Becoming the richest man starts with making complaints

Thanks to Cao Shen, security video surveillance manufacturers have found Liu Jun one after another.

As a result, even before Bianhe's new chips came out, he already had an intended order in hand.

And the original low-end and mid-range chips have also been summoned by security manufacturers and used in non-HD scenarios. This is cash.

Using the curve of the IP camera system to save the country has played a very important role.

Bien Hoa Semiconductor has the classic case of technology deep throat. It not only almost monopolizes the IP camera surveillance market, but also not only won the ticket in the traditional video surveillance market, but became a first-tier supplier.

When the new equilateral chips came out, they were sold in short supply, but that’s a story for another day.

All this naturally attracted the attention of investors. Bianhe Semiconductor quickly went from being empty during the original financing period to now having investors blocking the door.

As soon as the investment from TC Capital was received, investors already quoted a post-money valuation of US$75 million, which was three times higher than Cao Shen’s valuation of US$25 million at the time.

After a month of life extension, Cao Shen finally saved enough life points exchanged for the H.265 algorithm.

Therefore, not long after Cao Shen’s investment money arrived, Liu Jun received another shocking H.265 algorithm...

H.264 has just begun in this world, and Cao Shen just launched H.265.

Liu Jun had always admired Cao Shen's file compression technology. When he got H.265, he immediately put down everything he was doing and tested it.

I was shocked at that time!

The compression capability is twice that of H.265!

Even with the same level of pixels, H.265 makes the picture significantly clearer.

Not to mention high-definition, even 4K and 8K algorithms are not a problem.

What's this!

This is what instantly kills all current products. Liu Jun was so excited that he couldn't stop trembling.

If, if he uses this algorithm in a chip...

Bianhe Semiconductor is invincible!

Can push the entire video codec market horizontally!

When he dialed Cao Shen's landline again, the cell phone in his hand was making a rattling sound, and his whole body was breathing rapidly.

He had to sit down and firmly hold the corner of the table with his other hand to steady his body from shaking.

"Mr. Cao, can you authorize us to use this algorithm? You decide the price!"

The H.264 algorithm itself also has to pay fees to its patent alliance, ranging from 0.1 to 0.2 US dollars per chip per year. This more advanced algorithm will definitely cost more, but Liu Jun is determined to win.

Cao Shen originally asked the system to support H.265, but later thought about it and wanted the system to write a new algorithm that has the same performance as H.265, but bypasses all patents, and is compatible with current MPEG and H.264.

I paid an extra month of my life for this.

So the patent for this algorithm belongs to Cao Shen.

"The patent is given to you, you should do your best." Cao Shen has always been very generous to his own people, especially talented ones.

Moreover, algorithm standards need to be operated in order for more people to use them.

Liu Jun can now use Cao Shen's algorithm in security video surveillance, and the encoding and decoding are completed by his own chip.

But such an excellent standard will undoubtedly be used in other fields in the future.

For example, videos on the Internet and live broadcasts on mobile phones.

This requires that these video contents be encoded according to H.265, and the computer, TV or mobile phone watching the video can decode H.265 video files.

Of course, on a mobile phone or computer, you can use the CPU to add software for soft decoding, but it is not as efficient as directly using the H.265 chip for hard decoding.

But the premise is that you have to provide soft decoding software, just like a video player, which actually contains a collection of various decoding software.

Liu Jun has taken the algorithm and can choose the appropriate time point according to his own business rhythm to authorize the algorithm to others.

If a standard is not used by others, it is equivalent to holding on to one-third of one's own land.

Therefore, you have to operate your ecology.

Although it will bring competitors, competition can also make the market pie bigger.

Cao Shen obviously doesn't have time to pay attention to Liu Jun's products and market progress and operate a video codec standard.

If you give Liu Jun something, how big the market he can manipulate depends on his ability.

Liu Jun felt like he was sitting on a cloud after being waved by Cao Shen.

Is this going to be given to him for free?

Is this awesome technology just for nothing?

Does Mr. Cao know that this standard can be used ecologically?

Liu Jun started talking to Cao Shen about how this matter could be done, how big of a market it could capture, and what changes it would cause in the industrial structure.

Mr. Cao is a technical person and is too powerful, so he might not care about this kind of thing. But I must not bully others. I must make it clear to Mr. Cao how valuable this thing is and I must not take advantage of it.

Cao Shen nodded repeatedly as he heard this, feeling more and more that this algorithm was perfect for Liu Jun.

So, while Liu Jun continued to talk to Cao about Anli, Mr. Cao said:

"Very good, very good. Mr. Liu, you have thought very carefully. Take it and do it well."

Then, Cao Shen hung up the phone with peace of mind, leaving Liu Jun in a mess in the office.

Liu Jun just wanted to cry, how could there be someone like Mr. Cao in this world!

Never for yourself, only for benefiting others! Not to mention the awesome skills, this mind, this courage, it’s just...

Liu Jun is at a loss for words...

So, he made an important decision. He directly transferred 15% of his shares in Bianhe Semiconductor to Cao Shen.

Mr. Cao, you are my brother!

In this way, plus TC Capital's 20%, Cao Shen owns a total of 35% of Bianhe Semiconductor's shares. Becoming the second largest shareholder, second only to Liu Jun’s 40% stake.

A month and a half later, news came out that Bianhe Semiconductor had a more advanced video encoding and decoding algorithm.

Shining Star Investment invested US$10 million in Bianhe Semiconductor with a post-money valuation of US$100 million.

Including the 20% of the shares given away for free, Cao Shen's investment has a floating profit of about 6.3 times. The original 5 million US dollars has now become 31.5 million US dollars.

Mr. Cao’s first investment was a success!

This investment was still made with TC Capital's money. Xiao Gang's 200 million re-established a company called "Shenyao Investment", and none of the money here has been used.

The main reason is that Cao Shen spent all his life on H.265. If his life is not rich, he should stay calm and not commit suicide.

Seeing that it was May Day soon, Cao Shen had five months of life in his hands and was a little ready to make a move.

Should I risk my life and invest in a project, or should I save money and change my game editor?

Cao Shen was a little confused.

On the other hand, TT Technology's WeChat team, under the leadership of Fang De, has been in retreat for five months.

According to the instructions of Chairman Zhang Da, Fang De spent these five months to kill Cao Shen's open source instant messaging.

Now, it's time to hand in your results.

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, the new version of WeChat went through two rounds of internal testing intensively.

We are all very satisfied, and everyone is holding their breath and waiting for the release on May 4th.

However, on May Day, something happened that caught TT Technology off guard...
