Chapter 227 We are all friends
Although Zhongguancun is called a village, it is actually a park.
It stretches from the North Fifth Ring Road in the north to the West Second Ring Road in the south, with a total area of 217 square kilometers, occupying one 75th of the entire capital.
Tianxing Technology’s Beijing office is located in the same Zhongguancun as Li Auto, but it takes more than half an hour to drive.
“How was it?”
A group of people gathered around the computer on the front cover of the car and had a lively discussion. Even Li Xiang could interrupt from time to time.
Lu Liang is like an illiterate. Regarding computer technology, he only knows how to restart if it can't handle it. If it can't handle it even after restarting, reinstall the system.
Li Jiahui always kept Boss Lu in mind, and withdrew from the crowd, saying softly: "Mr. Lu, as I thought, the ideal is to use the Linux system."
Linux is a free and For a freely disseminated operating system, he just said 5 million to find a team to outsource, which is an overestimation.
As long as a reward of 1 million is offered and a few engineers with relevant majors are recruited, the system can be adapted to the car in less than two months.
The degree of intelligent driving is infinitely close to zero. It is a voice central control system, which is mainly used to schedule functions in the car.
Auxiliary entertainment functions such as playing music, raising and lowering windows, seat heating, seat massage, and interior lighting.
“So, our system is better than his?”
Lu Liang didn’t understand, but he could hear Li Jiahui’s arrogance.
Li Jiahui pondered and explained in words that Lu Liang could understand: "ONE is equipped with a 14-nanometer Snapdragon 820A chip. If the smooth execution of the Linux system is 70%, then it is at least 90% or more using STOS."
The main reason is that they focus on smart driving. If the system is optimized, it can reach at least 110%.
Lu Liang understood: "Then I know it in my heart."
As for Li Jiahui, he said that it was still far from being involved in the power, braking and other systems, so he didn't take it to heart.
As for the auxiliary entertainment function, if there is a lag or the feedback is not timely, it is not a big problem, but if it is connected to the power system, this situation will be a waste of human life.
Ideal wants to use it, but Lu Liang doesn’t dare to let them use it.
Soon, Li Xiang also withdrew from the discussion and praised: "Mr. Lu, I didn't expect you really gave me a surprise."
"Mr. Li, this system is not mature yet. It can only be said to be barely usable. ." Lu Liang smiled humbly and calmly.
“In half a year, it has achieved such an effect, which is already remarkable.” Li Xiang apologized and cursed Lu Liang a hundred times in his heart.
With less than 48 hours left before the press conference, he really wants the TSOS system to be installed on the Ideal ONE.
He knows very well what virtues the Linux system has. If it freezes or becomes unresponsive during the press conference, it will be embarrassing.
Li Xiang could only bite the bullet and asked: "Mr. Lu, what do you think about the cost issue?"
"We are all friends, how much money does it cost, not to mention it is an immature car-machine system."
Lu Liang is very generous. With a wave of his hand, everything is free, including future system updates.
Li Jiahui said that although the current version of the car cannot intervene in the power system, it can act as an observer to collect driving data and lay a good foundation for future smart driving.
Li Xiang saw Lu Liang's intention and laughed a few times: "Since Mr. Lu is so grand, we won't be polite."
"They are all friends." Lu Liang smiled.
He is already planning to get Lao Luo’s Smartisan OS as soon as possible, then optimize the central control, and finally learn from Tesla and open it for free.
As long as everyone is accustomed to their system, when the smart driving version comes out, they will be able to reap a huge harvest.
But there is a premise, they must always be far ahead, so that car dealers have the idea that it is better to buy than to build.
If the performance lead of the car and machine is not large, then they will definitely choose to develop it in-house, just like NIO’s Li Bing.
However, in the next three or two years, no one should make a big bet on this aspect, giving them enough time.
Because the new energy market is still too small and the prospects are unclear, the new car-making forces spend all their efforts just to survive, and there is no spare money to develop their own cars.
Just like in the current mobile phone circle, in the past few years, domestic systems such as Unbounded Pampers, Miyou and Hongmeng have been put on the agenda. In the early years, these manufacturers used Android directly.
After a while, Lu Liang left Li Jiahui and several scientific researchers in Ideal to help them complete the debugging of the system before the press conference.
He took Wen Chao and the accompanying security personnel to the Paradise Soup in the capital, reserved a large pool, and waited for Zhu Hu to come.
"Brother Lu, why are you free tonight? Please invite Brother Hu to come and take a hot spring bath?"
