Chapter 871 Become a downstream manufacturer of Loongson Company
Down below, a man in the third row was very excited.
He is in his thirties, energetic, and has gained a great reputation in Zhongguancun, the capital.
“Mr. Lei, Mingzhou Group is very courageous. We can make money together.” A person next to him whispered to him: “I am very moved by this.”
“Mr. Lei?” The people next to him looked at him fascinated. Could it be that he had really made up his mind?
Lei Jun swallowed: "Yes, I'm tempted too. I decided to resign from Jinshan Company and start a mobile phone company!"
Lei Jun was born in Hubei in 1969. When he was in college, he went to the Computer Science Department of Wuhan University. He was very good. It only took him two years to complete all the credits, meet the graduation requirements, and also complete the graduation project.
After that, Lei Jun began to enter the computer market. His software and hardware skills are top-notch, and he has done a variety of things: he has written encryption software, anti-virus software, financial software, CAD software, Chinese systems, and various practical gadgets. He has even worked as a hacker. He founded Passed a career, but later ended in failure.
In 1992, Lei Jun entered Kingsoft Corporation and rose all the way up. In 1998, he reached the position of general manager of Kingsoft Corporation. This year, Kingsoft carried out joint-stock reform, and he became the president of Capital Kingsoft Software Co., Ltd.
However, no matter how outstanding he is, he is just a guest at Jinshan Company. Now, he wants to have a company that truly belongs to him, a company that focuses on mobile phones!
His heart was on fire.
The people next to me opened their eyes wide. They actually want to quit their current executive jobs and go out to work alone? How much courage this requires.
However, following the Mingzhou Group has meat to eat. This is a truth that has long been proven. Do you want to burn the boat again?
When the light shone on Qin Tao, the whole scene was silent again. Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin of Mingzhou Group came in person!
"Only our Mingzhou Group is strong, and that does not count as the strength of the motherland. Only our Loongson Company is a high-tech company, so our country does not realize true high-tech! Now, we hope that under the leadership of our Loongson Company, More high-tech companies are emerging across the country. We are just taking you on the first step so that you can smoothly enter the mobile phone industry and gain a firm foothold. As long as you have enough profits, you can invest in research and development and make more innovations. Advanced technology will ultimately promote our country’s progress in the field of electronic information!”
The leaders sitting in the first row were very satisfied and nodded frequently.
"Technology knows no borders. That's a statement that means we don't want to make progress. The meaning of this sentence is that we don't need to engage in high-tech industries. We only need to engage in downstream industries and serve as a dumping market for technology products. Who can say this? , then there is no motherland in his heart, or in other words, in his heart, making money is the first, and patriotism is the second. We should all know that science and technology without borders is only the first half of a sentence, it also has The second half of the sentence is that scientists have their own motherland!"
Qin Tao was completely improvising. He had not planned to say this originally. However, looking at the Tsinghua students sitting behind him, he knew that he had to say something. It was not easy to come to the university to instill patriotism into these college students. Thinking is not easy either!
As for other people’s interpretations? He doesn't care. He has long been a thorn in others' eyes. He won't set foot on the soil of certain countries anyway. They can say whatever they want and he doesn't care what dirty water they throw at them.
"At the beginning, when our motherland was just founded, so many overseas Chinese resolutely gave up their jobs and embarked on the road of building the motherland. In the eyes of our older generation of scientists, the motherland is the most important. They Although they are respected by their peers abroad, they do not have a strong motherland behind them, so they will always be discriminated against. Their yellow skin and dark eyes will never truly integrate into those countries." Qin Tao said: "The older generation The choice is like this, what about the new generation of scientists?”
Qin Tao looked at the people below: "Everyone knows that our SMIC is already the most advanced chip foundry in the world. Do you know the story of the person in charge of establishing this foundry? His name is Zhang Rujin, and he is the most advanced chip foundry in Silicon Valley. A famous electronics expert, when the motherland needed him, he did not hesitate and embarked on the road to return to the country. Without him, there would be no progress in the chip field. Without the breakthrough of our Loongson. He and the group of scientists he represents It embodies the spirit of a true scientist. Science knows no borders, but scientists have their own motherland!"
"Everyone here is the elite of our country, especially the college students. You are the future of our motherland. There will be many opportunities in front of you in the future. You will study abroad, and the country will send you out at public expense. I heard, Some people are very proud and feel that their academic performance is good, so it is natural for them to be given a place to go abroad at public expense. After graduation, they also have the right to choose where to work. After all, water flows to higher places. College students below, when you finish your studies, will you be fascinated by the colorful world outside?"
