Chapter 246 Ready to go (4K)
Just as the house leaked and it rained all night, after Korean Star issued the announcement, foreign media Reuters also exposed that Korean Star and Hynix will no longer be able to provide Xia Xia after the contract order is completed. Provide mobile phone storage chips for mobile phones outside the contract.
Someone then took out Xia Wei’s supplier list and pointed out that Xia Wei’s mid-to-high-end smartphones have been using screens from three manufacturers: LGD, Hanxing and Beijing North, and two of them will cut off supply. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Xia Wei's mobile phone business.
Amidst this series of bad news, Xiawei's domestic mobile phone market, after a brief downturn, broke out into a frenzy of consumer purchases.
Many executives such as Yu Chengdong and Xu Qujun also had to face the strange and twisty market, and frequently refuted rumors and popularized their own supply chain problems in the media.
"Korean Star Display is only supplying high-end folding screens to Xia Wei and has temporarily stopped supplying them. However, the supply of screens such as the Mate digital series and P series is currently not affected.
And before Hanstar Display stops supplying, We at Xiawei already have sufficient inventory of folding screen panels, and LGD has The supply quantity has always been limited, and we can easily get enough screen supply through Beijing North, so consumers don’t have to worry about the supply of MateX at the moment.”
Yu Chengdong is calm. Confidently, but after seeing this interview, Gu Qing sighed.
Xia Wei used to not rely on the mobile phone business to make money, but now and then, after annual shipments of hundreds of millions, the proportion of the mobile phone business has long surpassed other projects.
The former kings of mobile phones, Motorola and Nokia, all made decisions on their own, took the wrong path, and then directly lost the market to others.
But Xia Wei was the only one who was put on the list and was forced by certain forces to leave the smartphone industry.
What bullshit freedom and equality.
When it is needed, it is freedom and equality; when it is not needed, it is direct gangster logic.
In today's era of globalization, no smartphone company can have a completely independent supply chain for high-end products, not even within a country.
Korean Star has its own screen and chip foundry technology, but does it dare to have its own operating system? Does that barren little piece of land hold special metal mineral resources?
As for Pingguo Company, in March this year, Pingguo updated the list of the top 200 suppliers. Among them, there are 46 companies belonging to Daxia, and then America and Neon have 38 companies. Ranked second in terms of quantity.
So no company can survive alone.
This is true even if Jiuzhou Technology currently wants to make mobile phones.
Business is not like the military.
The military doesn't care what you do about the patent law. If you have a goal and a direction, just rush forward.
Business has too many restrictions, and everyone has to compete on a chessboard according to the rules.
Originally, this is considered fair, after all, there are rules.
But I can’t stand that one of the players playing chess now is a bad chess player, always making some foul moves.
However, as time goes by, market sentiment begins to ease due to the efforts of many parties.
Korean stars don’t want to be too extreme, as this will affect the current short-term cooperation interests between other Daxia manufacturers and themselves.
The noses of other domestic manufacturers are not bad either. No matter what the executives have in mind, some things have been really exposed.
The Daxia Software Development Alliance finally held its second important meeting.
Attending the meeting were manufacturers such as Rice and Opo that rely heavily on the global supply chain, as well as Xia Wei, who is currently having a hard time, and of course Jiuzhou Technology Company, the technology provider of the Software Development Alliance.
Not doing useless things is Gu Qing's consistent code of conduct.
So at the second meeting of senior executives, Vice President Dong was present at Jiuzhou Technology.
An executive who does not understand technology can naturally avoid technical language restrictions and strive for sufficient benefits for himself.
At the meeting, Vice President Dong could be described as "talking with the crowd". Taking the "confidential documents" provided by Boss Gu, he analyzed the mobile phone systems of Dami and other companies, and finally got to the critical point.
“We must not only provide technical support to the alliance, but also take care of the various limitations of everyone’s mobile phone systems, so the number of votes we need from Jiuzhou Technology must be the first share.”
Originally Some people were unconvinced and wanted to slam the table.
But after much deliberation, the proposal was finally approved by all the big guys.
After learning the news, Boss Gu was very pleased and said: "I work for the landlord during busy farming hours, and the landlord has to take care of two meals. We won't do it for free.
We are strong, eat more, and let those poor people be jealous.”
