Rebirth: It’s Like Flowing Water - Vol 5 Chapter 311
In fact, several technical requirements proposed by Qi Lei are not too difficult to look at individually, whether it is capacity, volume, or charging and discharging requirements.
The development of lithium batteries is quite mature and does not belong to any cutting-edge technology to be opened up.
For example, BYD already has a cadmium oxide negative electrode chemical activation treatment process. This process improves the safety index of the battery by a large margin, and can also meet the requirements of fast charging.
Therefore, it is not difficult to take it out alone.
But the problem is that it is a bit too difficult to include the elements of large capacity and small size, as well as safety and fast charging.
The capacity of more than 1000 mAh, the thickness of less than 5 mm, the size can be stuffed into a smart phone, and it must be safe, and it is best to have a fast charge, which is hell-level difficulty for battery manufacturers.
Let’s put it this way, Nokia’s new 3300 this year, the main selling point of music and game phones. Although it is a bit too “alien”, the battery capacity is absolutely not to choose, otherwise it will not be able to support long-term mp3 playback and games.
But even so, the 3300’s battery capacity is only 780 mAh.
And the battery is bigger and thicker than that of the three-stone smartphone.
What’s more, the 3300 uses a removable battery to solve power anxiety, and now almost all mobile phones use replaceable batteries.
When users buy a mobile phone, they usually buy a spare battery and use the two in turn. Some mobile phone manufacturers even send an extra battery from the factory.
However, for the Sanshi smartphone, the final solution uses an integrated battery design, the back cover is sealed, and a battery is left to the end.
It’s not that I don’t want to adopt a split design, or it’s not that I can’t design it. But the fuselage is too thin, the battery is too thin, and the strength of the fuselage must be considered.
If the battery can still be buckled, there is only one screen left, which can be bent with one hand. Who would dare to buy such a mobile phone?
Only the rigidity index of the battery and the back cover can be used to ensure the strength by the overall stress characteristics after packaging.
And this means that people use two batteries in turn, and you only have one battery, which cannot be disassembled, and the requirements for the battery are even higher.
You guys get a headache just thinking about it.
So, “Can’t we drop the index a bit?”
Nan Lao and Qi Lei discussed it.
In this regard, Qi Lei’s answer was cruel, making everyone almost crazy.
“No! This matter is not negotiable.”
At this time, Qi Lei’s eyes were firm, even fierce, and he was not the good boss who was usually bullied at all, so that Byron’s head-to-mouth confrontation was swallowed back.
In this matter, Qi Lei came to talk, no one said anything.
Afterwards, Nan Lao still couldn’t understand, “Why are you so stubborn?”
Qi Lei’s answer was, “Master Nan, it’s not that I’m not stubborn! Rather, this is the bargaining chip for us to win the final victory.”
Nan Lao, “???”
I saw Qi Lei with a contemptuous smile, “Master Nan, what technology, what screen, what function, those are just basic needs. In some aspects, we can only catch up, and breaking the sky is equal.”
“What really makes us stand out in this competition is actually these stubborn persistence.”
Nan Lao, “…”
After a long silence, “Can you tell me more?”
Qi Lei, “Okay!”
In fact, Qi Lei’s internal logic is not difficult to understand, but it is a bit complicated to say.
With the current level of technology, including the technological capabilities of later generations, the mobile phone style known to later generations may be the only solution.
In later generations, everyone loves to complain, saying that mobile phones all look the same, and they are not as good as the various mobile phones of the Nokia and Motorola era.
Actually, this is an illusion.
A mobile phone is, first and foremost, a communication tool, so it should be lightweight and easy to hold with one hand.
Second, smartphones are characterized by multimedia interactivity. Therefore, not only must there be a large screen, but also enough sensors to assist interaction, which leads to the complexity of the internal structure.
Then, it is a portable device, and it must be ready to go, and it can easily fit into any pocket.
Finally, because it is a commodity and has social attributes, the commodity that is often displayed should also take into account the sense of design and public aesthetics.
We think those old phones are good, very good, even better than now, more out of a feeling, and a sensory amplification of a certain specialty.
For example, Nokia n95 and n72 are regarded as classic masterpieces.
Even in retrospect 20 years later, I still think that the mobile phone is excellent, beautiful, and worthy of aftertaste.
