Rebirth: It’s Like Flowing Water - Vol 5 Chapter 318
Mr. Ding agrees with Qi Lei’s point of view, that sometimes people have to be self-willed and crazy.
Otherwise, what’s the point of life?
In a sense, the smart phone is not just Qi Lei’s own madness and willfulness, but the madness of all the people in the gang, such as Ding Lei, Xiao Ma, Wang Zhendong, Tang Haichao, Chen Fangzhou, etc.
To this end, Mr. Ding has prepared a team of 1,000 people. In two to three years, he is expected to invest 10 billion RMB to make achievements in subdivided projects such as news apps, mobile games, and maps.
In addition, Penguin is still in his old business, getting instant messaging software.
Sanshi is responsible for the research on search engines, browsers and other projects.
Strive for the birth of mobile phones, the ecology can meet the needs of mobile Internet access in the current network environment, and even exceed user expectations.
The only pity is…
Mr. Ding was full of confidence at this time, “It’s just that this 2G mobile network is too weak! I don’t know if there will be any progress in communication transmission technology after three years.”
Looking forward to Ding Lei, the current 2G communication network, with a transmission speed of 10 KB, is theoretically unsuitable for smartphone applications.
In this regard, Qi Lei could only shrug his shoulders, this is not something Sanshi can solve.
Logically speaking, 3G is almost enough, and if Qi Lei remembers correctly, 3G network will be commercialized in 2007, and will not enter China until 2008.
“Wait, the Internet shouldn’t delay anything.”
…
The next stop, that is, the second purpose of the trip to Guangdong, is to go to Shenzhen, Shenzhou computer production base to prepare for the mobile phone motherboard project.
The task of the motherboard is not the same as the battery and the display panel. Because there is no need for that, it is all left to Imagination to complete.
The reason is that Imagination has experience in the research and development of computer motherboards, and Wang Zhendong took the initiative to ask him to hand over the motherboard to him.
To this end, he also set up a research and development team near the production base in Shenzhou, and poached several technical talents in mobile phone motherboards from Nokia and Samsung.
Calling Qi Lei over, mainly because there are a few problems that cannot be solved now.
Of course, it is not a technical problem, but a matter of selectivity.
One is that before the battery comes out, the internal layout cannot be determined, and the motherboard design cannot be developed.
What Wang Zhendong means is, can Guangyu and Byd decide on the battery specifications first, or he can only wait.
This matter needs to be coordinated by Qi Lei.
Another more prominent problem is related to the network.
Whether to design the motherboard according to the current 2G network, or to reserve the 3G communication chip, as well as the modification space of the antenna receiver and other components.
For ordinary people, there is no concept of 2G. and 3G, but for related companies, this is an industry factor that must be understood. When 3G will come out, I have a timetable in my mind.
Wang Zhendong’s idea is, “It seems that 3G should be a matter of three to four years. This time node is very embarrassing. After careful calculation, we are also producing products in about three years, just before 3G is launched.”
“If we still lock up 2G, it is likely to open the market and be forced to become obsolete.”
“However, if you reserve space for 3G upgrades, you will increase the difficulty of design.”
The space of the three-stone smart phone is not large, and the internal structure can be said to be an inch of land. In this case, it is a bit annoying to have to reserve space.
“So, you can only decide.” Wang Zhendong spread his hands, “You are more evil, and your sixth sense is more accurate. We will listen to you.”
Qi Lei smiled silently, his sixth sense came out? Is my brother better than the sixth sense?
After pondering for a long time, there is no accurate decision.
To put it bluntly, both sides are in trouble.
It just so happened that Qi Lei still had an appointment in the afternoon, so he said to Wang Zhendong, “Wait, I’ll go see someone first.”
Wang Zhendong was puzzled, “Who is it?”
Qi Lei, “Elder Ren of hw.”
“Oh~~!” Wang Zhendong understood, but the conversation changed, “Unless you go to see the presidents of Nokia and Ericsson, it’s useless to see Mr. Ren?”
HW is not as good as later generations now, and 3G patents are almost useless. So see Mr. Ren and let Mr. Ren give you an idea? Maybe not as good as your sixth sense!
In this regard, Qi Lei did not explain too much, and asked Wang Zhendong to find a car for him, and drove him to catch up with Ren Lao.
…
Meeting Mr. Ren was actually the third thing he did when he came to Guangdong.
Sanshi’s stall is so big now that Qi Lei really can’t take care of some things. In addition, a long time ago, he and Ren Lao talked about the intention of the two parties to cooperate in chip design.
