Chen Yansen answered without hesitation.
If they wanted to compete with ARM, they had to be sincere about the price.
He had previously learned that Apple paid ARM seven to eight hundred million USD in patent service fees annually, an eighty-million-USD one-time licensing fee, and an additional 0.5% royalty.
"ARM's royalty is also 0.5%," Ge Yue said, looking troubled.
The implication was that a brand-new instruction set technology probably didn't have the standing to demand a 0.5% royalty rate.
"The one-time licensing fee for the Orange Z1 is low," Chen Yansen said calmly.
He paused, then added, "It's non-negotiable."
While increasing the Orange Z1's adoption rate was important, he wasn't about to sell it on the cheap.
Ge Yue's smile froze. She carefully observed Chen Yansen's expression and micro-expressions. Seeing his firm stance, she knew she couldn't haggle any further.