But having said that, in later generations, Nokia made the smart phone like n95 and n72, will you pay for it? Most people don’t!
Because even if it has the performance of a smartphone, the size of the screen cannot meet the daily needs of brushing videos, playing games, and viewing web pages.
too small!
Then some people may say, wouldn’t it be enough to make the screen bigger? If it covers the front of the phone so big? Is that still n95? Isn’t it a thickened version of the cottage?
The phone is enlarged as a whole? Not to mention affecting the senses, can we still hold it? Can it be operated with one hand?
In order to meet the requirements of one-handed holding, flexible operation, large-screen multimedia interaction, portability, and a sense of design must be taken into account.
At the same time, it is necessary to put all the extremely complex modern technology into the mobile phone, and the smart phone style of later generations is almost the only solution.
At present, among Nokia, Motorola, Microsoft, BlackBerry, Apple, Samsung, and all companies competing on the track, Sanshi may be the only company that does not need to take detours and go straight to the main body.
Other companies are still exploring, including the previous Nokia and Motorola, clamshell, slider and various special-shaped mobile phones, and are also exploring design solutions that meet all the elements.
How could Qi Lei easily throw away this advantage?
What if you don’t throw it away? Then you can only pursue the ultimate.
“For the time being, we can’t make better chips than Intel, nor can we achieve the integration capabilities of American companies.”
“Like Apple, Microsoft, we can’t compare!”
“Then what should I do? Just relying on me to play outside will not be the best in the world.”
“Only if the battery capacity is larger, the phone is made thinner and more beautiful, the screen is clearer, coupled with fast charging technology, etc., and the details are deducted to enhance the user’s overall senses and experience, there is hope to win. ”
“Otherwise…” He spread his hands, “otherwise what should we do? We will do what people do? Finally, we return to the level of price wars, relying on cheap Chinese labor to seize the low-end market?”
Nan Lao listened, fell into contemplation, and finally, “Listen to you!”
“However!” Nan Lao’s words changed, “We’ve listened to you on the battery, what about the camera lens?”
This is another problem.
“The lens?” Qi Lei frowned, “Aren’t you talking about Nikon?”
When Nan Lao heard this, he smiled bitterly until the folds of the old face were squeezed together, “How dare you talk about Nikon? They really dare to speak!”
“What they mean is that it can be done, but it requires 2 billion yuan in research and development funds. After it is completed, the patent will not be our share!”
Qi Lei, “…”
Well, he really didn’t ask about it.
Nikon is already owned by Paulson. In theory, even if you don’t say it’s your own, it’s also a building near the water, right? Therefore, Qi Lei didn’t worry too much about the issue of mobile phone lenses.
Of course, Nikon’s greatest strength is optical technology, especially digital cameras. It is not difficult for them to make a mobile phone camera at all, it is a matter of miniaturizing the camera lens, and even digital programs are ready-made.
Therefore, the Chinese headquarters, as well as the North American Sanshi, are in contact with Nikon for the task of the lens.
How to say 2 billion yuan? And patent issues?
“I’ll ask Paulson.”
As he spoke, Qi Lei took out his phone, “Hello? What’s going on with Nikon?”
Of course, Qi Lei and Uncle Bao are welcome. He believes that Paulson is not that stupid, and he wants to make a fortune in one shot.
In fact, it’s really not Paulson’s problem, his pattern is not so small.
“Qi, this is a bit complicated, it’s really not my problem.”
how to say? The mobile phone lens can be divided into three parts, the optical lens module, the numerical control program, and the control chip.
The lens module requires precision and mechanical performance, and only these are not enough.
The so-called digital camera also requires a program to calibrate and optimize the captured image, and the program needs a special chip to run.
To put it bluntly, the same two lens modules have different programs, different color saturation and pixels, and the efficiency of running programs on two different chips is also different.
In terms of mobile phone lenses, the most advantageous are undoubtedly the old mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia and Motorola.
After all, people have been playing for many years, and the lens modules, programs and chips have a foundation.
The second is traditional digital camera companies such as Nikon, Canon, and Leica. Lens modules may not be developed for mobile phone applications, but CNC programs and chip technology are even more mature than mobile phone manufacturers.
In the end, there are new forces such as Sanshi, Apple, and Microsoft.
Originally, Paulson acquired Nikon, which is good news for the three-stone series, ahead of other companies.
