDIA and AMD.

At this time, a foreigner who was present at the meeting looked at Chen Yu in shock after listening to the translation and asked, "What?"

Just as he was about to speak further, Chen Yu immediately raised his hand towards him forcefully and spread out his five fingers, pressing back. The other party was about to speak but was forcibly held back by his gesture. Chen Yu looked straight at him and immediately said, "Friend, times have changed. I hope you can see the current situation clearly..."

Chen Yu can speak fluent English but he is speaking Chinese now, and several foreigners present hurriedly put on translators.

At this moment, Chen Yu said slowly with a calm expression: "What our President Fang said on social media the other day was already straightforward enough. You don't think you can still hold us back, do you? To put it bluntly but very honestly, I am rewarding you with a meal now. If you don't want to eat it, just leave. We can still do it without the participation of your foreign companies. If Matrix Quantum's production capacity was not relatively struggling compared to market demand, you might not be able to eat this meal."

"If you don't get involved, it will only delay us by one or two years at most. We don't have to complete the goal by 2, and delaying it to 25 is completely acceptable. I have said so much just to tell you one fact: the market is here, the demand is here, our technology is not bad, and we will soon catch up with you or even surpass you. At this table, the chips in your hands have no bargaining power, so if you want to eat this meal, you have to follow the new standards I set. Negotiate? No room for negotiation!"

After listening to the translation, the faces of the foreigners present all turned pale, and they were full of anger, but they dared not say anything.

Because what Chen Yu said are basic facts, and facts speak louder than words.

At the same time, the domestic manufacturers’ CEOs present at the meeting remained silent and looked at each other. Chen Yu’s words were still echoing in their minds for a long time. Their expressions were calm, but deep down they were already shouting “Wow!”

Are you saying it so directly and so bluntly? Are you too lazy to even pretend?

Putting aside the issues of interests, from a personal emotional perspective, the CEOs of the mainland manufacturers present at the scene were also extremely refreshed and happy.

Especially when I saw those foreigners with gloomy faces and hesitant expressions, I felt an indescribable sense of relief.

In the past, when facing these foreigners, I had to endure their arrogance, spend money and be treated like a grandson, and worry that they would ignore me. I can’t tell you how frustrating it was, but I had to endure it no matter how frustrating it was.

In a sense, Chen Yu has helped them regain some of the dignity they once lost. Seeing them being humiliated is indescribably satisfying, and it is more refreshing than making hundreds of millions.

At this moment, Chen Yu suddenly turned to look at the CEOs of the mainland manufacturers present and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about the problem of Matrix Quantum's insufficient production capacity. Production can be expanded 24 hours a day. On the one hand, Matrix Quantum will not occupy all the existing production capacity. It will distribute % of the computing power resources to all the friendly companies present at the meeting in a : ratio."

Chen Yu said with a smile: "I am willing to take the initiative to give up some market share to foreign companies. If they are not willing to take it, then Matrix Quantum can only share it with the friendly companies present here in tears. I think the friendly companies will also be happy to take more."

As he spoke, Chen Yu spread his hands and shrugged. Except for a few foreigners, everyone present at the meeting laughed softly.

Who wouldn’t like to have a bigger share?

Faced with Chen Yu's domineering attitude and not giving him the slightest bit of face, the foreigners present did not show any intention of clapping their hands and leaving in anger because of the humiliation. They still sat in their seats without moving.

It’s not that they don’t want to leave, but they can’t.

As insiders, we know very well that losing such a large market share will bring about a series of negative effects. Losing such a large market share means losing a large amount of revenue, declining corporate profits, and reduced R&D expenses. Technological progress will inevitably be hindered, and will eventually enter a vicious cycle of negative feedback over time.

As local companies in the Greater China market have higher revenues, surging profits, and increased R&D spending, technological progress will inevitably accelerate. This is a positive feedback mechanism.

Again, chip sales in the Greater China market account for 66% of global sales, and are the largest funder of North American semiconductor manufacturers. They cannot afford to lose this market, it's that simple.