Therefore, this time, the main purpose is to solve this problem.
When talking about 3G, Mr. Ren was really a little embarrassed.
“The third-generation communication technology standard (3G), we did make some efforts, but…” Mr. Ren smiled bitterly, “There are not many results.”
The HW business has not been around for a few years. Although it is still in the layout, it is estimated that it will take many years before it reaches its peak.
“So, I can’t give you any advice in this regard!”
Qi Lei listened, but still shook his head.
Elder Ren thought he didn’t agree with his words, so he simply said, “Then what do you think, let’s discuss it.”
Qi Lei returned to his soul, “Ah? No, no.” He quickly waved his hand, “You misunderstood!”
Suddenly, she was sleazy, and smiled a little obediently, “Elder Ren, I actually wanted to ask you to do me a favor.”
Mr. Ren was startled, “Help? Good! What are you busy with?”
“Look!” Qi Lei leaned forward perversely, “I think you have no future in 3G, so don’t waste your time and go to 4G!”
Elder Ren, “…”
What is no future? Why is this so ugly?
However, how does this stinky boy know that we skipped 3G and went directly to 4G?
Well, Qi Lei’s suggestion coincides with HW’s. Mr. Ren has never been entangled in 3G, and strives to be a blockbuster in the next generation of communication technology.
It’s just that the outside world is claiming to be engaged in 3G, but it is actually 4G.
How did this kid know? interesting.
Suddenly he smiled playfully, “Who told you that?”
Mr. Ren thought it was Comrade Qin. After all, HW’s little move was hidden from ordinary people, and it was clear from the above.
As a result, Qi Lei was stunned by this question, “Are you really doing 4G?”
Ren Lao saw that he didn’t seem to be acting, maybe it was a guess, and he didn’t bother, “otherwise, what should I do? The stupid bird will fly first.”
In fact, this is nothing new. For communication companies, these major companies basically follow this principle. If this generation is ahead, then I will simply let go and develop the next generation.
For example, in the 2G era, Qualcomm is the absolute king and dominates one side. Then companies like Nokia and Ericsson simply don’t bother about 2G and go for 3G.
In the 3G era, Nokia and Ericsson rose to prominence, Qualcomm and HW skipped 3G to engage in 4G, and the 4G era started.
With such a lack of interaction, you will find that the iteration of communication technology is actually very fast and relatively advanced. It is this alternating competition that brings about.
“Tell me, what are you doing? What can I do for you?”
Ren Lao didn’t want to play a kid’s guessing game with Qi Lei, so he went straight to the topic.
I saw Qi Lei leaning forward again cheekily, “Look, the question I’m facing now is whether to lock up 2G or leave room for 3G to increase R&D investment and difficulty.”
Ren Lao listened carefully, “I can’t help you with this, can I? You have to decide for yourself!”
Qi Lei, “I didn’t ask you to help me choose. In fact, I don’t want to choose myself.”
“Huh?” Ren Lao was a little confused, “You don’t want to choose? Can’t you choose?”
As a result, Qi Lei came up with an eye-opening sentence, “I want to increase the speed of 3G and let it land in two years, so I don’t need to choose? Just go directly to 3G!”
Ren Lao: “…” A little bit out of step with the rhythm of the young people.
Isn’t that the equivalent of wanting to eat stewed meat, and ended up opening a pig farm?
More and more curious, “then how are you going to let me help you speed up?”
Qi Lei became serious, “Join ZTE to make a joke with Nokia and Ericsson!”
Elder Ren, “…”
Well, I can see that this is not only making myself a gunner for him, but also a scumbag, and at the same time, I have to make a cameo appearance as a liar.
However, it seems to be fun.
Well, Mr. Ren is a little playful.
Subsequently, HW took the opportunity of an international exchange, and a Russian expert revealed the good news of a company to foreign media.
The HW Next Generation Communication Technology R&D Center has achieved significant results and achieved breakthroughs in several key technical fields. It is expected that in the next two to three years, there will be an explosive growth in the number of next generation communication technology patents.
As soon as the news came out, Nokia and Ericsson, who were recognized as leaders in 3G technology, did not take it seriously at all.
The leadership of these two companies in 3G is in a dominant position. How big of a wave can you create as a new Chinese company?
However, it got a little restless after that.
Another powerful communication company in China has also jumped out. ZTE announced that they have reached a strategic cooperation intention with HW to merge the two R&D teams on next-generation communication technology, and concentrate their strengths to launch a comprehensive attack on the next-generation communication technology.