“No!” A unanimous response suddenly erupted from below.
“Do you choose to stay abroad and work with those foreigners, or even marry or marry white people, thinking they are more advanced, or do you resolutely return to your country and contribute to the scientific and technological development of our country?”
“Go back home!”
“Okay, if someone in the future advocates to you that white people are a superior race, that it is beautiful to be united with white people, and that you are proud to stay abroad and serve Western countries, what will you do?”
“Fuck him!”
Several leaders of the school were sitting in the first row, their faces solemn.
“Mr. Qin, should we introduce our Kirin chip?” Mr. Ni also felt that the press conference was off topic, so he asked.
“Okay, let’s introduce it.” Qin Tao said.
“Everyone, our Kirin chip has powerful performance, so the mobile phone we develop will also have a new appearance. We plan to focus on the touch screen, and the main operations of the mobile phone are also performed through the touch screen.”
A CG picture of a mobile phone appeared on the projection screen. When they saw the beautiful mobile phone, everyone was stunned.
This is so high-end!
“Making phone calls is only its first function. It will also have many functions. I will explain them to you one by one. The first is the office aspect. It will be equipped with word processing software and spreadsheet processing software..."
Everyone's minds were filled with shock. Looking at the image of the mobile phone that appeared above, this was a design that completely subverted the entire era. The touch screen almost occupied the entire front of the phone. Even the numeric buttons for making calls were displayed on the touch screen. This was taken out. Absolutely superior.
Moreover, making calls is only one of its functions, and sending text messages is only incidental. Even these functions will be weakened in the future, because ICQ has also been integrated. As long as the Internet speed is enough, even the video function can be integrated, and you can listen to music and watch movies. TV, browsing websites, various applications are dazzling. Finally, it is introduced that it integrates e-book function, so you can read novels in your spare time.
In the future, with such a mobile phone, wouldn’t it be possible to do anything?
Qin Tao is still a little dissatisfied. Due to the performance limitations of the mobile phone, many functions still cannot be integrated. It cannot use convenient payment functions because this requires negotiation with the bank, which is a complex task. It cannot replace keys to use credit cards. There are many ways to unlock the door, take public transportation, etc. Because this requires additional components, this phone cannot be integrated at all. However, these functions alone are already incredible enough to make many people extremely surprised.
This phone has too many functions, right?
After Mr. Ni introduced the mobile phone, everyone's eyes flashed with excitement. The people around Lei Jun were also tempted, and many of the college students behind him were also tempted. Bill Gates also started his own business in college. They want to give it a try too!
“Everyone, now for the last part of the press conference, please ask Mr. Qin to show us the new Kirin chip!” Mr. Ni said.
Lao Ni just introduced that Mr. Qin was watching as a spectator. Mr. Ni was a little embarrassed. Of course, Mr. Qin must participate in the next action.
Qin Tao walked to the table, where there was a glass box covered with red cloth. When he opened the red cloth, all the lights hit the glass box. Qin Tao took out a chip from it: a A chip the size of a fingernail: "Everyone, this is our newly developed Kirin chip. It will usher in a new era of mobile phones!"
(In 2008, Huawei HiSilicon's first mobile phone chip was launched, using 0.18 micron technology. The technical indicators of our first mobile phone chip are benchmarked against this first mobile phone chip. Our manufacturing process has entered the 0.13 microns, so the production of this kind of mobile phone chip should not be considered bragging by the hero of East China.)
The leaders in the front row also opened their eyes wide. This chip is much smaller than Loongson, but its significance is much greater than Loongson. With the Kirin chip, mobile phones will have more and more functions. Maybe one day Will replace the computer!
There was a warm round of applause.
The news of the release of mobile phone chips by Loongson Company quickly spread across the world through radio waves, newspapers and the Internet. In Europe, companies such as Nokia and Ericsson, which dominate the mobile phone market, felt deep pressure. For them, this There was no sense of relaxation at all during Christmas. On Christmas night, they held a meeting to study and decide to deploy countermeasures. However, the result of their final discussion was pessimistic: without Dongfang's advanced chip manufacturing process, even if they tried hard to catch up, they would not be able to catch up. Definitely not up to the level of Oriental Kirin chips.