But the problem is, others are not stupid, especially companies like Microsoft and Apple. Old-fashioned strong companies are no joke, no matter in terms of forward-looking or R&D strength, they are incomparable.
Paulson bought Nikon, and they saw a possible threat in the lens, so it wasn’t slow at all.
And their countermeasures were so simple and rude that Qi Lei was envious and jealous.
Paulson, “Let’s put it this way, the lens modules and CNC programs are all owned by Nikon, and it doesn’t cost much to engage in new research and development. However, the basic instruction set of all CNC programs, as well as the CNC chip patents, are from the United States. , or all under the control of Silicon Valley.”
It’s not about chips. It’s not difficult to use CNC chips. It can be made in Japan and Europe, but the patents are owned by Silicon Valley companies such as Intel.
“On this basis, they don’t have to chase at all, and directly cut off Nikon’s chip supply.”
“There is no way, I can only find the b palace, and there are still many relationships to mediate from it, so I stopped this issue in the name of prohibiting vicious competition.”
“The final result is that Nikon is responsible for the R&D and integration of mobile phone lenses, and US companies cannot set a threshold for fair procurement.”
The point of this sentence is not fair procurement, but “American business”.
“So!” Paulson was also helpless, “Sanshi in North America is within the protection regulations and can use Nikon cameras normally, but Sanshi China…”
“Understood.” Qi Lei couldn’t hold back the fire, “That’s why you guys are playing as a family, throw me out!”
Paulson, “No no no, Qi, listen to me!”
“This result is really not what I want to see.” Paulson has a deep connection with Qi Lei, and he will not set a threshold for China’s three stones for this trivial matter.
“The 2 billion R&D investment is the idea of the Ministry of Commerce, and I have no way to control it.”
“The reason why I didn’t tell you in advance is because I have already prepared. For the 2 billion, Desheng will pay two-thirds, and you only need to take about 600 million.”
Paulson is full of sincerity, but Qi Lei is still helpless, saying that 600 million is not money, this is annoying!
Can you not be envious? What is strength? This is called strength!
Obviously you have mastered the initiative, and you are absolutely sure about the camera. But people just moved their fingers, and the situation was reversed. Instead, Qi Lei paid the price.
Or how about the development of technology? How can I rely on myself?
On the high-tech track, only China is against the world, and there is no other option.
The opposite Paulson was also very sorry, “Qi, I’m really sorry this time!”
Qi Lei knew that Paulson had a lot of heart, but he couldn’t blame him this time.
He pondered for a while, “Okay, don’t worry about it.”
After he finished speaking, he added, “For sharing Nikon’s lens modules, the grandchildren of Microsoft and Apple also have to pay, right?”
Paulson, “Of course! In fact, the R&D and post-stage costs they put out are similar to yours, about 600 to 700 million.”
Qi Lei, “I see.”
After hanging up the phone, Nan Lao came forward, “How is it? Is it troublesome?”
Qi Lei smiled, “Very good!”
If it didn’t happen, he really didn’t think about it, “We don’t need Nikon anymore.”
Nan Lao Yi was stagnant, “Do you do it yourself again?”
Qi Lei shook his head, “Let me think again.”
…
————
To tell the truth, I can’t spend 600 million to 700 million yuan to do it myself, mainly because of the trouble.
Lens modules, numerical control programs, and chips are all indispensable. And the cycle is also long, and it is not necessarily effective.
Just look at the current domestic mobile phones. Bird, BBK, tcl, Konka, etc., they are also making their own lenses.
This is not self-reliance, but the price of domestic mobile phones is not enough to support them to introduce foreign technology.
However, the photos taken by that lens are just like the original animation, and they are all blurry.
It is not difficult to imagine that if Sanshi is engaged in R&D by himself, he will have to go through this stage and accumulate experience.
However, UU reading www. How can I use something like uukanshu.com?
Of course, we still have to do it, and it depends on how we do it.
Qi Lei has other plans for this matter, so he will put it aside for the time being. The primary problem at the moment is the battery.
What’s more, what Qi Lei didn’t expect was that the difficulty was greater than he imagined. It’s not just a technical problem, the main resistance is actually from the enterprise.
On the second day of the meeting, when Qi Lei announced the technical requirements for battery modules, many domestic battery manufacturers were all dumbfounded and retreated.
