Chapter 48 You Are My Brother!

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

So, before Bianhe's new chip came out, there were already intentional orders in hand.

And the original low-end and mid-end chips were also called over by security manufacturers for use in non-HD scenes, which is cash.

The IP camera system was used to save the country in a roundabout way, which played a very effective role.

Bianhe Semiconductor has the classic case of technology deep throat in the past. It not only almost monopolizes the IP camera surveillance market, but also not only gets a ticket in the traditional video surveillance market, but also becomes a first-tier supplier.

When Bianhe's new chip came out, it was sold in short supply, but that's another story.

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

When the investment funds from TC Capital were transferred, an investor had already offered a post-investment valuation of US$75 million, which was three times the valuation of US$25 million by Cao Shen at the time.

After struggling to survive for a month, Cao Shen finally saved enough life points to exchange for the H.265 algorithm.

So, not long after Cao Shen's investment money arrived, Liu Jun received the shocking H.265 algorithm...

This world has just started H.264, and Cao Shen directly threw out H.265.

Liu Jun originally worshipped 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 the time!

The compression capacity is twice that of H.265!

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

Let alone HD, even 4K and 8K are no problem with this algorithm.

What is this!

This is the existence of killing all current products in seconds, and Liu Jun was so excited that he couldn't stop shaking.

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

Bianhe Semiconductor, invincible!

It can sweep the entire video codec market!

When he called Cao Shen's landline again, the phone in his hand was clacking and his breathing was rapid.

He had to sit down and hold the corner of the table with his other hand to steady himself.

"Mr. Cao, can you license this algorithm to us? You name 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. And this more advanced algorithm is definitely more expensive, but Liu Jun is determined to get it.

Cao Shen originally asked the system to give H.265, but later thought about it and asked the system to write a new algorithm with the same performance as H.265, but bypassing all patents, but compatible with the current MPEG and H.264.

He also paid an extra month of life for this.

So the patent of this algorithm belongs to Cao Shen.

"The patent is given to you, you work hard." Cao Shen has always been very generous to his own people, especially talented ones.

Moreover, algorithm standards need to be operated to allow more people to use them.

Liu Jun can now use Cao Shen's algorithm for security video surveillance, and both encoding and decoding are done by his own chips.

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

For example, online videos and live broadcasts on mobile phones.

This requires that these video contents are encoded according to H.265, and the computer, TV or mobile phone that watches the video can decode the H.265 video file.

Of course, mobile phones or computers can use the CPU plus software mode for soft decoding, but it is not as efficient as using the H.265 chip directly for hard decoding.

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

Liu Jun got the algorithm and can choose the right time point according to his own business rhythm to authorize the algorithm to others for use.

If others do not use a standard, it is equivalent to only being able to defend their own one-third of an acre.

So, you have to operate your ecosystem.

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

Cao Shen obviously didn't have time to keep an eye on Liu Jun's products and market progress, and to operate a video codec standard.

If Liu Jun is given something, how big a market he can operate depends on his ability.

Liu Jun was like sitting on a cloud when Cao Shen waved his hand.

This is given to him for free?

This awesome technology is given away for free?

Does Mr. Cao know that this standard can be used to play with the ecosystem?

Liu Jun began to talk to Cao Shen about how to do this and that, how big a market it can take up, and what changes in the industrial structure it will cause.

Mr. Cao is a technology control, and his strength is too awesome, so he may not care about such things. But he must never bully others, and must make it clear to Mr. Cao how valuable this thing is, and he must not take advantage of it.

Cao Shen nodded repeatedly, and felt more and more that this algorithm was perfect for Liu Jun.

So, when Liu Jun continued to recommend it to Cao Shen, Cao said:

"Very good, very good, Mr. Liu, you have thought it through very comprehensively, just 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 wanted to cry, how could there be a person like Mr. Cao in this world!

He never did it for himself, but only for the benefit of others! Not to mention his amazing technology, his broad mind and courage are simply...

Liu Jun was 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, together with TC Capital's 20%, Cao Shen owned a total of 35% of Bianhe Semiconductor's shares. He became the second largest shareholder, second only to Liu Jun's 40% shares.

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

Xingyao Investment invested 10 million US dollars in Bianhe Semiconductor with a post-investment valuation of 100 million US dollars.

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

Mr. Cao's first investment was a success!

This investment was still made with TC Capital's money. Xiao Gang's 200 million yuan was used to re-establish a "Shen Yao Investment", and the money here has not been touched.

The main reason is that Cao Shen has spent his life to exchange for H.265. If he is not rich, he should keep calm and not do stupid things.

Seeing that May Day is coming soon, Cao Shen has five months of life in his hands, and he is a little eager to make a move.

Should he try to invest in a project, or save up to change the game editor?

Cao Shen is a little entangled.

On the other hand, the WeChat team of TT Technology, led by Fang De, has been closed for five months of research and development.

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

Now, it's time to submit the results.

In order to ensure that there is no mistake, the new version of WeChat has been intensively tested for two rounds of internal testing.

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

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