Contempt the enemy strategically, and value the enemy tactically.
Human Resources Director Zhang Yuanfeng will receive an updated list from the President’s Office every three days and arrange corresponding matters.
The research team of the semiconductor department that Li Yougang was responsible for gradually expanded from three digits to four digits, and there were many big names among them. This also led to Li Yougang's somewhat arrogant demeanor, and he became humble in an instant.
The software engineering department is currently controlled by Gu Qing, so although there are more and more people, no technical boss dares to offend him.
It’s not even right to offend him. Boss Gu also met one of his “fans”, some of whom are mentally retarded.
It is said that there are many straight men engaged in technology. In fact, it is because they are preoccupied with technical fields and do not invest much energy in other aspects, so their emotional intelligence appears to be uneven.
For example, now.
"Teacher, artificial big data also requires feedback from the parties involved before it can be adjusted. However, if you look at it in terms of ratings, evaluations or feedback, it is too simple. Moreover, comparing the systems of Daimi and Xiawei, their update frequency and actual results are far less. It’s not as good as major updates every quarter, and it also creates redundant system file garbage.”
Zhang Benyu, wearing black-rimmed glasses, frowned slightly and asked Gu Qing.
As a thirty-year-old man, every time he asked Gu Qing a question, his attitude was very respectful.
But Gu Qing knew that this young man secretly posted his photo in the room, just like a fan looking at an idol...
He does not advocate personality worship, but he is a leader in technology. And it is indeed true, so I can only choose to be Zhang Benyu’s teacher for the time being.
"Dami MIUI is updated once a week, and Xiawei system is updated every half month or once a month.
This is actually normal, as is Microsoft's normal update frequency.
Fixing vulnerabilities Patching, adding small functions, and making some personalized customizations all require constant follow-up.
Of course, the most important thing is. Because the core of their system does not have real learning intelligence, at best it only has a set of algorithms for data capture and statistical deletion.
Just like building a house, the core framework limits the development of the system and the subsequent technology. People can only build bricks and decorate the inside and outside of the building if they are better.
But none of them were able to knock down the load-bearing walls and modify the main layout of the building.
In comparison, this is one of the advantages of our Gonggong system. The core framework has enough room for expansion, the internal logic is more intelligent, and it has real learning capabilities. "After teaching a document he wrote to the future successor of the software engineering department, Boss Gu left the software engineering department.
The cooperation with Xia Wei was really It's better to rush early than to rush late.
There is a lot of external pressure, and some internal executives who were still hesitant immediately chose to put more eggs in one basket.
The name of Suiren Co., Ltd.'s first high-end smart personal mobile terminal has been decided.
Suiren X1.
The appearance design is not foldable, nor is it a rigid tablet or sliding cover, but a true "custom design".
Thanks to the cross-generational screen materials and the strong plasticity of the flexible screen panel, Suiren X1 can not only provide the most original scroll design, users can also choose a folding design, and this folding is not a single inward folding Or fold it outwards, or fold it twice.
The user chooses how to fold it, just like origami. However, it is limited by the screen material. In order to ensure that the folded screen has sufficient hardness, it can only be folded twice at most. That is It has one more screen overlap than any folding screen phone currently on the market.
The display project has begun production, and the screen inventory will reach 300,000 pieces by the end of the fourth quarter.
Of course Suiren Company placed an order for the purchase, and the price was 5,000 yuan per screen, for a total purchase price of 1.5 billion yuan.
The advance payment is 30%, which means that Jiuzhou Technology’s current account has an increase of 450 million Xia Yuan.
The money was provided by Suiren Company, but upon closer inspection, it was considered to be provided by Xia Wei Company, which was extremely wealthy.
After all, Gu Qing's position at the time was very clear. Technology and products could be exclusively supplied and invested, and money could be asked for. No need to discuss more than one billion.
Of course, due to the special nature of Suiren Company, all procurement expenditures, as long as they are products of Jiuzhou Technology and Xiawei Company, only require advance payment.
Xia Wei was not very satisfied at first, but Gu Qing then provided a mobile phone system called Gonggong, which instantly convinced Xia Wei and all the executives.
We directly provide a free smartphone system, equipped with the Jiuzhou compiler, which can be simultaneously compatible with Android and Pingguo mobile software.