The more advanced the process, the smaller the size and heat generation of the chip. To reach the same level as Dongfang's chips, they need to pay several times the volume and heat generation of Dongfang's chips. Mobile phones cannot be made that thin, nor can they be that small.
There are also some people who are ready to make a move. Dongfang has provided a turnkey production model. They can go to Dongfang to cooperate and make a lot of money!
As for the East, there is an atmosphere of joy.
After the press conference, Mr. Ni and Qin Tao planned to leave, but before they left the lecture theater, they were already surrounded by a large group of people.
“Mr. Qin, I want to be a downstream manufacturer of Loongson Company and participate in the production of mobile phones together!” said a voice.
Qin Tao looked at this man in his thirties: "Who are you?"
A person's name came to Qin Tao's mind: "Are you Lei Jun?"
"Yes, it's me." Lei Jun was very excited: "Mr. Qin, do you know my name?"
“Well, you are an outstanding person in our high-tech field. By the way, have you thought of a name for your company?”
Lei Jun was startled: "We haven't done this yet. Does Mr. Qin have any suggestions?"
“How do you call it rice?”
Lei Jun nodded: "Okay, let's call it Mi Phone!"
Qin Tao was helpless: "What kind of rice is this? You have to be more specific!"
Be more specific? Lei Jun's mind was spinning rapidly. The name had to be simple so that people could remember it as soon as they heard it: "How about calling it Mi Phone?"
"Everyone just needs to sign up today. A week later, we will hold a technical meeting at Loongson Company. Loongson Company will hand over various technical information and chips to you. You can make your own motherboard, test it yourself, rewrite the program yourself, and make your own The company's mobile phones will arrive. After the technical testing is completed after the year, your mobile phone company will be listed on the market. As for the various application procedures, our Loongson company can help with it. You can choose to open a factory in Zhangjiang Science and Technology Park in Huating, or you can choose to open a factory in other cities. ." Qin Tao no longer chatted with Lei Jun alone, but began to make arrangements for everyone. There are still many things to do next.
Everyone still refused to leave and gathered around Qin Tao and Mr. Ni. Seeing this situation, Mr. Ni could only continue: "If you don't want to leave, we can find a conference room in the university and we will introduce it to everyone overnight. How about specific technical information?”
Only everyone was satisfied.
With this kind of technical information introduction, there is no need to worry about leaks. After all, even if some people know the meaning and function of each pin of the processor, they will not be able to reverse engineer the corresponding chip. The only processors in the world are Intel and AMD. After so many years, No one has copied it, not because there is no possibility of this thing being copied.
Qin Tao did not attend the specific meeting, because he didn’t understand it anyway. He accompanied the leaders who came to the meeting to have dinner, and these leaders were obviously very excited.
“Mr. Qin, you single-handedly established Loongson and SMIC, bringing our country’s chips to the world’s first-class level. Your hard work is a great reward, and we have to toast you!” A leader raised his glass.
"These are what we should do. Now that we are entering the mobile phone market, we have also seen that our mobile phone market is completely monopolized by foreign companies. Our huge market in the East must not become a tool for others to make money. We must develop mobile phones, not only Domestically, we will also export it abroad in the future to earn foreign exchange for us." Qin Tao said: "However, this also requires the support of leaders. After all, our mobile phones must be approved by relevant departments before they can be connected to the network."
“Mr. Qin, don’t worry, as long as the performance meets our needs, the approval will be green. If anyone dares to create obstacles, just come to me!” A leader said, patting his chest.
In fact, before entering the 5G era, the approval of mobile phones was just a process. Even if it was not approved, it could still be used. Otherwise, how could there be so many copycat phones?
Now, it would be better if everyone works together in harmony. If someone causes trouble for Qin Tao, then cheaper copycat phones will occupy the low-end market, leaving no market for foreign phones at all.
"Mr. Qin, can our mobile phone be bound to our operator?" Another leader said: "For example, if our operator launches a mobile phone, this mobile phone will enjoy the operator's tariff discount. policy."
This is the famous contract machine and customized machine. A certain manufacturer once relied on this kind of machine to survive. When the market for contract machine and customized machine is small, this manufacturer will not be able to survive in the country. After all, it cannot compete with other manufacturers in the market. .
"Of course, but our Loongson company will not come forward." Qin Tao said: "This model is cooperated by mobile phone manufacturers and operators. We still only provide turnkey models. Otherwise, we are both referees and athletes, and this competition will not be possible." unfolded.”