Lao Zhu was all smiles. Hearing that Lu Liang had made a lot of money by short selling the Dow Jones Index, he knew he could save some money this year. .
Jinshajiang is also a private equity fund, managing approximately US$2 billion in assets, and invested US$200 million in Lu Liang. If Tianxing earns more, Jinshajiang can earn less, and the performance pressure will not be so great.
"I must go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing." Lu Liang smiled and waved his hand to disperse the service staff by the pool.
Seeing this, Zhu Hu stopped his smile and sat by the pool to soak his feet: "If you need help, just say something."
Lu Liang sat next to Zhu Hu and soaked his feet together: "Do you know anything about Hammer Technology? How much? "
He made an appointment with Zhu Hu tonight just to talk to him about how to dismantle Smartisan Technology.
Zhu Hu thought for a while: "Not much. I mainly thought that Lao Luo was quite a troublemaker, so I just voted for him casually."
Luo Yonghao's acting style can be described as exaggerated. Every time there is news announced, a press conference will be held at the National Convention Center.
Although renting for a day only costs hundreds of thousands, but outsiders don't know it, looking at the sign of the National Convention Center, they will think it is awesome.
So even though he knew that Lao Luo was fishing, Zhu Hu still took the bait and led the Series C financing with 70 million, which was not particularly large.
“What’s the current financial situation like?” Lu Liang asked again.
“I remember taking a look last month. There was less than 500,000 yuan in the account, and more than one billion yuan was owed.”
Zhu Hu was surprised: “You won’t be right. Are you interested?”
If Lu Liang was interested in the hammer, he would have to re-examine the hammer.
Douyin has completely conquered the southern market, posing a threat to Kuaishou in the north. The international version of TT is also making waves in Southeast Asia.
The market’s valuation of Douyin has also risen, from US$7.8 billion to US$1.8 billion, already exceeding Byte’s valuation.
It is enough to prove that Lu Liang not only has a good vision in finance, but also has a first-class sense of smell for the Internet.
Although the new energy industry, which he is most optimistic about, still looks half-dead, the industry must take its time.
Lu Liang said bluntly: "I want Hammer's system. What is the probability that Lao Luo will sell the entire team?"
Zhu Hu tentatively asked: "Planning to switch to car manufacturing?"
< br>Lu Liang nodded, not worried about exposing his target and attracting crowds to grab it, because the pattern of the mobile phone industry has basically taken shape, and the surviving manufacturers now have their own systems.
Whether it is OV, Xiaomi, Meizu or Juhua, if they use the Hammer system, they will be laughed to death by their friends.
As for the car industry, as I said before, the market is too small and the future is unclear, so no one will work hard on cars and machines.
Zhu Hu pondered: "Lao Luo has a bit of a stubborn temper. Asking him to sell the operating system is no less than selling the entire hammer."
"So there is no need to talk?" Lu Liang squinted his eyes and talked softly. No, then don't blame him for being violent.
We will directly drive Smartisan Technology to bankruptcy. At that time, Lao Luo will have to sell even if he doesn’t want to.
Zhu Hu coughed a few times: "Actually, Hammer still has some brand value."
When Hammer goes bankrupt, 70 million will be wasted. Although Lao Luo has to lose money, what about him? Only then can we afford to pay.
The best case scenario is that Lu Liang takes over the business, puts it into a shell, and goes public directly. With his influence in the financial market, it can become 700 million in minutes.
Lu Liang was speechless and glared angrily: "Pick up a mouse and open an Internet cafe?"
Hammer has more than one billion in debt, the company has no money in its accounts, and only a bunch of warehouses are left to be eliminated. goods. The mobile phone ecological niche has also been basically divided up. Even if his head is kicked by a donkey, he will not be able to take over.
Zhu Hu deceived: "You can't say that. The car and the phone in the car have something in common."
Lu Liang shook his head. He had seen Hammer's According to information, even mobile phones are produced by Foxconn, and there is no industry.
There are only more than 400 employees. It doesn't matter what you want. Even the system patent is worth some money, so what's the use of the others?
Lu Liang stopped Zhu Hu from continuing: "Brother Hu, can you help me?"
Zhu Hu was speechless for a moment, swallowed the words and nodded heavily: "Help."
Obviously, the book loss of 70 million is nothing compared to Lu Liang's friendship.
When Lu Liang asked him to invest in Douyin, he made more than five 70 million yuan based on the current valuation.
What's more, Hammer seems to be helpless. This investment is destined to fail, so it is better to sell it as a favor.
After all, he is still thinking about Tianxing Technology.
Thanks to book friend 6440 for the reward.