Isn’t this worth billions or even tens of billions?
Of course he was stimulated by this system, and Xia Wei simultaneously provided the CPU of HiSilicon Kirin 9905G.
This is the first time that Xia Wei has provided its most advanced chips to a company that is not controlled by Xia Wei.
After getting this chip, Gu Qing led the R&D personnel of the two companies to run the system first.
The result is gratifying, but also embarrassing.
The Gonggong system, which has not been optimized for CPU localization and performance, actually runs more smoothly than Xia Wei's own system, releasing 5% more hardware performance...
Amidst everyone’s exclamations, Boss Gu called Mr. Ren’s personal phone number.
Then he said that this chip is great. I think the new lithography machine that Shanghai Microelectronics is developing may be ready for trial production.
Although the cost is a bit high, this technology is feasible.
Mr. Ren was naturally excited, and on the same day, senior executives from Xia Wei were on a business trip to Shanghai Microelectronics.
The CPU, screen, radio frequency chip, and image control chip are all solved, and there is also a memory chip that accounts for the majority.
With the joint efforts of the two executives, Dajiang Storage and Unisplendour have become the main suppliers.
Ziguang Group has been having a tough time recently.
The debt is hundreds of billions, and if you are unlucky, you may be on the verge of bankruptcy.
Obviously there are serious problems in the capital chain of Ziguang Group. However, the projects held by Ziguang Group are basically high-end and promising projects, so others are not worried about Ziguang Group’s insolvency. question.
But since the projects in the hands of Ziguang Group are all high-quality projects, how can it reach the point of reaching a debt of 100 billion?
Without him, it’s just like Korean stars, they take too big a step and it’s too late.
Buy technology, buy companies, buy production equipment.
While exerting too much force, it failed to integrate resources well and develop advantageous projects, so the debt was high and the profits were not much.
Gu Qing is not opposed to buying technology. After all, simply pursuing R&D requires too much time and human resources. However, he looks down on Ziguang Group buying technology and companies, just like a cook buying kitchen utensils. It is not good. After practicing my cooking skills, I ran out to cook and open a restaurant.
It is precisely in order to reduce constraints that Gu Qing led the Titan Star department to build several intelligent unmanned production lines. In addition to producing small parts such as mobile phone speakers, it can also be used for motherboard patching. Assemble.
Mobile phone motherboards are the same as computer motherboards. They are the carrier through which mobile phone functional hardware communicates with each other and provide power to each hardware.
Therefore, many functional hardware are assembled and integrated on the motherboard. Once the motherboard is broken, most of the other hardware is considered scrapped.
The R&D personnel of the Titan Star Department are basically men with hardware engineering degrees. With the addition of advanced robotic arms, the time it takes to implement a product idea into product production will often be reduced by more than half compared to normal R&D time.
Of course, this is also because of the hard work of the people in the Construction Engineering Department. The construction of the Jiuzhou Park has never stopped. The man carrying the bucket at the construction site has almost circled Chengdu...
How much money was given? , but the requirements are high and the construction period is strictly controlled, which is completely unacceptable to some people who are idle and like to work hard.
“The European area has been handed over to Bloomberg, and he got started pretty quickly. I will help him get started in another month, and I will go to Neon to develop the market in September.”
On the phone, Huang Chaoren was reporting the situation.
“Thank you for your hard work, I will ask the security department to arrange two teams to take charge of your personal safety in Neon. Don’t worry, we will definitely provide you with personal protection 24/7.”
On the other end of the phone Huang Chaoren was so moved that he choked up when he heard Gu Qing's "meticulous and considerate" arrangements.
“When I occasionally want to experience the customs and customs of the neon island country, I don’t need to bother my brothers from the security department to protect them 24 hours a day...”
Gu Qing’s tone He immediately became serious.
"Comrade Huang Chaoren, the international situation has been so turbulent recently. As an executive of our company in a foreign country, the company has the obligation and must ensure your personal safety.
Safety is the biggest thing, and I would like you to Work a little slower, and I hope you can come back and have hot pot with us safely.
That’s it, I’m a little busy here. Let’s talk back.”
Huang Chaoren heard this. I was actually speechless and choked.
"I, I, I really just want to experience the local customs..."
PS: Thank you all for your recommendation votes and monthly votes.