Everyone nodded: "Mr. Qin is right. Our operators can also set up a special mobile phone manufacturer to cooperate with Loongson. Of course, we will also create competition opportunities for other mobile phone manufacturers and make progress together."
After dinner, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Qin Tao returned home. The small courtyard was particularly warm. Zhao Ling, who had returned home from the hospital, frowned when she saw Qin Tao smelling of alcohol: "What are you going to do today?" Don’t you want to sleep on the sofa?”
Mr. Ni held a meeting with everyone all night, and in the early morning of the next day, everyone reluctantly left with a large amount of information. They knew that the most important thing for them at the moment was to recruit technical personnel and find a suitable factory. Prop up the mobile phone stall as soon as possible.
Mr. Ni also returned to the hotel and slept soundly until dark. When he woke up, there were two more people outside the door.
"Mr. Ni, we have been waiting for you for a long time. Can we talk to you?" One of them said: "By the way, let me introduce myself. We are from Asan Kingdom. We have heard your news and are very happy. Excited, we hope you can invest and build factories in our Asan. We are the second most populous country in the world, our economic development is stronger than that of the East, and our market is larger than that of the East. Loongson Company will invest in our Asan. If we build a factory, we will definitely gain huge benefits.”
"Sorry, you have the wrong person." Mr. Ni looked at these people with a helpless expression on his face: "Our Loongson Company is just a chip design unit, and the chips we design are handed over to SMIC for production. If you want to invite us to invest and build a factory, you should invite SMIC, not us as a design unit."
The other party was obviously taken aback. They proposed an invitation to invest in building a factory. They originally thought that Loongson Company would readily accept it, but unexpectedly, they were not invited into the room and were rejected outside?
“So, can we become your downstream manufacturer? We also hope to obtain relevant technical information, and then accept your turnkey model to manufacture our local mobile phones.” The other party settled for the next best thing.
Looking for SMIC to build a factory? What a joke, SMIC will only build factories in the East, there will be no second option. In the past, they had sent out an invitation, but it was ruthlessly rejected by the Easterners!
"Sorry, our chip production capacity is limited. At present, we can only give it to our domestic manufacturers first. If you really have an idea, you can come to us to open a factory." Mr. Ni continued: "When the time comes, we will give you The same treatment as domestic manufacturers.”
The other party's face turned red and white for a while. What is their purpose here? They just want to bring advanced enterprises from the East to their Asan side and invest in their territory. This will not only drive Asan’s employment, but also drive Asan’s technological development. When it comes to their one-third-acre land , shouldn’t you just leave it up to them?
Who would have thought that the Easterners would not sell their accounts!
What should we do now?
“Let’s go to the mobile phone factories they plan to set up. We can always convince some people.”
They are obviously not willing to fail.
Lao Ni returned to his room, turned on his computer, and logged into ICQ. A new group had just been created yesterday.
“Everyone, please note, if Asan invites you to invest and set up a factory in Asan, no matter how favorable the conditions are, you cannot agree!”
“Yes, received.”
“Received +1.”
“Received plus two.”
These people are all engaged in information technology, but they still stay connected to the Internet all the time. Is it just for the sun that can shine out in a month?
"Note that in the future, our mobile phones will be sold all over the world, and the Asan market will definitely be opened. All mobile phones entering the Asan market must require the purchaser of Asan to pay the full price before they can be shipped. If they only pay a deposit, You must not ship the goods. If you don't follow my arrangements, you will suffer heavy losses in the future and even cause the company's funds to be lost. Don't blame me for not warning you!"
"receive."
“The Asan market is risky, so investment needs to be cautious.”
“Boss, can we use a more euphemistic wording?”
“How to change?”
"Asan asked how much the full payment was? We answered: 8,888. Asan asked how much the deposit was? We answered: 8,888. It's not that we don't accept the request to pay only the deposit, but we are targeting Ah San’s deposit is the same as the full payment.”
"six."
“666!”
Lao Ni glanced at the ID, Lei Jun? Sure enough, this guy is not only good at technology, he is also a good salesman!
These requirements were all explained by Mr. Qin. In fact, Mr. Qin did not explain them specifically. However, Mr. Qin occasionally said a few words. If someone is careful and writes them down, he can sum up this rule: Mr. Qin explained that you cannot do business with Asan. To do business, you have to collect full payment, so it's best to trick them.