This is a bit…the two are converging?
That has to be taken seriously.
Although there is still confidence in the leading position, the number of 3G patents, Nokia and Ericsson’s patents accounted for a full 66% of the later generations, which shows how solid the dominance is.
In this case, even if only 1% is allocated, it is not worth it!
Besides, what if it wasn’t 1%? What if 10%? What about 20%?
So, don’t care if it’s true or not, this matter has to be taken seriously.
What annoyed Nokia and Ericsson even more was that Qualcomm also jumped out at this time.
Qualcomm dominates 2G and has followed up in 3G, but the input and output are not as good as the above two. I also know that 3G is hopeless, so let’s look at 4G.
However, when I suddenly see two Chinese companies jumping out to disrupt the situation, no matter what the purpose is, in line with the principle that “making the opponent uncomfortable is the principle of making yourself feel better”, you have to help out!
Therefore, Qualcomm also disclosed its achievements in 3G through channels.
Qualcomm decided to increase 3G R&D investment by 5 billion yuan. It is expected that this year and next year will be the outbreak period for Qualcomm to register 3G patents. Finally, when 3G goes online, Qualcomm’s patent number should account for 16%.
Now Nokia and Ericsson are completely dumbfounded, doesn’t it make it clear that several partners are besieging me?
You know, they expect that Qualcomm’s patent share in 3G will not exceed 6%. Add 10 points at once, who can stand this?
If you don’t get it right, your dominance will not be guaranteed.
How to counter it?
Oh, the only way is to speed up and speed up the 3G network layout.
Originally, Nokia’s 3G communication technology was ready for commercial use in 2007. Now it’s no good, let’s work together and seize all the time in exchange for development space.
The timetable has been accelerated for one and a half years. It is expected that the first batch of commercial use will be realized in the fourth quarter of 2005, and the global coverage will be realized in the first half of 2006.
Ericsson also responded quickly, just like Nokia.
Ren Lao looked at the messy 3G situation and felt very relieved.
Feeling rejuvenated and rejuvenated, “Young people still pay attention to having a good time in doing things! Not bad!”
Now Qi Lei doesn’t need to do multiple-choice questions. It was commercialized in 2005, and it was promoted on the whole network in the first half of 2006. It must be 3G, so there is no need to choose it.
Afterwards, Wang Zhendong still shouted, “Look, look, I’ll say he has a trick! I’ll say that his sixth sense is very clever!”
The experts from the motherboard R&D team who listened to them grinned. What is the sixth sense? This is filthy!
How much damage? Look to scare Nokia and Ericsson.
But then again, are Nokia and Ericsson so dumb?
Ericsson doesn’t know, but Nokia obviously doesn’t want to admit it.
In fact, Nokia is not sure whether HW, ZTE, and Qualcomm are colluding to trap him, or whether there is any layout and action.
He didn’t dare to gamble, so he could only desperately grab the time~www.mtlnovel.com~ and close his eyes to throw money and increase investment.
However, money can’t be wasted in vain, and life can’t be wasted in vain, right?
The baby’s heart is bitter, the baby has to find a back pad.
Do not! Find a bunch of pads.
If someone harms me, then I will harm others, there will be back and forth!
So, in line with the principle of venting anger, Nokia is also brewing.
Moreover, when he was hit straight, the knife fell on Qi Lei’s head. To be precise, the entire smartphone track.
April 1, 2004, Western April Fool’s Day.
Nokia is the second high-profile release of its own smartphone concept map after Sanshi.
In addition to the large Nokia logo and the visually striking smartphone shape, there is also a series of numbers on the picture——
“Countdown to 700 days!”
This is not much kinder than Qi Lei. A concept map was posted on April Fool’s Day. Do you think it is true or false? Is it to amuse you, or to cast doubts? Does his smartphone really look like this?
Also, what the **** is that 700 days! ?
Qi Lei’s head buzzed, “Oh, I’ve been sanctioned!”
Not to mention Qi Lei, several other major smartphone competitors are also scalp tingling!
700 days? Much faster than us!
And to be honest, Nokia’s concept phone is very well designed, even surpassing the concept map of the three-stone mobile phone that Qi Lei posted before, and it has become a new favorite in the field of smart phones.
The sense of crisis in each family came up immediately, and it was as tangled as Nokia at the beginning. Do I believe it or not? Can you believe it?
And Nokia’s side is cool.
“Don’t think about it any better!”
